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

Chapter 601: Is it feasible?

That day, Chu Qing and Jiang Li chatted in the study for about half an hour.

The next day, Chu Qing left Wudi City with Wu Qianhuan, Wenrou, and Mutong'er, heading to Qinghe City in Zhongzhou.

On this day, Jiang Li also left Chu Qing's residence and began to spend money lavishly.

Someone got wind of it and learned that Jiang Li had received a task from Chu Qing to help Chu Qing acquire some assets.

This former owner of Wanbaolou possessed exceptional business acumen; when he did make a move, it was always a major undertaking.

This immediately caused a tremor in the Five Emperors City.

Inside a restaurant in the Five Emperors City.

Two people were drinking together. There were a few small dishes on the table. They didn't eat or drink much, but they talked a lot.

"left already?"

"gone."

"Isn't it going a little too smoothly?"

"He is now the best in the world, and he should be very proud of himself."

"But he shouldn't be someone who gets carried away by success."

"That's because the person who got into trouble was Chen Ting."

"Yue Wang Pavilion alone seems a bit lacking... Could it be that he's also waiting for us to make a move?"

"That's possible."

"There might be a trap right next to Jiang Li."

"Therefore, we cannot act rashly."

"How long?"

"Three days?"

"It's too short……"

"He'll be back soon enough; I'm afraid Prince Meng won't be able to hold him off for long."

"Then three days! If there is no trace of this person after three days, we will raze Five Emperors City to the ground and capture Jiang Li!"

"No! Just as we haven't laid a hand on his parents or relatives, we shouldn't take any unnecessary actions unless we can kill him with a single blow. Otherwise, it might backfire!"

The other side fell silent.

These two people are naturally the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult and the head manager.

Since leaving the Jiang family's territory, they have been looking for an opportunity to kidnap Jiang Li.

Unfortunately, Jiang Li had always been by Chu Qing's side, and even though the two of them were currently in the Five Emperors City, they dared not make any rash moves.

In particular, they dared not make a move rashly in front of Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was able to let the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader escape from his grasp twice, but there would never be a third time.

Because they had all heard about what had happened in the Southern Region.

Li Juechen appeared in the Southern Region, only to be annihilated by Chu Qing with a single move, Maha Wuliang.

The terrain crumbled at the point of the battle, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

After hearing this, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult turned pale, realizing that Chu Qing's Maha Boundless had undergone another change.

The first two times, I managed to run fast enough, but if it happens again, I probably won't have any hope.

He now places all his hopes on the Jiang family's [Creation Scripture]... If he can obtain this secret teaching of a reclusive family, he might be able to find some way to break the Maha Boundless.

The key to all of this lies with Jiang Li.

They dared not lay a hand on those around Chu Qing because they all valued their lives.

With Chu Qing's current martial arts skills, if his family members are captured, unless he is threatened to commit suicide on the spot, they might not be the first to die if anything happens to them, but they will be the next to die.

They wanted to kill Chu Qing, not to be killed by him.

So I don't plan to use that method... Not to mention it might not work, even if it did work, it would most likely have the opposite effect.

Therefore, kidnapping Jiang Li is necessary, but it must be done discreetly.

To avoid completely enraging Chu Qing.

They would rather face a rational and calm Chu Qing than a Chu Qing driven mad by hatred.

……

……

Qinghe City belongs to Yue Wang Pavilion.

After the four major sects were swept away by Li Juechen, the remaining disciples of Yue Wang Pavilion returned to Yue Wang Pavilion with the support of Chu Qing.

Chen Jingsheng, the current head of Yue Wang Pavilion, can be considered the tallest among the short, barely managing to keep the Yue Wang Pavilion's legacy intact.

His younger brother, Chen Jingrui, was a merchant in Qinghe City.

They weren't considered a wealthy family in the past, but after Chen Jingsheng became the head of Yue Wang Pavilion, his business improved significantly.

Chen Ting was Chen Jingrui's only beloved son.

According to the neighbors in Qinghe City, this child was smart from a young age, and was often mischievous.

But he is not a truly wicked person.

As Chen Jingrui rose in status, he also developed some spoiled habits, but he was far from being arrogant and domineering.

But unexpectedly, this time, I suffered this misfortune out of nowhere.

Early this morning, Chen Jingrui was already waiting outside Qinghe City.

