Chapter 679: Chapter 371: Qianluo

"Is this really the time to be asking for names?"

The young woman almost laughed in anger, gritting her teeth as she spoke:

"Return my sword... to me."

"No rush, no rush."

Chu Qing shook his head:

"I have some things I want to ask you, Miss. Once we make things clear, it won’t be too late to return it."

But just at this moment, the girl’s pupils abruptly contracted.

The sound of something cutting through the air swiftly approached, targeting the man before her!

But he wore a full smile, clearly unaware of it at all.

The hidden weapon came too fast, even if she wanted to warn him, it was too late... she could only open her mouth and shout:

"You..."

Before the word could hit the ground, a flash of silver flickered and turned, followed by a muffled hum from the nearby bushes.

Chu Qing remained seated there, unharmed.

The girl’s words came to an abrupt halt, only to hear Chu Qing say:

"Miss hasn’t answered me yet, or is it inconvenient for you to tell your name?"

Wrong!

The girl suddenly realized she had misunderstood.

How the hidden weapon diverted, she didn’t see clearly, but the change clearly came from this man.

He turned out to be a hidden master with unimaginable skill!

When she first saw him in the teahouse, staring straight at her, she thought he had malicious intent, but when she looked up, finding beautiful women surrounding him, she assumed he was just a lustful philanderer, not worth her attention.

Later, when the assassin struck, they sat there unmoved. She thought they were scared stiff, having never experienced such a battle before.

When Sun Youxian attacked her by surprise, wounding her, she leaped onto a tree.

They came again... thought it was a coincidence, but now, it seems not.

Sun Youxian, who roamed underground fearlessly, why did he suddenly stop moving?

The change seemed to occur only after these people arrived.

These are likely not ordinary Jianghu People... the ones hidden nearby, they must have sensed them but just didn’t pay attention.

Thinking about this, her mindset calmed down.

She softly answered Chu Qing’s question:

"My name is Wenren Qianluo."

Qianluo... Blood Robe Thousand Fall.

Chu Qing’s heart couldn’t help but lament at his luck.

His gaze swept around the surroundings and then he spoke:

"Mirror of Sin issued a kill order a month ago.

"To kill a woman clad in blood-red, holding the Hidden Dragon Sword... so it was you."

Wenren Qianluo’s pupils shrank instantly:

"How do you know about the Mirror of Sin?"

"That’s precisely what I want to ask you."

Chu Qing’s gaze floated over, but when this light gaze landed on her, Wenren Qianluo only felt like two mountains suddenly burdened her shoulders!

The immense pressure almost made it hard for her to breathe.

Chu Qing spoke slowly again:

"Why do they want to kill you?"

Wenren Qianluo’s temples throbbed blue, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I want... I want to kill them... isn’t it natural for them to want to kill me?"

"You want to kill them?"

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, and Wenren Qianluo immediately felt some of the pressure lift from her shoulders.

Yet she couldn’t help but be startled.

How high must his Martial Arts prowess be if just one glance instilled an irresistible thought within her?

Does such a person with such high Martial Arts truly exist in this world?

Or... does he master a Secret Technique that imposes pressure on people?

While pondering in her heart, her mouth did not stop:

"Mirror of Sin... sanctimonious, say one thing and do another, a hundred deaths would not be enough to forgive their crimes.

"I want to kill them, what’s wrong with that?"

"And how do you know, Mirror of Sin is sanctimonious, says one thing, and does another?"

"... What does this have to do with you?"

Wenren Qianluo stared at Chu Qing, her eyes full of caution.

She no longer saw him as a lustful dandy, but this realization only heightened the level of danger she attributed to him.

Every word he spoke, every move he made, even every glance might conceal dangers she couldn’t comprehend.

Yet Chu Qing laughed:

"Right now, it’s my turn to ask questions, your turn hasn’t arrived yet... be patient.

"Tell me, what exactly is the grudge between you and the Mirror of Sin?"

Wenren Qianluo considered herself hard as iron-hearted, not someone who would be led by the nose by Chu Qing’s mere words.

But for some reason, she felt as if there was a massive persuasive power in Chu Qing’s words.

Involuntarily, her posture wavered:

"Twelve years ago... Mirror of Sin, with trumped-up charges, wiped out my entire family.

"For the past twelve years, I persevered in mastering Martial Arts to seek revenge against them."

This answer was not complicated.

Beside her, Su Ningzhen pondered aloud:

"Twelve years ago... and you bear the surname Wenren, could it be the sheep river Wenren lineage?"

Wenren Qianluo was momentarily stunned, revealing a rather bitter smile:

"I didn’t expect after twelve years, there’s still someone in the Martial World who knows of my Wenren lineage..."

Su Ningzhen sighed:

"When my master was alive, he often mentioned the Wenren lineage.

"Speaking of Wenren Zhongda, he frequently sighed with emotion."

"... Who may I ask is your master?"

"Xiangshan Sea, Sang Qingchen."

Wenren Qianluo nodded in sudden realization:

"So you’re from Xiangshan Sea’s school... Xiangshan Sea meeting such calamity is truly regrettable. I failed to recognize the senior sister earlier, I hope you won’t blame me."

"We are strangers, where’s the blame?"

Su Ningzhen shook her head, her gaze complex.

"This place doesn’t seem far from Sheep River?"

Chu Qing looked at her:

"So, where are you heading this time?"

"To return home and pay my respects."

Wenren Qianluo said softly:

"Though it’s far from Qingming Festival, I don’t know if I’ll live to see Qingming."
