Chapter 131 The marriage recruitment begins
Chapter 131 The marriage recruitment begins
“Not every generation has a person with a natural scent. Since the death of our ancestor’s daughter, Xiao Rou’er is the second person with a natural scent in the past few hundred years.
“I don’t know much about our ancestors’ affairs back then… I can only guess at their thoughts from a few words in their notes, but after all, I can’t feel the pain firsthand.
“Later, because there were no more such descendants, there was no need to look for the Earth Scroll in the Unchangeable Heavenly Book.
“During the hundreds of years, naturally no one was looking for Tianji Valley.
“After Xiao Rouer was born, I didn’t notice anything unusual at first.
"But as she grew older, she gradually showed strange abilities... Then I realized that this curse had actually fallen on my daughter."
Wen Fusheng spoke slowly, word by word:
“At that time, I searched through ancient books and traveled around the world, hoping to find the whereabouts of Tianji Valley.
“But… no.
“Nothing!
"It was at that time that I met Cui Paozhao from Taiyi Sect."
"Cui Paozhao..."
Chu Qing was speechless for a moment.
"It means that the God Fist Cui is not angry."
When Wen Fusheng talked about this person, his expression was a little strange:
“The Taiyi Sect is full of weirdos, and Cui Bunu is one of them.
"He is extremely talented and a magnanimous person. He always says that he is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, and has a very good temper... That's why he is called Cui Bunu.
“But in reality, his character is as hot as fire and can be ignited at any time.
“He especially hates evil and his methods of dealing with evildoers are extremely cruel.
"During the time when he was roaming the martial arts world, the villains in the martial arts world would be frightened by his presence. If they were really blocked by him, they would rather commit suicide than be beaten to death by him.
"I have a close relationship with him and know his talent. If you ask me who in Taiyi Sect has the greatest chance of understanding the 'Boundary Between Heaven and Earth' over the years, the only person I can think of is this person.
“In the past, my grandmother lived a long life because of Grandpa Taiyi. Now the Earth Scroll is missing, and I can’t find Tianji Valley. The only thing I can hope for is that Cui Bunu can one day connect heaven and earth and comprehend the magical power of the Earth Scroll on his own.
“That’s why I reluctantly sent Xiao Rou’er to Taiyi Gate.
"She was taught by Cui Bunu and began to practice the Uneasy Heavenly Book since she was young. This has made her somewhat 'popular'.
"I also hope that God will have mercy on me and allow Cui Paozhao to connect the heaven and earth and help my son survive this fatal disaster."
Having said this, the room fell silent again.
Chu Qing said after a while:
"I'm afraid the Earth Scroll is no longer in Tianji Valley."
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Wen Fusheng's face changed drastically:
"how you said that?"
Chu Qing finally told the conversation he had with the old beggar last night, focusing on the purpose of the Heavenly Demon Clothes and the Heavenly Evil Cult.
He said nothing about the mission entrusted to him by the old beggar.
After Wen Fusheng heard this, his expression was complicated:
"Good, good, what a great lay Buddhist.
"For so many years, he actually hid the Tianji Valley under Tianxing Mountain...
"The four seasons conceal the secrets of the sky, and the changes in the valley are so subtle that people can't see them?
“Heavenly Evil Cult!
"The Earth Scroll is now in the Tianxie Cult, we just need to find them!"
As he said this, he seemed to want to stand up and go find it directly.
Chu Qing held him down:
"Master Wen... calm down."
After all, Wen Fusheng is not a rookie who has just entered the world of martial arts, he is just confused because of his concern.
Chu Qing's previous speculation actually gave him great hope.
If we could really know the location of Tianji Valley from the person behind the scenes, then there would be at least many more possibilities for finding the Di Scroll.
Now that this hope has been dashed, the thought of a gentle future has made even this well-known master of the martial arts world find it difficult to remain calm for a while.
After hearing Chu Qing's words, he took a deep breath and calmed his mind.
Then Chu Qing said softly:
“The old beggar’s identity is unknown, and it is still unknown whether what he said is true or false.
"I noticed that the gate of Tianji Valley was tightly closed, and it was unclear whether there was anyone inside.
"We still need to investigate this matter..."
"you're right!"
Wen Fusheng immediately affirmed:
"If that old beggar is deceiving us and just wants us to use the Heavenly Secret Order to open the gate so that he can profit from it... for me, it is actually a good thing.
“Now that we have found the location of Tianji Valley, we really need to start investigating it.
"It's just that my mind is a little confused now. What do you think is the right thing to do?"
