Chapter 107: Mother, this is your daughter-in-law!

  Su Embroidery hugged Zhao Luan and said: "It's all because Mother didn't have the ability, otherwise why would my child be humiliated..."

  "Mother, you mustn't say that, for your sake, I can endure any hardship."

  "Eldest brother, second brother, it's uncertain when we'll meet again. I hope you brothers will be safe and sound..."

  Zhao Luan heard this and couldn't help but exclaim: "Mother, you..."

  "Silly girl, how could Mother let anyone threaten my precious daughter? Even if it's death, my Swan will come and go with a clear conscience, pure and untainted!"

  Zhao Luan couldn't help but sob and wail, saying: "Mother, Luan'er is going to tell Luo Tong that..."

  "Silly girl, if you don't tell him, perhaps you can live a few more days. But once you say it out loud, both you and your mother will certainly die on the spot. Since we're all going to die anyway, why bother telling him that?"

  "Big brother, second brother, Luan'er is incompetent and really can't protect Mother. Where are you guys? Luan'er misses you so much."

  A faint sound came from outside the door, and Zhao Zhuo and Su Xiu heard that slight noise, exchanging a glance, staring at the door with a guarded expression.

  The door creaked open slowly, and a faint smell of blood wafted out. A figure darted into the room.

  When they saw that figure, both Zhao Luan and Su Xiu were stunned, staring at the newcomer with faces full of disbelief.

  Zhao Duo's eyes sparkled with excitement, and tears fell involuntarily. He had been sneaking in for a while, but hadn't thought of a way to get rid of the maid guarding the door, so he had been hiding in the shadows.

  But Suou and Zhao Lian's conversation, he was all heard in his ears. Although there weren't many words, Zhao Shuo could infer many things from those words. At least the marriage between Zhao Lian and Luo Tong had been *ed, even his own mother had been captured by Luo Tong to coerce Zhao Lian. It seemed that what Luo Tong coveted was not Zhao Lian's beauty, but the ancient * he had passed on to Zhao Lian.

  Thinking of the grievances Zhao Lian and Su Rou had suffered, Zhao Zhuo felt a surge of anger that shot up to his head, and he risked exposure by striking down the maid who was standing guard outside.

  With tears in his eyes, Zhao Luan rubbed his red and swollen eyes, only then did he believe that the person standing in front of him was indeed his second brother.

  "Wuuu... Second Brother, Swan wants you so much!"

  Seeing his usually doting second brother, Zhao Lian's pent-up grievances could no longer be controlled, and he flung himself into Zhao Suo's arms, bursting into loud sobs.

  Zhao Zhuo gently stroked Zhao Luan's silky hair and said, "Luan'er, don't be afraid. Second Brother is here, and Second Brother won't let anyone bully you. Second Brother promises!"

  Su embroidery looked at Zhao Shuo with a satisfied expression on her face, who had matured a lot, and her heart was filled with excitement and joy.

  Noticing Su's gaze, Zhao Zhuo pushed away Zhao Luan and knelt down in front of Su with a thud, saying: "Child is unfilial, let mother suffer"

  Su Embroidery helped Zhao Duo up, carefully sizing him up. Zhao Duo muttered to himself: "My son has grown up, Mother is so afraid that you will get into trouble."

  "Son is fine, but mother has suffered"

  Su embroidered stroked Zhao Zhuo's face and shook her head: "Not bitter, mother is not bitter"

  Zhao Luan's face suddenly showed a worried expression, and he cautiously looked outside before saying in a low voice, "Second Brother, how did you end up here?"

  Zhao Luan was very clear that Luo Tong's residence was extremely strict, and it was absolutely not possible for anyone to enter at will. Yet Zhao Zhuo was able to find them, how could this not make Zhao Luan feel surprised?

  Zhao Duo coldly snorted and said: "Luckily I heard the news about you, little sister, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought that you would be caught and brought here"

  Zhao Luan looked Zhao Shuo up and down, a surprised expression on his face: "Second brother, I really can't tell how much stronger you've become"

  "Rest assured, big brother may not be great at this sort of thing, but I won't let anyone bully you either."

