Chapter 306 Cousin! ?
Chapter 306 Cousin! ?
Chu Qing didn't expect that he would meet people from Tianyin Mansion just after stepping into Lingbei.
The three prefectures are arranged in a triangle, with Liaoyuan Prefecture first, Liexing Prefecture to the northeast, and Tianyin Prefecture to the northwest.
Xiaohan Valley is located within the territory of Liaoyuan Prefecture. Chu Qing originally wanted to deal with the matters of Xiaohan Valley first and then go to Tianyin Prefecture.
Go find someone from the Liu family...at least forward the letter that Chu Yunfei gave me to them.
I didn’t expect that the Liu family would appear here.
Of course, if you have to say, this is nothing surprising.
You can't just forbid people from traveling the world... Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh that there are so many coincidences in this world.
He raised his eyes to look at Liu Qingyan, his eyebrows slightly raised:
"A member of the Liu family? If I heard correctly, this person who secretly learned martial arts and robbed people by trickery is surnamed Su, right?"
Liu Qingyan laughed dryly:
“Indeed, she is not a disciple of my Liu family.
“However, she had no choice but to become what she is today. Senior, please consider that she did not succeed and spare her.
"I will definitely give you satisfactory compensation for this matter."
"Oh?"
Chu Qing smiled:
“What if I say no?
"Are you, the dignified Tianyin Mansion, planning to make things difficult for me?"
"Don't dare."
Liu Qingyan quickly said seriously:
"Today's matter does not involve Tianyin Mansion. If you agree, I will remember your kindness.
"If you don't want to... I can't say anything more. After all, Su is not in the right in this matter. It's only natural for you to deal with her in any way you want."
"That sounds like a human thing to say."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he let go of Su Ningzhen's hand.
Su Ning was really fierce and took two steps back. He looked at Liu Qingyan with a complicated expression and finally said with gritted teeth:
"Don't think that I will be grateful if you plead for me. I..."
As she finished speaking, there was a gust of wind, followed by a loud slap, and a big slap landed on her face from mid-air.
He whipped it and made it spin three times in the air, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
After landing, I was completely dazed.
Looking at Chu Qing's eyes again, he was angry but dared not speak.
"You still dare to look at me? I'm letting you down because of the request of this young lady from the Liu family, and I'm doing it for the sake of Tianyin Mansion.
"If you dare to offend me again, I will dig out your eyes."
Chu Qing's voice was so cold that Su Ning's heart tightened. He knew that what he said was absolutely true, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Then Chu Qing said calmly:
“If someone intercedes for you and saves you from harm, you should be grateful even if you don’t express gratitude.
"How can you take other people's kindness to you for granted?
"If you don't know how to thank her, why didn't you say anything when she asked for mercy?
"You only started to show your courage after I let you go?
"You could have just interrupted this girl from the Liu family when she started talking, and told me whether to kill her or chop her up. Why bother saying more?
"Then you are already a corpse now. All the troubles in the world are gone. Isn't that wonderful?"
Suning was really dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't dare to speak.
With Chu Qing's previous words in mind, she didn't even dare to look at Chu Qing for any longer.
But I heard Chu Qing speak with disgust:
"Why don't you get out of here? Are you getting in the way by staying here?"
Su Ningzhen bit her lip, took a deep breath, then turned around and jumped away.
Liu Qingyan watched Su Ningzhen leave, and when he disappeared from view, she bowed to Chu Qing:
"Thank you, senior."
Chu Qing looked at her and touched his chin:
"This person really wasn't very friendly to you, why did you still plead for her?
"I see that this person is not a good person. I am afraid he will harm you in the future."
Liu Qingyan was silent for a moment and sighed:
"There are many misunderstandings between her and me... It's hard to explain them in a few words.
"But she wasn't like this in the past."
As Liu Qingyan accepted Chu Qing's favor, she couldn't just leave, so she followed Chu Qing and the others back to the caravan.
As we walked, we told the true story of Suning.
It’s just that Chu Qing finds it difficult to comment on this story…
Su Ningzhen learned from the great hero Xiangshan Yunyu Sword Sang Qingchen, and Sang Qingchen was good friends with Tianyin Mansion, so Su Ningzhen had known Liu Qingyan since he was a child.
The two of them were close friends, or in today's terms, besties.
Sometimes they would learn martial arts from each other and also travel together in the martial arts world.
When the relationship is good, you want to stick with each other all the time.
