Chapter 71 What about me?

Chapter 71 What about me?

Chapter 71 What about me?
It rained heavily last night, but the sun is shining brightly today.

The streets, teahouses and restaurants were crowded with people.

What happened last night also began to spread on the streets.

"I heard that people from Wanye Valley came to attack us last night. A huge battle almost tore down the City Lord's Mansion. What's worse, a magic master appeared and almost brought disaster to our Tianwu City!"

"I've heard about it, too. There seems to be a lot of conspiracy behind this. Wan Yegu colluded with the Shensha Gang and Luoyu Hall to sneak into Tianwu City, intending to seize Tianwu City.

"However, City Wu Lord anticipated the enemy's intentions and dealt with the Shensha Gang first. Cheng Sihai was beheaded by a sword."

"Do you know who was the one who chopped off Cheng Sihai's head with a sword?"

"Of course it's the master from our Tianwu City!"

"You are wrong. The person who killed Cheng Sihai was a swordsman. In Tianwu City, apart from Miss Wu, there is no one who is proficient in swordsmanship..."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Hey, this man is the Night Emperor who killed the Seven Iron Horse Thieves with his sword!"

"It's actually him? Why would he help us? Is he related to City Dance Lord?"

“I don’t know about that… But this Night Emperor is really amazing. He first killed Cheng Sihai with one sword, and last night he killed Wu Qingshan, Hu Xiufang and other masters of Wan Ye Valley one after another.

"Even the last magic master was killed by him!"

"So clever!?"

“It can be said to shock ghosts and make gods cry!”

The sound of chattering discussions can be heard everywhere.

People no longer had the worry they had a few days ago when they heard about the impending war. Now, everyone's faces were beaming with joy as they gossiped.

After all, their Tianwu City won a great victory in this battle, which means that Tianwu City will be peaceful in the next few years or even decades.

In the corner of the teahouse, a solitary figure sat there quietly, listening to the discussions around him in a daze.

To be precise, when this person heard that 'Cheng Sihai had his head chopped off by a sword', she began to become dazed.

After hazily taking in all the words that followed, Xia Wanshuang took a deep breath:
“He turned out to be the Night Emperor.

"No wonder he was equipped with a sword instead of a knife last night. It turns out that he is better at swordsmanship than knife skills."

Now that her revenge had been achieved, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

She didn't know if it was because she didn't kill Cheng Sihai herself that she felt a little regretful...

However, Cheng Sihai's death was always related to her.

When Xia Wanshuang thought of the reward that man asked for, her face turned slightly red.

She got up from the teahouse, left the money and went out.

With one step deep and one step shallow, we arrived at Cuiyun Inn.

She opened an ordinary room here... She was telling the truth before, she really didn't have much money.

She could survive a room like this for a few days, but she couldn't afford anything better.

I asked the store owner for a few buckets of hot water and soaked my whole body in it.

After washing myself carefully, I changed into clean clothes and sat on the bed waiting...

She didn't know when that person would come.

But she knew that if that person came, he would definitely be able to find her.

Although there was also a voice in my heart shouting.

The person has already been killed, so why humiliate yourself like this?

There are so many people in this vast sea of ​​people. If you leave Tianwu City, where can he find you?
But at the same time as this thought came to mind, another thought arose in my mind:

“Xia family children always keep their promises, how can we break an agreement?

"Well, just think of it as being bitten by a dog!!"

……

……

Chu Qing didn't know that there was a girl in Cuiyun Inn waiting to be bitten by a dog.

When I came out of the Chu family, the lights were already on.

After not seeing each other for seven years, Chu Yunfei really talked a lot to him.

But the most important things are still those three things.

The first thing was that Chu Yunfei gave him a token.

The token is small but very delicate, with cloud pattern carvings all around and the word "xu" engraved in the middle.

Chu Yunfei said that this was the token of Xuhuai Sect back then.

Since the destruction of Xuhuai Sect, its disciples have gone all over the world. If one meets someone with this token, they are all fellow disciples.

Although it is still unknown how much help we can get, what if it is useful?
Chu Yunfei gave this sign to Chu Qing for this reason.

As for the second thing, it is about the mother of the three brothers of the Chu family.

Chu Qing didn't know much about the mother's identity, and Chu Yunfei didn't explain it in too much detail.

He just gave him a letter and asked him to go to Tianyin Prefecture in Lingbei to find a family with the surname Liu.

That is Chu Qing's mother's home, and this letter will be handed over to his uncle.

Chu Yunfei did not tell Chu Qing what was written in the letter. He just said mysteriously that he would know when Chu Qing arrived.

Chu Qing thought to himself that maybe his mother's family was not simple either.

