Heaven-defying Summoning System

In this aspect, Xu Tianchong didn't hide anything from Lin Xiao. He just showed Lin Xiao his trump card. After hearing this, Lin Xiao was completely shocked.    

This was because Xu Tianchong had brought over seventy percent of the Azure Sect's power!    

At this moment, Lin Xiao finally understood. The other sects might not even be able to think of why Xu Tianchong would send out his full force this time.    

Even though the first lady of the Treasure Pavilion had personally arrived, there was no suspense under the preparation of the Azure Sect. This was Xu Tianchong's confidence.    

After listening to all this, Lin Xiao sighed and said, "If Uncle Xu needs me, just give me instructions as soon as possible. Can I go and see Qingruo now?"    

"You better not go."    

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Tianchong frowned. "Qingruo is not in a good condition right now. I don't think she wants you to see her like this."    

"I don't care."    

Lin Xiao shook his head when he heard Xu Tianchong's suggestion. "Since she is here, of course I have to go and see her. I promised her before. Besides, seeing me, her mood might also be better. "    

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianchong also expressed his agreement. "In that case, you should go. Sun Xian is right outside the door. Let him bring you there."    

"Alright."    

Lin Xiao nodded and left the room.    

Just like what Xu Tianchong had said, although old man Sun did not come in, he had been waiting outside. When he saw old man Sun, Lin Xiao also said, "Sect Master Xu asked you to take me to see Qingruo."    

A moment later, under old man Sun's lead, Lin Xiao came to a room and saw Xu Qingruo.    

Seeing Xu Qingruo's appearance, Lin Xiao also understood why Xu Tianchong advised him not to see Xu Qingruo, because the current Xu Qingruo had been tortured by her Nine Underworlds Body until she was not human anymore. Her entire body had lost weight, and her pair of big eyes looked especially pitiful on her palm-sized face.    

Seeing Lin Xiao coming, Xu Qingruo was startled, and quickly turned her head, not wanting Lin Xiao to see her like this.    

She smiled lightly and sat beside Xu Qingruo. Lin Xiao gently said, "Silly girl. There was no need to be like this. She's just a little thinner now. Once she recovers, everything will come back."    

Xu Qingruo still turned around and covered her face when she heard him. She did not say anything.    

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao looked at Xu Qingruo and said with a smile, "Eh, this is really strange. My face is already skinnier, but my chest is not skinnier. It seems that what I saw before was real."    

"You, you are shameless!"    

Xu Qingruo was annoyed and embarrassed by Lin Xiao's words and could not help but glare at him.    

Lin Xiao laughed and said even more shamelessly. "I thought you ignored me. If you really ignored me, I would personally check if it was true."    

"Brother Lin!"    

Xu Qingruo's face turned red from Lin Xiao's words and she reproached him in embarrassment.    

Hearing this, old man Sun, who was standing at the side, was also so angry that he coughed repeatedly. Although Lin Xiao saved his life, Xu Qingruo was like his own granddaughter. Lin Xiao teased Xu Qingruo in front of him. Of course, he couldn't stand it.    

He heard old man Sun's cough. Xu Qingruo's face became even redder. She turned around in embarrassment and said shyly, "Why is Grandpa Sun here too?"    

She had been lying on the bed just now. When she saw Lin Xiao turn his back on her, she did not notice old man Sun who followed Lin Xiao in. When she saw old man Sun, she only felt shy.    

Xu Qingruo's words made old man Sun speechless. He could not help but say, "first lady, be more reserved. If I am not here, do you guys want to check your bodies?"    

This...    

Xu Qingruo heard this and her face was so red that it almost dripped water. Lin Xiao shrugged helplessly and said, "old man Sun, only I can joke around. You are not allowed to joke around!"    

After saying that, Lin Xiao looked at Xu Qingruo again and said gently, "Alright, you should rest here first. I will often come to see you. I will also do my best to help you collect the herbs that you need."    

...    

At the same time, in an underground room in Youzhou City, the patriarchs of the four big families were gathered together, discussing something.    

This was also the secret base where the four major families gathered to discuss matters. There were only four paths that led to the bedrooms of the patriarchs of the four major families. Therefore, if they were to discuss matters here, it meant that the four major families had encountered a foreign enemy that they had to unite to deal with.    

"I believe all of you already know about the situation this time, right?"    

"I know. The location of the Spring of Life might have already been leaked out. We still don't know which family's spy it is. However, the most fatal danger is that the Spring of Life this year doesn't have any extra Water of Life production. " They won't leave until they see the Water of Life! "    

"That was in the past. Now that they have seen the Water of Life... According to what I know, " This time, the people brought by the Medicine Sect, Treasure Sect, and Azure Sect are several times more than before. One of them is the Sect Master of the Azure Sect. The first lady of the Treasure Pavilion and the Great Elder of the Medicine Sect have come personally. The experts from the other sects are also much stronger than before. "    

But this time, we really can't hand over the Water of Life! As you all know, the Water of Lifes have all been used... "    

"Alright. These are not things that we can discuss. The problem now was not only about the Water of Life, but also the ambitions of the ten great sects toward the Spring of Life. There are still three days left before the tribute ceremony begins. We should think about how to delay it! "    

...    

In the secret chamber, the patriarchs of the four great families gathered together and discussed with furrowed brows.    

Obviously, this topic was very serious, and it made their expressions very ugly.    

Right at this moment, the patriarch of Wang family glanced at the others and asked: "I have an idea. It's a very risky idea. I wonder if you guys dare?"    

"We have already reached this stage. There's nothing to be afraid of!" The patriarch of Sun family looked at him coldly and urged him.    

"We can tell the people of the ten great sects that there's a problem with the Spring of Life. Now, we can't get the Water of Life. If that's the case, the ten great sects will definitely explode. Perhaps, they will even eliminate us. But, what if we tell them that we can bring them to the Spring of Life in a few months' time?"    

The patriarch of the Wang family glanced at the others and said slowly, "Even if they know that we are stalling for time, they won't refuse. What we lack now is time!"    

This...    

The patriarchs of the other three families looked at each other and finally nodded. "Alright! We'll do as you say!"
