Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1148: The Count of Desires
A cold wind blew past the roof tonight and drilled slightly at the door, stroking Zhu Xinghe's face in the room, causing some of the gray hair hanging on her temple to sway.
Zhus' main residence villa was the most strict and most guarded place in Zheng City like the ancient imperial palace. Sentries and posts are everywhere, both open and hidden. Even those who were at the level of a martial arts grandmaster as well as a qigong practitioner would find it easy to sneak into the Zhu Family residence.
Zhu Xinghe was now 60 years old, but her physique was still large and energetic and as sharp as ever. It could be said that the Zhus could develop so far and become the first family in He Province thanks to his Midas hand.
"Who is this?"
Zhu Xingho, who was secretly reading a book, suddenly his complexion changed and his hand immediately grabbed a sharp dagger. With a grip gripping him, his eyes trained on the closed door.
Crunched…
The door was gently pushed from the outside as Tang Xiu dressed in casual black clothes and a bronze mask walked into the room. His eyes seemed to smile as he looked at Zhu Xinghe's actions.
"You Zhu Xinghe, Patriarch Zhu, huh?"
Shooting Tang Xiu with a cold look, Zhu Xinghe did not even try to tell the family guardian right away. He knew very well this person was probably very strong considering how silent and silent he could sneak in and now stand in front of him. Such an incident happened earlier when someone also appeared earlier without worrying about anyone looking after the family. Although he admitted that people at the time were indeed very strong.
"Who are you?"
Tang Xiu stepped into the room and closed the door again. Then, he grabbed a chair and went to the opposite side of Zhu Xinghe and lightly said, “Don't think of who I am. I have no intention of killing you. I'm here because I want to ask you a few questions. I'll leave as long as you honestly answer me satisfactorily. "
"Someone in the past also stood before me like you, Sir. But he still introduced himself as basic manners. I've got no problem with answering your question, but I need to know who you are. "
"Major problems will befall you if you find my identity, even your family will be involved," Tang Xiu lightly said. "Do you still have that idea in mind after knowing this?"
"Zhus was never afraid of trouble," Zhu Xinghe replied in a heavy voice.
"Are you sure?" Tang Xiu instantly released his aura which instantly suppressed Zhu Xinghe with a cold smile.
The old man's face changed drastically and he fought hard to break free from the terrible oppression. However, to his surprise, no matter how frantically he circulated the True Qi in his body, he was still unable to move in the slightest.
This guy ... is very scary. More than that woman.
“Now, I'm asking you again. Are you sure? "Ask Tang Xiu.
Zhu Xinghe was silent. He was able to speak now but did not dare to insist. This person possessed terrifying strength that was very likely to completely eliminate him, his family members, and all the guards here overnight.
After a long while, with a hint of helpless expression, Zhu Xinghe slowly asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Pulling out her aura, Tang Xiu then moved one of her legs over the other, and then took out half a pack of cigarettes. After lighting it up and letting out smoke in and out, he threw the remaining half of the pack at Zhu Xinghe and said, “Your family is said to be the first power in He Province, he said, which I guess is not only power but also network intelligence. You are also a man with a leading status and position, so you should have seen the person yourself. That is exactly the main reason I came to you at this time, which is to ask you a few things about the Floating Snow Chateau. ”
"Chateau The Floating Snow?"
With a slightly changed expression, Zhu Xinghe forced a smile and said, “You guys are all the same person, but why should you choose me — an ordinary man — to deal with your problems? If there is a grudge between you, please settle it among yourself. ”
"I guarantee that the matter between us will not affect you, nor will it involve your family," Tang Xiu said. "I came here to ask you something. You also understand the principle that you can always win if you know yourself and your opponents, right? ”
"You're in a hostile relationship with the Floating Snow Chateau?" Ask Zhu Xinghe.
Tang Xiu stretched out his finger and shuffled it. "No no No. I'm not sure if the Floating Snow Chateau is my enemy as of now. Zhu Xinghe, just answer me, who is the Master of the Floating Snow Chateau? ”
Zhu Xinghe was silent for a moment and slowly said, "This is Xue Wuhen."
"Tell me the details," Tang Xiu said.
“That woman, Xue Wuhen, has always been untraceable, so I don't know what she looks like. I've only met him once and he's just like you, wearing a similar bronze mask and just appeared in front of me and sitting where you're sitting right now. He was extremely strong, and the aura he released was slightly weaker than yours now. But I'm not sure about some other things. ”
"You mean, he came to see you personally and it was because of the friction between the two sides?" Ask Tang Xiu.
