Chu Wen was worried that the old emperor knew too many of his secrets, so he didn't dare to say much, especially since he had an entire spiritual vein in his gourd. What if he knew that I have the ability to steal spiritual veins, wouldn't he be on guard against me every day?

Oops, I was careless. I should have covered that crazy woman's face.

This family is not normal. The sister is crazy and the brother is crazy too. The sworn brotherhood with him is so hasty that I dare not take it seriously.

Thinking of this, Chu Wen said randomly:

"Brother, you also saw that my two friends ran very fast. We ran to the Snow Mountain Sect and directly carried the Ninth Princess back."

Shangguan Qingyun saw that Chu Wen's words were not entirely true, and knew that he did not trust him, so he could only smile bitterly and said:

"Snow Mountain Sect? The Snow Mountain Sect in the far northwest? Is it the Xiaojiu they captured?"

Chu Wen stole the spirit vein of the Snow Mountain Sect, and knew that the Snow Mountain Sect would never let him go, so he thought of killing someone with a borrowed knife. He only heard him say:

"Yes, yes, yes, my Lord...Brother, the Snow Mountain Sect is so bold that they dared to capture my Princess Qingyun and locked her up in a dark and damp dungeon. I pretended to be the Qingyun envoy and went to ask them for her, but not only did they not give her to me, they also locked me up. Their leader even said that the Qingyun Kingdom was nothing and that he could destroy the Shangguan family with just a flick of his finger. Brother, luckily I know how to dig a hole, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the Ninth Princess."

Shangguan Qingyun's eyes turned cold: "You pretended to be the Qingyun messenger to ask him for someone, and he replied like this?"

"Yes, big brother. That clan leader was so arrogant. He not only tortured me, but also tortured the Ninth Princess. Big brother, you won't blame me for pretending to be an envoy. I did this to save the Ninth Princess."

Shangguan Qingyun secretly made a note of the Snow Mountain Sect and replied:

"Not only did you do nothing wrong in this matter, but you actually did something great. Tell me again, how did you manage to escape from the dungeon with Xiaojiu and run back across the entire Beiliang?"

Chu Wen thought to himself, I have to learn from the old monk about stealing the spiritual vein and never admit it even if I’m beaten to death. Even if that crazy woman tells on me, I can’t admit it. Otherwise, if anyone loses a spiritual vein in the future, they will have to blame me.

"Brother, I just dug a hole in the dungeon and then ran back with the Ninth Princess."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Qingyun saw that Chu Wen was avoiding the important issues in his words and was obviously hiding something.

But in the current situation, none of this matters anymore. What matters is how to save Chu Wen and Xiu'er's lives.

"You broke through the 38 passes of Beiliang, entered the camp alone, and rescued Xiaojiu single-handedly. No one can match your courage and insight, and you have done a great favor to my Shangguan family."

"But we are already brothers, so I won't say polite words to you. I have something else to discuss with you today. You must not hide anything from me about what I am going to say next."

Chu Wen was originally very happy to hear this, and was planning to ask Shangguan Qingyun for another Qingyun Order or something, but how come he changed the subject in the middle of the conversation?

He stared at Shangguan Qingyun in a daze, waiting for what was to come.

Shangguan Qingyun said solemnly, "Yelü Yanwu, the king of Beiliang, is a vicious person who will take revenge for any slight. Hundreds of his border guards are missing, and he blames you for all this."

After saying this, Shangguan Qingyun stared at Chu Wen, carefully observing Chu Wen's expression.

Chu Wen was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself that something was wrong.

My first reaction was that this cheap big brother was going to take the blame for me, and I immediately thought of running away.

He was thinking about the details of his escape in his mind, and did not answer. He just looked back at Shangguan Qingyun without saying a word.

Shangguan Qingyun saw a flash of disappointment in Chu Wen's eyes, sighed helplessly, and then said:

"Don't worry, I will keep you safe. I just want to hear what you think."

Chu Wen asked doubtfully, "What do I think?"

"Yes, the King of Beiliang wants to take your life, what do you think?"

"Hide?"

"If you hide, what will happen to your family in Buffalo?"

"All hiding?"

"Where to hide?"

"The world is so big, there is no place you can't go."

Shangguan Qingyun was shocked when he heard this. Judging from the boy's appearance, he was going to run away from Qingyun. How terrible!

