I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 520 Shang Qiuyu's Plans
The head of the six departments of Wenxin Pavilion is no ordinary person.

Whether it was the unique skill of the Ministry of Rites or the unique skill of the Ministry of Works, they were both extraordinary.

Based on the different characteristics of the six parts, they developed different martial arts techniques.

The Ministry of Rites used music to perform rituals and established laws governing all directions.

The Ministry of Justice clearly stipulates that those who commit crimes should be executed.

The Ministry of Works planned and created the land, ensuring order and harmony.

However, when it comes to life-or-death battles, especially when facing Chu Qing, he can only show very little of what he can do.

As a result, he died on the spot in an instant.

Ultimately, it's because Chu Qing is too strong... compared to him, they are too weak.

Now, their gaze fell upon the remaining two. The two exchanged a glance and understood that the situation was hopeless.

The First Academy's Dean stepped forward first. His aura had already been unleashed and was no longer in a state of gradual increase; it was already at its peak. Therefore, he simply uttered a soft shout:
"With a pen, one can bring peace to the world!"

As he finished speaking, Chu Qing felt as if a huge scroll suddenly unfolded before her eyes.

Inscribed upon it were principles of governing the country and ensuring its peace, yet in a single instant, they transformed into countless techniques that attacked Chu Qing.

As soon as Chu Qing's eyes lit up, two buzzing sounds rang out, and ancient sword energy burst forth.

With just one glance, life and death can be separated.

With a loud crash, the technique shattered, and blood immediately trickled from the corner of the First Academy Headmaster's mouth, but he gritted his teeth:

"Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish!"

This move begins with finger techniques, continuous and subtle, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth. It starts from the smallest details, and before it is fully unleashed, it stirs up a monstrous wave that is almost as powerful as the sky covering the sun!

Suddenly, a round moon appeared in the sky.

A figure walked past the headmaster of the First Academy, a human head already quietly appearing in his palm.

Looking up again, I saw a figure already gone... The figure was like a galloping horse, so fast that it could almost cover a thousand miles in an instant.

Chu Qing smiled wryly:
"They're risking their lives to escape..."

"Pity."

The gale followed Chu Qing's inner breath, drawing a circle on the ground, and faint dragon roars rose from his body.

The next moment, he pointed his fingers like a sword and flicked them!
hum! ! !
Seeing Shang Qiuyu all the way to the present, a hint of amazement couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

The sword energy unleashed by that single finger strike was the most striking element in this otherwise deadly place.

Straightforward, direct, magnificent, and unrestrained!
Like a dragon soaring and galloping, it covers a thousand miles in an instant... stirring up dust wherever it goes.

The person running frantically sensed danger behind them.

When I turned around suddenly, I felt a great shock to my mind!

At that moment, he felt that what was chasing him from behind was not sword energy... but two dragons coiled together.

But in a mere moment, it transformed into a point of sword light.

The sword light flashed and then disappeared completely.

Only a faint trace could be seen at the corner of the eye...

"where it goes?"

He was slightly taken aback until his vision began to spin uncontrollably, at which point he realized that his head was falling off his neck.

His vital energy dissipated completely, and his life was extinguished on the spot.

Chu Qing flicked his sleeve, glanced back at Shang Qiuyu, and Shang Qiuyu raised her head slightly, about to speak, when she saw Chu Qing's figure flicker and disappear without a trace.

"This pretty boy Chu, is he planning to just leave me to die?"

Shang Qiuyu was a little flustered, after all, she was the one who called the guy a pretty boy first... Although they hadn't known each other for long, she could tell that this guy wasn't a magnanimous person.

He's probably capable of standing by and watching someone die without offering help.

Just then, a figure flashed by, and Chu Qing returned, carrying a headless corpse in his hand, which he casually threw on the ground.

Then the corpses of the other academy leaders were also moved over.

"The six heads of Wenxin Pavilion joined forces to kill you, the current Xuan Emperor."

"But in the end, we all died here."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Your Majesty, after we deal with these corpses, I will take you to try your luck and see if anyone can cure the poison in your body."

"No."

Shang Qiuyu shook her head:

"I cannot leave yet."

"You intend to wait for the Ghost Emperor here?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"You won't be able to wait any longer, the Ghost Emperor is already dead."

"what?"

Shang Qiuyu was taken aback:
"Who did it?"

"I."

Chu Qing paused in her movement of the corpse, then looked up and her gaze fell on Shang Qiuyu.

Shang Qiuyu's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Why?"

