Chen Ping's Sword
Chapter 138 - 109: When You Roam the World, the Scenery Here Will Be Just Right
Hua Lian’er rides her horse in a frenzy, tears streaming against the wind.
At this moment, she no longer cares about wearing finery or the strange gazes from the military camps around her.
Holding back the grievance in her heart, restraining herself from crying out loud, she has already exerted all her strength.
’If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come to Ling Mountain Prefecture to find Father.’
She wildly lashes the horse’s rump, looking around...
In the distance, the green hills look like ink; nearby, the grass is lush and green. Her gaze takes it all in, unobstructed.
Turning past a sloping path, she sees a person standing with a horse on a low hill at the junction, blue robes fluttering in the breeze.
"Seventh Brother."
Hua Lian’er’s heart fills with joy. Unable to stay steady on the horse, she rolls off, tumbling twice on the grass.
Getting up, she doesn’t care that some grass sticks to her face. Her meticulously groomed hair is now disheveled. Like a madwoman, she morphs into several illusions, throwing herself into Chen Ping’s arms.
"If you... If you really leave without saying goodbye, I will, I will..."
Hua Lian’er is both crying and happy, unable to come up with any threatening words, not wanting to say anything hurtful either.
"I’ll go to Qingwei Mountain, become a Taoist nun, and let you never see me again."
Qingwei Mountain belongs to the Daoist Sect, where on her escape, Hua Lian’er had mentioned it was split into worldly and unworldly factions.
What she speaks of now is obviously not the worldly faction where one can marry, but the unworldly retreat.
Serving the Daoist Venerable all her life, living the rest of her days on simple tea and meals.
Beauty like flowers, years flowing like water.
In such a splendid era, to become a nun like this, let’s see if Seventh Brother can bear it.
What else could Chen Ping say...
He reaches out, stroking Hua Lian’er’s damp hair, and sighs, "If you hold me any tighter, your father won’t be able to help stepping in to suppress me."
He knows that Hua Lian’er’s sense of crisis is far superior to his own.
It’s a kind of completely unjustifiable spiritual power.
However, for the ability to sense Qi mechanisms that don’t threaten her, she’s limited by strength and experience and cannot discern them.
In this regard, Chen Ping is much stronger than she is.
As Hua Lian’er rushes into his embrace, he senses a strong Qi mechanism faintly transmitting over.
Like a blazing sun ready to scorch him.
This will, brilliant as the sun, fierce and domineering, is ten times, even a hundred times stronger than the Great Sun Scorching Sun Skill cultivation Fixed Realm artistic resonance Chen Ping perceived during the Trace Origin and Steal Fortune.
’Is this Innate Martial Intent?’
Chen Ping vaguely feels that if the opponent takes action, he might not withstand even one move.
Even if he cultivates his physique to its current realm and fully operates the Primordial Technique, it would be of no use.
Thinking of the Lifeless Sword Slave Sword Elder’s preliminary Sword Intent perceived during the escape, Chen Ping is almost at a loss for words.
That preliminary Sword Intent compared to the current Martial Dao Will is like a firefly to the bright moon, not on the same level at all.
On the other hand, King Jinghai possesses such power, coupled with such a strong army at hand, yet allows his beloved daughter to be pursued in distress, desperately like a stray dog, nearly losing her life multiple times.
Can you believe it?
Therefore, Chen Ping does not believe it.
’No wonder on the road, during the Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, occasionally feeling abnormal Qi mechanisms, it must not be due to danger, but someone by our side.
Perhaps such an Innate level expert was watching from the side.
Watching me taking Hua Lian’er fighting for life, just watching, not intervening, merely spectating.’
Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn’t help but feel a chill all over his body.
If it’s really like this, Hua Lian’er naturally wouldn’t really be in danger.
But he might die at any time.
"No way, if Father ever harms even a hair on you, I will go to the Celestial Gate Pass and never return."
Hua Lian’er grits her teeth and says.
These words are spoken with mournfulness and determination.
The Martial Dao Will quietly enveloping them shatters silently, Chen Ping seems to hear a roar in his heart, followed by a light laugh.
Well, Little Commandery Princess, you’d better not speak any further. If you continue, I won’t be able to hold the hatred.
If your father really goes berserk, we won’t even be able to cover it up.
Chen Ping breaks out in a cold sweat secretly.
Quickly changes the subject: "Xiaoyue, do you still remember what we talked about at Youx Mountain when we escaped, about the Jade Spirit Snake Princess?"
"You mentioned it, you also guessed that it was Lady Han, the Hall Master of Primordial Martial Arts Hall, who made a move, resulting in both she and the Jade Spirit Snake Princess being grievously injured. We took the opportunity to escape back then."
"Indeed, if Lady Han encounters trouble, do you think I should help?"
"Of course, you should help."
Hua Lian’er takes the long sword off her back, saying fiercely.
She understands immediately.
Considering the manpower and resources Beizhou invested in Xingqing Prefecture, it really wouldn’t be too difficult to find out who acted that night.
Perhaps, the Primordial Martial Arts Hall is already in critical danger at this time.
She also wishes to give a helping hand.
"You should not go, returning to Xingqing Prefecture, not to mention that you cannot pass your father’s hurdle; even if you go, it would be like a lamb entering the tiger’s mouth."
Having painstakingly got the Little Commandery Princess to a safe place, how could he dare involve her again?
"Hum, don’t underestimate me. In not too long, when my swordsmanship reaches Great Success, I can help you kill the enemy."
Hua Lian’er struggles with her expression, very reluctant.
Knowing well that at this time, thinking of leaving with Seventh Brother is but a dream.
She hesitates for a moment, then takes out a small booklet from her arms, sneakily glancing around: "Quickly look, look, given your talent, you’ll master it soon."
