Everyone around them secretly broke into a cold sweat for Hu Xiaotian. They could all see that Li Chenzhou was behaving strangely. If Hu Xiaotian angered him, he might well take Hu Xiaotian's life.
Zhou Mo and Zhan Peng kept their guard up. If Li Chenzhou dared make the slightest threatening move, they would strike first.