"There are many reasons... but in the end, it all boils down to one thing: he deserved to die."

Chu Qing continued her work, first searching through the corpses, since they were all deans, what if they had some good stuff on them?
It turned out that these people were quite professional... When they came to make a living by killing, they didn't carry any valuables with them, so as not to let their opponents benefit after they died.

Given the tragic deaths of several of them, Chu Qing found it quite difficult to sort through the bodies.

After finally managing to gather them together, they began to deal with them using the firepower of the Flame Blade...

Ever since the Ghost Emperor incident, Chu Qing has harbored a prejudice against these corpses that haven't turned to ash. He always feels that they will inexplicably jump up and then fight him for three hundred rounds.

While destroying the body and covering up the evidence, he gave a brief account of what had happened inside the Ten Deadly Caves.

The focus is now on the Ghost Emperor...

However, this also led to the revelation of the Ghost Emperor's family affairs.

Shang Qiuyu was quite calm at first, but as she listened, her face turned ashen.

Only after Chu Qing finished speaking did he slap his thigh and angrily say:

“This is outrageous! I thought he was deeply in love with his wife, which is why I considered him a confidant.”

"But I never imagined that it was all a lie!"

"But that makes sense. If he's so deeply in love, why would he seek out two wives? We really misjudged him."

Chu Qing coughed:
"If you're deeply in love, it won't stop you from finding someone else."

"……Um?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qiuyu glanced at Chu Qing and sneered:
"I almost forgot, you are also a heartless and fickle person, with two confidantes and you even seduce my daughter."

"It's hard to trust someone like you when you speak..."

"Are all the things you said about the Ghost Emperor truly true?"

“The shepherd was also present when this happened… By the way, this is the token she gave me, saying that you would believe me as soon as you saw it.”

Chu Qing took out the light blue brocade handkerchief from her bosom.

He tossed it to Shang Qiuyu.

Shang Qiuyu took it casually, her face darkening even more:

"She even gave you such a cherished item?"

"...No, Senior Shang, I think you have misunderstood me. I didn't have time to explain earlier. I have no designs on your daughter."

It was just that I accidentally glanced at her body a couple of times...

However, I can't blame myself for that. After all, the shepherd girl ran over for no reason, and I had no idea she wasn't wearing any clothes.
It's better to avoid trouble, so Chu Qing didn't mention this matter.

Otherwise, you'll most likely get into trouble.

"I do not believe it!!"

Shang Qiuyu said decisively:
"My daughter is a beauty of unparalleled grace, her looks no less than her mother's, and she also possesses the best qualities of my own. To call her the most beautiful woman in the martial world might be an understatement..."

"But she is absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world!!"
"How could anyone see her and not like her? Not be attracted to her?" "..."

This person definitely has some issues.

At first, he said that the title of "the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world" was undeserved, and I thought he had some self-awareness. But then he came up with the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world".

However, it seems there's nothing wrong with a father thinking his daughter is beautiful.

But the problem is, this topic has gone off-topic.

Chu Qing quickly said:

"Your daughter is indeed beautiful, but there are plenty of beautiful people in the world. Do you think I can fall in love with every single one I meet?"

"Furthermore, by giving you this, I'm proving what I said, and also proving that your daughter approves of me..."

"My daughter...accepts you!"

A touch of sadness suddenly appeared on Shang Qiuyu's face:
"Alas... ever since she was a helpless infant, I have been taking care of her."

"Press her to burp, pat her to sleep..."

Teach her to speak, and guide her to walk.

"In the blink of an eye, that little chubby girl has grown into a graceful young lady, and you actually said that she approves of you!"

"No, I cannot accept this!"

"...Can you please shut up?"

Chu Qing felt a throbbing pain in his head, and he waved his hand:
"Can't we continue this normal conversation anymore? I'll just ask you one question: do you believe me?"

"I don't believe you!!"

Shang Qiuyu said decisively.

Chu Qing's face darkened, and just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Shang Qiuyu's sorrowful voice say:
"But I trust my little boy."

"...So, you still believed it?"

"Don't be so smug. If I believe you, it's not because I believe you, but because I believe my precious daughter!"

"Your precious daughter trusts me."

"...That one from the Imperial Faith is also..."

"Alright, alright, alright, the body is almost burned. Since you trust me, you should know that waiting here is no use."

Chu Qing interrupted him directly, feeling that she couldn't have any serious conversations with this person.

Before coming here, the shepherd boy said that Shang Qiuyu was a henpecked husband, but now it seems that he is a daughter-obsessed husband.

