Chapter 465 The Sudden Crisis
Naturally, Qin Wushuang had no idea. Could it be truly because of his short encounter with Miss Mu Rong? If that was the case, this Lord of the Floating Snow House was being an intolerable bully.
With the clamorous commentaries in the union, Qin Wushuang did not wish to remain any longer. He put down the cup of alcohol and left quickly with Bao Bao and Lone.
After the ruckus caused by the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect and the Floating Snow House, it had increased the difficulty level for Qin Wushuang’s travels in the Xuan Yuan Mound. Currently, he didn’t know whether he should be thankful for Captain Ke killing that talkative Iron Holler or condemn him for killing an innocent.
To Qin Wushuang, Iron Holler’s words would put him at a disadvantage. It was because Iron Holler had said clearly that Qin Wushuang had entered the Xuan Yuan Mound because of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.
This way, without a doubt, there would be more potential danger for them travelling through the Xuan Yuan Mound. Indeed to Qin Wushuang, this was a great trouble.
When they returned to the inn, Bao Bao still talked non-stop as clearly, he took troubles to heart. In his opinion, the way Mu Rong Qianji had acted was questionable, rubbing salt on Qin Wushuang’s wound.
Lone also swore: "He could not keep an eye on his daughter so he directed his anger at our boss. This Lord of the Floating Snow House might have great strength. Yet he does not have much morals as a human being!"
Bao Bao mumbled: "Boss, why do you think this Lord Mu Rong acted this way? Could it only be because you shared a close relationship with Senior Sister Mu Rong?"
Lone twitched his mouth: "How could it be about how close they are? Nothing happened between our boss and Miss Mu Rong, right?"
"I also think it this way. Could it be that Lord Mu Rong did it to prove his intentions to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect? If that’s the case, then he sure is a disappointment."
"Indeed he has been a thorough disappointment and takes unfair advantage!"
Hearing their continuous discussion, Qin Wushuang opened his mouth to ease their anxiety: "Don’t be so hasty to make a conclusion. I see that Miss Mu Rong’s father did not appear to have much hostility. If he truly was hostile, he only needed to add some rewards on top of the reward issued by the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect!"
His words had awakened Bao Bao as he slapped his thigh after some thinking: "That’s right. Lord Mu Rong had talked from beginning to end about wanting you alive. It seems that he does not plan to put our boss to death."
When he said here, Bao Bao chuckled: "Boss, I understand. Perhaps Lord Mu Rong also wants to see your moral quality and strength?"
"Is he picking a son-in-law?" As soon as Lone had heard this words, his gossiping nature was stirred as he came closer.
Qin Wushuang said in a discontented mood: "You and your two mouths sure like to gossip. Can you guys talk less?"
"Of course it’s possible to talk less. However, since we both have a mouth, wouldn’t we be undeserving of this mouth to not talk? Boss, in truth, let me ask you, how exactly do you feel about Miss Mu Rong?"
This was an extremely gossipy question. It was not just Bao Bao who felt deeply curious, even Lone came closer in anticipation of Qin Wushuang’s answer as if he was worried for his own personal gains and losses.
Hearing them repeatedly talked about Miss Mu Rong’s voice and appearance, plus her carefree elegance, Qin Wushuang had to admit that regardless of talent or martial arts, appearance or temperament, he had never seen such a person like Miss Mu Rong.
Now, after learning that Miss Mu Rong had left home to avoid this arranged marriage, besides admiration, Qin Wushuang could not help but also feel impressed.
For your information, that girl was extraordinary to have such courage in this world.
"Boss, you should state your answer." Bao Bao urged with a laugh.
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh: "Miss Mu Rong and I only have a platonic friendship. Indeed, Miss Mu Rong is the one of the rarest girls I have ever seen in my life. However, it would be rude to this beautiful lady if I were to say there was anything deeper to our relationship."
"Boss..." Bao Bao was almost going crazy, "Then do you like her? Or not? Can you be more direct?"
Qin Wushuang was speechless at Bao Bao’s simple logic. Was there only these two choices in the world, like or dislike?
"Boss, I know what are you saying. But I am asking you now, if there are only two options of like and dislike, what would you choose?"
This question had directly confronted his inner feelings. It would not even allow Qin Wushuang to be vague.
After some thought, Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh: "Then I would choose like. For someone as beautiful as Miss Mu Rong, who would not like her?"
"Ha ha, then it’s easy to handle. I think Senior Sister Mu Rong also had some good feelings toward you. Boss Wushuang, I think that Heavenly Luo Daoist sect are intolerable buillies. Let’s steal their daughter-in-law away. Let’s make them die of rage!"
"Yes, since the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect is chasing to kill you, we should slap their face in return, the louder the better." Apparently, Lone was the one that did not fear causing a ruckus. It would be strange if he did not join the rowdy jeering.
