Chapter 223: Striking the West
Before I knew it, more than half of the winter vacation at Cambrian College had passed.
Yan Hua originally wanted to think about how to develop and improve his newly awakened abilities during this time, but he didn't expect that his second New Year's party in the Cambrian would be spent on the ice field.
Because of the assistance of the Icewolf, it only took Yan Hua and them three days to rush back to the station of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Group.
Of course, the Iceborne Wolves just sent everyone to the vicinity of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Group and returned to the Glacier Valley, without revealing their existence the whole time.
Su Xiaoxiao was also surprised that Yan Hua had trained the Ice Plain Wolves in such a short period of time, but since there were important things to do next, they didn't have the extra energy to get to the bottom of it.
Therefore, it also saved Yan Hua and Lu Tian a lot of trouble.
Seeing that the station of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Group was in sight, Lu Tian poked his head out of his backpack and leaned into Yan Hua's ear as if he was affectionate, but in fact threatened: "I will always follow you, if you dare to betray me, you know the consequences." ”
Yan Hua looked ahead, avoided Su Xiaoxiao and the others behind him, and replied calmly: "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life." And I've always been true to my word, and since I made a deal with you, there is no reason to go back. ”
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, if I notice something wrong, you can wait for my revenge!" ”
Yan Hua smiled slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Got it." ”
"Humph!"
While speaking, Yan Hua and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the stronghold of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Group, and when he saw this, he finally snorted coldly and got back into his backpack.
"Huh? Young Commander, they're back! ”
As soon as Yan Hua and the others approached the valley, the members of the mercenary group in charge of patrolling spotted them, and then said to their companions with a look of surprise, "Go and inform the head and Mrs." ”
"Huh?"
Xiong Chao suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard this, and then took the first step in front of the Xiongcheng mercenary who wanted to come over to say hello, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zeng, you just said that my mother is here?" ”
When the mercenary saw that Xiong Chao actually took the initiative to talk to him, and called himself Uncle Zeng for the first time in a long time, the smile on his face couldn't help but become brighter, and he nodded and said, "That's right, it's Madame who is here." ”
Xiong Chao stood in place and asked incredulously, "Didn't Mother never come here?" How could it be this time? ”
"I don't know about this, Madame only arrived yesterday, and now I should chat with the head of the regiment to accompany the guests." Uncle Zeng replied with a smile, "Do you want to bring the young head of the regiment over now?" ”
Xiong Chao hesitated, didn't even correct the other party calling himself the young head of the regiment, shook his head and said, "No need, let's wait a while and then go in." ”
Yan Hua and the others also walked up at this time, and they happened to hear the guest in Uncle Zeng's mouth, and their hearts couldn't help but move.
However, he didn't directly ask about the identity of the guest, but asked Xiong Chao, "Xiong Chao, why wait a while?" ”
"That....... That's because ......." Xiong Chao was silent for a moment, and then replied after a while, "My mother is she...... Very special......"
Xiong Chao didn't continue, but Yan Hua and the others had already begun to imagine in their minds what a woman who could marry "Baili Xiongcheng" should look like based on his performance.
"Mother?"
Even Bai Qi couldn't help but mutter, falling into deep thought.
"Chao'er, why are you still here?"
Just when everyone was thinking about it, a gentle female voice suddenly came from the front, and then a gentle woman slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
The person who came was dressed in a lilac dress, tall and slender, with a blue silk hair tied into a bun on the top of his head.
The collar is slightly open, revealing a curvaceous, fair and slender neck, and the delicate and flawless face is not decorated, like a hibiscus out of the water, which makes people can't help but admire.
This is definitely a rare beauty, but what really makes Yan Hua unable to take his eyes off is not the beauty of the other party, but the scarlet eyes of the person who came.
Uncle Zeng saluted at the visitor and shouted respectfully, "Madam! ”
"Ma'am?"
Yan Hua and the others were taken aback, and the speculations in their minds were suddenly shattered.
If you look at it purely from the outside, the woman in front of her is only in her twenties, and no one would have thought that she would be Xiong Chao's mother.
And although this woman's height is not low, she still looks a little slender in front of Xiong's super tall body, let alone compared to Xiong.
"Mother."
However, despite the disparity in size, Xiong Chao still bent down respectfully, and shouted honestly.
"Hmm."
The woman replied softly, her scarlet eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Yan Hua, and said with a smile, "You are Yan Hua, right?" I heard Chao'er mention you, thank you for taking care of him. ”
Yan Hua looked at the woman's eyes, and suddenly felt the hairs on her back stand up, and hurriedly said politely: "Where is it, I should thank Xiong Chao for helping me." ”
The woman seemed to have been accustomed to Yan Hua's reaction, smiled slightly, turned to Xiong Chao and said, "Chao'er, don't stand here, take your friends in." ”
After saying that, the woman turned around and walked towards the valley, Yan Hua and the others couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this, and then followed after glancing at each other.
