Chapter 777: Chapter 420: Masters Gather
Wu Qianhuan exchanged a glance with Gentle, both a bit puzzled, and Wu Qianhuan was surprised:
"Why didn’t you say it earlier?
"Did you decide to stay here because he knows Martial Arts?"
"No."
Chu Qing shook his head:
"When I first decided to stay here, I hadn’t discovered his martial arts skills; it was only when speaking with him later that I sensed something unusual.
"Among his words, there are many falsehoods, though most are irrelevant, just nonsense spoken out of jealousy.
"But his background should not be simple, certainly not a local of Little River Bay."
He didn’t use the Heaven-Transforming Earth-Striking Technique to check the truth in detail; there was no need for that.
It was just a coincidence, no need to get to the root of it.
Anyway, after the meeting at the Treasures Tower in two days, they would be leaving.
Wu Qianhuan understood Chu Qing’s thoughts and smiled as he said:
"Everyone has their own secrets, but meeting by chance, there’s truly no need to delve too deeply."
Regarding this family, Chu Qing and they did not discuss much further.
After a brief chat, they prepared to go out for a stroll.
This season, Little River Bay is beautiful, with peach blossoms everywhere, adorning the lives of people, making it look like a fairyland.
This is when there are no phones; otherwise, casually taking pictures would yield impressive shots.
Not many people know about the Treasures Tower’s news, although there are a few familiar faces in Little River Bay, it hasn’t reached the point where people with weapons are everywhere like in the Martial World.
Chu Qing just didn’t expect it would be so easy to meet someone he knows.
"Big brother!"
Huangfu Yixiao, in flowing white clothes and full of aloofness, suddenly jumped high to wave at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing, in a moment of surprise, saw him right in front:
"Big brother, long time no see."
"...It doesn’t seem that long though."
Chu Qing thought carefully, it had only been about half a month since they parted?
"Why are you here, Young Master Huangfu?"
Wu Qianhuan quietly asked.
Huangfu Yixiao winked at Chu Qing and said:
"Of course, because of the Treasures Tower!
"I’ve long heard that you can buy anything in the Treasures Tower. There’s something I’ve wanted for a long time, but I’m not sure if this Treasures Tower is as good as they say?"
"What do you want to buy?"
Chu Qing was a bit curious: "Not the whereabouts of the monk?"
"That thieving baldhead is not worth such trouble for me."
Huangfu Yixiao’s face was full of pride.
Chu Qing’s face turned dark:
"So, are you planning to trouble me instead?"
"...No, no, big brother, don’t misunderstand, I just said something wrong, didn’t I?"
Huangfu Yixiao grinned and said:
"But the thing I want to buy is likely hard to find.
"Even the Treasures Tower might not be able to provide it.
"Big brother, I’ve already made up my mind. If the Treasures Tower doesn’t have what I want, then it’s not living up to its name, and what does a name not living up to reality mean? It means a scam!
"Then I’ll burn down their Treasures Tower with a fire, lest it brings harm to the Martial World."
Chu Qing nodded repeatedly:
"Your idea is very creative, I support you, but can you pretend not to know me when you do it?
"I’m afraid people might mistake us for accomplices and beat me up along with you."
"What are you afraid of?"
Huangfu Yixiao said excitedly:
"It’s perfect, you and I, two brothers teaming up again; a mere Treasure Tower, laughable, laughable."
Chu Qing wasn’t interested in accompanying his madness and found an excuse to run away.
But Huangfu Yixiao was very clingy, especially after meeting Chu Qing, as if meeting an old friend in a foreign land, sticking like a tail and impossible to shake off.
Chu Qing didn’t bother to argue; if he wanted to follow, so be it.
However, when Chu Qing and the others arrived at a well-known local restaurant, watching as Huangfu Yixiao sat down with ease, Chu Qing reminded him:
"Order whatever you want yourself and pay your own bill afterward."
"...Big brother, is there a need for such formality between us?"
"Don’t make a fuss. We only met once, besides, even real brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and we are not that close."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and called over the waiter to order drinks and dishes.
Huangfu Yixiao looked aggrieved:
"If my father knew that people despise me like the plague out here, I wonder how he would feel."
"He’d probably sigh about how he obviously failed in his parenting, to have raised such a son."
"Wow, big brother, do you not know that trouble comes from the mouth? If my father hears this, watch out, he might come to challenge you."
Huangfu Yixiao’s mood came and went quickly, as he watched Wu Qianhuan ordering a few dishes, and when the waiter was about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed him, adding a few that he wanted to eat himself, which were basically the same as what Chu Qing and the others ordered.
The waiter didn’t quite understand; clearly they came together, why order two tables of dishes?
But not earning money is like being an idiot, why would the waiter care about these things? He immediately agreed and turned away.
Chu Qing’s gaze swept around the restaurant once, not many people, sparse, everyone sat at their own tables eating, their expressions carrying a hint of aloofness.
Moreover, these few people had extraordinary temperaments, yet were extremely restrained.
As if they were just ordinary people...
As Chu Qing withdrew his gaze from an old man, he heard Huangfu Yixiao whispering in his ear:
"The old man you were looking at is nicknamed the ’Northern Sword Celestial Eagle,’ the Mountain Master of North Sword Mountain.
"The so-called Southern Saber and Northern Sword are quite famous in the Martial World. But big brother, you’re so young, you probably haven’t heard of them... after all, he’s not from your Southern Domain."