"Boss, don’t hesitate. This is set! Miss Mu Rong has such a high level of moral quality and strength, not to mention that she is so good-looking, where else would you find such a girl?"
"Ha ha, I think it will work. It’s good to do it. Most importantly, we will let Heavenly Luo Daoist sect know our boss’s strength!" Lone added these threatening words.
These two buffoons became engaged in a heated discussion one after another. It seemed they were discussing major points of their own lives.
Qin Wushuang felt speechless. He had to admit that regardless of which aspect, Miss Mu Rong occupied a special place in Qin Wushuang’s heart. This place was different from other girls. To his senior sister Zhou Fu, he had shared a deep friendship as close as flesh and bones. To Tong Yao, it was a pure friendship established through trials and tribulations.
For Miss Mu Rong, although they were strangers meeting by chance, each of her movements had touched some part deep inside Qin Wushuang’s heart.
Qin Wushuang had never deeply explored this feeling. However, he knew that it was a completely different kind of feeling.
Now, with this feeling dug out by Bao Bao, Qin Wushuang had realized with surprise that Miss Mu Rong’s figure had come alive in his heart.
In their first meeting, he had witnessed not only her heavenly zither music, but her natural and unconstrained movements. Following that, through Miss Mu Rong helped to resolve conflicts for him, it had further showcased her gentle and soft side.
Now, as he learned the background of Miss Mu Rong, combined with the past moments that had spent together, it had allowed Miss Mu Rong’s figure to become clearer in his mind.
Truly, this girl with the unyielding outlook and gentle nature all made her excellent and unrivaled.
When he thought there, Qin Wushuang could not help but give a light sigh.
"Boss, what are you sighing about?" Bao Bao asked with a faint smile.
"The situation is tough. Regardless of me as an individual or the entire Qin Clan, we are all suffering in the deep abyss. If I spend too much time thinking about these fleeting affections, it would be creating problems for myself."
When Qin Wushuang said up to this point, his inner mind had restored its calm as he said: "From this point, this topic is over. It doesn’t matter if it is a one hundred thousand crystal rewards or a million crystals. It would not stop my journey toward the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. I only know that the more difficult the obstacles that lay ahead of my path, the stronger my innermost being would be!"
"Boss, then..."
"Bao Bao, I will remember in my heart the benevolence of Miss Mu Rong. If we can truly make ourselves known in the Xuan Yuan Mound in the future, all these problems will be resolved. Currently, it would be useless even if we break our heads thinking it. Our strength clearly indicates that we are powerless to get involved in this whirlpool. Our most foremost goal is—To become stronger, to keep becoming more powerful!"
Bao Bao and Lone were influenced by Qin Wushuang’s determination as they nodded: "Boss, you are right. We will listen to you! Just wait, Xuan Yuan Mound. The name of us three brothers will become a legend in the Xuan Yuan Mound!"
After they had unified their thoughts, Qin Wushuang was no longer confused, despite the outside world being in full uproar as everyone talked about how to deal with "Qin Wushuang."
However, how could these people know that Qin Wushuang was right under their noses? That he was watching each of their ugly performances?
Qin Wushuang also knew that this Orderly Mountain prefecture was located at the border of the Dispersed Praying Mountain and the Xuan Yuan Mound. Thus, the conversation relating to him was more lively. It was because to enter the Xuan Yuan Mound, Qin Wushuang must pass through this Orderly Mountain prefecture!
Therefore, it was inappropriate to linger too long at this Orderly Mountain prefecture.
On the second day, just as Qin Wushuang and his two friends was leaving the inn after paying their bills, he saw the flash of a figure moving rapidly from the street across them with his sharp eyes.
That person was also just looking over at the inn. When he saw QIn Wushuang, he was clearly surprised.
"It’s him?" Qin Wushuang’s heart sank.
Fortunately, after one glance, that person did not look anymore. He quickened his footsteps and flashed to disappear at the edge of the street and from the crowd.
"General Manager Su!" Apparently, Bao Bao and Lone had recognized this person.
"This guy is not dead!" Bao Bao’s expression was extremely ugly. With his smart brain, he knew that the situation was not going to be good now that General Manager Su had seen them.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Let’s leave here first and change our appearance somewhere. This General Manager Su is an extremely doubtful person. The outside world are all spreading the news how Chen Sen’s team got annihilated. Now, he must have have many different assumptions after having seen us. If he had guessed some clues, we will be in big trouble."
Bao Bao and Lone had understood deeply. The three of them no longer lingered and walked towards the city gate rapidly. The process of getting out of the city was rather simpler than when they were entering the city.
Without stopping, Qin Wushuang and his two friends headed quickly to the north. Through the ruckus caused by Iron Holler and with General Manager Su’s doubtful and cunning personality, once he had put the clues together along with the battle of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, it was possible for him to guess Qin Wushuang’s identity.
Once he had guessed it, it meant their identities getting exposed. What awaited Qin Wushuang and his two friends would be an endless pursuit to the death!
