Chapter 722: Xia Tong Appears

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Why was she here? Wasn’t it already settled?

Zhou Ping suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He remembered that although Gu Man had come out, Xia Tong had indeed not come out just now.

This woman was really strange. He could not help but be afraid when he saw her.

Zhou Ping’s body trembled. At this moment, he did not forget to protect his daughter. He strode over and stood in front of Zhou Yan. At the same time, he turned around and looked at Zhou Yan. “I’ll help protect you. Run quickly.”

Zhou Yan was also extremely touched. She looked up at Xia Tong. She hated this woman very much. She was in cahoots with Chu An and caused her to fall into such a state. She even kidnapped her father.

But Zhou Yan had to admit that she was equally afraid of this woman because she had some ability.

Moreover, she did not know if it was Zhou Yan’s imagination, but she felt that the woman had changed and become even more terrifying.

Xia Tong ignored the others and walked straight ahead. She could not threaten Gu Man now, so it was useless to kidnap the Zhou family.

Under Zhou Ping’s frightened expression, Zhou Yan’s complicated gaze, and Zhen Rong’s confused expression, Xia Tong walked over.

She bypassed everyone and walked towards the entrance.

This time, everyone was stunned. They thought that Xia Tong would have a conflict with them when she came out, but she left directly?

Although they did not know why this happened, this was a good thing for them.

Zhou Ping heaved a sigh of relief. He put down his hand that he had subconsciously used to block Zhou Yan. “Daughter, perhaps we should strengthen our security.”

Thinking of what had happened today, he felt his face turn dry.

He thought about how Chu An and his lover had brazenly barged into the Zhou family, one of the four great families. He was utterly embarrassed.

Zhou Yan knew some inside information, but she did not plan to stop Zhou Ping. It was indeed necessary to strengthen the security. Even if it was not very useful, it was fine as long as she could stop him for a while.

After Gu Man left, she looked at the sky outside and suddenly felt that she did not belong here. But didn’t she not belong here to begin with?

Although she did not know what kind of opportunity made her come here, she had worked hard for so long to go back.

Since she planned to go back, she should not worry about anything here, or rather, settle the matters here.

She was a rational person, but she was becoming more and more irrational.

Gu Man looked down at her vibrating cell phone. It was a call from Xiang Yin. Just as Gu Man was about to answer the call, the scene from the illusion suddenly appeared in her mind.

She frowned. It was as if a thorn had pierced into her heart. It was not painful, but it was especially uncomfortable.

After a long time, she reacted and picked up the call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, making Gu Man feel a little dazed.

“Where are you?” Xiang Yin’s voice was low. Just a voice could make one imagine his figure.

Gu Man reported her location truthfully.

There was a pause on the other end of the line, but Xiang Yin did not ask Gu

Man why she was there. Instead, he said, “Wait for me there.”

Looking at the phone that had hung up, Gu Man looked into the distance.

It was impossible to say that she did not feel anything at all, but this feeling was fatal to an outsider like her. Moreover, cultivators had to maintain their rationality at all times. She had not been rational recently.

Gu Man did not wait long before she saw a familiar car driving in her direction.

The car was completely black and flowed smoothly. It looked like an ordinary business car, but the logo on it was not ordinary. It was low-profile and imposing, just like Xiang Yin.

Xiang Yin got out of the driver’s seat and went to the passenger seat to open the car door for Gu Man gentlemanly. In order to prevent Gu Man from bumping into it, he even reached out his hand to block the top of the car door.

After Gu Man sat down, Xiang Yin returned to the driver’s seat and buckled his seatbelt.

Gu Man tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiang Yin’s godly side profile. Her thoughts were innumerable, and her eyes were empty, making it impossible to see what she was thinking..
