"Since you know, that’s good."

Sun Xiaoxiang took out something from his bosom and tossed it to Chu Qing:

"The Celestial Demon Robe, he took it with him, and this is what he asked me to pass on to you... saying it’s your reward."

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, the assassination mission of the two guards and one King was proposed by the Wandering Sect, and at that time, the old beggar offered a generous reward.

But now holding it in his hand, this thing doesn’t feel significant.

Unwrapping the white cloth surrounding the item, he found a palm-sized sword-shaped token inside.

Chu Qing took a closer look:

"What is this thing?"

As for the Celestial Demon Robe, Chu Qing never really cared.

It’s just something for suicide or perish together; taking it away is fine.

"...He has many bizarre things, how would I know what it is?"

Sun Xiaoxiang shook his head:

"Alright, I’ve done what I promised, farewell."

Although Chu Qing had many questions, after a slight contemplation, he still clasped his fists:

"Please."

As the words fell, Sun Xiaoxiang once again leapt away.

Chu Qing and Gentle stood by the pool, looking at each other.

The Wandering Sect can erase its scent and traces, which is understandably the skill of the world’s top Divine Thief.

Being able to get something from Sun Xiaoxiang wasn’t a wasted trip.

However, as Chu Qing thought about it, he still asked:

"Can you recognize this old thing when you meet him next time?"

Gentle’s answer wasn’t as certain as before, cautiously saying:

"...Logically speaking, yes."

Chu Qing was somewhat surprised: "Is there a non-logical way?"

Gentle replied expressionlessly: "You."

"..."

Chu Qing was speechless; his situation is rare in the world, right?

Immediately shook his head:

"Forget it, considering it’s the Wandering Sect, it’s understandable not to keep up.

"Otherwise, his claim as the world’s number one Divine Thief would be mere boasting... Let’s go, back to Luochun Manor first."

The two said no more, soared and hurried toward Luochun Manor.

But once they entered the manor, they found traces of many disputes.

And the disciples of Luochun Manor, upon seeing Chu Qing and Gentle, approached them to pay respects.

With a few inquiries, they also learned what happened here last night.

This chaos started with Wen Fusheng and others heading to Celestial Secret Valley and ended... when Tie Lingyun arrived with others.

With Tie Lingyun stepping in, settling the chaos was a breeze.

Although he didn’t bring many people, each was elite, and once they took action, the issues of Luochun Manor were immediately settled.

Chu Qing was a bit surprised by the words, primarily because he didn’t expect Tie Lingyun to arrive so quickly.

The two then asked around a bit and proceeded to Luochun Manor’s guest hall, the Star-Picking Hall!

Before getting close, a voice like thunder sounded:

"Damn it, hand over my daughter quickly, or I’ll tear down your Celestial Star Mountain, fill your Star-picking Lake, and level your Luochun Manor!!!"

Wen Fusheng’s voice followed immediately:

"I have already said, this matter is beyond my authority.

"If you want to tear it down, do it, if necessary, I can help, and it’ll be easier to rebuild later."

"How outrageous, you shameless old man, this Luochun Manor holds you in supreme respect, if you can’t, then let me?"

"Of course you can’t make the decision, wait a moment... he’s away handling business, should be back soon."

During the conversation, a disciple saw Chu Qing and Gentle approaching and quickly shouted:

"Young Master Chu and the Young Misses have arrived!!!"

Wen Fusheng immediately said:

"The ones who can decide are here!"

Chu Qing and Gentle just stepped in, and saw a virtuous-looking man whose facial features didn’t conform, angry to the point of steaming:

"It shows you’re not a good thing.

"You’re saying the decision-maker is your daughter?

"Since when does your family have another Young Master Chu? Have you given birth to two more?"

"Poof!"

Cheng Tieshan, who was watching the drama on the sidelines, glanced to the entrance and at once saw Chu Qing and Gentle.

A mouthful of tea was immediately sprayed, coughing continuously, he hurriedly grabbed Tie Lingyun’s sleeve:

"Grand Hall Master, be cautious, be cautious!"

