Chapter 192 - 129: Celestial Fragrance Body
Chu Qing looked at Brother Bai with a dark face, even though he had just finished eating.
But now he had a strong urge to taste horse meat dumplings.
He glanced down at the bellyband on the ground and discovered there was also a letter beside it.
At this moment, Brother Bai lowered his head, picked up the bellyband, and turned to trot away with a clatter of hooves.
It was clear that the letter was for Chu Qing, but the bellyband was not...
A group of Luochun Manor disciples looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing Chu Qing and this white horse, it seemed they had a significant relationship... So should they chase after it or not?
Chu Qing pointed with his finger:
"Chase! Capture it and send it to the kitchen, I’ll personally slaughter it and make horse meat dumplings for everyone!"
Brother Bai abruptly turned back to look at Chu Qing, disbelief written all over his horse face.
His eyes shone with the anger of betrayal.
Then he suddenly charged, leaping up, using the perimeter wall for momentum, and galloped wildly towards the gate of Luochun Manor, neighing as if to tell Chu Qing:
"Just you wait for me!"
Chu Qing watched as this creature was chased clumsily by the disciples of Luochun Manor, feeling inexplicable delight in his heart.
He squatted down to pick up the letter, took out the paper, and spread it open for a glance.
His brows furrowed slightly.
The letter was written by Cao Qiupu.
Apart from the sincere apologies to Chu Qing regarding the events that took place at the Observatory, it elaborated on Miss Ling Fei’s meeting with someone at Luochun Manor.
The cause of the events was related to Gentle.
The first group of people who came under the name of the Mirror of Sin to assassinate Gentle indeed caught the attention of the Mirror of Sin.
This group of people were pervasive, existing everywhere.
The slightest disturbance would attract their vigilance.
Anyone who dared to act in the name of Mirror of Sin would not be allowed to survive, according to the style of Mirror of Sin.
But theoretically, a high-ranking expert like Ling Fei on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List wouldn’t be involved in investigating this matter.
However, Ling Fei had her own personal agenda...
The letter mentioned briefly that Ling Fei helped the Mirror of Sin kill a lot of people and now wanted freedom and to reunite with her childhood friend Cao Qiupu.
Why she resorted to a brothel to be discovered by Cao Qiupu remained unknown.
Overall, Ling Fei’s appearance at the Celestial Fragrance Tower had two purposes.
One was to reunite with Cao Qiupu, and the other was to investigate who was impersonating the Mirror of Sin to assassinate Gentle.
As for Ling Fei wanting freedom, Chu Qing didn’t care.
But when Ling Fei arrived at Luochun Manor, a certain person had already made contact with her in secret.
According to Cao Qiupu’s letter, this was the Mirror of Sin’s final task for Ling Fei.
As long as Ling Fei figured out the beginning and end of the matter, there would be no more Flowery Beauty from the Mirror of Sin.
Ling Fei was very eager for this, so she directly went to the agreed place to meet the counterpart.
Ling Fei told Cao Qiupu that the counterpart impersonated the Mirror of Sin to act because they wanted to contact the Mirror of Sin another way, hoping to achieve some cooperation.
However, during this meeting, both sides were very cautious and didn’t discuss specific cooperation details, requiring further sincerity.
According to Ling Fei’s description, the person opposite wore black, emanating an unsettling aura all over.
His hair color was also different from the norm, much redder than usual.
This person’s martial arts were certainly strong, as even the Flowery Beauty felt pressured in his presence.
They agreed to meet again at the same place today during the Dog Watch hour to discuss the next steps for cooperation.
Tie Chuming accidentally stumbled in at this time.
The counterpart vanished like a phantom.
Ling Fei wanted to kill the witness to eliminate future troubles... but didn’t expect Chu Qing, due to the old beggar, was also nearby observing.
Ultimately, he scared off the Flowery Beauty and saved Tie Chuming.
This was pretty much the whole situation... As for the Observatory incident later, Ling Fei already knew the matter was exposed when Chu Qing invited Cao Qiupu alone.
That’s why she took the first step to kill Chu Qing.
But unexpectedly, Chu Qing’s martial arts were far stronger than she imagined.
Unable to kill him, she tried to frame him, but even that failed...
While Cao Qiupu was not exactly savvy, he at least listened to reason and could distinguish right from wrong.
However, when facing this childhood sweetheart, he tended to soften.
The letter from Cao Qiupu told Chu Qing he planned to take Ling Fei to find a place to live in seclusion, and from then on, the world would no longer have White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu or the Flowery Beauty from the Mirror of Sin.
The letter was quite thick, and Cao Qiupu, in his writings, appeared to be either excited or for some other reason, resulting in many parts that were incoherent or riddled with errors...
Chu Qing read for a long time before finishing.
Then he put the letter away:
"Like hell I believe you...
"The Mirror of Sin can’t just be quit like that?"
For ordinary assassins, leaving the Mirror of Sin was harder than ascending to heaven.
He himself was an exception, being very cautious and careful to cut off the Mirror of Sin’s pursuit.
But who was Ling Fei?
The Flowery Beauty on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List, someone like her, the Mirror of Sin wouldn’t allow her departure.
Either the Flowery Beauty Ling Fei was deceiving the innocent, soft-hearted brother again...
Or... the Mirror of Sin was already prepared to kill her.
However, Cao Qiupu wasn’t so easy to kill; his Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique was exceptional. If at Qingxi Village he harbored murderous intent, then even if the young blacksmith wielded the Chaotic God Saber, he wouldn’t be a match.
