Xiao Chen met Su Ruoxue’s gaze.
“Is that really important?”
Su Ruoxue bit her lip.
“I… I’m curious.”
Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment and put Xiao Ziyi into the car before turning around to answer.
“Five years ago, in that villa, the family that got murdered was mine!”
Xiao Chen started the car and left the scene, leaving Su Ruoxue stunned.
He was the Xiao Chen that had all of his limbs broken before being tossed into the Yangtze river!
No wonder he would move into the villa next to hers!
No wonder he found his daughter two days after she’d told him about her.
But… It’s only been five years!
In five years, he went from being an ant with broken limbs to a person who could deter the existence of the Chen family. What had he experienced?
At that moment, Su Ruoxue felt she was even more attracted to Xiao Chen’s mysterious aura.
After bringing Xiao Ziyi home, Qi Sha once again quietly appeared.
“Emperor, ten days from now is grandfather Xiao’s birthday. Your first and third uncle will be present.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
“I got it. You can go now.”
“Yes, sir.”
After Qi Sha retreated, Xiao Ziyi grabbed Xiao Chen’s hand.
Xiao Chen felt a warmness in his chest as he hugged Xiao Ziyi to himself, resting his chin on her head and stroking her back.
“Ziyi, if the people who brought Lu Qiran to Jiangbei hadn’t been them… Wouldn’t that be great?”
Their hearts connected. Xiao Ziyi could feel Xiao Chen’s solemn heart and infinite sorrow as she reached out to touch Xiao Chen’s cheeks. Xiao Chen’s eyes were red, which made her worried.
She didn’t know what feeling this was, but she knew that if she could, she would rather be hit and beaten by the kids at the orphanage than see her daddy in so much pain.
She couldn’t imagine the pain of being betrayed by one’s family.
In Xiao Chen’s mind, the childhood memories appeared of his uncle and third uncle holding him like how he was holding his own daughter.
But that one night, all the tender feelings and sense of familiarity had been shattered.
Their family relations were turned to dust.
From this day on, all that was left was Xiao Chen’s desire to kill them.
He didn’t know how long he thought about it when suddenly his daughter jolted in his arms.
Xiao Ziyi’s face was turning inexplicably white, her forehead suffused with cold sweat. Her small figure was trembling.
Xiao Chen was surprised and immediately began to check his daughter for anomalies.
With his powers, he analyzed the veins of his daughter. His face began to drip with gloominess.
“Who has poisoned my daughter’s blood with bug poison?”
“Woosh.”
Xiao Ziyi’s small body continued to writhe in pain. Xiao Chen’s heart hurt and immediately forced a drop of blood out from his finger tip and sent it through his daughter’s blood stream. Soon, he managed to take out the grub.
The grub was massive, about the size of a child’s thumb. He didn’t know how long it had been in Xiao Ziyi’s body for.
If the bug cultivated longer, Xiao Ziyi would have been killed by it.
After he took out the parasite, Xiao Ziyi seemed to be more calm. She fell into a deep sleep. But seeing her cheeks stained with tears, Xiao Chen felt his heart ache.
He was distressed. He could hear the sound of Su Ruoxue’s Ferrari outside. Xiao Chen thought for a moment and stood up to open the entrance door.
Su Ruoxue got out of the car and began apologizing as soon as she saw Xiao Chen.
“Xiao Chen, sorry. I should have asked when I used your parking lot.”
“No worries.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and approached her.
“I have some business to take care of. Can you help me take care of my daughter?”
“Oh, okay! Leave it to me. Don’t worry about us!”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Su Ruoxue was almost done speaking when Xiao Chen turned to leave.
He was fast. Although his strides were slow, each step felt like he was traveling two or three meters.
Soon, he disappeared into the night.
Once Xiao Chen left the community, Qi Sha immediately appeared next to him.
“Emperor!”
“I want the information on all the grub poison facilities and industries in Jiangbei.”
“In response to Your Highness, among the mountain forests of western Jiangbei are many monks that have transfered from the Miao frontiers. Out of these, the Thousand Poison Faction is the most famous.”
“Let’s go take a look.”
“Yes sir.”
The two disappeared on the spot simultaneously, leaving a gust of wind in their place.
In the barren forests that surrounded western Jiangbei, mountain regions and overgrown trees enveloped them.
Because of the overly nutritious natural habitat, the area had been deemed a protected zone by the Yan Republic. It was inaccessible to most humans and was home to countless species of animals, plants, as well as poisonous insects.
Because people seldom visited, the rotting corpses of leaves and animals meshed together and produced a toxic gas, which was the prime living condition for practicing insect poison.
The Thousand Poison Faction was the largest and most poisonous faction in the western mountains!
They were located in a plot of land under the moonlight in the western mountains. Because of their long term history of bullying and plundering other monk factions and temples, the Thousand Poison Faction had very rich resources that have supported them and allowed them to be a powerful sect.
It was late at night, the sky the color of blood. The entire forest seemed to be cloaked in a blood red shroud, including the Thousand Poison Faction.
That evening, two disciples were guarding the mountain when they suddenly saw two figures gradually approach the faction.
“Halt! Who are you? Who let you in here?”
The two soldiers demanded. But the two figures were in no rush as they continued to approach the Thousand Poison Faction gates.
“I’m Xiao Chen of Jiangbei. I have some matters to discuss with your headmaster.”
“Xiao Chen? Who the hell is that? Never heard of him. Get the hell out of here and don’t cause trouble! Or else don’t blame my fist for not knowing you!”
Xiao Chen’s gaze remained calm. He stared at the person opposite him as he eyed him from head to toe.
“It seems like there’s not much to discuss between you and I.”
Immediately, Qi Sha kicked back and accelerated forward.
The two disciples smiled coldly, an arrogant gleam appearing in their eyes.
“Idiot. You dare come stir up trouble in our faction, you’re looking for ….”
“Whoosh!”
Before the two could finish their sentence, Qi Sha had sent both of them flying with one punch.
His punches were strong and did not spare a second. He had perforated their chests and sent them flying towards the mountain gate.
The thick and heavy stone door was shattered to pieces by the force in mere seconds.
“Emperor, go ahead!”
Qi Sha tossed the corpses to the side like trash.
Xiao Chen placed his hands behind his back and stepped into the gates.
Their actions however had disrupted many inside.
By the time Xiao Chen was inside, hoards of disciples of the Thousand Poison Faction were already charging at him. Xiao Chen was surrounded.
