System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 81 - 73: White Horse Golden Sword (Part 2)
Dong Xingzhi also hurriedly said:
"I didn’t expect it to be Miss Du. I am Dong Xingzhi, and this is my nephew, Dong Yubai."
As he spoke, he signaled Dong Yubai to step forward and greet, but Dong Yubai didn’t move. Dong Xingzhi paused for a moment, turned to look at his nephew, and found his nephew was dumbly staring at Du Hanyan, seemingly enchanted.
Indeed, Du Hanyan was quite beautiful.
The emerald dress couldn’t conceal her fine figure, her skin as white as jade, cherry lips, and a delicate nose.
Especially those eyes, seemingly full of autumn water, at a glance, it was easy to fall deep into them.
Appreciating beauty and admiring youth is human nature.
But in this situation, it was a bit embarrassing.
Dong Xingzhi couldn’t help but gently pull him, Dong Yubai finally came to his senses, first glaring fiercely at Dong Xingzhi, then clasped his fists and said:
"Miss, what is your age, and are you betrothed?"
Du Hanyan glanced at Dong Yubai without acknowledging him, instead nodding at Dong Xingzhi and then asked Cao Qiupu:
"This horse stole a woman’s intimate belongings... Could it have been influenced by Li Hanguang?"
"This matter is a long story."
Cao Qiupu opened up:
"Half a year ago, I had an unexpected encounter with Li Hanguang at Golden Sun Mountain.
"Having heard of his skill ’Three Thousand Miles of Cold Light, Killing Intent with This Autumn,’ which is extraordinary, the two of us, being similar in age, couldn’t help but have a heart for contest.
"So, we decided to battle at Golden Sun Mountain for three days and nights.
"The outcome was unresolved, but he was indeed a rare adversary, so after three days, we ceased fighting and drank together.
"Heavy snow fell at that time, drinking and appreciating the snow, speaking of the Martial World was immensely delightful.
"But unexpectedly, Li Hanguang, the fellow, not only wanted people to drink, but upon seeing my White Brother’s majestic appearance, he actually enticed him to drink too.
"White Brother himself had some interest in alcohol, so when he was stirred up, he drank until he was entirely intoxicated.
"The three of us and the horse were drunk on the mountain there for another three days and nights.
"When I awoke, I found that fellow Li Hanguang was teaching White Brother...
"Instructing White Brother that if he wanted to drink in the future, he could seek women’s intimate clothing, using them to exchange for wine at wineries.
"By the time I realized and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
"Afterwards, we parted ways at Golden Sun Mountain, and White Brother became like a different horse... approaching women whenever seen, and with any chance, wanting to steal clothing.
"I restrained him several times but couldn’t stop it; he even sulked.
"Angered, he once ran away from home.
"I scolded him over it recently, and with a few movements, I couldn’t catch him even after a day’s run.
"For several consecutive days, I’ve been searching for his trace, only seeing him today... Fortunately, if I came a step late, this White Brother... Alas, he indeed deserves a beating.
"But Miss, you struck me just now, I gather some courage here to plead, having struck me, perhaps spare him."
Although these words were a bit lengthy, they indeed clearly recounted the events.
The few girls from Mist Rain Tower began cursing in groups again, saying Li Hanguang is not decent.
Fighting is one thing, drinking is another, but why trouble people’s horses?
Yet, it should be said, this horse was impressive... being taught and then recalling, remembering and believing it.
Du Hanyan’s lips slightly curved:
"Hero Cao, you speak too seriously. Since it was Li Hanguang’s wrongdoing, I will deal with him in the future.
"Being impolite with that strike today, I ask Hero Cao not to mind."
"Not at all."
Cao Qiupu hurriedly waved his hand: "After all, it was the intimate belonging of Miss that was stolen, that strike was sparing me."
"Oh."
Du Hanyan waved her hand:
"It wasn’t mine... It was my junior sister’s."
As she said this, she lightly beckoned, revealing a figure slightly thick, with eyes like copper bells, glancing shyly at Cao Qiupu, then quietly took the clothing from Du Hanyan’s hand and retreated, covering her face.
Cao Qiupu’s face stiffened watching the scene, lastly cough a couple of times holding his chest, feeling his injury seemed to have worsened.
The chaos thus dissipated into obscurity.
