Position

Chu Qing didn't know what Xia Wanshuang was thinking, and in fact, he didn't really take her seriously at all.

Women, for him at this stage, were like fleeting clouds.

He certainly wouldn't actually demand that reward.

For him, the most important thing was the system's reward.

If only I had met this Xia Wanshuang earlier, then wouldn't Mei Qianluo and Ge Jingchun have also become my rewards?

And the only problem now was how to find Cheng Sihai.

Thinking this, Chu Qing walked over, picked up Ge Jingchun, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Xia Wanshuang was startled.

"Where are you going?"

"Miss, I am a very fair person. I only ask for payment after I've killed the person."

Chu Qing didn't turn his head.

"So I won't be staying here tonight."

Is that what I meant?

Xia Wanshuang couldn't help but ask, "You're leaving, what about me?"

"Figure it out yourself."

Chu Qing said as he walked, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the darkness.

Xia Wanshuang stared blankly as Chu Qing vanished from sight, speechless for a moment.

Although she knew clearly that she and Chu Qing were strangers and he had no reason to help her... the problem was, she had made that kind of deal with him, and he wasn't even willing to help her up?

At least get her out of danger, right?

"Heartless... cold... hateful!"

Xia Wanshuang muttered as she struggled to her feet. After glancing at Mei Qianluo's headless corpse, she picked up her sword from the ground and limped out of the courtyard.

It wasn't until she had walked far away that Chu Qing finally emerged from the darkness.

He turned to look at the courtyard, then at Ge Jingchun.

"Looks like there really were only the two of you here. What a shame..."

Ge Jingchun felt a chill run down his spine.

This guy really wasn't a good person. He deliberately left early to use Xia Wanshuang to test if there were any other lookouts around.

If there were, he could follow the trail and find Cheng Sihai.

If not... he wouldn't lose anything.

Where did this person come from?

That night, at the Chu Family.

When Chu Qing appeared before Chu Tian, carrying Ge Jingchun like a corpse.

Chu Tian was startled.

His first reaction was that Chu Qing had caused trouble outside and was looking for him to help dispose of the body!

But when he saw who was lying on the ground, Chu Tian's expression became very serious.

"Ge Jingchun of the Divine Sand Gang? What happened?"

Ge Jingchun was completely unconscious at this point. He had lost a lot of blood and was severely injured.

That he was still alive was a testament to his strong internal energy and vitality.

Chu Qing nodded, casually picked up the teapot from the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Besides him, there's also Mei Qianluo."

He briefly recounted what had happened that night.

"Wen Rou was poisoned? Plum Blossom Needles..."

Chu Tian gave Chu Qing a strange look.

"That girl does like to pick up all sorts of random things. I didn't expect it to bring her such danger."

"Exactly. You should tell Second Brother to persuade her to stop picking up everything like it's a treasure..."

Remembering how she had picked up his bowl earlier, Chu Qing felt a bit speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Chu Fan's junior sister, Chu Qing might have even considered killing her to silence her.

"...I heard he tried to persuade her."

Chu Tian chuckled,

"Her master said the same thing... but it doesn't seem to do any good."

"Speaking of which, what's this girl's background?"

Chu Qing asked,

"Can she really tell the difference between people just by their scent?"

"It's not just about scent..."

Chu Tian said,

"I asked your second brother earlier, and he said this Miss Wen has a special constitution.

"It's been like this since she was born.

"Moreover, this Miss Wen comes from a prominent background and originally didn't need to be sent to the Great Easy Sect to learn martial arts... It's just that when she was little, she would always find her father's hidden stash of money and hand it over to him in front of her mother.

"Over time, her father... well, in Miss Wen's words, 'rage boiled in his heart, and evil grew in his guts,' so he actually sent her to the Great Easy Sect."

"..."

Chu Qing thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood the despair of Wen Rou's father.

He shook his head and changed the subject,

"Big brother, you need to do something for me."

"Speak."

Chu Tian walked up to Ge Jingchun, took his pulse to check, and after a moment of contemplation, took out a small bottle from his怀里 and put a pill into his mouth.

"Find a few sharp people to keep an eye on his residence."

Chu Qing said,

"Most likely, we can follow the clues and find Cheng Sihai."

Chu Tian turned back and looked at Chu Qing,

"What about Mei Qianluo?"

"Dead."

"Should I handle the rest?"

Chu Tian asked tentatively.

Chu Qing shook his head decisively,

"You can handle the four protectors, but Cheng Sihai is mine."

"Why?"

Chu Tian was puzzled,

"Do you have some deep-seated hatred for him?"

"Someone paid me to kill him."

Chu Qing chuckled,

"Don't mess up my business."

Chu Tian nodded in realization,

"Alright.

"But are you confident facing Cheng Sihai alone?

"The [Mount Yue Tactic] he cultivates is not to be underestimated.

"How about I go with you?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment and didn't stand on ceremony,

"We'll see how it goes. If there are outsiders present, I'll handle it myself.

"If there's no one around, our brothers will kill him together."

"Good."

Chu Tian agreed again.

Seeing that Chu Tian agreed to all his requests, Chu Qing couldn't help but feel complicated. He waved his hand,

"Alright, I'll be going now.

"Wen Rou was poisoned by the Plum Blossom Needles, I need to give her the antidote."

"Got it."

Chu Tian nodded and asked again,

"Aren't you going to take this opportunity to see Dad?"

"Right now, there are probably a lot of eyes on this place. If the old man suddenly comes back to life, he'll scare a few more people to death."

Chu Qing chuckled, saying,

"If we're going to scare someone, it should be someone like Gu Qianqiu. These pawns aren't worth using such a powerful move on."

"Hahaha."

Chu Tian was amused by Chu Qing and could only nod.

"Alright, be careful then.

"Oh, and if the opportunity is right, tell your second brother about your identity.

"So he doesn't keep running around like a headless fly... it's hard to watch."

Chu Qing considered for a moment.

"I'll see how it goes. Second brother can't hide anything. Not knowing about my situation might actually be better for him.

"Alright, I'm heading off."

Chu Tian didn't try to stop him. He watched as Chu Qing walked out of the courtyard, leaped into the air, and disappeared from view before turning to face Ge Jingchun.

The Divine Sand Gang appearing in Heavenly Dance City wasn't just unexpected for Chu Qing; it also completely bewildered Chu Tian.

And according to what Chu Qing had just said, the Falling Rain Hall was solely responsible for making this happen...

So what was Tang Yinfeng's stance, still locked up in the City Lord's Mansion's dungeon?

Why had he remained completely silent about it?

"Something he'd hide even at the cost of his life... was it really just for so-called fame and fortune?"

Chu Tian muttered to himself, then sighed.

"Looks like I won't be getting a good night's sleep tonight either."
