121: Zhao Qi's changes

This aura swept across the entire Mount Wangyun, and the various Saints of the Su Family arrived at the location where the aura had erupted at the same time.

The summit of Mount Wangyun.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes filled with surprise: "This... is actually a bit unexpected for me."

At this moment.

The waist of Mount Wangyun.

A group of Su Family powerhouses arrived together, their eyes filled with solemnity. Judging from the aura just now, it was at least at the Saint level, and the aura was very unfamiliar.

The Su Family had actually been infiltrated by a Saint-level individual without anyone noticing.

Su Yunpeng's expression was somewhat unsightly; he was responsible for managing the security of the Su Family, but now a Saint-level powerhouse had directly infiltrated, which was simply too much of a dereliction of duty.

However, Mount Wangyun had Formations set up; who could possibly evade the Formations and the eyes and ears of so many powerhouses to enter the Su Family?

Moreover, Su Chen was currently guarding it!

"Wait, this is..."

Su He looked ahead, his expression shocked: "Isn't that the Fenghan Mountain Secret Realm?"

The Fenghan Mountain Secret Realm was the Su Family's penal Secret Realm. Since its founding, only one person had ever been imprisoned inside, and that was Zhao Wanwan's younger brother, Zhao Qi.

Although the Su Family's penal laws were strict, as long as you didn't commit a fundamental offense, they were generally treated leniently.

In the nearly one hundred years that had passed, those who committed offenses in the Su Family were either too severe, resulting in direct execution, or having their cultivation crippled and being expelled from the Su Family.

Or they were too minor and didn't require the use of these penal Secret Realms at all.

What!

The others were all quite surprised. The Fenghan Mountain Secret Realm was the Su Family's penal Secret Realm; when had a Saint-level powerhouse snuck in?

The next moment.

That aura emanated from the Fenghan Mountain Secret Realm once more, and an intensely cold wind blew out. Even the people present felt a bone-chilling cold.

Even the few who were Saints were no exception.

"This aura..."

Behind Su Yuanba, Zhao Wanwan's expression was somewhat solemn.

She always felt this aura was very familiar.

Immediately after, the Fenghan Mountain Secret Realm opened, and icy cold winds blew out, cold enough to make people shiver.

This coldness was not just aimed at the body; it was as if one's spirit had also fallen into a world of ice and snow.

The cold air even caused frost to form across the entire Mount Wangyun.

Su Qingyun's expression shocked, a terrifying aura emanated from his body, and he said with a murderous look:

"Which Fellow Daoist is this? Mount Wangyun is the territory of my Su Family. Entering without even saying hello is a bit impolite, is it not?"

As his voice fell, a figure dressed in white slowly walked out from within. He was handsome, his body covered in layers of frost, and his eyes were filled with icy coldness, as if he possessed not a shred of emotion.

A chill radiated from him, giving everyone present goosebumps.

Even Su Yuanba and the others, who possessed Saint Physiques, felt an extremely strong threat.

This... is not a Saint Physique!

As holders of Saint Physiques, they were extremely sensitive to special Physiques, and they detected an incredibly terrifying Bloodline Power on this person.

This is a Physique above the Saint Physique!

Could it be an Imperial Physique!

The group's expressions were all extremely solemn; they all felt an extremely strong threat from this person.

The moment Zhao Wanwan saw this person, her eyes instantly went blank.

So familiar!

Zhao Qi!?

She was a bit unsure.

Apart from the resemblance in appearance, the person's temperament was completely different from the Zhao Qi of the past, so she was not entirely sure whether the other party was really Zhao Qi.

After all, a hundred years had passed since that incident.

In these hundred years, Zhao Wanwan had actually regretted it many times; she felt she shouldn't have been so cruel to Zhao Qi back then.

The moment she saw this person, Zhao Wanwan's heart tightened.

She really hoped that the person before her was Zhao Qi.

No matter what, Zhao Wanwan did not want Zhao Qi to just die like that.

After a moment, that bone-chilling aura receded. Zhao Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Wanwan, forcing a smile onto his face:

"Sister, I made it out alive."

Hearing these familiar words, Zhao Wanwan was instantly stunned.

It really is Zhao Qi!

Not only Zhao Wanwan, but the Su Family members also revealed expressions of astonishment.

Calling Zhao Wanwan "Sister".

This is Zhao Qi?

Their impression of Zhao Qi was that of a playboy who relied on his sister.

But now, where was there any trace of a playboy in Zhao Qi? He exuded steadiness all over, looking like a very mature person.

Zhao Wanwan asked hesitantly: "Are you really Zhao Qi?"

Zhao Qi nodded gently, and continued: "Sister, I have reflected on myself properly, and in the future, I will not become a burden to you."

In these hundred years, there were many times he wanted to give up.

But in the end, he managed to persevere.

The only thing he worried about was that after leaving Fenghan Mountain, Zhao Wanwan would still refuse to forgive him.

Zhao Qi suddenly looked uneasy, and asked cautiously: "Sister, I have changed. Can you forgive me now?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wanwan's eyes instantly turned red, especially after looking at Zhao Qi's expression, endless self-reproach surged in her heart.

She felt she shouldn't have been so resolute back then.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Wanwan said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can be safe and sound, everything is fine."

Hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Zhao Qi's face, and he let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Su Yuanba spoke up:

"Zhao Qi, what is your situation?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhao Qi; they were all very puzzled about what was going on with the changes in Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi also shook his head in confusion: "I'm not sure either. In Fenghan Mountain, I only remember it being very, very cold. I don't know how much time passed, maybe thirty or fifty years."

"That one time, my spiritual power was completely exhausted, and I almost froze to death. I passed out completely. Later, after I woke up, I discovered that I seemed to have adapted to the cold air of Fenghan Mountain."

"Before, I felt very cold while staying inside, but since then, I haven't had that feeling; on the contrary, it is incredibly comfortable."

Comfortable!?

Everyone raised their eyebrows, their eyes filled with confusion, clearly perplexed by the changes in Zhao Qi.

Just at this moment, Ruoxi's figure walked over from afar. She walked up to Su Qingyun and whispered a few words, then bowed and left.

Su Qingyun's expression was surprised. Su Chen rarely intervened in the affairs of the Su Family, but every time he did intervene, without exception, it was never a small matter.

But today, Su Chen specifically gave instructions for Zhao Qi to become a Guest Elder of the Su Family.

A Guest Elder held a relatively high status in the Su Family, above a manager, and only second to a manager of a Collateral Branch.

Although Su Qingyun was a bit puzzled, he did as instructed.

"Zhao Qi, the Young Clan Leader has specifically promoted you to be a Guest Elder of our Su Family. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qi was instantly overjoyed, and he quickly knelt on one knee:

"Zhao Qi is willing, and will certainly not disappoint the Young Clan Leader."

Looking at such disciplined Zhao Qi, a look of surprise flashed in Su Qingyun's eyes; such an honest Zhao Qi was truly unexpected for him.

The others didn't say much about Su Chen's decision.

Since Zhao Qi had changed, it wouldn't hurt to give him a chance.

Su Qingyun nodded, then said again:

"Alright, go catch up with your sister first, then head to Wangyun Courtyard; the Young Clan Leader wants to see you."
