Chapter 4915: Keeping One’s Word!

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed…

Xiao Xuan's parents were kidnapped again.

The people who kidnapped his parents were brought by the mage from White Mist City.

Or rather, it wasn't that the mage invited them, but that he had revealed Xiao Xuan's secret to a powerful Family in White Mist City.

Upon hearing that Xiao Xuan possessed a Cultivation Technique, they immediately became interested, listened to the mage, and sent people to kidnap Xiao Xuan's parents.

Furthermore, they immediately spread the word in the village that if Xiao Xuan wanted to find his parents, he should go to the Zhao Family in White Mist City.

Upon learning of this, Wang Ergou immediately went up the mountain.

He didn't know how to find Xiao Xuan, so after reaching the mountain, he started shouting at the top of his lungs…

"Tiezhu! Tiezhu, are you there? Tiezhu! It's me…"

"Tiezhu! Something happened to your Family! Tiezhu!!"

"Tiezhu! Your parents have been kidnapped again!!"

"…"

Soon, Xiao Xuan appeared before Wang Ergou.

The reason Xiao Xuan had told Wang Ergou to come up the mountain if anything happened was because his hearing was far superior to what it once was.

"What happened? Who kidnapped my parents!?" Xiao Xuan asked, furious.

"It's… it's the Zhao Family, the Zhao Family in White Mist City!" Wang Ergou said hurriedly, explaining what had happened.

Xiao Xuan was enraged; he hadn't expected that even though he had let the mage go, the other party refused to let him off.

"Zhao Family! You are courting death!!" Xiao Xuan roared in anger. He told Wang Ergou to go back, saying he would handle this matter himself.

"Alright, alright… but you must be careful," Wang Ergou said timidly.

Xiao Xuan's expression was grim. While his current strength was decent, it was only enough to deal with ordinary people; dealing with people from White Mist City would be a struggle.

The Zhao Family's reputation was significant, and they had at least several hundred servants. If he went alone, he might not be able to leave safely.

Furthermore, if the Zhao Family was prepared to deal with him, he would undoubtedly be walking right into a trap.

Xiao Xuan was filled with regret; his intestines were practically turning green with remorse…

If he hadn't been careless and had just killed the mage, wouldn't this whole situation have been avoided!?

But now, it was too late to say anything…

Xiao Xuan had no other choice; he had to go to the Zhao Family.

Thus, Xiao Xuan left that very night. Wearing a heavy coir raincoat, he entered White Mist City.

Fortunately, not many people in White Mist City knew Xiao Xuan, so he easily managed to sneak near the Zhao Family's estate without being discovered.

Xiao Xuan did not act impulsively; the Zhao Family's influence in White Mist City was far greater than that of the Xie Family.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xuan decided to use his wits.

"In the eyes of the Zhao Family, I am just an ant… They won't pay much attention to me," Xiao Xuan muttered.

Thus, Xiao Xuan decided to wait for an opportunity. The next day, he saw a sedan chair leave the Zhao Family estate.

Xiao Xuan knew his chance had come, and he secretly followed it.

After finding an opportunity, Xiao Xuan knocked out the sedan chair carriers and entered the sedan chair.

Inside the sedan chair was a young woman; she was the eldest Young Miss of the Zhao Family. Upon seeing Xiao Xuan, she was terrified.

With his parents kidnapped, Xiao Xuan was in no mood to be gentle with a lady.

"Cooperate with me honestly! Answer whatever I ask! Otherwise, I will kill you!" Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Zhao Family's Young Miss nodded repeatedly, answering everything she knew.

The Zhao Family's Young Miss knew that the Family had captured some people, but she didn't know their identities or exactly what they were doing.

However, she did know where they were being held: in the Zhao Family's woodshed.

Thus, Xiao Xuan took the Zhao Family's Young Miss, climbed over the wall directly into the Zhao Family estate, and made her lead the way to the woodshed…

If there was any danger, Xiao Xuan would use the Zhao Family's Young Miss as a hostage.

The process went very smoothly; the few guards watching the woodshed were no match for Xiao Xuan at all.

Seeing his parents, Xiao Xuan felt relieved.

The Zhao Family's Young Miss was pale and said timidly, "I helped you! You must keep your word! You all can go! I definitely won't scream!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and took his parents over the wall to leave.

However, the moment Xiao Xuan climbed over the wall, the Zhao Family's Young Miss started screaming… alerting the entire Zhao Family.

Xiao Xuan was so filled with hatred that he nearly ground his back teeth to dust; he shouldn't have let her go, he should have at least knocked her out before leaving.