"What’s your problem? Be cautious about what?"

Tie Lingyun turned his head angrily, seeing Cheng Tieshan pointing at Chu Qing:

"That’s Mad Saber Young Master Chu... Not that Wen old ghost gave birth to two more."

Tie Lingyun heard this and suddenly calmed down, squinting slightly at the approaching Chu Qing:

"So it’s you, Young Master Chu...

"I heard you hit my man?"

Chu Qing laughed:

"Grand Hall Master is joking, I merely sparred with Senior Cheng.

"Moreover, there was an agreement to ask Senior Cheng for advice when I visit Iron Blood Hall."

Cheng Tieshan’s face turned black, pulling at Tie Lingyun:

"I told you he harbors intent to kill me, see, see it?"

"...Embarrassing fellow."

Tie Lingyun snorted, flung Cheng Tieshan aside, glanced at Chu Qing, then at Wen Fusheng, suddenly realized:

"Wen old ghost, the one you mean can decide must be this kid, right?"

"That’s correct."

Wen Fusheng smiled:

"Your daughter was caught by him, that letter was written by him, he invited you over, and whether you can take your daughter away depends on him.

"I dare not make decisions for him..."

Tie Lingyun’s forehead veins throbbed, he fiercely slapped the table:

"So you’re the one who caught my daughter!"

Chu Qing glared at Wen Fusheng, knowing the old fellow was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Immediately he smiled, found a chair to sit in, sipped a cup of tea, then spoke:

"Grand Hall Master, calm down. It’s not about catching your daughter...

"Miss Tie disguised herself to attend the martial arts contest for marriage but was attacked by villains.

"I intervened to save her... Then, to prevent harm to Miss Tie, I kept her in the manor, assigning people to protect her well.

"Worried of any mishap or neglect toward Iron Blood Hall’s prized daughter.

"The letter was written out of concern for the long journey, Miss Tie traveling alone, potentially facing danger on the way.

"Thus, requesting you all to personally escort her back."

Tie Lingyun’s face sank:

"Who dares harm my daughter?"

"A name on the ’Mirror of Sin Seventy-two Evil Extermination List’... ’Frosted Plum Blossom Fragrance Killing Intent’ Flower Belle!"

Chu Qing said softly:

"Your beloved accidentally saw Flower Belle with someone, seeming like plotting.

"They found out and intended to kill to silence... I happened to intervene and rescue her.

"That’s all."

"So, do I owe you thanks then?"

Tie Lingyun looked at Chu Qing, suddenly laughing heartily:

"Thanks indeed!!"

This sounded less like verbal jousting, Chu Qing was taken aback:

"Is Grand Hall Master genuinely thanking?"

"What else?"

Tie Lingyun laughed heartily:

"Regardless of any sinister intentions you have, however you plan to manipulate me.

"The premise is, you indeed saved my girl.

"No matter what you want to do, this life-saving grace precedes, this thanks cannot be overlooked."

Wen Fusheng mocked:

"Old fox."

"Who are you calling?"

Tie Lingyun couldn’t help but glare at Wen Fusheng, then showed a friendly face to Chu Qing: 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Can I see my girl now?"

"Of course."

Chu Qing nodded to Wen Fusheng.

Wen Fusheng slightly waved his hand, immediately a disciple of Luochun Manor departed.

After doing this, Wen Fusheng looked at Chu Qing:

"Prince Mu’s matter, I’m afraid, hasn’t ended yet..."

Chu Qing looked thoughtfully at Tie Lingyun, Wen Fusheng bringing this up in front of him.

Obviously intentionally...

Matters of the Celestial Evil Cult are not isolated, this is a reminder to Tie Lingyun?

Seems the relationship between the two houses isn’t as confrontational as imagined.

As he was about to speak after pondering, he suddenly heard someone calling at the door:

"Taiyi Sect’s Young Master Mo, Young Master Bian, Young Master Chu have arrived!!"

When Chu Qing first heard, he didn’t react, then pondered, instantly stunned:

"Who arrived?"
