Chapter 200
Xiao Zhan nodded, "It's really just a guess."
"But what if it really happens?"
Shen Liangcheng took a sip of tea and chuckled: "What does it have to do with my Shen family?"
"I just said," Xiao Zhan repeated: "Qingtian Sect's development strategy is to unify the Lingnan region first."
"The Shen family is naturally among their targets."
Shen Liangcheng's eyes were sharp, "Qingtian Sect and my Shen family are allies."
"In the face of interests, what are allies?" Xiao Zhan said expressionlessly: "The Famous Sword Sect and the Huanjian Sect are from the same origin, but when they attacked the Huanjian Sect, I didn't see any signs of the Mingjian Sect. Hesitant."
"Senior Shen, it is never wrong to plan ahead. You must understand such a simple truth better than I do."
After hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Shen Liangchen thought for a moment and asked:
"How do you know Qingtian Sect's development strategy?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Shen Liangchen did not hesitate on this issue and nodded: "Go on."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"In order not to follow in the footsteps of the Famous Sword Sect, or in other words, in order to be able to resist the attacks of the Qingtian Sect and other forces like the Fantasy Sword Sect, the Shen family needs to do something."
Shen Liangchen looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes, nodded and said, "Tell me what the Shen family needs to do."
Xiao Zhan looked serious and said:
"Stop the alliance with the Qingtian Sect, and at the same time, form an alliance with forces like the Lingbei Hua Family."
"The Qingtian Sect wants to be the overlord, but a weaker force like the Shen family can only stick together for warmth."
Shen Liangcheng was not angry when he heard Xiao Zhan say that the Shen family was slightly inferior to the Qingtian Sect. After all, this was the truth.
He just asked:
"Do you think we can resist the Qingtian Sect if we stick together?"
"You must know that without a strong person in the God Emperor realm, he will never be able to compete with a force like Qingtian Sect."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "My master is a powerful person in the God Emperor realm."
Hearing this, Shen Liangcheng showed a serious look on his face.
He turned to ask:
"You take this so seriously."
"Do you have a grudge against the Qingtian Sect, or does your master have a grudge against the Qingtian Sect?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I just don't want forces like Qingtian Sect to get stronger and stronger."
"As for the reason, please understand Senior Shen, I can't say."
Shen Liangcheng put down his tea cup, not intending to continue this topic, but asked:
"Whether it was you or your master who saved Yutong, I owe you a favor."
"what do you want?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Fairy Luo Yan and Miss Yutong and I are friends. Saving her is a help between friends, not in exchange for any benefits."
Shen Liangcheng nodded, stood up and said:
"Next, you should go to Lingnan Flower House, right?"
Xiao Zhan did not deny it, but he just didn't know what Shen Liangcheng was going to say.
Shen Liangchen's eyes suddenly became extremely deep:
"I have considered everything you said."
"It just confirmed some of my guesses from you."
"Do you still want to say that in the future, with your strength, you can also ally with my Shen family? Together we can resist superpowers like the Qingtian Sect?"
Xiao Zhan nodded again:
"Yes."
"Maybe one day in the future, the Shen family and I will become an alliance."
Shen Liangcheng walked towards the outside of the courtyard. As he walked, he said slowly: "Then I'll wait and see how strong your power can be."
"Also, what I just said still stands. I, the Shen family, owe you a favor."
"Effective at all times."
After saying that, Shen Liangcheng left in the air.
Xiao Zhan sat on the bamboo chair and drank a pot of tea before walking to the fish pond and started to breathe in lotus position.
Shen Liangcheng's guess was indeed correct. Xiao Zhan planned to go to Lingbei Hua's house next.
Xiao Zhan had never thought about finding allies for Yanlong City before.
But the power of Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect still made Xiao Zhan uneasy.
Although these superpowers are not currently focusing on Huangzhou, it does not mean that they will not target Huangzhou again in the future.
What Xiao Zhan has to do is to suppress the strength of these superpowers as much as possible before Yanlong City completely grows.
Xiao Zhan actually doesn't like planning these things.
But he had no reason to refuse to do these things.
Countless martyrs in Huangzhou made huge sacrifices in order to leave hope for Huangzhou.
