Li Chengqian didn't even want to dodge. His gaze was fixed on the short knife that was flying toward him.
"Clang!"
The dagger stabbed into the tree trunk beside him with a clang, and the shiny blade trembled.
"The strength is not small, but the accuracy is too poor. No wonder it became like this.”
Li Chengqian looked at the beautiful woman and commented with his eyes lowered.
He pulled out the short knife from the tree trunk and noticed that there was a special flower mark on it.
"Who are you? Why is there blood on your saber?!”He looked at the woman and asked.
The woman was already exhausted after the attack, and the wound on her back opened up again.
"You pervert, you peeked at me twice. I wish I could kill you!”
Her eyes were burning with anger, but her body could no longer move.
"So you know…You can't say that. I didn't look at it on purpose. You're the one who's always so mysterious, which is why I'm investigating.”
Li Chengqian's expression did not change, and he was very calm.
" Then it's still my fault?!" Gu Youxuan widened her eyes with difficulty.
"Your understanding is quite correct.”
"You!"
Gu Youxuan was so angry that her wounds started to crack!
"You're shameless!"
Ding, ding, ding!
Li Chengqian knocked his white teeth and squinted." Did you see it clearly? My teeth are fine. Don't you have eyes to say that I have no teeth?"”
Li Chengqian was deliberately teasing this arrogant and cold woman. He wanted her to pester him here and anger her to death!
Gu Youxuan was really going to die of anger!
This man did not have the heroic spirit on the surface. He was shameless and scum!
Gu Youxuan didn't have time to pester him.
"Give me back the knife and leave immediately. There are some things that you can't touch.”
She regained her coldness and said calmly.
Li Chengqian shook his head." The more you say this, the more I want to get in touch with you. Tell me!"”
"You!"
Gu Youxuan frowned deeply." You really want to know? Alright, I'll tell you!"
"I just killed a leopard. The blood on the saber is leopard blood, and the injuries on my body were also scratched by a leopard! This is the current situation!"
Li Chengqian opened his eyes. Wasn't this woman spouting nonsense? How could a leopard scratch such a wound?!
"Anyway, that's the situation!"
Gu Youxuan looked at Li Chengqian." You wouldn't be so free that you want to bring me to see the officials, right? I don't think you're that enthusiastic."”
Li Chengqian was indeed not that free.
It seemed that the thorns on this beautiful woman were indeed sharp enough. He would not be able to get anything out of her today.
If this continued, this woman would bleed to death.
He sighed." Alright, I believe you, the female warrior who fought a leopard! I'll take this saber back as a souvenir. Don't worry, I'll return it to you at the rouge shop later!”
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes." If you weren't there…I would have given this knife to my friend and let everyone hear about this interesting miracle!”
"You're shameless!"
Gu Youxuan was so angry that her delicate body trembled. It seemed like she only knew how to curse.
Li Chengqian didn't want to waste any more words and left first.
With this dagger in hand, he was not afraid that the woman would run away.
Gu Youxuan's expression changed for a long time, and her face became even paler.
In the end, she could only leave helplessly. She had to heal her injuries. Otherwise, she would not be able to get over this hurdle!
Li Chengqian returned very quickly.
The mountain was not as safe as he had imagined. It was better for him to go back to Qiu Wansu.
Back on the mountain path, Qiu Wansu and her son didn't leave first, waiting for him to return.
Li Chengqian only went to the toilet for a while, so Qiu Wansu didn't ask much.
The mountain path was very wide. As they walked up, a vast open space gradually appeared in the lush forest on the mountainside.
On the empty ground was a newly renovated Taoist temple. This was the Shuiqing Temple.
Good as water, Sanqing Hongmeng, Shuiqing Temple!
This place was indeed filled with mystery and elegance. It was already past noon, but there was still mist shrouding it.
There were some visitors coming in and out of the temple, burning incense and praying, which also added a lot of incense smoke to this cold mountain.
The mist and smoke blended together, making the entire dojo even more hazy!
The four of them entered the dojo and were greeted by a young Taoist priest.
After learning of Princess Qiu Wansu's identity and purpose of visit, he respectfully asked them to wait for a moment while he went to invite the head!
Not long after, the head came out.
This was a middle-aged dojo master with a rather wise demeanor.
He was about forty years old and wore a green Daoist robe.
His eyes seemed to contain a deep and profound aura, and he had a calm and reserved temperament.
"Princess, madam, my two young friends, this poor priest greets you!”
He greeted everyone in a flawless manner.
Li Chengqian did not reveal his true identity, so he only called him little friend.
The four of them returned the greeting.
The head then brought Qiu Wansu and the other two to the mourning hall and placed Father Qiu's memorial tablet in the divine hall.
This was a solemn ceremony.
Li Chengqian naturally didn't go. He walked around the hall casually.
Why did the woman from before come here? Was it a coincidence?
Li Chengqian looked on casually.
"There's a secret chamber down here."
Walking to a certain depth of the dojo, Li Chengqian sensed that there was a hole below through the faint sound of footsteps.
He followed the steps to the other side and found that it was an open basement.
He shook his head and continued walking until he reached the other end of the dojo.
There was more smoke and there were traces of life on the ground.
At this moment, a little boy passed by. He bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian and said,
"Sir, this is the inner courtyard of the dojo. You can visit as you please outside the dojo.”
"Oh, okay."
Li Chengqian smiled and nodded before leaving.
He was already halfway through.
Not long after, Qiu Wansu and her brother came out with tears at the corner of their eyes.
Li Chengqian consoled them, but Madam Bai had not come out yet. She was bidding her husband farewell for the last time.
The three of them strolled around leisurely.
Li Chengqian had already confirmed that there was indeed something strange about Qingshui Temple!
The structure of the houses here was complicated, so it was easy to hide in a secret room.
However, his interest stopped there.
In this kind of place, dignitaries often came and went, and their relationships were complicated. Some secret actions were too normal.
Or rather, it would be abnormal if there wasn't!
He couldn't be bothered to find trouble!
By the time Madam Bai came out, she had already wiped her tears and could not see anything unusual.
The purpose of coming out had been achieved. Since it was still early, he was ready to go back.
It seemed that the road back was not suitable for walking. Fortunately, there were extra carriages available for rent in the Taoist temple. Li Chengqian planned to rent one and prepare to return to Chang 'an.
However, the carriages of the dojo could not be rented just because of money. They were prepared for people with status!
The young Taoist priest's reaction was cold.
At this moment, the dojo master walked over from the side. His solemn face appeared steady. He reprimanded the young Taoist priest slightly,
"How can you be rude to a guest? My temple's carriage is open to anyone who needs it.”
The young Taoist priest repeatedly agreed, then apologized to Li Chengqian and helped him with the procedures.
Li Chengqian held the wooden token of the horse and glanced at the dojo master.
Don't really believe that he was open to everyone…
Otherwise, the entire Clear Water Temple would have been emptied!
Li Chengqian pursed his lips. It seemed that his concealment was useless. The other party already knew his identity!
"In that case, thank you very much, Head." He thanked her and left.
"What a rude person!" The young Taoist priest muttered unhappily.
"Shut up, don't be rude!"
The head reprimanded him in a deep voice. He glanced at Li Chengqian and then returned to the temple.
Li Chengqian returned to Chang 'an, and the carriage gradually left the delicate mountains of the Clear Water Temple.
At this time, he still did not know that Chang 'an was already in a mess!
