Chapter 846

At these words, the Zhao family man's face grew even more grim.

He gritted his teeth and asked: "What's your real name?"

He was sent here on Zhao Fengwu's orders to find someone.

If this kid turns out to be that person, he wouldn't dare act rashly.

If not, then he could kill him.

So he needed to find out.

Xu Chen sneered: "What are you, to demand I tell you?"

Xu Chen didn't care who this man was, because it didn't affect the plot.

The only one he cared about was Zhao Fengwu, the Examiner.

If Zhao Fengwu asked him, he might answer a few words.

This man wasn't even worthy.

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family man's face turned utterly grim.

He was about to join forces with the Zhao woman over there and strike again.

Nearby, Zhao Qinglian spoke coolly:

"What else do you intend to do, Zhao Yong?"

The Zhao family man's name was Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong's expression shifted slightly upon seeing Zhao Qinglian.

Was it Zhao Qinglian? Had she also come to this stage?

Zhao Yong no longer dared to hide anything.

He immediately said: "It's because Elder Fengwu wants to find someone."

Zhao Qinglian faintly sensed the issue.

She asked coolly: "Who?"

Zhao Yong said bitterly:

"A man named Xu Chen. I have a vague sketch of him."

I just saw this kid and thought he looked like Xu Chen, so I asked."

"Who knew this kid was so stubborn?"

Zhao Qinglian snorted: "Why does Zhao Fengwu want Xu Chen?"

Her tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Could Zhao Fengwu have some connection to Xu Chen?

That shouldn't be possible.

She was Zhao Fengwu's junior sister.

But she'd never heard Xu Chen had any ties to Zhao Fengwu.

At least since childhood, she'd never seen Zhao Fengwu associate with any man.

And Zhao Fengwu has always been here—how could she have ever met Xu Chen?

Zhao Yong said:

"I don't know. Elder Fengwu ordered it—I dared not ask why."

"Lady Qinglian, do you know this man?"

Zhao Qinglian replied flatly: "He's my future husband. What do you think? Where is Zhao Fengwu?"

Xu Chen: "......"

Don't say things like that, big sister.

Zhao Yong: "......"

Zhao Yong's face turned utterly pale: "She's still in seclusion. I dare not disturb her."

Hearing this, Xu Chen immediately rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Could it be that Zhao Fengwu also has memories from her past life?

Damn, that's going to be a problem!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinglian snorted coldly:

"What's left to cultivate in her Bathing in Fire Imperial Path?"

Isn't she just trying to transform it into Bath Fire Law?"

She's been trying for years—still no progress?"

What's the point of secluding herself? Wasting time."

Zhao Qinglian, whose temper was already bad to begin with,

became even worse upon hearing Zhao Yong's words.

Her gaze at Xu Chen now carried a hint of wounded resentment.

As if to say: You really know how to flirt with every woman.

Xu Chen's scalp prickled.

Flirt with every woman? That's called tricking an Imperial Path, you idiot!

He was a professional at this.

In his ninety-nine past lives, he hadn't just tricked women.

He'd tricked plenty of men too—and the clever ones he just killed outright.

As a villain, you have to be decisive.

It was just that Zhao Qinglian and Zhao Fengwu happened to both be his targets.

After all, anyone who walked the Emperor's Dao would draw his attention.

It was that simple.

Utterly pure.

Zhao Qinglian gave a cold snort and said, "Tell her to come out."

Zhao Yong turned meek and compliant, no longer the icy figure from moments ago:

"T-this, I wouldn't dare disturb Lord Fengwu.

If I did, I'd probably be the one to suffer for it. You'd better call her yourself, my lord."

"Useless trash, what good are you?

The man beside me, my future husband, is Xu Chen.

You couldn't even tell that much—do you have any sense of perception?"

Zhao Yong: "......"

Big Sis, you didn't say anything just now either.

That bastard Xu Chen didn't say anything either.

What was he supposed to do? He was desperate too.

He was one of the Examiners.

To be roasted like this by Xu Chen.

It was already utterly humiliating, utterly dignity-destroying, alright?

Being roasted would be one thing, but he also got hit.

Worst of all, he didn't even dare make a peep right now.

How miserable was he?

He was simply the most miserable Examiner in the entire history of the Zhao Family.

Without exception.

Therefore, with tears he could not shed, he said:

"Fine, as long as it's good enough for Xu Chen.

I'll go report right now."

Having said that, Zhao Yong dared not hesitate any longer.
