At this moment, Zuo Qing and Zuo Mu were both looking at Xiu Haojie, their eyes flickering with a strange light.
Xiu Haojie couldn’t help but call out to Zuo Qing, his expression somewhat excited.
Zuo Qing did not quite recognize Xiu Haojie, after all, when they parted ways back then, Xiu Haojie was still very young, and it was natural that he wouldn’t recognize him now.
Xiu Haojie stated directly.
Zuo Qing’s face changed, his pupils constricted, and he stared intently at Xiu Haojie and exclaimed, "You are the Young Master?"
Xiu Haojie nodded and rolled up his sleeve, revealing a peculiar pattern on his arm.
Upon seeing this pattern, Zuo Qing immediately became excited, his gaze fixed on Xiu Haojie, "It truly is you, Young Master!"
"Subordinate Zuo Qing pays his respects to the Young Master!"
Zuo Qing suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground, saying to Xiu Haojie with a face full of respect.
Surprise flickered in the eyes of Zuo Mu standing beside them as he looked at Xiu Haojie.
"Zuo Mu, kneel and pay your respects to the Young Master!"
Zuo Qing urgently called out to Zuo Mu.
"Subordinate Zuo Mu pays his respects to the Young Master!"
Zuo Mu’s gaze flickered, and he too went down on one knee.
"Please, rise, all of you. I am so happy to see you!"
Xiu Haojie spoke with a face filled with emotion.
"Young Master, we have been searching for you for so many years. We never expected to meet you today. It must be the heavens’ blessing!"
Zuo Qing exclaimed with a sigh.
"All of this is thanks to Brother Xiao. If it weren’t for him, I might not only have missed the chance to see you, but I might have been dead already."
Xiu Haojie shook his head as he said this.
"Young Master, what do you mean? Has something happened?"
Zuo Qing couldn’t help but ask as he looked at Xiu Haojie.
Xiu Haojie then relayed the entire matter regarding Di Sha.
After hearing what Xiu Haojie said, Zuo Qing’s face was filled with disbelief, "How could Lord Di Sha do such a thing? It’s preposterous, a traitor to the Asura Gate!"
"Thank goodness you are unharmed, Young Master. Otherwise, I would not let Di Sha and the others off, even in death," Zuo Qing declared sternly.
"Mm, right, how is Left Protector? How is he doing?"
Xiu Haojie suddenly asked.
"Ah, my father was gravely injured while protecting us back then. Because of that, the Asura Order was lost, and it was only later that Mr. Xiao helped us to retrieve it. My father’s injuries were too severe, so he had to go into seclusion to heal. As for his current condition, I really don’t have a clear idea," Zuo Qing said, shaking his head.
"Mr. Xiao, I owe you deep thanks once again. If it weren’t for you, the Young Master might have really been in trouble. You are a great benefactor to our Asura Gate!"
Zuo Qing looked at Xiao Yifeng with a face full of gratitude.
"Mr. Zuo, you are too kind. Brother Xiu and I are already friends. It is only right for friends to help each other out," said Xiao Yifeng with a slight smile, before adding, "By the way, Mr. Zuo, I have to say, your father’s condition might not be very good."
"Eh? Mr. Xiao, how do you know that?"
A look of utter surprise flashed across Zuo Qing’s eyes as he regarded Xiao Yifeng.
"I can’t disclose the specifics, but based on my assessment, your father’s injury has not only failed to heal, but it has also reached a critically severe stage, to the point where it is like the oil is drained and the lamp is dying," Xiao Yifeng said gravely.
"Young man, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you cursing my father?"
Zuo Mu looked at Xiao Yifeng and coldly commanded.
Xiu Haojie looked at Zuo Mu with a slight frown, and Zuo Qing immediately glared at Zuo Mu, saying coldly, "Second brother, shut up!"
"Mr. Xiao, I apologize for my brother’s overly excited behavior. His words were improper; I hope you can understand!"
"It’s fine. I just said my piece. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Now that you have met, I shall take my leave first. You can continue your chat."
Xiao Yifeng smiled slightly without showing any anger.
"Mr. Xiao, I will come looking for you later."
Xiu Haojie’s gaze turned towards Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng nodded and left the place.
After Xiao Yifeng had gone, Xiu Haojie coldly watched Zuo Mu: "You must be Zuo Mu. I must say that Brother Xiao is my friend and also my lifesaver. I hope I will not hear you speaking to my lifesaver like that again."
Zuo Mu’s expression turned somewhat somber and ugly, but he did not speak.
"Zuo Mu, did you hear what the Young Master said?"
Zuo Qing coldly looked at Zuo Mu.
"Yes, Young Master, Zuo Mu understands!"
Zuo Mu bowed, said with his head lowered, and a sharp and ruthless look flashed in his eyes.
"Also, about what Brother Xiao just said, he mentioned that Left Protector might be in danger. It might not have been said lightly. His medical skills are very impressive, far from ordinary. Perhaps we should believe what he said."
"Hmm, I will go check on Father’s condition now; I hope there truly is nothing wrong."
Zuo Qing spoke with a grave tone.
"Oh, and Uncle Zuo, have someone look into the situation with the Black Hawk Group in Jiang Province."
Xiu Haojie suddenly said with a somber expression.
"The Black Hawk Group? What’s up with them?"
Zuo Qing’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
"This Black Hawk Group is controlled by Di Sha’s son, Feng Yan, from behind the scenes, using the group to conceal himself."
Xiu Haojie declared coldly.
"So it is, no wonder the Black Hawk Group rose to power so quickly, and I’ve heard they act ruthlessly. I did not expect Di Sha to be behind it."
A look of surprise flashed in Zuo Qing’s eyes.
"Having escaped, this Feng Yan will definitely not leave things as they are; he will keep sending people to find me."
"Young Master, don’t worry, as long as I am here, I won’t let anyone harm you," Zuo Qing said with a determined expression.
Off to the side, Zuo Mu’s complexion changed continuously as he listened to the conversation between the two, especially at the mention of the Black Hawk Group, his eyes flashing an indescribable hint.
Meanwhile, at the Tianhai Mo Family.
"I’ve found it, I’ve found it!"
Mo Shumei suddenly screamed with excitement.
"How is it? Did you find the location of the Underground Mausoleum?"
Mo Sihai, Mo Shaocong, and Mo Shuqian all gathered around Mo Shumei, who had a laptop in front of her displaying the topography of a mountain.
"I’ve found it. It’s located in a small county under Tianhai’s jurisdiction, at a place called Tianlong Mountain. That Underground Mausoleum should be there."
"Good, very good, we’ve finally found it. This time we have not disappointed the organization," Mo Sihai remarked with a smile on his face.
"I’m going to contact the higher-ups now, have them send someone to deal with Xiao Yifeng, take back the two green stone discs he has, and then head to Tianlong Mountain to find that Underground Mausoleum!"
Mo Shaocong said directly.
Mo Shuqian vehemently objected.
Mo Shaocong’s expression changed as he looked at Mo Shuqian.
