C619 So It's like This
Just like what Xiao Chuxuan told Zi Tianhao, three days later ... The Xiao Family announced the news of Xiao Chuxuan's engagement with Zi Tianhao to the entire Magic Martial Realm. Furthermore... They would also hold a Marriage Snatching Convention in a month's time, giving Martial King, who was not older than forty years old, a chance to challenge Zi Tianhao. The chance to replace Zi Tianhao and become the son-in-law of the Xiao Family. Once this news spread, it would naturally set off a huge uproar in the Magic Martial Realm. It caused all the qualified Martial King to clench his fists. Of course. One of them was Martial King from the Xiao Family.
And the one who was the most unhappy about this news was naturally Xiao Chuxiong. This was because he knew that if this news was spread, then the engagement between Zi Tianhao and his sister would be... It was almost certain, but he didn't want Zi Tianhao to become his brother-in-law. Thus, he naturally had to find a way to break this engagement.
At this moment, in the hall where Xiao Chuxiong usually dealt with the official affairs of Xiao Family... A fierce-looking figure with a big belly walked in. If Zi Tianhao was present, he would recognize this man. This man was the one who had interacted with him before. He was the one who almost attacked Xu Zhu, Martial King.
"Young Lord, do you have any orders for me?" Xu Zhu walked to Xiao Chuxiong, who was sitting behind the table, and said while cupping his hands.
"Please take a seat, Martial King!" Xiao Chuxiong immediately said.
After that, Xu Zhu also sat down on a chair at the side. The fat all over his body almost burst the seat.
"I invited Martial King to come here because I want to ask you something." Xiao Chuxiong said.
"Oh, what is it?" Xu Zhu was puzzled.
"I heard that Xu Martial King and Martial Emperor Bai had a quarrel before. Is that true?" Xiao Chuxiong asked.
"Tsk, that kid. I will not lower myself to his level!" When Xu Zhu heard this, he immediately snorted and said.
"Is that so? But as far as I know, Martial Emperor Bai often flaunted this matter to others. He said that you are as timid as a mouse and that you are just using the power of a tiger to bully others. You don't even dare to move a finger of a newbie like him. " Xiao Chuxiong immediately took the opportunity to frame him.
"Did he really say that? I can break his neck with one hand." Xu Zhu immediately widened his eyes in anger.
"This Martial Emperor Bai is relying on my father's support. He has been lawless ever since he entered the Xiao Family. Arrogant! Arrogant! I can't bear to watch this any longer! However, because of my father's face, I can only turn a blind eye to it. " Xiao Chuxiong said helplessly.
"Young Lord, since you don't like that kid either, then you can't help but let me help Young Lord relieve his worries and teach that kid a good lesson." Xu Zhu took the opportunity to say.
"This isn't good. After all, you are Martial King's colleagues. If you start a fight, I'm afraid it won't be good. Besides, my father will definitely intervene..." Xiao Chuxiong shook his head and said.
"We can't let that kid continue to be arrogant. We have to teach him a lesson." Xu Zhu said hatefully.
"Actually, if we want to teach him a lesson, we don't need to let him do it himself." Xiao Chuxiong reminded.
"I wonder what advice does Young Lord have?" Xu Zhu immediately understood what Xiao Chuxiong meant.
"I heard that there is a room in the courtyard where Martial Emperor Bai lives. My sister often goes there. If that room is suddenly on fire, who do you think is the most suspicious?" Xiao Chuxiong asked.
"Of course it is in that courtyard." Xu Zhu said in a daze, "But, isn't the young lady going to have an engagement with that kid soon? I don't think the young lady will doubt that kid..."
"My elder sister's engagement with that fellow was entirely my father's intention. My sister was also quite unwilling in her heart. Perhaps after the matter is settled, my sister can use this excuse to reject the engagement. Even if she doesn't reject it, that brat will have no chance at all. Even if that Xu Martial King has done a great deed, perhaps my sister will be very grateful to you... " Xiao Chuxiong urged.
"Young Lord is wise. I know what to do now. Then I'll take my leave. " Xu Zhu's face immediately lit up with joy. He immediately cupped his hands towards Xiao Chuxiong and left in a hurry.
Xiao Chuxiong looked at Xu Zhu's back as he left and revealed a sinister smile.
