Chapter 591: Chapter 327: Desperate Situation
Liu Zhaonian felt the intense pressure around him and looked at Chu Qing before him.
His heart was also in uproar.
This child, barely twenty years old, where did he learn such formidable and terrifying Martial Arts?
If it had been anyone else displaying such skills, Liu Zhaonian would not have had any doubts.
But the one standing before him was Chu Qing... his sister’s son.
Even if his Martial Arts were unmatched, Liu Zhaonian still dared not risk easily.
With some hesitation, he said in a deep voice:
"Alright, Qing’Er, since your Martial Arts are so strong, help your uncle hold down the Celestial Sound Mansion... I will personally go to intercept..."
But just as he said this, footsteps came from outside the door.
Soon after, the voice of a Celestial Sound Mansion disciple reached everyone’s ears:
"Mansion Master, to report, Han Yiren from Little Cold Valley has led many scattered individuals from the Martial World and is now outside the Celestial Sound Mansion, seeking an audience with the Mansion Master!"
Liu Zhaonian showed a slight anger:
"They really know how to pick their timing!"
Chu Qing smiled:
"Uncle, remain at the Celestial Sound Mansion; everything has reached a critical moment, and the Celestial Sound Mansion cannot afford any mishaps.
Han Yiren is just a pawn, but since they have arrived, what follows will gradually unfold... specific issues can be discussed when I return, and we will talk in detail."
Liu Zhaonian knew Chu Qing’s words made sense, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said:
"You must not let anything happen to you..."
His sister had three children, but she missed this youngest one the most.
Because when she left, the child was too young; she hadn’t been able to fulfill a single day of motherly duty, with guilt and longing nearly becoming an emotional knot.
If Chu Qing were injured due to this matter, even if his sister returned whole, they’d likely clash.
Chu Qing nodded with a smile:
"Rest assured, also, regarding my matters, please keep it confidential for now, Uncle."
"I understand that!"
Though Liu Zhaonian didn’t know the specific reasons, when Chu Qing revealed his identity, he was cautious, often presenting himself with a false persona.
This indicated that there was some hidden importance.
Being the Mansion Master of the Celestial Sound Mansion, he naturally wasn’t ignorant; this was something he could discern.
Thinking of this, he handed a secret letter to Chu Qing:
"Your mother sent this secret letter three days ago.
The location should be at Sanliping, but as three days have passed, she should be near Huangchuan Crossing by now.
Follow this direction to find her, and you must hurry!"
"Understood."
Chu Qing immediately agreed, turning back to Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou:
"This journey must be quick; I must go and return swiftly, and you both stay temporarily at the Celestial Sound Mansion."
Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou exchanged a glance, nodding simultaneously:
"Be careful."
Chu Qing smiled, ready to leave, but Liu Qingyan hurriedly said:
"Wait, wait, you need to take me with you!"
Liu Zhaonian was startled and was about to scold her for being reckless but suddenly thought of something and said to Chu Qing:
"You really should take her with you..."
Chu Qing slapped his forehead:
"You’re right... otherwise, I probably wouldn’t recognize her face to face."
After twenty years, he didn’t know what his biological mother looked like... although there was always her portrait in Chu Yunfei’s study, the issue was that portraits from that era were quite abstract, and with twenty years passing, appearances would surely change.
This journey was no small matter and could not afford any error.
With Liu Qingyan, contingencies could be managed.
Liu Qingyan slightly lifted her head, about to speak when Chu Qing clasped her shoulder:
"Let’s go."
This was a notification, and before Liu Qingyan could nod, the two figures disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Liu Zhaonian’s heart stirred:
"Such fast Lightweight Technique!"
Looking at Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou nearby, he saw their calm expressions, seemingly accustomed to it.
Silently marveling at his nephew’s Divine Power, he summoned disciples to head toward Huangchuan Crossing for support.
Chu Qing went ahead, and the main group would follow.
That was the complete support process.
After handling everything, Liu Zhaonian cupped his hands to Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou:
"May I ask who you two are?"
"Wu Qianhuan, daughter of Wu Ganqi from Celestial Dance City."
Wu Qianhuan cupped her hands:
"This is Wenrou, the cherished daughter of Wen Fusheng from Luochun Manor."
"Wu Ganqi..."
Liu Zhaonian smiled:
"I did not expect that he really had a daughter.
I have heard of Wen Fusheng of Luochun Manor even while I was in Lingbei... hmm, and who is this?"
He pointed at the ’corpse’, seemingly like a person but with no breath nor pulse, looking puzzled.
He had wanted to ask before but hadn’t had the chance.
Chu Qing left in a hurry, so many things were unclear.
Wu Qianhuan briefly explained the situation, then solemnly said:
"This person is of great significance; Mansion Master Liu must handle it with care."
Liu Zhaonian seriously nodded, knowing it was crucial evidence for the Celestial Sound Mansion.
He immediately had people come and take away the near-dead body, arranging rooms for Wenrou and Wu Qianhuan to rest before going to see Han Yiren.
...
...
Between Sanliping and Huangchuan Crossing, there was a place called Wild Grass Slope.
Spring had yet to arrive, and the ground was desolate, as a carriage rushed from the end of the road.
The driver was a woman, her eyes deep and seasoned, with gray at her temples showing signs of aging.
Yet her face did not show age, appearing to be in her thirties, with extraordinary elegance and beauty.