  Zhao Luan responded with a soft "en", leaning against Zhao Shuo's side, her face breaking out into a captivating smile. Her heart completely relaxed, as long as Zhao Shuo was by her side, she wouldn't be afraid of even the greatest danger.

  Seeing Zhao Lian's reaction, Su Dui couldn't help but say: "You silly girl, you're already a grown-up, yet you still stick to people like this. Aren't you afraid that Shuo Er will laugh at you?"

  Zhao Luan's face turned red, and she stomped her little foot saying: "I... I'm not a sticky person"

  Zhao Duo smiled and said, "Well, little sister has grown up, now she's a beautiful big girl. Otherwise, how would Luo Tong have the nerve to ask for her hand in marriage?"

  When Zhao Zhuo mentioned Luo Tong, Zhao Lian's expression turned solemn and he said: "Second brother, Luo Tong is not a simple person. He was able to guess that my cultivation method is from the ancient times just by deduction, so he had me and mother arrested. The reason he wanted me to get married is because he wants to obtain my cultivation method."

  Zhao Duo furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled, and said: "But if he just wanted to force you to hand over the formula, he wouldn't have needed to go through the motions of marrying into your family."

  Zhao Luan said with a smile: "Originally, I couldn't understand it either, but later I figured it out. I think Luo Tong insisted on me and him getting married because he had some concerns in his heart."

  Zhao Zhuo said in puzzlement: "What could he possibly be worried about? He's the young master of the Chongxia Sect, after all."

  Zhao Luan shook his head and said, "Although it can be said that within the range of Chongxiao Mountain, the Chongxiao Sect is indeed able to say one not two, and can be considered a prestigious sect. However, despite the great power of the Chongxiao Sect, when compared to those ancient sects, Chongxiao Mountain is actually far inferior, and may not even be comparable to a single hair on those sects' heads."

  Zhao Duan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "What you said is not bad. Chongxiao Sect is just like the monkey king in the mountain without tigers. Once out of the Chongxiao Mountain range, the strength of Chongxiao Sect is nothing more than that. Now thinking about it, Luo Tong's heart is also very uncertain. He is worried that there are people or forces behind you who will harm him."

  Zhao Luan said, "Yes, I also thought so. Luo Tong has made it clear that he wants to marry me and bring me into his family. If his scheme succeeds, even if I really have a powerful force backing me up, he will still have something to rely on. With the witness of countless people, he can completely shift the blame."

  Zhao Duo's mouth curled up in a sly smile, "Indeed, you're a good candidate, no wonder you've been unanimously recognized by the top and bottom of Chongxiu Sect as the next sect master."

  At this time, Zhao Zhuo was still smiling, and Zhao Luan couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhuo relied on. However, with Zhao Zhuo around, she didn't bother to think about it too much. She grasped Zhao Zhuo's arm and said: "Second brother, Luan wants to leave here, not even a moment longer."

  "Alright, Second Brother will take you and Mother away now."

  Su's eyes showed a hint of worry, "Shuo Er, this is a den of dragons and tigers, you absolutely must not be reckless. If it's really unbearable, just hold your breath for now."

  "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't do anything meaningless," Zhao Zhuo said with a shake of his head.

  The treasure tower was released, and Su Xiu and Zhao Luan entered the treasure tower. Only Zhao Zhuo was left on the small building above.

  Pushing open the door, a corpse suddenly fell over, Zhao Shuo stretched out his hand and gave it a push, and saw that the corpse floated gently down in front of the dresser.

  He scanned the entire building, Zhao Zhuo pointed with his hand, and a flame appeared instantly. At the same time, Zhao Zhuo's figure disappeared, and soon a fire burst into the sky.

  Although there were not many people in Luo Tong's cave, there were also not a few. The big fire had just started burning when it was discovered by someone.

  "It's on fire! Put out the fire quickly!"

  Obviously a small fire is nothing to the cultivators, but it caused many people to panic because it was the small building where Zhao Luan lived, not somewhere else.

  Anyone who can get in here is not a confidant of Luo Tong, and how much Luo Tong values Zhao Luan is obvious to the blind. Now that something has happened to Zhao Luan, it's no wonder that one by one, the cultivators are flustered and at a loss.

