Chapter 102: A Little Bit

Chapter 102: A Little Bit
The exchange of glances did not last long before it was interrupted by the madam's voice.

“I think everyone who comes here tonight knows Miss Lingfei.

“Although she has only been in our Tianxianglou for a short time, she has become our top performer in a short period of time.

"The girl is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and prose, and has a graceful figure and a unique dancing style.

"Tianxiang Tower is not a place to stay for long. I can't bear to see such a good girl wasting her time here.

"So, I thought about choosing a good man for her..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

The old procuress's chattering was interrupted by someone, and a fat man covered in jewels and precious stones slapped the table and stood up:
"I'll give you one hundred taels!!"

The madam's face darkened. You want to buy the oiran from here for just one hundred taels?
Have your spring and autumn dreams!
But she was not in a hurry. If she wanted to sell something, she had to start from the bottom. If someone was willing to spend a thousand taels of silver for her, then this deal would be a huge profit.

"Without money, you dare to imitate others' romantic life?"

Sure enough, someone immediately mocked and raised his hand and said:
"Five hundred taels!"

The madam's eyes lit up, this was sincerity.

He immediately said with a smile:

"Oh, sir, seeing you like this, even my heart is moved."

The man was so disgusted that he rolled his eyes:
"If you want to go with me, you have to give me five hundred taels."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Ling Fei sat on the high platform, his eyes were full of emptiness. Only when he occasionally looked at Cao Qiupu, a glimmer of light would appear in those empty eyes.

Chu Qing looked at the two men thoughtfully.

It was clear from the first glance that there was something wrong between these two people. Now it seems... could it be an emotional debt owed by Cao Qiupu in the past?
Looking at his hand again, he was holding a wine glass in his palm, which seemed to have been overwhelmed.

He coughed slightly:
"If you damage someone's things, you have to pay for it."

Cao Qiupu turned a deaf ear to this.

Biancheng was watching the fun from the sidelines, and when Chu Qing said this, he was a little confused.

Chu Qing nodded towards Cao Qiupu, and Bian Cheng suddenly understood.

Immediately his eyes rolled and he raised his hand:

"Eight hundred taels!"

Cao Qiupu suddenly looked towards the border town, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

Bian Cheng said with a smile:
"If you are interested, Mr. Cao, you need to bid as soon as possible. This girl is pretty. If you are late, I am afraid she will fall into the arms of someone else."

"I……"

Cao Qiupu's face was difficult:
"I... don't have any money..."

This statement obviously acknowledges something.

The people downstairs were a little annoyed by the price increase. They looked up and glanced at Chu Qing and his group, but then shrank their necks.

Having been in the underworld for many years, I knew at a glance that these people upstairs were not easy to mess with.

I had to swallow my anger and just spoke silently:
"One thousand taels!"

This is indeed a risky thing. After all, if you anger the people in the underworld, you may live to spend the thousand taels, but you won't be able to enjoy the things you bought.

Now he is only left with one breath, so he doesn't want to give up so easily.

Cao Qiupu was almost sweating profusely on his forehead.

Chu Qing was amazed at what he saw. When facing the overwhelming number of knife puppets in Qingxi Village that day, he had never seen Cao Qiupu like this.

Is it true that even a hero can be tempted by beauty?

As I was thinking about this, I heard footsteps coming from the side. A servant came over with a plate of snacks.
"Sir, the food is here."

Chu Qing glanced at the man and suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Without warning, he slapped him on the chest with his backhand.

Bang.

The man flew backwards without even a grunt.

The hand hidden under the plate was still tightly grasping a dagger when it flew out.

His body fell towards the first floor, and this scene immediately caused an uproar.

"There are assassins!"

I don’t know which unlucky person shouted.

The entire Tianxiang Tower suddenly fell into chaos.

Chu Qing frowned slightly, and heard a series of sounds of breaking wind beside his ears.

A figure flashed beside him and a punch was thrown out.

Taiyi Divine Fist!!
It was Border Town that took action.

During the chaos in the Divine Sword Hall today, Bian Cheng was just a bystander from the beginning to the end, mainly protecting Wen Rou and Mo Duxing, and he made very few moves.

The last punch was directed at Pei Wuji.

But at that time he was too far away and was affected by the Chaos Sword, so he was unable to exert his true strength.

As soon as the punch started, it seemed as if all the air around it was sucked out. As the punch came out, the wind was like a tornado, blowing away with a bang.

