In front of Piaoxue Pavilion, in a relatively remote attic, dozens of people stood together, seemingly arguing about something.
"Father, I don't want to go back. I want to watch the Snow Shower. Isn't this okay?" Meng Hongxue looked at Meng Quan pleadingly, her watery eyes a little moist.
"No, you have to go back." Meng Quan said resolutely, but he sighed in his heart. Seeing his daughter in such pitiful appearance, he was heartbroken. However, he had to be cruel and forced Meng Hongxue to go first.
Leave.
"Why?" Meng Hongxue asked in a tearful voice, very confused as to why her father, who had always been kind and kind, was forcing him so hard today.
Meng Quan was silent for a moment and said: "I always feel that something happened. Luo Mu cannot possibly influence Wu Qing's decision. Wu Qing must have a purpose."
"But didn't he promise in public that he would not target us again? Will he break his promise?" Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes flickered and she said.
"Child, you are too naive." Meng Quan looked at his inexperienced daughter, a look of worry flashed between his eyebrows, and said: "You don't know how proud the children of the big family who were born in Piaoxue City are.
It's impossible for them to bow their heads in public. Once they do it, they must have some agenda."
After Meng Quan explained this, Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes suddenly condensed for a moment, and then there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes, and she lost her voice: "Father, do you mean that Wu Qing will still deal with me?"
"Yes." Meng Quan's expression gradually became serious and he said: "I have always had an unknown premonition in my heart. I always feel that something is going to happen. Maybe Wu Qing will find another opportunity to take action against you."
As if thinking of something, Meng Hongxue continued: "But according to you, with Wu Qing's family background, it should be easy to arrest me. After so many days, if he wanted to arrest me, he should have done it long ago.
Let’s take action.”
"This is also what I am confused about." Meng Quan frowned slightly. He had also thought about whether Wu Qing would kidnap Meng Hongxue while he was not paying attention.
Therefore, these days, he has been guarding Meng Hongxue every step of the way, but Wu Qing's people have not yet seen anyone take action, as if Wu Qing has really let her go.
"You're not afraid of 10,000, but just in case. You'd better go back to Changfeng City as soon as possible. It's the safest place there. Wu Qing probably won't chase him there." Meng Quan said in a deep voice. There is no other way. Who can let him?
The Meng family has offended the Wu family and can only choose to avoid it.
Without Meng Hongxue, the Meng family would be nothing more than dust to Wu Qing, and Wu Qing would not send strong men from the family to deal with the Meng family.
After Meng Hongxue heard this, a look of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression suddenly dimmed. Her slender jade fingers were clenched tightly together. At this moment, she was very confused and didn't know what to do.
The reason why she insisted on staying was not because of the two younger generations of the Luo family, but because she wanted to see that man, wanted to know how he would walk out of the Holy Pond Snow Mountain, and wanted to see him stand out from the crowd and shine brightly.
But now, these seem to be just extravagant hopes, out of reach.
In the face of family affection and love, she seemed to have no choice. It was hard to disobey her father's orders. She could only temporarily abandon the thoughts deeply hidden in her heart and do what her father told her.
"Okay, I promise you, I will go back to Changfeng City now." Meng Hongxue slowly closed her eyes, and a line of clear tears ran down her cheeks, which was extremely poignant and moving.
"Hongxue, don't blame your father for being too ruthless. This is for your own good." Meng Quan sighed secretly in his heart. Although Meng Hongxue didn't reveal anything on the surface, how could he, a father, not understand his daughter's thoughts.
Ever since Qin Xuan left Meng Mansion, he had found his daughter awake many times late at night, standing alone in the yard, looking up at the night sky.
Even if there were no stars, she could still see into the night, just standing there quietly, as if she had lost her mind, not knowing what she was thinking.
But this time, the Piaoxue event was held, and she, who had never been interested in these cultivation events, unexpectedly came to watch it. Besides Qin Xuan, who else could it be for?
Meng Quan also admired Qin Xuan very much for his reliable character and extraordinary talent. It would be a great thing to become his son-in-law. However, I heard that Qin Xuan already had a wife. Based on this alone,
Then he would not betroth his daughter to Qin Xuan.
And with Qin Xuan's attitude, he would definitely not be willing to stay in Changfeng City. He would definitely venture into the mainland. In that case, Hongxue would definitely be lonely and helpless. Even if she gets married, what awaits her will be endless waiting.
and suffering.
"Father, your daughter is gone, please take care of yourself." Meng Hongxue looked at Meng Quan with her beautiful eyes and said with concern, with a deep sense of reluctance in her tone.
"Well, you choose a few servants to go back with you so that you can be protected." Meng Quan turned around, closed his eyes and sighed, Meng Hongxue nodded lightly, and then left quietly.
