Chapter 711 - 387: Reason
Chapter 711: Chapter 387: Reason
The disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion moved extremely fast, encircling all the people of Profound Mystery Sect within an instant.
Left Hall had no way to maintain that calm and collected expression in the face of the current situation. He squinted slightly, staring at the Liu siblings.
"Celestial Sound Mansion, what does this mean?"
His voice carried a hint of gravity.
However, his tone was still strong; although he took Cheng Xiao’s palm strike just now, it seemed like it didn’t injure his internal organs.
The reason for his pale face was mostly due to emotional turmoil.
Liu Qingyan and Liu Jinghan didn’t even give Left Hall a glance, quickly stepping forward to Chu Qing’s side. Liu Qingyan extended her hand to pinch Chu Qing’s face.
Although Chu Qing was startled by her action, his reaction wasn’t slow at all.
He quickly grabbed her wrist and pressed it downward:
"What’s the matter?"
"Just a pinch!"
Liu Qingyan thought her unexpected move might succeed.
But unexpectedly, Chu Qing, even at such a moment, was highly vigilant against her.
Chu Qing sneered:
"In public, if you pinch my face like this, how will I have any face to stand in the Martial World in the future!?"
"Sister, don’t mess around."
Liu Jinghan quickly spoke as well.
Unlike Liu Qingyan’s carefree attitude, Liu Jinghan had a vague fear of Chu Qing.
Which was quite normal... After witnessing Chu Qing’s astonishing martial arts, anyone in his presence would need to be cautious.
Although the two were cousins, the disparity in martial arts prowess made Liu Jinghan feel significantly overshadowed by Chu Qing.
If their skill levels were similar, with Chu Qing only slightly superior, Liu Jinghan wouldn’t feel this way; instead, he might be further motivated.
But their skill difference was like comparing fireflies to the bright moon... making Liu Jinghan not even dare to entertain thoughts of surpassing.
He was utterly compressed.
And he knew that this so-called Heroic Assembly was a stage purposely prepared for Chu Qing.
This is a figure likely to be elevated to the role of Martial Arts Alliance Leader, how could he be pinched on the face by his sister publicly?
Moreover, they understood their family affairs better than others.
Others didn’t know the relationship between Liu Qingyan and Chu Qing.
With such unclear acts, how would Liu Qingyan find a husband in future?
She’s already mature, shouldn’t she think about the future...
"You dare to interfere with me!"
Liu Qingyan glared at her brother, then looked at Chu Qing, and withdrew her hand regretfully.
Feeling like she missed this opportunity, likely there wouldn’t be another good chance in the future.
However, she was naturally carefree, resembling her aunt, though a bit disappointed, it didn’t bother her much, as she immediately engaged in idle chat with Wu Qianhuan and Gentle.
Left Hall was almost exploding with anger at this time, pointing with his finger:
"So it turns out... you are here for this person?
"This person captured my Profound Mystery Sect steward Jiang Qianliu, this is an affair between him and my Profound Mystery Sect, are you, Celestial Sound Mansion, intending to intervene and provide an explanation for him?"
Liu Jinghan was startled, glancing at the person at Chu Qing’s feet.
Failed to recognize this person as a master of the Profound Mystery Sect.
But it didn’t matter whether he recognized him or not, he asked Chu Qing softly:
"What’s going on?"
"This matter... I also need Left Young Sect Leader to give an account."
Chu Qing’s words seemed not to answer the question yet somehow answered it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghan nodded, waved his hand:
"Capture all the people from Profound Mystery Sect!"
Left Hall was shocked and furious, never dreaming that Liu Jinghan would dare to do such a thing.
He was both shocked and angry:
"Liu Jinghan, do you know what you’re doing?
"Celestial Sound Mansion distributed Heroic Invitations far and wide, inviting us to Immortal Cloud Mountain to attend the Heroic Assembly; as hosts, is this your way of hospitality?
"Or is it that you have indeed colluded with Celestial Evil Cult, and the Heroic Invitations are fake, truly intending to capture all of us Lingbei Martial World!?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Qing found himself feeling oddly comforted by those words.
The foolish child has indeed grown a clever tongue.
Those words directly shifted the tension from Chu Qing and Profound Mystery Sect to Celestial Sound Mansion and Profound Mystery Sect, eventually involving Celestial Sound Mansion and everyone present.
Indeed, regardless of truth, upon hearing these words, many attendees felt uneasy.
But Liu Jinghan merely sneered:
"Why not act!?"
Whether shifting tension or other ideas, capturing the people of Profound Mystery Sect first, other matters would be dealt with later.
As the future patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Jinghan was iron-willed, not easily swayed by the opponent’s remarks.
But just then, Chu Qing suddenly spoke softly:
"Wait."
The disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion were about to act as commanded, but upon hearing Chu Qing’s words, they halted.
This scene narrowed Left Hall’s pupils.
This was when he truly realized the person in front of him was no ordinary man.
Liu Jinghan and Liu Qingyan were extremely familiar with and protective of him.
They dared to offend Profound Mystery Sect just to defend him.
If that were all, it could indicate this person was a significant guest of Celestial Sound Mansion, greatly valued by them.
But now, with just one word from Chu Qing, the Celestial Sound Mansion disciples who had been ordered and were about to act, all halted...
This was unusual.
If he were an outsider, no matter how respected he was, the Celestial Sound Mansion disciples should follow Liu Jinghan’s orders, not halt due to Chu Qing’s single word.
Which suggests... their relationship was far closer than imagined.