The hidden weapons around were blown away before they could get close.

Black figures appeared from windows, doorways, stairs, etc., and rushed towards Chu Qing and his group without any hesitation.

"who?"

Bian Cheng looked confused and turned to look at Chu Qing:

"Looking for you?"

Chu Qing looked at Wenrou:

"Maybe."

As soon as he finished speaking, a single-edged sword was already in front of him. He clenched his right fist and punched out.

A chilly energy rose along with the force of the fist, and a layer of ice condensed around the man at a speed visible to the naked eye. He flew backwards and knocked away several men in black around him.

These people were attacked by the cold air and could not move for a while.

At the same time, there was a loud crash above his head, and another man in black fell down from above his head.

Reach out with one hand and take away tenderness.

Wenrou was not surprised or flustered when she saw this, and she pointed to the sky.

The fingertips touched the palm, and with a "puff" sound, a streak of blood suddenly spurted out on the palm, pierced by the gentle finger force.

Then he reached out his hand gently and grabbed the Neiguan, Yangchi and other acupoints on the man's wrist. With a burst of force, he immediately penetrated his whole body.

The man in black still wanted to struggle, trying to resist with his internal strength.

But before he could move, his whole body was already spinning, and he was thrown to the ground by Wenrou, in great pain.

However, this time there were more killers than expected.

Mo Duxing stood with a sword in his hand, looked up at the man in black who was running from the end of the corridor. He narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, as if he wanted to attack.

But Biancheng pulled him directly and threw him behind him:
"Don't make trouble, big brother."

As he spoke, he stretched out his palms and pushed forward fiercely.

These people came and left quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were at the end of the corridor again.

He turned around and looked at Chu Qing:
"Third Young Master, are you going to break out first?"

This group of men in black obviously came here with a purpose, and it would be inappropriate for them to stay here any longer.

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cao Qiupu. This man had been here before and seemed to want to help deal with the men in black.

However, when he saw the man in black downstairs killing people because the girls in the brothel were in the way, he became a little panicked.

When the top star Ling Fei was about to die at the hands of the man in black, he could no longer sit still.

He leaped forward and knocked the man in black away with one palm.

Immediately afterwards, he used his finger as a whistle and blew a loud whistle. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves galloping came from outside the door.

In the blink of an eye, a white horse appeared in front of him, kicking away two men in black who were trying to get close. Cao Qiupu carried Ling Fei onto the horse with both hands and patted the horse's buttocks:

"Go!"

Brother Bai glanced at Cao Qiupu angrily.

It was clearly written on the horse's face: Just go, why are you hitting me?
Then he jogged all the way, as if he was afraid of throwing the person off his back, and ran out of Tianxiang Tower carefully.

At this point, the old procuress no longer cared about Lingfei's value. She hid under the table, trembling, and didn't even notice who had taken away her cash cow.

After Cao Qiupu accomplished this, he seemed to be very pleased with himself.

He jumped up to the second floor and joined Chu Qing and his group.

This may sound like a long story, but in reality it only takes a moment.

When Cao Qiupu came back, Chu Qing responded to Biancheng:
"Let's go, break out!"

They wanted to break out, but these men in black were no match for them.

It seemed that the men in black just wanted to use human wave tactics to forcibly achieve their goal, but unfortunately, Chu Qing was ruthless with his knife, and even if their numbers doubled, they would not be able to gain any advantage today.

But in just a moment, the group flew to the roof of Tianxiang Tower.

Those men in black knew that it was impossible to succeed, so they just dispersed.

Before Chu Qing and the others decided whether to give chase or not, fierce shouts and screams had already reached their ears.

Looking around, everyone realized that the entire Shendao City was in chaos tonight.

The most serious situation is in the direction of Shen Dao Tang.

There were shouts and screams, as well as flames rising into the sky.

There are many forces that have broken into the Divine Sword City. In addition to powerful ones like Tingtao Pavilion, Feiyun Valley, and Yiqi League, there are also small gangs like the Sihai Gang.

Over the years, the Divine Sword Hall has stood tall in the martial arts world.

Even if they couldn't take away those territories, power and other things, the gold, silver, jewelry and various wealth they looted were enough to make people jealous.

A group of people left during the day because of the "Nine Profound Divine Art", but those who stayed took advantage of the night to start killing and burning.

