Chapter 969 - The Lord of Flame City (2/2)

He Ziwei said, “It doesn’t matter even if that’s the case. Zhuo Wengong failed today. I have Young Master Qin now. Their plan will never come to fruition in the future.”

However, He Changqing’s expression was grave. He said, “Zhuo Wangsun is an extremely greedy person. He won’t give up so easily. Since his plan did not work, he’ll definitely have to use force.

“Today, Little Qin injured Zhuo Wengong, which gave him a reason to take action. I think Lord Mansion will take action against our He Family soon.”

Hearing this, Qin Haodong sighed in his heart. He had thought that he was just an innocent party in this event. However, he didn’t expect to get into so much trouble.

He Ziwei said, “How is that possible? Father, aren’t you worrying too much?

“Our He Family is the number one family in Flame City, with a heritage of several thousand years. Moreover, my Second Uncle is in Rosefinch City. I don’t think Zhuo Wangsun will make a move against us.

“Besides, even if he dares to make a move, there are many masters in our He Family. Are we afraid of him?”

He Changqing said, “Zhuo Wangsun will definitely not let this matter go so easily. Although the He Family is powerful, we cannot fight against the Lord. If we act recklessly, we will still suffer in the end.”

Qin Haodong frowned slightly. He felt that the geezer didn’t seem to be telling the whole truth. At least, there were still some things that appeared to have been kept secret.

He Ziwei asked, “Then, what should we do?”

He Changqing thought for a moment and said, “Let’s head to Rosefinch City now.

“No matter how powerful Zhuo Wangsun is, his power is limited to Flame City. After we arrive at Rosefinch City, I’m afraid he won’t be able to make any trouble because of your Second Uncle.”

“Father, are we leaving now? Isn’t it too hasty?”

He Ziwei really didn’t want to leave in such a hurry. After all, today was the day of choosing her destined one.

According to the tradition of Flame City, since her destined one had already been chosen, she and Qin Haodong would have to enter the bridal chamber at night.

“We have to leave now. Moreover, we have to act fast. Otherwise, it might be too late.”

He Changqing was extremely decisive. He turned around and said to He Zhong, “I’ll let you manage the He Mansion for now. I’ll go with Ziwei to Rosefinch City. We will come back in a few days.”

He Zhong said, “Don’t worry, Master. I will take good care of our family.”

He Changqing nodded and said to He Ziwei and Qin Haodong, “We’re leaving right now.”

He Ziwei said, “Father, don’t you need to bring more people?”

He Changqing said, “No need. The three of us will be only a small group, so we can’t be easily discovered.

“This is Flame City, Zhuo Wangsun’s territory. If there is too much movement within our family and too many people leaving, I’m afraid it will immediately attract his attention.”

He Ziwei nodded. “Alright! I’ll listen to you.”

He Changqing arranged for a carriage. The three of them sat in the carriage and left the city. Then, they rose into the air, stepped on their flying swords, and flew toward Rosefinch City.

Qin Haodong found it funny. He just became the husband of He Ziwei, and now he was running away. What was going on?!

However, it was a good thing for him to go to Rosefinch City. His current goal was to find a chance to enter Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. It was better for him to go to Rosefinch City. It would be best if he could find the exact location of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring.

Moreover, judging from the conversation between the father and daughter, He Ziwei’s Second Uncle seemed to have a high status in Rosefinch City. Perhaps, her Second Uncle could be of some help to his plan.

He Ziwei said, “Father, we have left. Will he attack our family members?”

“Definitely not,” He Changqing said. “As long as we are alive, the He Family won’t fall. If he makes a rash move, he’ll only bring trouble to himself.

“Thus, they would be safer if we leave them.

“But I have a bad feeling now. I’m afraid that the old geezer Zhuo Wangsun won’t let us go so easily. We have to speed up.”

Among the three of them, He Changqing was at the late stage of the Combination Realm. Qin Haodong and He Ziwei were at the early stage of the Combination Realm. They flew very fast. After a few hours, they had flown far away from the boundary of Flame City.

He Ziwei said, “Father, we’re already 5,000 kilometers away from Flame City. I think you might be overthinking it. Maybe Zhuo Wangsun doesn’t have that idea at all.”

He Changqing frowned. “That shouldn’t be the case. It’s the nature of Zhuo Wangsun to attack us.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha! Geezer He, you really understand me!”

With a burst of wild laughter, dozens of figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

The leader was a middle-aged man about 50 years old and clad in a luxurious robe. He was fat and looked very amiable, but his eyes shone with a harsh light.

He was the Lord of Flame City, Zhuo Wangsun. Beside him was Zhuo Wengong whose face was still pale. It seemed that he had been kicked hard by Qin Haodong.

The father and son were followed by 30 men in black. All of them had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. Their bodies were full of powerful momentum.

Zhuo Wangsun looked at He Changqing and said, “Family Master He, where are you going in such a hurry?”

He Changqing said, “Your Excellency, as you know that today is the wedding day of my daughter.

“Ziwei’s luck is good. She found a good son-in-law for me. I’m going to take the two of them to Rosefinch City to see my second brother.”

“Really? I have this feeling that you guys are running away,” Zhuo Wangsun said. “I don’t care about your daughter’s wedding, but that boy injured my son. He has to give me an explanation!”
