C1570 Some Paths Lead to Darkness



C1570 Some Paths Lead to Darkness

Because Xue Chen hadn't made a public announcement when he returned to the capital, many people didn't know about his return. Even the people of Jiang Family didn't know about it.    

    

Xue Chen didn't go to the hospital after he arrived in the capital. Even after he called Shih Dahai, he didn't go to the hospital. He and Xuanyuan Yinloong found a hotel to stay in.    

    

Of course, Xue Chen did not deliberately hide his return. He knew very well that if some people investigated, they would definitely find some clues.    

    

Therefore, Xue Chen had returned to the capital in a half-concealed manner.    

    

The next morning, the bright sun shone down from the eastern horizon, driving out the night.    

    

After Xue Chen woke up and washed up, he ate some food in the hotel. Xue Chen returned to his room and stood in front of the French window. He looked out of the window quietly and seemed to be deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.    

    

There was only Xue Chen in the room. No one knew where Xuanyuan Yinloong had gone to, but it was exceptionally quiet.    

    

Time passed by. After an unknown amount of time, Xue Chen turned around from the French window and walked to the sofa in the room.    

    

After he walked to the sofa, Xue Chen sat down on it. At the same time, he took out a cigarette from his body and lit it up for himself.    

    

At this moment, Xue Chen seemed to be waiting for someone, but he seemed to be thinking about something.    

    

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Chen's phone suddenly rang.    

    

After hearing the phone ring, Xue Chen immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and took out his phone. He glanced at the caller ID and hurriedly picked up the call.    

    

"Uncle Shih..."    

    

"I'm already in Beijing."    

    

Xue Chen's heart leaped with joy when he heard that Shih Dahai had arrived in the capital. "I'll get someone to pick you up!"    

    

"No need. Just tell me where you are and I'll go by myself!"    

    

"Jin Tai Lai Hotel..."    

    

After telling Shih Dahai about his hotel and room, Xue Chen let out a breath of anger.    

    

He was waiting for Shih Dahai here. When Shih Dahai arrived, he would go and clean up the dragon gate.    

    

About 40 minutes later, someone knocked on the door.    

    

After hearing the knock, Xue Chen quickly got up from the sofa and walked quickly to the door.    

    

When he arrived at the door, he opened it without hesitation.    

    

When the door opened, Xue Chen saw Shih Dahai with one glance.    

    

Shih Dahai was the same as before. He wore a gray cloth shirt and looked a little old-fashioned. He also had a messy beard, like a farmer.    

    

Xue Chen really didn't understand why Shih Dahai used to be such an influential person.    

    

At the same time, in Fengxiang City, would Shee Xueyan not buy him clothes?    

    

But now was not the time for Xue Chen to ask about this. He said to Shih Dahai with a smile, "Uncle Shih, come in and have a seat."    

    

Shih Dahai did not stand on ceremony with Xue Chen. He walked in from the outside.    

    

After entering the room, Shih Dahai sat on the sofa as if he had returned home.    

    

"Uncle Shih, what do you want to drink?"    

    

"Forget it!" Shih Dahai waved his hand. "Do you think you can get me out now?"    

    

Xue Chen smiled. "Uncle Shih," he said. You don't have to come, actually. I'm not going to tell you, I can also... "    

    

"Can you do that?" Shih Dahai glared at Xue Chen. "You destroyed the entire Dragon Gate!"    

    

"I have no choice either!" Xue Chen looked innocent and helpless. "I can't just wait for them to cut off my head, can I?"    

    

Shih Dahai sighed. "Forget it. I won't argue with you about this. Tell me about your plan."    

    

"Uncle Shih, how many people in the Dragon Gate will be loyal to you if you show up now?"    

    

"Very few." Shih Dahai said without hesitation, "After all, almost all of them have been promoted by Zuo Cheng'ao. Almost none of them are loyal to me."    

    

"But I will go to the elders' group and have a chat with them." Shih Dahai said in a low voice.    

    

Shih Dahai seemed to have thought of something. Before Xue Chen could say anything, Shih Dahai said again, "But I will say it first. You don't need to interfere with the matter of the Dragon Gate. I will settle it myself."    

    

It was not that Shih Dahai did not trust Xue Chen, but Xue Chen's identity was a little sensitive. If he also interfered, it would inevitably lead to some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Shih Dahai did not want Xue Chen to interfere.    

    

Xue Chen seemed to have guessed that Shih Dahai wouldn't let him get involved in the matter of the dragon gate. He immediately nodded and said. "Since Uncle Shih said so, I will listen to him and not interfere!"    

    

"It's just Uncle Shih. What if they attack you..."    

    

"You don't have to worry about that." Shih Dahai said seriously, "Since I won't let you interfere, I have my ways. You just need to find someone familiar with the Dragon Gate and come over. At the same time, you also have your plan regarding the Dragon Gate."    

    

"I don't have any plans either." Xue Chen said slowly, "As long as the people of the Dragon Gate don't help Zuo Cheng'ao and the others, I will settle the rest myself."    

