The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 083

Chapter 083 Leave As Soon As You Say
After chatting with Li Qing for a while, Liu Ke’er went back. She did not daydream and did not intend to pursue the matter any further, so she treated it as if it was completely over.

In the next few days, nothing major happened, and the days returned to calm.

However, under this calm, there seemed to be some peculiar emotions.

In fact, the changes in the Liu Manor were also visible, and Li Qing could truly feel them. The reason for that was because there were a lot of people coming to the Green Bamboo Garden.

Some people looked at him from afar, all of them showing peculiar expressions.

Among them, there were a few clever children who had been very attentive these past few days. They kept coming to the Green Bamboo Garden to help Li Qing with all sorts of chores. He could recognize that these people were the descendants of the Liu Clan, and they were related to Li Qing.

They were all thirteen or fourteen years old. They weren’t very old. They were smart and clever. Their aptitude was not bad. They had already started cultivating, and their strength wasn’t weak.

If these children wanted to come to the Green Bamboo Garden, Li Qing could not refuse, so he let them go.

“Big Brother Li, I haven’t had enough cultivation resources recently. Can you lend me some?” Finally, a beautiful little girl said with her big eyes flashing.

The others were either shy or daring to express their desire to borrow some spirit stones because they didn’t have enough spirit stones.

Li Qing finally understood. It turned out that he wanted to obtain his spirit stones. No wonder he was so attentive. He couldn’t help but sigh. These children were still young, so they shouldn’t have any schemes to do such a thing. It should be those adults who ordered them to do it.

If Li Qing agreed to their request, he would definitely advance an inch in the future. The desires of the human heart can never be satisfied.

But under normal circumstances, how dare you reject the requests of a few children? This was truly embarrassing. Li Qing felt a headache. This kind of thing was really annoying.

“Come, one spirit stone for each person!” He took out a few from his interspatial ring and distributed them.

“This” The few of them exchanged a glance. They were somewhat disappointed, but they concealed themselves well.

A mere spirit stone was indeed too few.

“Alright, you guys go play. I still need to cultivate.” Li Qing gave the order to expel the guests.

As a result, these children scattered in a hurry.

After a day, another person came, a young man with a dignified bearing. Li Qing recognized him. His name was Liu Peng. He was a genius disciple of the clan and had always been nurtured.

“What is it?” Li Qing asked with a premonition in his heart.

“Brother Li, I’m a little short of money recently. Can I borrow a few hundred spirit stones from you for emergency use?” Liu Peng rubbed his hands, showing an embarrassed expression.

Li Qing couldn’t help but frown. A person who had never said a single word actually had the nerve to ask for a few hundred spirit stones?

“I know this request is a bit presumptuous, but don’t worry, once I have enough money, I will return it to you!” He swore an oath.

“Sure, here you are!” Li Qing took out two hundred spirit stones and gave them to him.

In the end, in the afternoon, another visitor, a young man from the Liu Clan, actually came to borrow spirit stones!

“Are you done?” Li Qing was enraged.

“There’s no need for this, right? I’m just borrowing a few hundred spirit stones. It’s not a big deal.” The young man said carelessly.

“No borrowing!” Li Qing decisively refused.

“How can you do this?” The other party was very angry and scolded him in a low voice before leaving.

Following that, a few more people came to the Green Bamboo Garden and borrowed spirit stones in various names, but Li Qing decisively rejected them.

These people left very angrily.

As a result, very quickly, the manor began to spread bad words about Li Qing, saying how stingy and arrogant he was.

His reputation instantly became much worse.

There were even some people who ran in front of Liu Ke’er and said sarcastic words, pointing fingers, causing her to be extremely annoyed.

Both of them were extremely angry, but they were helpless. Facing the people from the Liu Clan, they couldn’t do anything.

“Sigh, my temperament is not calm enough. I still care about the eyes of the world. I need to change this!” Li Qing smiled bitterly.

“Anyone who encounters such a thing will feel uncomfortable in their hearts.” Liu Ke’er also had a worried expression on her face.

…

This was not the only thing that troubled him.

The City Lord’s Mansion has sent people over.

Li Qing had a premonition that Zhou Jintong would not give up so easily. As expected now.

He decisively refused, “No, no!”

The servant was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said, “Will this offend the people of the City Lord’s Mansion?”

Li Qing’s eyes widened, “What are you afraid of? Tell me that I don’t want to see him and won’t vent my anger on you!”

“Alright then.” The servant had no choice but to agree. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a voice saying, “No need, I have already entered.”

Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

Li Qing’s eyes narrowed. Isn’t this Uncle Yuan?

He said angrily, “Why is it you again? Why are you still here? I was miserable by you last time!”

Uncle Yuan’s expression was calm as he said, “Alright, I don’t want to argue with you. The City Lord wants to see you, come with me.”

“You still want to use this move? I don’t believe it!” Li Qing sneered.

“This time, it’s true!” Uncle Yuan revealed a helpless expression and said, “Last time, I did something wrong, but you didn’t suffer any real injuries. Instead, you spent the Spring Festival with Jin Tong. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Instead, you are still unhappy. You really don’t know good people!”

Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, “What kind of good thing is this! Otherwise, why don’t you let me hit my head a few times and let other women spend spring supper with you after knocking you unconscious?”

