184: The whole Fenyan Valley was wiped out. Was it related to that Young Master Xiao?

"You two are really a pair of jokers..."

Watching Xiao Meier and Xiao Linger bickering over a few small black chickens, Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, but also felt a sense of warmth.

This kind of atmosphere felt like home.

"Gongzi, none of these small black chickens in front of you have the flavor Cai Yan wants to eat. I wonder if Gongzi can... personally make one that's more suitable for Cai Yan's taste?"

Just as Xiao Chen was about to shake his head, Cai Yan couldn't help but speak up from the side.

That cold yet alluring voice instantly made Xiao Chen's mouth twitch.

So many small black chickens, and none of them had a suitable flavor?

She was clearly looking for an excuse to provoke him.

"If you don't try them, how do you know none of these small black chickens are suitable for your taste?"

Xiao Chen didn't humor this Queen, and immediately said with a somewhat expressionless face.

"These chickens are all cold. The King wants to eat hot ones..."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cai Yan's mouth curled slightly, and she said in a tone that would infuriate without consequence.

"Can't you just heat them up..."

After Xiao Chen's words fell, Cai Yan raised her hand and condensed a ball of flame, which she used to heat up one of the small black chickens.

But the next moment.

As the flame suddenly flickered violently, that small black chicken instantly turned to ash, causing a vein to throb on Xiao Chen's forehead.

"Oh dear, Gongzi, look how clumsy Cai Yan is. I can't even heat up a chicken properly."

"How about..."

"I'll still trouble Gongzi to personally make one for me. Cai Yan is so greedy, I really want to eat the chicken Gongzi makes..."

As Cai Yan's words fell, Xiao Meier and Xiao Linger didn't even dare to breathe heavily. They felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

If this continued.

The two of them would start fighting!

"Alright, alright, is it true that if I don't teach you a lesson for a day, you feel uncomfortable all over?"

"Come, come, come with me into the room!"

"Today, This Young Master will personally make chicken for you and make you, a woman, eat until you vomit!!"

As these words fell, Xiao Chen pulled Cai Yan into the side room.

Immediately after.

The door closed with a bang.

Xiao Meier and Xiao Linger were so startled that they looked at each other.

The two of them, who were perfectly fine, actually started arguing over a few chickens, and it felt like they might even start fighting.

Was this Xiao Chen and this Medusa Queen a bit too easily angered?

Why did it feel a bit off?

…………

Great Qian Imperial City.

Purple Cloud Merchant Guild Headquarters.

In a magnificent council hall, many high-ranking officials of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild were seated.

A heavy atmosphere constantly permeated the hall, as if a major meeting was being held at this time.

"Zi Luo, why did you arbitrarily decide... to gather all the resources from the inventories of all the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild branches and transfer them to the Great Qian Imperial City?"

After this atmosphere lasted for a while, one of the elderly men in luxurious clothes said in a low voice.

This person.

Is the Grand Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, Purple Xuan, with a cultivation base of Heavenly Human Realm eighth level.

He is also the most powerful one, both in terms of seniority and strength, besides the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild President, Purple Cang.

"To welcome the arrival of a person..."

As Purple Xuan's words fell, Zi Luo slightly raised her head and said in a calm tone.

"Could it be the young man named Xiao whom you mentioned a while ago, the one you invited in Tiandu City?"

Purple Xuan's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, and he continued with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Although this guy gave the merchant guild a batch of top-grade pills, which indeed allowed the guild to profit a lot during this period."

"But you invited him to the guild headquarters, and it has been so long now, yet not even a ghost of this guy has been seen."

"Is it... a bit too disrespectful to the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild?"

Thinking of this.

Purple Xuan was quite displeased with this young man he had never met.

The Purple Cloud Merchant Guild was, after all, one of the five major top powers in the Great Qian Dynasty.

In terms of overall wealth, it could even be said to be stronger than the Great Qian Imperial Family.

But they had extended an invitation for so long, and Xiao Chen, as an Honorary Elder of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, not only failed to visit the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild for a courtesy call for a long time.

He didn't even send a single message, which was truly arrogant.

"Gongzi Xiao, perhaps he has important matters to attend to, which is why he couldn't come to the headquarters."

Hearing Purple Xuan's words, Zi Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and she said in a low voice.

"During this time..."

"I believe everyone here knows something about the destruction of Burning Flame Valley, right?"

As Zi Luo suddenly said this, everyone present's expression changed.

Purple Cang, who was sitting at the head of the hall, looked over with a solemn expression.

"Zi Luo, do you mean... the destruction of Burning Flame Valley is related to that Gongzi Xiao?"

"Or... is it very likely that the Master behind him made a move?!"

After Burning Flame Valley was destroyed, he also went to observe afterwards.

The entire sect was almost turned into ruins, and even some valuable items were completely plundered.

This made him wonder which Ru Sheng Realm old freak would be so poor that they didn't even spare the bricks and tiles.

"Whether this matter was done by Gongzi Xiao or the Master behind him, Zi Luo is not in a good position to make a conclusion."

"But I can be sure of one thing, the destruction of Burning Flame Valley is definitely related to him!"

Zi Luo's expression was solemn upon hearing this, and she then recounted everything she had investigated during this time.

"In Tiandu City."

"Gongzi Xiao became acquainted with people from Wanhua Sect, and also had a grudge with the This Young Master of Burning Flame Valley."

"After the auction ended, Gongzi Xiao went to Wanhua Sect."

"Later, a fierce battle occurred in Wanhua Sect, and some people even witnessed... lightning tribulation descending around Wanhua Sect, suspected to be someone breaking through to the Ru Sheng Realm level."

"And Burning Flame Valley was destroyed by a Ru Sheng Realm expert on that very day!"

"So I boldly speculate..."

"It should be that Duan Yantian and others invaded Wanhua Sect, but unexpectedly Gongzi Xiao was also in Wanhua Sect, so they were besieged and killed by his group."

"Afterwards, one of the experts among them broke through to the Ru Sheng Realm, and that night they completely wiped out Burning Flame Valley."

"According to Father and the Elders' past investigations, Burning Flame Valley was destroyed by a fire-attribute expert."

"And the entire Wanhua Sect cultivates only extreme Yin techniques, so if we speculate like this, it is very likely that the Medusa Queen by Gongzi Xiao's side is the one who did it!"
