Xia Pumo said, “I... what can I do for you?”

Since they knew each other, he had known that there was no room for maneuver in what she had decided. He fell out with other imperial clans and would not have the chance to return to the imperial clan of Zither without Ronghua’s help.

Ronghua nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, I will be at ease if this matter is done by you!”

Xia Puyang realized that it would not be so simple. Otherwise, she would not have consulted it with him for so many times. “What on earth is that?” he asked.

Ronghua looked at them and said, “I want you to help me train an army!”

“Oh!”

“Ah?”

“What?”

All three looked at her in shock.

Murong Zhe suddenly sat up and looked at her. He asked seriously, “Ronghua, what do you want to do?”

It didn’t seem like a good thing to train an army!

“Do you know how many imperial clans are paying close attention to our imperial clan of Zither?”

“Sure!”

Otherwise, the people here didn’t have to attack them as soon as they come in, without asking questions.

Xia Puyang said, “Miss Ronghua, it’s a severe matter, and I must consult it with the elders before I give you the answer.”

“Wait, when did I say I was consulting with you?”

Xia Puyang’s expression suddenly changed and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Ronghua said, “Literally. I think you are a wise man.”

Xia Puyang shook his head and said, “Sorry, I’m afraid we can’t help you!”

After that, he was ready to get up and leave, but Ronghua stopped him and said, “Don’t rush away, Patriarch Xia. I haven’t finished speaking!”

Ronghua stood up and said, “I’m not discussing this matter with you but informing you. Moreover, you have no right to refuse.”

Xia Puyang did not expect that Ronghua would say such words, so he asked, “What do you mean by this, and what does it mean that I have no right to refuse?”

Ronghua answered, “My meaning is simple, and you should be struggling now!”

Xia Puyang looked down after Ronghua finished her words, which also proved what she said.

Things that happened recently indeed made him feel like he was treading on thin ice. If it were not for the people to guard, he would not be able to insist.

Ronghua continued, “You must have fallen out with the other imperial clans for Mo!”

Xia Puyang was shocked by her words. “How did she know?” he wondered.

Xia Pumo turned to look at Xia Puyang, and his eyes were full of guilt. Because of him, the century-old foundation of the imperial clan of Zither almost collapse!

Ronghua said, “I’m doing this for you. I’m trying to give the imperial clan of Zither a back-up! All the other imperial clans have unshakable positions, but you have nothing. The only thing you can do is to make your power unshakable. Unfortunately, such a situation has not existed after your father’s death. Besides, the affair between Mo and Murong Zhe makes you even exhausted.”

Xia Puyang knew why Xia Pumo believed in Ronghua so much. She had never been here before, but she knew so many things. She also analyzed so thoroughly that he had no words to refute her. Moreover, he was confused about whether to believe her or not. He would destroy the century-old foundation of the imperial clan of Zither if he didn’t believe her. If he did, there would be no way back.

Regardless of both choices, he faced only one consequence. Namely, there was no turning back.

But even so, he had to protect Mo.

“Have you made up your mind, Patriarch Xia? I think you know better than I do. If the century-old foundation of the imperial clan of Zither was destroyed by you, I’m afraid that you have no face to tell the past patriarchs of the imperial clan of Zither after you died!” Ronghua said.

Xia Puyang looked at her and seemed to have some headaches. But he had to say that Ronghua was a qualified negotiator.

“What do you want, Miss Ronghua?”

Ronghua smiled contentedly. “Once he agrees to help me, things will get easier.” she thought. “It’s very simple. As I said before, train an army for me, and before that, I’ll choose the qualified ones!” she said.

Xia Puyang hesitated and asked, “But if I train the army, is the imperial clan of Zither remains the same?”

Ronghua nodded and said, “I’ve thought about this. It’s impossible for the imperial clan of Zither’s century-old foundation to disappear. You can rest assured that training the army will not conflict with the imperial clan of Zither’s development. Besides, you don’t have to worry about training the army. I’ll give it to Mo and Murong Zhe. You only need to provide places! All other resources are provided by me!”

Xia Puyang glanced at them and said, “Assign it to Mo and Mr. Murong, is this appropriate?”

He meant to ask whether Murong Zhe could train the army.

Ronghua turned her head helplessly and said, “Don’t you know who Murong Zhe is when you desired to kill him?”

It was true that he didn’t know. What they knew about Murong Zhe was that he was a demon. After knowing his identity, they gathered hundreds of imperial clans to kill him. Unexpectedly, Xia Pumo had already been touched by him at that time.

Ronghua couldn’t help but shook her head and looked ironically at Murong Zhe. “You are so terrible that no one knows who you are for such a long time, poor guy. After such a long time, you don’t get your sweetheart’s heart and are beaten to death. You lose the bait along with the fish!” she signaled.

Murong Zhe stared back at her and motioned, “What’s the matter? I still get my sweetheart’s heart.” Then he pulled Xia Pumo into his arms to show off as a child. Ronghua felt embarrassed. “Fortunately, you are not my subordinate.” she thought.

Xia Pumo was hugged by him. Before he figured out the situation, he saw the two people were contacting with eyes.

“Zhe!”

As soon as his sweetheart called him, he immediately stopped the battle, but his eyes were still unyielding.

Finally, Xia Puyang said, “In that case, there is an empty place in the mountain behind the imperial clan of Zither, which can meet the requirements of Miss Ronghua, but...”

“But what?”

He seemed unable to say something, and his expression was tangled.

Ronghua said, “Just speak out what is in your mind!”

Xia Puyang said, “Can you make alchemy? Don’t get me wrong, because I have no other meaning. It’s just because of Mo, our disciples of the imperial clan of Zither was bullied outside, and some people were beaten recently. We could have used the elixir, but our pharmacist was impeached away, so….”

