Chapter 84: Old Man

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stood side by side. One of them was slender, and the other was tall and handsome. They looked ahead together and were immersed in this scene.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked, “Do you like the feeling of standing at a high place?”

Tang Jinghong was silent for a moment before replying, “Not really, but if… there’s someone to share it with, it’s not bad.”

Is this guy hinting at something… Chu Qingzhi asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you married yet?” In this era, Tang Jinghong was already considered an old man. “With your status, it shouldn’t be the case!”

Tang Jinghong was slightly stunned. This little girl was indeed unique. It was the first time a girl asked him this question. “1 do want to get married, but 1 haven’t met the right one.”

This is obviously an excuse… Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Jinghong’s well-defined handsome face. “From your face, I can tell the person you’re destined to marry is about to appear.”

Tang Jinghong couldn’t help but be surprised. “You know face-reading?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded honestly. “A little.” Out of curiosity, she learned a little divination and face-reading, but it was only superficial. It could not compare to those cultivators who specialized in this aspect.

Tang Jinghong sized Chu Qingzhi up with his sharp eyes. “Why do you know so many things?”

This is a secret… Chu Qingzhi avoided answering it. “I’m going hunting. Do you want to go?”

Tang Jinghong was worried that a little girl like Chu Qingzhi would be in danger hunting alone, so he said, “What do you want to hunt? I’ll help you.”

“I don’t need any help. Just stand at the side and watch,” Chu Qingzhi said as she flew down the mountain. Her figure was even lighter than a swallow, and she looked ethereal.

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s figure and narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t help but want to remove her mysterious veil. What should he do?

He suddenly smiled and chased after Chu Qingzhi.

Since he wanted to know her secret, he would have to investigate it. There was nothing in Tang Jinghong’s world that he couldn’t do!

Chu Qingzhi flew to a huge rock and waved her right hand. A blue light entered the forest. If one listened carefully, there was a faint strange sound.

Tang Jinghong flew to Chu Qingzhi’s side. With one hand behind his back, he stood tall and straight with an extraordinary aura.

He turned his head slightly to look at Chu Qingzhi. He was extremely curious about where this little girl’s mysterious power came from, but he did not ask.

Chu Qingzhi did not mind showing him her power, which meant that she trusted him. However, their relationship was not close, and it was far from the level of a true friendship. Even if he asked, she would not answer.

While he was thinking, sounds came from the forest. A moment later, four wolves and two bears appeared in his vision.

These seemed to be the animals that accompanied Chu Qingzhi at the peak!

Chu Qingzhi pointed in the direction of the wild boar nest. “Go and hunt two wild boars.”

The six animals seemed to understand human language. They nodded, turned around, and ran.

Tang Jinghong was dumbfounded.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from the direction of the wild boar nest, followed by the wild boar’s shriek. It sounded especially intense.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong. She thought that he was going to ask why those animals listened to her, but to her surprise, Tang Jinghong did not say a word.

This guy is quite tactful!

However, Tang Jinghong still said, “Doesn’t your family suspect how you got the wild boars?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Yes, but who can refuse delicious wild boars that come knocking on their door?!”

Tang Jinghong nodded slightly. “Be careful. Don’t let anyone discover your secrets. The Imperial Court won’t allow someone like you to exist.”

This was the second time Tang Jinghong had reminded her. Was Tang Jinghong really not ambitious? She couldn’t help but ask, “Do you still want to climb higher?”

This conflicted with her views and thoughts. In the cultivation world, there was no one who didn’t want to use others to achieve their goals, and she was no exception. However, Tang Jinghong didn’t. Why?

Tang Jinghong pursed his lips. “I’ve already become the person I dream of. I’m satisfied with what I have.”

Chu Qingzhi fell into deep thought. Could desires really be restrained?

Forget it. Her relationship with Tang Jinghong was still shallow now. She would find out in the future.

Footsteps sounded. Chu Qingzhi looked up. The six animals had returned, valiant and spirited, as if they had made a great contribution.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Let’s go home.”

The six beasts changed directions and walked towards the Chu Family Village.

Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and said to Tang Jinghong, “I’m leaving. Remember to come for dinner tomorrow.”

Tang Jinghong was even more curious about Chu Qingzhi. “I’ll send you to the entrance of the forest.”

Chu Qingzhi did not reject him. In some aspects, Tang Jinghong was very stubborn… As long as he decided on something, no one could stop him.

Tang Jinghong sent Chu Qingzhi off and returned to the military camp. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Chu Qingzhi’s voice and appearance kept flashing through his mind.

He opened his eyes helplessly. Why did he keep thinking about that little girl?

At the same time, there was another person who was troubled. Not only was he troubled, but he was also very flustered and afraid. He was so anxious that he could not sit still.

This person was Li Shengfeng. He held an anonymous letter in his hand…

The anonymous letter said, “Li Shengfeng, 1 know about what you did. I’ll look for that woman to verify it. If that’s really the case, you’d better withdraw from the competition for the position of chiliarch!”

Strictly speaking, Li Shengfeng had abandoned his fiancee, which was a deplorable thing for men to do.

Those scholars valued morals the most. If they knew about this, they would think that there was something wrong with this person’s character. He would definitely be disqualified from competing for the position of chiliarch.

Climbing up the military ladder was not as easy as one imagined. Other than contributions, one had to pass all kinds of assessments.

Moreover, he had a strict father-in-law, so he did not dare to let this matter be exposed.

Ever since he saw Chu Qingyue, he had fallen into endless guilt and fear. He was afraid that his career would be ruined.

Now that he saw the anonymous letter, it was as if a huge rock was hanging above his head. As long as the huge rock fell, he would be smashed to death.

It had not been easy for him to climb to this point. He didn’t want to fall.

No, he had to find Chu Qingyue before that person did. Chu Qingyue liked him so much. As long as he apologized sincerely and begged for her forgiveness, she would definitely not say what she shouldn’t

Li Shengfeng sat by the bed in a panic, unable to sleep the entire night..
