"Wan'er!"
Seeing Qin Wan'er collapse to the ground, enraged by Zhou Xuan.
Zhuge Qing'er, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help herself.
She quickly stepped forward and helped Qin Wan'er up from the ground.
"That's right!"
"Weren't you the one who caused trouble at my pharmacy with her last time!"
"Since you know her, you must also be from Shangjing City!"
"In that case, you must also take a Soul Devouring Pill!"
Zhou Xuan suddenly realized, looking at Zhuge Qing'er who was supporting Qin Wan'er.
He waved his hand, preparing to retrieve another Soul Devouring Pill from his spatial ring to offer to Zhuge Qing'er.
This Soul Devouring Pill was something he had refined previously when helping Yuan Qingshan refine pills.
He had specifically made it to deal with special situations later.
Now that Qin Wan'er had taken the Soul Devouring Pill, Zhuge Qing'er, being with her, naturally had to take one as well.
Otherwise, if she returned to Shangjing City and reported to the Qin family, wouldn't Qin Wan'er's ingestion of the Soul Devouring Pill be in vain?
"I have to take one too?"
"Why?"
"I don't recall offending you, do I!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhuge Qing'er's brows furrowed.
She hadn't expected that by simply stepping forward to check on her best friend, she would now be dragged into the mess.
She had heard everything Zhou Xuan had said to Qin Wan'er just now.
After taking the Soul Devouring Pill, it essentially meant that she would be under Zhou Xuan's control for the rest of her life.
Qin Wan'er's situation was her own doing, and there was nothing that could be done.
However, Zhuge Qing'er had done nothing.
She was naturally unwilling to accompany Qin Wan'er in taking such a Soul Devouring Pill!
"You haven't offended me!"
"But you are both from Shangjing City!"
"If you go back and report to the Qin family!"
"Wouldn't all my preparations be wasted?"
"Therefore, for my own safety!"
"Although I apologize, you must take the Soul Devouring Pill!"
"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here today!"
"You..."
Looking at Zhou Xuan's cold expression, Zhuge Qing'er felt a surge of anger.
She finally understood how Qin Wan'er had felt earlier.
Zhou Xuan's personality was as stubborn and unpleasant as a rock in a latrine!
"Fine, I'll take it!"
Seeing that Zhou Xuan would not let her go if she didn't take the Soul Devouring Pill.
Although Zhuge Qing'er was extremely indignant, she had no other options.
Who was to blame when Zhou Xuan was the strongest person here!
An arm couldn't twist a thigh; what good was defiance!
"Wait!"
"Young friend, listen to me!"
Just as Zhuge Qing'er picked up the Soul Devouring Pill from Zhou Xuan's hand, ready to swallow it.
An aged voice slowly echoed in everyone's ears.
Hearing this voice, which contained a powerful surge of true qi, Zhou Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Because at the same time this voice sounded, Zhou Xuan's Innate Dao Body immediately sensed the cultivation level of the other party.
The owner of this unknown voice was actually at the same level as Zhou Xuan!
"May I ask which senior is hidden here!"
"Could you please come out and let this junior have a look!"
Sensing the other party's cultivation level, Zhou Xuan dared not be careless.
He immediately looked up, turned around, and clasped his fists towards the rooftop behind him.
Because his Innate Dao Body had already sensed that the other party was standing on the rooftop!
"Sigh!"
"This junior's address of 'senior' is undeserved!"
"In the cultivation world, the most knowledgeable is the teacher!"
"Young friend, at such a young age, to have reached such a level!"
"Your future achievements will surely surpass mine!"
"Therefore, let us interact as equals!"
Indeed, upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, above the rooftop behind him.
An old man in a black robe suddenly appeared out of thin air.
With just one leap, the old man landed steadily on the ground from the rooftop.
Looking at the old man who appeared out of nowhere.
Zhou Xuan felt a sense of familiarity from the old man.
But for a moment, he couldn't figure out the source of this familiarity.
"This old gentleman's concealment technique is truly superb!"
"If you hadn't spoken and revealed your presence!"
"I probably wouldn't have noticed that such a master was hidden here!"
"What?"
"Are you not sparing any effort to reveal yourself just to stop me from giving this young lady the medicine!"
"Is she your relative?"
Unable to figure out the source of that familiar feeling, Zhou Xuan.
He immediately decided not to dwell on it.
Instead, he directly inquired about the old man's intentions.
At the same time, he had quietly begun circulating true qi in his left hand.
This was in case the old man suddenly made a move, allowing him some time to react.
After all, the person standing opposite him now had the same cultivation level as him.
Zhou Xuan could not afford to be careless!
"Young friend has guessed correctly!"
"My name is Zhuge Qingfeng!"
"And I am an uncle to the young lady in front of you!"
"My abrupt appearance this time is only to request that you spare my niece!"
"After all, she truly has not offended you!"
"Of course, I will not let you suffer any loss!"
"I can tell you some clues about the tragedy that befell the Zhou family ten years ago!"
"At the same time, I can have my niece swear!"
"That if she returns to Shangjing City in the future, she will not tell anyone about today's events!"
"Do you find this satisfactory, young friend?"
The old man named Zhuge Qingfeng, with a light smile, glanced at Zhou Xuan's subtle movement in his left hand.
He did not expose it.
Instead, he spoke to Zhou Xuan in a friendly manner, negotiating.
Hoping to persuade Zhou Xuan to let his niece, Zhuge Qing'er, go.
"Clues about the tragedy that befell the Zhou family ten years ago?"
"What clues?"
"Tell me about it!"
"If it can satisfy me!"
"Letting this young girl go is not impossible!"
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be here for a fight, Zhou Xuan's slightly tense expression relaxed a little.
Then he directly asked about what clues the other party was referring to.
"Rest assured, this clue of mine!"
"I believe young friend will be very interested!"
"Young friend should know that although your Zhou family suffered a tragedy back then!"
"Afterward, everyone who rushed to your Zhou family to try and gain something!"
"Did not find any Zhou family member's corpse in the ruins of your Zhou family!"
"Isn't this situation strange to you?"
"You!"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the black-robed old man's hint, Zhou Xuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
In an instant, Zhou Xuan's pupils widened!
In his eyes, a glimmer of hope could still be seen!
"What I mean is!"
"Your Zhou family members might not have all been killed!"
"They might actually not be dead..."
