Chapter 503 Mysterious Force
Fu Qingzhou walked out of the river, the filth and blood on his body had been washed clean.

Not far away he could hear the sound of splashing water and the laughter of girls, but he didn't even dare to look and just walked to the riverside.

An autumn breeze blew past, blowing through the wet clothes that stuck to his skin. Although he did not feel cold, he was very uncomfortable. So he used the Qi Ran Jue, and his blazing true energy circulated. Soon, bursts of white mist rose from his body.

When the white mist dissipated, everything from hair to clothes and shoes was dry.

At this time, the sound of wet footsteps came from behind him.

"That's a good move."

That was Qiu Chan's voice.

Fu Qingzhou was about to turn around, but he heard Qiu Chan suddenly say shyly and nervously: "Don't look back!"

"Uh……"

Fu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, without looking back, and then smiled and said, "Why, you don't know how to dry your clothes?"

"If I use my power, my clothes will just freeze." Qiu Chan's dissatisfied voice came from behind him: "Or, you..."

As she spoke, her tone became shy and nervous again, with a hint of hesitation: "Can you help me?"

Fu Qingzhou felt a little anxious and wanted to turn back.

But the next moment, Qiu Chan stopped him again: "Don't look back!"

"No, sister." Fu Qingzhou said helplessly: "If I don't turn around and have my back to you, I can't use my power to help you, right?"

"No."

Qiu Chan gritted her teeth and said, "They... they are still washing!"

Fu Qingzhou found it a little funny and said jokingly, "How about I help them dry their clothes later?"

"No!" Qiu Chan was furious: "You really are a pervert!"

"OK OK."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Come to my front, I'll help you dry it, let's go back first, and leave them alone for now."

After a short silence, Qiu Chan hummed softly.

Then, she took light steps and stood in front of Fu Qingzhou like a breeze.

When she stood there, Fu Qingzhou's heartbeat instantly quickened.

No matter how many lives I have lived, I am still a young man now. I am also a martial artist, so my blood is vigorous and my blood is boiling. It is hard not to get carried away...

Qiu Chan was the most beautiful person Fu Qingzhou had ever seen. At this moment, her pretty face was slightly red, and her wet hair was draped over her temples, making her indescribably charming.

Her crystal eyes seemed full of affection, and when she looked into Fu Qingzhou's eyes, ripples could not help but form in his heart.

She stood in front of Fu Qingzhou, all wet, her clothes clinging to her skin, vaguely outlining her graceful figure, like a lotus emerging from the water reflecting the sunlight, with water droplets hanging on her body like morning dew. Her beauty at this moment was made even more moving by the mist and shyness.

As the autumn wind blew, the water droplets on her body drifted away with the wind, like drizzle wetting clothes without being seen, and petals falling to the ground without being heard.

"How long do you want to watch?"

Seeing Fu Qingzhou staring at her in a daze, Qiu Chan's face turned even redder and she scolded in a low voice: "Aren't you going back to find sister Tang Jiao?"

"Cough cough..."

Fu Qingzhou coughed lightly, calmed himself down, then gently stretched out his hand and placed it on Qiu Chan's shoulder.

The wet, thin clothes stuck to her round shoulders. Fu Qingzhou stretched out his hand and pressed it, as if touching her skin directly, causing his palm to tremble slightly.

Fortunately, in the next moment, he used the Qi Ran Jue.

In an instant, white mist rose from Qiu Chan's body, enveloping her. Then the mist was blown away by the wind. In less than a moment, all the moisture on her body was evaporated, and everything from her hair to her clothes was dry.

"All right."

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand.

The blush on Qiu Chan's face faded a little, and she glared at him coquettishly: "Hmph." The two looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.

At this time, the laughter of the female disciples of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple came from the river not far away: "Young Master Fu, your cultivation is so profound. You have helped Senior Sister Qiu, so please help us too~"

"That's it. How can we favor one over the other?"

"Come over and help us steam the water, okay?"

"We have been fighting side by side for a while, Master Fu, you can't just help Senior Sister Qiu."

They were talking at the same time, making Fu Qingzhou so overwhelmed that he didn't even dare to turn his head.

"Alright! Shut up!"

Qiu Chan put her hands on her waist, looked over Fu Qingzhou's shoulder and looked into the river, and said sternly: "A bunch of little rascals! Build a fire and dry yourself off later!"

After saying that, she grabbed Fu Qingzhou's sleeve and dragged him, striding towards the capital, leaving behind only the laughter of a group of young women in the river.

……

After returning to Beijing, Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan did not continue their journey on foot. Instead, they rented a rickshaw and headed towards Baishi Street.

It was almost dusk, and there were not many cars on the street, so there was no traffic jam, and they also needed to save some energy.

Just in case... just in case we have to fight again later, it would always be better to save some energy.

"Speaking of which..."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "In your opinion, where did these people come from?"

"Didn't you say it?" Qiu Chan glanced at him, "Hui Jue's influence outside the Jinchan Temple."

"But they don't know that I have broken through the seventh realm."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "When I broke through, Huijue saw it with his own eyes... Moreover, they wanted to kill me, but Huijue wanted to take me away. From this point of view, they are not in the same group."

"It seems that the deceased Jiang Bapai is not only related to Jinchan Temple." Qiu Chan frowned: "In other words, the person that Huijue, Huixin and others contacted through Jiang Bapai is a powerful and mysterious organization?"

This is easy to understand. Just as they had just started investigating Jiang Bapai, this contact person was found dead on the street. Then someone said that Fu Qingzhou "reached too far" and wanted to kill him.

But it is easy to understand...

“This is still a little strange.”

Fu Qingzhou rubbed his chin and said slowly: "If it has nothing to do with Huijue, then their reaction is too intense. We just stole a list and asked Sister Asheng to secretly follow Jiang Bapai. Strictly speaking, we haven't found anything yet, right?"

"rational."

After hearing what he said, Qiu Chan also pondered: "It's equivalent to... they just had a contact person being investigated, and then they found out that you were behind Ah Sheng, and sent out the powerful assassins such as the Jibei Five Ghosts... Indeed, the reaction was too intense."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "Unless..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "...They have been paying attention to us for a long time!"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "Hui Jue is their partner. Now I have forced him to flee and his plan has failed. We have already found out about Jiang Bapai. They are aware of the danger and finally decided to attack me."

Qiu Chan also laughed: "It seems that we may have offended them unknowingly?"

"Not necessarily."

Fu Qingzhou shrugged: "Maybe when we became enemies with Huijue and the others, we were already targeted by these people."

As they were talking, the carriage gradually slowed down and was about to arrive at the destination.

The two stopped talking, jumped off the carriage, paid the bill, and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

As soon as they approached the courtyard, their faces changed at the same time... Such a strong smell of blood!