But then again... men are burdened with the debts of children and devoted to their wives for half their lives.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The only problem is that even the mighty Xuan Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of today, a person standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, is not immune to the common fate... and is even more serious than ordinary people, which is truly both laughable and lamentable.

Chu Qing turned around and appeared beside Shang Qiuyu, grabbing her shoulder:
"You have been poisoned by a drop of water. Do not use your internal energy. Come with me. I will tell you the rest on the way."

Shang Qiuyu put the handkerchief back into her bosom:
"Let's go then."

The Ghost Emperor is dead, so there's really no point in him staying here.

Chu Qing gained the shepherd boy's trust, so Shang Qiuyu naturally trusted Chu Qing as well.

Since there are no objections between them, whatever Chu Qing says goes...

As for the life-or-death danger, Shang Qiuyu didn't take it to heart.

Of course, he didn't take it to heart, but Chu Qing couldn't help but make things clear to him.

Along the way, he explained everything in detail, from the origin of the poison in the drop of water to the possibility of a solution, and then to the current state of the world.

Although Shang Qiuyu becomes an idiot when it comes to his wife and daughter.

However, after breaking out of this vicious cycle, he still possessed the insight that the Xuan Emperor should have.

Therefore, after Chu Qing finished speaking, he said:

"If I cannot cure this poison, the Southern Region may indeed be in some danger."

"I'm afraid the Heavenly Evil Sect won't send everyone to their deaths. Although you are highly skilled in martial arts, you are not able to be in two places at once... You can hold off the west, but it will be difficult to hold off the east."

"Is this why you came to see me?"

"Yes."

Chu Qing nodded.

Shang Qiuyu immediately frowned:
"You really are no good, you and Tong'er..."

"My relationship with your servant is completely innocent, we're both honest and upright, like a simple meal of tofu with scallions, do you understand?!"

Chu Qing's face darkened:
"Can we please stop dwelling on this?"

"That's okay..."

Shang Qiuyu hesitated, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

After thinking for a moment, he said:
"One last thing?"

"...Can't I just not tell you?"

"You'll suffocate."

"...Then you tell me."

Chu Qing used his unparalleled lightness skill to carry him across the void. He couldn't just leave him behind now; after all, his mouth was on his body, so how could he possibly cover it up?

"As you probably know, I am a son-in-law."

"In my lineage of merchants, Tong'er is my only child... and she's a girl."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a girl or not. The problem is that I've spoiled Tong'er so much that she doesn't care about martial arts at all."

"So much so that the Nine Profound Divine Skill ended with her."

"Fortunately, I am still in my prime, and the child is a beauty of unparalleled grace, and will be married in the future."

"If there is a talented young man who is willing to marry into the family, when Tong'er has children in the future, one can be given the surname Shang, another can be given the surname Mu, and yet another... given the surname of her husband."

Chu Qing couldn't bear to listen any longer:
"Do you think your daughter is a pig? You're expecting her to have three as a start?"

"Then why did you only have one child?"

"Having two is fine too."

Shang Qiuyu said:
"If her future husband is willing, they can have two children, one surnamed Shang and the other surnamed Mu."

"As for me, I feel sorry for my wife and don't want her to go through the pain of childbirth again."

"..."

Chu Qing pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that this old man seemed to have a conscience after all.

It's just that there's not much conscience... it doesn't seem to be all in the shepherd boy.

More of it grew on his wife, so he asked:

"so what?"

"So! When I have a grandson, I can pass on the [Nine Profound Divine Skill] to him."

Shang Qiuyu said:
“I can hone and train this child from a young age, so that he can stand out from the crowd!”

"He must be made to inherit the throne of the Xuan Emperor!"

"...You're dreaming."

Chu Qing's lips twitched.

Shang Qiuyu smiled and said to Chu Qing:
"So, how about it? You'd rather give up your two female confidantes and marry my daughter instead."

"Your child will be the next Xuan Emperor!"

"Wake up, you've gotten this drunk from just a few peanuts? We should head down..."

"Ah? Where to go?"

Shang Qiuyu was bewildered.

Suddenly, I felt myself plummeting downwards. When my feet touched solid ground, I looked around in confusion and found myself standing in front of several thatched huts.

Beside the medicinal herb garden in the fenced yard, a person sat in a wheelchair, happily watering the plants with a watering can.

Perhaps hearing the noise, he turned around and was immediately speechless with astonishment:
"Shang Qiuyu, what are you doing here?"
