In the underground space, there were only weak candle lights swaying in the four corners.
Zhang Shaoyao didn't have time to make any response. As soon as he concentrated, he was surprised and said: "You... you..."
A group of children gathered around and looked at her with surprise and curiosity.
Zhang Shaoyao opened her little mouth up and down, not knowing what to say, but she felt such a sense of kindness and familiarity after a long time. The oldest of them must be only six or seven years old. Although they are different in height, they all have yellow and thin faces. My clothes are clean, but I don’t know how many patches they have been layered on.
"Is your father Zhang Zhijing?"
There was a deep voice behind him. Zhang Shaoyao ran a few steps towards the children. Seeing that they were all retreating, he immediately stopped and turned around to look behind him.
In the shadow, only half of the middle-aged man's face was exposed. When he was looking at the girl, the girl also looked up at her.
It was this person who brought him here. The girl looked at his face blurred in the light and shadow, and remembered what the master had just said, and asked in her heart: "Are you really my uncle?"
Seeing the girl subconsciously exposing her back to the children, Zhang Zhiyuan sighed inwardly. In fact, he noticed the girl when she broke into the private school on the ground.
But chaos was happening frequently in the city today, and there was a group of children behind him who were helpless against the guards of the city lord's palace. He couldn't make any mistakes.
In fact, as early as the day Mu Qing came to find him, the children's parents more or less understood something when faced with the collapsed houses destroyed by his sword energy.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought that after this, even if he opened a free private school here, no parents would dare to send their children to him again...
But now the fact is that those parents have not only become more active, but also voluntarily covered his whereabouts, and even became his free informants.
When the wind from the city's power center blows here, they are always willing to tell Mr. Zhang the information they have collected through the children's mouth.
Yes, they started calling him sir now too.
The people living at the bottom have experienced various difficulties, so they do not agree with the superior rules of this city. They are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes. In their eyes, Zhang Zhiyuan used to be a good scholar who could help take care of children. , now gradually became a swimming dragon trapped in the shallows during oral and ear communication, a real master.
If their children are taught by such people, they will definitely be more promising than them.
When people are respected and needed, they will always burst out with more power. This is the case for Zhang Zhiyuan now. He cannot put the group of children behind him in danger just because he helps a person whose identity is not yet certain.
Even if the An Zhi Tinglan brother and sister, who have now become his disciples, encounter the guards of the city lord's palace, they still won't be able to resist.
Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the brother and sister holding hands not far behind the girl. He quickly passed through these things in his mind. He took a few steps forward and walked closer to the slightly brighter light. He said: "Zhang Zhijing is indeed my biological brother. They are both. Who are chasing you?"
"Yeah -" the girl's eyes widened. After all, they were closely related by blood. Even Mu Qing could tell that Zhang Zhiyuan was 50 or 60% similar to her father. The girl had an intuition and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly. Said: "The person who was up there just now was my master. As for the person chasing me, he should be very powerful, but I..."
"You don't know who is chasing you?" Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the girl who lowered her head and asked with a frown.
"Well... I only know that he is very powerful. Master should have gone to lure him away." Zhang Shaoyao blamed herself and was upset. She only knew that Xie Henhe, who was at the second level of cultivation, lost his fighting power in an instant when facing the opponent, but he didn't do it at all. Know more about who is coming.
This is the real disaster...
"I didn't expect that the young lady would also advance to the extraordinary level..." Zhang Zhiyuan felt a little sad when he thought of the power of the sword energy he felt just now. His eyes fell directly on the girl's face and he walked towards her gently step by step.
Zhang Shaoyao lowered her head and remembered the solemn expression on her master's face just now. It wasn't until Zhang Zhiyuan walked up to her that she raised her oval face, a pair of slender eyebrows furrowed, and the eyes in her eyes were crystal clear, and when they flickered, they were silent than loud.
"I'm sorry, your uncle's strength is limited and he can't help much." Under the girl's wary gaze, Zhang Zhiyuan reached out and gently tore off the simple disguise on the girl's face.
At this time, he took two steps back slightly to look again, nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Fortunately, he is not like your father, otherwise he would not have such a beautiful body."
Zhang Shaoyao said seriously with a small face: "Can you help?"
"Hey...if this family had met before, as an uncle, I would have been able to do it even if I couldn't, but today I dare not take advantage of this. There are so many expert auras suddenly appearing in the city. As a first-grade sword cultivator, I am not satisfied."
Zhang Zhiyuan would speak slower and gentler in front of a group of children. Seeing Zhang Shaoyao frowning and wanting to say something else, he waved Xu Anzhi and his brother and sister over, "There may be chaos outside for a few days. Let's save food." There are still some, if you tell everyone not to go back."
"And you... just stay here with uncle for now."
Zhang Zhiyuan originally thought that the girl would get angry and rush back to the ground, but he didn't expect that she puffed out her cheeks and responded seriously, "My brother told me to hide, he will come to me, um...Uncle, you don't mind. Bar?"
