Chapter 372: Chapter 375: It’s About Time

"Ah? Xiaoxiao, don’t panic. I’m not in any trouble right now, I’m safe. Slow down and clarify, what exactly is going on?"

Xiao Yi had never seen Shen Xiaoxiao so flustered before, which made his heart sink, and he gently comforted her in a low voice.

"Xiao Yi, the Liu Family’s people have already chased us here, and they have brought a master that you can’t even imagine—a master who might even be superior to the one you mentioned last time. I’ve also received news that they are now looking for you!"

Although Xiao Yi kept telling Shen Xiaoxiao not to panic and to explain things slowly, the expression on her face remained frantic. She couldn’t help her panic because the mere name of Old Master Liu had such a resounding reputation that only those living in Glass City knew how terrifying he was.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. I won’t be in any trouble; I know what to do."

It was only upon hearing that it was this matter that Xiao Yi’s mood slightly relaxed. The Liu Family was looking for him. He knew that already. Back when they were looking for Chen Jianguo, he had realized it. Feeling Xiaoxiao’s panic, Xiao Yi comforted her softly.

"Xiao Yi, you don’t understand—this person is really terrifying. You must believe me! You know the bodyguard I found for you, right? He’s incredible, right? But even someone as skilled as him would be turned into dust with just a flick of a finger by that member of the Liu family!"

Seeing that Xiao Yi was still so relaxed, Shen Xiaoxiao became increasingly anxious instead of being reassured. Xiao Yi had not grasped how fearsome that person was, which made her even more worried and scared.

"That powerful?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment.

The man was at least a High Tier in the Bone Tempering Period—a flick of his finger could turn someone into dust. So it seemed that this man must be at least in the Condensation period or above. Only someone who has transcended a tier could possess such a terrifying transformative power; otherwise, even the peak Bone Tempering warriors encountering an Initial Tier practitioner, though easily victorious, would certainly not reach such an extent.

However, he soon came around. It should not surprise him that the Liu Family had people in the Condensation period and above. This had been within his expectations. A family that provides two High Tier Bone Tempering masters as bodyguards for a second-generation rich heir would undoubtedly have a Condensation period master.

"Yes, this person is very powerful. So, you must leave G City as quickly as you can. Leave the rest to me, and I’ll figure out a way. Once it’s safe, I will call you."

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, finally feeling a bit relieved when Xiao Yi seemed to realize the severity of the situation.

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, I will leave right away. Don’t worry."

Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao continuously worried about him, Xiao Yi was moved, but suddenly remembered the promise he made to little Zeng Xiaoxiao to go on a trip this weekend. Tomorrow was Saturday, he had promised Wang Qingqing he would go to his aunt’s place for dinner. The day after tomorrow was the time agreed with the little girl. Since it was just this short time, Shen Xiaoxiao likely wouldn’t find him, and to reassure her, he might as well tentatively agree for now.

"That’s good. If there’s anything you need or want to talk about, let me know. Once you arrive at your destination, just send me a message and let me know you’re safe... ah, never mind, just find an opportunity to send me a message and let me know you’re safe."

Seeing Xiao Yi finally agreeing, Shen Xiaoxiao completely put her heart at ease, nodded solemnly, and was about to say to call her once he arrived at his destination to let her know he was safe. Realizing there might be risks of being tracked through the phone, she quickly changed her words.

"Okay, alright then... if there’s nothing else, shall we leave it at this for now?"

Xiao Yi, touched by Shen Xiaoxiao’s excessive worry, felt a mix of amusement and sadness. Did she really think the Liu Family was that formidable, as if they possessed supernatural powers? But these thoughts remained unspoken in his mind; he agreed with a nod.

"Hmm, okay!"

Shen Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, her body relaxing as if she had accomplished something significantly important. However, her beautiful face soon wrinkled with concern.

Having Xiao Yi temporarily leave was only a temporary solution. They couldn’t just let him flee indefinitely. Despite the vast world, how many safe places could there be under the Liu Family’s thorough pursuit?

The most important thing was to find a resolution.

But how? With even the reclusive Elder Liu, who supposedly hadn’t left Glass City for sixty years, personally showing up in G City, one could imagine the extent of his fury. With such a level of anger, it was now impossible for her to personally intercede for Xiao Yi.

Not even her family members helping him out would likely quell Elder Liu’s wrath!

Unless...

An idea flashed through Shen Xiaoxiao’s mind, but she immediately shook her head and muttered with a rueful smile, "Let’s see how things go. For now, let’s just dodge the immediate edge of his wrath. Maybe Elder Liu is just furious for the time being. Once he cools down, we’ll think of a way."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi’s mind was also unable to settle down.

With the Liu Family’s people arriving, he had suspected as much based on Chen Jianguo’s case earlier, but now, it was truly confirmed. Moreover, from Shen Xiaoxiao’s tone, it seemed that they had indeed sent a master in the Condensation period or above, perhaps even more than one.

But if that was the case, why hadn’t they made their move yet?

From the time they had approached Chen Jianguo until now, some time had elapsed...

The answers they were looking for must have also been largely confirmed. By counting the days, they should have acted already.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Xiao Yi’s eyes, his gaze hardened, then he slowly closed his eyes again and began to crazily operate the Heart Jue within his body, restoring the True Qi.

Azure Waterfront, inside Xiao Yi’s villa.

A silver-haired, towering figure of immense authority, exuding an awe-inspiring presence that almost instinctively made one think of kneeling, quietly sat in the living room on Xiao Yi’s favorite seat.(To be continued.
