The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 080

Chapter 080 Not Returning Overnight
“How could you not be drunk for seven days? I’ve already put it in. Could it be a fake?” Zhou Jintong was dumbfounded.

She was caught by Li Qing and did not struggle.

“Because I am invulnerable to all poisons!” Li Qing sneered. Others did not expect him to have consumed the Cleansing Spirit Flower, but he could resist all kinds of poisons. Unless it was a peerless poison, otherwise, it would be useless against him. It was precisely because of this that he dared to drink the wine here boldly.

“I see. You have so many trump cards. It really opens my eyes.” Zhou Jintong chuckled, looking very calm, because she knew that Li Qing did not dare to do anything to her.

“Will you let go of me? It hurts so much. I don’t know how to cherish beauty at all.” She showed a delicate look.

Li Qing remained unmoved and said coldly, “I want to go out! I’ll let you go when I get out.”

“Sure, I’ll take you out now.” She nodded without hesitation and said, “But, do you want me to take you out like this? When others see me, they will think that you have kidnapped me and will alert the entire City Lord’s Mansion. You don’t want to be so troublesome, do you?”

Li Qing thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he unconsciously let go of his hand.

She continued, “Moreover, my strength is much weaker than yours. I am simply unable to resist. There is no need for such trouble. Let me go first. I will obediently obey you.”

Li Qing always felt that something was wrong. He frowned and said, “You’re very reasonable. But because you’re so reasonable, I feel that there must be some deception in it.”

“Why?” Zhou Jintong asked in a daze.

“Because you’ve been asking me to let you go, and this purpose is so obvious.” While thinking, Li Qing said, “It seems that if I really let you go, you will definitely have the ability to escape.”

“Sigh, you’re so smart. You saw through it.” She sighed and said, “Looking at how stupid you look, I didn’t expect you to be so clear-headed. What do you think you should do now?”

“I should be the one asking you this!” Li Qing said sternly, “As long as you are willing, there must be a way to let me out.”

Zhou Jintong rolled her eyes and said, “If you don’t believe me, what else can I do? If you are stuck in a deadlock like this, then wait until dark. When the Liu Clan sees that you haven’t returned, I wonder if they will be very anxious.”

“You!” Li Qing had no choice but to say, “How about this, I’ll grab your arm later so that I can control you at any time. You are not allowed to resist.”

“Sure! I don’t want everyone to know about this either.” She nodded and smiled, “If you want to, you can directly hold my hand. This will make me look more intimate.”

Li Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her. He grabbed her arm and said, “Let’s go!”

“Wait, I’m not wearing my clothes yet!” She said pitifully. She had just taken off her coat in order to seduce Li Qing.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment before he discovered the spring light on her chest. He turned around and urged, “Hurry up and wear it!”

“You hold my hand, how can I put on one of my hands? Otherwise, why don’t you help me put it on?” She spoke very boldly.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment. He didn’t know if he should let her go. What if she ran away?

“What are you worried about in this small room? There’s no one else.” She curled her lips.

Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat, so he could only let her go.

She picked up her clothes and slowly put them on. With a wicked smile, she said proudly, “You’ve been tricked!” Then, he pounced forward.

Li Qing was shocked and hurriedly tried to catch her, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked him.

“It’s you!” Li Qing recognized this person. It was the middle-aged man who brought him in.

“Uncle Yuan, just knock him unconscious. Don’t hurt him.” Zhou Jintong said from the side.

Uncle Yuan nodded his head and extended a hand to pat him.

Li Qing felt his hair stand on end. Although this person did not emit any aura, the threat he felt was simply too great. It was as if he was facing a higher level opponent.

“Drink!” He used all of his strength, muscles bulging all over his body as he punched out.

This punch landed on the opponent’s palm, and he could only feel that it was soft and lacking in strength.

“Shit!” Li Qing hurriedly wanted to retreat, but before he could react, he felt a pain in his chest and flew backwards.

The difference between the two sides was too great! He didn’t even have time to react.

Uncle Yuan appeared in a flash and came before Li Qing again, slapping him directly. Li Qing wanted to dodge, but this palm was too mysterious. There was no place to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as this palm accurately slapped his forehead. His eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed his discomfort. He shouted loudly and punched out again. His muscles were tense and his muscles and bones were ringing in unison. He gathered his strength and punched out an extraordinary punch.

Uncle Yuan looked a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he would not be able to knock Li Qing unconscious. The other party still had the strength to retaliate. Uncle Yuan was extremely conceited, neither dodging nor dodging. He actually intended to directly receive this punch.

“Good opportunity!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up. He felt as if he could pierce through a small mountain. No matter how strong the other party was, could he still block it?

With a “boom”, this punch landed on the opponent’s body. Uncle Yuan’s true essence circulated around him, and the strength of this punch quickly dissipated into nothingness.

This terrifying punch actually failed to break through the other party’s protective true essence.

