Chapter 116 Hosting
Wen Fusheng's words were powerful.
His domineering attitude as the owner of Luochen Villa was also clearly displayed.
Unfortunately, his face was too pale, and he looked somewhat weak inside.
Chu Qing looked at him with a look of confusion:
"Master Wen, aren't you afraid of messing up?"
"I didn't expect that the other party might have found Tianji Valley."
Wen Fusheng's momentum was waning:
"I just don't know if things will turn out as you expected. If so... then this is an open conspiracy.
“Even if I am from Luochen Villa, even if I know there is something fishy going on, I still have to follow this group of people and go and take a look.
"After all, this is something that belongs to my Luochen Villa, how can I allow outsiders to get it?
"But is Tianji Valley really that easy to find?"
"Let's wait and see. What we are saying now is nothing more than speculation."
Chu Qing spoke softly:
"But if they can really find Tianji Valley, it means that they planned this not overnight. There may be other mysteries in Tianji Valley, and we must be on guard."
Wen Fusheng nodded repeatedly, looking at Chu Qing with a gentle look:
"you're right."
Chu Qing was very sensitive to gazes, and in an instant he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the way the old man looked at him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Master Wen...what are you going to do now?"
"How's your martial arts?"
Wen Fusheng suddenly asked.
Chu Qing thought for a moment:
"It should be fine."
"Si Ye can't stop you. Your martial arts skills are definitely better than his. However, I have to wait and see... How about this, you hit me with a palm, and let me test your strength."
Wen Fusheng slapped his chest, and perhaps he hit the wound, and his face turned pale immediately.
He really had injuries on his body... he had to act completely, but these were just superficial injuries that wouldn't take his life, nor would they affect his martial arts.
If he hadn't done it on purpose, it would have been healed in two or three days.
But it still hurts when the slap hits the wound directly.
Chu Qing looked at him with some suspicion:
"Master Wen, are you serious? Then how much help should I contribute?"
Wen Fusheng almost burst into laughter, but luckily he remembered that he was pretending to be injured, so he suppressed the laughter.
He lowered his voice and laughed:
"Boy, you look down upon Zhichen Xingluo's reputation.
“When facing a junior like you, just go for it and use all your strength!
"Let me see what you are capable of."
Before Chu Qing nodded, Wenrou gently held Wen Fusheng's hand and said expressionlessly:
"Don't seek death."
"??"
Wen Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wenrou lovingly:
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
“…I’m afraid he’ll beat you to death.”
The gentle voice was emotionless and the face was expressionless.
The sound was slow and steady, but it was very harmful.
Wen Fusheng's eyes widened, and he almost blew his beard, but he seemed to consider his daughter's debt of not being around for a long time, so he suppressed his anger, patted her head and said:
"You don't know your father yet?
"He is so young, how could he possibly hurt me? Even if he is a genius..."
"Master Wen."
Chu Qing interrupted Wen Fusheng's words, and a chill spread throughout his body.
A layer of white frost condensed on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by the teapot, teacups, windows... Wen Kaiyuan and others who had been waiting outside felt a chill for no reason.
Wen Kaiyuan subconsciously looked up at the sky:
“It hasn’t changed.”
Si Ye didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly looked into the room with some worry:
"The owner of the village!"
"Don't come in!"
Wen Fusheng's voice was heard immediately, suppressing Si Ye's restless thoughts.
Looking at Chu Qing in front of him again, he only felt that lines of energy were spreading. His fists were stained with frost and snow, and he was ready to release his strength. However, a powerful pressure suddenly burst out and increased layer by layer.
At first, Wen Fusheng was impressed that Chu Qingnian had such advanced skills despite his young age.
But soon he was surprised at how Chu Qing could have such profound inner strength and such powerful martial arts.
The further he went on, the more frightened he became.
Suddenly he thought of something and said:
“Wait, wait!!”
He quickly reached out and stopped him.
Chu Qing looked up in surprise:
"Master Wen, don't you want to experience it? I'm going all out?"
"Are you the Crazy Blade?"
Wen Fusheng looked at Chu Qing:
"The one who punched Cheng Mangzi so hard that he couldn't get up for several days?"
Cheng Mangzi, should be referring to Cheng Tieshan, right?
Chu Qing didn't know what happened to Cheng Tieshan yet, and was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Could it be that Master Wen is talking about Deputy Master Cheng of the Iron Blood Hall?
"When did I beat him so hard that he couldn't get up... He was fine when he left."
