Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

Xiao Niao was very understanding and found an excuse that was not too embarrassing so as not to delay his work because of her.

Sometimes, the saying "beautiful women are the root of all trouble" is not so accurate. At least in Xiaoniao's case, only the first two words can be applied.

......

Chapter 163: You are so fickle

Shen Ce Mansion.

"General Huaiyan, General Jingyuan, sorry for the long wait."

Before the person arrived, Zhu Qing's voice was heard, and the two people who were chatting stopped talking.

"I was just talking about my friend Zhu Qing, I didn't expect him to come here right now."

Jing Yuan looked over and said with a smile, "Last time, there were so many people around and we left in a hurry, so we could only exchange some trivial matters. Today, I invited you here so that the two of you can get to know each other."

"The Immortal Boat Alliance is not a monolithic entity. There are some things that I have to ask you to come forward and testify. I hope you can forgive me."

Contrary to what Zhu Qing expected, the old general Huai Yan did not beat around the bush. Instead, he directly stated his purpose.

It is difficult to feel resentful when talking to such a person.

"General Huaiyan, you are too polite. I have been in Luofu for so long, and General Jingyuan has helped me a lot. It is my honor to be able to help in any way I can."

"Since the Sea Patrol Ranger has come to Luofu, how can Jingyuan not show his hospitality? It is indeed too polite, young friend Zhuqing."

Jing Yuan smiled.

"hehe."

Huai Yan also laughed twice, "It seems that the two of you have already discussed it, so I won't hide it anymore."

"The Marshal not only hopes that this martial arts ceremony can be held normally, but also wants to use this opportunity to silence the gossips of certain people within the alliance."

Jing Yuan has a lot to prove, but as a non-alliance member, Zhu Qing only needs to prove his strength.

"So I hope you can take the stage to challenge me. As for the candidate..."

"Don't worry, Elder Yan. I have already discussed this with Young Friend Zhu Qing, and we have also come up with the most suitable candidate."

"Oh?"

Huai Yan was a little surprised, "Tell me quickly, who is it?"

"Haha, let's let little friend Zhu Qing reveal the mystery."

"..."

Zhu Qing paused.

"I will go on stage under the pretext of an exhibition match and publicly invite General Feixiao to come on stage for a fight."

Hearing this, Huai Yan seemed to be shocked by Zhu Qing's "audacity", and then he burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good!"

Huai Yan said "good" three times in a row, "As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth. You are so brave and courageous. Even if I didn't know anything beforehand, based on this alone, I trust you."

Challenging a Xianzhou general in public, especially a general known for his martial arts and known for his great victories, requires extraordinary courage and corresponding strength.

Otherwise, if he gets injured or loses embarrassingly, it will be a heavy blow to people like Zhu Qing who are proud of themselves.

"We three will keep this matter a secret from General Tianji for now. However, based on my understanding of the general, this should be considered a surprise."

After the three of them discussed some specific plans, Zhu Qing thought about leaving first.

He didn't like this rather serious atmosphere very much, and after he said that he wanted to leave, Huaiyan and Jingyuan did not stop him.

"Then I will take my leave first."

"If I'm free someday, Jing Yuan will definitely invite you to have tea again and thank you for your righteous act."

"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, little friend. I wonder if you know it."

Zhu Qing paused and turned back, "General Huai Yan, please speak."

"The Immortal Boat Alliance has been trying to get in touch with the leader of the Sea Patrol Rangers. Do you know where he's going?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qing shook his head.

"I joined the Sea Patrol Rangers in a unique way. It was by chance that I joined. I have never inquired about the leader of the Sea Patrol Rangers."

"Besides, the rangers' whereabouts are uncertain, and few people would inquire about the whereabouts of other rangers. Although I have a few close friends here, but..."

Zhu Qing spread out his hands, "They probably don't know either."

Having joined the Sea Patrol Rangers for so long, Zhu Qing has heard some rumors about the leader of the Sea Patrol Rangers, but he has never inquired about him.

"I see."

Huai Yan nodded, "But being able to meet a ranger like you, this trip is really worthwhile."

"General Huaiyan, you are too kind."

Zhu Qing clasped his fists and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhuqing's departing back, Jingyuan put one hand on his waist.

"How is it, Elder Yan? Did I not deceive you?"

"This young friend is truly a man of character. It is truly a blessing to know such a young hero."

Huai Yan nodded, his tone full of admiration.

"Old Master Yan really has a keen eye for talent. I admire him."

"Stop teasing me. I'm so much older than you, but I still have some good eyesight."

Huai Yan was also watching Zhu Qing's departing figure. "I heard that this young man seems to have been searching for the whereabouts of the Great Lord of Extinction, Huanlong?"

