Baron and Xia Liuqing: Can't Win, So We Ran

Continuing from the previous episode:

——

After speaking, Zhang Huaiyi ignored Gong Qing and the other three, and instead turned to Rong Shan and said:

"Rong Shan, you go inside and take care of Senior Brother Tian. These people are not someone you can handle. Leave them to me."

Rong Shan was puzzled when he heard Zhang Huaiyi's words, wondering when Zhang Huaiyi had arrived.

But he was also very grateful that Zhang Huaiyi was there today; otherwise, he alone would not have been able to stop the four members of the Quanxing group on the other side.

Thinking of this, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Rong Shan's eyes.

If he were to let his Uncle-Master Tian die in front of him again, he would definitely break down, and he would also be unable to explain it to his master.

(Rong Shan felt that Tian Jinzhong's body had only been restored for a month, and even if he resumed his cultivation, he would only have a month left, so he could not possibly be a match for Gong Qing.)

Therefore, they believed that without his protection, Tian Jinzhong would certainly die.

Thinking of this, Rong Shan's approval rating for this junior uncle who had suddenly appeared and whom he was not very familiar with so far skyrocketed.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhang Huaiyi's words, Rong Shan did not ask why, and immediately nodded in response. "Yes, Uncle Zhang."

Then, under everyone's gaze, he turned and went into the house.

"Baron, why don't we both retreat? This old guy is not easy to deal with."

Meanwhile, seeing that Zhang Huaiyi ignored her, Xia Liuqing didn't want to make a fool of herself and instead whispered to Baron beside her.

He didn't want to fight that old monster Zhang Huaiyi; who knew just how strong that guy really was now?

If their strength hasn't recovered after Resurrection, that's fine.

But if Zhang Huaiyi's strength has recovered, then things will be troublesome.

It's worth noting that Zhang Huaiyi's final battle before his death shocked the entire China Anomalous Human World.

Moreover, Zhang Huaiyi was arguably the main damage dealer in that battle.

This guy single-handedly killed at least a dozen veteran figures from various Anomalous Human World.

It was precisely because of this that the terrifying power and reputation of the Source of Qi, as well as Zhang Huaiyi's strength, were fully revealed in that battle.

Although, in the end, this old guy still died from the Tang Sect's Dan Shi.

Even so, it couldn't change the fact that Zhang Huaiyi possessed an extremely terrifying fighting ability.

To deal with Zhang Huaiyi, we would need to gather all the best fighters of the Quanxing Sect together to have any chance of contending with him.

As for letting him go alone...

Let's forget about it.

Xia Liuqing didn't believe that her strength was enough to challenge Zhang Huaiyi's fighting ability.

As for the fact that running away would violate the agreement with Lu Liang and be somewhat shameful...

Xia Liuqing could only say: How can you say that the Quanxing sect violated the agreement?

"I would not pluck even a single hair to benefit the world."

This is the doctrine of the Quanxing. In the Quanxing, selfishness is the root, and preserving one's own life is the most important thing.

When there's no danger, it's fine to lend a helping hand casually, but now he's being asked to risk his life to help Gong Qing achieve his wish.

If he helps him, wouldn't he be a fool?

Is Xia Liuqing an idiot?

Obviously not, how could an idiot live that long?

Xia Liuqing was not stupid at all; on the contrary, she valued her life very much.

Therefore, he never even considered fighting Zhang Huaiyi.

It's about saving his life, it's not shameful. He hasn't even won Jin Feng's heart yet, and he doesn't want to die.

Besides, it's just a small agreement, is it really that important?

Actually, that's not the case. If Gong Qing were to die, wouldn't the agreement be invalid?

When a person dies, the cause and effect cease.

He didn't think that Gong Qing, who wanted to harm Tian Jinzhong, could escape from Zhang Huaiyi's hands.

Therefore, after weighing the options in her mind, Xia Liuqing, with absolute rationality, directly suppressed her desire for the secret of resurrection and decided to retreat.

"Agreed. The Qi in this old man's body is very special. I can't absorb it. Moreover, his strength is too terrifying. I can't beat him, and I don't want to fight him."

Upon hearing Xia Liuqing's words, Baron quickly nodded in agreement.

He already knew he was no match for Zhang Huaiyi when Zhang Huaiyi unleashed his power, so he had already planned to retreat.

I haven't moved because I'm not confident I can escape on my own.

Upon hearing Xia Liuqing's suggestion, he immediately considered it and readily agreed to Xia Liuqing's plan.

In his view, even if the two of them were no match for the other, they would still have no problem escaping.

So, after the two of them discussed it, Xia Liuqing spoke up:

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore. I can't beat you, although I don't know why you old ghost crawled out of the ground."

However, the more you know, the sooner you die; this old man is well aware of that.

Besides, Jin Feng hasn't eaten dinner yet, and I have to bring her food later.

I won't get involved in this. Can we leave now?

After Xia Liuqing finished speaking, Zhang Huaiyi gave him a speechless glance:

What are you pretending for?

We're all ancient foxes, why are you trying to play these ghost stories with me?

If you chickened out, so be it. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss? Making excuses? Ugh, shameful.

However, Zhang Huaiyi wasn't Mind's Eye. He didn't voice his thoughts aloud. Instead, he gazed at Xia Liuqing and the other person for a moment before smiling and saying:

"Please feel free to do as you please, but I hope that when we go out later, I won't see you two again on Mount Longhu."

Otherwise, things won't turn out well.

"Yes, yes, we'll come down the mountain right now and we definitely won't stay on the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xia Liuqing smiled and said.

After receiving Zhang Huaiyi's consent, Xia Liuqing and Baron exchanged a glance.

They then ignored Gong Qing and the other man and ran towards the back gate in perfect unison.

Before long, the two figures disappeared completely into the forest, leaving no trace.

(Because, in the original story, neither Baron nor Xia Liuqing are particularly evil people; they give people a sense of being both righteous and wicked.)

Moreover, Xia Liuqing's twilight romance is quite interesting, and I'd like to add another storyline to it later.

Therefore, my plan is that these two will be recruited by the state later and become its citizens, so I won't kill them here.

"Next, it's your turn, the two of you."

After driving away Baron and Xia Liuqing, Zhang Huaiyi turned his attention to Gong Qing and Lu Liang, who were standing uneasy.

At this moment, the indifference in Zhang Huaiyi's eyes was gone.

His eyes were burning with fury.

Under Zhang Huaiyi's gaze, the two men felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