  The big fire had not spread completely before it quietly went out, and even the small building did not burn much.

  With a sweep of their divine sense, several cultivators were shocked to discover that the entire cave had lost the aura of both Zhao Lian and Su Hua, a discovery that was bound to leave one stunned.

  Almost at the same time, Luo Tong got up from the soft woman's body, his face was pale and he quickly put on his clothes and rushed out.

  "What the hell happened, who can tell me"

  Lu Tong let out a loud roar, on his own private turf, Lu Tong was in his element, unbridled and uninhibited, roaring loudly like a wild beast that had been provoked.

  The people around did not show a surprised expression, or to say that they all lowered their heads, trembling all over, fearing that Luo Tong's anger would be vented on themselves.

  Lu Tong was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly calmed down his furious thoughts. He took a deep breath and pointed at a man, saying: "You tell me, what's going on here?"

  The man who was poked by Luo Tong's finger trembled and hastily said, "Young Master, the mysterious fire at Cuixiu Building was fortunately discovered in time, and the big fire did not cause much loss. However... however, Young Madam has gone missing."

  Lu Tong slapped that person's face and said: "How did you guard, actually let her run out, are you all dead?"

  Venting his anger in his heart, Luo Tong shouted loudly: "Dongyun, Dongyun, where did you go!"

  The man with a red palm print still visible on his face spoke in a low voice: "Young Master, Winter Cloud is dead. Her body is inside the room of Cui Xiu Building, although it's badly burned, but it can be identified as Winter Cloud's corpse."

  At this time, Luo Tong had completely calmed down and frowned upon hearing the words: "Pass on my order to seal off the residence and send people to find out Zhao Luan and Su Xiu's whereabouts."

  Everyone hastily retreated, but one person stayed behind.

  Luotong faintly said: "Housekeeper, what do you think?"

  Luotong's butler was an old man who looked like he could be blown down by a gentle breeze, but who would have known that this frail-looking old man was actually a powerful warrior from the Return to Unity period, specially sent by Luotong's father to protect his safety.

  Luo Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "I have already investigated the cave and found nothing. The person guarding the entrance of the cave was killed by someone at some point, just like Dongyun, without even having time to take out his magic weapon before completely falling."

  His eyebrows twitched, and a cold glint flashed in Luo Tong's eyes: "The person who came can easily kill a high-ranking expert in the Divine Realm without making a sound. The opponent's cultivation is at least in the Return to One stage, and only strong Return to One stage cultivators can enter Sword Valley."

  Luo Ming didn't say much more, apparently he agreed with Luo Tong's words in his heart.

  With a slight cough, Luo Ming said: "Young Master Shao, tomorrow is the day of the grand wedding, but at this time Zhao Luan has gone missing, I don't know..."

  "Don't worry, the wedding will proceed as usual, I'll take care of it."

  Luo Ming nodded and said: "If Shaozong can handle it well, I will be at ease. Do you need me to tell the sect master?"

  "Please trouble the steward, someone has dared to trespass on our sect's forbidden land. If it is concealed, once Father finds out, he will surely be furious."

  Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhao Zhuo quietly slipped out of Sword Valley. When he returned to his residence, Bai Jingjing was already pacing back and forth anxiously.

  When she saw Zhao Zhuo's figure appear, Bai Jingyan finally let out a breath of relief, and the hanging heart slowly fell.

  "You're really too reckless, I'm worried to death"

  Zhao Duo suddenly pulled Bai Jing into his arms and laughed: "So you were worried about me, I'm fine, aren't I?"

  Suddenly a soft cry came: "Ah, second brother, this sister is really too beautiful, could she be the sister-in-law you found for me?"

  The sudden voice startled Bai Jing, and a figure flashed out of Zhao Zhuo's arms. Looking at the revealed figure of Zhao Luan, her pretty face turned bright red.

  At the same time, Su Xiu's voice came: "Luan'er, you're causing trouble again. Don't forget that this is Chongxiao Sect's territory, hurry back to me."

  Zhao Luan, who had just appeared, stuck out his tongue and quickly returned to the treasure tower. A clear voice came from within: "I got a bit too excited and forgot for a moment."