Jing Yuan's expression turned serious and he nodded.

"Now that an old friend has been murdered, given Zhu Qing's personality, I'm afraid he will fight to the death with Huanlong."

"That's fine. Luo Fu has also been searching for that Huanlong's whereabouts, but I'm afraid we'll have to ask the generals of other immortal ships for help."

Although Jing Yuan wanted to help, his old injury had not yet healed, and he was really afraid that something might go wrong. With an extra helper, he would feel more at ease.

Huanlong is not only Zhuqing's enemy, but also Luofu's enemy. Once his trace is discovered, Luofu will naturally not let Zhuqing go alone.

"Well, how about we make a bet?"

Huaiyan looked at Jingyuan with a smile.

"Oh? Master Yan is so refined? I wonder what Master Yan wants to bet on?"

"I'm betting that after this martial arts ceremony, this young man will be able to find help."

"Master Yan means... General Tianji?"

This is not difficult to guess, so Jing Yuan was not surprised.

"Exactly."

"Old Master Yan is so confident. I dare to ask where does it come from?"

"You young people should have moved around more often."

Huai Yan laughed, "General Tianji is also a skilled warrior and a very generous person. This young man is probably very much to her liking. Asking her for help should not be difficult."

Interestingly, even though Zhu Qing knew Jing Yuan, it was not easy to ask Jing Yuan to fight, but Yao Qing was an exception.

Especially when facing the common enemies of the Xianzhou Alliance.

Although we can't hire too many helpers, it is not impossible to just ask Feixiao to come and support us.

"But after this incident, I'm afraid that my friend Zhuqing will be abducted to the Yaoqing Immortal Boat."

Jing Yuan smiled and shook his head. Although it was a good thing to have such a strong fighting force stationed in the Immortal Boat, Zhu Qing was not from the Immortal Boat after all, so he could naturally come and go freely in the Immortal Boat.

As the general of Luofu, Jing Yuan naturally could not force Zhu Qing to stay.

"Ha ha......"

Huai Yan laughed heartily, "If this young friend goes to Yaoqing, I'm afraid he will have a brighter future."

"Old Yan is wrong. Young friend Zhuqing is not interested in this. He has almost no desire for fame or fortune. Even the confidante he invited on this trip was beyond my expectations."

"It's always good to have a little bit of humanity."

Hearing this, Jing Yuan nodded in agreement.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side.

When Zhuqing arrived, Sanyueqi had already started doing horse stance, but seeing her legs shaking like a sieve, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Come on, March 7th, it's over in ten minutes!"

"Master Yunli! You said ten minutes ago that it would be over in ten minutes!"

March said indignantly with a bitter face.

"Really? That might be because I remembered it wrongly. Yes, that's right. There are only ten minutes left now."

"..."

"Teacher, you are here?"

Seeing Zhuqing coming over, Yanqing took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Will there be any problems with this kind of training?"

"Teacher, don't worry. Miss March has a very good foundation. This little bit of training won't have much of an impact on her."

Yan Qing glanced at San Yue and said, "After Miss Yun Li finishes her training, Yan Qing will take Miss San Yue for a run for a while."

Among the people present, most of them had practiced to some extent, and naturally knew that no matter what they learned, the most important thing was to lay a solid physical foundation first.

"Then do your best."

Zhu Qing looked at the little bird sitting in the shade reading a book not far away.

She gently flipped through the paper book in her hand, and the strands of hair around her ears fell from time to time, making her look more charming.

At the same time, the bird seemed to notice something and raised its head.

A pair of emerald green eyes looked at Zhu Qing, her eyes softened in an instant, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The girl stood up. She did not wait for Zhu Qing to come over, but walked over on her own initiative.

She didn't know when it started, but whenever she chatted with Zhu Qing, she would get used to waiting for Zhu Qing's reply.

Whenever Zhu Qing did something dangerous, she could only force herself to wait.

After all, she doesn't have the ability to stand beside Zhuqing like Miss Liuying.

But that's okay, after all...

Zhu Qing never lets her wait go to waste, just like every moment like this.

He always stood before him in all his glory, just like he does now.

From this perspective, the girl felt that she was indeed a fan of Zhuqing.

"Hey, March..."

Yun Li nudged San Yue Qi, "Are these two a couple?"

San Yueqi slowly typed a question mark and looked at Yun Li a little confused.

San Yueqi admitted that she was usually quite dull, but how come she met someone even duller than her today?

The two of them have drawn lines in their eyes, and you just noticed it?

"Master Yunli...I don't think I need to answer this, right?"

"..."

"Ahem... Stand still, or I'll give you another half an hour!"

"Huh? No~"

Hearing the sound, the robin couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
