C2144 A Cat and a Dog
"So it is the child beggar that Eldest Lady picked up. Go, go, go. Since he has recovered, he will leave our Zhao Mansion. Do you still want to see Eldest Lady? Do not look at your identities!"
The leader of the guards looked at Ning Qi with disdain. Then, he waved his hand impatiently.
"Let's go."
Ding Feng pulled Ning Qi's arm again. The guards of Zhao Mansion were basically all invited by Head Chief. Head Chief was a cold-hearted person. These guards had the same moral character as him. If he accidentally angered these people in front of him, he was afraid that he would be beaten up. It was a small matter to suffer a serious injury, but he was afraid of killing them. To the Zhao Mansion, killing a few people was nothing!
"What's going on? Didn't they know that Zhao Ruo was going to get married soon? How could they allow any idlers to get close to this place? Hurry up and chase these two away. The young Sect Leader of the Hidden Cloud Sect has come to propose a marriage!"
Suddenly, a beautiful middle-aged woman walked over with a large group of people. When she saw Ning Qi and Ding Feng standing at the entrance of Zhao Ruo's courtyard, she immediately shouted out coldly.
"Second Madame!"
The guards were startled. Immediately after, a cold light flashed across the eyes of the leader of the guards. He waved his hand and a palm struck towards Ning Qi's chest.
Bang.
Crack!
The two sounds rang out almost at the same time, causing the guard to suck in a breath of cold air. He endured the pain and took a few steps back. He looked at Ning Qi in disbelief. His right hand had been broken from the joint! From beginning to end, his opponent did not even make a move!
The beautiful woman called Second Madame jumped in fright and screamed, "Quickly catch him!"
"Second Madame, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Ding Feng explained in a fluster, but the group of guards Second Madame brought over would not listen to his explanation. All of them charged at Ning Qi fiercely. After a few breaths, dozens of guards were lying on the ground, wailing incessantly. Ding Feng stared at Ning Qi with his mouth wide open. His eyes revealed a trace of disbelief. The Qi and blood of these guards were soaring to the sky. The highest cultivation base among them was at the Third Rank Bone Forging stage. How could they not be able to defeat him even if they joined forces?
"What's going on!?"
A loud shout came from afar. Second Madame woke up from her shock. When she heard this voice, it was as if a reinforcement had come. She hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Master, there's an assassin!"
Assassin?
Zhao Zhuo's expression changed slightly. Head Chief, who was following behind him, flew up and landed beside Second Madame. He looked at Ning Qi coldly.
Beside Zhao Zhuo stood a young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a proud expression on his face, and his Qi and blood were incomparably thick. Behind him were two old men. They were squinting their eyes and sizing up Ning Qi.
"Master of Zhao family, why are there assassins here?"
The young man said in a flat tone. A trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Ning Qi with a trace of doubt. Because Ning Qi didn't look like an assassin at all. Which assassin would come to the Zhao family, a major business family in Hundred Mountain City in broad daylight?
"Young Master Hsu Wen, no matter who this man is, he has come to the wrong place today."
Zhao Zhuo said with a smile.
"Head Chief, kill this kid for me!"
Second Madame looked at Head Chief and said sternly.
"Second Madame, don't worry."
Head Chief smiled and looked at Ning Qi with confidence, "Who are you? Did you sneak into our Zhao family for gold and silver?"
Gold and silver?
A nostalgic look flashed across Ning Qi's eyes. It seemed like he had rarely touched these things ever since he left the Qintang Empire. The worst thing was that he had used crystals.
"Head Chief, Second Madame, it's a misunderstanding!"
He saw that even Zhao Zhuo had come, and that person was walking side by side with Zhao Zhuo. It was very likely that this was the young Sect Leader of the Hidden Cloud Sect. Ding Feng's heart was filled with unspeakable suffering. He could only choose to forcefully explain himself, whether the other party would listen to him or not. He had no other choice.1
"Physician Ding? That's great! Our Zhao Mansion has raised you for so long, and you are now joining forces with outsiders to cause trouble in our Zhao Mansion?"
A cold glint flashed across Head Chief's eyes.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This young master was saved by Eldest Lady. He just wanted to express his thanks to Eldest Lady face to face. He is definitely not an assassin!"
Ding Feng explained.
Eldest Lady saved him?
Head Chief's expression changed slightly. He carefully sized up Ning Qi. Sure enough, it was somewhat similar to the appearance he saw that day.
However, Ning Qi was in a sorry state at that time. Now, he looked full of heroic spirit. He even looked much bigger and more powerful than Hsu Wen's young Sect Leader. That was why Head Chief did not recognize Ning Qi immediately.
"Miss Zhao saved you?"
Hsu Wen's eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhao Zhuo.
Zhao Zhuo looked at Ning Qi without batting an eyelid, then smiled at Hsu Wen and said, "Young Master Hsu Wen, my Ruo'er is kind. I heard that when she came back a while ago, she saved a child beggar on the way back, but I have never seen him before. That's why I didn't recognize him. "
"Hmph!"
Hsu Wen snorted coldly and looked at Ning Qi coldly. When he found that Ning Qi's appearance and bearing were both slightly better than his, a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"So it's you. Since my Eldest Lady has saved you, you shouldn't have injured so many guards of my Zhao Mansion. You are returning kindness with ingratitude!"
Head Chief sneered.
When Ding Feng heard this, he thought to himself, It's over.
"Head Chief, don't talk nonsense with him. Kill him!"
Second Madame shouted.
"Yes! Second Madame."
Head Chief smiled and walked towards Ning Qi step by step. Every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground. Seeing this, the guards around revealed a trace of excitement and looked at Ning Qi with a ferocious smile.
"Master of Zhao family, your cultivation base is not bad. It seems that you are already at the sixth level of Bone Forging. You might be able to break through to the Bone Forging Seventh Rank in the future. At that time, you will be able to hold your own in Hundred Mountain City."
Hsu Wen said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Young master Hsu Wen is overpraising me."
Zhao Zhuo smiled, feeling satisfied in his heart. He was a businessman. Rich! In the future, he would also buy a few cultivation techniques and secret manuals, as well as medicinal pills to cultivate his martial arts. However, due to the limitations of his talent, with so many resources, he would only be able to rank in the top ten of the Bone Forging Seventh Rank in the Hundred Mountain City. Head Chief, on the other hand, did not take many medicinal pills, but he had already reached the sixth level of Body Tempering. After he broke through to the Seventh Rank, the Zhao family's strength in the Hundred Mountain City would increase by another level. To a businessman like Zhao Zhuo, this deal was very profitable.
Step by step, Head Chief perfectly revealed his sixth grade Bone Forging cultivation base. His robe was bulging, as if there was a very terrifying force. It condensed within his body, and when he arrived in front of Ning Qi... Apart from Ding Feng, everyone else had a look of anticipation on their faces.
"Zhao family is not a place where any Tom, Dick, and Harry can behave atrociously!"
Head Chief sneered and thrust his palm at Ning Qi.
At this moment, Xiaoli and Zhao Ruo heard the commotion outside and rushed out. When they saw this scene, they were stunned. What had happened? Who was the person Head Chief wanted to hit?
