Chapter 1523 - 1521: Young Master Lan, Was This Your Order?
Chapter 1523 - 1521: Young Master Lan, Was This Your Order?
Lan Zhengqing looked at everyone’s actions with satisfaction.
Knowing that he still had absolute control over these refugees from the Ice Cicada Sect.
They still treated him like a Savior, not daring to defy a single word he said, not daring to entrust their lives to anyone else.
After all.
He was the only one willing to look these refugees in the eye.
Even though he was using them, it was already a great blessing for them.
Therefore.
These refugees were grateful to him.
He absolutely would not allow such situations to occur again. These fear emotions were like a plague; once someone started having such thoughts, everyone would start thinking the same.
If the refugees started having their own ideas, fearing for their lives, how could his grand ambitions be completed?!
His ambitions must be fulfilled by these fearless refugees!
Thus, he must keep these refugees’ lives firmly in his grasp, and never relax his vigilance.
When this person showed fear, it indeed startled him; such situations were more terrifying than the Divine Phoenix being saved by someone else.
One could say.
The Divine Phoenix being saved by someone was inconsequential, merely losing a woman, missing one chance to exact revenge on Lin Fan.
But if the refugees started feeling fear, it would cause his foundation to collapse!
It might result in complete failure!
Therefore, he had to take this matter seriously and punish the refugee who felt fear!
Fortunately.
Besides this refugee, the others were still the same as before, unchanged.
The heavy stone in Lan Zhengqing’s heart finally eased.
But.
Suddenly!
A voice exploded behind him!
Just when one wave subsided, another arose.
"What are you doing?! Stop immediately!"
Lan Zhengqing started, and turned around sharply. Someone dared to defy him, weren’t they afraid of dying!
Just as he was about to shout angrily, he discovered the person standing behind him was Qiu Xi.
Only to see Qiu Xi with furrowed brows, a serious expression, striding up swiftly.
"Qiu Xi, why are you awake?" Lan Zhengqing said coldly.
"Young Master Lan, I’m awake," Qiu Xi replied respectfully.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
Lan Zhengqing wanted to inquire further, but Qiu Xi had already strode towards the refugees.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy! This is our brother, how could you be so harsh on your own brother, do you intend to kill him?!"
Qiu Xi still didn’t understand what happened here, she just saw a group of refugees attacking one refugee.
So she shouted loudly, intervening.
The refugees stopped their actions when they heard Qiu Xi’s angry shout and awkwardly stood aside, making way.
Qiu Xi quickly walked over, only to see the refugee being beaten already reduced to half a breath.
The mask was torn, and his skin was split open, bleeding from a broken head!
He no longer looked human, resembling a lump of rotten meat lying on the ground, barely discernable where his nose or eyes were...
It was unbearable to behold!
Qiu Xi frowned, her heart skipped a beat.
"What’s going on, what exactly are you trying to do?"
He glanced around at the refugees, gritting his teeth and asked coldly.
"I ordered them to do this." Lan Zhengqing said languidly, walked slowly to Qiu Xi’s side.
He felt.
Qiu Xi seemed different.
It was an indescribable feeling, just feeling that Qiu Xi no longer looked up to him as before.
It felt like a runaway horse, out of his control.
This feeling was very dangerous!
If he lost control over the refugees, all his plans, ambitions, and desires would become illusions.
Among these refugees, Qiu Xi was the most important.
Her abilities far surpassed all the refugees, even if all the refugees combined, they couldn’t compare to her alone.
But such an important figure.
Was now giving him a feeling of losing control.
Lan Zhengqing’s eye corner twitched fiercely, a sharp cold gleam flashed.
Qiu Xi suddenly turned her head, staring unblinkingly at Lan Zhengqing.
Her eyes no longer had the previous admiration.
Instead, there lurked disdain.
But her tone remained respectful.
"Young Master Lan, you gave the order?"
"Yes." Lan Zhengqing’s arrogant expression caused a sense of trepidation, nodding.
"Why?" Qiu Xi pressed further.
Everyone took a deep breath directly.
Dozens of eyes instantly turned to Qiu Xi.
Shocked.
Stunned.
Confused.
Afraid.
They couldn’t believe Qiu Xi would question Lan Zhengqing!
Everyone was stunned, thinking their ears had gone wrong, misheard. But they saw Qiu Xi’s expressionless, serious look, realizing they hadn’t misheard, Qiu Xi really said that to Lan Zhengqing!
To know, they were saved by Lan Zhengqing!
No one dared talk to Lan Zhengqing like this.
Questioning in Blizzard Village was taboo!
Especially questioning Lan Zhengqing, was unthinkable!
These ant-like refugees only needed to obey Lan Zhengqing’s commands, absolutely not allowed to have a bit of their ideas, nor allowed to ask why.
Because.
Their lives were Lan Zhengqing’s, questioning his actions was a capital offense!
Hoo—
Hoo—
Refugees breathed heavily, watching Qiu Xi intently, nervously glancing at Lan Zhengqing.
"What did you say?" Lan Zhengqing raised his eyebrows, his face instantly turned dark, lowered his voice and asked.
Qiu Xi’s heart pounded fiercely!
Unrivaled pressure weighed on her shoulders, making it difficult to breathe!
The huge fear was generated from within her.
It was reflexive fear!
This state only appeared towards Lan Zhengqing, for no other reason, just because they were Lan Zhengqing’s dogs.
Or rather.
After so many years being Lan Zhengqing’s dogs, the habit hadn’t been broken!
Qiu Xi herself was surprised by the question she blurted out.
Even she didn’t expect to question and press Lan Zhengqing. What was wrong with herself? How had she become like this? Was it because of Lin Fan’s promise that she dared confront Lan Zhengqing?
Strange.
Extremely strange!
But she saw a refugee wounded by brothers and remembered Lin Fan’s words.
A thought instantly emerged.
Lan Zhengqing wasn’t acting for their good, just exploiting them.
This thought appearing in Qiu Xi’s mind frightened her spiritless, as if her soul left her body.
Her body trembled involuntarily.
Due to Lin Fan’s appearance, she started to question Lan Zhengqing’s legitimacy.
Started to defy Lan Zhengqing!
Madness!
It must be madness!
Qiu Xi still maintained a calm facade, but her inner turmoil was as chaotic as a tangled mess.
Yet one thought she held resolutely.
That was, refugees must not kill one another!
"Young Master Lan, why did you give such a command? Did this guy do something? Is there some misunderstanding causing you..."
Before Qiu Xi could finish speaking, Lan Zhengqing took a swift step to her front.
Their distance was just a finger’s breadth!
Lan Zhengqing’s furious breath sprayed on Qiu Xi’s face.
As terrifying as can be!
"Are you questioning my judgment?"
