Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 500 - 237. The Mysterious Wuwei King (Subscribe in November)

""Miss Zhao, how are you feeling?"

Zhao Qingxue slowly came around and, looking up to see the mask Hou Yuxiao was wearing, her expression immediately became "tense"; she glanced down at her slightly disheveled clothes, quickly clutched her chest tightly, and looked at Hou Yuxiao with a fearful look in her eyes.

"You… you... you...…"

"Don’t worry, I just forced the poison out of your body and didn’t touch you otherwise. Mister Fang may not be a gentleman of high morals, but he scorns taking advantage of others in their time of weakness,"

Seeing Zhao Qingxue looking so scared, Hou Yuxiao actually felt a twinge of compassion. Speaking of which, this Little Daoist Nun really seemed to have bad luck, attracting attention wherever she went. In just one year, she had nearly been the victim of schemes twice, the first time by Gu Chenfeng, and now, Hou Zhan.

Hou Zhan’s attempt was one thing, but it was the Life and Death Entwining Love Gu by Gu Chenfeng.

For more than a year, Hou Yuxiao had flipped through numerous classics, trying to find a way to remove the Gu poison, to no avail. If what Maiden Hong said initially were true, then Zhao Qingxue would be affected by the Zi Gu for the rest of her life...

With this thought, Hou Yuxiao looked at Zhao Qingxue, and his gaze couldn’t help but grow a bit more complex, yet he quickly concealed it.

"Are you Fang Jinghong?"

Hearing Zhao Qingxue’s question, Hou Yuxiao was momentarily stunned. Zhao Qingxue had met him before and must have guessed his identity by his voice. Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment; although Zhao Qingxue had been to Zhaoyang, she probably only knew him as Fang Jinghong. But now, his identity was Second Dragon Head Fang Longxiang; Third Dragon Head Fang Jinghong was Fourth Elder, who was currently battling with Hou Zhan outside.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Hou Yuxiao gently removed his mask:

"I do not wish to hide it from you, Miss Zhao, I am Hou Yuxiao, the Marquis of Zhaoyang. Fang Jinghong is just an alias I use when roaming the martial world. Having offended many in the course of wandering, I must disguise myself occasionally to avoid turning enemies against me. I have never shared this with outsiders and hope Miss Zhao can keep this secret for me!"

Since he planned to extract information from this Little Daoist Nun, Hou Yuxiao went all out, using his skills to deal with women. Exposing his real identity appeared honest and could make Zhao Qingxue trust him more. Most importantly, he had never told anyone; sharing such an exclusive secret with the young lady would likely be highly impactful...

Zhao Qingxue’s eyes flashed with delight when she heard his words. She had already known, back in Zhaoyang, that Fang Jinghong, Ren Feng, and Hou Yuxiao were the same person. But now that Hou Yuxiao had voluntarily revealed his identity to her, her heart was, of course, overjoyed. It was not just happiness she felt; her face even showed a hint of being moved.

Many who wander the martial world prepare a false identity for themselves; this matter could be trivial or significant. For someone of little renown, of course it meant nothing. However, for Hou Yuxiao, head of the Hou Clan and a figure who had appeared on both the Demon Path’s New Star Ranking and the Righteous Path’s Demon Extermination List, the identity of Azure Dragon, the head of Qinglong Association, was extremely important. Once it was known to outsiders, it would bring upon him a very deadly crisis!

Although she had long known, the fact that Hou Yuxiao had personally disclosed his identity still caused a massive shock to Zhao Qingxue’s heart.

"Elder Brother Hou, rest assured, Qingxue will definitely not tell anyone!"

Hou Yuxiao put his mask back on, nodded slightly, and without waiting for Zhao Qingxue to speak, he directly pulled her out of the temple. Watching Hou Zhan and Hou Yujie still fighting, he turned and whispered gently, "Just now Hou Zhan..."

Zhao Qingxue pretended to know nothing, listening intently to Hou Yuxiao finish speaking about Hou Zhan’s recent actions, feigning a furious look on her face, even showing a trace of shame and indignation, and then she pulled out her Longsword.

This little girl... rather impulsive...

Seeing that she was about to fight Hou Zhan to the death, Hou Yuxiao shook his head, stepped forward to grab her arm again, and said softly, "Calm down, Zhao Qingxue. Lingyuan Prefecture is now under the Wuwei King’s rule, and Hou Zhan is his adopted son. If we kill him here, I’m afraid you and I will both suffer dire consequences..."

As he spoke, Hou Yuxiao paused and a gleam appeared in his eyes, adding, "If I’m not mistaken, the Ziqing Holy Sect has a deep relationship with the Wuwei King. If we rashly kill his adopted son, aren’t you afraid the sect will blame you?"

It was clearly a probing statement, but what Zhao Qingxue heard was full of Hou Yuxiao’s concern for her, and a warmth surged in her heart. Having had her hand taken by Hou Yuxiao twice, her ears turned faintly red and her voice softened.

"Elder Brother Hou, rest easy. Hou Zhan is nothing more than the Wuwei King’s adopted son and won’t influence our sect’s major affairs. Besides, he was the one who attempted to attack me first. Even if the Wuwei King learns of it, he won’t blame me!"

...

The Ziqing Holy Sect indeed had collaborated with the Wuwei King.

Hou Yuxiao was not aware that he was still holding Zhao Qingxue’s hand. He pondered for a moment and then continued, "I must admit I’m somewhat curious. The Wuwei King is a noble of Great Jin. With your sect mingling with him, could it be that you are preparing to go against..."

Even though Hou Yuxiao did not finish the sentence, the probing nature of it was already quite evident...

Zhao Qingxue’s expression visibly changed slightly, and she did not answer immediately. Instead, she turned back to lock eyes with Hou Yuxiao.

"Elder Brother Hou, are you very interested in these matters?"

Hou Yuxiao felt somewhat awkward under her gaze but still mustered the courage to say in a low voice, "I do not wish to hide from Miss Zhao, but the Hou Clan is currently facing threats from the Rakshasa Holy Sect and is involved in the conflict in Hedong. The situation is as precarious as a pile of eggs."
