One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Although Zhang Chulan is young, his temperament is far more resilient than that of his peers, and even stronger than that of those older than him.

When this matter was brought up, Zhang Chulan's expression became serious. "Brother Qi, I still can't find the person to talk to about this. Since you asked, I can also find an outlet for my frustration."

After feeling stifled for a long time, Zhang Chulan sighed deeply as if he had found a support.

“We’re here to reclaim the village and take Ma Xianhong away, but I have a feeling that there’s more to Ma Xianhong than meets the eye.”

Praise welled up in Chen Qi's eyes; no wonder he had such high hopes for this person.

“Continue with 々‖.”

Zhang Chulan held the chess piece in his hand, unable to place a single one.

“I don’t know Ma Xianhong well enough to make a final decision.”

"But Brother Qi, everything I, Zhang Chulan, do is based on you and Sister Bao'er!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qi stood up and patted the corner of his clothes.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan asked, "What's wrong, Brother Qi?"

"Let me take you to learn about Ma Xianhong."

Chen Qi was straightforward and never made Zhang Chulan do anything difficult, only letting him follow his heart.

Led by the villagers, the two arrived at the outside of a house.

The house looks simple, but it is surrounded by a layer of mixed Qi, which is obviously the result of many refinements and evolutions.

At that moment, Ma Xianhong was drawing his furnace design inside the house. Hearing the noise outside, he frowned and opened the door. "It's you?"

His gaze first fell on Chen Qi, before he noticed Zhang Chulan beside him.

Without needing to ask further, he already understood the relationship between the two.

“I knew you would come looking for me, after all, we have some history…” He paused, “but I didn’t expect you to bring him along.”

Ma Xianhong's meaning was clear: he hadn't expected Zhang Chulan to trust Chen Qi so much.

Faced with Ma Xianhong's slight hostility, Chen Qi merely glanced at him indifferently.

A child, in terms of age, is just entering puberty.

Some hostility is normal.

Moreover, he also had some feelings for Ma Xianhong's sister, who had two hands.

In this sense, Chen Qi and Ma Xianhong also have some connection.

"Hey, we're just chatting. This is my brother Qi. You can just call him Brother Qi too."

Zhang Chulan said with a hearty laugh.

But Ma Xianhong showed no intention of cooperating.

"You believe him, but I don't. Our conversation must not be known to a third party."

After speaking, Chen Qi's eyes changed slightly, and he scoffed, "What can you talk about? The Eight Miracles? Or the story of your great-grandfather Ma Ben and Zhang Chulan's grandfather?"

However, a single sentence caused Ma Xianhong's expression to change drastically.

"What else do you know!"

Clearly, Ma Xianhong remembered Chen Qi's reminder about his forehead when they first met.

The mysterious person in front of me clearly knows more than just a few simple things.

"What's the rush?"

He was anxious, but Chen Qi remained indifferent. "I didn't intend to help you solve your problems today. I just brought Chu Lan to meet you."

He easily stirred up Ma Xianhong's emotions, then calmly suppressed them.

For some reason, Ma Xianhong felt extremely irritated whenever he looked at the person in front of him.

It was as if I was being influenced without my noticing.

However, he didn't say it out loud.

Continuing to ask yielded no results, so Ma Xianhong turned his attention back to Zhang Chulan and told him the story from back then, the sworn brotherhood he had heard from his great-grandfather.

As he spoke of these things, a touch of warmth appeared on his face.

Clearly, this person is someone who cares about relationships.

But Zhang Chulan's subconscious reaction after hearing this was, "So, does that mean I'm your godfather?"

Ma Xianhong: "..."

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

Zhang Chulan has a unique talent for pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

They always manage to use clever methods to lower the other party's guard.

Ma Xianhong was speechless: "You, you really are a smooth talker."

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Zhang Chulan, then paused and poured a cup for Chen Qi as well.

There was no other way but to keep talking to Zhang Chulan.

But Ma Xianhong could never ignore the god beside him.

It's not an exaggeration to call him a god.

