The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 056
Chapter 056 Hide a Dagger in a Smile
Hearing this, Wang Jinghao couldn’t help but be stunned. He hadn’t expected that Master Hong would directly make such a request.
Wang Jinghao was the eldest young master of the Wang Clan, and his future successor. The two people beside him did not look like ordinary people. After all, if they were able to order a banquet of heavenly treasures, their status would be both rich and expensive. Perhaps, they might have some background.
Moreover, the two of them were talented and had extraordinary appearances. They were indeed young and outstanding. Perhaps they were disciples sent by some great sect to train. If they were to provoke them rashly, the consequences would be unpredictable.
He didn’t want to cause even more trouble in order to recruit Master Hong, so the gains weren’t worth the losses.
Actually, what left him speechless was that Master Hong had actually said such a thing in front of the two of them. The ears of martial artists were extremely sensitive. They were so close that it was difficult to not hear them. This is equivalent to saying in front of the other party, I have a bad idea about you.
Sure enough, when Wang Jinghao was thinking like this, someone was already furious.
“That doesn’t make any sense! You’re courting death!” Li Qing shouted and smashed the table into pieces. He stood up and glared angrily. Liu Ke’er also stood up with a frosty expression. Her strength at the tenth level of the Houtian realm was revealed.
The old man’s words made her extremely angry. She clearly treated her as a commodity and could get it at will.
“What a powerful strength!” Wang Jinghao was shocked and confirmed the conjecture in his heart. He felt that the two of them had quite a lot of background. After all, to be able to possess such strength at such a young age, one would be considered a core disciple in a large sect.
Behind Wang Jinghao were two guards, all of whom were Houtian Tenth Floor experts. At this moment, they stood out and stood in front of him to protect him.
“Don’t misunderstand, gentlemen.” Although Wang Jinghao was very surprised in his heart, on the surface, he was calm and said, “Master Hong is just joking. He just admires you very much and wants to get close to her. Everyone has a love for beauty, so I hope you won’t take offense.”
Li Qing sneered and pointed at Master Hong, “That old man spoke rudely. I must apologize!”
Master Hong’s expression was extremely ugly. His identity was so noble, how could he lower his head to admit his mistake to a brat? Moreover, the other party pointed at his nose and scolded the old man! It was simply intolerable!
Of course, Wang Jinghao wouldn’t agree to this condition. Not only would Master Hong lose face, he would also lose all face. He shook his head and said, “It’s just a small matter. Why are you two so aggressive? How about this, I’ll treat you to the banquet you ordered. How about apologizing?”
Master Hong only said an inappropriate sentence to express his thoughts. In his opinion, it was indeed just a small matter. Moreover, he was a dignified young master of the Wang Clan, and his status was noble. When he said such words, his posture was extremely low.
It was mainly because Li Qing and Liu Ke’er were too strong and their identities weren’t clear that Wang Jing Hao was so humble. If it was an ordinary person, he would have already lost face.
Hearing these words, Liu Ke’er also felt that she needed to stop. She pulled Li Qing’s hand and signaled him not to be impulsive.
She knew that Li Qing’s personality was very impulsive. If she acted on the spot, she might lose her life. At that time, the situation would be unmanageable.
“We shouldn’t make a move in Dongchang City. We’ll see if there’s a chance when we get out of the city.” She circulated her zhenqi and sent a voice transmission to Li Qing.
Li Qing gradually loosened his fist and restrained himself. The anger in his heart gradually subsided. He looked at Master Hong and snorted coldly, “Old man, I won’t be as knowledgeable as you are today. I hope you can take care of yourself!”
With that, Li Qing stomped on the floor and his strength erupted, causing the entire building to tremble.
Wang Jinghao’s expression finally changed, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. This Li Qing’s strength exceeded his imagination. He could actually shake the Dongchang Restaurant with a single kick. He was probably even stronger than an ordinary Houtian Tenth Floor martial artist.
His two bodyguards felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They felt as if they were facing an ancient vicious beast. Their momentum was overwhelming and they chose to devour people.
“What terrifying strength! This time, Master Hong has encountered a tough nut to crack!” Everyone thought to themselves.
“Haha, this brother is really powerful.” Wang Jinghao stood up with a smile on his face. His face changed very quickly. If he didn’t know what kind of person he was, he would probably praise him for his courtesy.
He casually asked, “The two of you are so young, yet your strength is already so great. How dare you ask where your master came from?” Obviously, he was planning to probe Li Qing and Liu Ke’er’s background.
Liu Ke’er said proudly, “We are disciples of the Eight Desolate Sect!”
“Eight Desolate Sect? I’ve never heard of it.” Wang Jinghao’s face was blank as he turned around to look at the others, not knowing what was going on.
“Could it be a small sect, so I haven’t heard of it?” He guessed in his heart that it was certain that there was no such big sect as the Eight Desolate Sect in the entire Cloud Continent. It was very likely that it was an unknown small sect.
“So it’s just a brat running out of an unknown small sect, making me worry for nothing.” Wang Jinghao sneered in his heart and couldn’t help but look down on Li Qing.
