Chapter 117 Where in life do we not meet each other
Chapter 117 Where in life do we not meet each other
Wen Kaiyuan led Chu Qing through Luochen Villa.
As they walked, he gave Chu Qing a detailed introduction to the area and situation of Luochen Villa.
The previous introduction was just an overview, but this time it is very detailed:
“The entire villa is based on the mountain, with a total of seven floors.
"The bottom three floors are where the disciples live, the martial arts arena, the martial arts teaching hall, the law enforcement hall, and the guest rooms.
"On both sides of the middle level are the Wen family's side branches and core disciples.
“The core is where the owner of the house lives.
“The last three floors correspond to the library, the residence of the Wen family’s direct descendants, and the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Wen family.
"The patrol team is composed of disciples from Luochen Villa, five people in a team, and twenty-five people in a group. Each group patrols in a staggered manner.
“However, the patriarch’s residence is of utmost importance, and the ones guarding it are the Star Guards.
“The Xingchen Guards are directly under the manor owner, led by Si Ye and Si Chen.
"You've met Si Ye, while Si Chen went out with the third brother to settle the matter.
“One of them is black and the other is white. In terms of martial arts, Si Ye should be more advanced...but Si Chen is also very good.
“They are all the big brother’s right-hand men.
"If you need the defense map, I'll send it to you later."
Chu Qing nodded as he listened, then asked:
"Thank you, Master Wen."
Wen Kaiyuan smiled and shook his head:
"You're welcome. The owner of the manor trusts the Third Young Master, and I believe in him too."
"…I am truly flattered."
Although Chu Qing had come all the way here with Wen Rou, it was still unexpected that the Wen family trusted her so much.
Wen Kaiyuan looked at Chu Qing and said with a smile:
"If Rouer believes you, all of us will believe you."
At this point, he paused slightly:
“Besides, since we have to act together for the next period of time.
"Then there are some things that should be made clear to the Third Young Master."
"Master Wen, just say it."
Wen Kaiyuan smiled and nodded:
"There is no conflict between the three of us brothers. My eldest brother has the highest talent and the highest martial arts skills. He is a rare genius.
“My third brother and I have admired him since we were young, and we have no objection to him becoming the owner of the manor.
“Compared to him, I am far behind. I don’t have a good talent for martial arts, and my martial arts skills are mediocre… I’m not afraid of being laughed at by the Third Young Master, but I can’t even beat Si Ye.
"Fortunately, I am open-minded. Since I am not cut out for it, I won't fight for it.
"What's more, my elder brother has established the prestige of Luochen Villa. As his younger brother, I can follow him to eat and drink for free. I have money and free time. Why not do it?
"To be honest, the life I lived in the past 20 to 30 years can hardly be described as carefree.
"It was because my eldest brother saw that I was getting older and older that he forced me to get married... and had children. That's when I said goodbye to my carefree and unrestrained life."
Chu Qing looked at his big belly and couldn't imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
"Don't look at me like this now, I was also a handsome man in my past!"
Wen Kaiyuan patted his belly and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, my married life is pretty good. I've gradually settled down and helped my eldest brother deal with the daily affairs of the villa. I'm like a general manager in Luochen Villa.
“As for my third brother, his martial arts talent is better than mine, but his brain is a little slow.
“If he doesn’t figure out the accounts, and lets him wander around, he might get cheated.
“So he is considered the top thug in the village. When the eldest brother is not convenient to do something, he lets the third brother do it.
"Si Chen stayed with Lao San for 359 out of 360 days in a year... He didn't do it to help, but because he was worried that Lao San would be cheated away by someone.
“That’s probably the situation. I know you’re wary of me because of Rou’er’s incident.
"I hope these words can help you let down your guard a little. When you need me, you can feel free to come to me."
Wen Fusheng said that Wen Kaiyuan was active in mind, and now it seems to be true.
He really saw that he was wary of him.
Chu Qing clasped his hands together:
"Thank you, Master Wen, for your frankness."
"It should."
He said as he stopped in front of a courtyard gate:
"Young Master, please rest here tonight. Rou'er's yard is next to it."
"what?"
Chu Qing was stunned:
"Is this convenient?"
When you are away from home, the conditions are limited, so you should try to save as much as possible on some rules and regulations. People in the world don't care about trivial matters.
But now that they have arrived at Luochen Villa, as an unmarried man or woman, they have to consider the reputation of the girl's family.
