ers why Prince Xiao, who is逍遙 in Chinese, didn't reveal his identity. If it weren't for the incident involving Mr.董 earlier, there might not have been anyone who knew that Prince Xiao is actually a yo...Chapter 322: A Man and a Woman (2)

"Well, I’m not sure. Black Wind Stronghold is quite mysterious; they come without a trace and leave the same way, and the government has never managed to catch them. The common people who know about it have all been silenced by them. All we know is that they are somewhere in the Great Wild Goose Mountain," said the old man’s son.

"Oh, I see. Then did they ever do something similar to this robbery before" Immortal Carefree asked.

"Of course, what happened this time was relatively mild; there were several instances of massacring villages before, causing a huge commotion that was much more serious," the nearby person replied angrily.

"Then it looks like we can’t count on the government for help. We need to use other methods." Immortal Carefree said, since nothing had happened in the past when similar incidents occurred, there was no reason to expect anything now. It was a fact that everyone could see, but those involved might still have hope even though they knew it was impossible.

"..." Everyone fell silent.

“I will try my best to figure out this matter; I also hope they can survive so I can get more clues.” Immortal Carefree said calmly and then continued asking others for information.

After questioning everyone, Immortal Carefree could almost recreate the events of that time, possibly even knowing more than the villagers. This was thanks to his intelligence gathering and analysis abilities, which he had used before.

Now he was certain about a few things: Firstly, twenty years ago when those people came to the small village, it was just that man and woman; although this can’t rule out everyone forgetting or not knowing in the first place, the likelihood of this is rather low.

Secondly, almost all said that back then, the couple seemed like they were from another world, their actions and words a bit strange.

The last point was that those two seemed to be an ideal match like a golden child and jade maiden, handsome and graceful for the man, beautiful and noble for the woman. Regardless of where they came from, they should have had high status, which can be seen in some details about them.

Moreover, everyone's impression was that this couple was somewhat special; after all, it wasn’t often when such distinguished guests visited a small village like this one.

What to do next, Immortal Carefree considered. He definitely needed to go to Black Wind Stronghold to save them because although he had managed to recreate most of the events, there were still many details that needed to be filled in, and these were exactly what he was looking for as clues.

Although it wasn’t certain whether he could get these details from people, perhaps those who knew have already passed away. But even so, they represented hope Immortal Carefree couldn't afford to let go of.

If he wanted to save them, then he needed a way to deal with the people in Black Wind Stronghold; however, Immortal Carefree wasn’t concerned about this because there was nothing in this Eastern European country that he couldn’t handle.

Okay, even if there were special circumstances and Black Wind Stronghold had a small sect’s power like Green Dragon Society, would it be enough Even so, Immortal Carefree could deal with it. If stronger than that, then he might need help from others.

But was this possible

Forget about more powerful ones; even something like the Green Dragon Society’s power level is impossible to hide in a small country like this one. Even if there were such an organization, Immortal Carefree would have some information on it and wouldn’t be completely clueless.

Now Immortal Carefree was considering how to do it; he wasn’t thinking about how to solve the matter but rather what method to use. He had many methods that could work, of course all clear ways to achieve his goal, just different trade-offs involved.

For these problems, Immortal Carefree didn't find it difficult to decide on, as long as he chose the least impactful and most effortless way. So Immortal Carefree prepared…

"Catch that brat for me!"

Immortal Carefree hadn’t made a decision yet when someone came looking for him, charging on horseback, causing people and horses to fall over; they didn’t care about this at all, just wanting to achieve their goal: surround Immortal Carefree.

What were they doing

Immortal Carefree was a bit confused but soon recognized them as the ones who had occupied the road earlier. These people chased him here; indeed determined.

"What do you want"

Before Immortal Carefree could speak, he was already surrounded by others, but these were those protecting Immortal Carefree: the villagers of the small village who had just been treated by Immortal Carefree.

Seeing Immortal Carefree being surrounded, the simple mountain folk naturally came out to protect him; after all, Immortal Carefree was someone who helped them and thus their benefactor. When their benefactor was surrounded, they naturally wanted to intervene.

No matter who the other side were

Sure enough, even if the king had arrived at this point, they wouldn't have shown any respect. They were straightforward and didn't think too much about it.