Chu Yunfei's move was probably to give himself some extra help.

Although he didn't want to accept it, seeing Chu Yunfei's expression, he couldn't refuse and put the letter in his arms.

Anyway, he can travel around the world as he pleases, and it doesn't matter where he goes.

As long as he can get orders, he can continue to grow.

It might also be a good idea to take a trip to Tianyin Mansion in Lingbei.

The last thing gave Chu Qing a headache.

This matter concerns the gentle nose of the dog.

Wenrou's main purpose of going down the mountain was to go home with Chu Fan, so that Chu Fan could send her home.

As a result, Chu Fan was injured last night and couldn't move for a while.

It would not be convenient for the little girl to stay in the Chu family forever, so Chu Yunfei wanted Chu Qing to send her home on behalf of Chu Fan.

Chu Tian had told Chu Qing before that this gentle family was not simple... Chu Qing also understood what Chu Yunfei's plan was.

But to be honest, he really didn't want to have too much contact with Wenrou.

This little girl has an extremely sensitive nose, which makes her the natural nemesis of people like him.

But after careful consideration, he agreed.

It can be considered as making up for the seven years of being away from home.

But in the end, Chu Qing also made a request... He hoped that Chu Yunfei could go to Wu Ganqi and cancel the marriage.

After all, his fight with Nie Jingtai will not end overnight.

I thought these seven years would be enough time for this marriage to be postponed thousands of times.

As a result, this marriage contract was as solid as a rock and has remained stable until now.

Chu Yunfei shook his head repeatedly at this request.

Tell Chu Qing:

"It's not that your father doesn't want to let you go. After all, Qian Huan is getting older, and we can't let an unfilial son like you delay the girl's marriage.

"The main reason is that Qian Huan herself disagreed, saying that although the Wu family is not a famous family, they are still influential.

"There is no possibility of cancelling the engagement or finding another one... unless you come to her house in person, and she kills you with a sword, and becomes a widow."

These words blocked all possibilities, and Chu Qing was speechless.

The little girl has always been opinionated. Even if Wu Ganqi were to tell her about this matter, I'm afraid the result would be the same.

In the end, he had no choice but to make an agreement with Chu Yunfei that he would come to find Wenrou early tomorrow morning and then leave Tianwu City together.

This time Chu Yunfei didn't say anything else... As an elder, he couldn't say much about the children's affairs. He just warned Chu Qing not to let Wu Qianhuan wait in vain...

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the affairs of the Tianxie Cult.

But we have no clue about this. This group of people came from unknown places and their purpose is unknown. It is very mysterious.

However, Chu Tian told Chu Qing that a dried corpse wearing Liu Dafu's clothes was found in the Liu family's yard.

They suspected that the Tianxie Cult must have a martial art that could allow one to disguise oneself as someone else. Chu Yan used this to replace Liu Dafu's identity and pretend to be an insider in Tianwu City.

Perhaps he had a disagreement with Tang Yinfeng afterwards, which led to the scene last night. Tang Yinfeng's body was also found in the dungeon.

This also made Chu Qing even more wary of the Tianxie Cult.

…………

In the oil and grain shop, Zhou Yi's forehead was steaming.

Chu Qing was cold and aloof.

This was him using the Mingyu Sutra to help Zhou Yi eliminate the last bit of demonic energy.

His Mingyu Sutra contains the characteristics of Zixia Magic Art and Ruoxu Sutra, so dissolving foreign qi can be a piece of cake. After practicing for a period of time, he has become even more familiar with this matter.

A flash of jade-like color flashed across Chu Qing's eyes, and Zhou Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that the evil spirit that had been lingering in his heart suddenly dissipated.

I took a deep breath and felt more relaxed than ever before.

He turned around and knelt down in front of Chu Qing:
"Thank you for your kindness in giving me a new life."

"stand up."

Chu Qing hid himself under the black clothes and white mask, and his voice was as cold as Shura.

However, over the past period of time, Zhou Yi has become accustomed to hearing this voice. Not only does he not feel fear, but he finds it quite familiar.

I stood up as I was told and saw Chu Qing sitting at the table, seemingly thinking about something.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to speak on his own and just stood aside waiting.

After a while, Chu Qing said:
"Your body has been baptized by the demon seed, and your meridians are very different from those of ordinary people.

“If you practice martial arts, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Just...are you interested in learning martial arts?"

"All at the master's command."

Zhou Yi bowed and said.

"If that's the case, then I'll teach you the formula, and you should study it carefully."

Chu Qing glanced at him:
"I will be leaving Tianwu City in the near future. It is hard to predict when I will return. You should practice well in Tianwu City."

