#7 - Chapter 7: City Lord's Mansion Recruitment, Goodbye City Lord's Wife

Zong Hong arrived belatedly.

When he saw Chen Changsheng flick out his sword, accurately hitting the Eldest Brother hundreds of meters away, his eyes filled with shock.

Senior Brother Chen's martial arts have actually reached such a level?

It's just like the legendary sword control, so cool!

"Senior Brother! Junior Sister! What happened here?" Zong Hong asked immediately, snapping out of his daze.

Hong Lin didn't respond to his words. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she draped Chen Changsheng's coat over herself and ran to the side of the blue-robed man in a panic, crying in inconsolable grief.

"Lang'er, don't die, wake up!"

"Please, Senior Brother, come and save Lang'er, wuu wuu wuu wuu..."

Tears streamed down her fair face, Hong Lin grasped Lu Lang's hand, but received no response.

Everyone present knew that the man's life force was extinguished. Even if a physician were present after his throat was slit, there would be no way to save him.

Zong Hong sighed and went to Hong Lin's side, patting her on the shoulder in a gesture of comfort.

"Senior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Zong..."

Xue Yong, his face pale, endured the intense pain and stood up, saying grimly, "Why are you here? And this sword! Are you trying to kill me? My father is the master of the Tianmu Martial Hall, you two better think carefully!"

Having failed in his assault and been stabbed, Xue Yong was filled with shame and anger, especially because he had played the villain while the other party had played the hero saving the damsel in distress.

How infuriating!

If it weren't for Chen Changsheng's overwhelming aura, coupled with being ambushed and seriously injured, Xue Yong would have directly attacked and killed them long ago.

Damn Chen Changsheng, damn Zong Hong for ruining my good deed!

"We didn't intend to kill you, we were just stopping you from continuing to act foolishly," Chen Changsheng said indifferently.

Xue Yong sneered and said, "Stop me? You're just trying to be a hero to save the beauty, I advise you two to get out of here immediately and stop meddling in other people's business."

"Eldest Brother, don't be so stubborn," Zong Hong couldn't help but advise.

"Junior Brother Zong, go notify the yamen, I'll stay here."

Chen Changsheng didn't want to waste words with Xue Yong, and he didn't know the messy relationships between them. Since he had discovered a murder case, he would just call the professionals to handle it.

Zong Hong nodded and immediately turned to leave.

Xue Yong's already pale face instantly became even more unsightly.

Once the city lord's office knew about his attempted murder and rape, even if his father was the master of the Tianmu Martial Hall, he wouldn't be able to protect him.

Since that's the case, then he might as well go all the way!

"You forced me to do this, Junior Brother Chen!"

Xue Yong said in a low voice, the power of his Qi and blood surging out: "I'm still somewhat wary with Zong Hong here, but you alone are no match for me. Blame yourselves for seeing what you shouldn't have tonight!"

Bang!

Xue Yong was filled with murderous intent, his foot stomping down with great force, causing the hard ground to crack inch by inch.

His figure was as swift as a dragon, raising his blood-stained long saber and slashing fiercely at Chen Changsheng, the saber's light like a rainbow, determined to kill him with one blow!

Chen Changsheng's eyes turned cold, and the second sword in his sword case suddenly flew out.

The two collided and shook, instantly deflecting the long saber.

Xue Yong staggered backward, his tiger's mouth overflowing with blood from the shock. Feeling the force transmitted by the flying sword, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He decisively abandoned the saber, switching to palm techniques, his Qi and blood transforming into a roaring wave.

Feeling the opponent's majestic Qi and blood, Chen Changsheng also struck out with a palm, infused with True Qi. The momentum of the Mountain-Pulling Technique erupted, like a mountain suppressing down, the two palms colliding and exploding with a violent shockwave.

Boom—

The destructive force caused Xue Yong's expression to change drastically.

How is this possible!?

The next second, his body transformed into a black line and flew backward, falling to the ground and rolling several times, the sharp sword embedded in his torso dislodging from his body.

Instantly, fresh blood gushed out, flowing all over the ground.

Killing Xue Yong was not his intention. Handing him over to the yamen officials was the best solution, but plans can't keep up with changes.

Chen Changsheng didn't expect Xue Yong's murderous intent to be so strong, and he didn't expect that the fusion of Qi and blood and True Qi would erupt with such powerful might.

