Chapter 21 'Chu Qing'
Chapter 21 'Chu Qing'
Once these words were spoken, they could really cause a huge uproar.
The entire front yard was quiet for a moment, followed by a flurry of discussion.
"Third Young Master? The third son of the Chu family?"
"Truth, who ran away from marriage seven years ago? He's back?"
"I thought he had died out there, but I didn't expect he could come back. Is this a return to his hometown in glory, or is it because he can't make it out there anymore?"
"Does the engagement still count?"
"It counts. Anyway, I haven't heard that the marriage between the Chu family and the City Lord's Mansion has been annulled."
Everyone in the venue was whispering to each other, as if they had endless things to say.
Chu Yunfei, who was at the top, was stunned for a moment, then he spoke hurriedly:
"Where is my son?"
"The master is outside."
The servant said:
"The Third Young Master said that he ran away from home, and now he dares not step into the house without the master's permission."
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath after hearing this and wanted to say something, but then he glanced at Wu Qianhuan who was not far away and his anger showed on his face:
"How can this be possible? He ran away from his marriage and now he's back home, but he doesn't even enter the house. What does he want to do?
"Let this rebellious son in. I want to see what great ambitions he has achieved after being away from home for seven years!"
Upon hearing this, the servant quickly agreed and turned around to invite someone.
Chu Yunfei said to Wu Qianhuan:
"Qian Huan, don't worry. I haven't heard from this bastard for seven years. Now that he's back, I will make sure he gives you an explanation."
Wu Qianhuan's expression was complicated.
I just feel my mind is in a mess...
The familiar look in the eyes of the man disguised as a servant was definitely not fake.
Although she felt unsure before, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the person should be Chu Qing.
I thought he should be in the front yard now, hiding his identity, and I don't know what his plan is.
But who would have thought that another Chu Qing would arrive at the door...
She forced herself to calm down.
There can't be two Chu Qings in this world.
I just looked around the yard and didn't find anyone suspicious.
But there were so many people in the front yard that she couldn't guarantee that she hadn't missed anything.
Or, he simply stopped pretending and planned to return to the Chu family in his true identity?
Thinking of this, she let out a breath and smiled slightly:
"Okay, Uncle Chu, I'll leave it to you."
Chu Qing, who was in the crowd, lowered his head slightly.
He felt something was wrong...
The one who was wrong wasn't the 'Chu Qing' outside the door.
In fact, when he was really in his room and the killer from the Mirror Table was lurking there, he knew what the man was going to do.
This is a chain of schemes.
The correct order should be to start with this first.
First, the fake Chu Qing comes to the door and stages a play of a wanderer returning home and a prodigal son returning home.
When they are close enough, he will suddenly attack with ruthless force, committing an immoral act of a rebellious son killing his father.
Such means are inherently difficult to guard against.
But Chu Yunfei is a martial arts expert, so it would not be difficult to seriously injure him with this move, but it might not be possible to kill him.
With such twists and turns during the day, even though Chu Yunfei was seriously injured, it was inevitable that he would miss his son. It was inevitable that he would drag his seriously injured body to Chu Qing's yard in the evening to express his feelings.
In this way, you will completely fall into the opponent's calculation. At that time, the assassin who has been hiding for a long time will suddenly make a ruthless move, and no matter how amazing your cultivation is, it will be difficult to escape the disaster.
Chu Qing made inferences based on the information that person could obtain, and it was easy for him to see through these tactics.
He felt something was wrong somewhere else...
But for a moment, I couldn't tell what was wrong.
But now there is no time to think about it, as I am staring at the front yard full of spectators.
A somewhat disheveled young man stumbled into the yard following the servants.
He is young, with a handsome face, and bears some resemblance to Chu Yunfei when he was young.
His eyes were filled with bitterness. He entered the yard and knelt on the ground without waiting for Chu Yunfei to speak. He kowtowed fiercely:
"Unfilial son Chu Qing, hello to your father."
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.
He really put a lot of thought into it... But after seeing this person's appearance, Chu Qing became more certain that the person didn't know his true identity.
However, given this man's appearance, it should not be difficult to deceive Chu Yunfei.
After all, we haven't seen each other for seven years. His features have grown, so it's normal that he looks different from before.
With a face that is 30% similar to Chu Yunfei, it is hard to mistake the fake for the real thing.
As his thoughts turned, Chu Yunfei let out a deep breath:
"Rebellious son! How dare you come back?!"
He suddenly stood up, and in one quick step he was already in front of Chu Qing, raising his hand to hit him.
The inner strength gathered in his palms, causing the wine pots and tea cups on the surrounding tables to tremble slightly and make rustling sounds.
Chu Qing knelt on the ground without looking up:
"I know I am unfilial and deserve death. Please punish me, father!!"
The hand that was raised high did not fall down in the end. Instead, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said:
"You...you rebellious son, how can you be so cruel?
"Seven years... Seven whole years without any news from you. Do you know... You left for the best, but where did you leave your family?
"Your second brother is in Taiyi Sect. Whenever he receives a letter from home, he always asks about your whereabouts. He even asks the sect's teachers to find out your whereabouts when they travel around the world.
“Your eldest brother has been looking for you till now. Whenever there is any sign of trouble, he will come to your house in person. He always goes there with hope, but returns with disappointment on his face.
"How could you bear not to come back for seven years!!"
When he said this, he glanced at Wu Qianhuan again, and then became even angrier:
“Besides, if you leave, you know that all the rumors in the city will fall on Qian Huan.
"She is the eldest daughter of Tianwu City. These people dare not say anything openly, but what good things can they say about her behind her back?
"You...you, I must beat you to death today!!"
Wu Qianhuan had been staring at the 'Chu Qing' lying on the ground, but this person had kept his head down since he came in and had never even glanced at her.
He then knelt on the ground, with only the back of his head exposed.
She waited for a long time but he didn't look up. As a result, Chu Yunfei was about to take action. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Chu Yunfei's arm:
"Uncle Chu, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Chu Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly look up, and with a flick of her sleeves, two short knives appeared in her hands. She thrust them upwards, intending to stab them into Chu Yunfei's chest and abdomen, so that the second half of her unfinished sentence turned directly into an exclamation:
"Be careful!!"
This was a great shock. He shouted out, but it was too late to move.
No one present could even react to this change.
It was clearly a reunion between father and son, but who could have thought that the son was harboring evil intentions! ?
It seemed that Chu Yunfei was caught off guard and was about to be injured by the two swords.
A sword mark appeared out of nowhere.
Like a meteor or a bolt of lightning, at that moment, a mark was left in the eyes of all the guests in the venue... a sword mark!
