Returnee in Jianghu - C76
“You can’t do this!” The youth who had spoken earlier jumped out angrily. Tang Ming looked at the youth with a baffled expression and said with a light voice, “Why can’t I do this?”
“Master, let’s go!” The young man pulled up the old man who Luo Ling kicked away and glared at Tang Ming. “The river flows in thirty years, but the river flows in thirty years. Don’t look down on the young man!”
Tang Ming sneered. He really didn’t understand where this youngster’s confidence came from.
“Brother, is there something wrong with this person’s head?” Tang Rou’er also recovered. She hugged Tang Ming’s hand and wrinkled her nose.
“To be able to say such foolish words, what else could it be other than his brain?”
A soft voice entered his ears, sounding extremely ethereal.
Liu Huai Qu, who was half-way into the hall, paused his footsteps and walked in as if nothing had happened.
Thankfully, Tang Ming was completely focused on the sound and did not notice Liu Huaiqing’s abnormality.
The next moment, the fragrance of flowers was everywhere.
Liu Huai Qu was hiding in the dark. When she saw that Tang Ming’s gaze was focused on the red-clothed Red Cherry, her eyes couldn’t help but darken.
So it turned out that he had already …
Hong Ying’s gaze was first set on Tang Ming. However, Liu Huai Qu’s gaze was too strange. Hong Ying instead turned to Liu Huai Qu and asked, “Have I seen you before?”
“I am only a nameless person. Of course, Miss Hong Ying has never seen me before.” Liu Huai Qu laughed as he spoke. However, Liu Huai Qu’s words made everyone who heard them have a strange expression.
Even Tang Ming was no exception.
“You seem to know me?” Hong Ying asked doubtfully.
“The famous High Priestess of the Thousand Ghosts Cult, Xue Luosha, who doesn’t recognize him?” Liu Huai Qu’s expression didn’t change, but his words carried a trace of hostility.
“Blood Rakshasi? When did I get this nickname? ” Hong Ying frowned, as she did not understand why Liu Huai Qu would call her by her name.
Liu Huai Qu smiled, but did not change his words.
Hong Ying didn’t pay too much attention and looked directly at Tang Ming. Her lips under the red veil curled up slightly: “I didn’t expect him to be an acquaintance. What, aren’t we going to chat?”
Tang Rou’er blinked and sweetly called out to Hong Ying, “Big sister, who are you?”
Hong Ying looked at Tang Rou’er and ignored her. Instead, she looked at the young man with lofty aspirations: “However, before we start our private conversation, I feel that you have to take care of this lunatic first, so as to not stain my eyes, don’t you?”
Tang Ming looked at Servant Zheng, who immediately understood and ordered his master and disciple to be taken away. Tang Ming patted Tang Rou’er and said to Hong Ying: “My sister has no secrets, please forgive her.”
“I’m fine.” Hong Ying’s tone did not change at all, “She’s just a jealous little girl, that’s all.”
Tang Rou’er’s mouth was puffed up and her nose was puffing out. Her small appearance made it so that even Red Cherry who was being targeted couldn’t find it annoying.
No one noticed that in the corner where no one was watching, Liu Huai Qu was greedily looking at the delicate and soft Tang Rou. His heart softened.
Tang Rou’er felt Liu Huaiqiu’s gaze and turned around doubtfully. In the blink of an eye, Liu HuaiQu’s gaze had regained its clarity.
Tang Rou’er wrinkled her nose and whispered into Tang Ming’s ear, “Big brother, about that Chief Liu thing, I keep having the feeling that he isn’t that weird.”
After Tang Ming heard this, he also looked towards Liu Huai Qu. Liu Huai Qu raised her glass towards Tang Ming without the slightest bit of panic.
Tang Ming frowned and spoke in a low voice, “Rou Er, be more careful in the future.”
Right now, Tang Ming could not allow Tang Rou’er to stay away from Liu Huai Qu. After all, Tang Ming had already handed over her safety to Liu Huai Qu.
Moreover, now that he thought about it, there was actually nothing more suitable than Liu Huai Qu to take care of Tang Rou’er. If it was the Cloud Sky Sect, Luo Ling and Xu Miao were still children.
Tang Ming did not want Tang Rou Er to get involved with the people of the Pure Wind House. After all, from a certain point of view, the Pure Wind House could represent the imperial government.
After Tang Ming had arranged for Tang Rou’er to come, he looked at the interesting Red Cherry: “Miss Red Cherry, come with me.”
Hong Ying nodded and followed Tang Ming to the small room at the back door.
Hong Ying unceremoniously took a seat first, “I really did not expect that my fiancé would be you.”
Hong Ying’s tone was full of mockery, but Tang Ming’s face was still red. Hong Ying put the curtain to the side and revealed a face that made the world pale, “Long time no see, you’re still as shy as ever.”
Tang Ming saw that the situation was bad and quickly changed the topic: “Is Miss Hong Ying from the Thousand Serenities Sect?”
“Didn’t you hear what that nobody just said?” The red cherry blossom lifted Tang Ming’s chin and angrily whispered into Tang Ming’s ear, “I’m not only a member of the Thousand Serenities Sect, I’m also the Thousand Serenities Sect’s Sect Leader.”
Tang Ming’s face turned red. “Red …” Red Cherry… Miss Hong Ying, please behave yourself. ”
Hong Ying couldn’t help but laugh, “Every time I see you blushing, I feel like a playboy teasing a good girl.”
Tang Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down with difficulty, “Miss Hong Ying, I would like to ask you for something from you. I am willing to use my love silk to exchange for something with you.”
After Red Cherry heard the words “emotional entanglement”, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “What do you want?”
“A incomplete treasure map of the Gazing-Yuan Fruit.” Tang Ming looked at Red Cherry. “I believe that Miss Red Cherry did not lose out in this transaction.”
“You need the Deep Gazing Fruit?” Hong Ying raised her brows and looked at Tang Ming, “This item isn’t anything good.”
“No matter how rare, I have to give it a try.” Tang Ming’s eyes were filled with confidence, as if he didn’t think that he would fail at all.
And, just as Red Cherry guessed, Tang Ming desperately needed the Yuan fruit.
It was not just because of Tang Rou Er, but also his master, Chu Junran.
“The Silk Bind is too precious. I don’t want it, and leaving this map with me won’t be of much use, so I’ll just give it to you.” Hong Ying said without any hesitation.
“I’ve already gained quite a bit from the” Sword Art of the Jianghu “last time, this time …” Tang Ming wanted to refuse, but Hong Ying interrupted him without the slightest hesitation.
“If it really doesn’t work, then just treat it as my betrothal gift.” Hong Ying leaned enchantingly on Tang Ming’s shoulder. Her aura was like an orchid.
Tang Ming’s face once again flushed red. He didn’t feel anything was wrong with Red Cherry’s words, which made her feel very interested.
“Originally, I wanted to come here to have a chat about the baby’s marriage. However, if the target is you, then I don’t mind.” Hong Ying wrapped her hand around her black hair in an alluring manner, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first, little fiancé?”
Hong Ying’s voice rose slightly as she said the last sentence. It was extremely seductive.
“Wait!” Tang Ming suddenly reacted, “You’re giving this mask to Miss Hong Ying?”
Red Cherry looked at the fox mask in her hands and said, “Thanks.”