Late at night, in the silent Xiao Family, a black shadow sneaked into Zi Tianhao's courtyard. He quickly entered Xiao Chuxuan's alchemy room. After that... He sprinkled a bag of black gunpowder that he brought with him into the alchemy room. After that, he lit the fire piston and threw it on the black gunpowder that was scattered all over the floor. Suddenly, a burst of dazzling sparks lit up and with a bang, the fire rushed up and the entire Alchemy House was instantly lit up. It was swallowed by the fire snake in an instant and the black shadow also disappeared along with it.
After the alchemy room was set on fire, Chen Qi and Lin Han were immediately alarmed. When the two of them came out of the room, they saw that the alchemy room had already been set on fire. Their expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly went to the north room to call Zi Tianhao.
Zi Tianhao, who was cultivating the Beast Transformation Art in the system, heard the system's alarm and immediately exited the system. After opening the door, he saw flames burning outside the room.
"What happened?" Zi Tianhao immediately asked.
"The small room is on fire." Chen Qi hurriedly replied.
"What?" Zi Tianhao's expression changed when he heard that, because he knew that Xiao Chuxuan had always been secretly refining some kind of medicinal pill that could cure her illness. Furthermore, it seemed that it was not completed yet. Hence, if the medicinal refining room was on fire... The medicinal pill that was currently being refined would probably be finished too.
However, this was also the first time Zi Tianhao rushed out of the Northern House. The ice aura around his entire body swelled and his hands rose into the air. Instantly, a wild and violent ice energy rushed out and surged towards the alchemy house that was extremely close to being engulfed by the fire.
After a moment, the fire was finally extinguished. However, the alchemy house had already been burned to ruins. The alchemy furnace in the room had also been completely deformed by the fire. It was estimated that the medicinal pills inside were also not in good shape.2
Not long after, Xu Zhu brought a group of Xiao Family disciples and rushed into the courtyard.
"Martial Emperor Bai, what's going on?! Why is your courtyard on fire?" Xu Zhu looked at the ruined alchemy house and his eyes flashed with a trace of success. After that, he turned to Zi Tianhao and asked with a glare.
"When I come out, this room has already been set on fire. But, Xu Martial King came so quickly. My house shouldn't have been on fire for long, right?" Of course, Zi Tianhao did not think that it would be an accident if the alchemy room suddenly started on fire. He looked at Xu Zhu's expression that could not be concealed. He knew that it was most likely because Xu Zhu wanted to take revenge on the good deeds he had done. However... He knew that the most troublesome person wasn't Xu Zhu.
"I'm the one leading the team on patrol tonight. I happened to pass by just now, and I saw flames rising from your place. That's why I came here." Xu Zhu immediately explained.
"Is that so? It must have been hard on Martial King. However, it was just a room that was on fire. There was nothing to be alarmed about. Xu Martial King did not need to delay any longer. Let's continue patrolling! " Zi Tianhao smiled and gave the order to leave.
"That won't do. This courtyard is the old residence of the family head's wife. No matter what the reason for the fire in this house is, we must check it thoroughly. To prevent future troubles, in case the other houses suddenly start burning. " Of course, Xu Zhu would not leave so easily, because the main character had yet to go on stage. However, since he was putting on a good show, he immediately asked the Xiao Family disciples behind him to spread out and inspect the entire courtyard.
After a long time, a beautiful shadow suddenly rushed into the courtyard. When she saw the Alchemy House in front of her, her delicate face trembled as if she found it hard to believe. It was Xiao Chuxuan who had rushed over after hearing the news. However, she immediately rushed into the ruins. She used her palm to split open the furnace that had been burnt to the point of deforming, but within the cracked furnace... A few extremely charred medicinal pills fell out and landed on the ground. They immediately turned into black powder on the ground.
"My medicinal pills... mine..." Xiao Chuxuan's delicate body immediately started trembling when she saw this. Her delicate face was filled with sorrow. Because this cauldron of pill furnace had consumed three years of her painstaking efforts. She did not expect that it would actually be burned down by a huge fire.
"Big Miss, are you alright?" Xu Zhu saw Xiao Chuxuan's appearance and pretended to be concerned.
"Why did my medicine refining house burn like this?" Xiao Chuxuan also turned her eyes in shock and anger as she stared at Xu Zhu and shouted.
"It was already like this when I came. The young lady might want to ask Martial Emperor Bai about the specific situation..." Xu Zhu immediately pushed the suspicion to Zi Tianhao.
