Chapter 261 Tracking
In front of Piaoxue Pavilion, in a relatively remote attic, dozens of people stood together, seemingly arguing about something.
"Father, I don't want to go back. I want to watch the Snow Shower. Isn't this okay?" Meng Hongxue looked at Meng Quan pleadingly, her watery eyes a little moist.
"No, you have to go back." Meng Quan said resolutely, but sighed in his heart. Seeing his daughter in such pitiful appearance, he was heartbroken. However, he had to be cruel and forced Meng Hongxue to go first. Leave.
"Why?" Meng Hongxue asked in a tearful voice, very confused as to why her father, who had always been kind and kind, was forcing him so hard today.
Meng Quan was silent for a moment, then said: "I always feel that something is happening. Luo Mu cannot possibly influence Wu Qing's decision. Wu Qing must have a purpose."
"But didn't he promise in public not to deal with us anymore? Will he break his promise?" Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes flickered and she said.
"My child, you are too naive." Meng Quan looked at his inexperienced daughter, a look of worry flashed between his eyebrows, and said: "You don't know how proud the children of the big family who were born in Piaoxue City are. It’s impossible for them to bow their heads in public. Once they do it, they must have something to do.”
After Meng Quan explained this, Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes suddenly condensed for a moment, and then there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes, and she lost her voice: "Father, do you mean that Wu Qing will still deal with me?"
"Yes." Meng Quan's expression gradually became serious and he said, "I have always had an unknown premonition in my heart. I always feel that something is going to happen. Maybe Wu Qing will find another opportunity to take action against you."
As if thinking of something, Meng Hongxue continued: "But according to you, with Wu Qing's family background, it should be easy to arrest me. After so many days, if he wanted to arrest me, he would have done it long ago. Take action."
"This is what I'm confused about." Meng Quan frowned slightly. He had also thought about whether Wu Qing would kidnap Meng Hongxue when he wasn't paying attention.
Therefore, these days, he has been guarding Meng Hongxue every step of the way, but he has not seen Wu Qing's people take action for a long time, as if Wu Qing has really let her go.
"You're not afraid of 10,000, just in case. You'd better go back to Changfeng City as soon as possible. It's the safest there. Wu Qing probably won't chase him there." Meng Quan said in a deep voice. There is no other way. Who can let him? The Meng family has offended the Wu family and can only choose to avoid it.
Without Meng Hongxue, the Meng family was just dust to Wu Qing, insignificant, and Wu Qing would not send strong men from the family to deal with the Meng family.
After Meng Hongxue heard this, a look of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression suddenly dimmed. Her slender jade fingers were tightly clasped together. At this moment, she was very confused and didn't know what to do.
The reason why she insisted on staying was not because of the two younger generations of the Luo family, but because she wanted to see that man, wanted to know how he would walk out of the Holy Pool Snow Mountain, and wanted to see him stand out from the crowd and shine brightly.
But now, these seem to be just extravagant hopes, just out of reach.
In the face of family affection and love, she seemed to have no choice. It was hard to disobey her father's orders. She could only temporarily abandon the thoughts deeply hidden in her heart and do what her father told her.
"Okay, I promise you, I will return to Changfeng City now." Meng Hongxue slowly closed her eyes, and a line of clear tears ran down her cheeks, which was extremely poignant and moving.
"Hongxue, don't blame your father for being ruthless. This is for your own good." Meng Quan sighed secretly in his heart. Although Meng Hongxue didn't reveal anything on the surface, how could he, a father, not understand his daughter's thoughts.
Ever since Qin Xuan left Meng Mansion, he had found his daughter awake many times late at night, standing alone in the yard, looking up at the night sky.
Even if there were no stars, she could still see into the night, just standing there quietly, as if she had lost her mind, not knowing what she was thinking.
But this time, the Piaoxue event was held. She, who had never been interested in these cultivation events, unexpectedly came to watch it. Besides Qin Xuan, who else could it be for?
Meng Quan also admired Qin Xuan very much for his reliable character and extraordinary talent. It would be the best thing to become his son-in-law. However, he heard that Qin Xuan already had a wife. Based on this alone, Then he would not betroth his daughter to Qin Xuan.
And with Qin Xuan's attitude, he would definitely not be willing to stay in Changfeng City. He would definitely venture into the mainland. In that case, Hongxue would be lonely and helpless. Even if she got married, what awaited her would be endless waiting. and suffering.
"Father, your daughter is gone, please take care of yourself." Meng Hongxue looked at Meng Quan with her beautiful eyes and said with concern, with a deep sense of reluctance in her tone.