It was not until Su Ningzhen's fiancé went to Xiangshanhai to meet Sang Qingchen and prepared to mention his engagement with Su Ningzhen that the relationship between the two began to change.
Su Ningzhen's fiancé is no ordinary person either. He is the son of a famous elder of the Yaotai Sect, one of the three prefectures, three gates and three sects. His name is He Qiangu.
This person has extraordinary talent and has great martial arts skills at a young age.
When he visited Sang Qingchen, Liu Qingyan was having a small gathering with Su Ningzhen in Xiangshanhai.
So the three young people met for the first time...
Liu Qingyan didn't think much of it, but as a close friend, she naturally had to help her good sister to screen and see whether He Qiangu was worthy of Su Ningzhen.
Just after meeting him for the first time, I felt that there was something wrong with He Qiangu.
The way this person speaks and does things always makes Liu Qingyan feel like she wants to avoid him as much as possible.
Later, Su Ningzhen suddenly came to Liu Qingyan angrily, saying that he regarded Liu Qingyan as a good sister, but he didn't expect that she actually fell in love with He Qiangu!
Liu Qingyan felt very wronged. She thought that she usually avoided He Qiangu as much as possible, so how could she fall in love with him?
She tried to explain, but Su Ningzhen didn't believe a word she said, and the two of them had a fight.
Liu Qingyan's martial arts has always been superior to Su Ningzhen's, so naturally Liu Ruyan won this confrontation, but this was not what she wanted, so she immediately dragged Su Ningzhen to confront He Qiangu.
However, He Qiangu unexpectedly became furious after hearing this and scolded Su Ning for being intolerant.
Moreover, he was fond of Liu Qingyan and was moved by her feelings, but he and Su Ning were already engaged, so how could he fall in love with someone else?
Liu Qingyan was almost mad at these words, and Su Ningzhen was even more furious, so he drove both of them out of Xiangshanhai.
After Liu Qingyan returned to Tianyin Mansion, the more she thought about it, the more infuriating she found this matter.
I originally wanted to go back to Xiangshanhai to find Su Ningzhen to explain everything, but at this moment, news suddenly came out that Su Ningzhen was about to get married with He Qiangu.
This made Liu Qingyan even angrier... After a long fight, nothing happened between the two of them and they were even getting married!
What was this? Just get rid of the troublesome friend and they could continue to love each other?
Liu Qingyan just felt that this was a sudden disaster and was completely inexplicable.
For a moment, he no longer had the energy to continue explaining, so he had to stay in Tianyin Mansion and swallow his anger.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.
No one expected that the accident would happen so quickly. Just when the two were about to get married, Xiangshanhai was razed to the ground overnight.
At that time, Su Ningzhen and He Qiangu were still preparing for their wedding in Yaotai Sect. However, when she returned to Xiangshanhai, what was waiting for her was a sea of blood and corpses.
It is said that there was not a single piece of good flesh on Sang Qingchen's body, and he must have been tortured before he died.
Suning really lost his mentor and all his fellow students overnight.
He Qiangu vowed to protect her all his life and help her find out the truth about the destruction of Xiangshanhai.
But unexpectedly... not long after, Liu Qingyan heard from her father that He Qiangu's father was interested in forming a marriage alliance with Tianyin Mansion, and his eyes were set on Liu Qingyan.
Liu Qingyan could no longer bear it and even wanted to rush to Yaotai Sect to kill He Qiangu.
But in the end she was stopped by her father.
It means that his family has already rejected this matter... But since the Yaotai Sect has such an idea, Liu Qingyan is obviously not their only target.
After a while, Liu Qingyan got the news of the marriage between Yaotai Sect and Liexing Mansion, and He Qiangu was engaged to a young lady from the Han family of Liexing Mansion.
He Qiangu, who vowed to protect Su Ningzhen and help her investigate the truth, drove Su Ningzhen out of Yaotai Sect.
“When I got the news, I rushed to Yaotai Sect and wanted to bring him back to Tianyin Mansion.
"But when I met Su Ningzhen...I realized that I couldn't bring her back."
Liu Qingyan sat beside the campfire and said softly:
"She suffered too many setbacks in succession, including the death of her mentor and the betrayal of her lover.
“Besides, she doesn’t believe me anymore.
“When she saw me, her face was full of vigilance… Thinking of our past friendship, I would sometimes follow her, hoping to keep an eye on her.
"But sometimes I can't take care of it. After all, I can't stay away from Tianyin Mansion forever...
"I have seen all the changes in her from the beginning to the present.
"But even I didn't expect that one day she would resort to such... such means in order to secretly learn martial arts."
