The Colder the Weather, the Hotter the Heart

An hour later.

Xu Changqing rose and left.

Zhu Fuxian personally saw him to the door.

Once they had passed beyond the fence, Xu Changqing cupped his hands. "Senior Brother, this is far enough."

Zhu Fuxian suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Xu, do you know there are Fire Crows in our area?"

Xu Changqing was taken aback, then nodded readily. "I know."

Zhu Fuxian reminded him, "Fire Crows like fire-attributed things. Do not expose the Scarlet Yang Ginseng you just acquired, or it may draw their covetous eyes."

Xu Changqing waved a hand and simply admitted it outright. "Rest assured, Senior Brother. I bought these Fire Crows from the Earthfire Zone yesterday. There are five of them in total."

Since the other party had already noticed, and had even gone out of his way to warn him,

he could not pretend ignorance, much less deliberately conceal it.

There were quite a few people who knew about this.

For instance, Hu Bugui, Liu Wei, and Wang Xiang, the intermediary.

He could hide it for a moment, but not forever.

If someone truly wanted to investigate, they would soon uncover the answer.

After all, most Fire Crows came from the Earthfire Zone.

Zhu Fuxian suddenly understood. "So they are raised by Junior Brother. Then there is no problem."

Xu Changqing knowingly asked, "How did Senior Brother know there were Fire Crows?"

Zhu Fuxian answered with a smile, "One happened to fly over to this old man's place last night. I was wondering where it had come from, never expecting it to be one Junior Brother had only just begun raising."

Xu Changqing immediately asked anxiously, "It did not harm your spirit plants, did it?"

Zhu Fuxian said with considerable confidence, "My Spirit Fields have a complete set of high-grade defensive formations in place.
