System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 441: Chapter 252: Nighttime Conversation

Lan Shuyi is a smart person.

You can tell just from this brief encounter tonight.

And the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to tell the truth.

So when Chu Qing said he was leaving, he actually didn’t leave... He wanted to see if, after thinking he had left and interacting with the people from Pojun, anything unexpected would be said.

In the end, he didn’t hear unexpected words, but he did see unexpected people.

The appearance of Enlightenment was a surprise, but a very good one.

There was no need for Chu Qing to find another opportunity to secretly kill him. Taking advantage of when he was attacking Lan Shuyi, Chu Qing directly delivered a Bone-Softening Palm.

His Bone-Softening Palm had long been integrated into the Cyan Void Palm.

The palm wind was as if a breeze caressed the face, completely unaware of the palm force, but in fact, the palm force had already entered the body.

And tonight, Lan Shuyi and that girl from the Yijian Sect are both here, and can prove that he is alive and well.

Afterward, when he returned to his place, the disciples of the Taiheng Sect also clearly saw it.

No one would have thought that Chu Qing was hidden in the dark, along with that unremarkable evil wind.

After completing this task, Chu Qing returned to the Cyan Simurgh Villa.

Upon entering, he saw Wu Qianhuan sitting at the table, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes slightly closed, breathing steadily and rhythmically.

"She fell asleep."

Chu Qing chuckled silently, came forward, and picked her up.

Only then did Wu Qianhuan wake up in surprise, instinctively struggling for a moment, and relaxed only when she saw Chu Qing.

She leaned her head against his chest and softly spoke:

"You’re back?"

Chu Qing nodded:

"If you’re tired, just go to sleep. Anything that can be said tomorrow, why force yourself to stay up..."

"I was a little worried since you hadn’t returned."

Wu Qianhuan said while looking blankly at Chu Qing, seeing him push open the door and carry her into the room. It wasn’t until he laid her down on the bed that she blushed a bit and let go of Chu Qing’s arm.

Her sleepiness dissipated, she sat up and said to Chu Qing:

"Close the door, let’s chat, okay?"

"Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?"

"So what..."

Wu Qianhuan pursed her lips:

"We even exchanged birthdates, the wedding contract is in my father’s study."

"The one engaged to you is Chu Qing, not the Third Young Master."

Chu Qing said, yet he still went over and closed the door.

Sitting down by the bed upon returning, he heard Wu Qianhuan laughingly say:

"Then let’s talk about how you went from being the third young master of the Chu Family to becoming the Third Young Master who dominates the Martial World?"

"A child without a mother has a long story."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Perhaps, after experiencing so much life and death, one always changes, undergoes some transformation... During the years away from home, I encountered many adventures, as for how I became like this, wasn’t it due to the circumstances?"

"Brother Qing has secrets, but doesn’t want to tell me."

Wu Qianhuan drawled, then laughed:

"It’s alright, I’m not really that concerned... As long as I can see you here now, that’s all that matters.

"It’s strange, when you left, we were so young, not knowing love. And all these years you were gone, every time I thought of you, I was so angry that I ground my teeth.

"I thought more than once, when you returned, I would definitely make you pay, letting you know that a girl from the Wu Family is not to be bullied..."

"That’s your nature."

Chu Qing nodded:

"That’s why I didn’t dare face you in my true form back then..."

"Hmph, so you admit the truth? You said you didn’t want to drag me down... but you were actually afraid I’d take revenge on you!"

"...A deep childhood shadow?"

"I was very gentle when I was a child, okay?"

"Miss Wu, I think you lack a correct understanding of yourself! What gentle girl hits so painfully?"

"Should I be gentler in the future?"

Wu Qianhuan tilted her head, looking at Chu Qing, feeling perhaps she’d never be able to defeat him in her lifetime, letting out a sigh:

"It’s you who should be gentler to me..."

With that, both fell into silence.

Chu Qing looked at Wu Qianhuan with a half-smile, while Wu Qianhuan blushed, seeing him staring unblinkingly, she couldn’t help but cover his eyes with her hand:

"Don’t look, forget what I just said."

"Well, I am naturally good at remembering..."

"Nonsense! How long did it take you to memorize the Techniques within the Cyan Void Palm? Not to mention the Ruo Xu Scripture, less than a thousand words you recited for days?

"Before the final test, it was still a mess, and you even forgot how Uncle Chu punished you for it, didn’t you?"

Wu Qianhuan huffed angrily.

Chu Qing chuckled softly.

Seeing his laughter made Wu Qianhuan even angrier, she couldn’t help pinching his arm, at first harshly, but then, as she couldn’t help thinking of something, she suddenly lightened... making Chu Qing’s arm itch.

She looked at Chu Qing and softly said:

"When you appeared under the name Night Emperor, whether you believe it or not, the first glance at you, I thought... it was you...

"But there was no evidence, and you acted so convincingly, I kept doubting myself.

"It wasn’t until in that pavilion, seeing your current form, somehow, I lost control."

"Lost control of what?"

"...Not telling you."

Wu Qianhuan felt this person did it on purpose.

She bit her lip, suddenly remembering something, took out a book from her bosom, and handed it to him:

"Now that you mention it, I forgot about this these past few days."

"What is this?"

Chu Qing glanced at it, the cover had four large characters "Celestial Bright Swordsmanship."
