Chapter 143 - 104: Yulong Immortal (Part 2)
In this era, there is no weather forecast, and Chu Qing could hardly foresee it.
The conversation was interrupted, causing Bian City inside the house to frown slightly.
Why did they only say these two sentences?
Initially, I thought Gentle could get married... Now it seems these two don’t have much to say to each other. The journey of my junior sister to marriage is still long and arduous.
"What are you looking at?"
Mo Duxing cast a cold glance at Bian City.
"You wouldn’t understand."
Bian City shook his head:
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
"Pretending to be mysterious, startling people without warning."
Mo Duxing grudgingly threw the words Bian City had just said back at him.
Bian City was nonchalant and closed his eyes to sleep...
Mo Duxing, however, was somewhat restless, feeling that lying down to rest like this was out of character for him.
As a swordsman, he shouldn’t be this casual either.
So he simply sat cross-legged, with his sword across his lap, and slowly closed his eyes.
After a short while, snoring could be heard from his mouth and nose, and his head drooped down...
Gentle suddenly asked Chu Qing:
"Third Brother."
"Hmm?"
"When I was being chased by that penniless person, it was you who saved me, right?"
Gentle looked up at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing touched his face and then nodded.
Gentle gently pulled the corner of her mouth and revealed a smile:
"Thank you."
"...Just happened to be there, don’t mention it, and you already thanked me then."
Chu Qing felt much more comfortable with Gentle’s smile now, at least without having to see her wisdom teeth.
"Third Brother, why don’t you teach me a bit more..."
Gentle spoke again.
Chu Qing was momentarily confused:
"What?"
"It’s... expressions."
Gentle said:
"To convey your emotions..."
Chu Qing shrank his neck. Teaching Gentle a smile made him regret it for a long time.
To teach more of it... such a pretty face, it can’t withstand such ruin.
Just about to say he’d teach more later, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance at the darkness.
Gentle also moved her nose:
"Someone’s coming, more than one, the scent is quite muddled..."
Chu Qing nodded:
"Wake up Brother Bian as a precaution."
"Okay."
Gentle agreed and turned to go inside.
Just as Gentle reached out to push Bian City, a figure broke through the curtain of rain. That person stepped on the treetops for leverage and, in a flash, fell onto the roof of the dilapidated house where Chu Qing and the others stood.
Peeking down to look at Chu Qing, Chu Qing was also craning his neck to meet this person’s gaze.
This person clasped his fists:
"Sorry to disturb you."
Before Chu Qing could respond, a glint of cold light split the raindrops and went straight for this person’s forehead.
That person slightly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the hidden weapon, and one hand had already reached the front.
The attacker’s claw was menacing, fierce, and ruthless.
Seeing that the man in white shook his hand, there was already a folding fan in his palm, he lightly flicked the fan.
The fan actually emitted a sharp sword-like sound.
The attacker’s face changed, not daring to exert his full strength, and just as he was about to retreat, a whoosh was heard.
Originally just a sliver of sword aura, as the fan opened, it instantly spread.
Suddenly there was no way left or right, no escape above or below.
A thud was heard, and the attacker flew backward, knocked down from the roof by the man in white.
He instinctively reached out to clutch his chest, but the wound on his chest was too deep to cover, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.
But at the next moment, several figures emerged from the darkness.
A total of sixteen people in all.
All sixteen were men, but they were dressed entirely in pink clothing.
They looked... rather peculiar.
The man in white frowned slightly at them:
"Truly unrelenting..."
"Since our venerable wants the young master, we ask the young master not to struggle.
"Come back with us to report, staying by the venerable’s side will be much better than wandering the martial world, won’t it?"
A man in pink emerged from the crowd, his smile just right.
Yet Chu Qing felt this smile seemed somewhat familiar...
In a flash, he recalled.
Last night at the Celestial Fragrance Tower, many of the ladies smiled just like this.
But seeing that smile on a man felt quite out of place.
Upon hearing this, the man in white suddenly turned pale with iron-green:
"You must be courting death!"
With those words, he leaped off the roof, shaking his folding fan, and charged into the sixteen men in pink.
At this moment, Bian City rubbed his eyes, sat beside Chu Qing, and looked up in amazement:
"Didn’t hear about this drama tonight, if I had known, I wouldn’t have slept."
With that, he even let out a big yawn.
Chu Qing sighed:
"Having some sunflower seeds would be nice."
"Here you go."
Gentle handed a handful of sunflower seeds to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded:
"Where did these come from?"
Don’t tell him they were picked up too?
How long would it take to gather a handful like this?
Gentle spoke expressionlessly:
"I have money."
With money, you can naturally buy things... Why ask such a question?
Chu Qing felt a sense of depth, the weight in his hand lightened as Bian City had already taken a small handful, eating while watching the battle in the rain curtain, squinting slightly:
"Can Third Young Master discern the path of this man in white?"
Chu Qing glanced twice, shook his head:
"I may not recognize the origins of this man in white... but I do know, the group opposite is not his match."
And indeed, the man in white’s figure traversed the crowd, and his folding fan was full of Sword Qi.
It’s shorter than a normal sword; killing depends entirely on the Sword Qi.
Therefore, the length was at his behest.
This made his sword technique elusive and unpredictable, both fierce and dangerous.
The pink-clad men opposite had formidable martial arts skills, skilled in cooperation.
But under the superior sword technique of the man in white, it was all in vain.
Their clashes were just for about twenty or thirty exchanges before six pink-clad men already lay on the ground.
Seeing this, the pink-clad men realized that the situation was dire and suddenly shouted angrily:
"Young master, do you really wish to exterminate us all?"
"Such a baseless statement!"
The man in white said loudly:
"Clearly, it’s you who are persistently chasing me; if you want to leave, I won’t stop you."
"That’s impossible..."
Their leader gritted his teeth and said:
"We must take you back to report; otherwise, the venerable will flay and dismember us."
"...Then the one pushing you to extermination is not me, but your Jade Sea Immortal!"
When the man in white mentioned ’Jade Sea Immortal’, the disgust on his face was palpable, as if just saying the words dirtied his mouth.
Watching from the side, Chu Qing and Bian City suddenly felt the sunflower seeds in their hands were no longer tasty.
Chu Qing furrowed his brows:
"The setting sun casts shadows, riding the dragon of Jade Sea?"
"It must be that Jade Dragon scoundrel..."
Bian City grimaced:
"That rascal isn’t causing havoc on his Longyang Mountain, why is he here in the South Ridge?
"So, this white-clothed young master caught that vile centipede’s eye?"
Chu Qing’s face went dark.
In the martial world, there were many licentious villains of all sorts.
But among them, the Jade Sea Immortal stood out uniquely.
Just because that old thing wasn’t interested in beauties but had the fondness for Longyang.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one in the world with this preference.
But while others kept it secret, indulging in male love and keeping boys, most were not publicly known.
Yet Jade Sea Immortal not only publicized but did it openly, even changing his mountain’s name to ’Longyang Mountain’ as if it were only natural.
Additionally, he was known for being ruthless and domineering, always kidnapping any handsome man he laid eyes on.
It seems this man in white was just unlucky... to have caught this thing’s attention.
