Madam Supreme

Chapter 41 Meeting you is the luck of my three lifetimes

With the earth dragon beast by their side, neither of them met a single monster along the way, and they drove on the road with ease.

Speaking of which, An Ran entered the Dark Forest twice in total, and basically never ran into even a harmless monster, so she couldn't help but sigh.

Talking about this matter with Xia Chi, the latter was also quite surprised.

The two walked very quickly, and they were about to leave the forest in a short while.

At this time, they heard the faint voice of someone talking not far away.

"X, it's really evil! Why didn't you meet a monster along the way?"

"Don't be scared away by those fierce men from the Cheng family, right?"

There was a burst of laughter, and another person said: "This may not be true. After all, they are facing an earth dragon beast. It is amazing to be able to retreat unscathed! I heard that in addition to the death of some people whose cultivation base is too low, those who are above the eighth level of body training Basically everything is fine, not even injured!"

Hearing the other party mentioned the Cheng family, An Ran frowned and slowed down her pace.

Through the gaps between the trees and branches, she could clearly see the costumes of the other party. They were warriors who came to the dark forest in a team. There were about seven or eight people, and their average cultivation was around the sixth level of body training.

These people generally wander around the outside of the dark forest, not going too deep.

Their conversation continues.

"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange? Why did the Cheng family suddenly organize people to hunt in the dark forest?"

"Didn't you say it was aimed at the eggs laid by the earth dragon beast?"

"Fart, do you believe this too? Who doesn't know that the Cheng family started to buy the furs and body parts of clouded leopards, purple electric foxes, and other kinds of monsters in large quantities a week ago. The prices are very high. Gao, it’s clearly in urgent need! That’s why I went hunting in the forest! By the way, those who were hired by Cheng’s family came to make trouble a few days ago and were severely repaired, you know that? Let me tell you, then It was instigated by the Li family! I see something wrong here."

"Don't be blind, is it true?"

"My buddy told me himself! He was hired by the Cheng family. Could it be false? Speaking of which, if there is no support behind, who would dare to trouble the Cheng family?" The man lowered his voice as he spoke, " I heard that people from the Li family assured them that Patriarch Cheng and the others will die in the dark forest."

"Hey, really?"

"The Li family really dare to do it!"

"By the way, I heard that after Master Cheng and the others entered the forest, those high-level members of the Li family also disappeared! Could the two have been..."

"Yeah, I heard that they haven't come back yet, tell me, could they be the Cheng family..."

The voice disappeared, and then someone said: "Impossible, right? Li Yue is also Jiutian Jiuzhong."

"Can he compare with Patriarch Cheng? Besides, the Dark Forest is so big, who knows what happened!"

"You deserve what happened, right? The Li family doesn't do things as well as the Cheng family, and the prices of easy-to-sell goods are always lowered to death. Let me tell you, the last time I went to sell..."

The next step is to complain and complain.

An Ran didn't continue to listen, and made a gesture with Xia Chi, and wanted to take a detour to leave.

As soon as she turned around, a sentence rang in her ears: "It is said that someone is behind the Li family. I think it is true. The Li family has been rich and powerful recently, and they have hit the Cheng family's business to death. Hey, The materials going out of the dark forest are all purchased by the Li family and the Cheng family's market, and the hundred families don't care about this, if the Cheng family is really ruined by the Li family, we people will be miserable in the future!"

An Ran's footsteps stopped immediately.

The situation in the valley was urgent, and she didn't even have time to ask her grandfather why he brought people into the forest.

Originally, she only thought that this was a plot by the Li family to get rid of the Cheng family, but now, this sentence woke her up.

If the Li family alone could push the Cheng family to such a point, the Cheng family would have ceased to exist long ago!Still have to wait until now?
If the evenly matched situation is broken, there must be someone from the other side stationed there, and who is that person, An Ran has the answer in mind.

The First Prince, Xia Lin!

But, why did he help the Li family deal with the Cheng family?There's no reason why he would take action against the small fights of the subordinates.In fact, even Xia Lin was a little unbelievable that she would like Li Ruoqian.

To put it harshly, with Li Ruoqian's family background and appearance, if there is no other reason, even if he died in front of Xia Lin, he would not take a second look.

That is another reason!

She glanced at Xia Chi and hooked her hands: "Come with me."

She stepped forward to the left, and Xia Chi followed closely. After walking a long enough distance, An Ran stopped: "What is the relationship between Xia Lin and the Li family, do you know?"

Xia Chi was taken aback by her question: "I don't know, is there a relationship between them?"

An Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that it was useless to ask Xia Chi, it seemed that she had to check it when she went back.

Xia Chi came to his senses at this moment: "Are you suspecting that he took action against the Cheng family?"

"It's not doubt, it's certainty." An Ran replied coldly. "Go back and check for me. I want to know whether he is targeting the Cheng family or just helping the Li family."

But no matter what the reason is, An Ran only recognizes one thing, that is, Xia Lin made a move on the Cheng family!

She would not let anyone who attacked the Cheng family go easily!

What's more, this time, if she hadn't returned in time, grandpa and uncle might have died in the dark forest, and Cheng Yi and Cheng Xi would have died too!

"I see." Xia Chi replied cautiously. In his heart, he had the same question as An Ran: With Xia Lin's power and status, how could he help the Li family?Could it be that he came for himself?

