Hearing this, Wu Qingkong finally understood.
So the young master he spoke of was Qian Qinghe's sister.
Since Qian Qinghe was the young master of the Qian Clan, his sister naturally held the same status.
Wu Qingkong had never been an arrogant person.
He felt that he had not even met Qian Qinghe's sister yet, so talking about this now was a little premature.
Everything could wait until they met!
Wu Qingkong said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Um... Senior, I actually haven't met Sister Xiaohe yet."
"I don't even know whether she'll take a liking to me."
After saying that, Wu Qingkong awkwardly shook his head.
Blood Thorn immediately laughed.
"Don't worry, kid. My young master has actually met you long ago."
"You just don't know it yet. She's quite satisfied with you, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to get to know you."
Wu Qingkong was somewhat surprised.
During his years of seclusion, he had not had much contact with the mysterious Heavenly Dou Qian Clan. Apart from Qian Qinghe, the only one he knew was the mysterious old man before him.
Other than that, he did not know any other members of the Qian Clan.
Wu Qingkong vaguely felt that Qian Qinghe's sister had taken a liking to him largely because of Qian Qinghe himself.
His good brother must have said plenty of good things about him!
At that moment,
Wu Qingkong only regretted that Qian Qinghe had not been born a woman. Otherwise, he truly would have wanted to marry Qian Qinghe himself.
Wu Qingkong silently made a decision.
He immediately stated his position.
"Senior, don't worry."
"As long as your young master thinks well of me!"
"Qingkong will never leave her side for the rest of his life!"
After hearing Wu Qingkong's words, Blood Thorn was instantly overjoyed and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha..."
His hearty laughter startled several birds deep in the forest into flight.
"Good, good boy."
"My young master truly did not misjudge you!"
"Kid, you're going to break off an engagement, right?!"
"Come on, kid. I'll take you to break it off."
"I'd like to see which old fool arranged this engagement for you. If he dares refuse to cancel it, I'll skin him alive."
Wu Qingkong immediately covered Blood Thorn's mouth.
"Senior, please watch your words!"
"The other family agreed to this engagement with my family out of goodwill back then. I am only seeking to break it off because of my own reasons."
"Please allow me to handle this personal matter myself."
"The other party's elder is an old friend of my grandfather's. He should not make things too difficult for me."
Hearing Wu Qingkong say this, Blood Thorn could only respond:
"Fine, then I'll spare that old bastard for now."
"If that old fool dares refuse to cancel the engagement, tell me. I'll go teach him a lesson."
"Senior, I appreciate your goodwill."
"Now that everything has been settled, you should head back if you have nothing else to do. Remember to tell Qinghe that I thank him for me!"
"I can handle the matter of breaking off the engagement myself."
"The other party is an old friend of my grandfather's. He shouldn't make things too difficult for me!"
Blood Thorn nodded and said, "Fine."
Over the past ten years, whenever Qian Qinghe came to see Wu Qingkong, Blood Thorn would follow from a distance.
He had also briefly met Wu Qingkong's grandfather several times.
The old man had left a deep impression on him.
Even now, he could not forget what it had been like when he first saw Wu Changming.
At that time, Wu Changming had cut an imposing figure, his whole person as sharp as a sword. Blood Thorn had been stunned after just one glance.
He had truly thought Wu Changming was some peerless expert living in seclusion.
Blood Thorn had investigated Wu Changming more than once, but every time, he had failed to detect any soul power.
Thus, Blood Thorn had only regarded Wu Changming as an ordinary person.
Back then,
when he disguised himself as a farmer and hoed the fields nearby, the two had run into each other and even played several games of chess.
Yet for some reason, he had never once beaten Wu Changming.
Though Blood Thorn had been impressed by Wu Changming's chess skills, he still believed Wu Changming was ultimately just an ordinary man.
Since it was an ordinary man's marriage agreement, the other side was most likely not all that formidable either.
After all, if they truly had some powerful backing, they were unlikely to take an interest in an ordinary old man.
Reality was not a novel!
The only thing Blood Thorn found somewhat regrettable was that Wu Changming had passed away on a summer day three years ago.
Strangely enough,
from the day Wu Changming died, the entire Heavenly Dou Empire had experienced heavy snow for three full days!
He had planned to seek out Wu Changming after the snow stopped and compete with him in chess again.
Yet after only a few days, a small grave had quietly appeared in the nearby farmland, and one cheerful old man was gone.
Blood Thorn glanced at Wu Qingkong. Recalling the way he had acted earlier, he pondered:
"With Wu Qingkong's current strength, he is more than capable of protecting himself. There shouldn't be any surprises when he breaks off the engagement."
Blood Thorn nodded.
"Fine then, kid!"
"Take care on the way to break off your engagement. I need to hurry back and report as well."
"If that old fool truly dares refuse to cancel it, come find me afterward. I'll knock his teeth out."
Wu Qingkong did not respond, merely smiling awkwardly.
"Senior, please hurry back!"
"I can really handle it."
"Once I finish what I need to do, please arrange for me to meet Sister Qinghe."
"To thank Qinghe for taking care of me all these years, I even specially prepared a gift for his sister."
"I want to give it to her personally when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Blood Thorn was immediately somewhat surprised.
He had actually prepared a gift for the young master?!
This good kid was truly thoughtful. Once the young master learned of it, she would surely be very happy.
I need to hurry and tell the young master this good news.
Blood Thorn immediately spoke up.
"Kid, after you break off the engagement, you must come back early!"
Wu Qingkong nodded.
"Senior, rest assured. Once I break off the engagement, I will return immediately."
Hearing Wu Qingkong's answer, Blood Thorn was relieved.
He then left the place.
Watching Blood Thorn depart, Wu Qingkong also let out a sigh of relief.
If he had truly let this senior accompany him to break off the engagement, he would have truly gotten him killed.
In his view, this mysterious senior was indeed powerful as a Titled Douluo, but Spirit Hall had more than one Titled Douluo.
In Spirit Hall, some low-ranking Titled Douluo could not even make a name for themselves.
A Level 92 Titled Douluo was very strong to outsiders, but to Spirit Hall, he was nothing remarkable. If he truly forced his way in to stand up for him, it would be no different from seeking death.
If he went alone to break off the engagement, relying on Wu Changming's reputation and his grandfather's friendship with Qian Daoliu,
there should not be any surprises. At worst, he could say some nice words, apologize, and concede a little.
Back then, his grandfather and Qian Daoliu had been extremely close. Otherwise, the two old men would not have arranged this marriage agreement.
As the grandson of an old friend, he believed Qian Daoliu would not make things overly difficult for him.
If this senior followed him, he truly feared that Qian Daoliu might get angry and, in a moment of lost control, slap this senior to death!
If the Qian Clan lost a Titled Douluo because of him, that would truly be a terrible loss.
Now, everything had been taken care of.
Wu Qingkong headed toward Spirit Hall at full speed.
"Spirit Hall, here I come."
"Eldest Young Lady of the Qian Clan, once I break off this engagement, I will come find you..."
