Chapter 153 Departure

Chapter 153 Departure
When asking Chu Fan, it wasn't really that he expected him to go on stage to find a wife, but he just mentioned it casually.

Now it seems that I have to consider the candidate for my second brother's future wife, lest this guy really finds a weird woman to marry.

"I should add a few more words to the letter later, so that Chu Tian and the others can take care of it..."

Just as I was thinking about it, I caught a glimpse of another person on the stage.

Night watchman.

Wen Keren stood up suddenly, but Wen Fusheng still looked shrewd and was completely unmoved.

Chu Qing curled his lips, feeling that the mystery must have come out after meeting Sang Qing yesterday.

I don’t know what Wen Fusheng and Si Ye talked about, but this kid finally figured it out.

"Let's go, there's no more show to watch."

Chu Qing shook his head and led Chu Fan away.

Chu Fan wondered:

"Isn't this still settled?"

"What Wen Fusheng wanted was just Si Ye's attitude. Now that he has shown his attitude and made up his mind.

“No matter how good his martial arts skills are, no one can defeat him in today’s martial arts competition.

"Even if there is...it has to be gone."

With Wen Fusheng's martial arts skills, it would be too easy for him to help Si Ye cheat.

He also guessed that even if Gongsun Wu really won in the end, he would never marry his niece to him.

As for how they would be involved later, Chu Qing had no idea.

Anyway, the martial arts competition to win a bride was Wen Fusheng's plan to kill two birds with one stone. Now that the goal has been achieved, everything can be said to be settled.

Chu Fan didn't know the twists and turns in this, but since Chu Qing said so, he just listened.

The facts were indeed as Chu Qing expected.

This martial arts competition for a bride ended with Si Ye's victory, which was a happy ending for everyone.

At this point, all the excitement in Luochen Villa came to an end, and all the masters said goodbye one after another.

During this time, Xia Wanshuang came to see Chu Qing, and Chu Qing wrote her a "letter of introduction". She took the "start-up capital" given to her by Chu Qing and set off for Shendao City.

This is the end of the issue regarding this girl.

Two days later, Hua Jinnian said goodbye and left first... He didn't get any benefit from the Tianji Order incident, and he had a fight for no apparent reason. Now there was nothing exciting to see in Luochen Villa, so he simply left and continued to wander around the world.

Secondly, Bian Cheng, Mo Duxing and Chu Fan said goodbye together. They were going back to Taiyi Sect to report the matter of Tianji Valley to their master.

Logically speaking, Wenrou should also go back with them.

But Wenrou was originally called back by Wen Fusheng. It was too inhumane for her to leave after staying at home for only two days.

Just let Wenrou stay and accompany Wen Fusheng for a few more days, and then choose a day to return to the sect.

As the people from Luochen Villa gradually dispersed, Chu Qing also prepared to say goodbye and leave.

After finding Wen Fusheng and explaining his intention, Wen Fusheng did not keep him, but just said to Chu Qing:

"You must keep the matter of Xiaohan Valley in mind."

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"Master Wen, you are right. I am very busy. If I am on my way, I will definitely go there to discuss the affairs of Xiaohan Valley."

Wen Fusheng was stunned. This was different from what we had agreed.

He glared at Chu Qing:

"What do you mean?"

Chu Qing rubbed his hands:

"This useless thing always makes people forget it..."

"So what benefit do you want?"

Wen Fusheng almost laughed out of anger.

"As for money, I have no shortage of it, but I think Master Wen's martial arts, the Soul-piercing Finger, is pretty good. Why don't you teach it to me?"

Chu Qing winked at him.

Wen Fusheng laughed:
"Okay, okay, so you're interested in the Soul-piercing Finger.

"This is simple..."

"You agreed?"

Chu Qing was stunned, feeling that this old man was too happy.

Then I heard Wen Fusheng say:
"I agree, of course I agree! All you have to do is marry Rou'er, and I will teach you all my martial arts!"

"...Aren't you still not agreeing?"

"nonsense!"

Wen Fusheng said angrily:

"The Soul-piercing Finger is a secret of our Luochen Villa and has never been leaked to others.

“Unless you become a member of my Luochen Villa, how can I teach you this kind of martial arts?
"If you don't want to marry me, then change the conditions!"

"How stingy..."

Chu Qing curled his lips:

"If that's the case, then we can change the conditions."

"What conditions?"

“I want to open a store within the sphere of influence of your Luochen Villa.

"I will let your people run the store for the time being. I will have someone take over once I find a suitable candidate."

"That's it?"

Wen Fusheng frowned slightly, and then said:
"You're opening a shop in a fake way... you actually have other intentions, right?"