Chu Qing and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. The first half of the story was too melodramatic and Chu Qing and the others were a little displeased with it.
In the second half, however, Xiangshanhai was destroyed overnight, and this incident caught Chu Qing's attention.
He paused for a moment:
"What secrets are there in Xiangshanhai?"
"I don't know that."
Liu Qingyan shook her head:
"But Su Ningzhen has been investigating this matter. I was in Tianyin Mansion not long ago. This time, I heard that Su Ningzhen's investigation had yielded some results. That's why I rushed over because I was worried that something might happen to her."
"I see."
Chu Qing nodded.
Liu Qingyan then cast her gaze on Chu Qing and the others, and said with a smile:
"Come to think of it, you have only listened to me, but I haven't asked you how to address me, Senior?"
Chu Qing had a strange expression on his face, and after thinking for a while he asked:
"I wonder how to address the young lady and Liu Zhaonian?"
"It's my father."
Liu Qingyan was immediately delighted:
"Could it be that the senior is acquainted with my father?"
"This……"
Chu Qing was choked for a moment...
His mother's name is Liu Zhaohua, and Liu Zhaonian is his uncle.
Liu Qingyan is Liu Zhaonian's daughter... She is my cousin...
Chu Qing scratched his head and asked again:
"Excuse me, how old are you this year, young lady?"
Liu Qingyan was stunned, feeling that the question was indeed a bit presumptuous, but the other party was a senior in the martial arts world, and although he looked young, Liu Qingyan believed it without a doubt.
Just because his martial arts skills are so high.
It’s not that Liu Qingyan is belittling herself. She thinks that she and Su Ning’s martial arts skills are definitely among the best among the younger generation.
But in front of Chu Qing, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Such a person must have profound inner strength and the ability to maintain his youth. He looks young, but in fact, I don’t know if he is in his sixties or seventies, or seventy or eighty years old...
And being asked about your age by such a senior doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Then he smiled and said:
"To answer your question, I am 23 years old this year."
"Twenty-three years old... and still not married?"
Chu Qing blurted out subconsciously.
Liu Qingyan blushed. It was indeed a bit late not to get married at this age.
But she still said seriously:
"Marriage cannot be forced. I have already vowed that if I cannot meet someone who understands me in this life, I would rather live alone until the end of my life."
"..."
Chu Qing pinched his eyebrows:
"Don't call me senior."
"...Senior, why are you just like my father? You get angry when I talk about my life-long event?"
Liu Qingyan was even more helpless. Recently, she didn't want to go back to Tianyin Mansion.
Liu Zhaonian urged her to get married every day. Every time he went back, he would let her look at a large number of portraits of young men from aristocratic families and let her choose from them.
And those young masters from aristocratic families also came to propose marriage. As long as Liu Qingyan nodded, they could be sent to the bridal chamber tomorrow.
But Liu Qingyan looked down on all of them... Liu Zhaonian was so angry that he said:
"Don't call me dad anymore!"
Today, there is another "Don't call me senior" message.
Why do these older people all look the same?
Chu Qing was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"That's not what I meant. It's just that you and I are of similar age, and you are a few years older than me. I really don't deserve to be called a senior."
"What?"
Liu Qingyan was stunned, then stood up suddenly:
"What do you say?"
"I just turned twenty this year."
Chu Qing looked up at Liu Qingyan:
"So if you think about it, I still have to call you sister..."
This is my real cousin, so it’s natural for me to call her sister.
"I don't dare!"
Liu Qingyan waved her hands quickly, but when she looked at Chu Qing again, her eyes were filled with disbelief:
"You said you just turned twenty this year?"
"His birthday hasn't even come yet. He's not even twenty yet."
Wu Qianhuan interrupted.
Liu Qingyan took a deep breath, and then felt completely dejected.
She originally thought Chu Qing should be an old senior in his seventies or eighties, but he looked young because of his inner strength and anti-aging skills.
As a result, she doesn't just look young, she is really young.
A young man who is not even twenty years old...his martial arts skills are far better than mine.
This... Is this going to allow people to survive?!
Wu Qianhuan looked at Liu Qingyan and could somewhat empathize with her.
He sighed and said:
"Isn't it incredible? I feel the same way... But you'll get used to it."
Liu Qingyan suddenly reacted and looked at Wu Qianhuan:
"Are you a woman?"
"Me too."
Wenrou raised her hand beside her.
When Liu Qingyan looked at Chu Qing again, her eyes were somewhat strange.
