Liang City was divided into three cities: the inner city, the outer city, and the inner city. The inner city was where the city lord and the nobles lived. The middle city lord was a martial artist, and the outer city was mostly made up of ordinary people.
Before nightfall, Qin Shuang and the rest checked into an inn named 'Four Quarts'.
In a room with the name 'Heaven', Qin Shuang was sitting alone on a couch, meditating.
Tonight, Qin Shuang did not cultivate her inner force cultivation method. Instead, she held her breath and focused on comprehending and absorbing the gains and losses from the previous battle.
As the saying went, the master led the way, but the cultivation depended on the individual.
To be honest, when she was fighting Chu Peng earlier, Qin Shuang was more nervous and uneasy when Chu Peng used the Five Tigers Breaking the Door Blade Technique.
Of course, this was within reason. After all, this was the first time Qin Shuang had a life and death battle with someone.
What made Qin Shuang feel slightly incredulous was that the Bright Jade Technique actually had another hidden effect, which was an early warning.
When Qin Shuang touched the acupuncture point on his right wrist to absorb the energy, he actually had a premonition that there was a pair of armbands hidden on Chu Peng's arm. That was why he took defensive measures in advance.
If not for this, Qin Shuang would definitely not have escaped death today.
"A soldier who has never been on the battlefield will never be a qualified soldier. Now, it seems that actual combat is the best way to improve one's strength and experience in the martial world.”
Qin Shuangruo had comprehended the Dao.
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Jin Ling also reminded,"Congratulations, master, for triggering the random mission 'Kill Chu Peng'. You are required to kill Chu Peng within three days. [Mission completed. The system will randomly reward you with a sword technique.] If the mission fails, the system will automatically deduct one-fifth of the master's spiritual cultivation.”
As soon as Jin Ling finished speaking, Xue Antian suddenly knocked on the bedroom door.
"Bang, bang…Young Master Shuang, I have something to ask for.”
"Boss Xue, come in."
"Young Master Shuang, according to your request, I have already brought people to help Qing Zhu bury her father.”
"Qingzhu? Is that the name of that woman?"
"Young Master Shuang, that's right. She heard from Qing Zhu that she and her father depended on each other for survival. They usually sang for a living, but because they met Chu Peng a few days ago, she was killed. Now that Qing Zhu had no one to rely on, she refused the silver taels that her subordinates gave her. Instead, she wanted to serve Young Master Shuang as a slave.”
After Xue Antian explained the ins and outs of the matter, Qin Shuang did not respond immediately. Instead, she took the initiative to leave the bedroom.
In a flash, Qin Shuang brought Xue Antian to the living room.
Seeing Qin Shuang come to the living room, Qing Zhu, who had been silent all this while, first knelt on the ground. Then, she begged,"Thank you, Young Master, for burying my father for me. I have nothing to repay you for. I am only willing to serve you as a slave.”
As Qing Zhu spoke, Qin Shuang was also silently looking at her.
Previously, Qing Zhu was covered in dust and dirt, so Qin Shuang did not see her appearance clearly. Now that Qing Zhu had washed up, Qin Shuang realized: "So Qingzhu is really a beauty. Her body is full of curves. If not for that, Chu Peng wouldn't have fought for her.”
After Qing Zhu finished speaking, Qin Shuang fell into deep thought.
Although Qing Zhu was a beauty, Qin Shuang did not have any improper thoughts about her.
"Now that Qingzhu's father has died tragically, she has no one to rely on, and she has offended Chu Peng. If we chase her away, I'm afraid her future will be filled with misfortune.”
As she thought of this, a thought automatically appeared in Qin Shuang's mind when she saw Xue Antian beside her.
"Ahem, Boss Xue, do you have any ideas?”
"Reporting to Young Master Shuang, this lady's life is full of troubles, and now she's met with misfortune.”
"Haha, in that case, this young master will be a matchmaker today. Qing Zhu, are you willing to serve Boss Xue?”
The moment Qin Shuang's words left his mouth, Xue Antian, who had heard it, was first secretly shocked. He then knelt down and said nervously,""Young Master Shuang, Xue Antian is a pugilist, and his movements are unpredictable.”
"Men should get married when they are of age, and women should get married when they are of age. Although Qingzhu was born poor, selling herself to bury her father was proof of her loyalty. In addition, Qingzhu's appearance is delicate and pretty. It's not an exaggeration to call her a beauty. She's more than enough to match you, Boss Xue.”At this point, Qin Shuang said to Qing Zhu,""Qing Zhu, Boss Xue is a martial artist in the pugilistic world. He has killed many people and has many enemies, but he doesn't have any hobbies such as debauchery. If you agree, I'll help you two make this marriage happen.”
There were two reasons why Qing Zhu stayed behind. Firstly, Qing Zhu valued friendship. Qin Shuang had helped her, so she wanted to keep her promise. Secondly, Qing Zhu knew that she could not continue to live on alone, so she needed someone to rely on.
Even though Qingzhu was born in poverty, she did not want to be a slave unless she had no other choice. Now that Qin Shuang had taken the initiative to facilitate marriage, it was a great thing for Qingzhu.
"Reporting to Young Master, if, if Hero Xue doesn't despise this servant, this servant is willing to serve him for the rest of my life.”
"This? Miss Qingzhu, me?"
"Eh? Boss Xue, is this still you? Didn't you usually brag about how heroic you were? Why are you stuttering now? Whether it succeeds or not, it's up to you.”
After saying that, Qin Shuang left in large strides.
……
What Qin Shuang didn't know was that just as he was helping Big Boss Xue and Qing Zhu achieve a happy marriage, Chu Peng had also brought his guards back to the city lord's mansion.
"Pa, pa…"
"Good-for-nothings, a bunch of good-for-nothings. You can't even deal with a gigolo. What's the use of this young master raising you?”
Chu Peng cursed as he vented his anger on the guards.
After a while, seeing that Chu Peng's anger had subsided, a guard mustered his courage and came forward.
"Reporting to the young city lord…"
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Young City Lord, that pretty boy does have some martial arts. Although we are not his match, you only need to move your finger and he will not leave Liang City alive.”
"Hmm? This is true, but father said that Xiong Ba's eldest disciple, Qin Shuang, is about to rush to Liang City, so he told me to restrain myself. What should he do if he could not mobilize the guards in the city?”
"Young city lord, although we can't mobilize guards, what about those Japanese?”
"Japanese? That's right, why didn't I think of that? Humph! These Japanese people usually eat and drink in my city lord's residence, and I hate them just by looking at them. I can use this opportunity to test their abilities.”
……
At midnight, a group of men in black quietly sneaked into the Square Inn.
In an empty corner.
"Chi Song-kun, the target has been locked. Do you want to move?”
"Hmm? Don't alert the enemy. Move quickly and cleanly. Leave immediately after taking care of the target. Hmph, Chu Peng actually dared to treat our Dongying's forbearance like a servant. If the Palace Master wasn't planning on the martial arts world in China, he wouldn't have been able to do this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke rose and the two of them disappeared into thin air.
