Coming back to his senses, everything came back to him clearly. After his sixth sister disappeared, his father went crazy looking for her. After searching the city for a month without finding any trace of her, he specially set up a military department to look for Chu Xiaoxiao. But after so many years, there was still no news.

I didn't expect to meet her here, and for a moment I couldn't even remember her. But over the years, she has grown from that crying little girl into a graceful young lady.

"Zhuochuan, call me Sixth Aunt!"

Chu Zhuochuan heard a dignified voice from his father beside him. He knew that his father was serious, so he naturally did not dare to be arrogant. He bowed respectfully to Chu Xiaoxiao, but when he was about to call for help, Chu Xiaoxiao said, "No need, we will leave here as soon as the matter is over."

This made Chu Zhuochuan, who was still bending over, dazed, not knowing what to do, but he immediately called out, "Hello, Sixth Aunt."

Regardless of whether he felt embarrassed or not, he still called Chu Xiaoxiao respectfully. This was the etiquette of the imperial family, and he couldn't not do it just because of what others said. It was also the foundation of his life as a human being.

"Forget it, if you want to scream, go ahead, I won't stop you."

Chu Xiaoxiao was also somewhat helpless. He knew the etiquette and stopped trying to stop them. After all, he couldn't deprive others of their right to speak. That would make him a robber.

Chu Zhuochuan seemed unable to see Xiaoxiao clearly. From the first time he saw this aunt he had never met before, she had always exuded a vague aura. If he had not paid close attention to her, he would not have noticed that someone was here at all. It was as if she was transparent. Moreover, the aura she exuded made him feel that she was more dangerous than the young man next to him.

As a martial artist, he is naturally much more sensitive to danger than ordinary people, and this is how he feels now.

"Here is a fake death pill. It allows you to pretend to be seriously ill, or even put you into a state of fake death. However, this pill will have some effects on your body."

"And here's the method to cancel the suspended animation. Take it too."

Chu Xiaoxiao took out a black pill from her arms. It was dull and had a faint brown color. It looked like an ordinary pill.

The way to end suspended animation is to massage the Tianchong and Qimen acupoints on the human body for a cup of tea's time, and the person in suspended animation will slowly wake up.

The so-called Tianchong point is three fingers forward from the ear, and the Qimen point is three fingers below the heart.

After the dinner, Chu Xiaoxiao told Chu Jiangruan that she wanted to go to Qingxin Palace to see her mother. She had been in Chuwang City for so long but never had time to visit her.

Chu Jiangruan agreed without hesitation and handed them two tokens, which allowed them to enter and leave the palace freely.

Chu Xiaoxiao did not shirk and picked up the two tokens, throwing one to Yun Changan, and then said to him, "You go back with Miss Hanlan first. As for investigating the people in the palace, I will go and investigate after seeing my mother."

After saying that, Chu Xiaoxiao left here alone and went to Qingxin Palace.

Yun Changan followed Chu Hanlan out of the palace.

On the way, Chu Jiangruan and his companions came to the Zhenbei General's Mansion because they wanted to visit their master's wife, Ren Tianchang's wife, and Chu Hanlan's grandparents.

When leaving King Jing's Palace, everyone tacitly kept silent about the matter, including Yun Chang'an and the others' identities. They just regarded them as Chu Hanlan's servants.

On the way, Chu Zhuochuan kept staring at Yun Changan, as if he wanted to see through him. Yun Changan gave him a very unusual feeling. The blood in his body was burning, as if he had found a strong opponent and wanted to fight him.

But Yun Chang'an didn't say a word along the way. He just walked silently behind the group of people. When he saw Chu Zhuochuan coming, he didn't even look up.

"You are strong."

He just heard Chu Zhuochuan speaking to him in a very low voice. Only the two of them could hear this voice, and no one else could hear anything.

Yun Chang'an just responded politely and didn't want to have too much contact with him, but this guy stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster and kept talking, which made Yun Chang'an very annoyed. Finally, he couldn't stand the guy's mumbling anymore, so he quickened his pace and walked forward, but this dog-skin plaster couldn't be shaken off, and he even said to him that he wanted to fight him.

But even so, Yun Changan ignored him. He knew that they were not from the same world. How could a mortal body be able to defeat a cultivator?

If I agree to his request, wouldn't that be an unfair victory? If I let him win during the competition, he will definitely not agree. But if I don't agree to him, I'm afraid I won't have a restful day for a while. He looks like a man who will not give up until he achieves his goal.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Yun Chang'an agreed to his request, but not today. It was already very late today, and Yun Chang'an just wanted to go back and rest, so they agreed to come to his residence tomorrow to find him and have the competition.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of General Zhenbei's Mansion. However, the people who had just arrived in the royal city were very confused. When did the people on the street become so few? There were no civilians on the street at all, and the shops on both sides of the street were also closed.

Although I had some doubts in my mind, I didn't think too much about it. Seeing that it was already dark, I thought that maybe it was because it was too late that there weren't so many people around.

The group walked into the mansion and sighed at how much it had changed. They had been here before when they had been far away from the border town. At that time, there was no small bamboo forest in front of them. Now, this small bamboo forest is quiet and has a unique flavor.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Yun Chang'an left and returned to his residence alone. Chu Zhuochuan's eyes seemed to be attached to him, staring at him until he left.

Chu Kangyuan called him twice but failed to wake him up, so he kicked him, and he finally came to his senses from the stare. "You little brat, you are not attracted to him, are you? What are you staring at?"

Chu Zhuochuan was sobered up by the angry sound and he explained hurriedly, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? He agreed to compete with me."

"Don't think I don't know what you talked about along the way. You only annoyed her so much that she agreed to your request. You are almost an adult, why are you messing around with a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid? If you can beat her, it's an unfair victory. If you can't, then you'll be embarrassed."

Chu Zhuochuan ignored his father's ridicule and just asked him who he thought would win the competition.

Chu Kangyuan ignored him and just snorted coldly and walked forward. He saw General Ren's wife. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Chu Zhuochuan could only touch his nose and follow his father's footsteps, then turned around and asked Chu Hanlan the same question.

Chu Hanlan thought about it seriously before giving the answer. She was certain that Young Master Chang'an would win. This made him feel deflated instantly and he ignored her. However, he secretly made up his mind that he would defeat him tomorrow and let them see who was the most powerful.
