Chapter 575: Chapter 575
Especially Li Shitao, her chest heaving tremendously, immediately attracting many sidelong glances.
And behind the two women, several figures in grey robes followed. Their powerful aura suggested they were all strong individuals in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Yan!" Xiao Cancan hurriedly ran over, eyes full of surprise and delight, "What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here."
The two could only smile and greet her.
"I heard that a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator fell in the Eastern Domain. With such a grand event, you didn’t go to see the commotion and instead plan to leave?" Li Shitao moved gracefully closer and asked curiously.
Yan Xiaohu pouted, replying irritably, "Why do we need to report to you what we want to do?"
Li Shitao, hands on hips and eyebrows arched, retorted, "Did you take the wrong medicine, Yan Xiaohu? Don’t forget how you used to call me Sister Tao back then."
Yan Xiaohu countered, "As if you never called me Master Hu."
Zhou Qing and Xiao Cancan, seeing the two about to bicker, quickly intervened to mediate.
Zhou Qing hastily explained, "We are currently students of the White Jade Taixu Courtyard. We came back specially to visit family and now we’re planning to return."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cancan’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in excitement, "Great! We’re also going to the Vast Mansion!"
Zhou Qing was slightly stunned but quickly understood.
It seems they got a little bored and are planning to find Zhang Wanbao.
Whether it’s Mansion Master Xiao Ji or Wanxiang Auction President Zhang Yifu, they have started pushing the two children, once well-protected, towards the outside world.
"In that case, let’s go together. I’ll talk to them!" Xiao Cancan said, pulling the still-wanting-to-say-something Li Shitao towards a nearby steward.
Watching her back, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
It turned out she and Zhang Wanbao indeed looked like a couple. The first time they visited the Vast Mansion, it was Zhang Wanbao who got them in line, and now the second time, it was Xiao Cancan.
Zhou Qing then glanced at Yan Xiaohu and said, "Why do you two always fight like cats and dogs when you meet? Sister Tao helped us many times."
Yan Xiaohu crossed his arms disdainfully, "Hmph, I knew her before I joined the Taiqing Sect. You wouldn’t understand... never mind, it still makes me angry just thinking about it."
As expected, when the Lingyun Mansion little princess made moves, the transmission stopped immediately. After quickly checking the array and confirming it’s intact, they arranged for Zhou Qing and the others to head to the Vast Mansion.
Flash of light, spinning of the world, and when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived at the Vast Mansion plaza.
This place was also crowded, with a constant cacophony.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Yan, we still need to visit Mansion Master Ke Uncle. Once we’re done, we’ll see you at the academy!" Xiao Cancan said happily.
Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, "Then you go ahead. We’ll meet up later!"
Li Shitao glanced at Yan Xiaohu, snorted coldly, and turned away. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Yan Xiaohu made a face behind her back, this childish act left Zhou Qing speechless.
After quickly tidying up, the two headed straight to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard.
As they passed through a mountain range, sudden roars reached their ears from ahead.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu immediately became alert, their spiritual power operating quietly, eyes fixed ahead.
Soon, they saw a bulky figure in a grey robe fleeing toward them in panic.
"Husband!" When the chubby woman saw Zhou Qing, the fear in her eyes instantly turned to disbelief, followed by a sobbing voice as she rushed toward him without a care.
Seeing her, the two were shocked, never expecting her to be in the Vast Mansion.
In an instant, Lady Li was in front of Zhou Qing.
She was already in tears, her tears kept sliding down her cheeks, mumbling, "You’re back, you’ve finally come back."
She opened her arms, wanting to hug Zhou Qing tightly.
But her belly was too big, and in her haste, she kept pushing Zhou Qing back.
Zhou Qing quickly raised his hands to stop her.
They understood Lady Li was confused, mistaking Zhou Qing for someone else like last time.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The pursuers quickly surrounded them; one was a late-stage Nascent Soul master, and the other three were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Judging by their attire, they seemed to be from the same sect.
Seeing this, Lady Li turned around, trembling, "Husband, you two leave quickly. I’ll hold them off."
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu exchanged awkward looks.
Don’t both sides know their own strength?
The leading late-stage Nascent Soul elder glanced coldly at Yan Xiaohu.
Then he spoke viciously, "So there’s someone aiding you, sending a pregnant woman to steal spirit medicine from our sect. As a man, you’re truly disgraceful."
"Not daring to act yourself, you resort to such despicable means. Today, neither of you will leave easily!"
The other three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators also looked fierce, tightly gripping their magical artifacts, ready to act on the elder’s command.
Yan Xiaohu was startled, "The two of us?"
"Hmph, just look at your sneaky face. Who else could it be?" the elder sneered.
Yan Xiaohu instinctively looked at Zhou Qing.
Lady Li’s body isn’t that big, yet she blocked you?
Seeing Yan Xiaohu look aside, the three immediately turned their eyes in the same direction, their faces changing instantly, and they quickly stepped back, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