Since it concerned Yue Wang Pavilion, the news was quickly relayed back. Knowing that Alliance Leader Chu was coming to this place, Chen Jingsheng was unable to leave, but he sent a message to Chen Jingrui, instructing him to greet him with the utmost courtesy.

Do not be negligent!

Chen Jingrui knew what was good for him, so before dawn, without even having breakfast, he took some dry rations and led a large group of people out of the city.

Accompanying him was the current lord of Qinghe City.

This person is also a disciple of Yue Wang Ge.

His name is Lu Zhifei.

The two met when they were leaving the city. Knowing what the other was doing, they decided to travel together.

In this season, the mornings are chilly.

Lu Zhifei was alright, as he was a martial artist, but Chen Jingrui was a bit lacking. He didn't know martial arts, and his lips were so cold that they turned a little purple, but he still insisted on not backing down.

It wasn't until the sun rose higher and higher that I felt like I had been revived.

With noon fast approaching, and feeling both hungry and cold, Lu Zhifei suddenly said:

"coming……"

"coming!?"

Chen Jingrui snapped out of his daze and quickly stood up straight.

Looking up, I saw a group of four people walking slowly towards me at the end of the road.

The group strolled leisurely, not as if they were in a hurry, but rather as if they were searching for plum blossoms in the snow, enjoying the scenery and chatting happily.

The group stopped talking when a young man dressed in white glanced in their direction.

The next moment, Chen Jingrui's eyelids twitched.

The group of people didn't seem to be moving very fast, but in the blink of an eye, they were already right in front of them.

Chen Jingrui immediately looked at the young man in front of him.

This is the leader of the Chu Alliance!?
Why are you so young?

Although Chu Qing was rumored to be twenty years old after the New Year, the one in front of me looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen.
With rosy lips and white teeth, and delicate features, he was undeniably handsome, though perhaps not quite.

But fair skin hides a hundred flaws... Just his skin alone makes him particularly pleasing to the eye.

Is this the most outstanding person in the world today?
When he went out, he was only accompanied by three girls?

Chen Jingrui didn't dare to look at Wu Qianhuan and the others for long, only glancing at them before looking away.

Then he knelt down as if a mountain of gold and a jade pillar had been overturned:

"Chen Jingrui pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"

Meanwhile, Lu Zhifei on the other end had already knelt on one knee:

"Lu Zhifei pays his respects to the Alliance Leader."

Before their knees even touched the ground, both of them felt as if there was a ball of tough cotton where their knees touched, making it impossible for them to kneel down.

Not only that, the force emanating from the ground also pushed them up. Then Chu Qing said with a smile:

"You two don't need to be so polite, we're all family."

"On the contrary, haven't I kept you two waiting? You've certainly had a hard time..."

One sentence immediately made Chen Jingrui feel very favorably toward him.

Although I know that my feelings for him are meaningless to him, I can't help but feel moved that such a top person in the world would speak to me in this way.

Lu Zhifei quickly said:

"Not long, not long, that is, just arrived."

"Lord Lu's words are not true. Look at Manager Chen, his lips have turned purple."

"Alright, the area outside the city is not a place for idle chatter. Let's go into the city first."

"Sigh, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Judging from the people following behind the two, it's clear that a welcoming ceremony is essential.

Chu Qing didn't intend to waste time on these things, so he waved his hand, and the next moment, Lu Zhifei and Chen Jingrui felt a force pull them into it.

Then came a dizzying spin, and when I came to my senses, I was back on solid ground.

They had already arrived in Qinghe City.

Lu Zhifei was relatively skilled in martial arts, so he was alright. However, Chen Jingrui was quite frightened. He looked around with a look of horror on his face.

This also made me realize the true value of this "Number One Person in the World".

Chu Qing ignored Chen Jingrui and instead spoke to Lu Zhifei:

"I will first accompany Manager Chen to the Chen family as a guest. Please tell me what you have gathered over the past few days."

Lu Zhifei gave a wry smile:
"I have failed in my duties and I beg the Alliance Leader to punish me."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing nodded thoughtfully:

"So, you didn't find a single trace of Prince Meng?"

"……Yes."

Lu Zhifei looked ashamed.

Chu Qing then looked at Chen Jingrui, who had recovered considerably. Although he still looked incredulous, he had at least calmed down.

Then Chu Qing said:

"Manager Chen, I wonder how your son is doing these days?"

"This child... has been sleeping the whole time."

Chen Jingrui said helplessly:
"He was sleeping very strangely... I couldn't wake him up no matter how I called him."

