Zhao Fei, who had not been seen for a long time, decided to go out for a walk. He first visited his grandfather, uncle, and third uncle.

After having lunch with them, he went to Xu Mansion again.

Three months have passed, and few people in Flame City mention Zhao Fei anymore.

Although the first place in the competition has brought him reputation, when you disappear from people's sight for a long time, everyone will gradually forget you.

In the evening, Zhao Fei and old man Qingfeng were sitting in the living room chatting.

"This house is too big, and it seems too spacious just for the three of us. I want to discuss something with you, grandpa."

"Boy, if you have something to say, say it directly and don't beat around the bush." ​​Old Man Qingfeng said with a smile.

"It's a waste for us to live in such a big yard. I want to revitalize the Zhao family. When I go to visit my grandpa today, I will discuss it with him and prepare to let them all move here and regard this place as the foundation of our Zhao family."

"Yeah. Your idea is very good and correct. We can't live in so many houses. There are so many people and it's so popular. Instead of just leaving it idle, it would be better for everyone to move here. It will be much easier to take care of."

Old Man Qingfeng agreed with Zhao Fei's opinion and strongly supported him in doing so.

Since Yan Xue was defeated in the last battle, she has rarely appeared in the Flame City and has been practicing hard behind closed doors.

Her hatred for Zhao Fei is the driving force that supports her hard training. She must work hard to improve her cultivation and strive to defeat Zhao Fei as soon as possible. Only by defeating Zhao Fei can she avenge her shame.

After three months of hard work, she has now reached the third level of the Refining Realm, which is also a huge progress. It has also greatly improved her self-confidence.

"Miss, Mr. Duan from the City Lord's Mansion is here to find you. He has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time." Her personal maid Xiaocui came in to report to her.

"Master Duan is here, why don't you invite him to my boudoir? He is not an outsider."

Duan Chun, the third son of the city lord Duan Wuhen.

He was not a public person. Although he was born into a family of officials, he never relied on his father's power to do anything wrong.

Although he is only eighteen years old, he is already at the third level of the Refining Realm and can be regarded as a young talent in the entire Flame City.

Ever since he met Yan Xue once, he was deeply impressed by Yan Xue's beauty.

It was precisely because he once revealed to Yan Xue that he liked her that the farce of the Yan family coming to break off the engagement arose.

"Master Duan, why are you so free today? You actually have time to come over and see me."

Yan Xue's charming smile made Duan Chun fascinated.

You don't need a reason to like someone. From the first time he saw her, Duan Chun's soul was taken away by her. Now that Yan Xue smiled at him, he felt numb all over.

"I know that you have been practicing behind closed doors, so I didn't dare to disturb you. My father gave me two pills last night, and I came here specially to give one to you."

Duan Chun took out the elixir from his body and handed it to Yan Xue.

This is a crystal clear elixir. Yan Xue has never seen it before. She does not know the function and efficacy of the elixir. She raised her head and looked at Duan Chun with doubtful eyes.

"This is a righteousness pill that my father just brought back from the Imperial City. It is said to be very precious. It can help you recover quickly if you are injured internally. Although it cannot help bring the dead back to life, quick recovery is still possible."

Hearing Duan Chun's explanation, Yan Xue was secretly happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Duan, how can I be embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift?"

Yan Xue looked embarrassed and handed the elixir back to Duan.

Chun. She was acting. She was extremely eager to get this pill, but she couldn't accept it casually. She wanted to whet Duan Chun's appetite.

"Miss Yan, compared with my admiration for you, this pill is insignificant. I give it to you sincerely, and I hope you can see my sincere affection for you and please don't refuse it anymore.

"

"That little girl will be pretentious if she refuses any more, so I will accept it. Thank you Mr. Duan." Seeing Yan Xue accept the elixir, Duan Chun was immediately overjoyed.

"Mr. Duan, you said this elixir was brought back from the imperial city by the city lord?"

Yan Xue just got a message from Duan Chun, that is, the city lord Duan Wuhen was back, and she wanted to confirm it again.

A few days after the competition ended, Duan Wuhen went to the Imperial City. Every three years, the city lord must go to the imperial city to meet the saint. Zhao Fei offended the city lord, and now that the city lord is back, it's time to settle the score.

"Yes, father just returned to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday."

After confirming that the city lord had returned, Yan Xue began to secretly figure out how to provoke trouble between Zhao Fei and the city lord.

"I'm going to tell my father in a few days and ask him to find someone to propose marriage to the Yan family." Duan Chun's face was full of excitement.

"Master Duan, this must not be done. You know that I was publicly humiliated by Zhao Fei. It has only been three short months. Your coming to propose marriage will bring disgrace to your reputation."

Yan Xue was worried that he couldn't find a reason, but now Duan Chun gave him a very good excuse and opportunity.

"Huh! This kid is so arrogant, I won't let him go easily. He contradicted my father in person, and I haven't even settled the debt with him yet."