Uncle Yuan wasn’t angry either. He laughed loudly and said, “Brat, you don’t know how to be polite. You dare to knock me unconscious just because of you? Even if I stand here and let you hit me, you won’t be able to touch me!”

Li Qing was unconvinced and said, “How can I know if I don’t try?”

“What a joke! What kind of identity am I? How could I really let you fight me? Even if I tried, I wouldn’t be able to!” Uncle Yuan snorted coldly and said, “Forget it, I won’t be as knowledgeable as you. Come with me and don’t keep the City Lord waiting for too long.”

Li Qing shook his head and said, “I said I won’t believe you anymore!”

“But this time, it’s true!” Uncle Yuan said helplessly.

Li Qing shook his head firmly, “Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I won’t go anyway!”

“Aren’t you afraid that the City Lord will blame you?”

“I’m not afraid. When I see my senior brother in the future, I will tell him the whole story. I believe he will understand.” Li Qing chuckled, “Who will he blame at that time? Who knows!”

Uncle Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and said angrily, “Alright, kid, you win. Since you’re unwilling to go, I won’t force you. Goodbye!”

After saying that, he instantly disappeared.

Li Qing took a long breath and secretly made up his mind, “No matter what the reason is, I won’t go to the City Lord’s Mansion anyway!”

…

However, he still thought things too simple.

A few days later, another person came from the City Lord’s Mansion. And this time, the person who came was Zhou Jintong!

“You actually personally came looking for me?” Li Qing was dumbfounded, and then he reacted, “No, I have to hide. Don’t let her find me.”

As a result, just as he was about to take action, he saw Zhou Jintong rushing in with great fervor, and no one could stop him.

“Li Qing, you cowardly turtle, I’ve finally found you! Let’s see where else you can escape to!” Zhou Jintong was dressed in a black suit and returned to her straightforward nature.

“All of you, go down!” Li Qing waved his hand, letting the servants of the Liu Clan behind him leave.

When everyone was gone, he began to say, “Why should I run? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Hmph, you did that to me, yet you still want to go back on your word. Isn’t that a shameful thing?” She said confidently, raising her head high.

“If you keep reversing the black and white like this, then there’s no point. You know what happened best. I’ve already said what I should have said before. What are you still doing here?”

“Nothing, I just want to see you!” Zhou Jintong said, “Those who come are guests. You shouldn’t just let me stand here, right?”

“Then come in.” Li Qing brought her into the room.

As soon as she sat down, she said, “Oh, it’s so hot.” After saying that, he began to take off his coat.

“What are you doing!” Li Qing was shocked and thought that she was going to do something indecent.

Zhou Jintong rolled her eyes and said, “Where do you want to go? What can I do here?”

“That’s good.” Li Qing wiped away his sweat. Truly, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope.

Li Qing didn’t have anything to entertain her. After pouring her a cup of tea, the two of them stared at each other, not knowing what to do.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

“Well, I’d like to ask if there really was a relationship that night?” Li Qing couldn’t help but ask.

“Looks like you still care about this!” A trace of joy flashed through Zhou Jintong’s eyes, and then she said cunningly, “I won’t tell you! I’ll make you never know the answer! Then you’ll remember me forever.”

“Forget it. Anyway, I already have an answer in my heart.”

Zhou Jintong propped up her chin with her hand and looked at him straightforwardly. “Otherwise, you will marry me and Liu Ke’er together, right?” She said.

Li Qing was stunned, “I didn’t expect that you would agree to such a thing.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. I can only make concessions.” She sighed.

Li Qing shook his head and said, “Your father made this proposal before, but I rejected it. Now, I still want to reject you!”

“Aren’t you willing to do this? You’re too ruthless!” Zhou Jintong was very sad.

“It’s not that I’m ruthless, it’s not that you’re bad, but love itself should be pure. I have Liu Ke’er alone in my life, that’s enough!” Li Qing said seriously.

“Yi Qiu is priceless. It’s rare to have a lover. In this world, there are too few pure people like you. Therefore, I can’t give up.” Zhou Jintong stubbornly said, staring fiercely at Li Qing, which made him a little annoyed.

“Alright, since I’ve already seen you, I’ll leave first!” Zhou Jintong stood up and walked out. Suddenly, she tripped on the foot of the table and almost fell.

“Be careful!” Li Qing shouted, but he did not reach out to help.

Zhou Jintong glared at him and immediately left.

After a while, Liu Ke’er suddenly appeared in front of the door and looked at Li Qing with a smile.

“Why are you here?” Li Qing was a little surprised.

“I’ve been here a long time ago. I heard your conversation just now.” Liu Ke’er walked forward, hugged Li Qing and said emotionally.

How could the Zhou Clan’s Eldest Young Miss not alert others when she came to the Liu Clan? She had heard the news long ago, so she came here to hear their conversation.

“Did I say anything wrong just now?” Li Qing smiled.

“No, you said it very well.” Liu Ke’er looked into his eyes and said, “Especially that sentence. I have Liu Ke’er alone in my life. It’s enough!”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other tightly.

“Let’s leave now.” Liu Ke’er suddenly said.

“Alright!” Li Qing nodded without hesitation.

He already had this intention in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud, so did Liu Ke’er.

The two of them left without hesitation. They left behind a letter and then floated away.

He didn’t alert anyone, nor did he say goodbye to anyone. He flew into the distance like a gust of wind.
