Chapter 427: Chapter 245: Sparring?
When Chu Qing heard the words ’Vajra Sect Enlightenment’, his expression did not change, just gave Guan Changying a slight glance.
Guan Changying smiled at this:
"For this sword ceremony of mine, all the heroes have been worked hard.
"In the past few days, masters from various sects have been coming continuously...
"Third Young Master, I need to go to the mountain gate to welcome guests, so I’ll excuse myself for now."
Chu Qing smiled upon hearing this:
"Speaking of the monks of the Vajra Sect, I have long admired them. I wonder if it would be convenient to join Brother Guan?"
Guan Changying was momentarily taken aback, then said:
"If the Third Young Master is willing, there is no problem at all."
Chu Qing then stood up:
"Please."
"Please."
Guan Changying promptly stood up and led the way out of the room.
Others in the courtyard also heard the commotion. Seeing that Chu Qing and Guan Changying were about to leave, Wu Qianhuan asked a question, and after getting a response from Chu Qing, expressed a desire to tag along and watch the excitement.
Gentle, although she didn’t speak, quietly followed beside Wu Qianhuan, the meaning of her proximity very clear.
Hua Jinnian naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity either...
In the end, only Wuchen remained here alone.
After all, this monk’s love and hate were straightforward and simple; if upon seeing Enlightenment, he were to rush up to fight, it would be inappropriate.
Guan Changying was a bit confused, initially thinking he was just taking Chu Qing alone to watch the excitement.
Unexpectedly, everyone around Chu Qing loved to watch the excitement... he came alone, yet left with a crowd...
But since everyone wanted to follow, Guan Changying naturally couldn’t refuse.
Then the one explaining about the Taiheng Sect to Chu Qing and others changed from Shan Lan to Guan Changying.
Of course, as the soon-to-be Young Sect Leader of the Taiheng Sect, welcoming distinguished guests couldn’t be so simple. Along the way, many disciples naturally gathered, and then Chu Qing saw Chen Buyu again.
Chen Buyu, who was chatting and laughing with other senior brothers, immediately closed his mouth upon seeing Chu Qing.
Chu Qing greeted him:
"Brother Chen, we meet again."
Chen Buyu silently nodded to Chu Qing.
Guan Changying smiled and said:
"The Third Young Master knows my Junior Brother Chen?"
"Previously, he and Shan Lan went down the mountain to the Locust Tree Forest..."
Chu Qing smiled:
"Moreover, such an interesting person naturally leaves a deep impression."
"Indeed."
Guan Changying nodded:
"Junior Brother Chen’s words are always memorable... but speaking of it, Junior Brother Chen’s uncle is also our Taiheng Sect’s senior, though he is not on the mountain now."
"Oh?"
Chu Qing asked, "May I know which senior?"
"Uncle Chen went down the mountain to establish an Escort Agency, precisely the Southern Ridge Iron Sword, Chen Zhengnan!"
Guan Changying said with a serious expression.
"So it’s him..."
Chu Qing suddenly realized and nodded:
"Previously hearing the surname, I had some speculation, but it’s not good to make assumptions. I didn’t expect he would be the nephew of Chief Chen.
"Speaking of which, I have met Chief Chen once, at the Seven Plum Manor in Iron Blood Hall territory, and we even joined forces against the enemy..."
Chen Buyu suddenly looked up at Chu Qing:
"Did he give you trouble?"
"..."
Chu Qing was momentarily lost for words.
Guan Changying, who still wanted to inquire further, also felt a mental lapse at these words, forgetting what he initially wanted to ask.
After a while, Chu Qing finally said:
"Why wouldn’t it be me giving him trouble..."
"He is very disciplined and rigid... a gentleman can be deceived by his uprightness, precisely because his actions are predictable.
"He is such a person. If someone understands his personality, character, and style, it becomes easy to target him deliberately, thwarting him at every step...
"Whereas you, Third Young Master, act recklessly and impulsively, making it hard for people to grasp."
Chen Buyu, when he did speak, rarely left room for retreat.
Chu Qing was momentarily speechless:
"How am I reckless and impulsive, hard to grasp?"
"In front of the Sword Pavilion, you killed our Taiheng Sect disciples and still claim not to be reckless and impulsive?
"The situation escalated so dramatically, yet you raised it high and let it go lightly. Isn’t that hard to grasp?"
Chen Buyu glanced at Chu Qing:
"You suddenly follow my Brother Guan to the mountain gate to welcome guests; I doubt you have good intentions.
"What’s the ulterior motive you’re hiding this time?"
"Silence."
Guan Changying quickly stopped him:
"The Third Young Master is an esteemed guest, going with me to the mountain gate out of mere curiosity... besides, as it’s said, heroes appreciate heroes. With Vajra Sect’s fame, what is strange about the Third Young Master wanting to meet their luminaries?"
Chen Buyu immediately stopped talking but was internally unconvinced.
Indeed, Vajra Sect has its reputation, but Enlightenment is genuinely hard to assess.
In recent years, even Vajra Sect’s reputation has been declining day by day.
In contrast, a figure like Chu Qing, rising to fame like the bright stars of this era, how could he regard Vajra Sect?
To be blunt, letting Chu Qing welcome the Vajra Sect members, are they even worthy?
Otherwise, why doesn’t the Sect Leader himself go to greet them?
Moreover, the Sect Leader didn’t go to welcome the Vajra Sect yet personally came to meet the Third Young Master, the importance is clear.
The reason he didn’t go to the mountain gate in advance to welcome him was due to not receiving any message beforehand.
Who could have thought a few disciples going down the mountain would bring back such a character, otherwise, with disciples lining the path and a sword array welcome, the formation should have been laid out in front of the mountain gate.
These thoughts circled in his mind, but he ended up not saying a word.
Chu Qing took a deep look at Chen Buyu, always giving him a special regard.
