Chapter 207: The Sudden Burst of Power!
On both sides, the people reluctantly bid farewell, and then Chu Yang led Ji Mo and the others, racing against the wind and snow, disappearing in an instant into the vast whiteness.
Watching Chu Yang and the others leave, Cheng Yunhe grabbed a handful of snow, rubbed his hands vigorously, and then boarded the carriage. With a command, the convoy slowly set off.
"My lord, why give him a jade token? These people clearly have ill intentions!" A martial sovereign sitting opposite him asked, confused.
"Am I not aware of their ill intentions? However, these individuals clearly display a majestic presence, and they are all young and full of vitality, evidently not ordinary experts! Therefore, they are definitely not people from the Butian Pavilion, that much can be confirmed." Cheng Yunhe closed his eyes and said solemnly.
"That's true. Although these individuals are arrogant, it's clear they have been well-cared for, and each one is a proud figure. With Chu King of Hell's Butian Pavilion, I'm afraid he couldn't attract such people." The martial sovereign expert frowned and said, "In my opinion, these people seem to be descendants of noble families, and ordinary families wouldn't be able to cultivate such talents."
"Right!" Cheng Yunhe said: "No matter what their purpose is, first, they do not intend to wipe us out, nor do they seem inclined to report to Chu King of Hell, indicating their stance is ambiguous. Secondly, they have subtly hinted at going to the Great Zhao, and thirdly, and most importantly, he once inadvertently mentioned a phrase. It was this phrase that made me give him the jade pendant."
"What phrase?"
"'Isn't this just a trial? Where else would I go?'" Cheng Yunhe said lightly. "Trial… In today's world, who is undergoing trials? Which families are undergoing trials?"
"My lord means... these people might be descendants of noble families from the Middle Three Heavens?" The martial sovereign expert's eyes widened in surprise.
"Exactly!" Cheng Yunhe pondered: "During the fight, these individuals did not seem to get along well, and they do not share surnames. They might come from several families… Hmm, remember that white-clothed boy who came out first? They called him 'Rocky Luo', right?"
"Yes, that's the name."
"Um, the one who teased him the most seems to be called 'Lonely'? Or 'Ji Mo'? It should be one of those two pronunciations." Cheng Yunhe continued, "And the last one who asked for the shadow throne introduced himself as 'Gu'!" Cheng Yunhe concluded: "This indicates that these people are at least from three major noble families of the Middle Three Heavens!"
"Once we go back and inquire... we will know who these people are..." Cheng Yunhe said leisurely: "Such individuals are better as friends than foes. If they come to the Great Zhao... haha, even Lord Xiang must treat them well; but when they will come is uncertain. That's why I left them a jade pendant; as long as they keep this jade pendant, once they arrive at the Great Zhao, they will think of me, and thinking of me increases the chances they will seek me out... that’s better than searching for a needle in a haystack, right?"
"Indeed! My lord is truly meticulous and far-sighted." The martial sovereign expert admired wholeheartedly. Scholars are indeed scholars, just look at how sharp their minds are...
"Yes, if such a family is a friend, it would be a great help; if they are an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Cheng Yunhe said: "If they happen to arrive in the Great Zhao… Based on their personalities, do you think they will stir up trouble?"
The martial sovereign recalled how the four or five individuals had acted arrogantly and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Such people, no matter where they go, if they do not cause trouble, it would be the greatest oddity..."
"Yes, but if someone in the Great Zhao provokes them..." Cheng Yunhe hinted: "There are quite a few young rascals in the Great Zhao..."
The martial sovereign shivered at the thought, saying: "Yes, that's true!"
