Invincible Soul Emperor

But now it seems the results of the test are not ideal.

If the Patriarch has truly made up his mind, then he and Xiao Xiao will be quite busy.

"Lenient?" The Patriarch’s voice was full of anger and fury, "In my Xue Family, nobody, regardless of their status, can trample on the family rules. Such audacious behavior must be severely punished! Xue Feng, you must remember, this matter cannot just be left like this!"

"This... Patriarch, it is..."

To avoid inciting the Patriarch’s wrath, Xue Feng had no choice but to leave first.

After leaving the main hall of the Patriarch, Xue Feng felt heavy-hearted and hurried to find Xiao Xiao.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao was sitting quietly at a stone table in the courtyard, focused on studying an ancient book she obtained from Xue Wei, completely unaware of the external changes.

Xue Feng rushed into the courtyard, and Xiao Xiao looked up to see his solemn face, immediately feeling a sense of foreboding.

"What’s wrong with Xue Feng? Why do you look so hurried?" Xiao Xiao put down the ancient book and stood up, her eyes full of confusion.

Xue Feng took a deep breath and said seriously, "Xiao Xiao, regarding Ye Qingchen’s unauthorized intrusion into the Secret Realm, the Patriarch, for some reason, suddenly got very angry and decided to severely punish Ye Qingchen."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao’s face turned pale, her heartbeat accelerated, and deep anxiety and worry filled her eyes.

"What? Why is this happening? Why does the Patriarch of the Xue Family suddenly want to punish him severely?!"

Her hands clenched involuntarily, her eyes flashing with unease, her voice trembled, "Xue Feng, this is unacceptable!"

It’s uncertain if it’s influenced by the Demonic Qi, but Xiao Xiao’s emotions have been increasingly hard to control recently.

Even just a small emotion could be magnified infinitely in her heart.

Especially when it came to matters concerning Ye Qingchen.

Seeing Xiao Xiao’s worried state, Xue Feng promptly said.

"Xiao Xiao, I’ve tried to persuade the Patriarch, but he refuses to listen. He sees this as a serious challenge to the Xue Family’s dignity, requiring severe punishment. I don’t know how this matter turned into such a situation, obviously, it was fine before."

Xue Feng was also puzzled.

Originally, the Patriarch was only slightly angry.

But today, why did he suddenly resolve to act against Ye Qingchen?

Could it be...

Xiao Xiao paced anxiously in the courtyard, her mind hastily searching for a solution. Her face was full of worry, and her hands were tightly clasped, her nails almost piercing her palms.

"No, I must go to the Patriarch, I need to explain to him personally, beg him to spare Ye Qingchen."

"Xiao Xiao, calm down." Xue Feng hurried to dissuade her, "The Patriarch is furious now; if you, a foreigner, go, it’ll only anger him more, making things worse."

Xiao Xiao stopped her steps, took a deep breath, but still struggled to calm her anxiety. "But, I can’t just stand by and watch my young master get into trouble!"

Xue Feng sighed, "Xiao Xiao, going to the Patriarch now will just create more trouble for Ye Qingchen."

After pacing anxiously for a moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down.

She closed her eyes, suddenly remembering that Xue Wei said if the Patriarch acted, he would send people to the Secret Realm!

She abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze becoming resolute. "That’s right, someone will help me!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao gradually calming down, Xue Feng breathed a sigh of relief but still asked with concern, "Xiao Xiao, have you thought of any solution?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, looking at Xue Feng with a determined gaze, "I will go find that person. He promised me before."

Xue Feng furrowed his brows, "Xiao Xiao, who is it?"

Xiao Xiao clenched her fists tightly and said resolutely, "Xue Feng, don’t worry about this matter, I will think of a way!"

With that, Xiao Xiao hurriedly left the courtyard, heading towards Xue Wei’s residence.

Xue Feng watched Xiao Xiao’s departing figure, falling into contemplation.

When Xiao Xiao arrived at Xue Wei’s residence, Xue Wei was arranging his men to enter the Secret Realm to capture Ye Qingchen. Seeing Xiao Xiao suddenly appear, Xue Wei was somewhat surprised, but then revealed a slight smile, "Xiao Xiao, why are you here?"

Xue Wei looked at her anxious expression and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

However, on the surface, he still spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiao Xiao, you have come because of the Secret Realm, right? I’ve already arranged people, and they are about to set off."

Upon hearing Xue Wei’s words, the anxiety in Xiao Xiao’s heart eased a lot.

She sighed in relief, her eyes revealing a thankful expression, "Thank you, Xue Wei. I thought you might not have known about this yet."

Xue Wei smiled slightly, patting Xiao Xiao’s shoulder, "Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. I’ve been paying attention to this all along, but the Patriarch’s situation is tricky. You go back first, I’ll handle this."

Xiao Xiao nodded, finally putting down her worries, "Thank you, Xue Wei!"

She knew that she had not mistaken in trusting Xue Wei.

After Xiao Xiao left, Xue Wei watched her departing figure, his gentle expression gradually turning into a cold sneer.

A hint of conceit flashed in his eyes as he silently mocked, "It was too easy, easily deceiving her."

"Ye Qingchen, you would never expect that even those around you would end up being accomplices in your demise this time." Xue Wei muttered coldly to himself, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao hastily returned to her residence, her mood somewhat calmed down.

As soon as she entered, Xue Feng approached, his face bearing traces of doubt and concern.

"Xiao Xiao, who did you find to help?" Xue Feng asked with concern, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao lowered her head, unwilling to meet Xue Feng’s eyes. She didn’t want things to become more complicated.

"Xue Feng, I... just went to find a friend for help, hoping he could come up with a plan."

Xue Feng noticed Xiao Xiao’s evasiveness, a trace of suspicion arising in his heart, his gaze becoming sharper. "Xiao Xiao, who exactly? You should know that some people are not worthy of trust."

Still with her head lowered, Xiao Xiao’s voice was weak but firm, "Xue Feng, I believe he can help. Please trust me, I will handle this."

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was unwilling to reveal, Xue Feng felt increasingly uneasy.

If his guess was right, Xiao Xiao went to find Xue Wei.

The direction she just came from was where only Xue Wei lived.

Xue Feng knew well of Xue Wei’s cunning and ruthlessness, if Xiao Xiao really went to Xue Wei for help, matters might become more complicated and dangerous.

"Xiao Xiao, I know you are worried about Ye Qingchen, but some people don’t genuinely want to help you." Xue Feng spoke earnestly, "You must be careful, not to let others use you."

Xiao Xiao raised her head, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "Xue Feng, I know you mean well, but I believe he will help me this time. Rest assured, I will be careful."

Xue Feng sighed helplessly, seeing Xiao Xiao unwilling to say more, he didn’t want to press further.
