Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan endured the severe pain in his lower abdomen and followed the guidance of the jade finger to find a secret road. At the end of the road, there was the mouth of a canyon...
About two moments later, Ma Xiaoquan stood at the mouth of the canyon.
"It's strange." Ma Xiaoquan touched his belly, "The Heart of Time is not restless anymore. What does this phantom forest have to do with it?"
Ma Xiaoquan wandered around the mouth of the canyon for a long time, and finally decided not to go in for the time being. The destination was found, but Li Qinghan and the others were still waiting for him, so they had to go back first and come back when there is a chance.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and left slowly.
Shortly after Ma Xiaoquan left, a woman suddenly rushed out of the canyon. This woman was the woman who had talked to Zhao Wenguang before.
"Strange? Why was there such a big fluctuation just now?" The woman carefully explored the area around the mouth of the canyon and found nothing strange. She couldn't help but shook her head, "I'm afraid I have to go back and ask my father about this matter...
..."
...
Returning to the three girls, Dongfang Qingxue asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, do you have any latest discoveries?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "The mouth of a canyon"
"The mouth of the canyon?" Bei Mingxue answered, "What's inside?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I haven't gone in yet. I've already marked it. I'll come back when I have time later."
Ma Xiaoquan said, taking Li Qinghan from the two girls and holding him gently in his arms.
Li Qinghan's injury was not serious. After Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue applied the wound medicine on her, she fell asleep from exhaustion. Ma Xiaoquan looked at Li Qinghan's hematomatous face and felt angry in his heart.
"Damn it, I have to kill that beast," Ma Xiaoquan thought to himself.
...
The four of them quietly arrived at the exit of a phantom forest and stopped.
Bei Mingxue asked: "Sister Dongfang, are you sure this is the place we came in before?"
Dongfang Qingxue nodded: "Yes, I marked it before, don't worry."
Ma Xiaoquan patted Dongfang Qingxue's shoulder approvingly: "Miss Dongfang is really cautious, um, she has the demeanor of a virtuous wife."
"A good wife? What is a good wife?" Bei Mingxue interrupted and asked.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Nei means wife. Wife means wife and daughter-in-law. Help means help. Xian, I don't need to say more, right?"
"Oh oh" Bei Mingxue nodded, murmured several times, then suddenly hummed and took the lead to leave the phantom forest.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Dongfang Qingxue with some embarrassment, while Dongfang Qingxue's face turned red.
"Ma Xiaoquan, when you say a good wife, do you really mean that?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, well, whoever marries you will definitely help you a lot in your life and career."
Dongfang Qingxue let out a sigh, lowered her head and said softly: "It's a pity that you didn't marry me..."
"Oriental girl, what did you say?"
Dongfang Qingxue raised her head and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, okay, let's go out quickly. Uncle Qin must have been waiting for a long time."
"Um"
Dongfang Qingxue was the second to walk out of the fantasy forest. When it was Ma Xiaoquan's turn, Li Qinghan suddenly woke up.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped, lowered his head and asked, "Qinghan, are you awake?"
Li Qinghan hummed softly and said, "Ma Xiaoquan, you are really good at provoking people..."
"Me? Who did I provoke?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Li Qinghan confused.
How could Li Qinghan have the energy to argue with Ma Xiaoquan: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go out. Well, put me down. I want to go by myself."
Ma Xiaoquan smacked his lips and said, "What are you going to do next? Hold me tight and I will wipe your wounds immediately after leaving the phantom forest. Uh, let Miss Dongfang and Miss Beiming..."
Li Qinghan hummed obediently and asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, my...you...did you see it?"
Ma Xiaoquan lied: "What did you see? I always wanted to kill the guy who bullied you, so I didn't pay attention."
"Oh" Li Qinghan said, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, "Okay, let's go out."
"Um"
...
At the exit, Lao Qin had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan walking out with Li Qinghan in his arms, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Xiao Ma, the situation... uh, is this Miss Li Qinghan? Hurry, take him to my place, I want to treat his injuries now."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, looked around, and said worriedly: "Old Qin, no one else has noticed, right? We are in the southwest corner of Zijia Manor now?"
Lao Qin said with a smile: "Don't worry. As early as half an hour ago, the Zi family and the four major aristocratic families had a temporary meeting, so there is no one here for the time being."
"Oh, well, let's go to your place now without further delay."
"good"
...
After settling Li Qinghan, Ma Xiaoquan felt relieved, walked out of Lao Qin's bedroom, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Dongfang Qingxue came out, quietly came to Ma Xiaoquan, and asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, what are you thinking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan opened his eyes and said: "I was thinking... what happened to the hidden wealthy families in the more than a thousand years since I was gone? Especially your four great families, when I was here in the past, there was no such thing.
appeared, things have changed, and it is said that the Hua family has completely declined..."
Dongfang Qingxue chuckled and said: "It has been more than a thousand years. What should die will naturally die, and what should stay will naturally stay. The general trend of the world still has the principle that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and unite for a long time, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes...it's just that it's not easy for the Zi family to remain standing for such a long time."
"Ma Xiaoquan, isn't it the same for your Ma family?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "If I can exist, then my Ma family will naturally also exist. However, by my generation, our Ma family will definitely not be as good as it is now."
"I don't understand what you said."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "To be honest, my real age is only 27 years old..."
"Are you serious about this? Ma Xiaoquan, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Dongfang Qingxue said in surprise.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "By chance, I was able to transcend the shackles of time and swim in the long river of history..."
"You... Speaking of which, you are actually much younger than us..." Dongfang Qingxue was even more surprised.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged: "The Ma family in the late Han Dynasty was indeed founded by me. If you think about it this way, am I much older than you? Haha..."
