Martial Master

Originally, Qin Chen did not want to get involved between the two of them. He didn't care about why You Qianxue had invited him—whether it was to use Li Kunyun's hands to teach him a lesson or to utilize him as a way to evade Li Kunyun; he had no desire to intervene.

However, upon hearing Li Kunyun's words, Qin Chen changed his mind.

His gaze turned cold, sharp as a sword, "You are meddling too much. Where I, Qin Chen, go and whether I am involved is not something you need to inquire about."

"You..."

Li Kunyun's sinister smile suddenly froze, infuriated to the point of spitting blood. He glared fiercely at Qin Chen, his entire body exuding a dense killing intent, cursing inwardly: Since you are so ungrateful, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Just an ant! Given the opportunity, I will make you understand what it means to regret.

You Qianxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's depart together."

At this moment, she felt a pang of regret. Her invitation to Qin Chen was indeed meant to provoke Li Kunyun and teach Qin Chen a lesson, but more than that, she didn't want to be with Li Kunyun.

In recent days, Li Kunyun had been following her, making her extremely uncomfortable. Comparatively, although she greatly disliked Qin Chen, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity upon seeing him earlier.

But now, seeing the intense killing intent in Li Kunyun's eyes, You Qianxue regretted again. She merely wanted someone to scold Qin Chen on her behalf, not to have him face deadly consequences. However, it was clear that Li Kunyun had already held a grudge against Qin Chen, and he would surely find ways to deal with him. Alone, Li Kunyun wasn’t the worst, but the power behind him, the Liu Xian Sect, could not be underestimated. If a conflict broke out, the Great Qi Kingdom would simply not be able to protect Qin Chen.

"Be careful later; Li Kunyun is the type who will repay any slight. If you can avoid conflict, do so. After all, the Liu Xian Sect is powerful, and the Great Qi Kingdom cannot afford to provoke them." Feeling guilty, You Qianxue couldn't help but send a message to Qin Chen.

Upon receiving the message, Qin Chen was momentarily stunned. This girl actually cared about him. He chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, just a clown. No need to take it to heart."

You Qianxue was speechless. This guy really had a thick skin. A clown? Although Li Kunyun's cultivation wasn't particularly strong, his strength was quite impressive, not something an ordinary disciple from the Five Kingdoms could compare to.

But since she had already given a warning, You Qianxue didn't say anything further. She would just be more cautious and try to keep the two from clashing.

The three of them traveled quickly, rapidly approaching Tiangu City.

After half a day, the distant Tiangu City appeared before them.

This Tiangu City was built specifically for the Ancient Southern Capital, so its history was not very long, but its road construction was intricate and elegant.

"Li Kunyun, where have you been? We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Just as they entered Tiangu City, a cold voice rang out. In the distance, a woman in a crimson robe approached. Her face was sharp, with short hair and an ordinary appearance, but she exuded a formidable aura.

Especially the pressure radiating from her was overwhelming, giving a strong sense of oppression.

"Initial stage Xuan level martial artist."

Qin Chen's gaze sharpened. The young woman was only in her early twenties, yet she had already reached the Xuan level.

"Senior Sister Hua." Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Kunyun quickly greeted her respectfully.

"Hmph, you came too slowly. Where have you been these days?" The woman, referred to as Senior Sister Hua, glanced at You Qianxue and Qin Chen, revealing disdain. "Mixing with these disciples from the Five Kingdoms? If other factions see this, where will the face of our Liu Xian Sect go? Come with me."

With a cold reprimand, the woman in red turned around to lead the way.

"Senior Sister Hua, I have some matters to attend to. Please tell me where the sect is based so I can go there myself later." After a moment of hesitation, Li Kunyun spoke. He didn't want Qin Chen and You Qianxue to be alone together.
