Chapter 6137 Cold Appearance
Just then, the sound of soft footsteps came from outside the door.
Chen Wanqing snapped out of her reverie, the confusion and sadness in her eyes instantly vanishing, replaced by a hint of wariness and doubt. She quickly glanced towards the doorway.
The wooden gate leading to the courtyard was pushed slowly open, and David entered first.
He wore a long golden robe, with a tall and upright posture, a cold and stern face, and a controlled aura, yet he still exuded a domineering presence.
Behind him were two strangers, a man and a woman.
“David?” Chen Wanqing immediately stood up, with a surprised expression on her face.
David walked over to her, stopped, and looked her up and down carefully. His gaze was gentle: “You look much better. It seems the Dragon Clan Pill is indeed extraordinary and did not disappoint me.”
Chen Wanqing nodded slowly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered, “Thank you, David. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid… I would have died.”
David waved his hand gently, his tone calm: “No need to thank me, I just did what I had to do. The most important thing is that you rest well and recover as quickly as possible.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Wanqing’s gaze fell on Ming Li and Liu Qianqian, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: “David, who are those two…?”
David turned around, pointed to Ming Li and Liu Qianqian behind him, and introduced them: “They are my friends, Ming Li and Liu Qianqian.”
We escaped from Yunxian City together and agreed to meet in the barren land. However, they encountered some problems along the way, which delayed their journey, and they only managed to arrive here today.
Chen Wanqing was slightly startled, then quickly realized what was happening and bowed slightly to Ming Li and Liu Qianqian, saying, “Greetings, both of you. Thank you for accompanying David all the way, and thank you for coming to help.”
Ming Li quickly waved her hand, a warm smile etched on her face: “Miss Chen, there is no need for such formalities. I am Mr. Chen’s servant. You and Mr. Chen are already cultivation partners, so I must call you Madam.”
Ming Li’s words made Chen Wanqing blush!
Although she did enter David in a martial arts contest to become his wife and dual cultivation partner, it was all just to take advantage of David.
After Ming Li said that, Chen Wanqing felt extremely embarrassed.
The four of them sat together, and Long Hao had prepared tea and snacks which were placed on the stone table.
After everyone was seated, a brief silence fell over the courtyard, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
David put down his teacup and looked at Chen Wanqing, reading her thoughts and doubts.
He spoke softly, his voice calm: “Miss Chen, please feel free to speak. Whatever the problem, I will do my best to help you if I can.”
Hearing David’s words, Chen Wanqing’s body trembled slightly, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at David with a firm gaze, and finally gathered her courage to say, “David, I… I have something I want to tell you, and I also want… to ask you for a favor.”
“Please,” David said, looking at her with soft eyes and a calm tone.
Chen Wanqing took another deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, but her voice was still trembling, and tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
“Not long after you left the Chen family that day, the people from the temple arrived.”
As soon as he heard the word “temple,” David frowned slightly, his aura immediately becoming colder, and a glimmer of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Chen Wanqing didn’t notice David’s change in attitude. She was lost in her bitter memories and continued, “It was Wu Lingyun who betrayed us.”
After he managed to escape from you, he immediately went to the people at the temple and told them all about your time with the Chen family.
“He led the temple elders and warriors to surround the entire Chen family and forced my father to hand you over.”
“My father said you were gone and would never come back, but they didn’t believe him. They forced their way into the Chen family home, wanted to search the house, and wanted to arrest me, saying they would bring me back and torture me to force me to tell them where you were.”
Her voice trembled more and more, and her tears flowed more and more.
“My father fought them to protect me and to uphold the dignity of the Chen family. The six elders and hundreds of bodyguards of the Chen family also stepped forward and fought them to the death.”
“But the people from the temple are too strong, and with the help of the Wu family, our Chen family is no match for them at all.”
“The six elders each fought with all their might to protect me and cover my escape. They all fell in battle, their deaths tragic, and their bodies were never found.”
Then there were the Chen family’s guards, hundreds of them. Not one of them retreated, not one of them surrendered; they all fought to the death to protect the Chen family, and in the end, they all perished.
David remained silent, his aura growing colder.
An almost tangible chill enveloped the entire courtyard, causing the temperature to drop several degrees instantly.
Ming Li and Liu Qianqian both trembled, a hint of fear visible on their faces.
They had never seen David so cold.
