"Brother Chu!"
"What's wrong, Brother Chu!?"
Zhu Quan trotted along with Chu Qingxiao, and finally caught up with Chu Qingxiao after some effort.
He was looking forward to this meeting between Chu Qingxiao and Mr. Meng.
The two of them were the people he admired most from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he hoped that this meeting would make the two of them friends and that they could help each other in the future, both on the Mirror Stage and on Chu Qingxiao.
In Zhu Quan's view, this should be a win-win situation.
But Zhu Quan's expectations were quickly dashed.
I thought that Chu Qingxiao and Mr. Meng would hit it off and have a long chat. Zhu Quan even asked people to prepare food and drinks. He thought that after the two of them finished chatting, it would be sunset anyway, so it would be nice to have these ready. The two had a meal together.
But Zhu Quan never expected that Chu Qingxiao only stayed in Mr. Meng's room for a quarter of an hour before he suddenly stood up, walked out of the room, and left in a muffled voice.
This made Zhu Quan confused for a while. After seeing Mr. Meng, he hurriedly caught up with him.
…
Chu Qingxiao naturally heard Zhu Quan's voice behind him.
But he didn't stop immediately, not because he had any dissatisfaction with Zhu Quan.
But his mind was a little confused at this time.
Chu Qingxiao was indeed not satisfied with Mr. Meng, but the differences between the two were far from enough for Chu Qingxiao to leave without saying goodbye in such a hasty and even rude way.
That Mr. Meng.
very scary.
This was Chu Qingxiao's biggest impression of him.
This fear has nothing to do with the other person's cultivation, but the aura revealed in his words.
He seemed to know Chu Qingxiao very well, and he had been controlling the rhythm of their conversation since they met.
And when he said that he wanted to bring down Tianxuan Mountain, Chu Qingxiao's fear of him almost reached its extreme at this moment.
Chu Qingxiao could feel that the other party really seemed to be so sure, and what he said about overthrowing Tianxuan Mountain was more like destroying it than overthrowing it...
He didn't know how he could feel this way.
He was like an evil beast dormant in the shadow of Tianxuan Mountain, silently waiting for an opportunity to tear Tianxuan Mountain into pieces.
Even the so-called asking for orders for the people seems to be just a means to him.
Chu Qingxiao felt that his thoughts were too dirty, and he even judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
That's why he got up and left at that time.
He wanted to clear his thoughts.
Chu Qingxiao finally stopped.
Zhu Quan behind him saw this and hurriedly followed.
"Brother Chu...huhuhu..." Zhu Quan was not around. Even if Chu Qingxiao didn't deliberately speed up the pace, it was still very difficult for him to catch up with Chu Qingxiao.
He followed all the way, already a little out of breath.
"What's going on?" It took him some time to calm down his breathing, and then he looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked anxiously.
Chu Qingxiao looked at Zhu Quan. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Brother Zhu, how much do you know about Mr. Meng?"
Zhu Quan smiled and said: "I know you very well. I have been with Mr. for many years. He is a good man, knowledgeable, strategic, and ambitious..."
"Brother Zhu, I mean putting all this aside, how much do you know about Mr. Meng?" Chu Qingxiao stared at Zhu Quan at this moment and asked word by word.
Zhu Quan was stunned, with a strange look on his face: "Brother Chu, what do you mean by this? Isn't Mr. Meng just Mr. Meng? Apart from these, what else does Brother Chu want me to know?"
"I just heard from Mr. Meng that he invited Brother Chu to join the Mirror Stage, but Brother Chu refused."
"But, Brother Chu, you don't have to worry. Mr. Meng has always been calm in doing things. Everyone has his own ambitions. Although he may feel regretful, he will never make things difficult for you, Brother Chu."
Zhu Quan also thought that Chu Qingxiao was afraid of retaliation because he refused the Mirror Stage, so he left without saying goodbye, so he took the initiative to comfort him at this time.
Chu Qingxiao said: "Brother Zhu, Mr. Meng has great abilities, but first he must be a human being. You have been with Mr. Meng for so many years. Apart from what you said, does Mr. Meng have any preferences, even what he likes to eat? Don’t you know what to eat or what kind of books you like to read?”
Zhu Quan blinked. He really didn't expect Chu Qingxiao's question.
He thought carefully about everything mentioned in Chu Qingxiao's question, and then shook his head: "Mr. Meng is not interested in any of this..."
There was also a trace of doubt in his heart, but such doubt was quickly suppressed by the trust he had developed over a long period of time. He smiled and said: "Although I have been with Mr. Meng for many years, Mr. Meng is with us, either. Teach me how to read, or I am discussing various cases that Spiegel takes over. There is rarely time to talk about personal matters, so I am not so clear about these..."
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his heart sank again.
