Chapter 562: Chapter 312: Gentle’s Question (2)
Chu Qing spoke with righteousness.
You Zong was momentarily stunned. Although he always felt that this guy didn’t seem like a good person, he couldn’t find fault with these words.
Especially looking at Gentle, dressed as a man beside him, although she couldn’t reveal her true identity simply from appearance, her height was too noticeable.
Earlier, it was fine not knowing, but now realizing that the person in front of him was the third young master, the only one with that height who followed him could only be Gentle.
Gentle was a personal disciple of Cui Bunu, the master of the Angerless Divine Fist.
Chu Qing’s desire for the Unchanging Celestial Book was indeed reasonable and appropriate.
He nodded immediately:
"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on this matter. If this item is indeed in this Cold Valley, I will surely help you obtain it."
"It’s settled then, I’m leaving now."
He left as soon as he said, and Cold Valley was like his own backyard, allowing him to come and go freely.
In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared with Gentle.
You Zong retracted his gaze, inhaling sharply:
"How on earth did he find me?"
He prided himself on his unparalleled Disguise Art and top-notch Breath Concealment Technique.
Yet, he could not escape the perceptive eyes of this third young master.
"Still underestimated him."
You Zong sighed lightly, recalling that at Luochun Manor back then, Chu Qing was indeed formidable, but not as outstanding as now.
Moreover, he was constantly improving.
This was terrifying... At this rate, he might soon be able to stand alongside the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.
...
...
This time, Chu Qing did not leave Cold Valley directly with Gentle but instead turned in another direction to visit Han Tingting’s residence again.
At this hour, Han Tingting, even if a night owl, would have already gone to bed.
Chu Qing, with Gentle, carefully entered the room and, to be safe, tapped Han Tingting’s sleeping acupoint to prevent her from waking up surprised.
Then, the two began searching the room.
After a round of searching, they finally found a letter that the eldest Han had entrusted to Han Tingting on the table.
After glancing at it, Chu Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
The letter read:
[To my benevolent brother.]
[Long time no see in three years, are you well, brother?]
[I am deep in a whirlpool, unable to bear meeting for three years, indeed my fault.]
[However, this matter is of great importance, I sincerely hope not to involve you, brother, and ask for your understanding.]
[Now that the storm is imminent, I am unable to protect my family. With all my might, I send my little daughter, Tingting, to you, hoping you, brother, consider our longstanding friendship, and take her in.]
[Do you remember, in past years, when we pledged marriage as brothers?]
[Although times have changed, the words still ring in my ears. If brother does not abandon, am willing to honor our old promise.]
[If Ting’er has doubts, you may show this letter to her. Before that, I ask brother to keep some things hidden for me.]
[Do not let Ting’er fall into danger.]
[Your brother, Han Yiren, grateful!]
The letter was not long, briefly explaining that they hadn’t met for three years because he didn’t want Benevolent Original to be implicated.
On another note, he hoped Benevolent Original would take care of Han Tingting.
Even going as far as to bring up the old betrothed agreement, with only the singular aim for Benevolent Original to take good care of Han Tingting.
As for ’Ting’er having doubts,’ it seemed that this happened after the Cold Valley incident, where Han Tingting noticed something amiss and wanted Benevolent Original to give her this letter.
After scrutinizing it for a moment, Chu Qing couldn’t help but sigh, what a pity the hearts of parents are.
But still, Han Yiren, while trusting Benevolent Original, did not lay bare his heart, otherwise, he wouldn’t use the betrothed agreement as leverage, hoping Benevolent Original would agree.
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Chu Qing asked Gentle:
"You have long pursued the art of calligraphy, can you mimic others’ handwriting?"
Gentle shook her head:
"Too ugly, can’t write it..."
Chu Qing’s plan fell through, but his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Han Yiren’s writing was like dancing dragons and phoenixes, and to Gentle’s eyes, it was still ugly, matching his own assessment.
It seemed his writing wasn’t much different from Han Yiren’s.
He thought for a moment and then smiled.
Asking Gentle to dress Han Tingting, Gentle paused, seeing Chu Qing sitting with his back turned, then nodded and went over to dress Han Tingting.
But suddenly, out of whimsy, she asked:
"Third brother, what exactly is men and women’s defense?"
"Uh?"
Chu Qing was taken aback, never dreaming he’d be asked such a question.
Scratching his head, he said:
"This, how am I supposed to explain it to you..."
"Actually, I already know."
Gentle’s voice was extremely calm:
"If men and women have feelings, they will want to sleep with each other."
"...Who told you that?"
Chu Qing blinked, thinking whoever said that really deserves death...
"Sister Wu did."
Gentle answered casually.
"Oh... then it’s fine."
Chu Qing quickly closed his mouth, grateful that Sister Wu Qianhuan wasn’t aware of his thoughts just now.
But then, on second thought, he suddenly asked:
"So, what else did she tell you?"
"She said she doesn’t want to sleep with you."
"Huh?"
"But I can tell she’s saying one thing but means another."
Gentle added.
Chu Qing was amused and helpless at the same time, but couldn’t help asking:
"No, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"I mean..."
Gentle began dressing Han Tingting while saying:
"Since men and women have feelings, they want to sleep with each other, why then do we have men and women’s defense?
"Just as you asked me to dress this girl and you turned your head away not to look... Does it mean that if you see her body, you’ll fall for her?
"Then you’ll want to sleep with her?"
"Uh..."
Though Chu Qing prided himself on having some skills and the ability to see the whole picture from a glimpse, he really couldn’t keep up with Gentle’s train of thought.
So after all this, it was because he sat facing away from Han Tingting that prompted her question.
Scratching his head, Chu Qing said:
"Actually, between men and women, if feelings arise, it’s not just because of an emotional attachment.
"It could also be due to physical desire... Do you remember, at Seven Plum Manor, there was someone using the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, to stir physical desire to defeat the enemy?
"After you saw it, you felt embarrassed; that’s because your desire was stirred."
"So, if you see her body, you’d have desires arise?"
Gentle became more curious:
"But even then, I never thought about wanting to sleep with you."
That’s because you’re emotionally detached, the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique can’t move you...
Chu Qing chuckled awkwardly:
"Not necessarily... But, I am a normal person too."
"Oh."
Gentle suddenly asked curiously:
"So if you look at me, would your desires arise? Would you want to... sleep with me?"
"..."
There was no way to answer that question.
Chu Qing coughed lightly:
"Are you done dressing?"
"Almost... just missing a skirt, it’s a bit hard to wear.
"Her undergarments are a bit loose... they were accidentally pulled off."
"..."
Chu Qing rubbed his forehead, suddenly asking:
"When did you start being curious about these things?"
"Since meeting Sister Wu."
Gentle replied:
"Occasionally chatting with Sister Wu, somehow, we end up talking about these subjects..."
Chu Qing really wanted to say, if it’s not working, you two should talk less in the future.
But what came out instead was:
"What do you two usually talk about?"
After saying it, he regretted it and waved his hand:
"Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask, and you didn’t answer."
"Why?"
"Not quite appropriate."
Chu Qing sighed:
"It’s not good for a man like me to pry into the private conversations between women."
"Is this also men and women’s defense?"
Gentle found it very strange:
"It seems like just a trivial matter of sleeping, yet it’s spawned so many weird rules."
"Uh, you don’t understand, it’s not just a trivial matter."
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"When you meet someone you like in the future, you’ll understand."
"Someone... I like?"
Gentle looked at Chu Qing, still puzzled:
"Then how will I be sure that I like this person?"
