Chapter 391 A Cruel Plan

Just when Xiao Bing and Red Rose shouldered their way out of the crowd, they found two men running toward them. Red Rose asked, “Why are you guys in such a hurry?”

“Second Patriarch, Lord Bai Jun and King Mamba asked for your presence in the hall, saying that they have something important to discuss. We have to notify the other patriarchs now.”

“Okay.” Red Rose looked back at Xiao Bing and said, “Let me walk you home.”

“That’s not necessary. I remember the way back and it’s not far.” Xiao Bing said smilingly.

“You must be careful then. Don’t walk around. The folks here are not very… kind to outsiders.”

“I know.” Xiao Bing shot a glance at the crowd and found the hostility obvious in their eyes. He managed a wry smile and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere else. Besides, I belong to you now. I suppose no one will dare to harm me.”

Red Rose bobbed her head and looked at the two guys, “You should inform the other patriarchs now.”

“We will leave you then.”

The two cast a look at Xiao Bing and left hastily.

Red Rose said, “Xiao Jun, wait for me at home. I have something to talk to you about.”

“I will!”

Xiao Bing promised her, with a smile.

Xiao Bing waved at the woman and turned around, walking towards the direction of home. But soon Red Rose began running after him. The moment Xiao Bing turned around, she rushed into his arms. Xiao Bing was stunned, as he put his hands around her waist. The bystanders were all shocked. They had never seen the most beautiful woman of the serpent clan, being so intimate with a man, so publicly.

Xiao Bing felt there was something different about Red Rose today. “What’s wrong?” he asked. .

Red Rose whispered in his arms, “You asked if I want to break out from this cage… Now I want to tell you that I’m fighting for the fate of my clan. After the ceremony is over, no matter how it will end, I want to go with you to see the colorful world out there. Will you take me with you?”

Smiling, Xiao Bing stroked her head. “I will.” He said in a soft voice.

Red Rose grinned, “You must be wondering why I suddenly want to leave. I’ll tell you the reason after the meeting…”

Xiao Bing asked, “Do you truly mean it? You really want to leave this place with me?”

“I never take back my words. Now go back.”

Xiao Bing nodded and exchanged a look with Red Rose. Then they parted. But when Xiao Bing had walked for some distance, he whirled around and trailed behind Red Rose, secretly.

Red Rose arrived at the Patriarchs’ Hall. It was a big and temple-like cabin. There was a desk inside and there were two chairs on both sides. There was also a chair in the center of the cabin. King Mamba was sitting on it and Bai Jun was sitting on the first chair on the left. Red Rose nodded at them after she walked in. Then she sat opposite Bai Jun, without looking at him.

Soon after, the rest of the patriarchs arrived, the Third Presbyter, Snake Ba, the Fourth Patriarch, Chi Lian and the Fifth Patriarch, Yu Ban. The five most powerful people were gathered here. Xiao Bing walked quietly to the rear of the cabin and sneaked in through a window. Then he hid behind the door to the meeting room, peeking through the gap.

Two of them were at the early stage of Void-breaking, two Gang-strength stage and two Dan-strength stage, which made up the five powerful masters of Innate Realm. These people could easily unleash a storm in the outside world. But Xiao Bing knew that Red Rose was not interested in it. He could feel it.

Xiao Bing’s purpose was to hear what they were about to plan. He surmised that he might even obtain some information about the ceremony, which might help him to interrupt the ceremony.

Feng XIII looked at the five patriarchs and said in a serious voice, “You all are the pillars of this land. Now I have something to discuss with you. It must only be known among us, before it is carried out. Can you give me your word for it?”

Snake Ba asked, “King Mamba, just tell us what it is. We know the importance.”

Feng XIII said, “You all need to promise first. It’s very important because it concerns the ceremony.”
