64: Chapter 64 First Arrival at the Xie Family, Brother-in-Law!

Ten days later, Lifeng Plain, Luo Wei's residence.

"Bang!"

A loud crash echoed as the door was violently kicked open. Luo Wei rushed into the room with hurried steps and immediately shouted at the woman who was drinking tea by the window!

"Wife! Quick! Stop drinking! Pack your valuables immediately; we must leave here right now, as fast as possible!"

His wife, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties, was so startled by the sudden commotion that her hand shook, spilling tea onto her skirt.

"Leave? Husband, what happened?"

"The Ding Siblings... they, they have likely failed!"

"Failed?! How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, the teacup in his wife's hand hit the table with a "clatter" and shattered instantly.

"How is it possible?! Boss Ding is at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, and his sister is also an expert at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining. With the two of them working together, and bringing..."

"How is it not possible!"

Luo Wei interrupted her irritably and paced back and forth in the room!

"The agreement stated there would be a response within ten days at the latest; it has now been fifteen full days!"

"There is absolutely no news! Look at the Chen Family; it is calm and peaceful, as if nothing has ever happened. Doesn't that explain everything?!"

As he spoke, his voice grew quieter.

"That Chen Family... must be hiding some extremely terrifying means. Even The Ding Siblings fell into their hands..."

Upon hearing this, his wife's voice began to tremble slightly!

"If... if the Chen Family knows that we were the ones behind it... then we..."

"We will definitely die!"

Luo Wei replied decisively!

"But... but what about Elder Yu?"

"If we run away, after the incident comes to light, Elder Yu will never let us off!"

"We can't worry about that now!"

Luo Wei gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashing across his face!

"How ruthless is that old devil Yu? I failed to handle this matter properly this time; not only did I fail to eliminate the Chen Family as planned, but I also alerted the enemy. If word gets to his ears, you and I will have no way out either! Since we are doomed either way, we might as well take a gamble and hide far away!"

At this point, Luo Wei suddenly turned to look at his wife!

"Besides, the Red Sand Gang might not even last until the day it comes to light!"

"But! Run? Where can we run to?"

Luo Wei immediately lowered his voice!

"Didn't the gang recently discover a High Grade fire copper vein? The location is remote, and they are looking for people to guard it. I will volunteer to go there! It is far away from everything; not only can we avoid the Chen Family's influence, but we can also temporarily avoid Elder Yu's notice!"

"As for the rest, we will take it one step at a time."

...

Red Willow Lagoon, Lingxi Dock, the Xie Family grounds.

This place is located above a High Grade Spiritual Vein. The climate is mild, and the air is filled with mist. Compared to the wind, snow, and frost of the Lifeng Plain, it is truly a different world.

At this moment, Chen Qingyuan, who had traveled eight thousand miles, looked at the expanse of water ahead and felt the faint fluctuations of a Formation.

His travel-worn face was filled with a look of relief.

"Finally arrived..."

Unfortunately, now is not the time to relax.

He carefully straightened his slightly disheveled robes, then circulated his Spiritual Qi, and spoke toward the empty water ahead!

"Junior Chen Qingyuan from Lifeng Plain has come specifically to pay a visit to the head of the Xie Family!"

His voice, infused with Spiritual Qi, passed through the Formation.

Before long, the scene ahead changed. The boundless water gradually dissipated, and in its place was a complex of pavilions.

Two Disciples dressed in Xie Family attire walked out from the Formation. They first looked at Chen Qingyuan with some curiosity, then politely cupped their hands!

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while we go and report to our Family head."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists." Chen Qingyuan cupped his hands in return.

Before long, one of the Disciples returned, looking at Chen Qingyuan a few more times with a strange expression.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please come in!"

The tone was no longer as polite and kind as before.

Chen Qingyuan's expression did not change, as if he had not sensed the change in the Xie Family Disciple's tone at all, and followed him into the Formation.

The scene before his eyes changed again; Spiritual fields and pavilions were clearly visible!

The ground beneath his feet turned into a bluestone path. On both sides, vegetation flourished, streams babbled, and rich Spiritual Qi rushed toward him.

"Little Six, who is this?"

After walking just a few steps, a middle-aged man put down his spiritual hoe, curiously leaned in, and asked!

The Xie Family Disciple leading the way did not shy away; he leaned into the man's ear and whispered for a long time.

It wasn't until Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but rub his forehead in embarrassment that the whispering ended.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man, who had just been full of gossip, glared fiercely at Chen Qingyuan and walked away, and immediately, he was surrounded by curious Xie Family members.

"I'm afraid this guy didn't say anything good!"

Just as he was thinking this!

Suddenly, a beam of sword light shot out from the side, stabbing straight at his shoulder!

Chen Qingyuan's expression suddenly sharpened. His Divine Sense at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining swept over instantly, but he was filled with confusion.

This sword light came suddenly and was sharp, but it held no killing intent, and the controller's cultivation was only at the Third Level of Qi Refining.

At the same time.

Glancing at the Xie Family Disciple leading the way, he saw that the other party seemed completely unaware, continuing to lead the way without looking aside, his footsteps not even pausing for a moment.

Chen Qingyuan immediately understood.

The right hand that had originally reached toward his qinglin sword paused slightly, and he changed his mind.

He did not draw his sword, nor did he use any Magical Artifact. He simply took a step back, shifted slightly to the rear side, and the sharp sword light brushed past his clothes by a hair's breadth.

Just as the sword light brushed past his side, Chen Qingyuan flicked his right index finger, precisely tapping the blade of the sword!

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. The Flying Sword seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, let out a whine, flew backward, and stuck into the spiritual field in the distance.

Chen Qingyuan looked closely and saw that the attacker was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, with acne marks on his face!

At this moment, he was staring at him fiercely with a pair of angry eyes.

"Bastard! You are that dead playboy from Lifeng Plain? And you still want to marry my sister!"

The boy's voice wasn't loud, but he tried hard to look fierce!

"I'm warning you, if you're sensible, go find my grandfather and call off the engagement immediately! Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you!"

Chen Qingyuan was stunned by the scolding at first, then suddenly realized, and was momentarily left speechless and amused!

"Wow... could this be that 'brother-in-law' I've never met?"