Chen Qi sat expressionless beside him, his indifferent demeanor like that of an immortal untouched by worldly affairs.

It's good to be distant and indifferent.

Ma Xianhong looked away. "You can do that too. With the company as your backer, you'll be safer."

He changed the subject.

"Speak, Zhang Chulan, what is your purpose in entering the village?"

Chapter 127 The Purpose of Entering the Village?

From the moment Chen Qi, this mysterious man, appeared, Ma Xianhong had always wanted to ask him something.

The purpose of this group of people coming to the village.

Zhang Chulan had anticipated that Ma Xianhong would ask directly, and with a serious expression, he replied:

"Chen Duo."

"Old Ma, you should be able to guess that our only purpose in entering the village is her."

"Otherwise, how could your village, which is usually peaceful, suddenly attract the attention of a company?"

Zhang Chulan spoke calmly, enunciating each word clearly.

“As long as you don’t interfere, we can take her away ourselves.”

Ma Xianhong was not surprised, he just chuckled:

"I knew this day would come when I saved Chen Duo."

"But Zhang Chulan, would you abandon your companions?"

Faced with his question, Zhang Chulan emphasized without changing his expression:

"She killed someone, someone from the company, and the head of one of the seven regions."

This is no small crime.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze fell on Ma Xianhong.

Skillful.

His purpose in coming to 513 was also to see Chen Duo.

I didn't sense any trace of Chen Duo from the distance I walked from the courtyard to here.

I imagine they hid it somehow.

So Chen Qi let Bao Bao and Duo'er wander around, hoping they might make some discoveries.

Ma Xianhong stared at the two people in front of him.

Zhang Chulan had already learned about it after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

But he didn't understand Chen Qi.

After a moment, Ma Xianhong withdrew his gaze, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Fine, murder is illegal. You can call the police and let the law punish her. What right do you have to arrest her? Are you seeking revenge?"

His words were sharp, and he wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Chen Qi's sudden action.

Chen Qi casually stood up, clapped his hands,

"Sorry to interrupt your reminiscing."

"I'm not interested in the debate. I'll go for a walk. You guys continue."

With just a few words, Ma Xianhong lost his previous momentum.

He originally intended to question the company, asking them why they had deprived Chen Duo of her right to live as a human being!

But Chen Qi interrupted them halfway through.

Chen Qi opened the door and left without a second thought, making sure to close it behind him.

He was no longer interested in the conversation between Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong.

Right now, there are only three people who are of interest to him.

Duo'er's younger sister Chen Duo, Bi Yuan of the Ghost Needle, and another one, Zhuge Qing.

He already knew about the Samadhi True Fire.

That's a Taoist magic technique.

Only members of the Zhuge family are qualified to cultivate and comprehend its mysteries.

But as the family rose and fell, fewer and fewer people possessed innate spirituality.

It is said that, to date, no one in the Zhuge family has mastered the Samadhi Fire.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity.

Chen Qi was still somewhat curious about whether the Samadhi True Fire could be integrated into the power of the Dao Azure Flame.

Biyou Village is quite large, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, giving it a unique charm.

Just then, a short-haired, capable-looking girl walked towards me.

Fu Rong finished cooking and was about to go find Wu Kui when she bumped into a stranger on the way and couldn't help but take a second look at him.

Then Chen Qi reached out and stopped him, asking:

Where is Zhuge Qing?

Fu Rong frowned. "How can you be so rude? What are you doing in the village?"

I didn't expect this girl to have such a strong personality.

Chen Qi glanced at her and said calmly, "Your village chief Ma doesn't have any requirements for people entering the village. Isn't he open to everyone?"

Fu Rong: "..."

I have a feeling this person is hinting at something.

Did he know that he owed money and had fled to the village to hide?

impossible!

Nobody in this village knows about this!

She never told anyone!

"Your swordsmanship is good. Choosing to become a disciple in the village just to pay off some debts is not a good opportunity."

A sudden remark completely shattered all of Fu Rong's mental preparations!

I was so confident just now, no one would know.
