Chen Zongzhe glanced at her phone, then fixed his gaze on her face. "No, it's not much money. Don't be so polite!"

"How can that be? Tell me now!"

Chen Zongzhe smiled helplessly and said, "It's really just a few dollars. It's too polite to go around like this. How about this, when your foot is healed, treat me to a meal. What do you think?"

"Ah? Well...that's fine!"

Lin Xiangxiang knew that Chen Zongzhe didn't want to take her money, but she also didn't want him to pay for her medical expenses for nothing. Treating him to a meal to express her gratitude seemed like a good idea!

Chen Zongzhe drove Lin Xiangxiang to Meidi Community.

This was his first time visiting Lin Xiangxiang's home. Although the house was not big, it was clean and tidy.

Lin Xiangxiang was very grateful to him and enthusiastically invited him to sit on the sofa. Then she took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to her. "Here, it's so hot, and I'm sorry to bother you running around."

Chen Zongzhe didn't bother to be polite with her. He took the Coke from her hand and said:

"Well, if you really feel embarrassed, just treat me to two meals!"

Lin Xiangxiang burst out laughing and replied generously: "Not impossible!"

Chen Zongzhe raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "So easy to talk to? Then I'll have to help you more in the future, so that everyone will take care of your meals."

Ah this...

"Please, why do I need help with so many things?"

Seeing that Chen Zongzhe had finished drinking the Coke, Lin Xiangxiang said to him:

"It's already noon, you should go back soon. Thank you so much today!"

Chen Zongzhe was worried, "If I go back, what will you do with your meals?"

Lin Xiangxiang said as a matter of course: "That's easy, I'll just order takeout! I don't have to go down to get it anyway."

Chen Zongzhe hesitated and didn't say anything. How could she stay at home alone with an injured foot?

But he has no identity and no excuse to stay!

Finally, he said, "Okay, then I'll go back!"

He also specifically instructed, "But if the wound hurts too much, or if there's anything you need help with, call me and I'll come right over."

Lin Xiangxiang replied with a smile: "I know, Mr. Chen, thank you for your concern!"

Dayue.

In Xie Beiheng's room.

An Yi, dressed in black, bowed respectfully to Xie Beiheng and reported, "Master, the people we previously dispatched to Lingqu City have confirmed that Leng Wuqing had indeed appeared there. However, when our people followed the trail Leng Wuqing left behind, they were unable to catch up with him. His movements were extremely strange and elusive. Only today did we discover... that he had already arrived in the capital early this morning."

Xie Beiheng was surprised: "Leng Wuqing has already arrived in the capital? You just found out this news today?"

An Yi immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head to apologize, "Master, I have failed to perform my duties properly. Please punish me!"

Xie Beiheng said coldly: "Forget it, Leng Wuqing's martial arts are still better than mine, it is expected that you can't keep up with him."

Speaking of Leng Wuqing, the former leader of the Life and Death Sect, he was a feared person in the martial arts world. As long as he wanted to kill someone, there would be no possibility for that person to survive.

Except for those inside the Gate of Life and Death, almost everyone who has seen his true face has died at the hands of his sword. Therefore, there are very few people in the world who know his true face.

However, the Chixiao sword in his hand is known to everyone.

Leng Wuqing's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of perfection. If it comes to a one-on-one fight, no one in the world can be his opponent!

An Yi lowered his head and said, "Master, what should we do next? Please give us your instructions."

"With your abilities, you won't be able to catch up with him. Since he has already arrived in the capital, he will definitely come to the Marquis' Mansion soon.

"You must immediately recall all the secret guards scattered across the capital!"

"Yes, master." Before he finished speaking, An Yi disappeared in Xie Beiheng's room.

Xie Beiheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, after a moment.

Shouted: "Xu Chong!"

Hearing the prince calling him, Xu Chong immediately walked into the room and came to Xie Beiheng, "I'm here!"

Xie Beiheng stared at Xu Chong, narrowed his eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Pass on this prince's order, and have all the Xue Cang guards return to their teams within today!"

Xu Chong's heart was shocked!

All the Snow Guards? But...

Xu Chong looked embarrassed, but he quickly replied, "Prince, except for the fifty Xue Cang Guards from Feixing Academy, the remaining fifty Xue Cang Guards are all in the army."

Xue Cang Guard was a guard troop formed by Xie Beiheng himself when he was thirteen years old. Xu Chong was the captain of Xue Cang Guard. Every Xue Cang Guard had high martial arts skills and extraordinary abilities, and they only obeyed the orders of Xie Beiheng.

Xie Beiheng went to war when he was fourteen years old. He brought fifty Xue Cang Guards with him and broke them into small groups to join the army. Other people in the army did not know that they were Xue Cang Guards.

After that, these people stayed in the army, ready to be dispatched by Xie Beiheng at any time.

Now we have to get them all back to Feixingyuan within a day, and what about the military...

Xie Beiheng's voice was icy and his attitude was firm: "I will say it again, let them all return to the team today!"

Xu Chong no longer hesitated and quickly responded, "Yes! I will convey the prince's order right away!"

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, his figure quickly disappearing outside the door.

The time comes in the afternoon.

All the Xue Cang guards and secret guards were in place and were quietly lurking around Feixing Courtyard.

For a moment, the entire Feixing Academy was like an iron barrel. The atmosphere was tense and filled with a murderous aura.

Since learning the news that Leng Wuqing had arrived in the capital this morning, Xie Beiheng had never set foot out of Feixing Academy.

If Leng Wuqing wanted to take someone's life, he didn't need to estimate the opponent's strength or deploy defenses in advance. As long as he wanted, even in the midst of thousands of troops, taking the enemy's head would be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Because of this, everyone expected that he would come to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion tonight, so everyone was on high alert and prepared for battle.

However, after a long night, there was still no sign of Leng Wuqing.

The next morning.

Liu Lan took a letter and walked into Feixingyuan to find Xie Beiheng.

"Sir, this is the reply from Marquis Jing'an to Madam. Madam asked me to bring it to you."

Xie Beiheng took the letter from Liu Lan's hand, but did not open it on the spot. Instead, he held it in his hand and said to Liu Lan, "Aunt, I got the letter. You should go back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard and don't come to Feixing Courtyard for the next few days."

Liu Lan was surprised and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Xie Beiheng said in a deep voice: "Aunt, there is no need to ask, just listen to me!"

Seeing Xie Beiheng's solemn expression, Liu Lan couldn't help but feel worried, but she didn't dare to disobey his order. "Yes, Prince, I will go back immediately."

Liu Lan immediately left Feixing Courtyard and rushed back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he went straight to Mrs. Bai's room and reported to her in detail what had happened in his meeting with Xie Beiheng.
