Returnee in Jianghu - C79
Liu Huai Qu’s words naturally gave a hint to Tang Ming. Only four days ago, Tang Rou had left, and the rest of the time, she had been right under Tang Ming’s nose.
In other words, Tang Rou’er caught the butterfly four days ago, and these four days were the ones that put the Rainbow Poison Plate into Tang Rou’er’s butterfly.
Tang Ming naturally wouldn’t suspect Xiang Ru Se. They were all old people that Tang Ning had brought from the Tang family’s castle. They had special feelings for the castle, so they naturally wouldn’t do anything to Tang Rou’er.
However …
Tang Ming looked at Liu Huai Qu, “How did Alliance Head Liu know that someone would place a seven-colored poison disc in Rou’er’s gift?”
If Liu Huai Qu had seen someone put a seven-colored poison disc in Tang Rou Er’s gift, he would have probably captured her on the spot and not dragged it out until now. This was clearly not a wise decision, and if Liu Huai Qu hadn’t seen the criminal act, how would Liu Huai Qu know that even Tang Ning and Tang Ming didn’t know the truth?
Liu Huai Qu’s expression didn’t reveal any flaw as he said, “I have my ways of knowing. Young Master Tang, why would you suspect me?”
“Or could it be that Young Master Tang is like those other people and thinks that my position as the chief of Martial Arts Alliance is based on luck?”
“Luck is also a type of strength.” Tang Ming looked at Liu Huai Qu. Liu Huai Qu smiled and did not pay any attention to his question. Tang Ming pursed his lips and said, “I owe you a favor.”
Liu Huai Qu didn’t pay attention to Tang Ming’s words. Instead, he directly went past Tang Ming and stroked Tang Rou’Er’s head: “Next time, pay attention. Don’t let that villain in the shadows take the opportunity.”
Tang Rou’er shifted her gaze away. She was not used to Liu Huai Qu’s gentle gaze and reluctantly said, “Thank you.”
“No need.” Liu Huai Qu looked at Tang Rou’er. His tone made Tang Ming scrunch up his eyebrows.
Another prying eye on my sister!
Noticing Tang Ming’s unfriendly gaze, Liu Huai Qu did not speak any further with Tang Rou’er and directly entered the hall.
“Big brother, I’m sorry. I wanted to prepare a present for you, but who knew that I almost caused a disaster?” Tang Rou’er tugged at Tang Ming’s clothes. Her small appearance was pitiful, making others unable to blame her.
“It’s fine, it’s good that you have the heart.” Tang Ming consoled Tang Rou’er while feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
If Liu Huai Qu hadn’t taken care of the seven-colored poison disc in advance, then the first person to be injured would definitely be Tang Rou’er. After all, it was Tang Rou’s gift, so with this girl’s temper, she must have personally released the butterfly for Tang Ming to see.
Not only that, when the time came, everyone in the hall would suffer. His coming of age ceremony would be ruined, and the most important thing would be for it to affect Fragrance like it used to be.
Thus, the “favor” he had just said to Liu HuaiQu was not only because Tang Ming owed him, but also because he owed Liu HuaiQu a favor.
“Let’s go in first. Aunty will deal with the matter of the seven-colored poison disc.” Tang Ming looked at the multicolored poison disc on the floor. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Because he was afraid of scaring Tang Rou’er, he didn’t show it.
“Alright.” Tang Rou’Er unhappily nodded her head. Suddenly, Tang Rou’er changed the topic: “Big Brother, that Liu Huai Qu, does he like me?”
Tang Ming’s footsteps paused and his tone turned cold: “Why does Rou’er think this way?”
“Because his attitude is so strange!” Tang Rou’er placed her index finger under her chin and spoke in a tender and soft voice: “You keep looking at me. That kind of gaze always feels weird. Right, it’s really weird!”
“Where is it weird?” Tang Ming’s vigilance had increased by several levels. He felt that if he wasn’t afraid of scaring Tang Rou, Tang Ming could directly use his sword to slash at her.
“It’s that kind of look, as if I will forgive anything I do.” Tang Rou’er blinked her eyes and directly defined him: “He really does like me, right? But I’m sure I’ve never seen him before. Just why does he like me?”
Tang Ming’s expression was as cold as it could get. Tang Rou’er also discovered that something was wrong and obediently didn’t say anything else.
The following banquet went smoothly and there were no more surprises.
In a small courtyard, Su Ziyue flipped through the documents, “Nothing?”
“Yes, this Liu Huai Qu is too clean. Both his parents died and he accidentally obtained a secret martial arts manual, after that, no matter what he did, he always got lucky from misfortune, and there were endless opportunities for him to get lucky. Moreover, he also did not seem to be able to predict the future, and even though the position of Martial Chief fell to his shoulders, it seems like it was a result of many forces dealing with him, but in just two short years, he has made everyone convinced that he is not a small power in the martial arts world.”
Su Rong looked at the information that was passed to her and could not help but be surprised.
One had to know that Liu Huai Qu was only nineteen right now. If there really was no one behind him, then he was truly a monster.
Su Ziyue frowned.
Compared to Tang Qing back then, this Liu HuaiQu was much stronger. Back then, when he first heard of Liu HuaiQu’s experience, he was still lamenting about how fearsome the younger generation was.
After all, luck was also a type of strength.
“Could it be someone from the Devil Sect?” Su Ziyue put the documents aside and looked at Su Rong.
“Yes, no.” Su Rong poured a cup of tea for Su Ziyue, “They were originally thinking the same thing, but they realized that even though Liu Huai Qu’s methods are powerful, every single thing he did would benefit the most. Of course, it doesn’t mean that Liu Huai Qu wouldn’t be able to catch a big fish.”
Su Ziyue looked at Su Rong, but didn’t comment. Instead, she asked Su Rong, “Rong’er, what do you think?”
“I don’t think that Liu Huai Qu will do any harm, be it for the martial arts world or the imperial government.” Su Rong’s tone was calm. After all, all of Liu Huai Qu’s nineteen years of experience were here. He had indeed not done anything evil.
From the information he had gathered, he knew that Liu Huai Qu was a decisive killer with distinct grudges and grudges. He was indeed not a bad person.
“Let others keep an eye on him.” Su Ziyue said flatly, “After all, no matter how sly a fox is, there will still be a time when he will show his tail.”
“I see, Father.”
On the other side
“Mistress, why don’t you just stop the Pure Wind House and let them find out your background?” Liu HuaiQu’s attendant was indignant, but Liu HuaiQu was calm as he calmly took a sip of his tea.
“Suifeng, don’t be impatient.” Liu Huai Qu looked at the discontented Chasing Wind and said with a smile.
“I’m not in a hurry, I’m angry!” Chasing Wind took a sip of tea and said, “Isn’t the Pure Wind House going too far? Furthermore, Master, you should be honest with yourself. If they check you out, why don’t you just openly let them check you out? ”
“The Pure Wind House is huge, and we can’t afford to offend them. Even if I wanted to stop them, I wouldn’t be able to, so we simply let them be satisfied with their investigation. I didn’t do anything shameful.” Liu Huai Qu laughed magnanimously. He was not afraid of the Pure Wind House coming to investigate him.
Moreover, no matter how the Pure Wind House investigated, they would not find out the truth.
He, Liu Huai Qu, had nothing to be afraid of.
