"Forget it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Luo Hao sat on the grass again, feeling dejected as he stared at the lake in front of him. The lake's surface had changed from its previous tranquil state to a night wind with ripples on it.

Suddenly, Zao Chuan struck out from behind him with a heavy punch. Luo Hao let out a soft cry, it was partly because he was shocked, and partly because it was really painful.

"What are you doing?" Do you believe that I won't cripple you? "

Luo Hao was clear about Zao Chuan's personality, but he did not hesitate, and immediately scolded him.

Zao Chuan did not want Luo Hao to have such a huge reaction, he laughed out loud: "I just want to see if you are made of iron or not."

"What do you mean?"

Zao Chuan laughed: Other people are eating, but you are sitting here daydreaming, could it be that if you are made of iron, you don't need to eat?

Actually, it was not that Luo Hao did not want to eat, but he felt that this atmosphere was strange. No one paid him any attention, and no one asked him to go over to eat.

A beggar?

However, Luo Hao laughed, even though this joke was not funny.

"Here you go."

Zao Chuan passed a piece of roast meat to Luo Hao.

Luo Hao looked at him, and without being polite, took the barbecue meat and started to eat.

At the same time, Luo Hao looked at the rest of the people, the guards were eating around the fire, although there were many people, they were very quiet, and almost no one said a word.

The lights on the carriage were very bright, and one could clearly see the figure of a woman sitting inside. However, Luo Hao had followed this person for a long time, but had never seen the young miss of the Zhou family walk out of the carriage. Even when it was time for dinner, the servant Ling'er brought it into the carriage to eat.

"Oh right, why did that person call you over?"

Luo Hao retracted his gaze and asked Zao Chuan.

"His name is Zhou Xuan."

Zao Chuan did not answer Luo Hao's question.

The look in Zao Chuan's eyes changed, as though he was extremely respectful to that person, and "he …"

Of course it referred to the man dressed in purple who was leading the group.

He is a descendant of the side branch of the Xitang's Zhou family, his position in the Zhou family is very high, all of us are orphans, the Zhou family raised us up and allowed us to cultivate, while Zhou Xuan is normally in charge of our cultivation, we respect him, and we are all loyal to the Zhou family, which is why the family head allowed us to carry out the mission of escorting the young miss.

He still did not answer Luo Hao's question.

Luo Hao nodded his head, but he was still a little confused. Zao Chuan was able to see through this, and explained while smiling: "Our Young Miss is extremely powerful, and is recognized as one of the geniuses in the entire Lingxiao Kingdom. Two years ago, our Young Miss was selected as an inner disciple by the number one sect in the Linzhou, and has been cultivating in the world since then.

Earthly Paradise?

Immediately, Luo Hao's hands froze. He did not expect that the young miss Zhou holding the barbecue meat was actually a disciple of the heavens, he immediately thought of Situ Yanran, and guessed that the young miss Zhou knew Situ Yanran.

But, since the young miss Zhou and Situ Yanran were both from Genius Girl, then their relationship should not be considered good. Luo Hao thought like that, but then he thought of another thing that Zao Chuan had said.

"An engagement?"

"Yes, our young mistress has been engaged to the young master of the Yao Family since she was young."

"Yao Family?"

"Don't tell me you don't even know the Yao Family?"

Zao Chuan was shocked.

However, Zao Chuan was immediately relieved: "In Lingxiao Kingdom, the Zhou Family, the Lingnan Yao Family, and the Eastern Mountain Jiang Family, not only are they extremely powerful, they are also as wealthy as nations. The patriarch of the Yao Family is even known to all as the God of Fortune."

Luo Hao nodded again, but he did not show any emotion on his face.

"How come you didn't react at all?"

"What's the matter? What does all this have to do with me?"

Luo Hao pretended to be innocent.

Luo Hao only felt that those things had nothing to do with him, that the Zhou family and Yao Family that Zao Chuan had mentioned had nothing to do with him. Or rather, those big powers were too far away, he had always been someone with a clear goal.

"However, according to what you said, your Young Miss must have a rather high cultivation base. Why did you take so much trouble to return home?"

Although Luo Hao felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, he was still unable to conceal his curiosity.

Zao Chuan laughed coldly: "Although the marriage between Yao Family and our Zhou Family is a good thing, not everyone wants to see it happen."

"Such as?"

"Shake the Jiang Family from the east."

In truth, all of this was not a secret. Everyone knew about the schemes and battles between the Lingxiao Kingdom and the other three forces, but Luo Hao's level was still too low.

On the contrary, he seemed to actually like explaining these things to Luo Hao. After all, these things were all good things to talk about after dinner.