"That old thing has some shame."
Wen Fusheng had no choice but to say:
"I tried my best to stay together in front of you, but when I walked out, I collapsed.
"He stumbled miserably this time, and was nearly beaten to death...
"Tie Lingyun went to pick him up specially for this purpose, so he didn't have time to mess around in Luochen Villa."
"..."
Chu Qing thought about it and realized that he would meet Cheng Tieshan in the next two days.
He was actually assassinated?
I muttered subconsciously:
"There is a traitor in the Iron Blood Hall."
"That's for sure."
Wen Fusheng said:
“To be honest, the doorman and accountant at Cheng Tieshan’s house are actually my people.
"I've had him falsify accounts over the past few years and got a lot of money from me."
“…Can you say this directly?”
Chu Qing was dumbfounded, feeling that this topic seemed to have gone a bit far... Was he going to beat him himself?
"Is there anything you can't say?"
Wen Fusheng spoke calmly:
"It is perfectly normal for the famous forces in the martial arts world, whether they are adjacent or not, to have spies on each other.
"It's nothing more than who has a higher level of Taoism and who has stronger martial arts.
"Also, I'm telling you in secret, Cheng Mangzi can't read a single word. Even if you make false accounts for him in front of him, he won't be able to tell. He will even think that your handwriting is good.
"But this kid is so smart that I arranged for more than a dozen accountants to prepare for it. It was not until the seventh one that I gained his trust.
"Even if that's the case, you can't get too much at once. You have to accumulate little by little, over a long period of time. He has no idea about it."
"..."
What is all this mess?
Why are you so obsessed with cheating people out of their money?
And there were more than a dozen arranged in total?
It is even more insidious than the new types of business wars like watering the money tree in later generations.
Chu Qing was speechless, and looked at Wen Fusheng with a bit of disgust.
You are actually this kind of Wen Fusheng.
Wen Fusheng didn't care. He touched Wenrou's head and said:
“Cheng Tieshan would never have dreamed that the money I gave to Cui Paozhao every year was all from him.
"He spends money, and Cui Paozhao helps me raise my daughter.
"By the way, I also got the unique skills of Taiyi Sect!"
"...Master Wen, are you going to continue the fight?"
Chu Qing really couldn't bear to listen any longer. Who is this person?
Is there any good person who would do such a thing?
I used to think this guy was quite domineering, but now... he's just a petty thief.
"No fight, no fight."
Wen Fusheng waved his hand:
"When your title came to me, I thought that the fact that you beat Cheng Mangzi to a pulp with one punch was just bragging.
“Now it seems to be true.
"There's nothing to test here... By the way, how much strength did you use to beat Cheng Mangzi?"
Chu Qing lowered his head to ponder, but Wen Fusheng didn't wait for him to speak, and quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, no need to say more... I'm afraid you'll really make me suffer.
"Anyway, you didn't use your full strength, right?"
If I were to go all out, would I still have to keep my head down and think like this?
Chu Qing nodded.
"With your martial arts skills, it seems completely possible."
Wen Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said:
"Third Young Master, how about you help me host this martial arts competition to find a bride?"
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You want me to take a good look at which of these participants are suspicious?"
"Exactly!"
Wen Fusheng said in a deep voice:
"There's nothing to worry about as for the ordinary people in the martial arts world, they just come here to take advantage and join in the fun.
“What I’m really afraid of is… the Tianxie Cult you mentioned, although I’m not sure whether the Tianxie Cult is the group hiding in the dark.
“But it’s a real possibility.
“You have dealt with them before, so I will let you host this important event of the martial arts competition.
“All the manpower is at your disposal!
"It's up to you how you proceed. What do you think?"
"...Master Wen, aren't you afraid that they will be dissatisfied by doing this?"
Chu Qing rubbed his nose:
"You know, I'm just an outsider."
“Actually, this matter was originally supposed to be handed over to the second and third sons.
"The third brother is good at martial arts, and the second brother is smart.
"But now, the third brother's martial arts may not be as good as yours, and the second brother's mind may not be better than yours."
Wen Fusheng said:
"Besides, it was Rouer who brought you back. You protected her along the way, and you two trust each other.
"In this case, I am not an outsider.
“It’s most appropriate for you to do this.
“This way, the second child can stay with you, and the third child can stay with me.
“Both sides have been strengthened, so why not?
"As for whether you obey or not... With your martial arts skills and my orders, who dares not obey?"
Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou, and Wenrou blinked her eyes, but there was still no emotion in them, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
After a moment's hesitation, Chu Qing nodded and agreed.
The reason why he came here today and spoke frankly with Wen Fusheng was that he hoped to gain the trust of the owner of Wen Manor.
On the one hand, Tianji made this matter of great importance and involved the Taiyi Sect.
The second brother Chu Fan is a disciple of Taiyi Sect. He probably doesn’t have the time to get here now. So as a younger brother, it is only natural for him to help take a look at this matter.
Another reason is gentleness.
The girl helped him a lot along the way, and they established a friendship.
He had to return the favor. Now that Luochen Villa was in trouble, he naturally couldn't just ignore it.
Finally, he took this opportunity to find Ling Beichen who was mixed in the crowd.
Of course, speaking of this, he also remembered that there was something he hadn't taken advantage of.
I'll go out later and look for Hua Jinnian.
The old immortal Yulong committed many evil deeds, and countless young men and women fell into his hands.
The beautiful young men in the world have suffered from this old villain for a long time, and he cannot be allowed to live.
Wen Fusheng was overjoyed when he saw Chu Qing agreed, and immediately said:
"Second brother, Si Ye, come in!"
Wen Kaiyuan and Si Ye immediately walked in quickly.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Si Ye's face darkened. There were still traces of frost and snow around him, and the air was cold.
Wen Kaiyuan couldn't help but shudder:
"Brother, did you hide ice in your room?"
"…The ice is all in the ice room."
Wen Fusheng waved his hand:
"I plan to ask the Third Young Master to help me host the martial arts competition to find a bride. Second Young Master, you and Si Ye will help him."
Si Ye was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Wen Kaiyuan say with a smile:
"Okay! The Third Young Master is an outstanding martial artist. I will definitely do my best to help him."
Chu Qing looked at Wen Kaiyuan with some surprise, and saw that he had a smile on his face and in his eyes, without any sign of displeasure at all.
He immediately clasped his fists:
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Wen."
"Eh? Third Young Master and Rou'er are about the same age. If you don't mind, just call me Second Uncle."
Wen Kaiyuan said with a smile.
"..."
Chu Qing suddenly felt that this name was strange.
Why do I have to follow the gentle cry?
What Si Ye wanted to say was blocked in his throat by Wen Kaiyuan. When he looked at Chu Qing again, his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Although he agreed to Wen Fusheng's arrangement, he was not necessarily really convinced.
Chu Qing ignored all this and said softly:
"In that case, I will go back and rest before the martial arts competition begins. So, Master Wen, when will this martial arts competition begin?"
"Then... tomorrow?"
Wen Fusheng asked Chu Qing for his opinion.
Chu Qing felt that this old man was really casual...
But he nodded:
"Okay, then tomorrow."
After that, he said to Wen Kaiyuan:
"Master Wen, please take me back to my room."
"Okay, please come this way."
As he spoke, he bowed cheerfully to Wen Fusheng, then led Chu Qing out.
Wen Fusheng glanced at Si Ye and chuckled:
“This is your chance too.”
Si Ye's pupils shrank slightly, and then he bowed deeply:
"I dare not entertain such false thoughts."
After saying this, he stepped back and went to guard the door.
He only looked up occasionally, and when his cold eyes caught a glimpse of Wen Keren busying around in the yard, the coldness in them would melt away quietly, like spring snow meeting the scorching sun.
Wen Keren noticed his gaze and turned to look at him, but he subconsciously lowered his head, covering his eyes with coldness without revealing a trace of warmth.
Inside the room, Wen Fusheng sighed:
"The young ones are all a bit awkward.
"Xiao Rou'er, what about you? Are you feeling awkward?"
"what?"
She tilted her head and looked at her father gently.
Wen Fusheng looked at the gentle eyes, which were full of pity:
“It would be great if there really was a scroll of heavenly book with the character Earth in this Tianji Valley…”
"It's okay."
Gentlely shook her head:
“I can already laugh.”
As she spoke, she forced a rather ugly smile on her face.
Looking at the gentle smile, Wen Fusheng was also smiling, but his smile was ugly, and tears came out while he was smiling.
Gently and gently helped my father wipe away his tears:
"He taught me... I can learn it."
There was still no emotion in his words, but they seemed to have an inexplicable stubbornness.
Wen Fusheng took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
Smiling and rubbing the gentle head:
"Xiao Rou'er, come and talk to Daddy. Tell me what happened to you in Taiyi Sect in the past few years?"