"Luochen Villa is in trouble right now. The Third Young Master is very skilled in martial arts, and Rou'er has great trust in you. With you here, she can take care of him."
Wen Kaiyuan smiled and said:
"Nothing inconvenient."
"it is good."
Chu Qing nodded:
"But in this case, I have to trouble Master Wen again to take me to Hua Jinnian's residence. I want to talk to them about something."
"I see."
Wen Kaiyuan did not refuse and took Chu Qing to the border town where Hua Jinnian and others lived.
Along the way, the two chatted casually and their relationship improved a lot.
Wen Kaiyuan is an extrovert and does not have the airs of an elder. He can easily win the favor of others with just a few words.
As the two chatted, Chu Qing suddenly remembered something:
"Speaking of which, why did Wenrou choose to become a disciple of Taiyi Sect?"
In the past, the Taiyi Sect, which had the Taiyi Patriarch, was definitely one of the most powerful forces in the world.
But the Taiyi Sect today is far from being comparable to what it was in the past.
On the contrary, Luochen Villa has always been one of the major forces in Nanling, both in the past and now.
The eldest daughter of Luochen Villa chose to become a disciple of Taiyi Sect. This matter... Chu Qing had not given much thought to it in the past, but now he feels that something seems to be wrong.
Wen Kaiyuan paused when he heard this, then chuckled:
"I can't tell you this. It has nothing to do with trust. Please forgive me, Third Young Master."
Chu Qing looked at Wen Kaiyuan thoughtfully and nodded;
"Okay, then I won't ask any more questions."
“Third Young Master, you can go to all seven floors of Luochen Villa, including the forbidden area in the back mountain.
“If you need anything, you can send someone to come find me.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have other things to deal with. Please do as you please, Third Young Master."
When Wen Kaiyuan said this, the two men were already standing at the gate of the courtyard where they were previously in the border town.
Chu Qing nodded and told Wen Kaiyuan to do as he pleased, then he pushed the door and walked into the yard.
The trust that everyone in Luochen Villa has in me is simply because they believe in me?
Chu Qing was not sure, but no matter what, the reason must be Wenrou's.
As for the reason why Wenrou became Taiyi Men's disciple.
Chu Qing thought about it and felt that apart from the three volumes of the Unchangeable Heavenly Book, there was nothing in the Taiyi Sect that was worthy of Luochen Villa's coveting.
But if this is the case, the attraction of Tianji Order and Tianji Valley to Wen Fusheng will be much greater than expected. "It seems that this matter must be prevented."
Chu Qing muttered something in his heart, and then he heard Bian Cheng ask:
"What are you on guard against?"
"Beware of the cunning people who may plot against you."
Chu Qing asked casually:
"Where's Hua Jinnian?"
……
……
Since coming out of the yard, Chu Qing's system has had an additional commission.
The commission to assassinate the Jade Dragon Immortal.
The reward he negotiated with Hua Jinnian was to ask him to help him do three things.
Of course, compensation has never been very important to Chu Qing.
But since he had this thing, Chu Qing was not reluctant to let him do something... Therefore, the first thing he arranged for him to do was to protect Xu Mao.
Before Chu Qing finds Ling Beichen and rescues his sister, he must be protected.
Hua Jinnian readily agreed.
Protecting an ordinary person can solve a big problem, so why not do it?
Chu Qing told Biancheng about the general circumstances of his meeting with Wen Fusheng, eliminating many of the speculations and mainly saying that he would help Wen Fusheng host the martial arts competition to win a bride for Wen Keren.
Bian Cheng was stunned by what he heard and felt a little depressed at last, because he was obviously the gentle senior brother.
Grew up with Wen Rou...why does Wen Fusheng think so highly of Chu Qing?
Before Chu Qing could answer, Mo Duxing spoke first:
"Maybe it's the face."
This sentence left Biancheng speechless, and he squatted aside angrily.
The courtyard where Biancheng and his friends lived was just on the third floor below Luochen Villa. After bidding them farewell, Chu Qing casually strolled around Luochen Villa.
No one knew how Wen Fusheng's order was issued, so that in such a short period of time, it seemed that all the disciples of Luochen Villa had already known Chu Qing, and wherever he went, there were disciples bowing to him.
Most of these people looked at Chu Qing with curiosity.
No one was stupid enough to come and test their skills with Chu Qing.
Among the lower three floors, there are many people from the martial arts world who come to Luochen Villa from all directions, but because they are afraid of the reputation of Luochen Villa, no one dares to act recklessly.