"He would not eat or drink and would not wake up on ordinary days. Even medicine could not be forced down his throat. It was only because my elder brother obtained a miraculous medicine from Yue Wang Pavilion that his life was saved."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have already fallen into a deep sleep."

"It's not a big deal."

Chu Qing casually said:

"Let's go, let's go to the Chen family first."

Chen Jingrui nodded quickly and led the way.

Her heart was filled with unease... Chu Qing said it wasn't a big deal and that he could definitely save her son.

But Chu Qing didn't give a definitive answer; at least he didn't make his point completely clear.

This made Chen Jingrui feel that Chu Qing seemed to have other motives.

This is a businessman's intuition.

As they walked towards the Chen family home, Chen Jingrui wanted to talk more with Chu Qing about Chen Ting, but Lu Zhifei and Chu Qing kept chatting and he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Chu Qing, on the other hand, is adept at social maneuvering. Despite his young age, he acts like a seasoned veteran.

This made Chen Jingrui admire it even more.

It truly feels like extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; Chu Qing's achievements are by no means accidental.

However, looking at Chu Qing like this, he couldn't help but wonder if there really were people in the world who were born with knowledge.
Otherwise, how could he be so shrewd at such a young age?

They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the Chen residence.

But as soon as he entered the door, Chen Jingrui was stunned.

Just as I turned the corner behind the screen wall, I saw two girls squatting by the edge of the courtyard.

Two people were each holding a small wooden stick, poking at the ground, separating the snow to reveal the bluestone and soil.

Chen Jingrui was stunned because he had never seen these two girls before.

Where did these two come from?

Just as he was about to reprimand her, he heard a girl say:
"Listen up, you ants inside! From today onwards, this land is mine!"

Another girl followed up with:

"That's right, if you want to make a living here, you have to be our subordinates!"
"From now on, you will move whatever I tell you to move. If you disobey, I will pour boiling water on you!!"

Chen Jingrui looked bewildered.

What does this mean? Who are these two talking to?
How did two idiots suddenly walk into the house?

After realizing what had happened, he flew into a rage and hurriedly waved his hand:

"Steward...steward, someone come here! Someone come here! Quickly get these two little girls out of here..."

Before the word "get out" could even be uttered, Chu Qing said:

"You two have really grown up, bullying ants here? In the dead of winter, are there even any ants?"

"They're definitely sleeping in an anthill!!"

Nianxin pointed at the ant nest, looking so confident.

"You don't understand this?"

Nian An looked at Chu Qing with disbelief; she had never seen such a foolish person in the world.

Chu Qing's lips twitched slightly, and she sighed helplessly, saying to Chen Jingrui:
"My two maids aren't very bright... I hope Manager Chen won't take offense."

Manager Chen didn't seem to mind, and taking advantage of Chu Qing's lack of attention, he quickly swallowed back the two words he was about to say.

Then he smiled and said:

"My two young ladies are so innocent and adorable, how could we possibly find fault with them?"

Nianxin and Nian'an glanced at him and snorted.

Chen Jingrui's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if they had heard the words he had cursed at them in his mind.

Chu Qing then said with a smile:

"That's good……

"Let's go, take us to see your son."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Nianxin and Nian'an:
"You guys hurry up too."

Since the battle at the Ten Deadly Caves, the two girls have seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Chu Qing was too busy to pay attention to them, and with her constant running around, it was only much later that she realized she hadn't seen the two lovable characters for a very long time.

However, I didn't take it too seriously.

It wasn't until recently that the nun from Bodhi Nunnery came to visit Chu Qing, bringing the two of them with her.

Chu Qing then learned that the two girls had run away after the battle at the Ten Deadly Caves.

I've gone to find a place to become a mountain king...

Later, he was captured by the nuns of Bodhi Temple and taken back to the mountain. After Chu Qing's fame reached its peak, he was sent back to the temple.

It just so happens that the martial arts of their Bodhi Nunnery can be used in this matter concerning Prince Meng.

Chu Qing secretly brought the two of them along as well. In order not to attract attention, Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan and the others came by the main road, while Nian Xin and Nian An were 'airlifted' by a bird.

It was because they witnessed Chu Qing's ability to control the Sky Eagle of the Desolate Region that they were inspired... to believe that animals could also be tamed.

They couldn't control something as big as the Sky Eagle.

But what about ants...maybe they'll work?
