Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System
Chapter 117 Twists and turns
Behind the group of noble cultivators at the bottom of the Wanjian Guizong Square, a woman rose into the air and jumped into the arena.
The woman was about twenty years old, with a Taoist bun on her head, wearing a light blue Taoist robe, and holding a three-foot-long sword in her hand. Her skin was a little dark yellow, and her face was ordinary, but she had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that were clear and bright, extremely lively, and her temperament was extraordinary.
"The Fifth Allure?"
Qiao Rui was slightly stunned when he saw who was coming. "Isn't this the fifth girl who was the first to pass the 'Three Gourds and No Leaving the City' activity in her own inn?"
The person who came was indeed Diwu Qingcheng, who liked to dress like a Kundao. She took two steps forward and bowed to all parties, "Daxia Purple Crystal Sky Guard, Diwu Qingcheng, greets you all!"
As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized purple token from her bosom, with five large characters "Daxia Qingtianwei" written vertically on it. It was truly magnificent and imposing.
"I wonder what brings you here, Lord Fifth?" Meng Cunyi suppressed his displeasure and smiled back. The Purple Crystal Sky Guards had great power, so he did not dare to neglect them and asked hurriedly.
"Shushan is celebrating so much, I came here to watch the ceremony, but when that young hero Qiao came to the county government to report a case that day, I happened to be passing by Fucheng and was handling some matters at the county government, so I asked someone to check it out."
Diwu Qingcheng looked at Qiao Rui meaningfully, and then said, "According to the investigation of my subordinate Qingtianwei, your Shushan disciples have captured Miss Tian Jing, a friend of Young Master Qiao!"
"this......"
Meng Cunyi was speechless for a moment. No matter how much the people of Shushan looked down on others, it was not easy for them to openly oppose the Qingtian Guards who represented the imperial court, especially when the other party was a powerful Zijing Qingtian Guard. However, he was unwilling to confirm the guilt of the Shushan disciples in this way.
"How about this," seeing the other party hesitate, Diwu Qingcheng smiled slightly and drew everyone's attention back to herself again.
"I see that Miss Zhao from your sect is a chivalrous person. She once spoke up for Young Master Qiao in the Beggars' Sect. Why don't we let her go to Quejian Peak? She is not only a disciple of your sect, but also the beloved disciple of Master Dugu. Her status is naturally noble. I think it won't be an offense to Quejian Peak if she searches for Young Master Qiao at Quejian Peak!"
Qiao Rui has been a little confused since he saw Diwu Qingcheng, "So she is the Purple Crystal Sky Guard, but why did she help me to make false evidence?"
This was not the time to chat. Diwu Qingcheng had suggested this to him, so Qiao Rui knew he had to strike while the tide was still. He immediately bowed to Zhao Lingying and said, "Miss Zhao, I haven't thanked you for your righteous words before, and now I have to trouble you again!"
Zhao Lingying's beautiful Xing'er looked at Qiao Rui, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then turned to look at her master.
Dugu Nian opened his eyes slightly and stared at Diwu Qingcheng indifferently. After a while, he said to Zhao Lingying, "Go!"
"Yes, Master!" Zhao Lingying bowed and left.
Seeing this, Li Shaobai's heart skipped a beat and his face turned ugly. He quietly walked to Kong Gaozhen and said aggrievedly: "Master, they are bullying us too much and don't take us seriously..."
"Wait!" Kong Gaozhen said in a muffled voice with a dark face.
Li Shaobai looked sinisterly at Qiao Rui and Diwu Qingcheng in the field, then looked at Zhao Lingying who was leaving. He felt a secret hatred in his heart, but then he smiled secretly, seeming a little proud.
This scene was captured by Diwu Qingcheng. She frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
In the field, Qiao Rui had nothing to do, so he bowed to Diwu Qingcheng and thanked her for coming out to testify, but the two did not communicate much, because to outsiders, they did not know each other. If others knew that they not only knew each other, but also had a pleasant conversation and got along quite well, it might cause misunderstandings and make Diwu Qingcheng suspected of favoritism and fraud.
Qiao Rui came to the Shaolin Sect again and thanked the Shaolin Sect for protecting him. Master Wuwang smiled and nodded, and asked Qiao Rui: "After this matter is settled, would you be willing to follow me to Songshan to become a Shaolin disciple and become a lay disciple?"
"It's my honor!"
Qiao Rui felt relieved, it finally came, he finally got the huge support of Shaolin. From now on, he would rely on Shaolin openly and borrow the power of Qingtianwei secretly. Finally, he was not fighting alone. He could finally gain a foothold in this dangerous and unpredictable world!
After leaving Shaolin, he thanked Xuan Yang Zhenren of Wudang Sect and Feng Wuya and his wife, the head of Huashan Sect, in turn, for their righteous words.
Afterwards, Qiao Rui suddenly asked Feng Wuya and his wife whether their Huashan Sect had ever accepted a person named Liu Xinyue.
Feng Wuya was slightly stunned, then stroked his beard and said, "There is no such person in my Huashan Sect!"
Qiao Rui's heart sank. The most likely place wasn't even there. Where could Liu Xinyue have gone?
He did not give up and repeatedly described Liu Xinyue's height and appearance, for fear that Feng Wuya was forgetful and would not remember having accepted such a disciple.
Feng Wuya and Leng Wanqiu clearly stated that Huashan did not have such a disciple.
Qiao Rui felt disappointed and worried. He took out the portrait of his wife Jiang Xueyun and asked Feng Wuya if he had seen her, but the answer was still no.
"You're so young, but you've accumulated a lot of love debts!" Leng Wanqiu teased Qiao Rui half-jokingly.
Qiao Rui clasped his fists awkwardly, not wanting to explain. He hurriedly left Huashan Sect and went to other sects to inquire about the news of Jiang Xueyun and Liu Xinyue.
After one round, Qiao Rui went to ask all the sects and families present, as well as those wandering cultivators, except for the Beggars' Sect. However, he always went with expectations but returned with disappointment. There was no news about the two girls. Qiao Rui's heart sank to the bottom and he was extremely worried.
"Where the hell are you guys?"
A few pairs of slightly caring eyes looked at Qiao Rui's disheartened expression and sighed secretly.
"Young Master Qiao!"
Diwu Qingcheng suddenly spoke up, "Miss Zhao is back!"
Qiao Rui came back to his senses and saw Zhao Lingying coming back alone. His face changed, "What happened? Didn't you find Tian Jing?"
He took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, stammering in silence, fearing that his question would lead to a bad outcome.
Zhao Lingying walked up to Dugu Nian and reported, "Master, we didn't find Miss Tian!"
Qiao Rui's body trembled, his eyes dimmed, and he lost his luster in an instant.
"Hey! Qiao Rui..."
Li Shaobai grinned sinisterly, and was about to say something harsh to vent his anger, but he heard Zhao Lingying continue: "But..."
Qiao Rui suddenly looked up, clenched his fists, and stared at Zhao Lingying with red eyes, full of expectation.
"However, I asked the chef in the kitchen, and they said that Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Hu took away three people's food portions at every meal these days!" Zhao Lingying continued.
Qiao Rui's heart tightened, and a glimmer of hope ignited, "They must have captured Tian Jing, she must still be in Shushan!"
"No, that's not it," Li Shaobai swallowed his saliva and said anxiously, "I, I have been practicing more diligently these days to prepare for the celebration martial arts performance, so I have consumed a lot of energy, so my appetite has increased sharply. Yes, that's it!"
"How dare you make excuses in front of me!" Diwu Qingcheng snorted coldly and shouted.