It is impossible for Xiao Zhan to give up on revitalizing Huangzhou.
Let’s be more realistic.
Xiao Zhan was not only laying out plans to protect Huangzhou, he was also thinking of ways to protect Yanlong City, Yanlong Kingdom, and his own family and brothers.
Early the next morning.
Shen Luoyan and Shen Yutong came to find Xiao Zhan.
The two sisters didn't know that Xiao Zhan had already talked with their father.
Therefore, when Xiao Zhan said he was leaving, both of them were surprised.
"Your father already talked to me yesterday," Xiao Zhan said to Shen Luoyan and Shen Yutong with a smile:
"I have other things to do, so I won't waste time."
Shen Luoyan nodded, "Then we'll give it to you."
Xiao Zhan did not refuse and walked out of the bamboo forest while chatting with the two.
The Shen family is hundreds of miles away.
Xiao Zhan whistled.
Xiao Fei immediately swooped down from high altitude, and then flew towards Qingfengling with Xiao Zhan.
Valley of Flowers.
After Hua Mulan returned from Huangzhou, she had been practicing in seclusion at her residence.
Hua Qianren was wandering outside the wooden building, with something on his mind as if on his brows.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was movement upstairs.
Hua Qianren looked at the second floor window and asked with a smile:
"Mu Lan, the sun is very nice today. Would you like to go shopping with your mother?"
Hua Mulan's voice with a hint of resentment came from upstairs:
"Hua Qianren, let me tell you, I haven't forgiven you yet!"
Hua Qianren looked complicated:
"Mu Lan, you know dad is not the kind of ungrateful person."
"I attacked that young man just to save you. Besides, I didn't hurt him."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, just repay that young man well."
Having said this, Hua Qianren asked:
"Mu Lan, I have asked you several times, and your grandfather is also asking, how did that young man help you detoxify?"
"You must at least tell me what the young man's name is, right?"
"Otherwise, how can our Hua family repay him?"
Hua Mulan pushed open the window and said angrily:
"Do you think saving me is repayment from the Tuhua family?"
"I have said several times not to mention this matter again and not to ask him about his identity again."
Hua Qianren sighed and said, "Mu Lan, dad has been through this before and knows that you are interested in that young man."
"Dad also approves of that young man. If you are willing, dad will send someone to find him to see if he can be married into our Hua family."
Hua Mulan suddenly had red eyes and said:
"Dad, I told you! Don't ask about him again!"
"They already have a family."
Hearing this, Hua Qianren had no choice but to shut up, nodded and said:
"Then Mulan, please pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Don't stay bored in the house all day."
"Dad goes to work first."
Hua Mulan said nothing and closed the window.
But just when Hua Qianren was about to leave, a disciple of the Hua family ran over and said respectfully:
"Young Master, a young man came from Taniguchi. He said he was a friend of Miss Mulan."
The window on the second floor was pushed open, and Hua Mulan's face was full of confusion:
"My friend? What does he look like? Is he a boy or a girl?"
The young man raised his head and said:
"Miss Mulan, the person who came here looks to be in his twenties, and he is a high-ranking young man."
"But he didn't say his name."
Hua Qianren smiled and waved to Hua Mulan: "Mu Lan, come down quickly, dad will go with you to see."
Hua Mulan did not refuse this time. After coming down from the stairs, she rushed to the entrance of the valley as fast as possible, with no intention of going with Hua Qianren.
Hua Qianren smiled helplessly and followed him leisurely.
Taniguchi.
Hua Mulan was also stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Zhan.
Although Xiao Zhan changed his mask, she still recognized Xiao Zhan's eyes.
"is it you?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, looked at Hua Qianren behind Hua Mulan, and clasped his fists with a smile:
"Senior Hua."
Hua Qianren frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Zhan, and nodded with a smile:
"Young friend is my daughter's friend?"
Obviously, Hua Qianren did not recognize that Xiao Zhan was the person he had chased in the Qingfeng Beast Realm.
"Dad, you go and do your work first," Hua Mulan looked at Hua Qianren and said:
"he is my friend."
