Chapter 262 Unreasonable Thoughts
Zhao Lao inexplicably felt a sense of crisis. He discovered that this sense of crisis came from Chen Xuan, and he immediately felt a little panicked. Could he be telling the truth?
He gritted his teeth and wanted to retreat.
But it was too late!
The raised arm let out a muffled bang and instantly turned into a mist of blood!
Zhao Jing's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.
She hadn't even seen what happened!
How did Chen Xuan do this? Zhao Lao was a master of internal energy!
Chen Xuan seemed even more powerful than when he was in the Tang family in the Central Plains!
Mo Xiaoxue stood to the side, looking at Chen Xuan with apprehension.
The thought that she had already reached an agreement with Chen Xuan made her instantly feel relieved, and she no longer had any other thoughts.
"Zhao... Zhao... Zhao Lao, your arm..."
Zhao Tianhao was choked with emotion, and his entire body was scared stiff.
"This is a lesson. If you offend again, you will be executed without mercy!"
Chen Xuan coldly dropped this sentence and walked into the hall with Mo Xiaoxue.
Mo Xiaoxue reacted and quickly followed Chen Xuan's footsteps.
Her gaze accidentally fell on Chen Xuan, and a hint of fear appeared in her clear, large glasses.
Zhao Tianhao seemed to realize something and suddenly shouted, "Good one, Chen Xuan, you actually crippled Zhao Lao's arm. You're really tired of living..."
*Slap!*
A big slap landed heavily on Zhao Tianhao's face.
"Sister, why are you hitting me?" Zhao Tianhao turned to look at Zhao Jing and was stunned.
Zhao Jing shouted angrily, "Shut up! If it weren't for you, how could Zhao Lao have offended Mr. Chen? And let me tell you, the Grandmaster Yan from the Tang family was killed by Mr. Chen! If you don't want the Zhao family to be in trouble, apologize to Mr. Chen quickly!"
If Zhao Tianhao wasn't her own brother, she would have wanted to strangle him to death right now.
If Zhao Tianhao hadn't repeatedly troubled Chen Xuan, Zhao Lao wouldn't have lost an arm.
Zhao Lao was a master of internal energy, and losing an arm greatly reduced his strength. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the Zhao family!
"He's so young, how could he have killed Grandmaster Yan?" Zhao Tianhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I saw it with my own eyes, could I be wrong?" Zhao Jing said with a cold face.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Tianhao felt as if his throat had been squeezed, and he couldn't say a word.
Zhao Jing had gone to wish the Tang family a happy birthday, so she naturally saw things he hadn't.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianhao broke out in a cold sweat, his face ashen.
He grabbed Zhao Jing's arm and shouted in fear, "Sister, what should we do? I've caused him so much trouble, he definitely won't let me go."
Hearing this, Zhao Lao's resentment completely disappeared, replaced by powerlessness and despair, as well as deep fear in his eyes.
Up to this point, he still had no idea how his arm was severed!
It was too terrifying!
"We can only see if my close friendship with Yun Xi still has any use."
Zhao Jing sighed.
Whether it was because of Chen Xuan's powerful strength or Zhao Tianhao's repeated violations of Chen Xuan's bottom line, she was a little unsure about their deep friendship.
At first, she always thought she was giving Chen Xuan a break out of consideration for Su Yun Xi.
Now it seemed that it was Chen Xuan who had been giving her Zhao family a break all along, out of consideration for Su Yun Xi.
This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.
In the living room, Su Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, you're back?"
After Chen Xuan left, Su Yun Xi had been worried sick. Now that she saw Chen Xuan return safely, she finally felt relieved.
Seeing Su Yun Xi like a young wife greeting her long-absent husband, Chen Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and nodded with a smile, "It was a close call."
"That's good. You must be tired, go and rest for a while." Su Yun Xi said, pulling Chen Xuan to sit on the sofa.
"Who is this?"
As Su Yun Xi poured Chen Xuan a cup of water, her eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze fell on Mo Xiaoxue, who was mostly blocked by Chen Xuan.
"She's the bodyguard I hired for you. Her name is Mo Xiaoxue," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Su Yun Xi was stunned and looked at Mo Xiaoxue in surprise, "Bodyguard?"
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Don't underestimate her strength. She's definitely stronger than all your bodyguards combined."
Su Yun Xi was skeptical but nodded reluctantly, still unable to associate this exquisitely carved little girl with a martial arts master.