Unpredictable return date...

Monday's empty mind:
"Master...then, then you..."

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"I will never abandon you. If anything changes and I can't come back, I will send someone to look for you.

“Remember, we met at ‘3:00 a.m.’ on that day, and it was raining. If one day, someone comes to you and says ‘3:00 a.m. rain’, you should reply ‘we met’, and then say ‘1:00 a.m. kill’. That was the time when I went to Luoyu Hall to kill Tang Xi, and he should reply ‘it’s raining’.

"You will be able to trust this person, and you should then bring him into the inner hall to talk.

"If you can't answer, there must be something wrong with this person's identity... If that's the case, if you have the ability, you can help me kill him."

Zhou Yi took note of it carefully and nodded:
"The villain understands."

Chu Qing glanced at him:
"It is up to you to decide how to proceed."

Zhou nodded.

Afterwards, Chu Qing taught him a secret formula, which was taken from a part of Zixia Magic Art.

Practicing according to the formula can nourish the inner breath and strengthen it, but there is no method to use it:

"You can't learn my sword skills, and you won't be able to master my knife skills in a short time.

“So you can practice the Qi-cultivation method I taught you, and... go to the martial arts hall in Tianwu City to learn some farming techniques.

“As long as you have the internal strength, ordinary boxing techniques can also exert considerable power.

"But remember, don't show it to others easily."

"Yes, I will keep it in mind."

Zhou Yi bowed his head and agreed obediently.

After making all the arrangements for Zhou Yi, Chu Qing returned to his hiding place.

Nothing happened that night, and before dawn the next day, Chu Qing arrived at the Chu family.

A little girl was squatting on the ground with her arms folded and carrying a bag on her back. She looked like she was abandoned by someone and was very pitiful.

But there were two people behind her.

One is the chief steward Zhou Miao, and the other is Chu Tian.

After seeing Chu Qing, Chu Tian was stunned.

Today, Chu Qing didn't have much disguise, he just dressed up as a swordsman in green.

He carried a bag and the Qingye Sword on his back, but the Qingye Sword was wrapped in a cloth strip, so tightly that not a bit of it could see through. He also had a knife on his waist.

However, his face was gentle, like a pampered young master at home. There was no trace of the coldness of a swordsman. Instead, he looked like a young master who was traveling in disguise.

If this face were dressed in a scholar's robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, I wonder how many ladies would be fascinated by it.

Wenrou raised her head in confusion, looked at Chu Qing in front of her, and sniffed hard:

"who are you?"

“This is my good friend.”

Chu Tian said softly:

"Your third brother cannot leave Tianwu City for the time being. I will ask him to take you home."

"Um……"

Nodded gently:

"Then thank you, Big Brother Chu."

Then he looked at Chu Qing:

"When shall we leave?"

"Now."

Chu Qing said and glanced at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian nodded slightly to him and looked in the direction of the Chu family.

That is where the main building of the Chu family is located. It is three stories high and looks very tall and strong. Standing in the building, you can definitely see the scenery outside.

Chu Qing glanced at the main building, turned around and walked towards the outside of Tianwu City.

Wenrou said nothing and followed Chu Qing quietly.

It was not until they were about to leave the gate of Tianwu City that Wenrou could not help but ask:
"What should I call you?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment:
"Just call me... Third Brother."

He is the third child in the Chu family, so he is naturally the third brother.

Wenrou said "oh" and fell into silence again.

This girl is very quiet, and this trip will probably be a lot easier than I thought.

But when he walked out of Tianwu City and headed north to the "Shili Wangxiang Pavilion", he finally sighed.

Glancing at the gentleness beside him, he said softly:

"Wait for me in front for a while. I have to meet someone."

Wenrou also saw that there was a person in the pavilion.

Dressed in red and carrying a sword.

She is Miss Wu, Wu Qianhuan.

Wenrou was not a nosy person. She nodded and walked forward.

Chu Qing took a deep breath and came to the Shili Wangxiang Pavilion.

Wu Qianhuan didn't look at him, but looked towards the direction of Tianwu City:

“The Shili Wangxiang Pavilion allows travelers to once again gaze at their hometown from afar.

"It can also help people who return home to calm down their homesickness."

Chu Qing didn't say anything, but let out a soft "hmm" sound from his nose.

Wu Qianhuan turned around and looked at him:

"Your Excellency Yedi...is there nothing you want to tell me?

"You left in such a hurry, don't you want the money?"

“…No.”

Chu Qing lowered his head. If he wanted to, why would he leave?

Wu Qianhuan looked straight at him, the hand holding the sword trembling slightly:

"What about me...I don't want it either?"
