Chapter 144 - 105: The Young Flower Knight
"If you don’t come back with us, it means you want to exterminate us completely!"
The man in pink showed a bitter expression on his face:
"I beseech you, young master, to show mercy. If you insist on not coming with us... then, you might as well kill us all."
"Anyway, if we can’t bring you back, we have no way to survive."
After saying this, the remaining ten men in pink indeed lowered their hands, adopting an attitude of accepting life or death, completely at his disposal.
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:
"As expected from the disciples of the old Jade Dragon rogue, your actions... are unconventional."
"This is retreating to advance, forcing us with your lives."
The sounds from Bian City were not small, directly reaching the ears of the group of men in pink, causing them to glance over.
When they saw Bian City, there was no reaction, but upon seeing Chu Qing in the attire of a Cyan Robe Swordsman, the leader of the men in pink suddenly had his eyes light up:
"What’s your name, young sir? Come with us as well!"
"..."
Chu Qing’s face turned dark. How did watching the fun turn into trouble for himself?
Bian City was gloating at the side.
His laughter was quite concealed but didn’t escape the eyes of the man in pink, who frowned and glared at him:
"Ugly ghost, what are you laughing at?"
Bian City’s laughter abruptly ceased, unable to contain his anger:
"What did you say? Why should he go with you? Just because I’m an ugly ghost?"
"...People should know themselves."
The man in pink said indifferently.
Bian City laughed in anger and looked at Chu Qing:
"Did he say I’m not as good-looking as you?"
Chu Qing blinked:
"You actually care about that?"
"Second Senior Brother, don’t be upset,"
Gentle also spoke on the side.
Bian City felt comforted immediately; no wonder she was his junior sister, she could still see the good in her senior brother.
But then he heard Gentle say:
"He just spoke the truth, no need to take it to heart."
Her face was expressionless, as if she had no emotional inclination.
This, however, made Bian City more angry and embarrassed. Just as he was about to argue with the man in pink, suddenly strands of sword light swept across.
It was the white-clad man who suddenly made a move.
At this moment, the disciples under the old Jade Dragon rogue did not resist, their attention still focused on Chu Qing and the others.
Such actions were tantamount to seeking their own doom!
As for the so-called retreat to advance, forcing with death... the white-clad man never took it to heart from beginning to end.
Only after the last man in pink fell to the ground in disbelief did the white-clad man flick his folding fan and walked to Chu Qing and Bian City, clasping his fists in respect:
"Sorry for making a fool of myself in front of everyone."
"It indeed was quite amusing..."
Bian City smiled and said:
"I’ve traveled the Martial World for years, and have seen many girls being chased by rogues, but a man being chased... pal, you’re the first."
"..."
The white-clad man’s face showed a bit of resentment:
"The old Jade Dragon rogue somehow left Longyang Mountain, and ended up in the South Ridge area...
"I happened to meet him, and he wanted to capture me on the spot.
"I tangled with him for over a month, and didn’t even have the chance to attend the First Grade Conference.
"Fortunately, a few days ago, this old rogue suddenly left unexpectedly, only leaving these incompetent subordinates to chase me... otherwise, if the entanglement continued, the outcome would have been unpredictable."
Chu Qing and Bian City both felt a chill on his behalf.
Immersing themselves in the situation of the white-clad man, it’s truly terrifying.
Gentle then asked:
"What kind of consequences could there be?"
"Little children shouldn’t pry into such matters,"
Bian City quickly stopped, fearing it might taint the little junior sister’s ears.
Gentle ignored Bian City and just looked at Chu Qing, wanting an answer from him.
"This... it’s better if you don’t know."
Chu Qing naturally couldn’t explain in detail to her; otherwise, the young girl’s worldview might collapse.
However, upon hearing Chu Qing’s words, Gentle didn’t press further.
Bian City became furious:
"I told you not to ask, you didn’t listen.
"He tells you not to know, and you don’t want to know?
"Little Junior Sister, I am your senior brother!!"
"Oh."
Gentle nodded and found a spot to sit.
The white-clad man then smiled and clasped his fists:
"I am Hua Jinnian, greetings to everyone."
Upon hearing this, Bian City’s face was full of realization. He clapped his hands and said:
"So you’re ’Little Flower Lang’ Hua Jinnian. I’ve long heard of Hua Young Hero’s Inconsistent Swordsmanship, which once astonished the Shaoyan Sect.
"Seeing it today, it is truly well-deserved."
Hua Jinnian quickly said:
"You flatter me, sir, it’s just a meager skill not worth mentioning."
"May I have your name?"
"My apologies, I am a disciple under the Angerless Divine Fist of the Taiyi Sect... Bian City.
"This is my junior sister."
He glanced at the still not fully awake Mo Duxing behind him, thought for a moment, and decided to skip over, then pointed at Chu Qing:
"As for this one... Hua Young Hero can call him Third Young Master."
"Third Young Master."
Hua Jinnian had never heard of the name of this Third Young Master.
Although he had shone with this name during the First Grade Conference yesterday, the news hadn’t spread too far, and Hua Jinnian had been constantly entangled with the old Jade Dragon Immortal on his way here.
How could he have heard of Chu Qing’s name?
However, he didn’t underestimate him, offering a courteous clasp to show respect.
Chu Qing and the others invited Hua Jinnian inside, and everyone sat around the campfire, engaging in casual conversation.
Hua Jinnian, gentle and refined with an exceedingly handsome appearance and a gentle demeanor, easily garnered goodwill from others.
During the conversation, they happened to inquire about the upcoming plans.
Hua Jinnian casually said:
"Next, I plan to visit Luochun Manor.
"You all may have heard, Luochun Manor has a Celestial Secret Order left by the celestial sage back in the day.