"Why do you care what I'm planning? Anyway, I'm not planning on taking over your Luochen Villa. Just tell me whether you agree or not."

Chu Qing held the teacup and glanced at the tea leaves in it, his tone somewhat nonchalant.

"Well, it's just a small matter."

Wen Fusheng nodded in agreement.

"That's it..."

After Chu Qing drank a sip of tea, he stood up:
"I'll be leaving soon. No need to see me off. Let's say goodbye now."

Wen Fusheng snorted:
"Don't be so conceited, I'm going to give it to you."

When he finished speaking, Chu Qing had already walked out of the door.

He didn't have much stuff, except for some clothes and dry food, and mainly Ling Beichen's ashes needed to be carefully cared for.

After packing everything, I prepared to leave with my bag on my back.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of people standing outside.

Wen Kaiyuan, Wen Pingce, Si Ye Si Chen Wen Keren... and a group of disciples from Luochen Villa who came to see them off spontaneously.

Chu Qing's eyes turned among the crowd, and then he heard Wen Kaiyuan say:
"This is really unkind of the Third Young Master. He is leaving without even telling us?"

"Hahaha."

Chu Qing smiled:
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Now that the matter here is settled, it would be unkind to continue eating and drinking here for free.

"I have already informed Master Wen before, so I don't want to alarm everyone."

Si Ye no longer had the aloof look he had when they first met, and said softly:

“Although we were together for a short time, the Third Young Master has been so kind to my Luochen Villa that I cannot repay him.

"The world is full of dangers. I hope you will be more careful. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can turn them into blessings."

"Have a heart."

Chu Qing clasped his fists and glanced at Wen Keren who was standing next to Si Ye.

The matter between the two has not been settled yet. I don’t know if there will be twists and turns in the future. At least from the current perspective, it is pretty good.

Wen Pingce also wanted to pull Chu Qing to become sworn brothers with him before he left.

Finally, he was persuaded by Wen Kaiyuan.

The group escorted Chu Qing all the way to the gate of Luochen Villa and said goodbye in front of Zhaixing Lake.

Some people brought silver bills, and some people sent dry food...

Chu Qing took the things one by one, clasped his fists and said:
"Well, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must finally say goodbye. Everyone, we'll see you later!"

"Take care on your journey, Third Young Master!"

"Third Master, remember to come back often."

"Next time my dear brother comes, you must become my sworn brother!"

Waving goodbye to everyone, Chu Qing turned around, his body was like flying smoke, and he ran away in the distance in a blink of an eye.

Wen Kaiyuan and the others watched Chu Qing disappear before turning around and walking towards Luochen Villa.

Wen Pingce looked around and asked curiously:

"Why didn't Rouer come?"

Wen Kaiyuan smiled:

"Don't worry about it. I'll go find my brother first."

He entered Luochen Villa first and went straight to Wen Fusheng's yard.

Wen Fusheng was sitting in front of the window drinking tea at this time. Withered yellow leaves filled the sky and scattered onto the windowsill. He held them in his hands and carefully observed the patterns on them.

Wen Kaiyuan stepped into the room at this time, and Wen Fusheng asked softly:
"gone?"

"Ah."

Wen Kaiyuan nodded, but hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hesitate."

"…Just let Rou'er go with you?"

Wen Kaiyuan said with some entanglement:

“After all, the man and woman are unmarried. Although the Third Young Master is a martial arts master, he is an upright person and would not deceive people in secret.

"But they are young men and women after all...living together day and night for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some problems."

"It's okay if you have it."

Wen Fusheng snorted:
"Nowadays, I am either worried about having it or not having it!"

"..."

Wen Kaiyuan widened his eyes. What was he worried about?

That's your own daughter!
You just let the bad boy take it away, and you seem quite proud of it?

Wen Fusheng curled his lips. Some things are hard to say...

The key point is that the boy is so ruthless. He promised to go to Xiaohan Valley, but who knows whether he will go in the end?

Because of the Ghost Emperor's ban, he could not leave Luochen Villa.

If that kid pretends to obey but actually disobeys, where can I find him later?

Instead of worrying here, it would be better to let his daughter go with him... Seeing a lively little beauty by his side every day would remind him all the time that he must go to Xiaohan Valley.

It would be even more exciting if something could happen.

A young master who is willing to help Luochen Villa and the enemy Tianxie Cult just by relying on his friendship with Wenrou.

No matter how you look at your own daughter, you will never lose out!
Moreover, once the relationship is confirmed, I don’t believe he will just stand by and watch you die!
Wen Fusheng is a shrewd man and will not do business at a loss. It's a pity that he cannot say these things to Wen Kaiyuan.