"Well, you choose a few servants to go back with you, so that you can be protected." Meng Quan turned around, closed his eyes and sighed, Meng Hongxue nodded lightly, and then left quietly.
Meng Hongxue's departure did not attract too many people's attention. Even Meng Yulan and Luo Qianchuan were unaware of it. Only a few servants vaguely knew the inside story.
Not long after, in the south of Piaoxue City, there was a glorious ancient palace. The rooms inside were extremely majestic, with carved beams and pillars, and dragon and phoenix totems carved on the pillars, which were extremely dazzling.
This extremely luxurious ancient palace is clearly where the Wu family is located.
At this moment, in a relatively grand room, two people were talking secretly.
"Master, you asked me to keep an eye on the Meng family father and daughter. Today, I finally made a new discovery!" A person knelt on the ground and said, with unconcealable excitement in his tone.
"Oh?" A gleam flashed in the eyes of the man on the throne, and he immediately became interested and asked: "Tell me, what did you find?"
The man sitting on the throne was Wu Qing. Since that day, he was sent to secretly observe Meng Quan and Meng Hongxue, paying close attention to their movements and not letting them have a chance to escape.
The man kneeling on the ground said excitedly: "I have been observing Meng Hongxue. After she talked with her father today, she left the pavilion with several servants, and seemed to be leaving Piaoxue City."
"Is she really going to escape?" Wu Qing's mouth curled up a little arc. He had long expected that the old fox Meng Quan would definitely not keep Meng Hongxue by his side and would definitely send her away.
Sure enough, things turned out as he expected, and his chance came.
"Did you send someone to follow her?" Wu Qing looked at the man and asked.
"The servants dare not delay at all. After watching her leave, they immediately arranged for someone to secretly follow her. As long as the young master gives an order, she will definitely not escape from our palm!" The man said affirmatively.
Wu Qing nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at the man below with appreciation, and said lightly: "You are very good at doing things. I will remember you. If this is done, you will follow me in the future."
The man was overjoyed when he heard Wu Qing's promise, and kowtowed quickly and said: "Thank you for your support, young master. I will not let you down and will do my best to get this done!"
For a powerful force like the Wu family in Piaoxue City, there are many servants, but the servants are also divided into strict levels. It is even possible that two people have similar strengths but different statuses.
The so-called servant follows the master. The higher the status of the master in the family, the higher his status among the servants will be.
The status of servants without masters is the lowest. They need to obey the commands of all servants who are higher than themselves. If they disobey, they will be directly expelled from the family and have no status at all.
The older generation all have their own confidants, and other servants will not be trusted by them at all. Only those young descendants, who are not yet fully grown and are in urgent need of people, are the objects that many servants try their best to please.
"What does the young master mean?" the man asked tentatively.
A greedy look flashed in Wu Qing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Catch her now, I want to enjoy it. Although this young master has had countless women, I have never seen such a stunning beauty. I must get her!"
"Yes, the servant will do it immediately!" The servant replied and left the room soon.
...
Hundreds of miles away from the space tunnel of Piaoxue City, several figures flew in the air. Three men and one woman were Meng Hongxue and the three servants of Meng Mansion. These three people were Meng Quan's confidants and sworn followers, so Meng Hongxue chose them to escort him back to the mansion.
"Miss, do you want to stop and rest for a while? We will be in the tunnel soon." One of them asked Meng Hongxue.
"No, it's more important to hurry." Meng Hongxue shook her head. The sky was already a little gloomy and the night was dark. If they didn't speed up, the space tunnel would probably be closed.
The man nodded and said, "Okay, everything is up to the young lady."
"No need to leave, none of you can leave today." At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the minds of several people at the same time.
"No, protect the young lady, there is an assassin!"
The servant who spoke to Meng Hongxue before reacted the fastest, releasing his momentum in an instant, rushing in front of Meng Hongxue and blocking her behind him.
The other two were only half a beat slower. The moment they heard the voice, they burst out their breath and rushed to Meng Hongxue, surrounding her in the center to prevent her from being abducted by others.
The three of them are all at the peak of the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, and they are already considered first-class masters of the Mengfu. Now the three of them are protecting Meng Hongxue together, which should be foolproof under normal circumstances, but the voice just now was too weird and had to be guarded against.
"How boring! Do you think you can protect her like this?"
As the three guards of the Dream Mansion were on high alert, the void was silent for a few seconds, and finally another voice was heard.
After the voice fell, several figures walked out of the void. The leader was wearing a black robe, and the wide robe covered his face, but even so, the cold aura on his body could not be concealed, and people couldn't help but feel a chill in their bodies.
