I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Xu Chong covered his chest with his hands, frowned, and sat on the ground in pain. He looked at Sect Master Yuan opposite him with a look full of reproach, who was accidentally knocked to the ground by him.

He was displeased, with a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction on his lips, and shouted: "Old man, you are so old, why are you still so careless? What are you doing standing at the door? Don't you know that it's easy to get bumped into like this?"

Master Yuan was nearly knocked apart, his body trembling uncontrollably, the wrinkles on his face twisted together with anger and pain.

He pointed at Xu Chong with great effort, his voice full of reproach and dissatisfaction: "You rascal, you are so reckless even though you are so grown up! I was just about to go out to meet you, but you rushed over like a wild bull and almost broke me apart. Now, not only do you not apologize, but you blame me instead? This is outrageous!"

The quarrel between the two echoed in the empty hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

At this time, He Ronger saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Sect Master Yuan up. While asking him if he was okay, he glared at Xu Chong and said, "Okay, this time it's all your fault. Shut up now. Look at what you've done to Sect Master Yuan."

When Xu Chong saw that He Ronger not only did not speak up for him, but also blamed him instead, he suddenly felt aggrieved and dissatisfied.

He got up from the ground angrily, patted the dust off his body, and said unhappily: "You are so good He Rong'er, I rushed here just to see you, and you actually said this to me, it's really chilling. Humph, I won't give you the gift, so you can regret it."

After saying that, he folded his arms and turned around, looking like a grumpy child, with an unhappy and stubborn look on his face.

He Ronger and Sect Master Yuan couldn't help but feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry when they saw his appearance.

At this time, Zou Mubai frowned and walked slowly to Xu Chong's side. His dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He looked Xu Chong up and down carefully, from head to toe, without missing any details.

There was a barely perceptible tension in the air.

Xu Chong didn't recognize Zou Mubai at first. He just felt that there was suddenly someone standing in front of him. Those eyes were scanning him like a searchlight, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt unhappy and he immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "Hey, who are you? Do you know that it is very rude to stare at people like this?"

Zou Mubai did not respond immediately. His gaze was like a cheetah locking onto its prey, and finally fixed on the slightly raised collar of Xu Chong, where there seemed to be something hidden.

He asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what is in your arms?"

As soon as the voice came out, Xu Chong's disdainful tone froze instantly, his eyes widened with surprise and confusion.

He looked at Zou Mubai in disbelief, opened his mouth, and squeezed out a sentence after a long time: "Zou...Brother Zou, why...why are you here? This is really unexpected!"

After saying that, Xu Chong hurriedly looked at He Ronger and Sect Master Yuan behind him. Seeing the same inquiring and curious expressions on their faces, he suddenly realized that Zou Mubai had already met them.

"Tell me, what is in your arms?" Zou Mubai asked again in a deep voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

He Ronger and Yuan Sheng looked at each other. It was the first time they saw Zou Mubai asking something so seriously. They couldn't help but secretly guess that what Xu Chong had in his arms must be something special.

So, the two of them looked towards Xu Chong at the same time, full of exploration and expectation.

Xu Chong felt uncomfortable under everyone's gaze and felt an unprecedented pressure.

Zou Mubai's overwhelming aura made him feel a little helpless, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously: "Um, Brother Zou, don't be so... so serious, my little heart can't stand such a shock."

"Take it out quickly!" Zou Mubai's voice became more urgent.

Xu Chong didn't dare to refuse anymore, and quickly took out the jade pendant he had picked up earlier from his arms, and handed it over with slightly trembling hands: "Here, this... I picked it up accidentally in a dense forest."

He swallowed his saliva, trying to ease his nervousness, and then explained: "Originally, I thought the texture of this jade pendant was quite good, and the carving was also very fine, so I thought of giving it to Rong girl. I didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction. Brother Zou, what is the origin of this jade pendant?"

Zou Mubai's hand trembled slightly as he took the jade pendant, and an indescribable excitement and shock surged in his heart.

"This is Si Yao's jade pendant!" he said in his heart, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

However, the jade pendant is here, but where is Si Yao?

A series of questions arose in his mind: Why did Si Yao lose this jade pendant? How did this jade pendant appear in the dense forest?

Zou Mubai raised his eyes and looked at Xu Chong, with a hint of urgency and anxiety in his tone: "Which dense forest did you pick up this jade pendant? Take me there quickly, I want to see it myself!"

His heart was filled with concern and worry for Si Yao. The appearance of this jade pendant made him feel that something unusual might have happened.

Although Xu Chong was puzzled as to why Zou Mubai was so anxious and wanted to know the specific location where he picked up the jade pendant, he could only nod and agree obediently due to Zou Mubai's pressure and momentum: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Before he could finish his words, or even turn around to say goodbye to He Ronger and Sect Master Yuan, Zou Mubai grabbed the back of his collar and practically dragged him out of the reception room.

As soon as they walked out of the reception room, they came face to face with several Lingyun Sect gatekeepers who had followed Xu Chong. Those disciples were about to call out to Xu Chong, but when they saw Zou Mubai and Sect Master Yuan and the others who followed them, they immediately shut up.

They muttered to themselves: It turns out that this man is acquainted with so many distinguished guests. Shouldn't it have been made clear earlier? Instead, they had to chase him all the way to the main peak. It was really a false alarm.

After several disciples bowed and saluted, they were about to explain when they saw Xu Chong being picked up by the hand of the man with profound cultivation and flying away.

"This... doesn't this person need to fly a sword?" A disciple opened his mouth for a long time before asking this question.

He Ronger looked at the two people who had disappeared, feeling extremely proud, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Uncle Zou’s cultivation is still as unfathomable as ever.

But what was the special thing about that jade pendant that made him care so much about it?

Moreover, she just took a quick glance at it, but she felt that the pattern was inexplicably familiar. Why?