    

Hearing Xue Chen's words, Shih Dahai's face revealed a look of satisfaction.    

    

From the bottom of his heart, Shih Dahai did not want the Dragon Gate to get involved in this feud.    

    

After all, the Dragon Gate wasn't a private force.    

    

The Dragon Gate existed to keep some forces of other countries in check. It existed to protect China, not a tool of a certain person.    

    

Xue Chen being able to say this made him extremely satisfied.    

    

"Then find someone familiar with the Dragon Gate for me!"    

    

"Alright!"    

    

In the next moment, Xue Chen picked up his phone and dialed Feng Yuan's number.    

    

Ever since Xue Chen and Feng Yuan parted ways with Qin Hantian, Xue Chen had never looked for Feng Yuan, and Feng Yuan had never appeared in Xue Chen's line of sight.    

    

However, when Xue Chen called her, Feng Yuan still answered the call.    

    

"Sect Master..."    

    

"Feng Yuan, do you have something to do now?"    

    

"No..."    

    

"Then why don't you come to Jintai Hotel..."    

    

After telling Feng Yuan the address, Xue Chen did not say anything else and hung up the phone.    

    

At the same time, in an ancient teahouse in the capital.    

    

Feng Yuan, dressed in tight clothes, sat by the window of the teahouse and looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression.    

    

The middle-aged man looked to be in his fifties. His outline was clear and his eyes were black and full of vigor.    

    

"Xue Chen is looking for you?"    

    

Feng Yuan nodded.    

    

"Then go!"    

    

As he spoke, the middle-aged man slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and gently drank a mouthful of tea.    

    

Feng Yuan did not move and still looked at the man in front of her with some complicated feelings.    

    

The man saw that Feng Yuan was indifferent and put down the teacup. He then said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"    

    

Feng Yuan still did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked at the man for a while and then slowly said, "Do you really want to fight Xue Chen to the death?"    

    

"It's not that I don't want to fight him to the death, it's that he will not let me go!" The middle-aged man said neither lightly nor heavily.    

    

"If you don't do it, Xue Chen won't let you go," the middle-aged man said. Feng Yuan took a deep breath and tried hard to control her slightly agitated heart. "Sect Master, stop. There is still time."    

    

The person who could be called Sect Master by Feng Yuan, other than Xue Chen, was Zuo Cheng'ao.    

    

And the man in front of her was clearly not Xue Chen. Without a doubt, he was not Zuo Cheng'ao.    

    

Zuo Cheng'ao chuckled. "Stop?"    

    

"Yes, I am."    

    

Tell me how to stop. " Zuo Cheng'ao nodded slowly. "Not all suffering can turn back," he said. "Not everyone can turn back."    

    

"I have already done it. I almost killed him last time. There are many things that happened in Shen Family that I did. Even if I stopped, it would only be a dead end!"    

    

"If I die, I will die. Why don't I choose to die in a spectacular manner? I might even be able to survive!"    

    

"Sect Master..."    

    

Feng Yuan, if I don't force you, don't force me! " Zuo Cheng'ao interrupted Feng Yuan softly, "I raised you by myself. I treat you as my own daughter!"    

    

"I can understand that you have your own thoughts when you grow up, but I also hope that you can understand that I also have my own thoughts."    

    

"I don't blame you for not helping me. I just hope that you don't care about me. At the same time, don't help Xue Chen. Otherwise, I'm afraid that our relationship in the past will be cut off!"    

    

After saying that, Zuo Cheng'ao sighed slightly. His face was filled with helplessness and bitterness.    

    

Who could be heartless when a person was not a plant?    

    

Feng Yuan was someone he had personally nurtured. Zuo Cheng'ao was not married, nor did he have any children. It could be said that he had completely regarded Feng Yuan as his own child.    

    

It was just that the current situation made the two of them seem as if they were strangers.    

    

After Feng Yuan heard Zuo Cheng'ao's words, the bitterness on her face became even more intense. "Don't tell me there is no turning back?"    

    

"Once you do something, you can't turn back. You can only walk the dark path." Zuo Cheng'ao slowly looked out of the window. "Feng Yuan, don't try to persuade me."    

    

"But how confident are you? Martial God, he..."    

    

"I have seen Martial God and fought with him. He is very strong!" Zuo Cheng'ao did not hide anything and said directly, "But our side is not weak. It is not easy for him to touch us."    

    

"It is still unknown who will win."    

    

Feng Yuan could not help but sigh. From the expression and words on Zuo Cheng'ao's face, Feng Yuan could clearly tell that Zuo Cheng'ao had made up his mind. It was almost impossible for him to change his mind.    

    

"Alright. I hope you can take care of yourself." Feng Yuan had to give up on persuading Zuo Cheng'ao. "But if you turn back, I can help you talk to Xue Chen. I think Xue Chen will not insist on killing you."    

    

Zuo Cheng'ao just smiled and did not say anything.
