Chapter 677: Chapter 370: Lecherous?
Chu Qing reckoned that the girl must have misunderstood something, but he had no intention of explaining.
Nor did he immediately step forward to draw her sword to see if the words ’Hidden Dragon’ were inscribed on it.
With the appearance of this girl, the entire atmosphere in the teahouse had already changed.
The server approached with a cheerful smile to inquire, and the girl gave a few instructions. The server turned and left, returning with a tray in hand.
On it was tea and snacks.
Placing the items on the table, the server smiled and told the girl, ’Take your time, guest,’ then turned and walked away.
Chu Qing lowered his head, drank tea silently, and watched the situation unfold.
This teahouse is problematic...
Chu Qing had known this for some time.
Although he hadn’t been in the Martial World for long, just about a year,
his Martial Arts had grown rapidly, and he was no novice, so upon entering the teahouse, Chu Qing noticed that everything seemed peculiar.
But this peculiarity wasn’t directed towards them.
So Chu Qing didn’t take it to heart.
There are too many people striving for their own goals in the Martial World.
One can inadvertently encounter all kinds of events, and if taken seriously, one might get caught up in a whirlpool that isn’t their own.
Pretending ignorance can avoid many troubles.
As long as the establishment provides him with uncontaminated tea, food, and fodder for his horse, why should he care?
Unexpectedly, this group of people was targeting the girl.
The girl’s gaze had long shifted from Chu Qing, and with her skills, she did not notice Chu Qing always paying attention to her.
Even if she did notice, she probably wouldn’t care.
She would just think Chu Qing was a lecher, looking a bit longer at a pretty girl, which was a normal occurrence.
She simply lifted the teacup and took a sip.
Picked up the snacks and chewed in a large bite, her demeanor bold, without any hint of demure femininity.
Yet as she ate, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she shook her head.
Just as she was about to stand up, the clattering sound of chains suddenly came from the side.
In an instant, the girl’s arms were hooked by claws.
Simultaneously, cries rang out from behind her, revealing that two seemingly ordinary tea patrons had suddenly retrieved weapons from beneath the table, slashing down at her head.
Seeing the girl about to behead, seemingly powerless.
She then heard a sharp sound, and the long sword on her back suddenly unsheathed.
The intense wind was extraordinary; just as the person on the right approached, they were jolted by the True Qi, forcing them to stop. The person on the left veered around, changing the Saber Momentum from an upward chop to a diagonal slash.
But at this moment, the sound of clashing clanged beside the ear.
Before reacting to where the sound came from, the sword tip had already pierced through the throat, with blood dripping to the ground, staining it crimson.
Only then did he realize that the claws gripping the girl’s wrists had already shattered.
Those sounds came exactly from such an occurrence.
Swoosh!
As the long sword was withdrawn from his throat, the blade swiftly turned, slicing through another arm’s chain like cutting through butter.
At the same time, several figures swarmed from both sides.
The girl wielded the long sword, her body moving like a dragon, her sword veering instantly.
All happened and ceased within a fleeting thought...
Only to see the girl slowly sheathe her sword, and the newly emerged figures slowly fell to the ground, motionless.
The girl rummaged in her pocket, took out a small piece of broken silver, and placed it in the corner of the table.
Turning around, she continued on her way.
Only, seemingly or not, as she turned around, she glanced at Chu Qing again.
The mockery in her eyes was almost overflowing...
Chu Qing felt that she might have misunderstood something again.
However, it seemed there was still nothing to explain.
Not until the girl had gone far, did Wu Qianhuan smack his lips and say:
"Such swift Sword Technique... but compared to yours, it still falls short."
"Swift?"
Su Ningzhen looked at Chu Qing in confusion after hearing this.
The girl’s Sword Technique was swift; she understood it was indeed fast...
But how could Chu Qing’s Sword Technique be fast?
Clearly slow and deliberate.
Chu Qing stroked his chin:
"Let’s not worry about her... let’s eat, and continue on our journey once we’re done."
On the path of the Martial World, encountering bloodshed and murder is inevitable.
This group ambushed her and intended to kill her, so being killed by her in return was logical.
But just as she drew her sword a moment ago, Chu Qing indeed saw that her sword bore the words ’Hidden Dragon’.
Whether in attire or weaponry, everything precisely matched the description in Chu Tian’s letter.
It’s expected there wouldn’t be any mistake.
Moreover, the girl’s martial skills were indeed not weak.
Although her move was brief, her Sword Technique was fierce and swift like a thunderclap.
It was just a small test of her prowess, but it clearly showed her foundation.
Chu Qing estimated her Martial Arts were likely not inferior to the Little Blade King, Li Shengxing.
More impressively, she seemed immune to poison.
The tea and snacks the shop gave her had issues too.
She ate it genuinely... yet it had no effect on her.
This either indicated she used Inner Power to suppress the poison within her body, or her constitution was special, rendering the toxin ineffective.
Yet, were these skills enough for Mirror of Sin to be so persistent about her?
After pondering, Chu Qing felt perhaps they were worth it...