"Greetings, Mistress!" Mo Xiaoxue smiled sweetly.
Seeing Mo Xiaoxue's smile, Chen Xuan frowned.
This girl had been cold to him just now, and now she had instantly changed into a charming little face.
She was too good at ingratiating herself!
Not to mention, Mo Xiaoxue's smile was quite likable, making no one think she was a ferocious half-step internal energy master.
This was good, as it wouldn't attract attention.
"Xiaoxue, hello, my name is Su Yun Xi. I'll find a big room for you later."
Mo Xiaoxue's healing smile immediately bridged the gap between her and Su Yun Xi.
Mo Xiaoxue nodded enthusiastically, "Thank you, Mistress."
Immediately, Su Yun Xi personally took Mo Xiaoxue to choose a room. Mo Xiaoxue chose a sunny room. While she was tidying up in the room, Su Yun Xi came down and sat beside Chen Xuan.
Although Chen Xuan was only one of the main characters in the destruction of the Tang family, he felt that it was too cruel for Su Yun Xi and didn't say anything to her.
Su Yun Xi seemed to understand tacitly and didn't ask further questions. They chatted about recent life trivialities and company matters.
Chen Xuan thought the topic would be changed, but Su Yun Xi said worriedly, "Chen Xuan, although someone took the blame for the destruction of the Tang family this time, with the strength of the Su family in Kyoto, they will soon find out. The Su family in Kyoto will definitely not let this go."
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, "You know about this?"
This matter happened in the Central Plains, thousands of kilometers away from Jiangzhou. How could Su Yun Xi know so clearly?
It seemed that the Su family also had many channels of information.
"My fiancé is going out to do such dangerous things, can I not keep an eye on him?" Su Yun Xi pouted and said crossly.
Chen Xuan showed a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Yun Xi, for making you worry."
Su Yun Xi said, "Then what do we do next?"
"When the soldiers come, we'll block them; when the water comes, we'll dam it," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Su Yun Xi sighed, "We can only do that!"
Not long after, Zhao Jing called Su Yun Xi out. The two best friends got together and talked about something.
After a while, Su Yun Xi walked over, her expression strange as she looked at Chen Xuan, "Did the Zhao family offend you again?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Did Zhao Jing tell you?"
Zhao Jing nodded truthfully and asked doubtfully, "He told me, but I didn't expect my usually proud best friend to apologize to you and ask me to intercede for you."
Chen Xuan understood what was going on.
He looked at Su Yun Xi, "Aren't you angry about this?"
Su Yun Xi smiled and shook her head, "This proves that my fiancé Su Yun Xi is capable. Why should I be angry?"
Chen Xuan felt a little embarrassed by Su Yun Xi's praise.
Su Yun Xi took a deep breath, and her eyes gained a hint of seriousness, "If it's not a big deal, just let it go. Dad said that the Zhao family might become allies with the Su family, so there's no need to push them to the side of the Su family in Kyoto. Besides, the Zhao family is not as simple as it seems."
Chen Xuan hesitated slightly and smiled, "Since Yun Xi has spoken, I will naturally listen."
In the evening, Zhao Jing brought Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Lao to find Chen Xuan.
*Plop!*
Zhao Tianhao knelt before Chen Xuan without a word, kowtowing vigorously, his forehead turning red, and said, "Mr. Chen, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have provoked you. I hope you can forgive me!"
Zhao Lao, the elder who was treated like a god by the Zhao family, now stood before Chen Xuan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, I apologize! I offended you. I know I was wrong this time."
"If you offend me again next time, you will be executed without mercy," Chen Xuan said expressionlessly.
Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Lao trembled and nodded desperately, "We understand!"
Seeing this, Zhao Jing was relieved!
Fortunately, her friendship with her best friend still had some effect.
"Chen Xuan, don't worry, this won't happen again," Zhao Jing said quickly.
Chen Xuan nodded.
Zhao Jing was about to leave with Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Lao, but Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he said, "Zhao Jing, I have something to tell you."
Zhao Jing's whole body stiffened, and her face turned stiff as she nodded and said to Zhao Tianhao, "You guys go out first."
After Zhao Tianhao and Zhao Lao left, Zhao Jing looked at Chen Xuan, her expression a little unnatural.
Finally, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, "Chen Xuan, don't go too far. I'm Yun Xi's best friend! If you have any improper thoughts about me, I will tell Yun Xi!"
