Chapter 3: Public Enemy Wei Mingqi

Soon, the wontons were served.

The swordsman in black clothes picked up the spoon and swallowed two without caring about the burning sensation. Only then did he exhale when the traveling merchant at the same table questioned him:
"At the beginning of the month, Taixuan Zhenren, the Heavenly Official of the Three Religions, passed away during the daytime of Changbai Tianchi Yu. His last divination before his death revealed the initiator of the greatest catastrophe in the world in the future, which caused an uproar in Guanzhong."

"The devil Wei Mingqi in the hexagram is actually named Dongfang Mingqi. He is the son of Langya King Dongfang Ming's first wife. He was kidnapped by the nurse in the palace shortly after he was born and his whereabouts have been unknown for eight years..."

The swordsman in black clothes talked while eating, and the people around him were like people listening to books in a teahouse. Some of them were so engrossed in the story that even the wontons in front of them had gone cold.

"Eat quickly."

The sister at the next table started to teach her brother a lesson.

No one paid attention to this little aside. When the swordsman in black clothes finished his bowl of wontons, someone immediately refilled his bowl for him. There were also sounds of amazement from the people around from time to time.

"Is Dongfang Mingqi's martial arts really so evil? Most of the eighteen martial arts champions died at his hands, and those who survived became his lackeys. This kind of devilish flame is really intoxicating."

"With a pair of bare hands, he swept across the martial arts world. It's ok to defeat Luoshen and Yijianxian, but even Zhen Qianqiu couldn't defeat him? Believe it or not - none of the stories I've read dared to write this."

"Six of the seven dragons of the four spiritual wonders are in this person's hands. Throughout history, anyone who possesses one of them can get a glimpse of the ultimate power. He possesses six of them alone, so isn't it normal that he can resist Zhen Qianqiu?"

"..."

The crowd was bustling, but the first black-clad swordsman took a spoonful of soup calmly and said slowly:

"Now the whole martial arts world has been messed up by this man. Some people who will become his lackeys in the future are now busy proving their innocence."

"If someone were to die at his hands in the future, I would follow the map to find his whereabouts and wipe out the root of the problem, thus eliminating a great evil for the martial arts world."

"There are also those who covet the Four Spiritual Treasures, including some high-ranking figures on the Martial Arts Rankings, who want to use this boy to prove his power to the fullest and become the next Zhen Qianqiu."

"..."

Everyone listened with rapt attention.

The original peddler couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't it a death sentence anyway? Regardless of right or wrong, Dongfang Mingqi will end up in trouble no matter who gets him."

"That may not be the case—"

The swordsman in black robes raised his head and looked at the neighboring table meaningfully: "It is always unpredictable. Who could have thought that the most transcendent Jade Purity Master of the Three Religions, who holds the reins of the righteous path in the world, would not only not eliminate this demon after finding him first, but would protect him instead."

"..."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Many eyes turned to where he was looking - the brother and sister.

The scene that seemed ordinary just now suddenly became frightening.

"Watch what they do, and you eat yours."

"Oh……"

The boy lowered his head again and picked up the remaining two bites of wonton.

There are few stupid people among those who have been in the world for a long time.

Soon, the people at the wonton stall scattered like birds and beasts. The one who ran the fastest was the boss. He swung the comb and ran very fast. It was obvious that he was also a martial artist when he was young.

"Martial Arts Ranking No. 78, Yue Guanshan."

The swordsman in black clothes slowly stood up with his sword in hand.

The woman dressed as a Taoist nun did not even look at him. Instead, she took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to the child who had hurriedly finished his wontons:

"Wipe your mouth."

"Oh."

"..."

Seeing this scene, the swordsman in black couldn't help but frown: "Does this generation of Heavenly Officials really want to risk the world's disapproval and go against everyone in the world? Don't forget that you will die in his hands in the future."

"Don't fart!"

The little devil shouted at him: "I will kill anyone but Master, you——"

A clear and crisp sound. "Don't yell, I'm not your master, and don't say bad words in front of me."

"I understand, Master."

"..."

After taking care of him, Xie Beiling finally turned to Yue Guanshan, speaking in the same indifferent tone:

"You just listed a lot of examples. Why did you get the Yue Family Sword?"

"Of course it's for him."

Yue Guanshan's expression straightened up: "This ferocious beast will cause countless disasters in the future. If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, who can sleep peacefully?"

"He's only eight."

"If a three-year-old can foretell old age, what about eight? Or does Jade Master not believe the prophecy of the last Heavenly Official, Tai Xuan Master?"

Yue Guanshan pressed forward with words.

But Xie Beiling couldn't refute it. Anyone in this world could question her master, Master Taixuan, except her, the disciple.

But since the moment she brought him back, Xie Beiling had already anticipated everything that would happen today and had already prepared herself mentally.

"I can educate him well."

She held the magic sword behind her and said calmly, "Even if my master was here, I would still answer like this. Do you have anything else to say?"

"..."

Having said that, nothing can be changed.

call--

The late winter wind came a long time late, blowing the mist from the hot pot between the two of them, in that vague and hazy moment.

Zheng!
In an instant, a cold light flashed, like rolling molten silver, with a loud sound and an unstoppable momentum, splitting the fog apart!
Slightly——

It was like a red bird flying in the clouds; the stunning sword that flashed for a moment seemed to disappear into the sea, and was easily caught by a magic sword that was three feet and six inches long, two fingers wide, and carved with a black tortoise.

"The sword stops the war, and the law is the weapon."

Feeling the strange force of dissipation, Yue Guanshan raised his sword upwards: "Yuqing Jiancheng will be humiliated sooner or later because of your decision today!"

Xie Beiling's expression remained unchanged. He lightly moved his elbow to push and stab the opponent, thus defeating the opponent.

As both are martial arts masters, her realm is obviously superior. With time, she will be able to enter the secluded world and be given the titles of "Immortal" and "Saint".

But Yuqing Daocheng has a sword and three coins. The sword is a sword to stop the war, and the coins are for buying lives. Since she has no intention of taking anyone's life, it means that this battle will not end for a while.

Wei Mingqi hid at the entrance of the alley and watched in fascination.

Xie Beiling didn't kill him. He could have left after that day, but Wei Mingqi shamelessly clung to her.

Just as they said when they met, although the world is big, there is no place for him except by Xie Beiling's side.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the public enemy of the world.

Wei Mingqi had no choice but to follow Xie Beiling, otherwise the best outcome for him would be death, and the worst outcome would be a life worse than death.

but……

Although he managed to stay by Xie Beiling's side, this woman was dragged down by him. In just five days, her enemies came to her house an average of three times in the morning, noon and evening, like a refreshing NPC. He didn't know how long Xie Beiling could hold on.

Today is the top 100 on the martial arts list.
When the news gets out tomorrow, the ones who will come will be the Eighteen Kui and even the real enemies in the secular world.

No matter how strong his mind was, he didn't know how to break the impasse when faced with this desperate situation. He couldn't go to Dongfang Ming, right?
Now everyone in the world knows that he killed his brother and father. If his good father and brother really send people over, it will most likely be to wipe out the roots of the crime.

The melancholy was so lingering that Wei Mingqi was not aware of it until the footsteps behind him got closer. It was too late to turn back.

"Well."

The cloth covering his face, the pungent smell and the rapidly weakening body made Wei Mingqi realize what had happened.

Damn it, a beggar who kidnaps children!
