Chapter 124: Is that for nothing?

Wei Mingqi, the so-called invincible martial arts master, really likes it. After all, no one in this world likes to fail. It would be too embarrassing for him, who has the top template, if he cannot go further than in the game.

Now that I'm here, I must go to the top of the mountain to take a look and see if the man on the top of the mountain is truly invincible in martial arts.

Wei Mingqi had always held this belief before. Although his intention was strong, he could not be called "stupid". Therefore, he felt that martial arts was illusory.

But when he was applying medicine to Xie Beiling, he touched those traces, and the state of mind he had in the cave five years ago resurfaced, and unknowingly his understanding of his own "intention" reached a higher level.

The reason why he pursues to be invincible in martial arts is that he is arrogant and does not want to lose to his own template, but more importantly, it is for the person standing behind him.

He wanted to throw a punch, hitting the clear sky behind him and making the sky in front of him tremble. He wanted the entire world to become his puppet!

Such a peaceful life means that his family no longer has to worry about him, and the injury Xie Beiling suffered five years ago and the forced separation from Li He will not happen again.

Various beliefs mixed together and turned into the firewood in his heart for this pursuit. Wei Mingqi clearly felt that a "flame" rose from these firewoods of consciousness and turned into a stream of air in his chest and abdomen, which seemed to be growing and nourishing.

He finally touched the door to the ninth realm of martial arts.

"..."

"At that time, Brother Wang led us into the water from the cabin, hoping to reach the shore and then run away separately, but a large group of cavalry appeared behind us to surround us. Brother Wang and his men saw that they could not escape, so they ordered me to go out alone to find you in the capital. Lingyin, who does not know how to fight, was with them. When I ran away, I looked back and saw that Brother Wang and his men were all tied up. There was also a woman at the bow who seemed to be the leader giving orders. She should be the Princess of Langya."

After Song Lingyu finished describing her experiences along the way, the two girls frowned. The shallow-minded Shi Fengguan couldn't help but say:

"Li He... this guy has a connection with Taoist Master Wei Mingqi and Xie Daoist Leader, why did he choose to attack at this critical moment? Is he trying to make an enemy?"

Ever since the stories about Wei Mingqi spread a few years ago, the local underworld has been in turmoil. The initial criticisms have gradually turned into calls for exorcism, and the secret plots have begun to come to the surface, so much so that even the ordinary people have felt it.

At this critical juncture, Li He, who enjoys great popularity, steps in again. One can imagine what kind of catalytic effect this will have on the situation.

"It's not as simple as you think."

Yu Qing has been in charge of the underground development of 'Chaotian Palace' over the years and has more or less understanding of various local forces.

The area of ​​Lu has undergone a lot of changes since the emergence of Princess Langya. The most obvious change is that many more people from the martial arts world have come here due to the news. After these people gathered together, they attracted many martial arts forces, so that Lujing has become another center of the martial arts world in the past two years.

Influenced by this, Chaotian Palace also tried to develop here, but was always obstructed by various coincidences, and finally gave up.

It stands to reason that these people in Chaotian Palace are not open to the light, so it is normal for them to encounter obstacles or even failure in their work. However, it is different in Lujing. Yu Qing always feels that there is a hand that is secretly influencing the situation there. Yu Qing even suspects that those gang members were "exposed" to the other party as soon as they arrived in Lujing, so there were all kinds of follow-up things.

It would be fine if it was the palace's hand, but their style of doing things was unlike those of the warlords. So after several attempts, Yu Qing acquiesced that there was an invisible tiger in the Lujing underworld, and he kept his distance from the other party.

Yu Qing did not suspect that Li He was the culprit. Instead, she felt that Li He was a banner raised by the other party. Now that she had suffered a disaster from Li He, the first person she suspected was the tiger in Lu Jingli.

"Have you finished chatting?"

Wei Mingqi happened to come out of the house at this time.
He came over and looked at Song Lingyu seriously for a few times, then looked at Yu Qing and said:
"This girl looks a bit like you. I would believe her if she was your sister."

Especially the eyes, both are almond-shaped, but Song Lingyu has thinner eye bags than Yu Qing, which makes her look more delicate.

"……Little Lord."

Song Lingyu couldn't help but feel frightened when facing the legendary figure. She hardly dared to raise her eyes to look at him seriously. This was because the other party's reputation was so terrifying, and it was rumored that he was very arrogant and didn't seem like someone who was easy to get along with.

