Chapter 115 Unshakable!
Chapter 115 Unshakable!
There was no extra expression on the gentle face, just a slight nod.
Chu Qing got a positive answer and grabbed the black-clothed man's wrist:
"Go back."
The man in black's expression remained unchanged, but his arms did not move.
"Si Ye, he is my sister's friend. Since my sister let him in, you should let him in."
Wen Keren's soft and weak voice came from behind.
The man named Si Ye remained unmoved.
Chu Qing raised her eyes and looked at him. When their eyes met, Chu Qing smiled:
"Are you the Wen family's guard? What's your name?
"Isn't your surname Fu?"
"…Just call me Si Ye."
"So Guard Si is now planning to use the slave to bully the master?"
Chu Qing looked back at Wen Kaiyuan and Wen Keren:
"Or maybe your master is not Wenrou, but someone else..."
Si Ye's eyes darkened slightly:
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Wen Keren's voice also came hurriedly:
"My lord, please don't talk nonsense.
"Brother Si Ye is not a servant of our family... He is just like a family member. He grew up with us."
Chu Qing ignored Wen Keren and just gently pressed Si Ye's arm.
It was so relaxing that it seemed as if Si Ye had put down his arms himself.
Only Si Ye looked on in disbelief. He did not relax at all... but he was unable to resist.
The free hand suddenly reached behind the waist, and he turned his foot, trying to block it.
Then I heard a violent cough from inside the door:
"Outside... cough cough cough... what's the noise outside?"
Wen Kaiyuan quickly said:
"Brother, Rou'er is back. She wants to see you."
"Rou'er...quickly, come in!"
Listening to the sounds coming from the room, Wenrou moved her feet but still did not go in.
Instead, he looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing touched his nose, and his mind became a little complicated for a moment.
Since when did the little girl become so dependent on me?
Logically speaking, when a father and daughter meet, I really shouldn't follow them in.
However, Wenrou insisted that Chu Qing follow him, so he took action... and his methods were very gentle, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the Wen family.
After all, this trip is to send Wenrou home. Even if we can't forge any deep friendship with Luochen Villa, there is no need to make enemies.
"Brother, Rouer brought a friend here, and she wanted him to go in and see you."
Wen Kaiyuan's voice sounded again.
Then I heard Wen Fusheng in the house say:
"Rou'er's friend? Then come in together..."
After hearing this, Si Ye took a step back and gently rubbed his wrist.
Chu Qing smiled:
"Thank you very much."
"..."
Si Ye's face darkened. Although the two of them had not fought just now, Chu Qing gave him a feeling of being powerless to resist.
If this person really wants to force his way in, then I... can't stop him!
Wenrou saw him move aside, so she pulled Chu Qing's sleeve and led him inside.
The space inside the house is not small, and Wen Fusheng is in the room on the left.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
There was a middle-aged man lying on the bed. He had a pale face, but he looked good and was somewhat similar to Wenrou.
He stretched his head to look at the door and saw Wenrou and Chu Qing walking in one after another. He first glanced at Chu Qing and then his eyes fell completely on Wenrou.
"Rou'er... Little Rou'er!"
Wen Fusheng struggled to get up and waved at Wen Rou again and again:
"Is it really my little Rou'er who has returned? Come on, let Daddy... let Daddy take a good look."
Wenrou took a few quicker steps and sat down in front of the bed.
Wen Fusheng grabbed her hand, looked her up and down, and then laughed:
"Xiao Rou'er, my Xiao Rou'er has grown up.
"Ahem... these years, these years are all Dad's fault. Dad sent you to Taiyi Sect, and you... you have suffered."
"Not bitter."
Gentle said:
"Master, mistress, and fellow apprentices are all very kind to me."
Cui Bunu has a total of four disciples, the youngest of whom is a little girl, and she is indeed very much loved.
Wen Fusheng smiled when he heard this:
"Okay, as long as it's not bitter..."
He paused for a moment and looked at Chu Qing again:
"Xiao Rou'er, who is this?"
"He is the third brother. He was the one who escorted me back all the way."
Wenrou gave a brief introduction.
"I see. No wonder you insisted on having him come in with you..."
Wen Fusheng smiled, and then said to Chu Qing:
"I haven't asked you yet, what's your name, little brother?"
Chu Qing looked at Wen Fusheng silently, and instead of saying his name, he asked:
"Master Wen, Si Ye is your man, right?"
