No matter the past life or the present life, the human heart is always the most difficult to guess!
After dark, Xia Houqing brought eight elders from the black market of Jinman City to Xiao Chen and Su Ruoxi. The nine entered the courtyard and were slightly taken aback when they saw Xiao Chen and Su Ruoxi!
However, seeing Su Ruoxi sitting alone near the door, and Xiao Chen sitting at a round table in the courtyard that Su Ruoxi took out, plus Xiao Chen said a word.
Xia Houqing and the others heard Xiao Chen's voice, and they all knelt in front of Xiao Chen and saluted, "I have seen the adults!"
Xiao Chen asked in his heart, "How is the young master?"
"Let them get up, all nine of them are under control, let them go and call the four elders in retreat here to have a look..." Su Ruoxi said after hearing the words.
Xiao Chen's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and he looked at Xia Houqing and said, "Get up!"
After Xia Houqing and the others got up, they found that Xiao Chen's face was a little ugly. They were a little overwhelmed and didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that there is someone who doesn't have long eyes to offend this uncle?
"Xiahouqing, didn't I ask you to bring the rest of the elders? Why did you only bring eight of them? If I remember correctly, there should be twelve elders in every black market, right?" Xiao Chen said. Slightly cold, he asked with a sullen face.
"Go back to your lord, the other four went to retreat with the hall master. It's been a long time since I left, so I didn't..." Xia Houqing hurriedly explained.
"So you, the Hall Master of Kingman Continent, have a higher status than me?" Xiao Chen asked in a cold tone.
"No, no, sir, calm down, I will send someone to wake up the hall master and the other four elders to come..." Xia Houqing was directly forced to kneel on the ground by Xiao Chen's coercion.
The other eight elders also felt the pressure of Xiao Chen's powerful God-king, and instantly could no longer have any thoughts of resistance, and their foreheads began to sweat!
"Don't ask people to look for them? Can they come by kneeling? Get up!" Xiao Chen slightly retracted his coercion and said to Xia Houqing.
"Master Xie, the first elder, the second elder, the third elder, the fourth elder, the four of you, please go and invite them to the hall master!" Xia Houqing turned to look at the four elders Xiao Chen met for the first time tonight.
"Okay, in charge!" The chief elder nodded and said.
Then turn around and leave the courtyard with the other three!
After the four of them left, Xiao Chen sat there and didn't say a word. Xia Houqing didn't dare to say anything. He could only stand there with the four elders in the afternoon, pretending to be a quail. He didn't dare to move or speak!
"Steward Xiahou, does it take so long for your hall master to retreat for so long?" Su Ruoxi, who was sitting at the door, asked indifferently.
"No, it's just this time. It was a long time ago. In the past, the hall master retreated, and usually he would go out once a few years, but the last time the hall master came back from the beast forest, he said that he had some insight and decided to retreat to break through the god king. At that time, because he was worried about the hall When the Lord breaks through the God King, there will be an accident, so the four elders of the nine accompany the hall master to retreat together!"
"I just didn't expect that this time they have been in seclusion for more than 4,000 years, and they haven't come out yet..." Xia Houqing said after thinking about it.
"Then the other four elders haven't been out yet?" Su Ruoxi asked curiously.
"That's not true. The ninth elders and the others have gone out a few times, but they said that the hall master is still in retreat,"
