Not long after Cheng Qing had handed over the thorn to the Xu Residence, Xu Tianyi, who was feeding it to the fishes in the backyard, received the thorn from the steward.1

Although it had never been able to grow and become a upper-level family, it had always had a great reputation among the middle-level families. The children of the family were proud of it, so walking and sitting in the bedroom was most important to etiquette, and the place where it was displayed was even more scholarly.

As a talented young man of the Xu family, Xu Tianji had long been known as a child prodigy. He had long been famous, and was now one of the pillars of the family.

However, upon receiving Cheng Qing's assassination attempt, Xu Tianji's eyes lit up. "The Sect Master of the An Tian Sect, Cheng Qing, has actually come to the Fengxiang Prefecture and even wants to pay a visit to me?"

Whether it was Chen Qing's combat power or character, he was praised unanimously. Even if there were people who did not like him, they would still befriend him for the sake of reputation.

Xu Tianji was such a person. He admitted that his talent and strategy in cultivation were not inferior to anyone else's. After learning that Cheng Qing, a youth from Fringe City, was praised so highly by Xi Liang, he felt jealous and unwilling to accept this.

But now that he had the chance to meet Cheng Qing, he didn't hesitate and immediately called for him.

"Brother Xu, when you see Cheng Qing, it would be best if you could have some powerful guards around you. Otherwise, your life might be in danger." A man who was feeding fish and drinking wine with Xu Tianji suddenly asked with a serious face and a weird tone.

Xu Tianji looked at his opponent in confusion. This person was also from a noble family, the Zhou family. They had been brothers since they were young, and they came to the mansion yesterday to drink and have fun with him. They still had not returned.

Zhou Lang continued, "Brother Xu, please don't think that I am joking. Cheng Qing came back to the Feng Xiang Manor to kill people, and you are one of his goals. If there are no mishaps, at this moment, Kong Qingzhi has already been killed by him. "

His solemn words caused Xu Tianyi to frown even though he was greatly surprised.

Although the Zhou family was a middle-ranking family, there were some people in the government office who held important positions. It was said that they had a deep relationship with the famous Ning Wang, so their power in the Phoenix House was not ordinary. They could know many secrets that ordinary people did not know.

"I have no grudges with Cheng Qing, why would he want to kill me?"

Even though he really wanted to believe Zhou Sha, but he still felt that what he just said was too unreasonable, "He still wants to charge into my mansion alone to kill me? Wouldn't that make me lose my mind? "

Seeing that Xu Tianji did not believe him, Zhou Lang did not say anything and just smiled, indicating that he was going to wait and see.

The words that he should have passed on had already been passed down. If Xu Tianji was willing to believe, then his life would be assured. If the other party insisted on not believing, then he would do his best to fulfill his friend's responsibility.

Coming back to the Xu Residence, Zhou Lang received a secret order to confirm or overturn something.

Most of the facts had been confirmed when they heard that Cheng Qing had arrived.

However, what made Zhou Lang astonished was that Cheng Qing had actually used the method of directly delivering a famous thorn to visit Xu Tianji in broad daylight.

Actually, Zhou Lang didn't know much. His father had asked him to go over to Xu Tianji's side to see if Cheng Qing would appear, and whether he would kill Xu Tianyi.

However, since it was an order from his father, Zhou Lang was unable to reject it.

He could vaguely sense that there were secrets behind this matter that he was not qualified to know about.

What Zhou Lang did not know was that even his father, as well as the elder who worked in the Department of Public Affairs, did not have the right to know of this secret. They only did things for Ning Wang.

Xu Tianyi entertained Cheng Qing in the Xuan Hall.