“So it’s a disciple of the Eight Desolate Sect. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Come, your table has been smashed. Come sit with us and get to know each other.”
When Li Qing and Liu Ke’er saw the confused expressions on everyone’s faces, they exchanged glances and were extremely shocked in their hearts. Judging from their appearances, it was as if they had never heard of the eight sects. This was truly beyond their expectations.
However, on second thought, it was not surprising that the Eight Desolate Sect had lived in seclusion in the depths of the Lianyun Mountain Range all year round and had no reputation.
Actually, it doesn’t matter anymore. Li Qing doesn’t want to stay here anymore and says indifferently, “No need, we still have things to do. We’ll stay soon. Goodbye!”
“Why don’t you stay for a while longer?” Wang Jinghao pretended to stay and was very enthusiastic.
“We are in a hurry to leave the city. It is not convenient for us to stay here for long.” Li Qing refused.
After saying that, he took Liu Ke’er and left without hesitation.
…
After Li Qing and Liu Ke’er left, Wang Jing Hao’s expression sank, extremely cold.
“Eldest Young Master, why did you let them go?” Master Hong’s expression was a little unhappy.
Wang Jinghao turned around and cursed at the old man in his heart. On the surface, he looked helpless and said, “So what if we don’t let them go? They are so strong that I can’t keep them.”
Master Hong shook his head disappointedly. “I didn’t expect that there would be something that the Wang Clan’s eldest young master couldn’t do in Dongchang City. I’m very disappointed.”
Wang Jinghao was not affected by this provocation. Instead, he slowly sat down and said indifferently, “Master Hong, you don’t have to do this.” Since you have made your request, I will certainly do my best to do it for you. However, the two of them are very strong. I don’t have enough people with me right now. I’m not confident that I can keep them. That’s why I let them go. But I did not say I would let them go. ”
“Oh? Then what are you going to do next?” When Master Hong saw that things had changed, he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of joy.
Wang Jinghao lowered his head and whispered, “I just learned from the conversation that the two of them don’t have any powerful backgrounds. They are just disciples from an unknown small sect, so I’m not afraid of offending anyone. As long as I go back and gather enough men, can I still be afraid that they will escape?”
“Sounds great.” Master Hong was overjoyed and said somewhat impatiently, “Then why don’t you gather some manpower and arrest them? It’s not too late. Let’s act now.”
“There’s no hurry.” Wang Jinghao waved his hand and said, “It’s not convenient to attack in this city. They just said that they will leave the city immediately. After we leave the city, it’s not too late for us to make our move.”
After all, he wasn’t the one who had the final say in the Wang Clan. He was only an heir, not the Clan Head. It was unknown how many people were staring at this position. If he did something bad and ruined his reputation, he wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.
He had always been scheming, polite, humble, and gentle, maintaining the illusion of a gentleman. His reputation in Dongchang City was very good, so how could he do something that would destroy his reputation in public?
“That makes sense.” Master Hong nodded his head and said, “Big Young Master is indeed very far-sighted.” When he thought that he would soon obtain that heavenly immortal-like beauty, his heart was burning with excitement, and his heart itched unbearably.
Wang Jinghao turned to a guard behind him and said, “Uncle Quan, immediately follow those two people. When they leave the city, immediately notify me!”
“Yes!” Uncle Quan accepted the order and left.
Wang Jinghao then said wretchedly, “That woman is indeed extremely beautiful, just like a heavenly immortal descending from the mortal world. Master Hong indeed has a good eye. I can’t help but be moved. This time, they will definitely not be able to escape. Once they catch that beauty, they will offer it to Master. If Master is tired of playing with her, can you give her to me to enjoy?”
“Of course!” Master Hong said without hesitation. The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly. They felt that they had found a close friend, and their friendship instantly became much deeper.
…
Li Qing and Liu Ke’er walked out.
Looking at the bustling and bustling streets, they were no longer in the mood to play anymore. They felt that it was boring.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t stay here for long. We should leave the city now. I wonder if they will follow us.” Li Qing said.
“Those two are honorable and full of bad water. They definitely won’t give up. They will definitely follow us.” Liu Ke’er said hatefully. Thinking of what Master Hong said, she gritted her teeth. Then she asked, “Speaking of which, did you intentionally reveal that you wanted to leave the city immediately?”
“That’s right.” Li Qing nodded, “If they really dare to chase after us, then I’ll call them back. If they don’t chase after us, we won’t have any losses. Let’s go, we’ll leave the city immediately.”
They were very fast and soon arrived at the city gate.
Li Qingling was very keen, and he noticed that there was a malicious gaze staring at them long ago. He whispered, “They really sent someone to follow them.”
“I knew they wouldn’t give up.” Liu Ke’er said.
“Let’s hurry up and leave them with no time to prepare. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for them to make sufficient preparations and mobilize a large number of men to ambush us in front of them.” Li Qing urged, and the two of them quickened their pace.
Without stopping, they passed through the city gates and walked out of the city.