“There are only two possible outcomes now.
“One is that there are hidden dangers in Tianji Valley, targeting everyone gathered in Luochen Villa.
"If that's the case, we need to first understand the situation in the valley and what methods they have prepared so that we can break through. Even if we are not completely sure, we still need to be roughly prepared.
“As long as we can figure this out, we can use the same trick to lure these people into Tianji Valley.
"First, we can let them know that the people in Tianji Valley are gone, and the danger of Tianji Order will be solved immediately. Second, we can gather strength and compete with Tianxie Cult."
Chu Qing paused and said:
"As for the second possibility, it's just like what you said, that old beggar is just lying.
"Then when we investigate, as long as there is no unusual movement in the valley, we will know whether what the old beggar said is true or false..."
"But you said the gate of Tianji Valley is closed..."
"We can send someone to keep watch. If that's the only entrance, I don't believe they can stay locked in there forever and never come out."
"Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away."
In just a few words, Wen Fusheng had already made up his mind.
Just as he was about to ask Si Ye to come in, Chu Qing said:
"There are two more things that I need to trouble Master Wen for."
"That's it."
"First thing, help me deliver a letter to Cao Qiupu, the White Horse and Golden Sword."
Chu Qing said:
"This person should not have left the territory of Luochen Villa yet. We have to find his whereabouts... based on his horse.
"And this horse should be near the wine shop in the town at the foot of the mountain. I just don't know if it has left now."
"What about the letter?"
“I haven’t written it yet…”
Wen Fusheng pointed his finger:
"The four treasures of the study are over there."
"Master, please wait a moment."
Chu Qing said as he stood up to find the four treasures of the study to write a letter.
Wen Fusheng sat on the bed and waited. After a while, Chu Qing came over with two letters in his hands.
"One letter is for Cao Qiupu, and the other one... is for Tie Lingyun."
Chu Qing handed the two letters to Wen Fusheng:
“Miss Tie has to spend some money on food and drink at Luochen Villa.
"Send the second letter to Tie Lingyun and ask him to prepare a group of people to follow your orders. This group of people can be used as a backup in case of any unexpected events.
"Once the storm at Luochen Villa has settled, this group of people will be able to escort Miss Tie back to Tiexue Hall."
Wen Fusheng grinned:
"You are such a cold-blooded guy. I heard that you saved that girl's life, don't you have any thoughts about her?"
"I already told you that I have a fiancée."
Chu Qing felt that the older generation in the martial arts world had impure minds. Instead of thinking about how to become famous in the martial arts world and invincible, they were just trying to matchmake the younger generation and become matchmakers.
"You'd better." Wen Fusheng snorted coldly.
Chu Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he continued:
“There is one last thing… Someone previously tried to assassinate Wen Rou, using the name of Nie Jing Tai. This incident alarmed the killer of Nie Jing Tai.
“They went to Luochen Villa to investigate and found out that the mastermind behind this incident is currently in Luochen Villa.
“Tie Chuqing stumbled upon this incident by accident and ended up in my hands.
"They agreed to meet again tonight at 11 pm. I plan to arrange an ambush in advance to catch the turtle in the jar and see whether the last one to come... is a human or a ghost!"
Wen Fusheng also knew about this matter, but he didn't know about the complications behind it.
Somewhat surprised, he said:
"Didn't you just come here yesterday? How do you know so much?"
"...Your Luochen Villa is in a huge mess right now."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and said:
"Yesterday, I spent the entire afternoon and half a night doing so many things that I was almost exhausted...Okay, it's almost time, don't forget what I told you to do.
"People who are following you should be careful, just watch from a distance and don't show your head. If anything goes wrong, leave immediately.
"If the opponent is really the Tianxie Cult, we will most likely die if we confront them head-on."
Wen Fusheng nodded subconsciously and agreed, then reacted:
"Good boy, you think I am your subordinate?
"Well, if what the old beggar said is true, there is no point in me continuing to pretend here, so I might as well follow him myself.
"I want to see what abilities these people have that allow them to act so recklessly under my nose."
Chu Qing nodded, wanting to complain.
If it really is the Tianxie Cult, and it has been acting under your nose for a long time.
Can you still blame others for acting recklessly when they haven’t been discovered for such a long time?
At this point, I have basically explained everything that needs to be explained.
When Chu Qing came out of Wen Fusheng's room, she saw Wen Keren sitting on a stone bench crying. Si Ye was standing behind her, like a wooden stake, motionless.
He suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a little bit why Wen Fusheng and his gang liked to act as matchmakers so much.
