Chapter 18: Meeting the Palace Master [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Underworld forces?

Xifu Killer?
In the cobblestone alley, the plump woman in a green dress stopped two feet in front of him, then put away her paper umbrella, revealing her pretty face with a hint of pain between her brows.

"Your subordinate Yu Qing, pays respect to the young master——"

As she spoke, her plump and graceful body bent down and bowed to him in the snow.

"..."

Wei Mingqi was stunned and asked tentatively: "You call me Young Master? Are you from Lu?"

The woman raised her head, her oval face, as dignified and beautiful as a peony among flowers, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Master, you have been in the palace for five years. Have those people ever told you about Chaotian Palace?"

That's quite an exaggeration.

In the past, there was always a little guy in the palace who would come to bully him every now and then. While bullying him, he would review his future "great achievements" and would not forget to show his disdain before leaving.

"You're the one who's going to kill Grandpa Wan in the future? You traitor, watch out!"

"A mere mocking immortal is nothing more than this—"

"You'll rebel! You'll cause chaos in our country!"

"Woo--you dare to hit me!"

Shaking his head and getting rid of the image in his mind, Wei Mingqi began to wonder if this woman was sent by some force to test him, so he simply said:
"I don't know what Chaotian Palace is, and I'm not interested in knowing. Don't come to me just because you heard some unfounded rumors."

"Little Lord--"

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately said anxiously, "When you entered the palace, those jackals came under the guise of eradicating the remnants of evil, but we were nailed to death for this unfounded crime without doing anything! How many people have lost their families because of this? We have waited for this day for several years. How can you just ignore us?"

"..."

Wei Mingqi suddenly understood that Yu Qing was the one who was "retaliated" by Xie Beiling.

Come to think of it, it was really because of him that I got involved.

Seeing Wei Mingqi stop, Yu Qing introduced himself quickly: "My father is the descendant of the contemporary Yu Wang Spear. He has never been violent or aggressive in his life. My Yu family has always been peaceful in Guanzhong. But since the news about the young master swept the world five years ago, because of the sentence 'Heavenly official Li He broke into Chaotian Palace and defeated Yu Wang Spear and Ma Guandao in a row...'"

At this point, Yu Qing's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth and said, "With just three words, my Yu family was attacked overnight, and a total of twelve people were killed. The Yue family that attacked my father came from outside the Great Wall to make a living, and my father kindly took them in, but after they betrayed their gratitude, they were applauded everywhere in the martial arts world-"

"..."

A chill that was no different from the one five years ago enveloped Wei Mingqi. He stood still for a moment and asked, "You want me to help you get revenge, so you decided to join Chaotian Palace?"

"My family is not the only one who has experienced the same thing."

Yu Qing wiped away her tears, and a ferocious look that didn't match her gentle oval face appeared on her face: "In the past few years, I have made contacts everywhere and rounded up all those who have suffered injustice, just to wait for the day when the young master will come out and lead us to ask for justice from this world!"

"What statement?"

"Blood for blood!"

Yu Qing stared into his eyes and said word by word: "Just as the young master predicted, burn this chaotic world to ashes!"

"..."

This bitch is crazy.

What she was thinking about was no longer her own personal vendetta, but resentment towards the entire world. If Wei Mingqi really did as she wished, the new Chaotian Palace would be even more murderous than in the future.

Even in her eyes, I am just a pawn used to achieve my goal.

Wei Mingqi couldn't possibly go crazy with her, but he didn't want to offend such a lunatic easily. Who knows how many death squads who dared to resist explosives had been recruited by the other party in his name over the years? He couldn't afford to offend a lunatic who had nothing.

"I'm still young."

Wei Mingqi once again brought up his age and said, "You are too impatient, and it is easy to fail at the last moment."

In front of him, the beautiful face with tears still on it smiled at him, which made people feel extremely nervous: "Young Master, please rest assured. I have made a comprehensive plan. After I take you out of the capital, I will invite a martial arts master to teach you martial arts. In a few years, our Chaotian Palace will be able to dominate the entire martial arts world again!"

What kind of cabbage is Wu Kui?
Only the top eighteen soldiers among a hundred soldiers can be called the best. How come this woman feels more capable than him? She created a behemoth in just a few years?
Wei Mingqi instinctively felt that there was something fishy going on.

"Wu Kui?"

He pretended to ask casually: "Who is it? Is he also implicated by me?"

Yu Qing blinked her eyes gently like an older sister: "This will be kept secret for now, young master, please follow me out of the capital first."

The words sounded gentle, but Wei Mingqi always felt that if he said no, the other party would turn hostile and try to force him out of the capital.

"That sounds good."

Wei Mingqi also laughed, but then his eyes turned colder: "But who the hell are you? You have been respectful to me from the beginning to the end, but in your heart you are thinking about how to control me. You like to control me from behind so much, so Chaotian Palace will let you go."

"..."

This ruthless response made the woman in the green dress's smile fade a little.

"Come."

Wei Mingqi raised his finger and hooked it: "Let me see how much you weigh. If you like it, I will leave you a place as a dog in the future."

叩，
叩，
叩，
叩，
knock.

After five knocks on the door, everything around was calm except for the temperature in the alley which rose unnoticed. Wei Mingqi's exposed skin was as red as a branding iron, his flesh twitched for a while and then tensed again, and wisps of white mist evaporated from his pores, melting the snow within a ten-foot radius around his body.

Wei Mingqi knew.

As long as he didn't follow the other party's plan, he would inevitably "offend" her. In this situation, showing weakness to the enemy was useless and would only make Yu Qing look down on him and make things worse.

Therefore, you should appropriately display your own strength and arrogance, and let her decide for herself whether to force her way forward, which will result in losses for both parties, or to back down a few steps.

Yu Qing was indeed weighing things.

But she was considering whether to kill Wei Mingqi. The Eight Gates to Subdue Demons was the foundation of Wanren Mountain's martial arts. Now that it appeared on Wei Mingqi, it could only mean one thing: he "betrayed" his own future.

A Chaotian Fairy who works as a dog for the imperial court is just a joke and it is impossible for her to lead Chaotian Palace to achieve her desired goals.

But Wei Mingqi has incomparable value. If it were not for the last resort, Yu Qing would not take this path.

Besides——

How could a person who knew that his future was so glorious be willing to be a dog for others? Even if he was the head dog of the court, how could he compare to the great ruler of the world who could decide life and death with a single word?

Maybe he was just unhappy with his attitude?

"Little Lord--"

Thinking of this, the smile on Yu Qing's face softened again. Just as he was about to beg for mercy and give the little dragon some dignity, he heard an inconspicuous sound of wind behind him.

"who!"
