207: Chapter 207 The Arrival of the Two Women

"Junior Sister, let's go together!" Walking out of the hall, Zhang Hongyue said to Shen Hongdou.

"No need, Senior Sister, I want to act alone!"

Shen Hongdou said hesitantly.

"Alright then, since Junior Sister wants to act alone, I won't disturb you!" Zhang Hongyue didn't press the issue.

However, after Shen Hongdou walked out of the large residence, she secretly followed her.

Unfortunately, to her disappointment, she followed for a full hour and didn't see Shen Hongdou meeting anyone in secret.

"Could I have guessed wrong?"

Zhang Hongyue thought to herself.

In fact, she didn't know that Shen Hongdou had no intention of meeting Chen Hu, but was using her hearing, which far exceeded that of an ordinary person, to gather information about Chen Hu.

Chen Hu was currently just the leader of a Gang.

But his reputation was very prominent; not to mention, he was the number one expert in Linjiang Prefecture City and the leader of the strongest Gang.

Recently, he had ordered people to set up porridge stalls outside the city to relieve many refugees who were on the verge of starvation, which also brought him quite a good reputation.

Therefore, there were quite a few people talking about him.

After finding a random restaurant to have lunch.

Shen Hongdou continued to inquire about news of Chen Hu.

While passing by a teahouse, she heard a storyteller narrating Chen Hu's story.

Thus, she hesitated slightly before walking into the teahouse.

She ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks, listening with great interest as the storyteller recounted the story of Chen Hu accepting a challenge from another Prodigy on the hidden dragon ranking, Ye Han.

In reality, the process of Chen Hu fighting Ye Han was very brief.

But in the storyteller's mouth, it turned into a battle of hundreds of rounds.

Yet, the people listening on the scene were listening with great interest.

This, however, was miserable for Zhang Hongyue, who was tracking Shen Hongdou.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "This stinky girl, the Elder told her to come out to gather information, yet she ran here to listen to stories."

After thinking about it, she left.

On the other side.

On the official road from Lingzhou to Linjiang Prefecture, there were also two steeds galloping.

And the two riders on horseback were young, stunningly beautiful women.

"Eldest Sister, how much longer until we arrive?"

Zhao Feifei asked.

The horses they were riding were both top-tier steeds, capable of traveling over two thousand li a day.

The two sisters had been traveling since morning.

During this time, they even fed the two steeds Medicinal Pills; otherwise, even top-tier steeds could not have persisted for this long.

"Rest assured, we will definitely arrive before the city gates close!" Zhao Hongxue said with a firm tone.

"After we enter the Prefecture City, are we going to see him directly?"

Zhao Feifei asked again.

Zhao Hongxue said: "Of course not, we are so travel-worn, how can we go see younger brother Chen Hu like this? It won't be too late to go after we clean up at an inn!"

"Eldest Sister, do you really think that this younger brother Chen Hu was lost by accident? I feel it's not that simple!" Zhao Feifei asked tentatively.

"If Mother says so, then it is!"

Zhao Hongxue said in a deep voice.

"Alright, it's my fault, I shouldn't have doubted Mother!"

Zhao Feifei immediately admitted her mistake, while thinking to herself: "I wonder if Eldest Sister and Second Sister, as well as Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister, seem to know the truth?"

Living together day and night, she had learned of the experiences of her four sisters.

All of their families had been wiped out by bandits or enemies.

Yet, the five sisters had survived and were coincidentally met by Manor Master Zhao Jiansheng and his wife, who adopted them.

Moreover, all five sisters had joined Mingjian Villa within one year.

Even more coincidentally, all five of them had quite good talent, reaching the Earth-grade.

With so many coincidences, how could they all be coincidences?

Therefore, after she came of age, a terrifying conjecture grew in her heart.

It was just that she didn't dare to expose the thoughts in her heart casually.

After all, Mingjian Villa was one of the top ten powers in Lingzhou, and its overall strength was much stronger than the other three Sects.

Not only was the old Manor Master in the Blood Refining Realm, but their foster father was as well.

And their foster father's sworn brother, Zhao Wuji, was also in the Blood Refining Realm.