Wen Kaiyuan was still wondering if his elder brother's brain had been damaged by the evil thieves of the Tianxie Cult...

……

……

Chu Qing left Luochen Villa and headed north.

After walking about twenty miles, we sat on a big rock by the roadside to rest.

Occasionally he would take out some food from his bag and eat it with water.

After waiting for a while, he saw that the thief hiding in the dark had not come out yet, so he smiled helplessly:
"If you don't come out, I'll leave."

Wenrou carried her small bag and walked slowly from the edge of the woods. She came to Chu Qing and looked at him with her big eyes without blinking:
"How did you know it was me who followed you?"

She didn't think she could hide what happened with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was such a skilled martial artist, how could he not know that someone was following him?
But why are you so sure it's you?

“They all came to see me off, but you didn’t come… You must have a bigger plan.

“Since leaving Luochen Villa, someone has been following us.

"Even if I use Qinggong to shake it off and erase my own traces, I can still catch up...Apart from you, who else has such ability?"

Chu Qing reached out and tapped Wenrou's brow:
"Why are you following me instead of staying at home and spending more time with your father?
"What I am about to do is quite dangerous..."

"When traveling in the martial arts world, how can there be peace and safety, and everything goes smoothly?"

Gentle and soft voice said:

"Besides, it was Dad who asked me to follow."

"…Your father has a very bad heart."

"Ah."

Gentle nod:

"Third brother is right."

"..."

Chu Qing looked at the leaky little cotton jacket and didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

But to be honest, although we haven't been together for too long, I am still reluctant to separate suddenly.

Not to mention that this girl Wenrou has a very pleasant temperament, the most important thing is that she is also very useful.

It's like a human radar...

She had thought that after leaving Luochen Villa, she would stay in the villa to accompany Wen Fusheng.

Even though Chu Qing was reluctant to let Tian Xiangxiu's body go, he couldn't let the father and daughter be separated.

Now that she has chosen to follow me, there is no need to send her back.

As for what Wen Fusheng was thinking, Chu Qing could probably guess it.

Just looking at Wenrou, Chu Qing smacked his lips:
"Your father is really willing to..."

"Why are you reluctant?"

Wenrou tilted her head and looked at Chu Qing.

"……never mind."

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"Now that we're here, shall we go?"

"Ah."

The two of them set off immediately, packed their bags and continued heading north.

They are not in a hurry now. Even if Chu Qing wants to deal with the Evil Mirror Platform, he needs a suitable opportunity. There is no need to rush.

So we walked and saw as we went, letting our horses run free, and it took us two full days before we finally left the territory of Luochen Villa.

At this point, we have officially entered the Iron Blood Hall's sphere of influence. Not far ahead is a small town.

The name of the town is Tiehuan Town.

Chu Qing and Wenrou did not follow the normal route, otherwise the closest place to Luochen Villa should be Dingxing City.

The reason why Tie Lingyun was able to rush to Tianxing Mountain in the middle of the night was because they were in Dingxing City at that time.

Dingxing City was not originally called Dingxing City. It was only named Dingxing City after the influence of Tiexuetang took over. Tie Lingyun’s main goal is... If I can’t take you down, I will disgust you.

The name has a very strong connotation towards Tianxing Mountain.

But Wenrou didn't feel like she was being targeted. Instead, she was interested in everything she saw.

Finally, I simply booked two rooms in the inn in Tiehuan Town and prepared to rest here for one night.

During dinner, Chu Qing saw Wenrou playing with a money bag.

Somewhat puzzled:

"Where did you get this purse?"

Judging from the color, it’s not the kind that Wenrou would like.

Wenrou handed it to Chu Qing:
"I found it earlier... I haven't found the owner yet."

Chu Qing took it and was about to speak when he heard a series of footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw a group of people entering the inn.

The leader looked to be in his fifties. Although his expression was calm, one could still see a sense of hostility between his brows.

The people behind him were all dressed up, looking like they were wandering around doing business...but most of them had fat faces and didn't look like good people.

Although Chu Qing asked himself that he shouldn't judge people by their appearance, looking at this group of people, he felt that it would be unworthy of their dignity if he didn't judge them by their appearance.

It wasn't just Chu Qing. Many people in the inn looked at the group with vigilance, then quickly lowered their heads to eat and drink.

"Huh? Why are there a group of bandits coming to the Iron Blood Hall's territory?"

A voice suddenly came from the corner. Chu Qing couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and saw a down-and-out scholar in his thirties, staring at the door with a puzzled look on his face.
