Supreme Return

Chapter 22 The past, Cai Susu!
After hearing Chu Xuan's question, especially the majesty contained in the words, Xue Fei couldn't help trembling in his heart, but his expression was even more hesitant.

He obviously has something on his mind...

Chu Xuan didn't speak, but Zhou Hu beside him was quite upset.

From Zhou Hu's point of view, his young master was good enough to Xue Fei and the entire Sharp Blade Mercenary Group, but he was still hiding it. It was obvious that he didn't trust the young master and Zhou Hu!
"Old Xue!"

Couldn't bear it anymore, Zhou Hu said in a deep voice, "Since you have decided to follow the young master, you should be quick! Could it be that you just want to use the young master to resist the green python mercenary group? If that's the case, then I, Zhou Hu I'm blind, I want to be your friend!"

If Zhou Hu is said to be the most respected, respected, and loyal person, it must be Chu Xuan!
To say something disrespectful, in his heart, even Emperor Zhao Qingtian and King Chu Xiaotian could not compare with Chu Xuan.

"Brother Zhou, I..."

Xue Fei opened his mouth, his expression of hesitation became more obvious, and he seemed to be about to say it several times, but he held him back again, which made Zhou Hu even more anxious, wishing to beat Xue Fei a few times... …

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force it!"

Chu Xuan signaled Zhou Hu to be calm, and then slowly said to Xue Fei, "However, from now on, your sharp blades will have nothing to do with my Baibaoxuan!"

"Master..."

Xue Fei was really anxious when he heard this.

Baibaoxuan has been regarded by him as the source of life for everyone in the Sharp Blade Mercenary Group, especially some time ago, it not only provided them with enough food and drink, but also provided some children in the group with a good education. Everyone has already regarded Baibaoxuan as their home!
"Although I've always been adhering to the principle of 'employing people without suspicion, doubting people', I don't want to be used like a fool!" Chu Xuan said lightly.

"Master, I... I don't mean I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you and Brother Zhou will be hurt!"

Xue Fei smiled wryly, and said, "The Green Mang Mercenary Group is one of the seven high-level mercenary groups, and its strength is also listed in the top three among the high-level mercenary groups!"

"You don't need to say these..."

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "I know the strength of Qing Mang very well! However, I don't pay attention to it!"

"..."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Xue Fei couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

"Do not believe?"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, but Xue Fei shook his head again and again. He had experienced many people or things, but Chu Xuan was the only person he really couldn't understand. Xue Fei knew in his heart that what he understood now Everything about Chu Xuan is probably not enough.

"Okay, young master, since you want to know, then I won't hide it!"

Taking a deep breath, Xue Fei said in a deep voice, "Actually, this matter dates back to several years ago. At that time, although our Blade Mercenary Group was not powerful, it was not weak either. Good reputation, but suddenly we received a mysterious mission!"

"Mysterious mission?"

Chu Xuan was taken aback when he heard the words, Xue Fei nodded, and continued, "Yes, it was that mysterious mission that made our mercenary regiment pay the lives of all the masters, and I was lucky enough to stay here because I wanted to stay behind. Life!"

"In the end, I spent a lot of effort and spent almost all the money in the regiment, only to find out that the mysterious mission was actually issued by the Green Python Mercenary Group, in order to let us use the sharp blade as a spy for them. Lu Shi, be cannon fodder!"

"But they didn't expect that our regiment leader had expected it, and put a very important thing XZ in one place before he died, and the reason why they dealt with us like this is because of that thing!"

Speaking of this, Xue Fei's eyes turned red with anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and the breath all over his body became more and more crazy.

"Meow……"

Xiao Bai, who was playing on his own at the side, also noticed this, and growled at Xue Fei, with a look of vigilance in his smart eyes.

Chu Xuan waved at her, and the little guy continued playing with himself.

But at this time, Zhou Hu asked, "Old Xue, do you know what that is?"

"I know! It's a jade pendant, but it's a bit strange!"

Now that he said this, Xue Fei didn't intend to hide it any longer. He nodded and gestured with his hands, and said, "It's about a rectangle, with the length and width about twice as long. There is a strange feeling of warmth and coldness in the hand. And the most important thing is that the jade pendant calms down and makes people feel very comfortable!"

"Oh?"

Chu Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Is there any special pattern or pattern on it?"

"Well... yes, but I can't understand it!" Xue Fei recalled and said.

"Could it really be..."

Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about it, and looked a little surprised.

"Master, do you know what that is?" Zhou Hu asked curiously.

"How could I possibly know?"

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, since we've said it, let's do it like this! Zhou Hu, ask people to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Qingmang mercenary group, there's no way they won't retaliate!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhou Hu respectfully agreed, then glanced at Xue Fei, and said hesitantly, "Then old Xue..."

