Yang Xiong's momentary decision almost made the Yang Family suffer a massacre. Qi Shan was not lenient in the slightest, not a single cultivator above the True Spirit Realm survived, and a large majority of cultivators that entered the Spirit Realm were also killed.

The Yang family, which was at the peak of Bike County, had almost ceased to exist. From then on, they could only be talked about after their meals.

"Uncle Qi Shan, why are you with Prince Su?" After settling the matter with the Yang family, Yang Rong asked curiously.

"Prince Su?" Qi Shan was stunned for a moment before he looked towards Su Xing and asked Yang Rong, "You know this kid?"

At this moment, Su Xing had an indescribable urge to avoid being exposed right in front of everyone. It was extremely awkward.

"Yeah, why?" Yang Rong asked in confusion.

"This person is from the Grand Xia, do you know?" Qi Shan asked again.

"Prince Su has already told us about this." Yang Rong nodded.

A moment of fear passed through Su Xing's heart. Luckily, he had been honest enough to reveal his identity beforehand.

"You know you're in touch with him?" Qi Shan frowned and his tone became more severe.

"Uncle Qi Shan, Prince Su is not a bad person. We have already become good friends, it has nothing to do with which country he is from!" Yang Rong said.

"Rong'er, he's a spy sent by the Da Xia Empire to our Da Zhou Empire. How can you interact with such a person?" Qi Shan regretted that he had failed.

"Uncle Qi Shan, did you misunderstand?" Yang Rong explained, "He is just a person from Da Xia who escaped here, he isn't your so-called spy."

"That's what he told you?" Qi Shan asked.

"En!" Yang Rong nodded.

"Impossible," Qi Shan waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "This guy is working with a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert to deal with me in the Yan Huang Mountain Range, how could he be just an ordinary person? If it wasn't for him, I would have long since caught the spy who snuck into my Zhou Dynasty."

After Yang Rong heard that, she instantly fell into silence. At the same time, she also turned her gaze towards Su Xing. She was questioning Su Xing!

"Miss Yang, it's not like what he said, there's a secret behind it!"

Su Xing started to get anxious. He didn't care that Qi Shan would kill him if his identity was revealed. What he cared more about was what Yang Rong thought of him.

Since arriving at the Zhou Dynasty, Yang Rong was the first person to trust him. He couldn't let down this trust, furthermore, he wasn't a spy to begin with.

"What's going on?" Qi Shan said harshly, "With the facts in front of you, what else do you have to say? "Do you dare to deny that you didn't plot against me with that woman?"

"Yes, I joined hands with her to deal with you. However, this was not something that I wanted to do at all. I was also forced to do this."

Su Xing explained, "That woman is a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert. Do you think she would invite a rookie that has entered the Spirit Realm to be her helper?"

"At that time, because I was being hunted down in the Yan Huang Mountain Range, I was cultivating there all this time, and then I accidentally ran into your battle. Although that woman was heavily injured, isn't it just a matter of lifting a finger to deal with me, a spirit realm practitioner?"

"She threatened me and said that if I didn't help her, she would kill me immediately. In order to survive, I had no choice!"

Su Xing had long since come up with an excuse and started narrating it in all sorts of ways. Even if he couldn't get rid of the suspicion, at the very least, he had put a veil over this matter.

"You think I'll believe you just because you made up a story?" Qi Shan didn't seem to believe Su Xing at all. He said expressionlessly, "What's even more, even if what you say is true, you would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let off any one of them. As long as I kill you now, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not."

The moment Su Xing heard that old fogey wanted to kill him, he could no longer remain calm.

He had finally reached this step with great difficulty. How could he die here just like this?

"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not," Su Xing shook his head before looking at Yang Rong with disappointment, "What I care about is whether Lady Yang believes me or not."

Yang Rong raised her head, with a resolute look in her eyes, "I believe in you, I have always trusted you."

"Rong'er …" Qi Shan reminded him indifferently.

She only smiled helplessly and said to Su Xing, "But I believe that you are useless. I am the princess of the Great Zhou, and you are a citizen of the Da Xia Empire. I cannot gamble the entire Zhou Empire over you.

Su Xing's heart instantly sunk at that moment.

However, Su Xing did not resent Yang Rong. If it was him, he would not gamble the entire country for someone he had just met!

"Hmph, kid, stay in County Governor Manor properly for the next few days. I'll bring you back to the Imperial City in a few days." Qi Shan said.

"Uncle Qi Shan, let him go!"

At this moment, Yang Rong unexpectedly opened her mouth.

"Why?" Qi Shan did not understand.

Yang Rong didn't give any reasons, she just aligned with Shan and said, "Uncle Qi Shan, ever since I was young, I have never asked you for help. This time, I'm begging you."

As Yang Rong spoke, her entire knee bent down.

Qi Shan knew that the girl in front of him had always been very forceful and had never been willing to show weakness in front of others. He didn't expect that she would beg him for a youth today, regardless of her status.

When Qi Shan once again looked at Su Xing, his gaze became much more complicated.

He was also from the past, and he knew that Yang Rong definitely had feelings for this young man.

Qi Shan hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to Yang Rong's request.

"Leave," Qi Shan said to Su Xing. "Don't let me see you again, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Su Xing stared at Yang Rong blankly. He felt sad for some reason. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Thank you!"

Sue walked away from Bic County with regret and reluctance.

Yang Rong watched his back until Su Xing disappeared from her sight, before she lowered her gaze in disappointment. At that moment, Yang Rong felt as though she had lost something, causing her heart to feel an indescribable pain.

She clutched her chest as she slowly walked up the stairs, entering County Governor Manor.

Perhaps, I'll never see her again. As Yang Rong thought this, a bit of tears flowed down her pale face.

Before falling, she stretched out her sleeve and gently wiped it away.

"Hmph, what a pity!"

Xue Wei, who had been walking on an unknown country road, untimely jumped out. She ruthlessly sprinkled a handful of salt on Su Xing's wound. She gloated, "Does the feeling of being rich and poor feel bad?"