And what about the five sisters?

Even the strongest among them, the Eldest Sister, was only in the Marrow Refining Realm.

Even if the five sisters joined forces, they couldn't shake a hair of Mingjian Villa.

Therefore, the best method was to pretend to know nothing and then lie low to improve their strength.

Once they had the strength, then they would investigate the truth.

Near evening.

Zhao Hongxue and Zhao Feifei finally entered the city before the city gates closed.

They first found an inn to wash up, then changed into a new set of clothes.

Then they headed towards Chen Hu's home.

Before heading to Linjiang Prefecture, Qin Shuangyu had already told them Chen Hu's residential address.

"Knock knock!"

The servant who opened the door saw the two beautiful young ladies and quickly asked: "Who are you two looking for?"

"Please announce us, we are Chen Hu's foster sisters, here to pay a visit!"

Zhao Hongxue said with a smile.

"Please wait a moment, young ladies, I will go report this immediately."

Chen Hu, who was waiting to eat in the backyard, heard the maid's report and couldn't help but think of the intelligence that had been revealed early in the morning.

Thus, he ordered the maid to lead those two cheap foster sisters to the reception hall in the middle courtyard.

Not long after.

Chen Hu arrived at the reception hall.

The two women, who had just sat down, immediately stood up upon seeing him arrive, and at the same time, were sizing him up with their eyes.

Seeing the number above Zhao Hongxue's head.

Chen Hu immediately understood that the connection card revealed last night had actually manifested on Zhao Hongxue.

"Younger brother Chen Hu, hello, I am Zhao Hongxue, your eldest foster sister!"

"Hello younger brother Chen Hu, I am Zhao Feifei, your third sister!"

"Please sit, you two!"

Chen Hu said indifferently.

At the same time, he activated his Eye of Insight.

The identity information and cultivation information of the two women also appeared in his mind.

Zhao Hongxue's cultivation was Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm, and her original friendliness was 60 points; this was brought about by the connection card.

But after meeting, it soared directly to 65 points.

It was likely because she saw that he was quite handsome.

As for Zhao Feifei's friendliness, it was quite low, only a mere 2 points.

Regarding this, Chen Hu was very suspicious.

Even if Zhao Feifei hadn't confirmed that the couple, Manor Master Zhao Jiansheng and Qin Shuangyu, had wiped out her entire family, she still had suspicions.

After all, he was the biological son of Manor Master Zhao Jiansheng and Qin Shuangyu.

"Younger brother Chen Hu, we came this time to resolve the misunderstanding between you and our foster mother, and to welcome you back to Mingjian Villa!" Zhao Hongxue said gently.

"A misunderstanding?"

Chen Hu smiled playfully: "What did that woman say?"

Hearing Chen Hu refer to Qin Shuangyu as "that woman," Zhao Feifei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she thought to herself: "It seems Chen Hu has quite a bit of resentment towards Qin Shuangyu!"

Zhao Hongxue said again: "Foster Mother said that after she and our foster father gave birth to you, because they were not yet married, it was inconvenient to bring you back to Mingjian Villa, so they fostered you with a family. Later, when they sent people to search for you, you and that family were both gone. Over these years, they have not given up on searching for you!"

"You have all been deceived by her!"

Chen Hu shook his head: "I was directly abandoned by that couple!"

"Why?" Zhao Feifei asked.

"That's impossible!" Zhao Hongxue shouted.

Chen Hu continued: "When I was born, my talent was only a Mortal Body. If they had brought me back to Mingjian Villa, it would have affected Qin Shuangyu joining Mingjian Villa, and it would also have affected Manor Master Zhao Jiansheng inheriting the position of Manor Master."

"Therefore, the best method was to throw me away and act as if they had never given birth to this son."

"Then how do you know?" Zhao Hongxue seemed unwilling to believe that her foster father and mother could do such a thing.

"I was precocious; I had memories from the moment I was born, so I heard with my own ears how they discussed how to throw me away!" Chen Hu said calmly.

In a Xuanhuan world, possessing precocity was not considered a strange occurrence.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Hu's account, the two women almost believed it.