Hua Qianren wanted to ask about Xiao Zhan's identity, but when he saw the look in his daughter's eyes, he could only nod his head angrily, then turned and left.
As Hua Mulan led Xiao Zhan through the flowers and towards her residence, she lowered her voice and said:
"Do you still hate my dad?"
"The reason why he attacked you was to save me."
"I can understand," Xiao Zhan nodded, "I won't talk about this anymore."
Hua Mulan said "Oh", suppressed the joy in her heart, and asked curiously:
"Why did you remember to come see me?"
Seeing Hua Mulan's face turn red, Xiao Zhan shook his head and smiled:
"I'm not here to see you, I'm here to visit your grandpa."
"Ah...ah?" Hua Mulan's eyes flashed with disappointment:
"Then you go to my place and sit for a while. I'll go find my grandpa soon."
Xiao Zhan nodded and followed Hua Mulan into her wooden building.
Hua Mulan hurriedly made tea for Xiao Zhan and brought fresh fruits. She was obviously not good at doing these things, but she was very busy.
Xiao Zhan was a little amused and said, "Okay, you are a young lady, you don't have to do this, I'm not thirsty either."
"Ah?" Hua Mulan looked at the freshly brewed tea, "Then I'll pour the tea."
Xiao Zhan was a little speechless, "You've already soaked it, why did you pour it out?"
"Thank you," Xiao Zhan nodded, "You go find your grandpa. If he is in retreat, it's okay for me to wait a little longer."
Hua Mulan said 'hmm' and then ran out of the wooden building.
In the main hall in the middle of the sea of flowers.
Hua Hongchen, the head of the Hua family, Hua Qianren, and a group of elders from the Hua family are discussing something.
Seeing Hua Mulan running in, Hua Qianren frowned and asked:
"Mulan, aren't you accompanying your friend? Why are you here?"
Hua Hongchen also said with some displeasure:
"Mu Lan, grandpa is discussing important matters with the elders. Why are you barging in as frivolously as before?"
Hua Mulan bowed her hands to a group of elders and apologized, then looked at Hua Hongchen and said:
"Grandpa, my friend wants to see you."
A hint of indifference flashed in Hua Hongchen's old eyes:
"Your friend, why are you meeting me?"
Hua Mulan was suddenly speechless.
"Grandpa, he is my friend. He came to visit you specially. There must be something important. You should go and see him."
Seeing her father's unhappy expression, Hua Qianren quickly said to Hua Mulan:
"Mulan, why don't you go back first, and in an hour, you can bring your friend to the main hall."
Hua Mulan had no choice but to nod and ran out of the hall again.
Hua Hongchen looked at Hua Qianren and said softly:
"The poison in Mulan's body has been detoxified. You have to supervise her to practice."
"Her talent cannot be wasted!"
"Don't let some idle people take up her time all day long."
Hua Qianren nodded, "I understand, father."
As for Hua Mulan's residence, Xiao Zhan saw Hua Mulan walking back a little disappointed and asked with a smile:
"Is it because your grandfather doesn't want to see me?"
"No," Hua Mulan said with an awkward smile on her face, "They are discussing important matters. I will take you to see my grandfather in an hour."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that Hua Mulan was a little distracted, Xiao Zhan slowly asked:
"I have never asked you, how did you get the poison in your body in the first place?"
Hearing Xiao Zhan ask about this matter, Hua Mulan fell into short memories and said truthfully:
"I was poisoned in Qingfengling."
"At that time, I and several other companions went to Qingfengling to look for animal pets, and we found a colorful long-haired rabbit on the way."
"In order to catch it, we entered the Qingfeng Beast Realm."
"Then we got lost."
Thinking of what happened back then, Hua Mulan was still frightened and her face turned pale:
"Then we encountered a very ugly beast."
"On the way to escape, we hid in a cave."
"But we didn't expect that there was a skeleton in the cave."
"We didn't touch the skeleton, but when we wanted to leave, we found out we were poisoned."
Speaking of this, Hua Mulan said sadly:
"After that, we kept looking for a way out, and it took us more than ten days to escape to the edge of the Qingfeng Beast Realm."
"But my companions couldn't hold on and died on the road."
"I was the only one who survived."