In a blink of an eye, he thought that he was hunted down in the dark forest this time. Did the Li family plan to kill two birds with one stone from the beginning?While getting rid of the Cheng family, he also killed him by the way?Otherwise, the timing of their appearance is too coincidental.

However, judging from Li Yue's reaction at the time, it didn't look like he had recognized himself long ago.

An Ran also asked at this time: "You were hunted down this time, what happened?"

"I don't know either. Since I was promoted to the Houtian Realm, the effect of practicing in the academy has become less effective. I come to the Gloomy Forest to stay for a while every day, hunting monsters and honing my fighting skills." Xia Chi replied.

"Alone every time?"

"No, there are people around me who secretly protect me, it was my father's request, but the attack at that time came suddenly, and it was premeditated, and everyone around me died in battle." Xia Chi whispered, "My life It was Uncle Qi who desperately saved it."

When he said this, his voice became cold, "If it weren't for that old thief Li Yue, Uncle Qi wouldn't have died at all, and we can go back safely!"

After saying that, he slammed his fist hard at the tree trunk beside him.The leaves fell down, forming a thick layer on the ground.

An Ran pulled his bloody right hand and waved a cure, her voice was cold: "If you have self-mutilation, save it to deal with the enemy! Let's go! Go back."

Xia Chi didn't speak, but his body relaxed obviously.

"Let's go." An Ran turned around and walked back.

Looking at her back gradually hidden in the greenery, Xia Chi's eyes flashed a trace of tenderness.

He lowered his eyes and murmured softly, "Junior Junior Sister, meeting you is the luck of my three lives."

An Ran turned her head inadvertently, and saw the long grass under the canopy that covered the sky and the sun, the warblers sang and the birds sang, and the man standing on the tree was as moist as the wind, with gentle eyes and brows, as if years were like water, only after years.

Bewildered by such a beautiful scene, she was stunned for a long time before she frowned and shouted, "Why don't you follow up?"

"Ah."

They left the dark forest all the way without any accidents, and the two separated at the gate of the city.

Xia Chi was going to the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, he could no longer hide his identity. Without exposing the dragon beast, he had to rely on the power of the City Lord's Mansion to protect himself and at the same time get in touch with his father.

Since he no longer intends to do nothing, Xia Chi has too many things to do.

An Ran went straight back to Cheng Mansion.

When the servant who opened the door saw her, he shouted excitedly: "Second Miss! It's Second Miss who has returned!"

The servant's voice was so loud that it almost filled the front yard.

Cheng Zhongtian and the others were having dinner in the dining room, but they hadn't returned safely, they were all worried and didn't know what to eat.The table was full of dishes, but no one took a few bites, just picking up the rice mechanically.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Xi wanted to ask a few times, but seeing their grandfather and father's tired and gloomy faces, they couldn't ask any more questions.

It was just vaguely, and I guessed a bad result in my heart.

Cheng Xi almost ate his food with tears in his mouth.

"Bah..." the servant on duty pushed open the door, and before Cheng Zhongtian got angry, he reported out of breath: "Patriarch, Second Miss...Second Miss..."

"Bah..." Cheng Lin's chopsticks fell to the ground, he stood up suddenly, came to the servant like the wind, grabbed him and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the second miss?"

"I'm back!" The servant finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Second Miss is back!"

Cheng Lin left him and rushed out, and the other person was faster than him.

In a blink of an eye, Cheng Zhongtian's figure came out of the atrium.

"But girl!"

As soon as An Ran stepped into the front yard, she saw Cheng Zhongtian standing at the entrance of the corridor passing through the atrium, his lips trembling slightly, and his expression was startled but happy.

She smiled slightly and called out, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

"Okay, okay!" Cheng Zhongtian said with tears in his eyes, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi and Cheng Xi also rushed over, and they were naturally very excited to meet each other.

It was Cheng Zhongtian who noticed An Ran's tired face and drove everyone away with a big wave of his hand. Before leaving, An Ran stopped him and said, "Grandpa, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

About Xia Lin and Xia Chi, she felt that she should explain to Cheng Zhongtian, so that he could be prepared.

"Okay. Let's go to grandpa's room." Cheng Zhongtian thought for a while, and brought An Ran to the secret room in his room.

"Okay, tell grandpa, what's the matter? By the way, why did you come back alone, senior?" Cheng Zhongtian remembered that he didn't see Yun Lie.

"He's gone." An Ran replied, and then changed the subject, telling about Xia Lin's support behind the Li family, and revealing Xia Chi's identity at the same time.

Cheng Zhongtian frowned when he heard this, "It turned out to be like this. Recently, the family's business has been hit frequently, but we can't find out who did it. It's just why the eldest prince is helping the Li family like this?"

"I have entrusted Xia Chi to investigate this, and I believe there will be clues soon." An Ran changed the subject and said, "Regardless of whether the Li family has the support of the eldest prince or not, we must not let them go this time! Grandpa, Li Yue and the others all died in the dark forest, and now the Li family is only a shell, we must stop future troubles forever!"

What he said was murderous.

Li Yue and the others all died in the dark forest. Everyone in the Li family knew that they were going to deal with Cheng Zhongtian and the others, so there was no guarantee that they would not blame the Cheng family for this matter.Now that the two families have reached the point where they can't stop dying, they might as well just keep doing nothing. If they really wait until the Li family gets over their breath and have sex with the Cheng family, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Cheng Zhongtian obviously thought so too, and immediately said firmly, "I'll do it tomorrow."

　On request, double updates are recommended on Tuesday