Chu Qing walked and looked, but didn't find anyone who looked like Ling Beichen.
Even though the people who killed Jade Dragon Immortal were at the foot of the mountain, Jade Dragon Immortal was not in a hurry to jump out and cause trouble.
I thought it was nothing and I could turn around and go back.
Then two disciples from Luochen Villa came rushing over:
"Third Master, someone is causing trouble."
Chu Qing blinked his eyes and thought that this thing just couldn't stand being reminded. Once you say it's okay, something bad will definitely happen.
He immediately waved his hand:
"Lead the way."
Since I promised Wen Fusheng, I have to do what I should do.
As to whether there was really someone causing trouble, or the disciples of Luochen Villa wanted to test the ability of an outsider like me... I'll know after I get there.
The two disciples looked at each other and led the way.
After walking for a while, I found a small courtyard in front of me that was crowded with people.
There were people gathered inside and outside watching the fun, and the sound of fighting could be heard from the middle.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
When several disciples from Luochen Villa saw Chu Qing coming, they quickly made way.
Following them, he squeezed into the crowd.
I saw a young man in brocade clothes lying on the ground in the open space in the yard, fighting with three people.
This man was extremely skillful, with one hand behind his back, and the other hand either a palm or a claw, pushing and grabbing from time to time. It was clearly a one on three situation, but he beat the three men so badly that they could only defend themselves and had no power to fight back.
Chu Qing looked at him with his arms folded in surprise:
"What a brilliant martial arts skill... Do you know the origin of this man in brocade clothes?"
The two disciples from Luochen Villa beside him shook their heads, indicating that they were not sure.
One person said:
"There are so many people coming to the village recently. Many of them either hide their real names or disguise themselves... It's really hard to tell them apart."
As Chu Qing nodded, he saw the young man in brocade clothes raise his hand to knock away the single sword of the person opposite him, and then he put one palm directly into the center of the body and landed the other palm between the chest and abdomen.
A muffled sound was heard, and the man took three or five steps back, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
At the same time, two people attacked from behind.
The man in brocade clothes seemed to have predicted the future. His feet seemed to have taken root. He spun around and kicked two men at once.
The two men tried to block it, but the kick was too powerful.
He kicked two figures backwards at the same time, and they fell to the ground with two thuds.
One of them was trying to get up, but a foot was already on his chest. The man in brocade clothes stepped on his chest and sneered, saying:
"With your kind of people, you dare to act so presumptuously in front of me... this young master?
"Do you still want to find that girl and have a good chat with you?"
Chu Qing heard that his pause was a little strange, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly laughed:
"It turned out to be a girl..."
Although there are no pierced ears, there is no Adam's apple on the neck.
But perhaps because he doesn't have the capital of being gentle, his chest muscles are not very developed.
This look might be a bit rude, Chu Qing wanted to take a quick glance and then look away, but he didn't expect that this person seemed to be quite sensitive to his gaze.
Without waiting for Chu Qing to look away, he had already followed his gaze and found him.
"What are you looking at?"
The man in brocade clothes disguised as a man shouted arrogantly.
Chu Qing shook his head:
"You are causing trouble at Luochen Villa, and there are so many people around watching, but I can't watch?"
The girl in brocade clothes frowned slightly, she felt that Chu Qing's eyes seemed a little presumptuous, but thinking about her current outfit, it seemed unreasonable to blame Chu Qing for anything.
Then he snorted:
"Are you from Luochen Villa?"
She saw two disciples from Luochen Villa following Chu Qing.
"That's it for now."
Chu Qing nodded:
"I wonder what happened here? What made you so angry?"
The girl in brocade clothes didn't realize there was anything wrong with Chu Qing's words, so she pointed in a direction among the crowd:
"You ask her, these scums saw that the girl was pretty and came forward to tease her.
"The girl doesn't want to pay attention to them, but they still force her! This is really unreasonable!
"Don't think that women are easy to bully... It's the same with your Luochen Villa. You let all kinds of thieves in there.
"Are you not afraid of dirtying the place?"
Chu Qing looked in the direction pointed by the girl in brocade clothes and met someone's eyes.
The moment he saw this person, Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Summer night cream?
At this moment, Xia Wanshuang looked at Chu Qing with inquiring eyes.
She had never seen Chu Qing's true face, but she felt that the voice of this person from Luochen Villa was somewhat similar to that of that bastard Ye Di who had made her wait in the inn for several days.