Wen Fusheng frowned slightly and answered the question irrelevantly, which was undoubtedly rude, especially to an elder.
But Wen Fusheng was not angry, he just smiled:
"That child has indeed been with me since he was little."
Chu Qing shook his head:
"So the reason why I was not allowed to come in just now was not Si Ye's idea, but Master Wen's idea?
"Master Wen, do you have something to say to Wen Rou, but you can't let the younger generation hear it?"
Wen Fusheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though the tiger was dead, its might was still there. Even though Wen Fusheng was seriously injured, he was still a local tyrant and a master.
He narrowed his eyes, and a heavy atmosphere suddenly enveloped the entire room.
Chu Qing stared at him silently, his whole body calm and composed, not at all affected by Wen Fusheng's aura.
Wenrou looked at Chu Qing, then at Wen Fusheng, with no expression on her face, as if no matter what happened next between these two people with different auras, it had nothing to do with her.
After a while, Wen Fusheng chuckled:
“Little brother, I really don’t understand what you are saying.
"However, I have been separated from Rou'er for many years. I want to have a private conversation and don't want to be disturbed by outsiders. This is... normal, I think."
Chu Qing nodded again after hearing this:
"Then is it normal for Master Wen to pretend to be injured?"
Wen Rou suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Wen Fusheng. Her eyes, which had originally been emotionless, were now filled with a look of 'So you are this kind of father'.
Wen Fusheng was also stunned, but suddenly smiled.
He sat up from the bed immediately, moving swiftly and agilely, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured at all.
He looked at Chu Qing:
"Good boy, how did you know that?"
"Bold guesses, careful verification."
Chu Qing said:
“As I walked along the way, I saw that Luochen Villa was heavily guarded, and Manor Master Wen was a martial arts expert.
"Under these circumstances, assassinating you would be harder than ascending to heaven."
Given the alertness of Luochen Villa, even if a master on the Niejingtai's evil-killing list took action personally, he would probably return empty-handed.
Of course, facing Wen Fusheng, it is still unknown whether he can survive and return.
"That's all?"
Wen Fusheng frowned and looked at Chu Qing, obviously feeling that this statement was not enough. Chu Qing smiled:
"When the Second Master said you were seriously injured, he did not hide it.
"Right now, Luochen Villa is in troubled times. The three characters of Manor Master Wen are the golden signboard that stabilizes Luochen Villa.
"No matter how you look at it, Master Wen doesn't seem like a fool. It's obviously unreasonable for him to expose his shortcomings like this.
“If someone were to take advantage of this and want to take your life while Master Wen is seriously injured…if we are not careful, it could be a disaster of epic proportions.
"I thought about it and figured there was probably only one reason.
“That was intentional.”
When he said this, he seemed to be thirsty and walked aside to pour himself a cup of tea.
I sniffed it gently and took a sip:
“I don’t know why I did it on purpose.
"After all, I don't know yet whether Mr. Wen is a human or a ghost.
"Wenrou has faced two assassination attempts along the way. I suspect that someone in Luochen Villa wants to harm him.
"If this person is Master Wen, then it makes sense that he would deliberately spread the news of your injury to everyone.
“But later, I followed Second Master Wen to your courtyard… and discovered that Second Master Wen’s daughter, Wen Keren, was serving here.
"Your courtyard is not on guard against him. It seems that you trust this second brother very much.
"Therefore, I can't help but suspect that the reason he publicized this was because of your instruction.
“In other words, this was a deliberate setup by you two brothers.
"We staged a fake assassination, fake injury, and real fishing to get rid of those restless people with reasonable means."
Putting down the teacup, Chu Qing turned back and looked at Wen Fusheng:
"Master Wen, I would like to ask you for advice. Am I right?"
Wen Fu looked at Chu Qing deeply, and then touched Wen Rou's head:
"Rou'er, is this boy someone you trust?"
Wenrou nodded without any hesitation.
Wen Fusheng nodded and looked at Chu Qing:
"I was wondering why Xiao Rouer had to let you in...
“With you by her side, this girl doesn’t have to use her brain anymore.
"She is lazy by nature, so you can save her some trouble."
At this point, he paused:
"You are right. Luochen Villa is in an extraordinary period right now. The Tianji Order is in a state of uproar, and all kinds of monsters and demons have gathered here.
“However, after all, the Heavenly Secret Order is just a small matter.
