Chapter 281: Chapter 172: Third Brother, You Have to Stand Up for Me!

With the death of Young Master Mei, everything settled into dust.

The only person left capable of fighting in the Seven Plum Manor was Miss Wu.

However, even her situation was far from good.

Ling Fei, being a master on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List at the Mirror of Sin, inherently had better martial arts than she did.

When the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique failed to affect Ling Fei, their duel turned into a game of cat and mouse.

Ms. Wu was already covered in scars all over her body, yet Ling Fei did not hurry to kill her.

She intended to eliminate any possible threats before delivering the fatal blow.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The Golden Sword soared, rolling down like a meteor shower.

With a free hand, Cao Qiupu naturally joined the fray.

Ms. Wu was already exhausted with dealing with Ling Fei, now only able to defend without the power to counterattack.

Facing the descending Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique, she barely mustered her strength to resist, but was inevitably affected by the sound skill.

Her body entered ’Flowing Water’, the sound skill surged, the sword edge whirled.

Streaks of scars appeared all over her body, fresh blood splattering onto the snow, even more vivid than real plum blossoms.

Her figure still struggled to retreat, trying to evade this sword.

Yet Cao Qiupu’s Golden Sword was like a bone-attached boil, impossible to shake off.

Unable to dodge, block, or escape, she could only wait for death!

The next moment, an immense force suddenly enveloped her, lifting her up involuntarily, and Miss Wu bewilderedly opened her eyes to find herself standing before Chu Qing.

Why would he save me?

Could it be... entranced by beauty?

She had seen the earlier scene clearly, knowing how high Chu Qing’s martial arts were.

If this person could become her confidant...

Then today she might have a chance to escape!

Ms. Wu was already skilled at using beauty to serve others, and now with this thought, she immediately tried to adopt a delicate and charming demeanor...

But before her expression could change, saber glints continuously flew out.

Her hand and foot tendons snapped in an instant, followed by Chu Qing striking a palm from a distance, she felt her Dantian shock, and her entire body involuntarily flew backward, rolling awkwardly onto the snow.

Raising her head abruptly, there was no more lucky hope in her heart, only overwhelming anger:

"You!!!"

She could have died cleanly, yet this person wouldn’t allow it.

Using profound inner power to separate her from the Golden Sword’s edge, not only cutting her tendons but also shattering her Dantian Sea of Qi, disabling her martial arts!

Cao Qiupu also looked confused.

He had intended to directly slay Ms. Wu, but Chu Qing’s sudden intervention made him think he had some idea... What was he doing?

Looking up at Chu Qing, he saw Chu Qing approaching Miss Wu with a saber, squatting down and smiling:

"There are some things I want to ask the lady."

"Due to the fear of the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, I had to resort to stopping her movements temporarily."

"So we can talk quietly for a moment."

"... Scoundrel!"

Ms. Wu’s face was full of distress; her entire body was already in unbearable pain, her beautiful face now stained with blood, extremely miserable, she cursed through gritted teeth:

"You harmed me like this... and it’s just because you want to talk to me?

"You..."

The words were cut off by intense pain, unable to speak more, but surely they wouldn’t be pleasant words.

Chen Zhengnan frowned:

"Evil heresy, just eliminate it, what is there to say?"

"Some personal matters."

Chu Qing took the silk gloves from his pocket, lifting Miss Wu and said:

"I’ll find a place and talk with her for a bit.

"Please take care of the remaining issues in Seven Plum Manor."

"This..."

Chen Zhengnan glanced at Chu Qing, wanting to speak but stopping halfway, finally nodding:

"Alright."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Ling Fei glanced thoughtfully at him, then gracefully stepped beside Cao Qiupu.

Chu Qing didn’t care about their thoughts, lifting Ms. Wu, he found a nearby empty room.

Gentle and Tie Chuming naturally followed behind him.

But Chu Qing glanced at Tie Chuming:

"Why are you following me? Take the people and clean up the manor thoroughly."

Tie Chuming glared at Chu Qing, snorted, and while turning to leave, mumbled:

"What business needs to be kept from me?"

After going out, she slammed the door shut angrily.

Now, the room only had Chu Qing, Gentle, and Ms. Wu.

Ms. Wu sat on the ground, looking at Chu Qing and Gentle, forcing a smile:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique."

Chu Qing got straight to the point:

"Tell me, and I will grant you a swift end."

Though Miss Wu expected various possibilities, she didn’t anticipate that Chu Qing wanted this.

She looked at Chu Qing with a strange expression:

"Really?"

"Of course."

Chu Qing walked around the room, found paper and ink, and originally intended to have Gentle grind the ink while he wrote.

But suddenly remembered the earlier mockery he received from Gentle... He hesitated to lift the pen.

After hesitating, he tapped Gentle’s acupoints, temporarily sealing her ear canals.

Gentle touched her ears, glanced at Chu Qing, puzzled but not overly concerned, merely quietly grinding the ink.

Chu Qing looked at Ms. Wu:

"You speak, I write."

"... Okay."

Ms. Wu was very straightforward, seeing Chu Qing prepare ink, she began to narrate the key techniques.

Before writing, Chu Qing gently pulled down Gentle’s eyelids, making her close her eyes and not look around.

Only then did he begin writing...