  Bai Jingyu faintly guessed the identity of the suddenly appearing girl and that gentle voice, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Zhao Zhuo.

  Zhao Duo shrugged and said: "Just now that was my little sister Luan'er and mother."

  "Jian Qi took a deep breath and said: 'Jian Qi has seen Aunt Bo and Luan Er's sister'"

  It's clear that Su Huan is extremely satisfied with Bai Jingjing, and he can't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, not to mention being surprised by Bai Jingjing's extraordinary appearance and temperament.

  A gentle voice came from the treasure tower: "Are you Miss Jing'er? Xiao'er just mentioned you to us, and indeed you are a good girl."

  I didn't expect Su Xiu to praise herself so directly, Bai Jing's face flushed with a red glow, looking embarrassed.

  A faint and elusive divine thought quickly swept over, lingering slightly on Zhao Suo and Bai Jing before disappearing.

  Zhao Duo cautiously put away the treasure tower and waited until that divine thought dissipated. Bai Jingjian said in a low voice, "It seems that someone from the Chuangzu Sect is looking for both of your mothers."

  Zhao Duo's eyes flashed with a cold light: "After I rescued my little sister and mother, I set fire to it, just to stir them up. Now it seems that the reaction of Chongxiao Sect is not slow, they have taken action so quickly."

  Just as he was speaking, He Lianbo and Liu Wushuang from next door let out a cold hum, and the two appeared in the courtyard where Zhao Shuo and Bai Jingqiu lived.

  They exchanged a glance, and Zhao Zhuo walked out, looking at He Lian Peng's angry face: "Brother He Lian, what's wrong? Who offended you?"

  Liu Wushuang's face still had a hint of spring, and unintentionally, one could even see faint kiss marks on her white neck, no need to think about what the two were doing just now.

  Suddenly, Zhao Xiao thought of that divine thought and understood why Helian Bo was so furious. To say nothing of Helian Bo, even if it were himself, when he was having a good time with his wife, someone suddenly released a divine thought to check on them, he would also be stimulated to scold loudly.

  It seems that they also knew they couldn't deceive Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jing's eyes, Liu Wushuang calmly said: "Let you see the joke"

  Bai Jingrui pulled Liu Wushuang to one side and spoke in a low voice, while Zhao Suo walked up to He Lianbo and said: "He Lian big brother, I know you're very angry, but there's a saying that makes a lot of sense - when under someone else's roof, how can one not bow their head? This is the territory of Chongxiang Sect, if they don't act wildly, who will?"

  Soon a burst of loud scolding voices came, and even women's screams were heard, the degree of chaos can be imagined.

  Zhao Duo's face showed a look of surprise, saying: "This... this Chongxiao Sect is really too blatant, doesn't it fear offending public anger?"

  Everyone has some secrets, and besides, many people are about to take a bath and rest. Men can be excused, but many women need to bathe, and the chaos caused by Zhong's several divine thoughts breaking through the air is imaginable.

  He snorted, and He Lianbo gritted his teeth: "It's really too much to deceive people. I, He Lianbo, have not finished with the Chongxiao Sect."

  Zhao Duo could hear the deep anger in Helian Bo's words, and without thinking, he knew that this time Helian Bo was really furious.

  Zhao Zhuo's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile as he said, "I wonder what happened at Chongxiao Sect that made their people so flustered."

  He Lianbo's eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Suo say that: "Yes, what exactly happened? Could it be that the mountain-securing treasure of Chongxiao Sect was stolen?"

  It seems that he himself also felt that his idea was a bit absurd, so Helian Bo shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be the case, if it were, I'm afraid countless disciples of the Chongxiao Sect would have rushed in to search by now."

  Zhao Duo smiled and said: "Is Helian Big Brother unable to swallow that breath from just now?"

  He Lianbo looked at Zhao Zhuo and said: "What's wrong, little brother has a way to let me vent?"

  "The new book is on the shelves, those who can subscribe should subscribe, and if there are flowers, they must be thrown. Flowers are the driving force for explosion, at least 300,000 words will explode, let's make it more intense!"