"Let 36 Tiangang be divided into four groups, stationed here and their side respectively, and wait for the green python mercenary group to take action!" Chu Xuan mused.

"If you don't follow my advice and just kill them, I won't believe it. A mere green python mercenary group dares to be arrogant with us!" Zhou Hu said.

"..."

Hearing Zhou Hu's words, Xue Fei's expression changed immediately.

But before he could say anything, Chu Xuan glared, causing Zhou Hu to shut up immediately, and he didn't dare to say any more.

"Okay, I'll go back first! Clean up here and reopen tomorrow!"

Chu Xuan said, waved to Xiaobai, and then walked away slowly, leaving Xue Fei with a hesitant expression on his face.

He still has something to say!
…………

On the other side, in a certain manor on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

A beautiful young woman walked straight to a certain courtyard of the manor amidst the respect of many servants.

"Grandpa, grandpa..."

The young woman directly pushed open the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly.

The voice startled the old man who was sipping tea in the courtyard, his hand holding the hot tea trembled, almost scalding it.

This old man is none other than the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, Emperor Teacher Cai Quan.

The young woman was Cai Quan's only granddaughter, and she was also Cai Susu who had been pestering Chu Xuan on the street to buy Xiaobai.

"Susu, you've been crazy enough outside, you finally know you're back?"

Seeing that it was his granddaughter, Cai Quan heaved a sigh of relief, but then complained, "Look at you, you are always so busy, you almost let Grandpa and I waste such a good tea!"

"Oh, grandpa..."

Cai Susu walked up to Cai Quan, grabbed the teacup and took a sip, curling her lips and said, "What's so good about this thing? It's bitter and astringent, it's too bad to drink!"

"You girl, you don't understand anything! His Majesty specially prepared this for me, and it's only half a catty in total! It's just that little, and it won't be exchanged for a thousand gold if you put it outside!" Cai Quan said.

"cut……"

Miao Susu continued to curl her lips, "How could it be so expensive? Besides, isn't there still in the palace? At worst, let His Majesty send some more!"

"You..."

Cai Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "This cloud sea jade leaf is only three catties in the palace, and His Majesty is usually not willing to drink it himself!"

That's right, what Cai Quan drank was the sea of ​​clouds and jade leaves that Chu Xuan brought back this time!

It is moistened with spiritual energy, and Chu Xuan personally did it when frying...

Although this cloud sea jade leaf can't be said to prolong life, it does have a very magical effect, which can make people feel peaceful, especially if you drink a cup before practicing martial arts or practicing magic, it can improve the efficiency of cultivation!

This point is only clear to those who really drink it into their mouths.

"Humph!"

Cai Susu wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, hummed and sat down, then turned her head away, with a very unhappy look on her face.

As for Cai Quan, he continued to sip the tea with his eyes closed, and waited until more than ten minutes passed. He finished the cup of hot tea carefully, and took out the used tea leaves to wait for his next research, before turning his head. Looking at Cai Susu...

This girl is usually crazy and often not at home, but she never seems to be so depressed.

"Girl, what's the matter? Could it be that you were bullied outside, and now you want to go home to find grandpa?" Cai Quan stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

Of course, all the slightly famous officials or figures in the entire imperial capital knew of Miao Susu's existence.All along, she was the one who bullied others, how could she be bullied?
But this time, after hearing Cai Quan's words, Cai Susu pouted and snorted softly, "It's just being bullied! Grandpa, you know how to make fun of people, and you don't even try to comfort them!"

"what?"

Cai Quan froze suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Girl, what's going on? Who bullied you?"

"Grandpa, it's like this..."

Cai Susu bit her lip, and immediately told the story of meeting Chu Xuan on the street and being rejected repeatedly when she wanted to buy Xiaobai, which made Cai Quan laugh out loud.

"Grandpa, are you still laughing?"

While speaking, Cai Susu grabbed Cai Quan's beard in embarrassment and snorted, "If you laugh at me again, be careful that I will tear off all your beard! Humph!"

"Okay, okay, isn't it okay if grandpa doesn't laugh anymore? I just didn't expect that there is really someone who can handle our little witch, haha..."

She said she didn't laugh, but she still laughed so happily, which made Cai Susu yell in disobedience.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you! I'll go back and rest!"

Cai Susu yanked off a handful of beards, causing Cai Quan to howl in pain, but she got up and went back to the room, and closed the door with a bang, leaving only Cai Quan clutching his chin, With a wry smile all over his face.

"its not right!"

Suddenly, Cai Quan seemed to think of something, and said in surprise, "The young man the girl mentioned just now seems to be a bit like Shizi? But how could Shizi escape from the girl's hands? Isn't he an ordinary person?"
