Chapter 1719 Saving Lan Ruoxi’s Mother

A young man was heading to his house with an annoyed face. If Xiao Tian saw him, he would know who he was immediately because that young man was his friend.

Zhao Sheng!

Yes, the name of the young man was Zhao Sheng, the son of the famous Zhao family.

Zhao Sheng was walking toward his house with an unhappy expression because his family always forced him to practice martial arts.

Due to how often they forced him to practice martial arts, he even did not have time to hang out with his friends.

Of course, he could run away if he wanted to because he was currently the second strongest person in his family.

He was stronger than his elder brother.

He was stronger than his father.

But he was weaker than his grandfather.

That was the reason why he did not have freedom in his family because he was not the strongest.

‘I’m sick of this.’

As he was on the terrace, he saw the Xiao family members.

‘The Xiao family members?’

He was startled and hid behind the door.

‘Why did they come to my family?’

He peeked at them.

“So how is it, elder Chen? Do you agree to become our ally?” Xiao Deng Jiang inquired.

Zhao Sheng widened his eyes in surprise.

‘What? The Xiao family wants us to be their ally?’

He suddenly remembered Xiao Tian.

‘Do they want to immediately go to war with Xiao Tian’s father?’

Of course, he knew what was going on because he ordered his subordinates to get the latest information about the Xiao family and the others.

‘What is your answer, grandpa?’

He kept looking at his grandfather because he was the one who held the highest authority in his family.

“I can’t give you the answer immediately because we need to discuss this first.” Even though the offer was tempting, Zhao Chen did not accept it immediately.

They needed to think about the advantages and disadvantages first because it was related to the future of their family.

“Give me three days.” Zhao Chen uttered, “I will give you the answer in three days.”

“Alright.” Xiao Deng Jiang did not force them to decide it immediately because it could make the Zhao family dislike them.

“We will come again in three days.” Xiao Yimu added. “We hope to get a positive response.”

After that, the Xiao family walked out of the living room.

“Hmm? Nephew Sheng?” Xiao Deng Jiang smiled when he saw Zhao Sheng on the terrace.

“Have you finished practicing martial arts, nephew Sheng?” like his elder brother, Xiao Yimu smiled at Zhao Sheng. It could be said Zhao Sheng was very important to the Zhao family because he was a genius martial artist.

That was why they acted kindly to him because he would lead the Zhao family in the future.

“Yes. I just finished practicing martial arts.” Xiao Sheng answered as he smiled.

‘As I thought, I dislike them.’

They were sly foxes in his eyes, but he needed to behave well for now because he could not do anything to them.

“Come and visit our place next time, nephew Sheng.” Xiao Jianhao spoke abruptly. “We will welcome you.”

“Sure.” Of course, it was an empty word because Zhao Sheng did not want to go to the Xiao family. After the Xiao family left, Zhao Chen walked closer to him. “Brat, why did you peek at us earlier? Why didn’t you just enter the living room?”

Even though Zhao Sheng hid behind the door, Zhao Chen knew about it because he noticed him earlier.

Instead of answering his question, Zhao Sheng inquired, “Grandpa, why did they come to our place?”

“They want us to be their ally.” Zhao Chen gave an honest answer. “You will refuse, right?” Zhao Sheng uttered.

“We will discuss it tonight.” After saying that, Zhao Chen headed to the garage. “I will go somewhere first. Don’t forget to practice martial arts again at 04:00 pm.”

“I don’t want to.” Zhao Sheng shouted.

Zhao Chen only stared at his grandson before finally leaving.

As the Xiao family was talking with the Xing family, Lian Xun and his friends went to the hospital.

Their intention was clear.

They wanted to move Lan Ruoxi’s mother from the Xiao family hospital and Xiao Zhan’s hospital.

Lian Xun no longer wanted the Xiao family to use his disciple, so he decided to move her mother from the Xiao family hospital because Xiao Tian’s father could save her mother.

Even though many martial artists guarded the patient room, Lian Xun and his friends could take Lan Ruoxi’s mother easily.

Lian Xun was already at the seventh stage, so ordinary martial artists were nothing for him, especially when he was with his friends.

After taking Lan Ruoxi’s mother from the Xiao family hospital, they went straight to the Angel Hospital.

Like what he had promised, Xiao Zhan agreed to treat Lan Ruoxi’s mother. They put her in a special patient room because, with this, Xiao Tian would not meet Lan Ruoxi later.

‘You are finally free now, my disciple.’ Lian Xun was currently standing in front of Lan Ruoxi’s mother.

Lan Ruoxi’s mother had long blue hair. Her body was thin because she had been in a coma for more than five years.

The name of her mother was Lan Meirong.

“Don’t worry. I promise to save her.” Xiao Zhan uttered.

“Thank you, Xiao Zhan.” Lian Xun uttered, “I will repay your kindness.”

“I don’t need it.” Xiao Zhan responded, “Just make sure your disciple won’t be used by the Xiao family again.” “Yes. I will make sure to protect her and her mother this time. I won’t make the same mistake again.” Lian Xun promised to himself that he would protect Lan Ruoxi and her mother. “Then I will go home first.”

“Alright.” Xiao Zhan responded.

Ru village, Lian Xun’s House.

Lian Xun was talking with his disciple in her room. He told her he had moved her mother to Xiao Zhan’s hospital.

He also said Xiao Zhan did not ask anything. Xiao Zhan only wanted her not to be used by the Xiao family anymore.

“Thank you, master.” Due to how happy she was, tears of happiness dripped down her soft cheeks.

She was happy.

She was delighted because she was finally free now.

When she was in the Xiao family, she was treated as a tool. Of course, she realized it, but she could not do anything in the past because her mother’s life was in their hands.

But now, it was different.

She no longer needed to obey them.

She no longer needed to do dirty work.

And she no longer needed to hurt innocent people.

She was free.

She could do whatever she wanted now.

No one could order her around now because Xiao Zhan could save her mother, and he did not ask her to do anything.

“Thank you, master.” Lan Ruoxi thanked him again.

Lian Xun smiled softly at her. “Now focus on recovery first. We will think about what we should do after that.”

“Un.” Lan Ruoxi nodded her head.

Zhao Sheng, Xing Juzong and Xing Ranqing were on their way to Xiao Tian’s house. They went to his house because they wanted to tell him about the Xiao family.

‘We have to tell him about what the Xiao family wants.’