That Mr. Meng seemed like a person who didn't really exist. From the moment he appeared, everything he did was just to bring down Tianxuan Mountain.
Of course a person can be noble, he can not care about things outside himself, and live only for certain goals.
But everyone has their own likes and dislikes, even if it is just a small preference, it is inevitable after all.
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao finally understood where his strange feelings towards Mr. Meng came from!
That Mr. Meng is so perfect!
So perfect that it almost doesn’t look like a human being!
He is loved by so many people in Tianxuan City, including Zhu Quan, but no one can tell the slightest bit about his origins and preferences!
Chu Qingxiao thought about this, and then looked up at Zhu Quan in front of him.
He did not tell him all the thoughts and conjectures that were rising in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't trust Zhu Quan, but that he knows that Zhu Quan has trusted and admired Mr. Meng for a long time, and he will never change his position because of his words. On the contrary, he may put Zhu Quan in a dilemma.
Chu Qingxiao regarded him as a friend and naturally did not want to embarrass him in this way.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao calmed down and asked: "What did Mr. Meng say to you just after I left?"
When Zhu Quan heard this, his face showed a look of surprise, and he said: "Mr. Meng asked me to bring you a message."
"He said that Mr. Chu didn't understand his decision, which is reasonable."
"But Mr. Chu will soon understand that if Mr. Chu always looks forward and backward, you will lose more than you think."
"Because our enemies are far more cruel than you think!"
…
Chu Qingxiao felt vaguely uneasy thinking about what Zhu Quan had said.
He didn't know whether those words were a reminder or a threat.
He passed the seven-chamber trial and regained his identity.
This is certainly a good thing.
But this also means that Chu Qingxiao is completely exposed to the eyes of all parties. He is destined to become the focus of all parties' dealings. For him, the trouble has just begun.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao had arrived at the door of his courtyard.
Chu Qingxiao raised his head, thinking about pushing the door open and entering, but when he raised his head, he saw a figure standing at the door of the courtyard.
It was none other than Chu Zhaozhao.
Her expression was hesitant and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something, so she didn't notice Chu Qingxiao's arrival.
"Zhaozhao?" Chu Qingxiao tried to call the other party.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he raised his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao as if waking up from a dream.
"Qing...Qingxiao..." she said, her tone a little flustered.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qingxiao asked immediately when he saw her like this.
Chu Zhaozhao looked hesitant. She gritted her teeth, but couldn't explain why for a long time.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and noticed something from Chu Zhaozhao's strange behavior. He asked: "Are you waiting for me?"
Chu Zhaozhao had a look of panic on his face after his thoughts were revealed, but he still nodded through gritted teeth after counting his breaths.
A smile appeared on Chu Qingxiao's face and he said, "Then let's go shopping on the street?"
Chu Zhaozhao nodded after hearing this.
…
Their residence was originally bought by Rui Xiaozhu at a large price, and it was originally located in the busy city of Tianxuan City.
It was noon at this moment, and the streets of Tianxuan City were busy with people coming and going.
"It has been a few months since we came to Tianxuan City, and it seems that we have never taken a good tour of this city, which is known as the most prosperous city in southern Xinjiang." Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the shops on both sides of the street.
After all, they have faced all kinds of troubles since arriving in Tianxuan City, and they have very little leisure time like today.
Chu Zhaozhao next to her was obviously not as leisurely and elegant as Chu Qingxiao. Her brows were still furrowed. After hearing this, she just responded with a somewhat lonely expression: "Prosperity?"
"This prosperous appearance is just a dream that has been accumulated by the blood and sweat of countless people. It may seem amazing at first sight, but the longer you stay, the more hideous it becomes..."
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he looked at Chu Zhaozhao aside with some surprise.
"What happened to Zhao Zhao today?"
"It's not like you would say this."
Chu Zhaozhao responded: "It's just that after staying in Tianxuan City for a long time, I can't help but have some feelings."
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment and felt the difference in Chu Zhaozhao today. She stopped at this moment, looked at Chu Zhaozhao seriously and asked: "Zhaozhao, do you have anything to say to me."
Chu Zhaozhao also stopped. She looked at Chu Qingxiao, gritted her teeth, and finally said what she had been holding in her heart.
"Qingxiao, do you remember what Fan Yuanwu said today?"
"Fan Yuanwu?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned. He thought about it seriously and said helplessly: "Fan Yuanwu said quite a lot during the seven-chamber trial today. Which sentence are you referring to, Zhaozhao?"
"Are you threatening us? Don't be afraid, I can handle it..."
Before Chu Qingxiao finished speaking, Chu Zhaozhao shook his head and interrupted Chu Qingxiao.
At that time, she stared straight at Chu Qingxiao.
"he ask me……"
"Have you ever thought that everything I saw in Wuling City was just a play directed and performed by the ancient gods?"
