Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Joyful Yu He, Crimson Gang, Divine Marionette Pellet
’’ Sister Yu, come sit here! ’’
Qing Shui pulled Yu He over and sat him down. He then ordered the server to prepare two plates and a pair of chopsticks.
Yu He was a little stunned, but he also understood when he started to have feelings for this little man. Maybe now, he was no longer the young man in the past.
Thinking of when he met her for the first time, her misleading reasoning attracted him. Moreover, he was also a bastard and even received the benefits from him over and over again in an unfair manner.
’’Is old man still okay?’ ‘Ask Qing Shui. Yu He was a bit distracted, but he smiled.
’’ Grandpa is fine. Is everything going well? ’
Qing Shui knew what he meant by his question. After all, when he had previously gone to the Yan Clan, Yu Donghao and Yu He had also seen him. Qing Shui smiled as he nodded.
’’Are you leaving Hundred Miles City soon?’ ‘Yu He calmed his mind and looked at Qing Shui.
After Qing Shui poured the wine he replied, ’’ I am still unclear. Let's talk about it after the new year. I might leave because I have so much to do. ’
He was no longer the young man who had just come from Hundred Miles City. He was now a tiger who climbed a mountain and wanted to roar proudly throughout the forest. He was a huge dragon that rose into the sky and wanted to roam around.
He feels that/that he is getting further and further away from her. He could not successfully pursue his presence. Thinking about her husband earlier, she remembered that/it was she did not return all night when they were married. However, on the second day when he returned, he was already dead.
They were young at the time and had no feelings for each other. That was the reason why he felt nothing when he died. However, due to his clan status, and the fact that/that Yu Donghao was seriously injured, he felt his life would be very miserable since his marriage contract could not be removed.
It was Qing Shui who had let grandfather recover his cultivation level and let him clear his marriage contract unhindered. But now, she discovered that/that her heart was entirely hers.
Although it is full of difficulties, there is also happiness.
’’Suster Yu, what will you do in the future?’ ‘Qing Shui seemed to ask as he wanted.
Hearing Qing Shui's words, Yu He smiled bitterly. He looked at her seriously and replied, ” Decisions are no longer important. In the past, my decision was only for one person. But now, it doesn't matter. ’
’’What if, by any chance, it's not what you think it is? What if that person is waiting for you? ” Qing Shui looked at Yu He seriously.
Yu He's body shook helplessly as he looked at Qing Shui's clear eyes. They were still as clear as before and still so handsome. Seeing the warm smiling expression allowed him to discover some previously familiar feelings.
His eyes slowly became wet. However, they carried a piece of happiness and charm as they looked at Qing Shui. He exerted all his strength as he nodded his head. Tears were dripping down his face.
Qing Shui stretched out his hand and gently wiped his tears. Sensing her delicate skin, so soft and delicate without any makeup, her face slowly turned red.
……
When Qing Shui was walking home, he was still thinking about Ye He's split words.
’’ Qing Shui, I will wait for you forever! ’’
Qing Shui was stopped by one person as he was about to reach the house. It was a brave and cold man. Qing Shui could already feel the bandit aura of this person at first glance.
Not only was he a mighty man, he was also extremely tall. The expression on his face was stiff and silent. Closely closed lips make people feel they have a lot of personality and discipline.
Qing Shui looked at this big fellow doubtfully.
’’Can we talk for a minute?’ ‘The man asked straightforwardly.
Qing Shui knitted his brows. Judging from his request, he definitely knew about Qing Shui. After thinking deeply for a while, Qing Shui nodded and walked towards the quiet street nearby.
’’Why are you looking for for me? And who are you? ” Ask Qing Shui.
’Pak, I assume that/that you know about Crimson Gang. Oh, someone else called us Crimson Gang.... ’’The cold man's answer. He looked like he was reading Qing Shui's expression.
Qing Shui already knew a few things about the Crimson Gang. After all, the Qing Clan at one point also sent money to them. However, contrary to what people expected, Qing Shui had no opinion on the Crimson Gang.
It was the nature of bandits to care nothing and hurt their opponents at all costs. Therefore, the stronger the gang of bandits, the fewer people there would easily act against them. If they put a hand on them, they should catch everything in one net. Otherwise, it would cause endless trouble. The bandits also base themselves in the World of the Nine Continents by relying on the words ’’ Fierce ’’ and ’Absolute’.
Qing Shui looked at the cold man calmly and he narrowed his eyes slightly. He forced a sharp look at his opponent. The intimidating aura slowly pushed him away. Qing Shui did not hold any killing intent in his eyes at all.