"What really worries me is that there is a group of people whose origins are lurking around my Luochen Villa."
"Master Wen, do you know who it is?"
Wen Fusheng shook his head:
“It would be nice if I knew, these guys act very secretly and never fight me head-on.
"But I suspect...the matter of the Heavenly Secret Order was done by them."
"I heard that the Tianji Order was created because the ancestor of Luochen Villa, Wen Tianheng, saved Tianji Layman before his death?"
Wen Fusheng looked at Wen Rou with a slight hesitation, and finally nodded:
"But there is such a thing."
Chu Qing smiled:
"Thank you, Master Wen, for your trust."
Wen Fusheng has never acknowledged the Tianji Order since the news of it spread.
If Wenrou hadn't believed in Chu Qing today, he probably wouldn't have been so frank.
Wen Fusheng smiled helplessly:
"My girl believes in you, and I believe in my girl."
After a slight pause, he continued:
“However, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Secret Order is, it is of no use.
"Because no one knows where the Tianji Valley is, this order has been in my Luochen Villa for many years. I have also been searching for it for many years, but I have never found the Tianji Valley."
No one knows the location of Tianji Valley... In other words, even if you get the Tianji Order, you cannot obtain the inheritance of Tianji Jushi.
Otherwise, Luochen Villa would have emptied Tianji Valley hundreds of times over the years.
Then why would the other party use this method to stir up trouble?
Chu Qing looked up at Wen Fusheng:
"Since Master Wen said that the matter of the Heavenly Secret Order is not important, is he pretending to be stabbed in order to lure the other party into taking action?"
Wen Fusheng nodded.
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Master Wen must know himself very well, so he asserted that even if the matter of the Heavenly Secret Order became known to everyone, Luochen Mountain Villa would still be able to stand firm.
“But if what you said is true, the other party has been spying around Luochen Villa for a long time.
"I'm afraid that Master Wen's understanding of him should not be underestimated...
“So, they should also know that the Heavenly Secret Order cannot threaten Luochen Villa.
"But they chose to use this as an excuse to cause trouble... This shows that their methods are definitely not limited to the Heavenly Secret Order."
Wen Fusheng nodded slightly:
"Then what do you think they will do?"
"The Heavenly Secret Order may just be a lead... Heavenly Secret Valley, what if they know where it is?"
Chu Qing suddenly looked up at Wen Fusheng:
"What if they know where Tianji Valley is, and take advantage of this opportunity to spread the news?"
Wen Fusheng's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed for a moment:
"But how do they know where Tianji Valley is?"
"Then we need to know who they are..."
Chu Qing exhaled lightly:
"Master Wen, do you have any suspects?"
Wen Fusheng shook his head:
"It would be nice if there was one."
"...If Master Wen doesn't have it, then I have a possibility."
Chu Qing spoke softly:
"Master Wen, have you ever heard of... the Tianxie Cult?"
"Tianxie Cult!"
Wen Fusheng immediately said:
“The one that appeared in both Tianwu City and Shendao City?
"Little brother, how much do you know about this religion?"
“I don’t know too much, but from what I’ve heard, this evil cult should not be underestimated, as each of them is a master.
“And their power is enormous… their plans are also enormous.
“The two plots of Tianwu City and Shendao City were all planned by them.
"If they are determined to deal with Luochen Villa, it probably won't be difficult for them to find Tianji Valley."
Chu Qing thought for a moment and asked again:
"Why did Master Wen organize this martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"
"This……"
Wen Fusheng smiled:
"One is to give these people something to look forward to, so that they don't have to use their energy every day and cause trouble for me everywhere.
“Secondly…To be honest, my niece is in love.
"This move is also to force her and see if I can find her a suitable husband.
“Finally, give him the Heavenly Secret Order and tell everyone that the Heavenly Secret Order is in my Luochen Villa and belongs to my Luochen Villa.
"Anyone who dares to covet it should think about his own fate!"
Chu Qing was speechless. After all this time, he realized that he had over-interpreted it. In fact, Wen Fusheng's idea was very simple.
No matter how chaotic the situation is outside, I will remain calm and fearless in Luochen Villa!
Sure enough, I heard the old man speak in a cold voice:
"Luochen Villa has stood tall in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, and it cannot be damaged by a mere Tianji Order or these monsters.
"I want to use this martial arts competition to tell these people that they can neither influence my Luochen Villa nor shake me, Wen Fusheng!!"
