The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 794 Turning Point_1

Without warning, Huan Ling Ji suddenly made her move.

And that seemingly gentle and cute Fifth Miss was not someone to be trifled with either; at the moment her strength burst forth, there was an explosive ferocity akin to a volcanic eruption.

The two struck without warning, instantly demolishing a wall. Right after, amidst the rising dust, they burst out of the wooden building and took their fight to the sky.

Li Qing watched the fiery red and pink figures in the sky, his expression gradually becoming blank.

What the hell, he had just been feeling up a tiger’s backside and tickling it with a drumstick...

Could these old ladies hold a grudge and give him trouble later?

God dammit, he had unwittingly entangled himself with such a difficult opponent; it was truly bizarre.

Why on earth would someone capable of fighting Huan Ling Ji to a standstill disguise herself as a maidservant ripe for the picking? This was nothing short of setting a trap.

The commotion in the sky quickly drew the attention of those upstairs engaged in discussions.

There was a sudden fluctuation beside Li Qing, and immediately after, Jing Yan’s cold and proud figure appeared, "My lord, what’s happened?"

"How should I put this..." Li Qing was suddenly at a loss for words; explaining this to Jing Yan was indeed somewhat embarrassing.

He had acted with boldness, but speaking of it seemed difficult.

"The Wu Family arranged for two maidservants to tend to me, and as soon as they came up, they started to undress, claiming they could do any sort of thing." Li Qing took a while before he softly said, "I was suspicious from the start; given my status, I dared not lay a finger on them."

"Just now, Huan Ling Ji suddenly walked in, saying that the Wu Family excels in Gu techniques, and they have something called a "Love Gu" that’s transmitted through intimate acts. And that maidservant wasn’t a real maidservant but the Wu Family’s Fifth Miss — I don’t know what her status is within the Wu Family, but it should be quite high."

"Huan Ling Ji seemed to have also glimpsed some of the thoughts inside Fifth Miss’ heart, exposing her identity as the most outstanding Gu Master of the current Wu Family. The Fifth Miss called out ’old witch,’ and then the two of them started fighting."

Jing Yan’s fair and bright complexion instantly turned grim, "The Wu Family’s conduct is truly eye-opening!"

"My lord, watch the fight from here; I will deal with this little slut. How dare she make a move on my lord, she must be executed!"

No sooner had her voice faded than Jing Yan’s figure vanished from the spot, appearing at the periphery of the battle between Huan Ling Ji and the Fifth Miss in a single leap.

She forcefully squeezed past Huan Ling Ji and joined the fray.

It seemed that the Fifth Miss’ abilities were already somewhat inferior to Huan Ling Ji’s, consistently at a disadvantage. With Jing Yan’s forceful entry, the tides turned more chaotically, immediately revealing her lack of strength.

After a brief exchange that lasted less than two rounds, the Fifth Miss was slapped out of the sky by Jing Yan, crashing heavily into the rice paddy up ahead.

The Wu Family also cultivated crops, and from what Li Qing saw, they had quite an extensive operation.

As soon as the fifth young lady hit the ground, several figures flew down from the attic, among them Long Eyebrow and Dian Chunqiu.

As for Xuan Chen Zhenren, Li Qing had no clue where he had gone; he did not see him.

Flying around in the sky was still somewhat challenging for Li Qing, so he had to descend the wooden building by stairs and hurried towards the rice paddies. Having been struck down from such a height, even if the fifth young lady was not dead, her situation was probably not going to be favorable.

It was just a pity that such a charming and lovely beauty had to endure this. She was indeed adorable.

Just as Li Qing arrived, Jing Yan also happened to lightly descend from the sky, "For this matter, shouldn’t the Wu Family provide me with an explanation? Attempting to use an emotional Gu on my lord, do you regard my existence as nothing, or do you think I, Jing Yan, am trash that can be bullied at will?"

The rosy-cheeked Patriarch of the Wu Family was instantly dumbfounded as he incredulously looked at Jing Yan, his gaze shifting stiffly onto Li Qing, "What Jing Yan just mentioned... ’husband’?"

"Is there a problem?" Jing Yan’s demeanor was cold, surrounded by a menacing aura.

Within a few steps around her, it felt as if one were entering an icehouse, the chill bone-piercing.

The Wu Family Head was flabbergasted, his expression turning from green to red, "Elder, this matter, it’s indeed a misunderstanding. I thought Li Qing was just your guide in the mundane world, and I was not aware of the depth of your relationship."

Dian Chunqiu looked at Li Qing with an almost mocking smile and said lightly, "It’s understandable for the Wu Family Head not to know this. I only just found out about it too. However, not knowing these things beforehand doesn’t mean you have the right to secretly use Gu on our Ninth Bureau’s people, does it?"

"Wu Family Head, Li Qing is my junior disciple. For you to use Gu on him in secret, is this the Wu Family’s sincerity?" Long Eyebrow said in a cold voice.

The Wu Family Head’s expression became as terrible as if his mother had just died, "I had no intention of using any Gu. There really is a misunderstanding here."

"Is it truly a misunderstanding?" Huan Ling Ji floated next to Jing Yan, "You should be well aware of who I am. In my presence, very few can keep a secret. If I say it is so, do you have any objections?"

As everyone was speaking up for justice on his behalf, Li Qing tiptoed, trying to see whether the fifth young lady was dead or alive. However, the crowd was too large. A throng of Wu Family disciples crowded around the scene, blocking Li Qing’s view entirely.

"The Wu Family is willing to pay the price for this matter, but please, spare her life," the Wu Family Head seemed to have realized the situation was no longer reversible, and he bowed his head, taking a deep breath and saluting towards Long Eyebrow and the others around him.

"She is the only member of our Wu Family in the last hundred years who has hopes of stepping into the Gu King Realm. Even if she did use the emotional Gu on Li Qing, it is actually of considerable benefit to both of them, not entirely a disadvantage."

"It seems the Wu Family really wishes for its own destruction, doesn’t it?" Long Eyebrow suddenly said in a chilly tone.

With Xuan Chen Zhenren not present, it seemed that nobody was there to suppress the situation, and Long Eyebrow’s aura instantly flared up.

"I have also noticed that the Wu Family is full of clever people. I was doing my best to mediate this matter, to foster negotiations between the two parties," said Dian Chunqiu, with a sneer of mockery. "If that is the case, I see no need for our Ninth Bureau to continue with these ungrateful efforts. This is indeed the first time I’ve heard someone say that an emotional Gu is beneficial to someone’s cultivation."

"If you, Jing Yan, wish to take action, then do so. I shall handle this mess!"

The Wu Family Head stretched out his arms and called out loudly, "Wait, please wait! By using a secret method to restrain the Gu, it is indeed beneficial to cultivation, especially since Li Qing’s strength is modest. The effect is even more pronounced."