Chu Qing’s gaze swept over these people one by one; apart from Dong Xingzhi of unknown background, he had heard of Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan from Mist Rain Tower.
No need to mention Cao Qiupu, famous as a hero.
Mist Rain Tower is a sect, with its position in the Martial World not lesser than Taiyi Sect.
Du Hanyan, as the chief senior sister of Mist Rain Tower, her martial arts and status are conceivable.
But what’s crucial is, Mist Rain Tower’s territory isn’t close to Divine Blade Hall... Why did they suddenly appear here, what’s their purpose?
While pondering, suddenly Dong Yubai said:
"By the way, who exactly are you people?
"This ghost village can’t be exited, is it due to your doings?"
Looking up, Dong Yubai was pointing his finger at herself and Gentle.
Dong Xingzhi hurriedly pressed down his hand:
"Don’t cause trouble, these two are disciples of the Taiyi Sect."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the words ’Taiyi Sect,’ a gleam of light sparked in Du Hanyan’s eyes, even Cao Qiupu glanced over.
Du Hanyan’s lips curled with a slight smile:
"May I know your names?"
Gentle openly and unbothered stepped forward, clasped her fists and said:
"Fourth disciple under Angerless Divine Fist Cui Bunu at Taiyi Sect, Gentle.
"Greeting all fellow travelers."
The utterance of ’Angerless Divine Fist Cui Bunu’ made Dong Xingzhi instinctively step back, especially pulling Dong Yubai back a bit, in that moment he wished to sew Dong Yubai’s mouth shut.
Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan’s expressions also changed slightly.
The reason being that Angerless Divine Fist is indeed difficult to deal with... His own title ’Angerless,’ actually meaning the easiest to anger.
Once angered, his fist technique becomes increasingly powerful, a hand Taiyi Divine Fist rumored nearly breaking the Celestial Boundary recorded in the Unchanging Celestial Book.
Moreover, his reputation of protecting disciples is like thunder in the ears; if he knew of today’s matters... the Dong Family might be untenable.
"So, Miss is actually Senior Cui’s disciple, a great honor."
Du Hanyan said this, then looked at Chu Qing:
"And who is this brother?"
"This is my third brother."
Gentle quietly answered.
Du Hanyan was dazed, third brother?
Is it a real brother? Or a senior brother?
But seeing Gentle like this, not intending to explain in detail, she nodded:
"I understand, greetings, third brother."
Chu Qing clasped his fists without speaking.
Dong Yubai wanted to speak, but this time Dong Xingzhi covered him tightly, wishing he could strangle him dead between his fingers and palm.
Finally, it was Cao Qiupu who spoke first:
"Everyone, Cao came here seeking White Brother, now that White Brother is found, I’ll take my leave first."
"Hero Cao, do you have a way to break the array outside the village?"
Dong Xingzhi hurriedly asked.
"Array?"
Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan simultaneously said in surprise.
Dong Xingzhi was even more astonished:
"You don’t know?"
Both shook their heads, Cao Qiupu was chasing White Brother, and so was Du Hanyan.
White Brother dashed into this village, neither group caring to scrutinize the circumstances, thus leading to a conflict.
Only now realizing the village surroundings have another layer of Illusion Array.
Yet, is it necessary to set up an array around this village?
Cao Qiupu slightly frowned, softly said:
"It seems this place is indeed peculiar... Cao will go investigate first."
After saying it, without caring about everyone’s reaction, he leaped away.
White Brother still wanted to wriggle towards Mist Rain Tower’s side, but was avoided like plague by the girls.
This left White Brother quite hurt, dejectedly following Cao Qiupu’s footsteps.
Du Hanyan then said:
"I have some light knowledge in array formations.
"Allow me to take a look first... If there’s no way to break the array, shall we gather here a bit later?"
Gentle glanced at Chu Qing, upon seeing his gentle nod, she said:
"Alright."
Du Hanyan watched the little movement, deeply gazed at Chu Qing before leading others away.
For a while, only Chu Qing, Gentle, and Dong Family’s uncle and nephew remained.
Gentle felt no goodwill towards these two, then looked at Chu Qing:
"Third brother, what shall we do now?"
Chu Qing was about to speak, suddenly his gaze deepened:
"Who’s there?"