He originally wanted to guide Chu Wen to fight with Beiliang first, settle the feud between the two countries, and then let him move into the Shangguan family in the name of protection. This would be what his grandfather meant by going with the flow. He didn't expect that this kid didn't play by the rules.

Shangguan Qingyun was unwilling to let him run around with Xiu'er, so he quickly said:

"You are my sworn brother, Shangguan Qingyun. Not only will I protect you, but the entire Shangguan family will protect you. Why are you hiding? For your safety, you will move to my family's territory and bring your family with you. I will reserve a place for you..."

Chu Wen refused before Shangguan Qingyun finished speaking, "I won't go."

"Why?"

Shangguan Qingyun was shocked again. He thought Chu Wen would agree immediately, but he didn't expect him to refuse so bluntly.

The Shangguan family can provide a cultivator with wealth, friends, skills and land, and they are all the best, but he doesn't want them.

What Chu Wen was thinking was that he had so many secrets. If he really moved to the Shangguan family, where he would be controlled by all kinds of bigwigs, how could he be happy?

The most important thing is that Xiu'er's identity is unclear and her enemies are powerful. He doesn't want to come into contact with too many cultivators. He just wants to take Xiu'er to hide in the mortal world and live a carefree life.

While he was thinking about how to save his life, he said:

“I’m used to living in Buffalo and don’t want to go anywhere else.”

Shangguan Qingyun saw that he was so blunt, he was almost saying that he looked down on the Shangguan family, he said angrily:

"Even if you can protect yourself, how can your family members protect themselves?"

Chu Wen thought to himself that after what happened, he could no longer stay in Qingyun Kingdom. It would be best to run away from the Southern Wilderness and hide far away. He didn't believe that Yelu Yanwu would be able to catch up with him.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I will find a way."

Shangguan Qingyun observed the guy's expression and thought to himself that this was not good. This kid was definitely going to run away. He didn't dare to keep him in suspense any longer and had to get straight to the point.

In order to test how far Chu Wen would go for Xiu'er, Shangguan Qingyun deliberately put on a stern face, stared at Chu Wen intently, and slowly said:

"When did you and Xiu'er meet?"

Chu Wen was shocked when he heard this. Why did he suddenly bring up Xiu'er?

He felt bad in his heart, but he pretended to be calm. While evaluating the possibility of killing Shangguan Qingyun, he answered casually:

"Brother, you are joking. Xiu'er is my biological sister, so we have known each other since birth."

Shangguan Qingyun noticed a flash of murderous intent in Chu Wen's eyes, and was very satisfied. He continued with a stern face and asked:

"I wonder who gave her the name Xiu'er?"

"Of course it was my father who gave it to me. Why, brother, do you think this name is not nice?"

Shangguan Qingyun said coldly: "This name is a gift from heaven, how can it not sound good?"

After hearing this, Chu Wen was horrified, knowing that Xiu'er's background had been exposed.

He was worried about Xiu'er's safety, so he stood up suddenly and stared at Shangguan Qingyun with bloodshot eyes, as if fire was about to spit out of his eyes.

He used his spiritual consciousness to inform the six people in the gourd to prepare for action, and said word by word:

"Where's Xiu'er?"

Shangguan Qingyun was both relieved and grateful to see that Chu Wen cared so much about Xiu'er.

But the person who wanted to kill Xiu'er was one of the best in the world. He was worried that Chu Wen would get scared after knowing the truth, so he continued to test him:

"She is just a little girl. If she dies, she dies..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Qingyun noticed something was wrong.

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the space around him, and then six figures quickly passed through the cracks.

This cave was restricted by nine restrictions set up by Shangguan Qingyun, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. He knew that these six people must have been summoned by Chu Wen.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt that my consciousness was being attacked.

Immediately, he saw twenty-four magic weapons and sixteen spells attacking him at the same time.

Shangguan Qingyun felt relieved, angry and amused at the same time.

This little brother who I just became sworn brothers with actually attacked me.

Didn't you just swear to live and die together?

This guy tried to withstand Yelu Yanwu's Fuyun Palm before, and now he wants to kill me. He is really a man who doesn't care about his life.

Looking at his bared teeth, he looked like he wanted to bite himself to death. He was really cruel and fierce.

Shangguan Qingyun thought to himself:

Tonghai.

Clear frost.