“It can’t be?” Li Qing was dumbfounded. Isn’t it too strong? This was truly a desperate gap.

Uncle Yuan snorted coldly, then slapped down again.

Li Qing was still unable to dodge this palm strike and was slapped on the forehead again. He staggered and almost fell.

However, Li Qing still did not faint. He refused to sit still and wait for death, and counterattacked again.

“What a tough guy!” Uncle Yuan was furious. He struck out again and knocked Li Qing unconscious.

“Uncle Yuan, why did you hit him three times? What if you break him?” Zhou Jintong watched from the side and couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

Uncle Yuan’s expression was a little awkward. He actually took three palms to knock Li Qing unconscious. He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed and said, “Who would have thought that this kid’s head would be so hard to bear my three palms? What a tough bone!”

“Alright, Uncle Yuan, don’t tell my father about today.” Zhou Jintong looked at Li Qing lying on the ground and smiled happily.

“Yes, I won’t tell him.” Uncle Yuan tapped her forehead and said, “You’re really messing around. If your father finds out, he’ll definitely punish you!”

“As long as we don’t say anything.” She didn’t care.

This middle-aged man called Uncle Yuan was the head of the City Lord’s Mansion, and he was in charge of all internal and external affairs. This person had followed Yun Zhou City Lord since he was young, and he did not abandon him when he was down. Therefore, Yun Zhou City Lord was very grateful to him. He treated him as a good friend, and did not spare any resources to help him cultivate. As a result, his cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Xiantian realm today.

The gap between Li Qing and the Xiantian fifth layer experts was simply too great. Of course, he couldn’t be his opponent. No wonder he was beaten up by Uncle Yuan, unable to retaliate.

Although Uncle Yuan was only a servant in the City Lord’s Mansion, no one dared to be disrespectful to him. Even the Zhou Clan’s core city members had to respectfully address him as “Uncle Yuan.”

Uncle Yuan also loved Zhou Jintong very much. He had watched her grow up since childhood, so he agreed to her nonsense request.

“This brat’s will is firm and unshakable. If you continue, I’m worried that you’ll end up injured.” Uncle Yuan sighed.

Zhou Jintong gritted her teeth and stubbornly said, “If you don’t give it a try, how would you know?”

“Since that’s the case, then I won’t advise you. I’ll leave first.” He knew that Zhou Jintong was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. It was useless to say anything about what he had decided.

After he finished speaking, he instantly disappeared.

Zhou Jintong picked up Li Qing and put him on the bed. She looked at him gently and muttered to herself, “I did this for you. I abandoned my self-esteem. I hope you won’t let me down.”

…

As the sun set, night fell.

Liu Ke’er waited in the Green Bamboo Garden, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

“Why hasn’t he returned for so long?” She looked up at the sky from time to time and walked around the room.

“Could it be that something has happened? Is Li Qing in danger?” She began to think nonsense, but quickly ruled out the possibility: “Impossible, in the City Lord’s Mansion, no one dared to touch him.”

She suddenly thought of Zhou Jintong. If anyone really dared to touch Li Qing in the City Lord’s Mansion, then this woman was the only one.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, the possibility of meeting Zhou Jintong was very high. If she had malicious intentions, wouldn’t it be… Thinking of this, Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but feel even more uneasy.

After a while, the servants of the manor suddenly came to report that the City Lord’s Manor had sent people over to ask for Liu Ke’er’s help.

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately said, “Please!”

Very quickly, the people from the City Lord’s Mansion were taken to the Bamboo Garden. This person was actually Zhou An.

Liu Ke’er expressionlessly asked, “What are you doing here?”

Zhou An did not show any respect and said indifferently, “My family’s young miss sent me to inform Miss Liu that my uncle will spend the night in the City Lord’s Mansion tonight.”

“Uncle? Which uncle?” She was a little puzzled.

“Naturally, it’s Uncle Li Qing.” Zhou An said naturally.

“You!” Liu Ke’er was enraged, but she quickly calmed down. Being angry with a servant made her look like she wasn’t very magnanimous.

“Did Li Qing spend the night with your young miss?” She asked.

“That’s right, my young miss is spending the Spring Festival with my uncle.”

“Spend the Spring Festival together?” Liu Ke’er panicked in her heart, but on the surface, she remained calm and said, “Did you come to inform me about this on purpose?”

“That’s right.” Zhou An replied.

“Since that’s the case, I already know. You can leave now.” She waved her hand.

“Goodbye!” Zhou An turned around and left.

Liu Ke’er sat quietly in the bamboo garden, her heart filled with thoughts.

“The Zhou Manor specially sent people here to inform me of this matter. They must have ulterior motives. Perhaps it was to cause a misunderstanding between Li Qing and me. I cannot be fooled by Zhou Jintong.”

“But even though I know that, why is my heart still so messed up?”

She sighed and sat there as if she was waiting for Li Qing to return.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