Meng Hongxue's departure did not attract too many people's attention. Even Meng Yulan and Luo Qianchuan were not aware of it. Only a few servants vaguely knew some of the inside story.
Not long after, in the south of Piaoxue City, in a splendid ancient palace, the rooms inside were extremely majestic, with carved beams and jade pillars, and dragon and phoenix totems carved on the pillars, which were extremely dazzling.
This extremely luxurious ancient palace is where the Wu family is located.
At this moment, in a relatively grand room, two people were talking secretly.
"Master, you asked me to keep an eye on the Meng family father and daughter. Today, I finally made a new discovery!" A man knelt on the ground and said, with unconcealable excitement in his tone.
"Oh?" A light flashed in the eyes of the man on the throne, and he suddenly became interested and asked: "Tell me, what did you find?"
The man sitting on the throne was clearly Wu Qing. From that day on, he was sent to secretly observe Meng Quan and Meng Hongxue, paying close attention to their movements and not giving them a chance to escape.
The man kneeling on the ground said excitedly: "The villain has been observing Meng Hongxue. After talking to her father today, she left the pavilion with several servants, and seemed to be leaving Piaoxue City."
"Are you really going to run away?" Wu Qing's lips curled up. He had already expected that the old fox Meng Quan would no longer keep Meng Hongxue by his side and would definitely send her away.
Sure enough, things went as he expected and his opportunity came.
"Did you send someone to follow him?" Wu Qing looked at the man and asked.
"My servants did not dare to delay at all. After watching her leave, we immediately arranged for people to follow her secretly. As long as the young master gives the order, she will never escape from our hands!" The man said with certainty.
When Wu Qing heard this, he nodded slightly, glanced at the man below with admiration, and said calmly: "You are very good at doing things. I will remember you. If this is done, you can follow me from now on."
When the man heard Wu Qing's promise, he was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Master, for your support. I will definitely live up to the master's cultivation and I will do my best to get this matter done!"
A big force like the Wu family in Piaoxue City has an unknown number of servants, but the servants are also divided into strict hierarchies. It may even happen that the strength of the two is not much different, but the status is very different.
The so-called servant follows his master, the higher the status of the master in the family, the higher his status among the servants.
A servant without a master has the lowest status and needs to obey the orders of all servants with a higher rank than himself. If he disobeys, he will be directly expelled from the family without any status at all.
The older generation have their own confidants, and other servants will not gain their trust at all. Only the young juniors, who are still in their infancy, are the ones many servants try their best to please when they are in urgent need of employment.
.
"What do you mean, young master?" the man asked tentatively.
A flash of greed flashed in Wu Qing's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Catch her now, I want to enjoy it. Although I have owned countless women, I have never seen such a stunning beauty. I must capture her."
Get it!"
"Yes, the servant will do it immediately!" The servant replied and quickly left the room.
…
Hundreds of miles away from the space tunnel in Piaoxue City, several figures are flying in the air. Three men and one woman are none other than Meng Hongxue and the three servants of Meng Mansion. These three people are Meng Quan's confidants and will follow them to death, so
Meng Hongxue chose them to escort her back home.
"Miss, would you like to stop and rest for a while? We will reach the tunnel soon." One of them asked Meng Hongxue.
"No, it's more important to hurry up." Meng Hongxue shook her head and said. At this time, the sky was already a little gloomy and the night was already dark. If we don't speed up, I'm afraid the space tunnel will be closed.
The man nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay, I will follow the lady's instructions."
"No need to leave, none of you can leave today." At this moment, a cold voice sounded in several people's minds at the same time.
"No, Miss Protection, there is an assassin!"
The servant who had spoken to Meng Hongxue before had the fastest reaction. He instantly released his momentum and rushed in front of Meng Hongxue, blocking her behind him.
The other two people only slowed down for half a beat. The moment they heard the sound, they burst out and rushed towards Meng Hongxue, surrounding her in the center to avoid being kidnapped by others.
The cultivation of these three people are all at the peak of the sixth level of Yuanfu Realm, and they are already considered to be the first-class masters of Mengfu. Now the three of them are protecting Meng Hongxue together. Under normal circumstances, they should be foolproof, but the voice just now was too weird.
Have to guard against it.
"It's really boring. Do you think you can protect her like this?"
With the three guards of Meng Mansion standing ready, the void was silent for a few seconds, and finally another voice came out.
After the words fell, several figures strolled out from the void. The leader was wearing a jet black robe, and the large robe covered his face, but even so, the cold aura on his body was overwhelming and could not be concealed.
When you go out, you can't help but feel a chill in your body.
