"You …" His chest heaved violently for a long time before he finally said in a cold voice, "The three great families are merely the guards of the TianChu Martial Academy. The forces that truly wanted to kill you were the TianChu Martial Academy and Fang Ruyu, but you killed Wei Wuyi. The three great families, especially the Wei family, are no longer your enemies!"

Xia Xinghe shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. From the looks of it, he didn't place any importance on the three great clans or the TianChu Martial Academy. In his eyes, there was only Chu Qingcheng.

"We meet again. So your name is Xia Xinghe." Chu Qingcheng had seen a lot of men who were staring at her, but surprisingly, Xia Xinghe didn't make her feel any disgust. After that, she shifted her puzzled gaze onto the young beauty as she asked in puzzlement, "Lan Yiyi, what's going on?"

Hearing Chu Qingcheng's words, Lan Yiyi couldn't help but be stunned. She had never thought that Chu Qingcheng would actually know Xia Xingchen.

"Sister Qingcheng, it's like this …" After a moment of astonishment, Lan Yiyi recovered and did not hide anything. She told the Chu siblings everything about Xia Xinghe, including the three families' city hunting order, Wei Wuyi's identity, cultivation, and talent.

As for Wei Wu's death, Lan Yiyi was certain that it was caused by the attack of the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant hidden in the shadows.

As Lan Yiyi spoke, the tens of thousands of people that followed Xia Xinghe also spread out and surrounded the Lan family.

Everyone's gazes were fixated on Chu Qingcheng. After all, Chu Qingcheng was one of those peerless fairies that could suppress any beauty. Although Lan Yiyi was the number two beauty in Eastsea City, she couldn't be considered a beauty in front of Chu Qingcheng.

But of course, if Fang Ruyu was here, she would also be completely suppressed by Chu Qingcheng. Regardless of beauty, figure, temperament, or any other factors.

Without comparison, there would be no harm.

The tens of thousands of people gathered together seemed to be holding their breaths at the same time. This was because, Chu Qingcheng was truly beautiful to the point that it was suffocating!

As for whether or not Xia Xinghe killed Wei Wuyi, Chu Qingcheng was more inclined towards the idea of Lan Yiyi. After all, it was too inconceivable that the Heaven's Palace Mirror's fifth layer could suppress the talent of a dual genius at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Chu Qingcheng wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, Lan Yiyi was the first to speak.

Lan Yiyi cast a vigilant glance at Xia Xinghe, her tone somewhat cold. "You dragged Wei Wu's corpse here, are you trying to stir up a war between the Lan and Wei Families by bringing trouble to the east?"

The Lan family was once one of the three great families in Eastsea City. It was replaced by the Wei family because of an accident. This led to the relationship between the Lan family and the Wei family being very sensitive.

And now, Xia Xinghe had dragged Wei Wu's corpse back to the Lan family, this couldn't be blamed on Lan Yiyi.

"Yiyi, this must be a misunderstanding …" Chu Qingcheng glanced at Xia Xinghe, who remained unperturbed, and then at Lan Yiyi, who had an ice-cold expression on her face. She couldn't help but try to dissuade her.

"It can't be a misunderstanding. Sister Qingcheng, at this moment, once the Lan and Wei families start fighting, Xia Xinghe will be the one to reap the most benefits." Lan Yiyi said angrily.

Finally, Xia Xinghe shifted his gaze from Chu Qingcheng's beautiful face to Lan Yiyi, teasingly asking her, "Do I know you?"

"We don't know each other!" Lan Yiyi replied coldly.

"Since you don't know me, why should I instigate a fight between the Lan and Wei families for no reason?" The corners of Xia Xingchen's mouth curled up as he let out a mocking smile, saying indifferently, "The Wei family, or rather, the three great families of Eastsea City, are not worthy for me to use my brain."

No, this was only Xia Xinghe's true intention!

Wasn't the so-called three great clans of Eastsea City all because of the presence of three Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants?

A mere Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant like Xia Xinghe was nothing in his eyes!

However, although Xia Xinghe had told them his true thoughts, no one believed him …

"What an arrogant fellow!"

"Even if you have the support of a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, the three major clans have the support of three Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants!"

"He seems even more foolish than before."

The tens of thousands of people in the surroundings all began to roar, as though a huge boulder was pressing down on their chests.

Lan Yiyi stared intently at Xia Xinghe's unfathomable eyes. She discovered that she couldn't see through those unfathomable eyes of hers.

However, Xia Xinghe's arrogance made Lan Yiyi feel as if her throat was being stuck.

Xia Xinghe looked down on the three great families, which also meant that the Lan family couldn't enter his eyes!

In the end, Lan Yiyi was still infuriated by Xia Xinghe's arrogance. Not only that, her anger even caused her to forget about Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng's acquaintance.

"Leave this place with Wei Wu's corpse. The Lan family does not welcome you." Lan Yiyi's voice became even colder.

Xia Xinghe didn't say anything, but in the end, Chu Qingcheng couldn't hold it in any longer.

Chu Qingcheng raised her hand and pulled Lan Yi to her side. She whispered, "Yiyi, he can't leave because he might be able to heal Uncle Lan's internal injuries."

"Him?" Lan Yiyi's eyes were filled with shock as she stared at Chu Qingcheng, "Sister Qingcheng, you are the best doctor in Chu. Even you are unable to cure your father's internal injuries, how can he heal?"

"Remember that strange person I told you about? "He's the strange person who used the long-lost secret technique of acupuncture to heal Chu Rong's wounds." Seeing that Xia Xinghe didn't intend to stop her, Chu Qingcheng turned to Lan Yiyi, who was deep in thought, and continued to speak, "That person is Xia Xinghe. If he is willing to help, Uncle Lan's internal injuries will definitely heal completely!"

Chu Qingcheng's voice wasn't loud, but it resounded in the ears of the tens of thousands of people like a thunderclap!

The long-lost acupuncture techniques of Xia Xingchen?

Everyone, including Lan Yiyi, simultaneously looked at the incomparably calm Xia Xinghe. Their eyes were filled with extreme shock and astonishment!

The surroundings of the Lan family fell into a dead silence once again.

After quite a while, Lan Yiyi was the first to wake up from her shock. She pointed at Xia Xinghe and said dreamily, "He knows the acupuncture techniques?"

Xia Xinghe smiled gently at Chu Qingcheng, but didn't reply. He only cast a glance at the dumbstruck Lan Yiyi and teased, "It seems like you don't welcome me here too much."
