After the woman was dug out from under the rubble and tiles, Tang San checked her over and confirmed that she was still alive, but her Meridians had been severely damaged, almost crippled. Zhou Qing unconsciously glanced at Xiao Wu:

What a troublemaker!

Originally, he planned to intimidate the woman first, then discuss and potentially cooperate to some extent...

But all of this happened too fast.

He only wanted to demonstrate his strength and take the initiative, but Xiao Wu made a big fuss, disfiguring her and causing him to want to kill her.

At this point, neither Zhou Qing nor Tang San could push Xiao Wu out—they could argue or even have physical altercations with each other normally, but when facing others, they had to unite against outsiders in order to maintain team cohesion.

Furthermore!

At this moment, Li was more on their side, after all, that woman had concealed her identity Soul Master and infiltrated...

Therefore, there is only one path to choose at present:

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

However, due to a series of unexpected events, he gained the gratitude of Xiao Chenyu and even the Xiao Manor, which was a pleasant surprise.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs.

In the near future, if Nuoding City is truly thrown into turmoil and chaos beyond repair because of a small Soul Bone, the master of the Xiao Manor might ask the three of them to escort Xiao Chenyu away.

Better safe than sorry!

This can be considered a way out.

Zhou Qing now truly understands what it means for human calculations to be no match for divine intervention.

"Perfect timing, there's something I really need your help with right now." After the woman whose Martial Soul was Spirit Fox was taken away for questioning, Zhou Qing called out to Xiao Chenyu, and they returned to the living room together.

After ordering tea and pastries to be served, Steward Xiao tactfully withdrew.

"What kind of help?" Xiao Chenyu's face was covered in bruises. With each word he spoke, his mouth twitched and he grimaced as he spoke, but he still said with great bravado, "In Nuoding City, apart from my father and the deputy city lord of the Roman family, I can do anything."

"It's very simple."

Zhou Qing glanced at Su Yuntao, who was sitting on the cushion, seemingly still thinking about how to "discipline" Xiao Chenyu later, and then asked after organizing her thoughts, "I want to ask, did your mother wholeheartedly agree to your father having a mistress?"

Su Yuntao woke up with a start and realized that Zhou Qing wanted to ask about something related to him, and he suddenly became nervous.

Xiao Chenyu's lips twitched. He didn't understand why Zhou Qing was asking this, but he still sighed and said, "My mother passed away three years ago, and my father and mother didn't have a good relationship. I heard that they only got together at my grandfather's request... So, in Nuoding City, my father actually had quite a few mistresses."

"That's strange. If your dad doesn't like your mom, why are they together?" Xiao Wu asked innocently.

Xiao Chenyu: "..." This question is unanswerable! He can't exactly say that just because they're not together, he doesn't exist, can he?

Don't change the subject.

Zhou Qing glared at Xiao Wu, picked up an apple, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Oh." Xiao Wu also started eating an apple, seemingly startled by Zhou Qing and Tang San's sudden actions, and her temperament calmed down slightly.

Zhou Qing himself probably knew something about the relationship between City Lord Xiao and his wife, which was nothing more than an arranged marriage, a match of equal social status, and a connection of interests.

The material reason is to form a powerful alliance. The more powerful a family is, the less it can resist the family, sect, or royal family behind it—they have no choice. But now is not the time to discuss these issues. "I am very sorry for your mother's passing."

"It's nothing." Xiao Chenyu seemed used to it, but a Sisi ripple appeared in his eyes. "I guess it won't be long before I have another mother."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more details," Zhou Qing immediately pressed.

"..." Xiao Chenyu sighed and said Youyou, "My father keeps his mistresses outside, but recently he brought one home for the night, and she was with Dales from Falling Star City ... She's not exactly known for her propriety, but she's Soul Master, so she could very well become my new mother in the near future, and all I can do is pray for her future child—"

They're all girls!

Why?

Because if he were a boy, he probably wouldn't be able to become the lord of Nuoding City in the distant future.

But he dared not say this to Xiao Wu's face, otherwise she would label him as "looking down on women" and then teach him a lesson.

"Was that Soul Master named Sisi?" Su Yuntao asked in a trembling voice, heartbroken and unable to understand why Sisi had become like this.

"Battle Soul Master, you know her?" Xiao Chenyu was a little taken aback, but then he suddenly realized something and opened his mouth wide. "She... is your girlfriend?"

In the Soul Master World, married Soul Masters, that is, married male and female Soul Master, must never commit adultery, otherwise they will be despised by all Soul Master in the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, Xiao Chenyu could only think that Sisi was Su Yuntao's girlfriend.

As long as one is not truly married, no matter how promiscuous one is, it will only result in a poor reputation. This applies to male Soul Master, and female Soul Master can do the same.

For example, his arrogant and domineering attitude in the college was disliked by most teachers and students, but did he care?

In the Soul Master World, strength has always been paramount, and besides, his father is the city lord!

Unless it truly harms the actual interests of certain individuals or incurs public wrath, what can others do? What would they dare to do?

We can only endure it and suppress it.

This is reality!

"No, it's just... we've known each other for many years." Su Yuntao sighed deeply: (((*ο`)=3

Although Xiao Chenyu couldn't be Dai Mubai, he was still somewhat familiar with the situation between Su Yuntao and Sisi due to the influence of his father, City Lord Xiao's, various behaviors.

Sisi maintained a relationship with Su Yuntao that was more than lovers, while simultaneously maintaining a closer connection with her father...

What kind of situation is this?

Xiao Chenyu has now realized one thing: the beating he just received was not part of his sparring, but rather Su Yuntao's revenge.

The son must pay for the father's debts?

For a moment, Xiao Chenyu felt like crying, but he quickly came to a realization and hurriedly said to Su Yuntao, "Battle Soul Master, I can try to persuade my father. If he knows the details, he will definitely cut off all ties with Miss Sisi."

Sisi Xiao Chenyu didn't want to find out what kind of person Sisi was, but as long as she didn't marry his father and become his stepmother, that would be the perfect situation for him.

He absolutely did not want a younger brother to compete with him for the family fortune and the position of city lord in the future.

What other lovers did my father have?

None of them were Soul Master, yet they dared to come to the Xiao Manor. As an eleventh-level Soul Grandmaster, he wouldn't mind causing an accident that would disfigure them or leave them paralyzed.

Only Sisi, who was also Soul Master and had higher Soul Power, was someone he couldn't defeat...

Now, letting Sisi return to Su Yuntao's embrace is the best way!

"No!"

To Xiao Chenyu's surprise, Su Yuntao seemed to have figured something out and refused, "These past two days, I've actually... figured it out too. Zhou Qing is right, if you love someone, you have to let go. This is the greatest respect for your lover. I've decided to let them be together. I just hope to see Sisi one last time and explain the situation to her in person."

Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth, his heart skipped a beat, and he stammered, "Battle Soul Master, why don't you try to hold on a little longer? Maybe Miss Sisi will change her mind."

"No, even if I become the Hall Master of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch three years later, I will not be as noble as the City Lord, and I cannot give her the luxurious life she wants."

Su Yuntao tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, tears welling up in his eyes. "How can I stop the canary from soaring in a wider sky?"

"Maybe it's just that I took too much care of her from the same village in the past, to the point that I couldn't see myself clearly..."

"That's fine..."