Chu Qing took a quick glance and was about to look away when he saw an old man in the alley holding a child, running with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to have just come out of home.

A gangster with a black scarf on his head and a bloodstained knife in his hand was chasing him from behind.

Further behind, there was a man covered in blood struggling forward, trying to reach out and pull him up. However, he was so seriously injured that he could only run two steps before he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a thud.

The old man was old and his eyesight was poor. He accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.

The only thing you can do is to hold the child in your arms before he falls.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the single sword was already above his head.

puff!

Something hot splashed on the old man's face. He slowly opened his eyes, which he had wanted to close to wait for death. He saw that the gangster who had just held a knife and wanted to kill him had his head moved away.

The swordsman in green stood with his back to him, his sword pointed at the ground, blood still dripping slowly.

The old man endured the pain and knelt down:
"Please, hero, save my grandson..."

Chu Qing held the knife in his hand, and heard bursts of exclamations, screams, wild laughter, and roars in his ears. He felt his hands trembling slightly.

Whether it is memory, his own experience, or what he has learned about the history of this world from various aspects.

They all told him that the world he lived in was a chaotic one.

However, the story of this chaotic world has never appeared so clearly before his eyes.

Even though he passed by the town, he saw the sadness of the town and the helplessness of the town's residents in the face of the bandits and their resignation to their fate.

It is not as intuitive as the scene in front of us.

"Third Young Master!"

The sound of the border town appeared in my ears:

"Divine Sword City has become a place of controversy..."

Chu Qing glanced at him and nodded slightly:

"Those assassins might be coming for Wenrou, you guys take her away first..."

"how about you?"

Bian Cheng asked.

"Some things would be fine if you had never encountered them."

Chu Qing tightened the knife in his hand:

"But if you see it with your own eyes...how can you just let it go?"

"You want to... help them?"

Biancheng's voice was a little heavy, and it was hard to tell whether it was supportive or not.

Chu Qing always felt that there was something indescribable in his voice.

But at this moment he had no intention of distinguishing, nor did he want to distinguish.

"Helping them... that's arrogant, but I can only do my best."

Chu Qing spoke softly and walked forward.

Upon hearing this, Cao Qiupu burst into laughter:
"Okay, what Third Brother said makes a lot of sense. It is the true qualities of a hero to draw the sword when seeing injustice and to take action for justice.

"I'll go with you!!"

Bian Cheng took a deep look at Chu Qing's back and smiled.
"We drink wine together, and we can't be left behind in the fight."

Chu Qing looked back at them and didn't hesitate:

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

The turbulent world is like a torrent, and the young heroes are willing to go against the current with swords and knives in hand.

Flames, blood, knife lights, sword shadows...

This is a fierce battle.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is difficult to escape unscathed from such a situation.

Even a long-renowned hero like Cao Qiupu, or a disciple from a famous master like Biancheng Wenrou, would find it difficult to remain undefeated in such an environment.

There are too many opponents... The gang may be small, but it has many means.

Those who are weak in martial arts will spread lime powder, use poison, and shoot arrows from behind to hurt people.

You can prevent it once, but it is difficult to prevent it every time.

Even if you can be on guard all the time, your internal energy is gradually being consumed.

Slowly, I started to run out of energy, and finally I was powerless to move on…

After two hours, Chu Qing and his group began to show signs of fatigue.

Chu Qing's own ninth-level internal strength of the Mingyu Sutra can protect his internal strength, and the more he fights, the deeper his internal strength becomes.

But the people behind him couldn't bear it.

Looking at Chu Qing's still tall figure, he couldn't help but say in his heart, this is really a monster.

Is his inner strength infinite?

Won’t he be tired?
Wouldn't he be afraid after killing so many people?

The blue clothes on his body had long been stained with blood, and every step he took would leave a bloody footprint on the ground.

Too many people were killed.

But even so, they only walked through a quarter of the entire city.

The common people followed the crowd spontaneously, and everyone paid attention to the figure dressed in green and holding a single sword.

Only by following him can I feel a little peace in this bloody night.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the front, and a voice shouted:
"Tonight's dispute does not involve the common people. Anyone who dares to disturb the common people will be an enemy of our Yiqi League!"

Chu Qing raised his eyes and heard footsteps, but in the blink of an eye, people were everywhere in front of him.

A pale-faced man holding an iron spear came through the crowd.

The leader of the Righteous Alliance...Dragon Spear, Fang Tianrui!