"This girl... now I call you uncle." Zhang Zhiyuan smiled inwardly, suddenly realized and confirmed: "Your brother is Mu Qing? The child who grew up with you?"
Zhang Shaoyao's slender eyebrows were furrowed into wickers in the wind and she said nothing.
Suddenly, uncle and niece raised their heads at the same time.
…
…
On the ground, some distance away from the private school, a bungalow suddenly collapsed.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, but the energy had not dissipated. The four walls of the bungalow bloomed in all directions like petals, and in the center of the petals, a female figure stood up hard.
"Who are you?"
In mid-air, Bai Hao looked at the woman on the ground indifferently.
He had almost caught up with the last "little fish" that had escaped, but he suddenly lost his sense of the mark. This woman's skills aren't bad either. Bai Hao had a vague idea of direction in his heart.
The woman didn't know what little magic she had used. Even though she was deliberately attacked by him, she still wore the black gauze cone hat on her head, hiding her face.
She struck the ground with her sword in her right hand and stood up from the ruins. She sighed softly from behind the black veil and said in a cold and melodious voice: "How could I have unworthy descendants like you? Even your grandma can't recognize it." ?"
Bai Hao's pair of thick eyebrows remained motionless, and the coldness in his tiger eyes completely turned into murderous intent, "You have already advanced to the extraordinary level now, why do you still think that this kind of disguise will be effective, even if you cover up the aura of the technique? , but I already know who you are."
"Oh?" Huaifenghua raised her head slightly, revealing her fair and slender chin. She didn't mind chatting with Bai Hao for a while, so that her purpose of rescuing Shaoyao was achieved.
"I originally thought that because your sister and brother-in-law died at my hands, you had lost the courage to challenge me. I didn't expect that today, while others did not wait, they waited for you first, Bai Fenghua."
The black gauze under the curtain was lifted up by one hand, revealing Huaifenghua's pure and beautiful face. At this moment, there was no expression on her face, and she said with the eyes of a dead person: "You are indeed hiding it very deeply. , your cultivation has reached the peak of the mid-transcendent stage, right? But you are far less invincible than you were back then."
"Ha... I didn't expect that breaking through the small spiritual realm would bring you such great courage." Bai Hao's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking whether today's changes would fall on this woman.
Huaifenghua raised her slender eyebrows, and her clear eyes were full of ridicule. In terms of cultivation talent, Bai Hao was far inferior to her, but she didn't expect that this person would be so arrogant after relying on resources to accumulate cultivation realms?
Well, no, he is lying...
Huaifenghua's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, and she sneered: "If it were you before, I'm afraid you would have attacked me long ago, right? You are too afraid of death now."
Bai Hao lowered his eyes slightly and looked condescendingly at the woman on the ground. Perhaps it was because of the chaos in the city that was getting out of control. When facing the woman who was an old friend, he stretched out a few threads and said: "I do I am very afraid of death. Those who are not afraid of death, such as Lin Xiao, such as your sister Bai Xueyu, oh, and your disciples, they are all dead."
Eighteen years ago, recalling the past events of eighteen years ago, Bai Hao felt that it was especially yesterday. He raised the corner of his mouth and sighed: "It's a pity that those women in Wanhua Valley are all excellent cultivation cauldrons. I still have them." He said that after he used it, he would reward those heroes who betrayed your brother-in-law."
Huaifenghua stood in a daze, and could even hear the squeaking sound of her silver teeth interlacing, but the Qi in her body still maintained a perfect flow without any hesitation. She said indifferently: "I said you are an emperor's lackey with mediocre talents. , why did you suddenly achieve your current level of cultivation? It turns out that you were immersed in the evil ways of the outer sect."
"Double cultivation is the best way. Although a woman like you is a bit older, her aura is quite impressive. Do you want to try it?"
For the first time, Bai Hao's square and majestic face showed an evil and arrogant smile, but there was no sense of disobedience. When he finished speaking, Huai Fenghua noticed his intention, and moved his body skills directly to one side. Go away violently.
What surprised Huaifenghua was that Bai Hao failed to hit her and did not chase her again. Instead, he swept away in a certain direction.
"There……"
Huaifenghua's mind changed, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly guessed Bai Hao's intention.
A person who is afraid of death will imagine the most pessimistic and extreme situation. It just so happens that the appearance of Suzaku becomes the straw that makes Bai Hao completely passive.
Knowing that the city lord had appeared today who could really threaten his life, Bai Hao, after some probing words, determined that Huaifenghua was probably relying on her calm face, so he simply did not waste his energy on her, but instead saved up his energy. Focus all your energy on facing Suzaku alone.
Now, it's time to bring your chips.
Does Suzaku just care about this?
Faced with this situation, Huaifenghua pursed her lips when thinking about this joint, her eyes moved slightly, and she was not optimistic.
