System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests-Chapter 47: Stance

Chu Qing didn’t know what was on Xia Wanshuang’s mind; in fact, he didn’t even care about Xia Wanshuang.

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

He wouldn’t really ask for this reward.

To him, the most important thing was the system’s reward.

If he had met Xia Wanshuang earlier, wouldn’t Mei Qianluo and Ge Jingchun have also become his rewards?

And now the only problem is, how should he find Cheng Sihai.

As Chu Qing thought about it, he went over and lifted Ge Jingchun up, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Xia Wanshuang hesitated:

"Where are you going?"

"Miss, I’m a fair person. I only ask for rewards after killing."

Chu Qing didn’t even turn his head:

"So I won’t be staying overnight at your place."

Is that what I meant?

Xia Wanshuang couldn’t help but ask:

"If you leave, what about me?"

"Figure it out yourself."

Chu Qing said as he walked away, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Xia Wanshuang stared blankly at Chu Qing’s disappearing figure, speechless for a moment.

Although she understood that they were strangers and Chu Qing had no obligation to help her... The problem was, they’d reached an agreement, and yet he wasn’t willing to lend a hand?

At least take her out of danger?

"Heartless... cold... damn!"

Xia Wanshuang mumbled as she struggled to get up, glanced at the headless corpse of Mei Qianluo, then picked up her sword from the ground and limped out of the courtyard.

Only after she had walked far away did Chu Qing reappear from the darkness.

He turned to look at the courtyard and at Ge Jingchun:

"Looks like it’s really just the two of you here. What a pity..."

Ge Jingchun felt a chill all over.

This guy really isn’t a good person. He deliberately left early to use Xia Wanshuang to test if there were any lookout around.

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

If there weren’t... he wouldn’t lose anything either.

Where on earth 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 thought was that Chu Qing had gotten into trouble outside and was here for help in covering up the evidence!

But when he saw the person lying on the ground clearly, Chu Tian’s expression turned serious:

"Divine Sand Gang’s Ge Jingchun? What’s going on?"

Ge Jingchun had already completely fainted, having lost a lot of blood and suffered severe injuries.

To still be alive was testament to his strong inner power and vitality. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Chu Qing nodded, casually poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table:

"Other than him, there’s Mei Qianluo."

He briefly recounted the events of that night.

"Gentle was poisoned? Plum Blossom Needle..."

Chu Tian gave Chu Qing a strange look:

"That girl sure likes to pick up all sorts of things, but who’d have thought this would bring a deathly disaster."

"So, you should ask Second Brother to advise her not to treat everything she picks up as a treasure..."

Recalling that she once picked up his bowl, Chu Qing felt speechless.

Considering she was Chu Fan’s junior sister, otherwise, Chu Qing would have had thoughts of killing to silence.

"... I heard they’ve tried advising."

Chu Tian smiled and said:

"Her teacher also mentioned it... but it seems to have little effect."

"So, what kind of background does this girl have?"

Chu Qing asked:

"Can she really discern the scent on people clearly?"

"It’s not just as simple as smell..."

Chu Tian replied:

"I asked your Second Brother before, he said it’s a unique constitution of Miss Wen.

"Since birth, it’s been this way.

"Moreover, Miss Wen has quite a background, she didn’t really need to be sent to Taiyi Sect to learn martial arts... It’s just that when she was little, she kept finding her dad’s hidden stash of money and giving it to him in front of her mom.

"Gradually, her dad... uh, in Miss Wen’s words, ’anger rose from his heart, and evil grew from his guts,’ and he ended up sending her to Taiyi Sect."

"..."

Chu Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood Gentle’s father’s desperation.

He shook his head and switched topics:

"Brother, you need to help me with something."

"Speak."

Chu Tian approached Ge Jingchun, took his pulse, pondered for a moment, then took out a small bottle from his jacket, and fed a pill into Ge Jingchun’s mouth.

"Find a few smart ones to keep an eye on his residence."

Chu Qing said:

"There’s a good chance we can follow the trail to find Cheng Sihai."

Chu Tian looked back at Chu Qing:

"What about Mei Qianluo?"

"Dead."

"You handing the rest over to me?"

Chu Tian asked tentatively.

Chu Qing decisively shook his head:

"The four protectors can be handed over to you, but Cheng Sihai is mine."

"Why?"

Chu Tian was puzzled:

"What deep hatred do you have with him?"

"Someone paid me to kill him."

Chu Qing smiled:

"Don’t sabotage my business."

Chu Tian nodded in realization:

"Alright.

"But can you handle Cheng Sihai alone?

"His practice of the [Yue Mountain Technique] is not to be underestimated.

"How about I join you?"

Chu Qing thought for a bit and replied sincerely:

"Depends on the situation; if there’s someone else present, I’ll handle it myself.

"If no one’s there, we brothers can take him down together."

"Good."

Chu Tian agreed once more.

Seeing all his requests granted by Chu Tian, Chu Qing felt a complex mix of emotions and waved his hand:

"Alright, I’ll head out first.

"Gentle was poisoned by the Plum Blossom Needle, I need to deliver the antidote to her."

"Got it."

Chu Tian nodded and asked:

"Don’t seize the chance to see Dad?"

"There’s probably quite a few eyes watching here now, if the old man suddenly pops up, it’ll scare several to death."

Chu Qing said with a laugh:

"If scare them, let it be those like Gu Qianqiu, these vanguards aren’t worth using this big intimidation."

"Hahaha."

Amused by Chu Qing’s words, Chu Tian nodded:

"Alright, be careful.

"And if you find a suitable opportunity, reveal your identity to your Second Brother.

"Save him from being like a headless fly all day... it’s hard to watch."

Chu Qing pondered for a moment:

"We’ll see, Second Brother isn’t good at keeping secrets, not knowing my matters could be for the best.

"Alright, I’m off."

Chu Tian didn’t stop him, watching as Chu Qing left the courtyard, leapt up, and disappeared from view before he turned back to Ge Jingchun.

The appearance of Divine Sand Gang in Celestial Dance City not only surprised Chu Qing but also left Chu Tian bewildered.

And according to Chu Qing, this was all orchestrated by Luoyu Hall...

Now, Tang Yinfeng, still in the City Lord’s Mansion cell, what exactly is his stance?

Why has he always refused to speak?

"Even if it costs his life, to conceal it... is it really just for fame and fortune?"

Chu Tian murmured to himself, then sighed:

"Tonight, another sleepless night."