It was only for a moment and the cold man was already drenched in sweat. However, she still locked eyes with Qing Shui. Eyes firm. Even though both of his legs were already shaking, he still held on.
Qing Shui never thought that/it this person would have such steadfast and persistent wisdom that reminded him of the Green Wolf Gang. He was thinking about a teenager named Qing Lang. Unfortunately, there was no news about him. Originally, he was still thinking of making the Green Wolf Gang stronger. However, now he thinks that/that they should have left, or maybe there is another reason. In life, there will be many people coming and going. Qing Shui, who had lived as a human for two generations, had long accepted that ominous fact.
’’Say. Why did you come looking for me? Oh yeah, you haven't told me who you are yet, ” Qing Shui asked gently as he drew an intimidating aura.
When Qing Shui's aura was drawn, the cold man immediately felt like he had dropped a mountain. Suddenly, he fell to the ground.
’’Thank you, sir, for holding back. I'm the second person in charge of the Crimson Gang. I'm Li Hong. This time, I came here to tell you that/that there is someone who wants to hurt you, ” Li Hong said hurriedly and stood up.
’’Bos You.’ ‘Qing Shui suddenly smiled.
In reality, Qing Shui had barely experienced this kind of incident. Usually, people who take the risk to come here will come up with an attractive offer. For example, to take over as boss. He had heard this kind of story many times before, but he never thought that/that he would look for it himself today.
’’ How do you know? So you already know that? ’’Li Hong looked at Qing Shui in shock.
Qing Shui looked at Li Hong's strange gaze, not knowing if it was acting up. Qing Shui thought that/it doesn't matter what the purpose is, this person must have taken a huge risk. Seeing this fellow was also calm, he might not be an honest person.
It was just that before, he was extremely afraid of her. After all, killing him now would be easy and could be done in just a few moments.
’’Say. What's your purpose in doing this? Is it for the boss position? ” Qing Shui asked as he calmly looked at Li Hong.
Qing Shui knitted his brows. Since this person was the leader of five thousand people, he should be a warrior at the peak of the Xiantian Realm. So much so that he could possess the strength of a Martial King, or perhaps even a high-level Martial King warrior. On the other hand, clans who would rather retreat to this place to chase after them could also be extremely formidable. That was why they did not dare to be so tall. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to walk roughly and unreasonably in the Cang Lang Country. Of course, if they met a hermit, they would have bad luck.
’You kirabahwa/that you will be able to save all your people if you come and look for me? ” Asked Qing Shui while remaining calm and collected.
Li Hong shook his head. ’’At least I have tried my best. Also, don't look down on the boss. He's a poison maker. The poison he made was very powerful. ’
’’Do you want to be the boss?’ ‘Ask Qing Shui.
The cold man was shocked. He smiled and said, ” Actually, ever since the members in the Crimson Gang were chased by others, they wanted to live a normal life. Entering the sect might be easy, but if they thought of leaving, it would be as hard as ascending to heaven. I've had enough of a life like this where we have today but no tomorrow. Even becoming an adventurer on a large continent was better than this. ’
” Exactly, I asked if you want to be the boss. If you become the boss, can't you do what you want? Isn't it up to you do you want to fire or reorganize the Gang? ” Qing Shui asked again with a smile.
Li Hong looked at Qing Shui with a fiery look. ’Master, are you serious?’
” Of course, but I hope you can promise me some things, ” Qing Shui said after thinking for a while.
At that moment, Li Hong was already very happy. The insanely pleasant expression made Qing Shui slightly knit his brows. Unfortunately, Li Hong did not see it.
Li Hong knew that/that the boss's initial goal was to let Qing Shui be his patron. However, she knew that/it Qing Shui might not approve of her. That was why he wanted to use the ‘’pellet Marionette Divine’ that he had accidentally obtained to fully control Qing Shui. However, she never thought that/it was on this day, she would get Qing Shui to like her. Judging from the situation, obtaining his protection seemed to be very possible.
’Pak, feel free to say it, I will promise you anything,’ said Li Hong hurriedly.
’’In the future, after you become the boss, I do not expect you will cause a solicitation nearby. And also, if you obtain any information, you can tell me. Of course, I will reward you to a certain extent. ’
’’You don't need to give me an award. I'll definitely do as you say, ’’ Li Hong nodded when answering with certainty.
