Returnee in Jianghu - C75
The ivy on Liu Huaiquan’s forehead stood out, feeling that he had met his nemesis.
It was a headache.
Seeing that Tang Rou’er was unwilling to retreat, he rubbed his temples: “I’m very busy, I don’t have that much time to protect you.”
Tang Rou’er suspiciously looked at Liu Huai Qu before looking at Tang Ming for confirmation. Tang Ming hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
Although Liu Huai Qu’s matters were not big, they were not few in number. There had never been a lack of small conflicts in the martial arts world.
Tang Rou’er rolled her eyes: “You busy yourself, I will play with you. Is this okay?” Don’t glare at me, who told you to take advantage of me? ”
Liu Huai Qu sighed and looked at Tang Ming. Tang Ming had no objections to Tang Rou’er’s suggestion.
Although Tang Rou’er didn’t want others to follow her, her martial arts couldn’t be considered to be at the top. She wouldn’t be able to detect that she had a few people with good skills following behind her.
Liu Huai Qu seemed to have something in common with Tang Ming. He actually understood Tang Ming’s meaning with a single glance and nodded with difficulty. Tang Rou’er lifted her lower jaw like a peacock who had won a battle.
Tang Ming helplessly said, “Rou Er, you go back first. I have something to discuss with Alliance Head Liu.”
“Oh.” After taking care of her own safety, Tang Rou’er was very happy and left without any retorts.
Liu Huai Qu looked at Tang Rou’er as she left and raised her hand, “Young Master Tang, this way please.”
Tang Ming did not refuse. He followed Liu Huai Qu to the pavilion in the small courtyard, and the two of them sat down.
“Young Master Tang has given me a difficult problem.” Liu Huai Qu sat down and poured a cup of water for Tang Ming. The teapot had already been placed under the pavilion for an hour. It was reasonable to say that the water inside had already cooled down.
Realizing that Tang Ming was looking at her, Liu Huai Qu smiled: “I’m a very lazy person. With inner force, it’s a lot more convenient.”
One could tell at a glance that he was someone who was used to using inner force to boil water.
Tang Ming had no other intentions but to put the hot water aside: “I will be responsible for your safety just like before. Chief Liu, do not worry. Although this girl has a proud and domineering character, she still knows when to advance and when to retreat. Chief Liu, do not worry too much.”
“Why didn’t Tang gongzi personally protect Miss Tang? I can see that the two of you are very close. Miss Tang shouldn’t hate Tang gongzi’s company.” Liu Huai Qu took a sip of hot tea and calmly said.
“The place I’m going to next, it’s not good to bring Rou.” Tang Ming spoke with uncertainty.
If nothing unexpected happened in the remaining time, Tang Ming would make a trip to the Imperial Capital based on the news that Yin Che had given him. At that time, it would be hard to avoid contacting the Imperial Court.
Tang Rou’er was too naive. What if she offended a certain noble and powerful person? It would be extremely troublesome to deal with her. It would be better to just let Liu Huai Qu watch over her for a while.
Liu Huai Qu smiled and nodded his head, but there was no trace of reluctance in his smile. It was as if he had willingly and wholeheartedly taken care of Tang Rou: “Looks like my mansion will be in chaos for a while.”
“If anything happens to Rou Er, please take care of her.” Even though Tang Ming was talking about Tang Rou’er, every word he said was in defense of her.
Rather than saying that he needed Liu Huai Qu to take more responsibility for him, he might as well suggest that there was someone behind Tang Rou Er, so that she would not stand idly by the side when Tang Rou Er was in danger.
Liu Huai Qu naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Tang Ming’s words. While stroking the jade ring on his pinky, she laughed to herself.
Was he being threatened?
“If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.” Tang Ming glanced at the white fox wrapped around Liu Huaiqiu’s leg, then shifted his gaze away as if nothing had happened.
This white fox was also said to be a fortuitous encounter with Liu Huaiqiu. The white fox was very understanding and had saved Liu HuaiQu several times from danger.
Liu Huai Qu smiled as he hugged the white fox. The white fox bared its fangs at Tang Ming with an extremely fierce aura.
“Rui Bai, be good and listen.” Liu Huai Qu patted the white fox’s head and said, “Young Master Tang, farewell.”
Tang Ming smiled and did not care about Liu HuaiQu’s attitude.
No matter what, as long as he achieved his goal of staying here, then it would be fine. As for offending Liu Huai Qu, even though it would be troublesome, it was not enough to make Tang Ming worry.
After exiting the courtyard Liu Huai Qu lived in, Tang Ming immediately headed towards the main hall.
Before he could even enter the hall, he heard the sound of fighting. Tang Ming frowned as he hastily pushed the door open and entered.
He saw Tang Rou’er being protected by Servant Zheng, being far away from the center of the battle while the youth in black’s long sword was dancing in the air, arrogantly beating down a few small sects.
If the youth wasn’t raised by Tang Ming, Tang Ming might have really driven the youth back.
“Remember, the Cloud Sky Sect is not something that you can talk about. If you don’t accept it, then hold it in.” The youth was beaming with joy as he stepped on an old man who looked to be over a hundred years old.
However, this old man might be a little bit older than the others because the people of the martial world did not seem old at all. The people of the seventh and eighth generations could all sing the song of a teenager, including the owner of the Pure Wind House, who looked like a crane in his hair and looked like he was in his thirties until the moment of his death.
It had to be said that the persistence of the Pure Wind House towards appearances was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
For example, the Young Noble of the Wushuang, Su Ziyue. If he did not say it out, everyone would think that Su Ziyue was Su Rong’s older brother and not his father.
Tang Ming looked at the young man baring his fangs and brandishing his claws as he sighed. This young man was none other than the junior brother that Tang Ming had raised — Luo Ling.
Not long ago, it was his junior sister, Xu Miao, who was clapping for Luo Ling.
The corners of Tang Ming’s eyes twitched. Without even thinking about it, once Tang Ming left the Cloud Sky Sect, these two fellows immediately went on a rampage.
“How is that acceptable?” Tang Ming’s tone was calm as he strode into the hall. Tang Rou’er threw herself into Tang Ming’s embrace as if she had seen her savior. “Big Brother, you’ve finally come.”
Tang Ming comforted Tang Rou’er as he watched Luo Ling’s expression change from shock to excitement. Instinctively, he kicked the old man under his feet away and rushed over: “Senior!”
Tang Ming frowned and quickly dodged.
Luo Ling jumped out of the door and vomited.
“Puff —”
The youth that Luo Ling had suppressed earlier said, “What are you pretending for? Who doesn’t know that Young Master Tang was framed by your Cloud Sky Sect to leave the sect.”
Tang Ming’s sharp eyes looked at the one who spoke. The man with peach blossoms smiled at Tang Ming. Tang Ming gently shifted his gaze away: “Servant Zheng, since when have cats and dogs always been able to enjoy themselves.”
Servant Zheng glanced at the miserable men being bullied by Luo Ling and did not say a word. However, his gaze showed the intention of chasing them out.
The servants in the vicinity, on the other hand, were well-trained and wanted to show their gratitude.
The group of people turned pale. If they were kicked out, it was obvious what kind of situation they would face in the future.
Offending a giant sect like the Cloud Sky Sect did not require the Cloud Sky Sect to speak as there would be people who would force them into a corner just to curry favor with the Cloud Sky Sect.
