Chapter Twenty-Five: Return to White Cloud City
Beauty is like jade, leading to reverie.
......
It took a few more days for Xiao Chen and Su Qing to leave before returning to Baiyun City, and the two of them hurried after leaving the mountain forest. Of course, all the way was Xiao Tian carrying Su Qingli away, and Xiao Chen was riding the wind to hurry.
Before entering the city, Su Qingli had already put the veil back on, and the two separated after entering the city.
Su Qing left to go to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.
Xiao Chen was preparing to return to Xiao's house.
But as soon as he entered the city, Xiao Chen felt that someone was following him.
I don't know if it's the Great Elder's person or the Li family's person, Xiao Chen thought to himself, or is it the Ouyang family's eyeliner?
It seems that there are too many enemies along the way.
That person was just following him, and he didn't stop Xiao Chen, since he wanted to follow, Xiao Chen didn't care about him.
Back at Xiao's house, Xiao Chen went to Ouyang Jingxue's residence first, and he definitely had to report to his mother first.
However, when he went to his mother's yard, he did not see his mother, not even Huan'er. After waiting for a while, he still didn't see his mother come back, so Xiao Chen went back to his residence.
The yard is clean, and as soon as you enter the house, the inside of the house is also cleaned, presumably her mother comes here from time to time to clean it, Xiao Chen said in his heart.
In the past few days, Xiao Chen was a little tired, and after a simple freshening up, he fell asleep on the bed.
It was just after noon when Xiao Chen returned to his residence, and he didn't wake up until late in the evening.
When he woke up, he went to his mother's again, but there was still no sign of her.
Only then did he think about whether his mother had gone to the City Lord's Mansion, after all, he had asked Chu Lingqiu to accompany his mother at that time.
Originally, he didn't want to go to the City Lord's Mansion at such a late hour, but he was worried about whether his mother was really there, so Xiao Chen still decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen got up and went.
After leaving Xiao's house, he noticed that someone was following him again, and this time he decided to explore the reality of this person, after all, he was followed as soon as he went out, which was very unpleasant.
When night falls, the night of Baiyun City is very prosperous, the small stalls and vendors have already been set up, and the major restaurants and inns are also brightly lit.
Xiao Chen walked unhurriedly, he chose a bustling street.
This was the first time he had really gone shopping since arriving in the Shenwu Continent, and he sometimes stayed at some snack stalls, tasting the delicious snacks of this otherworld, and sometimes staying at some strange jewelry stalls...... Anyway, it's like a person who goes out to hang out.
After two more streets, the area is not as prosperous as before, and there are a lot fewer pedestrians.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Chen's face changed slightly, and he covered his stomach with one hand, it seemed that he had eaten too many miscellaneous snacks just now, and his stomach was uncomfortable.
looked around a little anxiously, only to see Xiao Chen running into an alley with black lights and blinding fire holding his stomach.
In fact, he is not a bad stomach, this trick is to lure the snake out of the hole.
Although his acting skills were very poor, and his painful look was only three or four points like, the people who followed him still followed.
Entering the dark alley, Xiao Chen's spiritual sense has been locking on the secret stalker, it seems that this guy is a novice, and he didn't notice that Xiao Chen had discovered him.
Xiao Chen gestured to relieve his hand, a slight cold snort wafted in the air, he knew that the other party had relaxed his vigilance, stepped on the wind step, and his figure flashed directly in front of the person, and the Weaving Flame Devouring War Halberd was on the person's shoulder.
"I ask a question, I answer a question, I don't want to hear words that have nothing to do with the answer, life or death, you choose. Whose person are you?" Xiao Chen asked coldly, Weaving Flame Devouring the Sky exuding a hot energy.
"Big ...... Big...... Great Elder. ”
"Are you a disciple of the Xiao family?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"Yes...... Yes. ”
"Let's go. "This result is similar to what Xiao Chen guessed, he is just a stalker, there is no need to kill the killer, and he is also in the Martial King Realm now, and he is not afraid of the Great Elder.
"Thank you...... Thanks, Brother Xiao Chen. ”
After the Xiao family disciple left, Xiao Chen disappeared into the night.
Just after Xiao Chen left for a while, another figure appeared in the alley just now, and this person also disappeared into the night after pondering for a while.
After speeding up, Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Now he can go in without informing, and the guards are very polite to this future county master.
Although he said that he could enter the City Lord's Mansion freely, the purpose of this trip was to see if his mother was here, so he asked the guards just now.
This made Xiao Chen guess correctly again, Ouyang Jingxue was indeed here.
After entering, Xiao Chen grabbed a subordinate from the City Lord's Mansion to lead the way.
"Miss, Xiao Gongzi is here. Then the man gave a notice and withdrew.
"Chen'er, Chen'er, are you back?" Ouyang Jingxue was originally chatting with Su Qingli in the house, but when she heard that Xiao Gongzi was coming, she thought about whether her son was coming, these days she is not only worried about the safety of her daughter, but also about the safety of her son who went to rescue her, and she knows the danger of the Misty Swamp.
"Squeak......" The door opened, and I saw my mother's anxious face first.
Xiao Chen stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Mother, it's me." ”
Ouyang Jingxue pulled her son, her eyes skimmed behind her son again, and she didn't see her daughter's figure, so she asked, "Han'er, she?"
"My sister is fine, and my grandfather is fine. Xiao Chen said.
Hearing that her daughter and her father were fine, Ouyang Jingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled Xiao Chen into the house.
"Ling'er. Only then did he see Chu Lingqiu behind his mother, and Xiao Chen smiled at her.
"Childe. Chu Lingqiu also smiled at him.
Greeting softly, looking at each other with a smile, both of them seemed to understand each other's hearts.
After sitting down, Xiao Chen briefly told his mother about what happened to him on this trip, but he skipped Li Jin and Ouyang Baihong's pursuit, and at the same time, he didn't say that Su Qingli, who went to the misty swamp with him.
Even the whole story is a one-sided summary of it.
When she heard that Ouyang Jingcheng had become the head of the family and poisoned her father, Ouyang Jingxue said angrily: "I didn't expect that after all these years, my eldest brother would become such a person." She got acquainted with Xiao Zhan at the age of seventeen, and has been living in the Xiao family since then, but she didn't expect that more than 20 years would change the eldest brother who once loved her.
The fact is already like this, Ouyang Jingxue doesn't want to think about it anymore.
"Mother, don't be sad. "Xiao Chen actually has no memory of anyone in the Ouyang family, and even said that it was his grandfather Ouyang Mu. Of course, part of the reason is that he lost part of his memory in the fusion with Xiao Chen's body.
"Mother is fine, did you say Han'er went to her master?" Ouyang Jingxue also changed the topic.
"Well, there are still some residual toxins in my grandfather's body, which need to be healed by the little sister master. Xiao Chen explained.