Hence, no one could cure the wound. It seemed that it was a little serious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask her.

But about the alchemy...

“I see, I see what you mean. But though I am good at alchemy, my alchemy process is a little terrible, and it will take some time!”

She had to blow up an alchemy stove every time she made her alchemy. Wasn’t that terrible?

Xia Puyang looked at her, and he couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he didn’t express it too much. “If you feel troublesome, I will not force you,” he said.

Ronghua waved her hand and said, “I’m not reluctant, but I just need some time!”

It was better to undertake to help them. Otherwise, it was not kind to disappoint them. Long term partners should have a good exchange.

Xia Pumo said, “You can teach me, and I’ll make alchemy.”

“There is no need to be so troublesome!” one woman said.

When Ronghua heard it, her back suddenly stiffened. This voice was so familiar!

Then the next second, a little thing was running in and shouting, “Aunt Ronghua, I miss you so much!”

As soon as Ronghua turned around, a little boy, like a meatball, bumped into her arms.

She couldn’t help laughing and said, “Mengta, you get fatter.”

“Come on!” He tooted his mouth, and his soft voice warmed Ronghua’s heart. “I always get hungry!”

“Ha-ha-ha, Mengta! “

She rubbed his hair and looked at the woman coming in.

“Qingyi!”

She was standing at the door, and no emotion could be seen on her face, but that was not the case in her cold eyes.

“Long time no see, sister!”

She said indifferently, but Ronghua had been used to it. After all, it had been like this since then.

Xia Pumo stood up and said, “Sister? Miss Qingyi, do you know Ronghua?”

What he didn’t expect was that this woman knew Ronghua. No wonder when he was going to bring her back, Murong Zhe didn’t say a word. He had probably known it for a long time but didn’t say it. A murderous look passed by. Murong Zhe avoided it and then held him by the waist with one hand.

“Why are you here?” That was what she didn’t expect. “Shouldn’t Qingyi be on that continent at this time?” she thought.

Qingyi seemed to expect that Ronghua would question about this, and she slowly walked over, “Why didn’t you expect that I would be here? I was just passing here when I suddenly smelled a strong smell that day and thought it might be you, my sister. I didn’t expect that he had your golden light!”

Who she said was Murong Zhe. No wonder! As her contractual monster, Murong Zhe inherited a little of her talent, but he wasn’t around her. However, he had a smell that people would recognize when they smell it. This was her miscalculation.

“He is my contractual monster!”

Qingyi pretended to be surprised and said, “Oh! Contractual beast! I didn’t expect my sister would go to this trouble.”

“Qingyi!”

She was helpless. When will she change her temperament?

Qingyi burst into laughter, “Ha-ha-ha, I’m sorry. I’m just used to it. Sister, you know me.”

When Mengta saw that they had finished speaking, he pulled Ronghua and said, “Aunt Ronghua, we also accidentally saw it. When we passed there, we saw someone bullying your contractual monster. Then we beat them.”

“Bullying? Fight? How do you fight?”

Who could bully them?

When it came to fighting, Xia Pumo still had a cold feeling in his heart.

Just the month when they came back, Murong Zhe suddenly got weak for no reason. At that time, Murong Zhe was faint as if he was going to die. Xia Pumo had been worried for a long time, fearing that he would die. Therefore, he delivered a lot of spiritual power to him, and he barely calmed down.

They planned to go back to the imperial clan of Zither after he got a little better, but they didn’t expect to meet Zhong Bancheng halfway. Xia Pumo was not afraid of them, but Murong Zhe was too weak. They also saw this and especially attacked Murong Zhe, so even if Xia Pumo had three heads and six arms, they couldn’t stand their fierce attack. Besides, he delivered too much spiritual power to Murong Zhe, so soon, he and Murong Zhe were separated. They also recognized that Murong Zhe was a soul body, and they couldn’t hit him. Hence, they came up with a malicious way to deal with him with the alchemy pot. He was almost sucked in.

Fortunately, Qingyi and Mengta passed by here and saw them. They didn’t plan to fight. However, at the critical moment, Murong Zhe used the golden light to save Xia Pumo, which made Qingyi feel interested in them. An arrow came with the movement of her hand. Suddenly, thousands of miles were frozen. Those attackers were also frozen into ice sticks, and then they were stepped into ice dregs by Mengta.

The means of killing really scared Xia Pumo at the time.

“Fortunately, I met them. Otherwise, your contractual monster would have been dead there?”

Ronghua did not respond to her, thinking that the time when Murong Zhe was weak should be that when she was critically wounded. At that time, the old man took her to the mountains. However, she couldn’t do anything about it.

“Will my state affect you?”

Ronghua asked Murong Zhe, but he coughed twice and dared not speak or look at Xia Pumo.

Qingyi paused and said, “Don’t you know, sister? Our contractual monsters are different from others’. They can leave their masters, but their lives are linked with their masters. When you are injured, he will get injured. But when he was injured, you won’t be affected.”

Ronghua shouted, “Qingyi! Stop it! “

Xia Pumo raised his head and asked, “What do you mean? If Ronghua gets hurt, he will get hurt, but if Zhe gets hurt, Ronghua is OK?”

Qingyi looked at him strangely and asked, “Don’t you know that?”

Was it another fool blindfolded?

“That’s...”

“Qingyi!”

Ronghua interrupted her, “Go to alchemy first! I will find you later. Patriarch Xia, please take her to the alchemy room.”

Xia Pumo came to hold Ronghua’s hand and asked, “What does it mean that you will not die if he dies? But he will die if you die?”