Duan Chun had lost himself in front of the beauty, and he never resented Zhao Fei.

"We can talk about marriage after I personally take revenge. If I can't take revenge in this life, I would rather die alone."

Yan Xue's determination stung Duan Chun even more. He felt that he should do something for Yan Xue, otherwise he would not be able to embrace the beauty as he wished.

After bidding farewell to Yan Xue, Duan Chun quickly returned home. He wanted to tell his father what he was thinking.

The city lord's mansion has been very lively these past two days. After Duan Wuhen returned from the imperial city, countless celebrities and nobles came to visit him. It was called a visit, but in fact, he came to give gifts and show his goodwill to the city lord.

It has been twenty years since Duan Wuhen took over as the city lord. The Flame City is relatively stable under his governance. His methods of managing the city are still acceptable, but his narrow-minded and vengeful character has not given him a good reputation. Many

People dare to be angry with him but dare not speak out.

Because he had some background in the emperor, and he was good at currying favor, the position of city lord was firmly in his hands.

In fact, during this period of time, Wuhen had almost forgotten about a small person like Zhao Fei. After all, he would not take these civilians seriously.

At this time, he was chatting with his guests in the living room when Duan Chun hurriedly walked in from outside.

"When do you have it?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing that there were guests, Duan Chun swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Seeing his son's hesitant expression, Duan Wuhen knew that something must be wrong with him, but he was too embarrassed to say it because there were guests around.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Your Uncle Zhang is not an outsider."

Duan Wuhen didn't care about the presence of outsiders. What he said made the guest very touched. He felt that Duan Wuhen regarded him as a friend and one of his own. Thinking of this, he was extremely excited.

This person is none other than Zhang

Fan Bin’s father Zhang Zhiyong.

"Father, I just went to Yan's house and met Miss Yan Xue."

"Oh, do you need to tell me this?"

"No, father, I want you to arrange for someone to propose marriage. I want to marry Yan Xue."

Duan Chun looked at his father eagerly.

"That girl is very talented and smart. Although her family is a bit weak, since you like her, it is her blessing. I will arrange this later."

Duan Wuhen stroked his beard, he was in favor of this marriage.

"Father, Yan Xue doesn't want us to propose marriage for the time being. I told her about it, but she rejected me."

Duan Chun stood there dejectedly.

"Bold, does the Yan family have stiff wings? It's her blessing that you can like her, and she dares to refuse. Does the Yan family want to be removed from the Flame City?"

Duan Wuhen stood up suddenly, with an angry look on his face.

"No, father. Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. Yan Xue has no objection to me, but she has a knot in her mind and is not ready to talk about marriage for the time being."

"Oh, what does she have in mind?"

"Some time ago, she was humiliated by Zhao Fei in public. She said she would marry me when she gets her revenge. But Zhao Fei is much better than her. How long will it take for her to surpass Zhao Fei?"

Duan Chun looked frustrated. He had seen the competition that day and it was impossible for Yan Xue to surpass Zhao Fei in the short term, but he didn't want to wait too long.

"So that's it. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. That kid actually dared to contradict me. He was so impatient." When Zhao Fei was mentioned, Duan Wuhen became even more angry.

"Don't talk about this for now. I will make my own judgment. You can step back first."

Duan Chun retreated, but he knew that his father was angry and would definitely help him deal with this boy Zhao Fei.

"City Lord, please calm down. It's not a trivial matter for the common people to deal with him. If you can trust me, I will make him disappear from the Flame City in a short period of time."

Zhang Zhiyong said flatteringly to Duan Wuhen. He also hated Zhao Fei. His son was defeated by his brothers respectively. He had been looking for an opportunity to vent his anger for his son. Since the Lord of the City also hated him, why not be a favor and give it to his son?

He vented his anger and asked the city lord to accept a favor from him.

Zhang Zhiyong made a good calculation.

"Well, brother, then I'll leave this matter to you. After all, he is one of my subjects, and I don't bother to take action against him." Duan Wuhen nodded.

It was easy for him to kill Zhao Fei. As long as he winked, there were countless people willing to take action for him.

For a third-level refining realm, squeezing him to death would be easier than squeezing an ant to death.

Zhao Fei was practicing hard at home, but he didn't know that someone was plotting against him behind the scenes. Yan Xue's plan to borrow a knife to kill someone had succeeded, and her sadness incited Duan Chun. Duan Chun lived up to her expectations and successfully aroused his father's affection for Zhao Fei.

Angry, a conspiracy against Zhao Fei is brewing.

Zhao Fei's grandfather Zhao Wuwei has already moved into Zhao Fei's new house. Also moving here are his third uncle Zhao Zhenduo's family and his senior uncle Zhao Zhenbiao's family.

More than twenty people suddenly moved into the huge mansion, and the atmosphere became lively, no longer as lifeless as before.
