Chapter 142: Chapter 118: A Peerless Master Is by My Side
In the whole of South Xiang, Xu Wanqing is a renowned master-level martial artist.
At the same time, she is also the top expert of the Linjiang Xu Clan, the familyâs Sea Guardian Needle.
"Hello, Aunt."
Ye Qingzhou nodded with a smile. His cooperation with the Xu Family had always been very pleasant, so he was willing to maintain this good relationship.
Xu Wanqing rushed back from another province upon receiving an urgent request for help from her husband Xu Yinquan, which showed her level of concern for Ye Qingzhou.
"Ye Qingzhou, rest assured, as long as Iâm here, Gu Guangqi wonât harm a hair on you."
"Thanks for the concern, but why should I worry about a dead man?"
"Dead man? Gu Guangqi is dead?"
Xu Wanqing showed an expression of astonishment, as did Xu Yinquan and Xu Lan, who exchanged glances.
Their first reaction was to think Ye Qingzhou was joking, but they soon became incredulous, for Gu Guangqi really hadnât shown up for days!
This was very unusual!
It should be known that Gu Guangqi was the master-level martial artist responsible for guarding Golden Scale Manor. No matter how bold he was, he wouldnât dare to abandon his job and mission, going absent for several days.
In the Dongji Kingdom, that was a serious crime!
After all, if something happened at the Grotto Heaven, and a powerful mythical life rushed out, many people could die, and no one could bear such a heavy responsibility.
The Dongji Kingdom isnât like the Western Pole Kingdom or Europe, where the safety of their citizens is dismissed.
Xu Yinquan hastily led Ye Qingzhou to one side, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is Gu Guangqi really dead? How did he die?"
Ye Qingzhou couldnât be bothered to lie, "Letâs say I killed him."
At that time, he had crushed Kang Jinlongâs Dragon Essence, achieving the power of mental imagery in the Martial Saint realm, and thus was able to crush Gu Guangqi like an ant.
But such matters, even if spoken of, might not be believed, so Ye Qingzhou was too lazy to explain the details.
Xu Yinquan, seeing this, although still very doubtful, instinctively felt that what Ye Qingzhou said was likely true.
Gu Guangqi, Du Jianping, and Songg Yanhai, these martial arts masters who hadnât died in a decade in Linjiang City, had three of them dead in just ten days because of Ye Qingzhou.
If Xu Yinquan knew the truth, heâd probably be scared to death.
What kind of walking disaster is this?
Even martial arts masters can be killed!
Just as Xu Yinquan was about to say more, his phone rang. After a few words, his expression changed dramatically, "Okay, Chairman, Iâll be right there."
He hung up, and Xu Wanqing couldnât help but curiously ask, "What happened?"
Xu Yinquan sighed, "The main branch of the Songg Family has been annihilated."
Xu Wanqing, shocked by the news, exclaimed, "Songg Yanhaiâs Wind and Thunder Ultimate Blade is incredibly fierce, even I have to be wary. In all of South Xiang, who but Chairman Bai could wipe out the main branch of the Songg Family?"
Xu Yinquan shook his head, "Thatâs not all. Itâs said another master-level expert was also killed on the scene."
"Who?"
"Cecil from the Source Blood Association."
"!!!"
Xu Wanqingâs beautiful face turned pale with fright, "Since when did Linjiang City have such an earth-shattering expert?"
To kill two seasoned master-level experts in one night, this kind of power means that if the opponent wishes, they could easily wipe out other martial arts noble families.
Itâs like a pond that was originally full of croaking frogs suddenly housing a ferocious crocodile.
Even if the crocodile is just napping, the other creatures in the pond would likely be trembling in fear due to the danger.
Xu Yinquan knew the gravity of the situation, "Bai Yuanhu not only called me but others from martial arts noble families to convene. This incident is no small matter, and we must handle it carefully."
"Alright, you go take care of things, Iâll handle the family affairs."
Xu Wanqing, as the top expert of the Xu Family, naturally needed to hold down the fort at home.
Seeing everyone acting as if facing a great enemy, Ye Qingzhou truly wanted to say: âDonât worry, the ultimate expert youâre looking for is right beside me.â
But on second thought, he decided against it.
After all, Yingyue was his trump card for now; the best strategy was to keep her a secret to take others by surprise.
After saying goodbye to Xu Yuebingâs family and returning to Jiangshan Imperial View, Ye Qingzhou lightly tapped the "bracelet" on his hand as soon as he entered the house.
Yingyue murmured softly, stretched lazily on Ye Qingzhouâs wrist, and then transformed into her human form.
"Langjun, your abode is quite unique."
Yingyue curiously examined the villa before her and was enchanted by the human-made technological creations, like a curious child without a trace of the fearsome image that made martial arts noble families tremble.
Xu Yinquan and Xu Wanqing would find it hard to imagine that the grandmaster they regarded as a threat is actually the captivating woman with darting eyes before them.
"Find a room to settle in, and donât break the furniture," Ye Qingzhou had just finished speaking when the LCD monitor on the wall sparked and exploded, the screen crackling and breaking apart.
"..."
Yingyue, thinking the monitor was a treasure, subconsciously tried to refine it with her Earth Evil Qi, and accidentally blew up the TV.
What could Ye Qingzhou say?
He could only choose to forgive.
"Langjun, Iâm sorry."
Yingyue lowered her head in regret, much like a child caught in mischief.
Ye Qingzhou rubbed his temples, then consoled, "Itâs okay, Iâll just buy a new one, and deduct it from your salary."
"Whatâs a salary?"
Yingyue cocked her head, having grown up in the Lingyun Grotto Heaven with only play and cultivation in her life, completely unfamiliar with the human world.
As for Ye Qingzhou, he only realized at this moment that he had hired a martial arts grandmaster of the Earth Evil Realm but hadnât given her a salary?
How could that be?
Could it lead to being beaten up?
