Miao Wang chased to the window, looking at the little Lan who was already gone, and then looked at the lost photo on the table, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
“Don’t worry, you’ll know everything tomorrow night…”
A sinister look flashed across Miao Wang’s eyes.
Just as King Miao was about to turn and go back to bed, a figure flashed in a corner. It was Chen Ping.
Chen Ping looked at Miao Wang’s bedroom window, his face turning cold. “This old man, it seems that Xiaolan’s parents are really related to him…”
When Chen Ping rushed back to Xiaolan’s bedroom, Xiaolan had already returned. Seeing Chen Ping come back from outside, Xiaolan immediately asked cautiously, “What were you doing?”
“I need to use the bathroom, I’m so uncomfortable but they won’t let me go!” Chen Ping yawned and then asked Xiao Lan, “As for you, what were you doing out in your nightgown in the middle of the night?”
“”
Xiaolan took off her nightgown and lay back on her bed, clutching the photograph tightly in her hand. She decided to take the photo to question Miao Wang tomorrow and find out who the girl in the picture was.
…………
The next morning, Xiao Lan brought Chen Ping to the Miao King’s residence. By this time, many people had already gathered in the hall.
“Later, pretend you’ve lost all your skill, but don’t let anyone see that you still have some…”
Xiaolan instructed Chen Ping.
“Why?” Chen Ping asked.
Just do as I say, don’t ask so many questions.
Xiaolan glared at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping could only nod and followed Xiaolan into the hall.
Because of what happened last night when she snuck into Miao Wang’s room, Xiaolan didn’t dare to look at Miao Wang. However, Miao Wang acted as if nothing had happened, just like he normally did.
The Miao King beckoned to Xiaolan, who quickly walked up to him. However, she kept her head down and didn’t dare to look up.
“Did you give that散功 powder to Chen Ping?”
The Miao King asked Xiao Lan.
“Master, I’ve already given it to him. Now his power is gone, he’s just an ordinary person…”
Xiaolan nodded.
“Well, that’s good. Once you train the Corpse King, your foster father won’t treat you badly…”
The Miao King nodded in satisfaction and waved for Xiaolan to leave.
Just then, a member of the Miao village rushed into the hall and reported to the Miao king: “Miao King, Mr. Xia requests an audience…”
When the Miao King heard this, he jumped up from his seat. The five councilors sitting on either side of him also stood up nervously.
Originally intending to leave, Xiaolan also stopped her steps.
Chen Ping saw the nervous looks on everyone’s faces and guessed that this Xia Gongzi must be a very powerful figure, otherwise Miao Wang wouldn’t be so panicked.
“How many people did Xia Chao bring?”
The King of Miao addressed his subordinates.
“Reporting to the King of Miao, I only brought two attendants. Young Master Xia said he was following the King of Miao to discuss matters, not seeking revenge…”
Then said the members of the Miao village.
Miao Wang frowned slightly: “Talk about things? What can we talk about? Could there be a trick here?”
“King of the Miao, with hundreds of our disciples poisoned to death by Heaven Martial Sect that day, they wouldn’t hesitate to seek revenge. I think there’s something fishy going on here. We should gather everyone in the village now and prepare to defend against Heaven Martial Sect’s attack…”
Dali stepped forward and said.
“King of the Miao, since it’s Xia Chao himself who came, bringing only two attendants, I think we have no need to fear him. Let him in, what could he possibly do? If Xia Chao tries any tricks, we can still capture him and use him to pressure the Heavenly Martial Sect…”
The Second Lord spoke up as well.
“Yes, Second Brother is right. There were only three of them. I’m not afraid of what he could do!”
“Let them in, three people can’t make much of a splash…”
Several other bigwigs also support letting Xia Chao in.