However, he didn't want to get involved in such a bad habit, so he came to Wen Keren and tapped the table gently:
"Second Miss, it's almost time. We should go to the martial arts arena."
Wen Keren glanced at Chu Qing, hesitating to speak, and finally took a deep breath:
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Si Ye opened his mouth but in the end, no word came out. He just turned his head silently and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Chu Qing didn’t even bother to look at him… If you can’t bear it, just say it out loud, and fight for what you want.
Why are you, grown man, hesitating and pretending to be so affectionate and reluctant?
He immediately took Wen Keren to the martial arts arena.
This place is not too far from the martial arts arena, after all, it is only two floors away.
The closer they got to the martial arts arena, the slower Wen Keren's steps became.
In the end, it seemed that they all had the urge to run away.
Chu Qing glanced at the girl and couldn't help but:
"What is your relationship with Si Ye?"
Wen Keren's hands trembled, and she shook her head subconsciously, but she bit her lip again:
"I, I like him."
"He doesn't dare?"
"Ah."
"The reason why your uncle promoted this martial arts competition to recruit a bride is not only because Luochen Villa is currently in trouble, but also to force Si Ye.
"If he couldn't let you go, how could he let you marry someone else?
"Don't you want to see if he is willing to fight for you?"
Wen Keren was stunned. She didn't expect Chu Qing to say that.
She bit her lip.
"But what if he doesn't want to?"
"Then why do you have to give your love to the wrong person?"
Wen Keren was stunned. She felt that this made sense, but she just couldn't hear it:
"I...I don't know..."
"No one can tell until the last moment, so let's wait and see."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Come on, relax."
Wen Keren glanced at Chu Qing and bowed:
"Thank you, sir."
As they were talking, the two finally arrived at the martial arts arena.
The terrain here is not small, and it is surrounded by disciples and guards of Luochen Villa, among whom are martial arts masters who come to participate in the competition to win a bride.
As soon as Chu Qing and Wen Keren arrived, they heard a voice shouting:
"Third Master, Miss Keren is here!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the field looked in the direction of Chu Qing and Wen Keren.
There was a whisper for a while.
"Third Young Master? There is another Third Young Master in Luochen Villa?"
"It can't be that person. Yesterday at the foot of the mountain, the Third Master of the Mad Blade appeared and killed several monsters from Longyang Mountain with one sword."
"Kuang Dao is so close to Luochen Villa?"
"That's Wen Keren!? What a pitiful beauty!"
"I'm determined to get this girl. If you don't want to die, you'd better not go on stage."
Everyone in the venue had different backgrounds and was talking at the same time, making it extremely noisy.
Chu Qing frowned slightly, and then he heard a gong sound.
Wen Kaiyuan held the drumstick and struck the gong standing next to him hard.
The sound of the gong suppressed the noise in the venue, and Chu Qing took a step forward:
“Without further ado, anyone who has the ability can come on stage and show off their skills.
“But remember, stop at the right time. Whoever dares to hurt others’ lives will lose their lives on this stage. Don’t blame me for not warning you!
"The competition for a bride begins now!"
He said, stretching out his arm as a gesture:
"Second Miss, please sit down and just watch."
There was a table and two chairs on the stage, one for Wen Keren and one for Chu Qing.
Wen Keren nodded and was about to sit down.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind. Chu Qing thought that someone was trying to start a discussion, but he didn't expect that after the person landed, he suddenly pointed at Chu Qing and scolded him:
"Where did this brat come from, so arrogant!?
"Is there no one left in Luochen Villa? They found a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to preside over this conference!
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Chu Qing took a look at the man, who was about thirty years old, with dark skin and rat-like eyes.
His brows furrowed slightly:
"Wen Fusheng should really add a rule that ugly people are not allowed to go on stage."
Even though he had no friendship with Wen Keren, he couldn't bear to see such a delicate girl fall into the hands of such a person.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Although the man didn't hear clearly what Chu Qing said, he knew from the look in his eyes that he had nothing good to say, and he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Are you scolding me?
"you wanna die!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and started to hit him with his palm.
Chu Qing didn't even bother to look at him, he just swung his palm back, and the high-pitched dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the venue.
Before the palm force reached his body, the man felt a gust of wind coming towards him, and he was involuntarily blown away by the wind.
And everyone present saw, vaguely, a white dragon-shaped shadow, pushing the man forward.
The crowd subconsciously parted ways, allowing the man to fly backwards for more than ten feet before he finally landed on the ground!