’Pak, in addition to refining that poisonous medicine, Wu Yitian also accidentally obtained another pellet known as’ ’pelet Marionette Divine’. He was able to completely control the people or demonic beasts that engulfed him as long as their strength was below Martial Saints. ’
As she heard Li Hong's words, Qing Shui was shocked. Nothing can be done about these things. However, Qing Shui still looked at Li Hong with doubt. ’Then why didn't he use this divine Marionette's pellet’ on that person or demonic beast? ’
Li Hong, on the other hand, replied unhurriedly, ” All this time, he had always hated to use ‘’pelet Marionette Divine’. At first, he wanted to look for a demonic beast. Although he might find some, they all failed. Furthermore, quite a number of people also died. That was why he had set his attention on others. However, he was unable to find a suitable candidate in such a short period of time. To those famous experts, he also had no chance. ’
Qing Shui thought for a moment and felt that it also made sense. How can pellets be delivered so easily to an expert's mouth?
’’Oh, then this time, how did Wu Yitian decide to let me take the medicine?’ ‘Ask Qing Shui in uncertainty.
” Recently, he perfected a poisonous medicine, which is very powerful. It has no color or taste. He wanted to first poison you, then make you take the Divine Marionette Pellet and the antidote after that. ’
Li Hong's words made Qing Shui feel a little nervous. But then, he thought of his valiant body and his expansive vital energy as well as the Five Dragon Pellets he still had as reserves. Nevertheless, there was still a bit of lingering fear because if there was a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
’’You mean coming today not just to tell me all this, right?’ ‘Qing Shui smiled as he looked at Li Hong.
’’Actually, the reason I came today is to invite you there.’ ‘When Li Hong said this, he felt a little uneasy.
After all, Wu Yitian was also like a brother to him. It was only that ever since the Crimson Gang became strong, he had stopped listening to his opinion. If he had listened last time, the death of around four thousand five hundred disciples could have been avoided.
Li Hong knew that/that if he brought Qing Shui there this time, Wu Yitian's life would no longer exist. As he thought about it, he helplessly sighed. ’’Let several thousand disciples die in vain more than his own will.. This time, it was considered as an explanation for them.’
Although her voice was soft, Qing Shui could still hear her and once again knit his brows.
Qing Shui looked at the sky, it was still noon. Seeing that there was still time, he nodded towards Li Hong.
After riding the beast wagon that Li Hong had specially prepared, they headed straight towards the Parallel Mountain.
’’When I first came, how did Wu Yitian make you approach me?’ ‘Qing Shui asked with a smile as he saw Li Hong driving the carriage. Originally, there was a wagon driver, but Li Hong insisted on driving it himself.
’’Actually, he didn't say anything to me. Usually, I am the one who thinks about this kind of incident. But usually, he would tell me about the things that followed up so that I would be able to handle them better. ’
’’Then, if your motive was just to let me climb up the mountain, what method would you use?’ ‘Ask Qing Shui, still smiling brightly.
Li Hong was already sweating.
’’I'll say that/that there's business I have to do with you. I might as well trick you into the mountain because of the problem about Parallel Mountain ... ’.
Looking at Li Hong who was already humming and raving, Qing Shui said softly, ” However, the method is not as efficient, safe, reliable, or beneficial compared to the one you use, is it? This way, I can let you go as you wish. Your wish will also be achieved. It not only helps you fight for the opportunity to live, but gives you a position to manage the household. However, if I am poisoned by Wu Yitian and turned into a puppet, your mission will also be accomplished perfectly, putting you in an attacking or retreating position while offering an opportunity, am I right? ’
Suddenly, Li Hong limped on the trunk. He looked at the young man who was smiling a little. From start to finish, Qing Shui gave her a peaceful feeling, even after the tricks he played. Or maybe, he didn't really play any tricks because they were actually vague. It's just that he didn't think that/it was going to be exposed by the person right on his face.
’’Master, I don't ...’ ‘Li Hong is currently feeling very scared. He was fully aware that/it Qing Shui could kill him in an instant.
’’Are you sure I'll kill you now?’
Although Qing Shui said these words softly, the peaceful sound was like an explosive mine beside Li Hong's ear. His body trembled as it crawled towards Qing Shui on the shaft.
’’Do you know the kind of people I hate the most?’
’’Master, I'm sorry ....’ ’
’’For someone like you, I'll cut you right away. But why would you want to deny it now but then admit it again? This time, I won't kill you. Cut your own fingers. ’
’’Thanks, Sir ....’’.
After a depressed snort, Li Hong cut off the thumb on his left hand.
Li Hong lowered his head. His face was pale. His eyes were filled with hatred. However, at the moment when he raised his head, only a face with a strong smile remained. Those ten fingers are connected to our hearts, even a soldier would feel extremely painful.