Furthermore, what Luo Hao did not know was that the patriarch of the Jiang Family had actually died inside the Xunyao Mausoleum, and Zhou Xueying had another brother. That elder brother was Zhou Chuanning, whom he had met before in the Xunyao Mausoleum.

The night was getting darker, and even the piles of flames were unable to open the deep darkness.

After an unknown period of time, the fire within the carriage became weaker and weaker, almost to the point of extinguishing. However, the light within the carriage remained bright.

Most of the Zhou family guards had fallen asleep, and only a few were on guard duty.

Luo Hao was still sitting by the lake. He took one last look at the carriage, then retracted his thoughts and started to meditate, exactly thinking about the Sky Dragon Fist that he had gotten from the Xunyao Mausoleum that day.

Unknowingly, after meditating for a long time, everything in his surroundings turned into nothingness. Luo Hao entered into a world with only himself, however, that was only a dream.

Sometimes, dreams were real, but most of them were just illusions. One could only see the warm ocean and the fluffy white clouds. That kind of feeling was very comfortable, so even if it was illusions, they were still beautiful illusions.

The dream was very short, so Luo Hao woke up very early.

In truth, it was not considered early, because not long after Luo Hao woke up, the Zhou family's people quickly packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.

They continued onward until they reached the depths of Chong Mountain. Logically speaking, the mountain should have been lush and verdant, but what surprised them was that it was surrounded by a desolate and somber atmosphere.

There were not many trees on the mountain, only a few, but they were very thick. The grass at the bottom of the mountain was very deep, but very sparse.

The day's temperature had dropped tremendously. The sky was covered by heavy dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment.

Luo Hao was still walking at the back of the group. After entering the deep mountains, Zao Chuan, who was walking in front of him, no longer had his previous relaxed state and everyone had become very serious.

Other than Luo Hao, because his thoughts were not here at all.

He looked at the carriage before him and finally made up his mind.

Luo Hao sped up, passing through a few guards, and arrived at the side of the horse carriage. This was the first time he had approached this horse carriage.

The guard beside the horse carriage raised the halberd in his hands to stop Luo Hao. The man did not have any expression on his face, but mechanically he said, "Stop!"

The voice was not loud, but everyone heard it.

The convoy suddenly stopped, the man in purple who was walking right at the front, Zhou Xuan, turned and looked at Luo Hao, his gaze like lightning.

"What does he want?"

Behind him, Zao Chuan's face revealed a bit of worry. Naturally, he was worried for Luo Hao, worried that he would do something out of bounds.

Luo Hao naturally noticed Zhou Xuan's expression, but he ignored him and continued to ride his horse forward until he reached the front of the carriage.

The old coachman opened his drowsy eyes and looked at Luo Hao. His gaze was very warm and was the complete opposite of those guards, but he was also confused, so everyone should be confused.

These proud and arrogant Zhou Family members did not even put Luo Hao in their eyes. If Luo Hao had not spoken a word on the way, perhaps they would have forgotten about Luo Hao's existence. But now, he had walked into their line of sight in a strange way.

Luo Hao respectfully nodded to the coachman, just at this time, a corner of the carriage's curtain was lifted, and a head peeked out.

It was the maid, Ling'er.

"What is it?"

Seeing that it was Luo Hao, Ling'er was surprised, then became impatient and asked.

"I came to say goodbye to Miss Zhou."

With that, the entire audience fell silent.

Ling'er's mouth was agape. She was just about to reprimand Luo Hao, but he did not expect Luo Hao to say such a thing. He did not know how to respond.

"You really don't know what's good for you."

The servant girl Ling'er said as she gritted her teeth.

Luo Hao smiled and did not speak, he only waited for the young miss of the Zhou family in the carriage to speak.

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Xueying finally spoke, her tone slightly cold.

"Hongwu."

"Hongwu only has five top-ranked sects, which one do you belong to?"

"No sect."

"In that case, why did you agree to follow us?"

Luo Hao was stunned for a moment, and did not know how to reply, so he could only answer honestly: "I don't know either."

The lady in the carriage also stopped talking, she remembered what Zhou Xuan had asked her last night: "Why did you choose that guy?"

And her answer was, "I don't know."

Luo Hao had been waiting for Zhou Xueying to continue speaking, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement from inside the carriage. Luo Hao thought for a while, thinking that she had tacitly agreed to it, he turned around and prepared to leave, but thinking that the horse belonged to someone else, he prepared to dismount.

However, Luo Hao's body suddenly stiffened.

The hillside on both sides of the road was completely covered by a black mist. The sparse weeds at the bottom of the mountain began to sway, and the wind began to moan like it was crying.

It was a black arrow. The speed of the arrow was extremely fast, so fast that only a black shadow could be seen.

It was an extremely sharp arrow!

The arrow carried a trace of sadness, as well as tears.
