"I understand!" Wu Yuan's lips curled up secretly.
It seems that Xia Qingchen is in a bit of trouble.
Abducting the city lord's daughter and taking her to an extremely dangerous place like Black Shark's territorial waters, the city lord cannot tolerate it no matter how tolerant he is, right?
Wait for him to leave.
Duan Zhanlong's face indeed darkened.
His figure turned around and walked quickly towards the secret room of the mansion.
A thick layer of dust fell on the door lintel of the secret room, and on the floor were the meals delivered by the servants today.
Just like the past month, the food is cold and has not been touched at all.
"Sir," the servant responsible for taking care of the outside asked.
Duan Zhanlong said: "Miss, are you still in retreat?"
"Yes!" the servant said, "Miss has never gone out, and you can often hear the sound of practicing."
Duan Zhanlong stared at the stone door, pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves and robe, and a violent force came out and smashed the stone door into pieces.
In the secret room, what came into view was Duan Xiaoqing's back. She was sitting upright on the futon, meditating attentively, looking like she was deeply in concentration.
But how can a person who has reached a deep level of concentration continue to practice amidst the loud noise of the secret room door being forcibly shattered without any movement?
Duan Zhanlong stepped forward and grabbed Duan Xiaoqing's back collar. As soon as his palm touched it, he heard a slight explosion sound. Duan Xiaoqing actually exploded on the spot, turning into scattered air currents that radiated around him.
Pieces of torn pieces of clothing were shattered and fell in all directions.
But except for the torn clothes, there was nothing else in the place.
Duan Zhanlong's face instantly darkened. It turned out that his daughter was not in seclusion from the beginning, but used some special martial arts to gather air to hold up her clothes, so she looked like his daughter from behind.
As for the sounds of daily practice, Duan Zhanlong glanced around and found a running voice nirvana in the corner.
Various pre-recorded sounds were emitted from time to time, and there were no repeated clips. This made the uninformed housekeeper and Duan Zhanlong mistakenly think that Duan Xiaoqing was in retreat inside.
The housekeeper's face turned pale and he trembled: "The lady is missing..."
Or more than a month?
This...this is a big deal!
"I'm surprised!" Duan Zhanlong's face concealed suppressed anger: "How could she suddenly change her gender and stay in seclusion for more than a month for the first time?"
The butler said fearfully: "Sir, I'm glad Miss is fine, otherwise Xia Qingchen wouldn't be able to afford compensation for her ten lives."
Duan Zhanlong's eyes were gloomy and he said nothing.
"Master, this Xia Qingchen is so ungrateful." The housekeeper was frightened and angry: "You helped him so much, how did he repay you?"
"In an academy that has just been established, he actually dares to recruit a promising young lady and take her to such a dangerous place?" The housekeeper was indignant: "The so-called kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of spring. We don't want Xia Qingchen to do so.
To repay the favor, he can’t trap us, can he?”
Duan Zhanlong said calmly: "Stop talking."
But the housekeeper could not contain his anger: "Master, this Xia Qingchen is a complete villain, we can't just let it go!"
"Shut up!" Duan Zhanlong glanced at her: "What do you know? It has been spread that my daughter, Duan Zhanlong, has joined Wuchen Academy and was taken to the territory of the Black Shark Demon King. Who will benefit from it?"
No one.
There is no benefit for Xia Qingchen, no benefit for him Duan Zhanlong, and no benefit for his daughter Duan Xiaoqing.
"This matter can only be handled in a low-key manner." Duan Zhanlong said: "Have someone go to Wuchen Academy and bring that girl back."
The butler just calmed down from his anger.
Indeed, after such a big scandal, the city lord's palace would become the laughing stock of others, and the noble Qianjin actually entered a little-known little academy blindly?
Duan Xiaoqing can't afford to lose this person, Duan Zhanlong can't afford to lose, and neither can the entire City Lord's Mansion.
That's why Duan Zhanlong asked Wu Yuan not to leak the matter.
He could only ask the people in the mansion to quietly bring Duan Xiaoqing back.
"Yes, sir."
It's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.
Duan Zhanlong wanted to deal with it quietly, but some people didn't want to.
After Wu Yuan left the City Lord's Mansion, he did not go far. Instead, he savored Duan Zhanlong's words, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant he became.
It seemed that the city lord was not as angry as he imagined, nor did he appear to be furious. Instead, he wanted to calm down the incident.
He sat in the teahouse opposite the mansion, and after careful meditation, he gradually figured out the city lord's mentality.
Not long after, he saw a sneaky man walking out of the city lord's mansion and heading straight for Wuchen Academy, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"It seems that the city lord wants to settle the matter." Wu Yuan was a little dissatisfied.
The dissolution of Wuchen Academy failed to sway Xia Qingchen.
Even if you ask the city lord, you can't shake Xia Qingchen.
"You're a poor guy with no background, and I can't cure you?" Wu Yuan was furious, thought for a while, picked up the telex device and quietly contacted a person he hadn't contacted for a long time.
Wuchen Academy.
When the servants from the City Lord's Mansion arrived, it happened to be the time when Duan Xiaoqing asked Xia Qingchen's family to inherit the martial arts.
"Teacher, am I still lacking?" Duan Xiaoqing and Xia Qingchen asked anxiously after exchanging a few moves.
Xia Qingchen nodded and said: "It's almost done. The defect on the top of the head has basically been solved. It just needs practice and practice to make it perfect."
Hearing this, Duan Xiaoqing showed a happy expression.
In a few days, she practiced hard, and with Xia Qingchen's guidance, she was able to make up for the shortcomings of her family's inherited martial arts.
During a period of time, she felt that she had gained more than she had in the past year.
Finally completed successfully.
"Thank you, Teacher Xia, for your cultivation." Duan Xiaoqing was very happy. She looked at Xia Qingchen and felt happy in her heart. She felt that the wisest decision she had made in so many years was to accept Xia Qingchen as her teacher.
She looked forward to it.
After the family's inherited martial arts skills are completed, the next step is to practice another ancestral inherited martial arts skill given to her by Xia Qingchen - Jackdaw Evil Light!
According to Xia Qingchen, the martial arts skills practiced by their Duan family are completely inferior to those of Jackdaw Evil Light.
I don’t know what kind of power it will be after successful cultivation.
Thinking of this, he was eager to give it a try: "Teacher, can I practice the Jackdaw Evil Light starting today?"
"Go." Xia Qingchen said, "If you don't understand anything during this period, just ask."
"I'll go now!" Duan Xiaoqing knew how valuable Xia Qingchen's advice was, and any doubts could be clearly pointed out from the simple to the deep.
With his guidance from the side, the speed of cultivation will definitely increase several times.
Fearing that time would be wasted, Duan Xiaoqing hurriedly ran into the secret room.
Just at this moment, the third housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion came over in a low-key manner wearing a bamboo hat.
"Dean Xia, the city lord already knows that the young lady is with you, please let me take her back." The third housekeeper was polite and smiled modestly.
Xia Qingchen pursed her lips and said, "Go by yourself."
The third housekeeper smiled back and hurriedly came to Duan Xiaoqing's secret room and said: "Miss, the master asked me to take you back."
Duan Xiaoqing, who was preparing to practice, devoted himself wholeheartedly to practice, and said impatiently: "Go away! I won't go back!"
Is she stupid if she goes back now?
The opportunity for a turning point in life is right in front of you! (Updated at 10 am tomorrow)