"I asked what you are doing here! Do you know who our young master is!" one of the servants said arrogantly as he looked down upon these ordinary folk in front of him.

At this moment, "Free-and-Easy" spoke up and asked, "Who is your young master"

"Boy, listen carefully. Our young master is the son of the Cao Family from Dongou Kingdom. Do you know who the Cao family is" The servant said arrogantly, asking a question that he was sure the other party would know.

In this Dongou Kingdom, one could not know about the king, but they had to know about the Cao Family because it was not only the biggest clan in the kingdom, but also held many important economic resources. In short, if the Cao family wanted to destroy the entire kingdom, no one could stop them.

Of course, the Cao family would never do such a thing as they understood that when their neighbor was destroyed, they wouldn't fare well either!

No matter how you looked at it, here in Dongou Kingdom, everyone had to know about the Cao Family. This could be seen from the villagers' panic; even those living in remote areas knew of them.

Therefore, at this moment, these people from the Cao family felt very good about themselves, and that young master behind was also looking down on others with a noble appearance, enjoying their fear.

This made everyone think that "Free-and-Easy" should have said, 'I know! I'm afraid of you. Please spare me!' But instead, he calmly replied, "I've heard of the Cao Family before, so what"

He knew about them because before coming to Dongou Kingdom, he had made some necessary preparations and done research on such a famous family.

However, after knowing them, he felt even more unconcerned. Because this showed that he was aware of the power behind these people in front of him.

At this moment, "Free-and-Easy" wanted to say in his heart, 'So it's just the Cao Family!'

"Are you scared now Then learn your lesson... Wait, what did you just say" At first, the servant thought that "Free-and-Easy" was afraid as he expected. But when he heard those words, they didn't sound like fear and even seemed to carry a hint of disdain.

"Don’t tell me your ears are bad If I said it clearly enough but you still can’t hear it, then let me repeat: I’ve heard about the Cao Family. So what" "Free-and-Easy" said coolly without any disrespect towards the Cao family, but his tone made them feel belittled. This was unbearable to those from the Cao family.

“You dare to look down on our Cao family I will make you die!” The young master of the Cao Family got angry, but he maintained an arrogant posture, seemingly not wanting to take it personally and instead letting others handle it for him.

"Although I can guess your thoughts at this moment, I must clarify that I am not looking down on you," "Free-and-Easy" said calmly.

"It's no use saying anything now; we won't let you off." Those servants thought he was showing weakness and became even more arrogant, looking at him with a hateful expression.

Hmm, to the villagers in those small villages, they were indeed hateful. Perhaps not just them, but anyone who saw how they oppressed ordinary people would feel the same way.

However, no matter what feelings others had towards them, they dared not speak up against it here. In this place, the Cao Family was like an unruly princess of Qingyun City, and a blackened one at that – simply put, true bullies.

True bullies would never act like such a princess; oppressing civilians is their daily business, and they could randomly cause trouble without reason. In the end, everything would be forgotten with just a smile.

"I didn’t expect you to let me go anyway. From your attitude of chasing us down for overtaking you on the road, anyone can tell that you are hard to deal with, and will only give in when they see no other way," "Free-and-Easy" said smilingly while staring at the young master of the Cao Family, his gaze hinting at something deep.

Those familiar with him knew he was planning something against them. If they were smart enough to leave early, it would be tragic if not.

"￥#&…"

The words of "Free-and-Easy" provoked a string of curses from the other side. The swearing seemed quite filthy, but they were filtered out by him completely. He simply scratched his ears as if he hadn't heard anything.

...

The people from Cao Family fell silent; they knew their vulgar words wouldn’t work and felt ashamed to use them. Even they could feel this shame, which was an unusual feeling for them.

Apparently, ignoring someone had a hundred times the impact of arguing with them. Choosing to ignore at the right moment would drive people crazy – "Free-and-Easy" demonstrated this perfectly.

"Why aren’t you talking I’ll say one more thing: I am not looking down on you because I don't like looking at others with a certain kind of gaze. However, your desire to have me look up at you won't happen," "Free-and-Easy" said calmly. "I love this sentence very much: Don’t underestimate yourself too much, because everyone is the same; even if you lag behind others now, there’s always an opportunity to catch up. but it showed immediate results.After using energy to clear out the medicine's effects, the carefree one began treating her for injuries as well.