"Chen, Senior Brother Chen…"

Hong Lin's tearful voice pulled his thoughts back: "I beg Senior Brother Chen to leave the opportunity to me… No, Senior Brother Chen was never here tonight, I did everything! Xue Yong's death has nothing to do with Senior Brother Chen!"

She wanted to kill Xue Yong with her own hands to avenge her lover.

Chen Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and after considering it again and again, he said in a deep voice: "Dispose of the body properly, I'll go stop Zong Hong. We weren't here tonight, do you understand?"

"I, I understand!"

Hong Lin wiped the tears from her face and stood up firmly, her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your kindness. I would never say a word about today's events, even if it means death!"

She grabbed the long saber that Xue Yong had dropped and walked towards Xue Yong, who was full of fear.

Under the other party's wails for mercy, she raised the knife and dropped it!

Fresh blood splattered, and a human head rolled like a ball, Xue Yong's empty eyes filled with horror and hatred.

Hong Lin, who had just killed someone, revealed a look of relief on her face.

But this time, the tears could no longer be stopped.

Revenge was taken, but Lu Lang would never come back…

Who would have thought that a joyful rendezvous would turn into a tragic life-and-death situation.

Chen Changsheng kicked the tip of his foot, and the two sharp swords rotated several times in the air, then accurately fell back into the sword case.

Immediately, his movements were as fast as a ghost as he quickly caught up with Zong Hong. After briefly recounting the events, he returned to the Tianmu Martial Hall with him.

An hour later.

Hong Lin returned to the martial hall tremblingly, obvious tear stains on her face, unable to escape from her sad emotions.

Chen Changsheng didn't know if tonight's decision was wrong.

Perhaps he was angered by Xue Yong's killing intent, or perhaps he couldn't stand Xue Yong's ugly behavior, or perhaps it was because Xue Yong would die if he was sent to the yamen.

So he finally agreed to let Hong Lin avenge her hatred.

As for Master Xue Deshan's side, Chen Changsheng didn't know what to do.

The next morning.

Tianmu City gradually returned to its hustle and bustle, and life was the same as usual, without any abnormalities.

Inside the Tianmu Martial Hall, Xue Deshan summoned everyone in the martial hall early in the morning.

He stood on the training field, overlooking the many apprentices, and suddenly frowned: "Where did Xue Yong go? Why didn't he come to assemble?"

The apprentices looked at each other, and someone raised their hand and said: "Hall Master, we haven't seen Eldest Brother since last night when we gathered at Wanhua Tower."

"Could he be sleeping to death in some brothel again?"

Xue Deshan shook his head and temporarily ignored it. He said in a loud voice: "The reason I summoned you today is because the City Lord's Mansion has a job that requires twenty martial artists to escort the City Lord's wife to a place. Is there anyone willing to go?"

City Lord's wife?

Chen Changsheng stood in the front row of the crowd, recalling that plump and beautiful figure.

Thinking that he had never been out of the city to play, he opened his mouth and said: "Hall Master, I am willing to go."

"I'll go too!"

Zong Hong and Hong Lin said in unison.

Having experienced what happened last night, Hong Lin didn't dare to stay in the Tianmu Martial Hall, fearing that the Hall Master would find out about it.

Right now, it was a great opportunity to leave Tianmu City and avoid the limelight.

As for Zong Hong, although he didn't participate in the incident, he was aware of it. In order to prevent Chen Changsheng from becoming suspicious, he had to follow Chen Changsheng.

In case things went wrong, he could run away at the first sign of trouble.

After simply gathering twenty people, Xue Deshan led Chen Changsheng and others to the City Lord's Mansion.

A luxuriously decorated carriage was parked at the gate, and Uncle Chai, with his dark skin, was already sitting in the coachman's seat. There were ten strong black horses in front and behind the carriage.

"You're here, let's get on the horses and set off," Uncle Chai smiled slightly, his eyes locking on Chen Changsheng: "Little friend, your martial arts talent is not bad. It hasn't been a few months since I last saw you, but you have condensed such a strong Qi and blood."

Chen Changsheng, carrying the sword case, cupped his fist and said: "Uncle Chai, long time no see."

"Oh? It turns out to be Young Master Chen, come to the carriage, it's just right to chat with me," At this time, a lazy and charming mature woman's voice came from the carriage.

Wang Jiayun lifted a corner of the curtain in the carriage, stretched out her fair hand, and beckoned.

Zong Hong and the others were first stunned, and then the words 'gossip' were written all over their faces!