Yu Qing took her hand and moved closer to her, so that the young man could compare better, and said with a smile:
"Her sister Suzune looks more like me. I liked them very much when I first met them and have always treated them as sisters."

"...Mother Yu."

Song Lingyu's nose felt hot when she heard this. She had been a little worried about coming here this time, because she and her sisters had decided to go to the capital secretly without informing Yu Qing. Who would have known that not only would they be robbed on the way, but she would also cause trouble for Cang Liangye. She felt that she was as unlucky as a disaster.

She thought she would be scolded when she came here, but she never expected that Yu Qing not only did not blame her, but was even more gentle and easy-going than before.

"Her sister is called Lingyin? Where is she?"

"He was kidnapped on the way into Guanzhong."

"Who is so bold as to not tell the robbers my name?"

Wei Mingqi was so angry that his face turned black. He thought he already had some power in Guanzhong, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even protect his subordinates. How could he lead a team in the future?
If another playboy like Xu Shenghong appears this time, everyone in the family, not only the old and the young, but even the dogs will be kicked by him.

"I have reported it—"

Song Lingyu mustered up the courage to describe the scene at that time: "After Brother Wang reported your name, those people beat you even more fiercely."

"...

Okay, okay, I've had enough of this——

Wei Mingqi was extremely angry but calmed down instead, and said, "Do you know whose family this is?"

"Yes, she is from Langya. The leader of the team calls her Princess. She should be Princess Langya Li He."

The little girl told all the information in detail, and then she saw Wei Mingqi's face getting darker and darker, and he seemed to be getting more silent.

"Little Lord?"

"Ah."

Wei Mingqi regained his composure, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Let's talk about Cang Liangye first. Where is the note he gave you?"

"..."

After taking the note, Wei Mingqi glanced at it quickly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look. When he looked up again, he saw the girls looking at him with strange eyes.

"you……"

"The surname is Wei."

Shi Fengguan folded his hands and said in a veiled tone, "They kidnapped all your men, and you dared not say a harsh word to them. It's not like you are meeting old friends again and your old feelings are still there, right?"

Yu Qing looked at her with a smile and said, "You know he is a very kind person. As long as she is pretty enough, he won't get angry even if you put a sword on her neck."

"Oh, that's right. It's said in the martial arts world that Princess Langya is extremely beautiful—"

"..."

The two of them were talking back and forth, not to mention Wei Mingqi, even Song Lingyu who was standing beside them was confused. She just felt that Yu Qing had become particularly unfamiliar after two years in Beijing.

Although she loved to laugh when she was outside before, she would never joke with men, let alone use this kind of... tone that would annoy her lover.

Wei Mingqi's face also turned a little dark. These two women were very smart. They could tell something was unusual from just a few words he said. They were just hinting at something.

The problem is that this is at home.
Can we talk about Li He?
No, before Li He expressed his opinion, this name was just like Master Taixuan, it couldn't be mentioned too often. If it was mentioned, people would think about it, and then they would feel pain in their hearts, but they would not say anything.

"You guys - cough -"

A dusty face suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, looking outside with tears in his eyes:

"Come and help me light the fire. I, I don't know how to light firewood."

"..."

"I'll do it!" Although she didn't know who the woman was, Song Lingyu immediately raised her hand and went over:

"I'm very good at making fire. I've never been discovered by anyone while making fire in the wild."

"..."

Wei Mingqi put down his raised legs, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This girl has a lively eye, she is worthy of being brought up by Yu Niang."

Snapped!
Shi Fengguan kicked him lightly and said angrily, "You only talk about others, why don't you go over and help? Look how embarrassed you are."

"..."

Wei Mingqi also found it strange.

I'm afraid that silly woman must have been blowing the fire with her cheeks puffed out, right?

It's really difficult for her. If she hadn't come to them, this woman might never have seen what firewood looks like in her life.

Now that Xie Beiling is injured, there are few women in the family who can be relied upon. It seems that he will have to take on the responsibility in the next few days.

Being a man has a hard life, he has to be busy outside and at home.

"Then I'll go cook...by the way."

Before leaving, Wei Mingqi looked back at Yu Qing and comforted him:
"Don't worry about Wang Zaiming and the others. I'll take care of them later."

"..."

