Chapter 556: Chapter 309: Taking You
"Also... if it rains, remember to use an umbrella, when it’s hot wear less... you..."
"Ah!!!"
Han Tingting’s face turned red upon hearing this advice, thinking it sounds odd, as if the person opposite her was a fool:
"Am I so stupid that I don’t know to take cover when it rains?"
Her brother glanced at her with a suspicious look:
"You know?"
"I know!!"
"That’s good."
As her brother let out a sigh of relief, Han Tingting puffed out her cheeks angrily.
Finally, he gently said:
"You can leave early tomorrow morning, but now so many people are watching everywhere in the Small Cold Valley, you’ll best go out using the secret passage, to avoid being targeted by anyone with ill intentions."
Han Tingting’s full joy after hearing this suddenly diminished slightly.
She frowned and said:
"The event dad organized attracted so many people, and now he’s suddenly allowing me to wander the Jianghu. Could it be that something has happened?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? This event is meant for forming alliances, to catch the attention of the Three Mansions, Three Gates, and Three Sects.
If handled well, it might become the largest influence outside the Three Mansions, Three Gates, and Three Sects... It’s a thriving situation, what could possibly happen?"
"That’s true..."
Han Tingting nodded. Although the people in Small Cold Valley are of mixed nature, it might attract Chu Tian’s assassination.
But they’re definitely not all bad people.
This endeavor too is for the righteous path in the Jianghu, how could anything bad happen?
"Alright, I won’t interrupt your rest any longer."
The elder brother reached out to rub Han Tingting’s head:
"Brother is leaving, you should sleep early."
"No rush, no rush."
"Hmm?"
"Ah, I mean I’ll sleep right away."
"Hmm."
The elder brother glanced at his sister once more and saw that her attention was no longer on himself, seemingly her mind was already wandering into the turbulent Jianghu.
For a moment, he shook his head with a smile, then turned around, opened the door, and left the room.
Han Tingting was happy for a while, went over to close the door, and just when she was full of anticipation, she turned around and saw three more people in the room.
It startled her so much that her soul almost left her body, and only after she could see clearly who the three people in front were did she pat her chest:
"You... You guys are too scary...
"Where did you hide just now?"
Chu Qing pointed upwards.
Han Tingting was puzzled:
"How come I didn’t see?"
"Perhaps you lack a pair of eyes that are good at discovering?"
Chu Qing went to the table and sat down, but couldn’t help recalling the conversation between the brother and sister.
Since Han Tingting heard her father permit her to roam the Jianghu, she had been excited, hence she completely didn’t notice the complex expression on her brother’s face at that time.
That expression was truly rich, filled with a mixture of emotions, including reluctance, relief, a hint of worry and uncertainty...
But ultimately, it all became love for his sister.
However, if one thinks carefully about this matter, in fact, it doesn’t make sense.
Han Tingting wants to venture into the Jianghu, the father and son could agree at any time, but why choose the critical moment when heroes gather?
In such circumstances, with many eyes watching and no extra hands to protect her... It’s hard to say if an accident might happen.
This made Chu Qing think of Tie Lingyun sending Tie Chuming away during the battle at Ghost God Gorge.
Chu Qing knows, when the day of the meeting arrives, Small Cold Valley will probably be erased from the Jianghu... Han Yiren is ambitious, colluded with the Celestial Evil Cult, setting up a trap in Small Cold Valley, definitely with a motive.
Logically, he shouldn’t be able to foresee the fate of Small Cold Valley in a few days.
But now he suddenly sent Han Tingting away.
Doesn’t this imply that Han Yiren himself isn’t confident about this matter?
Even, he isn’t optimistic and has no choice but to act?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Han Tingting:
"I heard a noble guest arrived in Small Cold Valley a few days ago?"
Han Tingting nodded, mentioning absentmindedly:
"I know, it seems to be an uncle from our family."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qing was instantly surprised.
Our family... Three days ago, Han Qiuyuan arrived, and the Valley Master of Small Cold Valley is called Han Yiren.
Han Tingting said that person is from their family...
Could it be that Small Cold Valley is related to the Han Family of Star Split Mansion?
"Then do you know where this elder is living within the Cloud Viewing Pavilion?"
Chu Qing asked again.
Han Tingting replied casually:
"In the Sea View Pavilion, I remember my brother mentioning it in passing... Why are you asking this?"
"Our visit tonight is all for the person in your portrait.
But in two days we will also participate in the grand event your father is hosting. That elder has a great reputation, we’ve long wanted to meet but didn’t know where he lived, so it’s hard to call upon him...
Now thanks to Miss Han for giving us the chance to pay a visit."
"Huh?"
Han Tingting awakened from her daze:
"Then you mustn’t say I told you."
"Be assured, it won’t be mentioned."
Chu Qing stood up:
"Then we won’t disturb you any longer, take care."
"Small Cold Valley is heavily guarded, I don’t know how you got in, it seems not easy. Perhaps you should leave through the secret passage?"
Han Tingting suggested.
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Thanks for Miss Han’s kindness, but we won’t need it."
"Then how will you leave?"
"We have our own clever methods."
Chu Qing spoke mysteriously.
Su Ningzhen couldn’t help but roll her eyes, what clever methods, it’s just relying on high martial arts skills, bullying people.
Chu Qing glanced back at her:
"What’s wrong, do you have an opinion?"
Su Ningzhen shook her head repeatedly, expressing no opinions at all.
Han Tingting saw this and said nothing, she simply advised:
"Be careful, if you get caught, don’t give up... don’t give him up."
Evil indeed!
Chu Qing sighed inwardly:
"Don’t worry."
After saying this, he left Han Tingting’s room with Gentle and Su Ningzhen. With a twist, they were on the rooftop, their figures vanished into the courtyard.
The Cloud Viewing Pavilion refers to this area of houses above Half Cliff, each house has its own name.
Sea View Pavilion is one of them.
So once you know the name, finding it is much easier.
Moments later, the three appeared at the door of the Sea View Pavilion.
Though called Sea View Pavilion, the house is not large. Due to its special location, if built too big, the materials below wouldn’t support it, and the house would collapse.
Chu Qing first pushed the door open, seeing a person sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Perhaps awakened by the sound of the door opening, he looked up to see three uninvited guests in the room, full of shock.
Chu Qing ignored him and asked Su Ningzhen:
"Is it him?"
Su Ningzhen nodded repeatedly:
"Indeed, it’s him."
"Who are you?"
Han Qiuyuan reacted, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"I am Han San."
Chu Qing slightly cupped his fist:
"Greetings to Han Qiuyuan, Elder Han."
Han Qiuyuan saw his courtesy, yet was still puzzled, then said with a dark face:
"Have you no sense of time, sneaking into my residence, what do you intend to do?"
Chu Qing chuckled, responding:
"Nothing, just to take you."
Han Qiuyuan felt he must have misheard:
"What?"
"Already aged, huh, hard of hearing."
Chu Qing slowly walked towards Han Qiuyuan, under the enveloping aura, Han Qiuyuan felt in that instant he seemed to be in a vast void, with no support under his feet, nothing covering above his head, empty all around, only a great crisis looming, making his body rigid, even his breath stalled.
This moment of intense crisis feeling, Han Qiuyuan never experienced in his years roaming the Jianghu.
Therefore, without any spare thoughts, with a flick of sleeve, swift as lightning and fire, his moves are like a brush painting dragons and snakes.
An iron pen directly aimed at Chu Qing’s temple, throat, and other vital spots... with speed like thunderbolt.
But then a snap sounded, the hand holding the pen was slapped aside directly by someone.
