Chapter 1516: Chapter 475: Reunion and Regret, Gathering at the Mufu and Accusations_2
"That’s right, if it weren’t for Brother Ji’s rescue, the four of us would probably have died on the Blood Miasma Plain."
Su Xing’er wept with joy, her voice still choked with sobs, showing just how important it was for her to see Xia Hong again.
Among the nine people from Great Xia present, including Jiang Xinfan at the head, upon hearing Su Xing’er call "Master" for the second time, and with Xia Hong not correcting her, everyone felt a bit moved, especially the three young men Hong Yu, who couldn’t help but turn to look at Su Xing’er and her brother with envy in their eyes.
Fate is truly wonderful...
Xia Hong noticed everyone’s expressions but didn’t mind. Instead, he couldn’t help but sigh internally for a moment.
According to Jiang Xinfan’s previous statement, the Mysterious Ice Dao Monster had almost caused devastating damage to the two Feudal Town Trial Zones. Under normal circumstances, with Su Xing’er and her siblings’ strength at that time, they definitely wouldn’t have survived, even with the Yellow Candle he gave them.
But they happened to encounter Ji Hong!
Without thinking, it was clear that it must have been the Yellow Candle or Solidified Fire Oil, items exclusive to Great Xia, that connected Ji Hong with the four siblings.
From the start of the trial in November the year before last until now, it’s been a full two years. Su Xing’er’s 42 Manes’ strength exceeded Xia Hong’s expectations a bit, and looking at Su Jing, even more exaggerated at 38 Manes.
However, Xia Hong soon noticed their abnormalities.
Their skin membrane was almost flawless, which was a sign of consuming a large number of Blood Jade Pearls!
"Get up! Meeting Ji Hong was part of your destiny..."
Xia Hong lifted Su Xing’er and her brother, then turned his gaze to the other three people, smiling as he continued, "Zhang Yuchuan, I know you. What are your two names?"
Su Xing’er and her brother, though puzzled at first about the title of Lord used by the others, had long had some suspicions about Xia Hong’s background, so they quickly calmed down;
But it was different for the three people, including Zhang Yuchuan.
They were trusted followers of Ji Hong, taken in at Chen Cang, and knew nothing about Great Xia. Even so, from Xia Hong’s demonstration of strength in the Su Field at Hekou Village and Jiang Xinfan’s current attitude towards him, the three could guess a lot.
"Subordinate Liu Biao, greets the Lord!"
"Subordinate Wang Feng, greets the Lord!"
Being able to take in two Cold Resistance Level followers with 38 Manes strength as trusted allies couldn’t be achieved by strength alone. Strength, wealth, status, and means are all indispensable.
It seems that Ji Hong had truly thrived in Chen Cang for over three years!
Xia Hong couldn’t help but sigh, his curiosity growing, and he waved his hand, saying, "Now that this matter is over, let’s not linger here. The fire is getting bigger, and many Xianyang Level individuals have already arrived, so gather your things and head to Yanling County City first!"
Yanling County City is definitely a place to go.
To meet Ji Hong, see the situation in Yanling County City, and investigate the truth of the Frost Ash Association. Additionally, Xia Hong is curious about how the uprising at Lu River Valley will develop. Will Chen Cang continue to push for reform, or will it concede entirely?
Two choices that will inevitably lead Chen Cang down drastically different paths.
Of course, there is also one most important thing, the invitation to Yang City on the 25th of next month. Not only curious about this mysterious Yang City, but Xia Hong himself also needs to purchase a large number of cultivation resources, and he definitely wants to see for himself.
Not to mention, buying as much as possible and bringing it back to Xia City for research would be good too!
"Does the Lord plan to enter the city as the Daqin Prince, or..."
Upon hearing Jiang Xinfan’s question, Xia Hong furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand, "No need, I won’t stay in Chen Cang for too long. It would be bad if I blew Ji Hong’s cover. Let’s sneak in!"
"I understand, my lord!"
Jiang Xinfan had stayed in Chen Cang for half a year, and Ji Hong for three years, so they surely had a way to handle identity issues. Xia Hong wasn’t worried about it, seeing Jiang Xinfan already arranging matters, he gazed distantly towards the west.
During the two hours he and the others reunited in the Windless Valley, the raging fire in the Rice Field had gained unstoppable momentum, spreading over 20 kilometers from north to south. The thick smoke filled the sky, and the ashes from the burning straw blanketed the skies above a radius of several dozen miles.
"The water source is close to Hekou Village, but the fire has spread completely. Even releasing the water now wouldn’t save it. Chen Cang has truly suffered a huge loss this time. The reform probably won’t succeed..."
As Xia Hong pondered alone, Zhang Yuchuan on the other side walked to Su Xing’er after asking a few questions, his face turning grim as he went to the secluded side of the valley to call down his two sisters from the carriage.
"Yuzu, was the lord who stayed at our home named Hong Yu?"
Upon seeing Zhang Yuzhu nod and confirm the answer, Zhang Yuchuan’s already grim expression became further tinged with regret and bitterness.
Even though he hadn’t been to Hekou Village that night, he had already learned of all the events from the Hekou Sub-Branch from others. When Xia Hong spoke, he immediately recognized it as the senior who stayed at his home.
As for the name Hong Yu, he had asked Su Xing’er and her siblings to find out.
Su Xing’er and her brothers joined the Frost Ash Association’s Yanling Headquarters last year. Being part of the Little Dragon Head, just like him, they weren’t much older, so they had a pretty good relationship.