It was the same way to the parlor, but this time it was noticeably quieter.
The moment he stepped into the living room, Yan Hua saw Xiong Cheng sitting in the hall at a glance, and his expression was much more serious than last time, and his gestures were full of the majesty of his predecessors and eight-star powerhouses.
Of course, the most important thing is the two water glasses that are obviously placed on the table in front of Xiong Cheng.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Yan Hua had cast his eyes on him, Xiong Cheng immediately cleared his throat and said to his wife, "Liuyun, you go down to rest first." ”
"Okay."
Slightly different from Yan Hua's imagination, Xiong Chao's mother turned around and left without saying anything when she heard this, as if she really just went to the door to greet them.
Xiong Cheng watched the back disappear at the door, and immediately changed to the way he had when they met for the first time, and asked with a smile: "Did you come back to say goodbye to me this time?" ”
Yan Hua looked at Xiong Chengdao with a solemn face: "Senior, I actually came this time to tell you an important news. ”
Xiong Cheng's brows furrowed slowly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you have news to tell me?" ”
Yan Hua said with a firm look in his eyes: "That's right, and this news is also related to the adjudication court." ”
"The Adjudicator? Could it be that Ling Feixue's disappearance is still related to the adjudication court? Xiong Cheng showed a surprised expression just right, but a subtle look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Yan Hua shook his head and said with a worried face, "We haven't found Teacher Ling yet, but we met another person on the Wanli Ice Field. ”
"Huh?" Xiong Cheng's heart moved when he heard this, "Have you met Chi Han?" ”
"Thanks to Senior Xiong's guidance that day, we quickly found traces of Teacher Ling and Chi Han's fight after we went to Glacier Valley, and then followed the clues to find Chi Han."
Yan Hua nodded with a straight face and said, "In the short contact with Chi Han, we learned from him that he seems to have some information that is unfavorable to the Adjudication Court, and he is about to take action against the Adjudication Court after leaving the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Field. ”
Xiong Chao looked at Yan Hua with flickering eyes, his face became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then do you know what news Chi Han has?" ”
Yan Hua said with a helpless expression; "We are not Ji Han's opponent, and we couldn't keep him, so that's all we know."
"And what are you going to do?" Xiong Cheng asked with an inquiring look.
Yan Hua was slightly happy in his heart, knowing that the other party had promised to help, so he told his plan.
"The seniors also know that our mission in coming to the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Plain is to find the whereabouts of Teacher Ling, but as a member of the Adjudication Court, I can't sit idly by and watch someone disadvantage the Adjudication Academy, so I want to ask you to spread the news so that Dean Bai and the others can be prepared."
Yan Hua paused and continued, "As for us, we want to borrow the territory of the Xiongcheng Mercenary Group to rest for a few days, and then continue to go deep into the Thousands of Miles of Ice Fields to find people."
Xiong Cheng asked, "Have you already found clues about Ling Feixue?" ”
Yan Hua replied with a sincere face: "According to the information we learned from Chi Han's mouth, it seems that Teacher Ling was thrown deeper into the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Plain by him, and it is still difficult to get there with our strength. ”
As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall, and said as he walked in: "Where is Ling Feixue, just tell me." ”
"Brother Liu! You're finally here! Yan Hua looked at Liu Shixin who walked in from the door, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, stood up and said.
Su Xiaoxiao and others also stood up and expressed their respect to the seventh seat of the adjudication court.
Liu Shixin nodded at Su Xiaoxiao and the others, and bent down slightly at Xiong Cheng, then looked at Yan Hua and said: "The depths of the Thousands of Miles of Ice Fields are not something you can enter casually, just tell me the clues you found about Ling Feixue, and I will find her." ”
"But ......" Yan Hua asked with some hesitation when he heard this, "It's enough to find Teacher Ling and have us, Brother Liu doesn't go after Chi Han, what if he really has any information that is not good for the adjudication court?" ”。
Liu Shixin couldn't help frowning when he heard this, thought about it and replied: "Then that's it, you go out to find Chi Han, and I go to the Wanli Ice Field to rescue Ling Feixue." ”
Yan Hua's heart sank slightly, but there was a tangled look on his face, and after a long while, he said with a solemn expression: "Brother Liu, we will try our best to hold Chi Han back, as for Teacher Ling, please leave it to you." ”
