I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 76 Tortoise Shell Binding

The infirmary of Linjiang No.1 Middle School.

Hou Fei lay on the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, looking utterly dejected, as if he had a terminal illness, his eyes devoid of any light.

At that moment, he looked just like a salted fish that was about to dry out.

"Where's Shanshan? Why hasn't she come to visit me yet?"

At the bedside, several tall and burly track and field athletes exchanged glances upon hearing this, then revealed expressions of pity and began to advise, "Brother Fei, don't ask anymore."

"Yeah, Fei-ge, you should just forget about that kind of woman."

"I can't forget it! I just can't forget it!"

Hou Fei roared, tears streaming down his face, "At first, I really did approach her just for fun. But then I realized that although her breasts weren't big, they were small and quite cute. By the time I realized something was wrong, I had genuinely fallen for her! This time, I'm serious!"

"Brother Fei, listen to me. Yun Shanshan is a woman who thinks she has empathy, is kind at heart, is born to love, is undefinable, can provide emotional value, is independent in thought, is dependent in economics, is conservative about dowry, and is open-minded in body. In the end, she doesn't even know whose child it is."

"It's not worth it for a woman like that, Fei-ge."

"She's just accepting gifts without giving a clear response; she's obviously trying to hook you, Fei-ge!"

"Shut up! I won't allow anyone to slander Shanshan like that!"

Hou Fei was completely obsessed at this moment, as if he had entered a sycophantic mode.

Just then, Ye Qingzhou and Yun Shanshan passed by the infirmary, and their conversation drifted into the room through the window.

"Ye Qingzhou, can I sleep at your place tonight?"

"no."

"Why? There are so many positions I haven't learned yet, and I want you to teach me properly."

"I also need to practice at night, so I can only teach you for a maximum of one hour each day."

"What a disappointment."

Yun Shanshan's coquettish tone was like the soft, melodious Wu dialect, each word exquisite and soothing.

However, after hearing this, Hou Fei felt as if his heart was about to break.

"Ah~"

"Holy crap, Fei-ge's wound has reopened!"

"Brother Fei, don't do this, Brother Fei!"

"You have to hang in there!"

"Teacher Lei, something terrible has happened! Fei-ge is dying!"

In the infirmary, chaos erupted as everyone scrambled to calm Hou Fei down and bandage his reopened wound once more.

…………

The sun sets in the west, at the gate of No. 1 Middle School.

Ye Qingzhou, carrying his sword pouch, took out his phone to check the time: "What's that woman Yun Shanshan up to? Taking so long changing clothes in the dressing room? Women are such a hassle."

Just as I was about to put my phone back in my pocket, I saw an unknown number appear on the screen.

After answering the call, a hoarse electronic voice came through: "Ye Qingzhou, is that right? Your beloved woman is in my hands. If you don't want her to get hurt, come to the abandoned dock in the north of the city alone."

The other party even thoughtfully sent location information, afraid that Ye Qingzhou wouldn't be able to find the place.

"Neuropathy."

Ye Qingzhou hung up the phone without thinking. He was a single dog, so where would he find a "beloved woman"?

I blocked the other person, but a few seconds later, my phone rang again.

The other party was clearly persistent and called back from another number: "I'm serious, I'm not joking!"

hang up.

Ye Qingzhou continued to block him.

The other party called again: "What's wrong with you?"

Without hesitation, he hung up again and blocked her—the combo was incredibly smooth.

The other party called for the fourth time, but this time it was Yun Shanshan who spoke, her voice trembling with tears: "Ye Qingzhou, save me! Waaaaah~"

"Do you realize how serious this is now? If you want to save her, come to the old dock cargo area alone, otherwise..."

Before the other party could utter any threats, Ye Qingzhou interrupted indifferently, "You want to kill him, huh? Go ahead and kill him now, I don't care."

"Huh? You're trying to trick me?"

"Linjiang No.1 High School has more than 5,000 students. You think you can just grab any random Tom, Dick, or Harry to threaten me? Are you kidding me? What do I care if she lives or dies? Stop calling, it's annoying."

After hanging up the phone for the fourth time, Ye Qingzhou immediately dialed Xu Yunxi's cell phone and reported the other party, asking the Martial Arts Association to send someone to arrest them.

Risking his life for Yun Shanshan?

Ye Qingzhou isn't out of his mind. Yun Shanshan's 300,000 is just for tutoring fees. If you want to get a peerless genius like him to help, you wouldn't dare ask for less than 3 million.

Yun Shanshan's family didn't seem like the wealthy family that could come up with three million, so Ye Qingzhou chose to ignore them.

…………

North of the city, the old dock freight area.

This place was already sparsely populated, and after the incident with Ghost Sword Sorrow, even fewer people dared to come here.

In an abandoned warehouse with its gate collapsed, Yuan Hao crushed his phone in his hand with a gloomy expression: "I miscalculated. I didn't expect him to actually not care."

Gothic Lolita Li Yanxin glanced menacingly at the corner of the warehouse, where Yun Shanshan was bound hand and foot with tortoise shells, her face streaked with tears.

Unfortunately, with a gag in his mouth, he couldn't even utter words of begging for mercy.

Among the six outstanding talents, Li Yanxin was the youngest, but also the most bloodthirsty. She looked at Yuan Hao and asked, "Should we kill her to silence her?"

"No need. I sealed her five senses with my true energy. She can't see or hear, so she probably won't leak any secrets. It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Yuan Hao wasn't being soft-hearted; rather, he was worried that if the kidnapping involved murder, the Martial Arts Association would definitely launch a major operation and exert all its efforts to investigate.

His target was Ye Qingzhou's blood; if the Martial Arts Association increased its patrols, it would be even more difficult to make a move.

Half an hour later, Xu Yunxi led her men into the warehouse and rescued Yun Shanshan, who had wet her pants.

She took out her phone and called Ye Qingzhou: "Who do you think did it?"

"I don't know, but I think there's something wrong with Yuan Hao."

"Huh? Are you sure? He's a renowned teacher that Yingjie Middle School hired from Shandong at a high salary. Even Chairman Bai personally met with him."

"I have no evidence, but today he brought a team to No. 1 Middle School for an exchange, and he showed me malice for no reason."

Ye Qingzhou remained calm about this, after all, there were too many people who were hostile to him, and much of their hostility was inexplicable.

If Ye Qingzhou killed every malicious person he encountered, there would probably be very few survivors in the entire school.

"Don't make this public. I'll send someone to investigate secretly. Recently, there have been frequent cases of martial arts prodigies going missing in the surrounding counties and cities. Even Song Li and Cen Chunhui from the sword fighting competition are suspected of disappearing now. You need to be extra careful."

"Okay, I understand."

"Oh, and take good care of Bingbing."

"Don't worry, she's my number one sugar daddy."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingzhou's eyes narrowed, becoming long and sharp: "A martial arts genius has gone missing? There's something fishy going on here... Never mind, what does it have to do with me? I'm not Detective Conan."

Evil occurs in this world every day, every hour, every moment, every second.

As long as it doesn't involve him, Ye Qingzhou doesn't bother to care, since he has no law enforcement power and no obligation to save people.

Instead of wasting time on this, you should think about how to improve your martial arts skills.
