Zhao Chongxiao saw Zhao Sheng's confusion and explained with a smile, "Chonghe, you and Xiaowei are both over eighteen. Naturally, you are eligible to participate in the Qixia Club. I am the leader of our Zhao family, and I will take you two to climb Qixia Peak this year."
Zhao Sheng seemed to be lost in thought after hearing this. He secretly took a step back to distance himself from Zhao Chongxiao.
It was not intentional to alienate each other, but because Zhao Chongxiao was "too stinky".
It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a foul smell emanated from his mouth.
The smell is hard to describe, like the strong stench of rotting blood.
Zhao Sheng felt very strange. The stench was so obvious, but why did Zhao Chongxiao and Zhao Chongwei act so naturally, as if they didn't smell anything?
Zhao Chongxiao was very sensitive and immediately noticed something was wrong with Zhao Sheng.
He subconsciously sniffed around, then asked in surprise: "What? Is there something wrong?"
Zhao Sheng smiled and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with that! I just want to ask, will this year's Qixia Fair still be held on July 15th?"
Zhao Chongxiao felt relieved and answered fluently: "It's moved up this year, on the first day of July."
"Oh! Doesn't that mean there are only three days left?" Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that, and then he muttered to himself.
At this moment, Zhao Chongwei, still very excited, suddenly reminded him: "Don't forget to dress up nicely. Also, bring some invisibility charms. They're very popular!"
"Okay, I get it! You should dress up beautifully too. It would be great if you could find a suitable husband at the Qixia Fair."
"Hmph, I won't tell you anymore!"
Zhao Chongwei stomped her feet shyly, turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng and the others couldn't help but smile.
The Qixia Club is not only a gathering of the younger generation of immortal cultivation families such as Lan, Wei, Zhao Wang, etc., but also has some meaning similar to a blind date meeting.
Although immortal cultivation families mainly rely on marriage alliances, if the younger generations are in love with each other, wouldn't it be countless times better than a blind marriage?
"Don't forget, July 1st." Before leaving, Zhao Chongxiao patted Zhao Sheng on the shoulder and gave him a serious instruction.
After watching the other person leave, Zhao Sheng touched the shoulder that was patted with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and his expression instantly became extremely serious.
He thought about it, then suddenly turned around and went back into the Hall of Good Deeds.
Soon, Zhao Keqin and Zhao Sheng, with serious expressions, left Shangong Hall together and rushed to Chaoxing Garden, where they found Zhao Jinding who was recovering from his injuries.
Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng and the other man left Chaoxing Garden separately.
Then, some unusual movements occurred within the Zhao family. Some people were secretly summoned for questioning, some were secretly transferred, and two teams of spies were quickly dispatched.
A day later, the number of Zhao's outer patrol team suddenly doubled, and Longli Lake quietly entered a state of tightening inside and loosening outside.
Two days later, Chaoxing Garden,
In the secret room, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Keqin and Zhao Jinding met again.
As soon as they sat down, Zhao Sheng asked, "Uncle Qin, have you found anything unusual?"
Zhao Keqin's expression was gloomy. He said solemnly, "Chonghe, you're right. There's something wrong with Chongxiao. This year's Qixia meeting wasn't moved forward at all. Chongxiao, he...he lied!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Jinding smashed the table with his palm, stood up, and roared: "Asshole! What does he want to do? What is his intention in tricking you and Weiwei out?
Damn it, I hate people who betray their own people the most in my life!"
Compared to the angry Zhao Jinding, Zhao Sheng seemed very calm.
He stroked his chin and said suggestively, "This couldn't have been his own idea. I'm afraid there's someone else behind this."
Zhao Keqin nodded solemnly; he also thought so.
Looking at the two elders, Zhao Sheng said, "Let's not talk about how to deal with Zhao Chongxiao for now. The most important thing now is to figure out why the mastermind targeted us two and not others."
"I can roughly guess the other party's purpose. It must be the invisibility talisman that caused the trouble." Zhao Keqin immediately responded.
Zhao Sheng's face changed after hearing this. He didn't expect it was because of the invisibility talisman.
There are only thirty cultivators in the Zhao family.
wrong,
In the past two years, the family has encountered many accidents, and several members of the Ke generation have been killed. Now there are only 27 members of the family who practice Taoism.
If anyone is interested and investigates carefully, it is not difficult to find out that the invisibility talisman was made by him and Zhao Chongwei.
Zhao Sheng knew that the invisibility talismans were extremely popular, but he didn't expect them to be so popular that people would go to such great lengths to kidnap them.
It's his fault for being too narrow-minded.
Zhao Sheng not only underestimated his own talent, but also underestimated the difficulty of refining the invisibility talisman.
Even if the threshold for making talismans is low, it still requires a certain amount of talent, especially for talismans of top difficulty, which require the most advanced talent in talismans.
Zhao Sheng found it hard to imagine what crazy things some people or forces would do for a long-term "meal ticket".
What happened to him today was just child's play.
Zhao Sheng quickly asked, "Then how should this matter be handled?"
"Needless to say, catch that bastard immediately and grind him to dust!" Zhao Jinding said angrily.
The older he got, the more irritable he became, especially after his failure in building his foundation. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, and then these thieves happened to run into him.
Zhao Keqin nodded in agreement and said, "We won't be able to sleep or eat unless we find the mastermind. There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days!"
Zhao Sheng looked at Zhao Jinding and asked, "Since that's the case, should we take advantage of their strategy or capture Zhao Chongxiao first?"
Zhao Chongxiao is from the eldest wife's family, so before taking him down, we need to ask Zhao Jinding's opinion.
Unexpectedly, the Zhao clan elder shouted without hesitation: "Don't try to lure the snake out of its hole. I want to ask Zhao Chongxiao, how has the Zhao family wronged him that he dared to collude with outsiders to murder one of our own!"
"Mr. Ding is right! We need to be cautious in our actions and don't take risks if we have a choice." Zhao Keqin immediately agreed after hearing this.
Zhao Sheng knew the two elders had already made their decision, so he naturally didn't object. After all, he didn't want to risk his life.
After the discussion was completed, the three of them immediately left Chaoxingyuan and went to Zhao Chongxiao's residence.
Just half a minute later, Zhao Jinding kicked open the door of the quiet room with an angry look on his face and saw Zhao Chongxiao practicing inside.
In the quiet room, Zhao Chongxiao opened his eyes and saw Zhao Sheng and the other two people breaking in. His face changed slightly, then returned to normal in an instant.
He immediately stood up and was about to bow and greet the two elders respectfully.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Jinding suddenly flashed and approached him. His right palm shone with spiritual light, and he slapped Zhao Chongxiao's dantian with one palm. The powerful spiritual power surged in and instantly sealed the opponent's dantian qi acupoint.
Zhao Chongxiao's face changed drastically, and he forced a smile, "Second Grandfather, why did you seal my Dantian? Did Chongxiao do anything wrong?"
Bang!
Zhao Jinding slapped Zhao Chongxiao in the face, causing blood to ooze from his mouth and nose.