Zhu Xinghe instantly realized that this person must have done some homework and had done some investigation towards her and the Floating Snow Chateau.
"That's right!"
"Who else besides cultivators who might have such terrifying strength?" Zhu Xinghe replied with a bitter smile. “I have compared myself to the average person and I can say that I am a very strong person. I even managed to break through to the level of a martial arts grandmaster a few years ago. But comparing myself to you is like comparing a cloud to the ground. ”
Tang Xiu calmly thought about it for a few minutes and then asked again, "Is there a peculiarity about her, such as looks and the like?"
"She was a tall woman and dressed in white. The only peculiarity I can say is her bare feet, which I happened to notice when I met her. "
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and nodded before speaking, "Now tell me about the situation of the Floating Snow Chateau."
Zhu Xinghe nodded. “Chateau Floating Snow is considered the third largest power in He Province, but it is actually off the mark. If my calculations were correct, their overall strength would definitely be much stronger than Zhus. No one outside could imagine that just Xue Wuhen alone was enough to eliminate everyone in the Zhu Family. The current person in charge of the Floating Snow Chateau was his Vice Master, Xue Mengdie, an extremely strong and resourceful woman. It only took two decades for the Floating Snow Chateau to spread their industry in the province while also controlling many businesses under their monopoly in secret. Right. What I want to emphasize is that the members of the Floating Snow Chateau are all made up of women. ”
"They are all women." Tang Xiu was surprised.
“Yes, everything.” Zhu XInghe forced a smile and continued, “Said that women can hold half the sky. They are the symbols that prove it. These women may have some men under their control, but those men only work for them and not their members. To my knowledge, there was only one person who entered the Floating Snow Chateau, and that happened just a few months ago. "
Tang Xiu's expression changed slightly and he asked. "Do you know who that guy is?"
"I don't know much about him. I only know his name is Chu Yuan, ” Zhu Xinghe replied.
Chu Yuan's?
A handsome face with casual and elegant pads immediately appeared in Tang Xiu's mind. The man was the heir to the Shanghai Imperial Garden, and was also famous as a business genius in Shanghai. Someone who was from the Invisibility Sect and one of the pursuers of Xue Yu back then.
But still, how could he enter the Floating Snow Chateau? Could there be a woman there who likes him?
When he thought of this possibility, he immediately smiled and asked again, “By the way, do you know of anything else related to Floating Snow Chateau, by chance? Well, something very special. "
"No." Zhu Xinghe shook her head. “We may live in Zheng City, but the Snow Floating Chateau is hiding too deep and is very simple. Those who are usually exposed to the public are the people who manage their business. I don't know much about the members. "
Tang Xiu no longer asked about the situation of the Floating Snow Chateau anymore. Instead, he said, "Are you not afraid that I am one of them, so you are not afraid to answer my question?"
Zhu Xinghe smiled and shook her head. "I just told you the Snow Floating Chateau has no male members, right?"
Tang Xiu nodded in response. As soon as the door suddenly opened, he also disappeared without a trace from the chair, leaving only a faint closing sound indicating that someone had just been there.
Fuh …
Zhu Xinghe finally let go of a sigh of relief. He picked up a cigarette with a slightly trembling hand and lit it. But his expression slightly changed after he sucked.
"This cigarette?"
He could easily sense that the smoke he had just drawn suddenly turned into a warm stream that flowed into four limbs and five large bones. Just by smoking one cigarette, hard work is done for months.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ear—
"Tell all intel from your family to hide and not gather information or investigate anyone again on purpose for the next 6 months."
Zhu Xinghe's skin changed and a hint of admiration was seen in her eyes. He took out and cupped his fists and said, “Zhu Xinghe won't dare to go against your orders. Zhus will no longer be collecting information for the next 6 months. ”
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
Several figures flickered and moved as fast as lightning and instantly appeared outside the door. When the door opened, a middle-aged man in black wushu suit and the sword on his back warily glanced around. Then, he cupped his fists and respectfully asked, "What's going on here, Patriarch?"
Zhu Xinghe walked out of the room and scanned the surroundings for a while before she smiled bitterly and replied, "A guest has just visited me."
The skin of some of these men changed and looked surprised. The middle-aged big man who only asked in a low voice, "Is that the person from the Floating Snow Chateau?"
"No." Zhu Xinghe shook her head. "This man is far more terrible and stronger than him."
A few men exchanged glances and a chill immediately filled their hearts. The person from the Floating Snow Chateau a few years ago had given them a deep fear. Little did they expect from someone stronger than him would appear here again.
