I Have Unlimited Dantians-Chapter 64 - 55: Luo Qingcheng’s Thoughts

"This... This..."

Less than three seconds elapsed between Nie Lang executing the Yangtze River Triple Wave and his head hitting the ground. Luoo Chenxiao had just been marveling that such a powerful Martial Art existed within the Nie Family, wondering how the City Lord’s Mansion would deal with them in the future. Then he saw Nie Lang’s head fall. The sheer visual shock rooted him to the spot, leaving him speechless.

’What in the world just happened?’

’That was such a powerful Martial Art, yet this boy is only in the True Qi Realm. How could he possibly have countered it? And even if he could, how did he do it so quickly?’

Luoo Chenxiao felt he’d been more surprised today than in his entire life. This young boy before him had delivered one shock after another!

"Dad, let’s go save Mother! Qingcheng, I’m so sorry, but I don’t have time to spend with you today. We’ll have to meet another time!"

After killing Nie Lang, Nie Yun didn’t hesitate for a second. He grabbed his father and pulled him onto Xiaohu’s back, and the two of them and the beast shot away at high speed.

Even as he was leaving, he remembered to apologize to Luoqing City. The girl had come specifically to see him, only for things to turn out like this. It had ruined the occasion, and he genuinely felt bad about it.

If anyone knew he was apologizing for something like this, they would probably faint on the spot.

In less than five minutes, he had killed so many people, every single one with a higher Cultivation than his own. Yet he felt neither fear nor excitement—only embarrassment... Was he even human?!

"Wait..."

Hearing the boy say he was going to save his mother, Luoqing City was about to urge him not to be so rash and to think things through. But before she could get the words out, the two of them and the beast had vanished completely from sight.

"Uncle Chenxiao, what should we do? The Nie Family is filled with powerful experts, and their Clan Leader, Nie Haotian, is at the Peak of the Armor Realm! If he rushes in recklessly like this, isn’t he just courting death?"

Seeing that the boy hadn’t listened to her and was already long gone, Luoqing City stomped her foot anxiously.

"It is indeed very dangerous to rush in like that," Luoo Chenxiao said slowly after a moment’s hesitation. "Let’s wait here for two hours. If he isn’t back by then, we’ll return to the City Lord’s Mansion and discuss this with the City Lord."

"Two hours? In two hours, Nie Yun might already have been killed by the Nie Family! We’re going back to the City Lord’s Mansion right now to find my father!" Luoqing City stomped her foot on the ground and turned to head back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Two hours was far too long. Nie Yun was charging into the Nie Mansion, a place fraught with danger where every passing second increased the peril. There was no way Luoqing City could simply wait here.

"Well..." Hearing the girl’s anxious words, Luoo Chenxiao hesitated. After a moment, he couldn’t help but shake his head. "Miss, forgive my forwardness, but the conflict between Nie Yun and the Nie Family is their own internal family affair. The City Lord’s Mansion has no right to interfere. If we force the issue, I’m afraid it will create immense conflict. If it causes the Four Great Families to unite in opposition, the City Lord... he will be in a very difficult position."

Luoo Chenxiao hadn’t wanted to tell his young miss about the delicate relationship between the City Lord’s Mansion and the Four Great Families, but under the circumstances, he had no idea what trouble she might cause if he kept quiet. After much hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Opposition? What opposition? Nie Yun is my savior! Do you expect me to stand by and do nothing while he’s in trouble? How would that be any different from being a thankless villain? If I ask my father and he refuses to help, I’ll go myself!"

Luoqing City gritted her teeth.

"This..."

Hearing his miss’s words, Luoo Chenxiao didn’t know how to respond.

’I’ve watched this young miss grow up and know her personality perfectly. Once she makes up her mind about something, she will never back down!’

’Just like when she decided to join the Baihua Sect. To pass the grueling series of assessments, she went three days and three nights without food or water. Anyone else’s will would have long since collapsed, but not hers. She persevered and ultimately entered the Sect with the highest score, fortunate enough to be taken in by the Sect Master of Baihua Flowers Sect as an Inner Chamber Disciple!’

’She was only six years old that year!’

He didn’t know why his miss was so concerned with this boy, Nie Yun, but Luoo Chenxiao knew that now that she had made her decision, she would absolutely not change her mind.

"Miss, if I may be so bold... do you... like this Nie Yun?"

Luoo Chenxiao had seen a thing or two in his life. Even if Nie Yun was her savior, this level of concern seemed a bit much.

"Like Nie Yun? What nonsense are you spouting..." Luoqing City scoffed, her face flushing red all the way to her neck. "I, I just... He’s only my savior, that’s all. I have to save my savior. No one can fault me for that, right? Besides... if people knew this is how we treat our benefactors, wouldn’t they... wouldn’t they laugh at the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Luoqing City didn’t even know what she was saying, her face burning.

’The Baihua Sect is near the Imperial Capital, and I’m an Inner Chamber Disciple of the Sect Leader. I’ve naturally met plenty of princes and nobles. Most of them tried to win my favor, but I’ve never given any of them a second glance!’

’But... for some reason, when that boy, Nie Yun, ran into danger last night and pulled me along to escape, my traitorous heart actually started pounding wildly!’

’I’ve always carried myself with propriety, and the Baihua Sect is one of the top Sects in the Divine Wind Empire. Even though many men pursued me, no one ever dared to be forceful. Honestly, in my entire life, that was the first time a man had ever held my hand. I thought I’d be mortified and snatch it away, but for some reason, when he actually let go... I felt a little disappointed...’

’Is this... liking someone? No, that’s not it... I just think he’s a good person, and I want to be friends, that’s all...’

Luoqing City reassured herself with this thought. Finding the reason perfectly sufficient, she nodded.

In truth, Luoqing City’s current state couldn’t really be called ’liking’ him. At most, it was a favorable impression, which was perfectly normal. Last night, when she was surrounded by the Demon Race, at her most dangerous and helpless moment, Nie Yun had descended from the sky... A hero saving a beauty might be the oldest cliché in the book, but its effect on a girl is still immense.

Every girl dreams of such a day, and when it arrives, she naturally develops a deep and favorable impression of the hero of the story.

"Alright then. We’ll head back to the City Lord’s Mansion now. I will do my best to persuade the City Lord to rescue Nie Yun."

Seeing the girl’s flustered demeanor and her jumbled words, how could Luoo Chenxiao not know what was on her mind? He gave her a doting look and nodded in agreement.

"Then let’s hurry! I’m afraid if we’re too late, Nie Yun will really be in danger!" Seeing that Uncle Chenxiao was no longer pressing her, Luoqing City thought her explanation had dispelled his suspicions. She breathed a sigh of relief and spoke urgently.

"Yes, let’s hurry back to the City Lord’s Mansion!" Luoo Chenxiao nodded and then turned around. "The rest of you, stay here. The moment Young Master Nie Yun returns, send word to me immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" the few men standing in the hall replied in unison.

Luoqing City and Luoo Chenxiao had brought several people with them on this trip; otherwise, who would have carried all those chests meant to express their gratitude?

"Let’s go!"

Having given his orders, Luoo Chenxiao took the lead, and he and the young miss shot off in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.