Seeing him go to the kitchen, Yu and Shi, whose relationship had eased a lot, looked at each other. Finally, Shi Fengguan raised his chin and said:

"Why do I feel like there's something going on between this bastard and that princess?"

After all, they are brothers who have had a fight on the kang, and you can tell if there is anything fishy just by looking at their buttocks.

"It's not surprising if something happens, it's strange if nothing happens."

Yu Qing's almond-shaped eyes were filled with a hint of smile and thought.

Given that not many people got involved in what happened back then, even after so many years, there has been no definite version of the rumors about the relationship between Wei Mingqi, Li He, and even the King of Langya.

The most widely circulated rumor is that Dongfang Ming originally sent troops to bring the evil son back and then kill his own family for the greater good, but when Xie Wei and the other two escaped, they accidentally found the young Li He in the boat gang.

Doesn’t it sound fatalistic?

The two sworn enemies were in the same place at the time, so that while one of them escaped, the other was adopted by the other's father, and the latter's former master also dramatically became an accomplice in sheltering the evil.

All these strange coincidences made many people in the martial arts world more and more convinced that Li He was Wei Mingqi's nemesis. No matter how high the latter jumped, he would eventually meet his predetermined fate.

But as people close to Wei Mingqi, even though the former never revealed the details, Shi Fengguan and Yu Qing knew that these three people not only had a close relationship, but also that many stories had happened between them.

"That bastard is really tight-lipped."

Shi Fengguan gnashed his teeth and whispered, "One day I remembered this and was curious, so I rode on him and asked him about it, but he just kept mumbling and didn't give me a clear answer."

"..."

Young people really have fun.

With a faint sigh in his heart, the older Yu Qing saw it clearly, so he did not show any resentment in front of Wei Mingqi, but said very calmly:
"He didn't mention it, and neither did Xie Beiling, which means that things weren't very pleasant back then. Maybe all three of them have thorns in their hearts, and they can't be honest with others or even with each other. Let's just wait and see."

"..."

After her analysis, Shi Fengguan not only did not feel relieved but became worried:
"According to what you said, that person might really be here to cause trouble? On the contrary, this bastard surnamed Wei is indecisive, so won't he suffer a loss?"

She could curse Wei Mingqi, but Wei Mingqi was her man, and she had never even met Li He. No matter what happened in the past, if the other party really had bad intentions...

She doesn't have any psychological burden that Wei can't bring himself to do it.

Yu Qing, who didn't know she was ready to kill him, gave her a comforting look and said:
"When have you ever seen him suffer at the hands of a woman?"

"..."

Shi Fengguan opened his mouth, but was speechless.

No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

After this period of communication, Shi Fengguan's attitude towards Yu Qing softened a lot. He felt that although this woman was sometimes "unreasonable", she was a comrade who could discuss things with him at critical moments.

"He keeps his mouth shut. We won't discuss things with him in the future. We can't let him treat us like children all the time."

Shi Fengguan took the lead in extending the invitation:

"I haven't finished the soup in my room yet. Do you want to come over and have some?"

"……it is good."

Yu Qing accepted her invitation without much thought.

The reason was very simple. Although she could see it clearly, she still felt unhappy. She was older than Wei Mingqi, and the other party did not even discuss some things with her in private.

Yu Niang, Yu Niang,

Is that for nothing?

When he encounters trouble, he doesn't think of his mother, but when he wants to get something from her, he calls her affectionately and frequently.

I'll give him two slaps tomorrow to break his mischief!

"..."

In the kitchen, two women, one big and one small, were sitting in front of a big pot and a small pot. The smaller one was imparting her experience to the larger one.

"You see, you can't put too much firewood in at once, otherwise it will suppress the fire and the fire in the pot won't be strong enough. And if you put too much in, you can't blow it with your eyes closed like you did, otherwise all the smoke will come out."

"oh oh."

Although cooking at home was not his job, he could be asked to do the job someday, so Shi Fengque listened carefully and asked humbly:
"Lingyu, you know a lot."

"...No, it's just something that farm kids know."

The little girl blushed slightly, and she reached out a stick to poke at the stove and said:

"Next time you see the fire is getting smaller, use a stick to lift it up, and when the flames below come up, it will burn faster."

"..."

The young man holding the spatula in front of the stove listened to the conversation between the two silently. After a while, he looked up and said:
"Lingyu, your name is Song Lingyu, right? Your sister's name is Song Lingyin?"
