"If I tell you my identity, can you promise one thing?"
"Oh?"
Chu Qing laughed:
"You followed to the back mountain just to make promise you this thing?"
"That’s right."
The girl nodded without hesitation, her face full of sincerity.
"Alright, I promise you."
Chu Qing said:
"Now tell , what’s your na and why are you disguised as a man."
"Then listen up, my na is Tie Chuming!
"The daughter of the Grand Hall Master of Iron Blood Hall, Tie Lingyun, the young mistress of Iron Blood Hall."
Tie Chuming stood proudly, looking at Chu Qing:
"What I want you to promise is simple: stop working for Luochun Manor.
"There are no good people in Luochun Manor; co and help my Iron Blood Hall instead!
"Whatever Wen Fusheng promised you, or plans to give you, my Iron Blood Hall will offer even more!
"We won’t treat you unfairly, how about that!?"
"..."
This answer left Chu Qing sowhat unexpected.
So this is the girl Cheng Tieshan wanted to matchmake for at the ti?
But he didn’t expect that the young mistress of Iron Blood Hall could be so audacious...
What kind of young mistress is this? This is a tigress, isn’t it?
He previously thought she had so wit.
Chu Qing scrutinized Tie Chuming from head to toe, his brows furrowing tighter.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
Tie Chuming saw that Chu Qing remained silent, only frowning at her and didn’t understand why.
But after thinking for a mont, she suddenly realized:
"You... you’re not planning to go back on your word, are you?
"You’ve already promised ."
Chu Qing chuckled:
"It seems that the Grand Hall Master has protected you very well...Thus, Tie Lingyun doesn’t know that you disguised as a man and ca to Luochun Manor?"
"How did you know?"
Tie Chuming was surprised.
"If he knew, he would never let you do sothing so reckless."
Chu Qing slightly shook his head.
"You can’t bla , he clearly promised to take along, but suddenly changed plans to pick up Uncle Cheng.
"He broke his promise first, so why can’t I co here to have so fun?"
When Tie Chuming said this, she had a justified tone.
Chu Qing laughed.
This is a true young mistress unfamiliar with the ways of the world.
Different from Wu Qianhuan and Gentle.
Wu Qianhuan is pure but not naive, her martial arts and sches are beyond her age.
Gentle is naturally unique, with a temperant unlike most won.
But this one, obviously spoiled by Tie Lingyun, a cherished jewel kept under his protection.
Even if she has heard of the dangers of the Martial World, for her, it’s nothing more than words on paper.
With a slight disagreent, she’s willing to take risks.
Even if severely injured, she didn’t feel the true peril of human scheming.
Simply put, she’s spoiled.
But this kind of girl is not unpleasant.
Chu Qing’s smile carried an implicit danger, and as Tie Chuming saw the smile on his face, she felt as if she might have done sothing wrong...
Yet she still forced herself to speak:
"You... you won’t really go back on your word, right?
"People who break their promises... aren’t good at all?"
"Yet I wonder, where did Miss Tie misunderstand that I’m a good person?"
Chu Qing chuckled softly:
"If I use you as a hostage to make the Grand Hall Master hand over Iron Blood Hall, or trade his life for your safety,
"Do you think he would agree?"
Tie Chuming’s face changed drastically:
"You... you, how dare you?"
"At worst, I use the fact that I saved your life as leverage to make him marry you to ,
"Would he agree?"
"...He would."
This ti Tie Chuming answered without any hesitation:
"He has long wanted to get married. Now that you’ve saved my life, if he uses that as a reason, he’ll definitely agree.
"But don’t even think about it, I will never marry you.
"I’ll ask you one last ti, are you really going to keep your word or not?"
"Let give the young lady a lesson today... so she understands the treacherous nature of people."
Chu Qing spread his hands:
"You said I promised you, but with no evidence, do you have any proof?"
"..."
Tie Chuming widened her eyes, unable to believe that soone could speak with such feigned ignorance with such clarity.
"But you clearly just..."
Tie Chuming pointed at Chu Qing.
However, Chu Qing rely laughed and said:
"Without evidence, Miss Tie should better not speak recklessly.
"It would only invite ridicule if spread around.
"And according to Miss Tie’s statent, I could just as easily say that your father, Tie Lingyun, had long promised to make the next Grand Hall Master of Iron Blood Hall.
"Now that he refuses to step down, isn’t that... breaking his word?"
"Nonsense, when did my father ever say such a thing?"
"How do you know he didn’t say it? All it takes is my word, and if he doesn’t agree, he’s breaking his word."
"...I, I, I’ll fight you!!"
This ti, Tie Chuming truly understood the treacherous nature of people. With a leap, she jumped from the bed and lunged toward Chu Qing.
Chu Qing remained still, a gust of Gang Wind suddenly scattered.
His palm hadn’t moved, but the force arose, and with a burst of wind, Tie Chuming was pushed back onto the bed by this force.
Already injured, she felt pain throughout her entire body with this jolt.
Though naive, even a bit foolish,
she was stubborn, unyielding in her decisions, akin to an unmovable force.
Now wanting to fight to the death with Chu Qing, regardless of the unbearable pain, she tried to get up to confront him.
But as she lifted her head, she saw that the Chu Qing who was sitting at the table was now standing at the bedside.
A flick of his finger, the wind from his finger swept in.
Tie Chuming attempted to slap away Chu Qing’s hand, but before she could get close, she was already pushed away by a surge of True Qi.
Ultimately, she was helplessly sealed by Chu Qing in several acupoints on her body, her Inner Strength stopped working, leaving her to sit there obediently, her eyes wide as she stared at Chu Qing.
In her gaze, there was also a faint trace of fear.
Things were completely different from what she imagined...She thought that as the young mistress of Iron Blood Hall, she was showing sincerity by approaching Chu Qing.
She assud that even if Chu Qing disagreed, he would not disrespect her.
But she didn’t expect, once her identity was exposed... the situation would suddenly turn dire!
The next mont, Chu Qing suddenly grasped her chin.
As Chu Qing slowly approached, Tie Chuming’s pupils were filled with fear:
"You, you don’t co any closer..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was pinned onto the bed by Chu Qing.
Tie Chuming’s fear nearly turned into despair...
Yet at this mont, Chu Qing released her, smiling with a hint of ridicule:
"Rest assured, Miss Tie, your sowhat ager figure doesn’t yet pique my interest."
Saying this, he pulled the quilt over her:
"Since you’re injured, just lie down properly, don’t move about, lest your wounds reopen."
Tie Chuming froze for a mont, feeling the fear receding like the tide.
Seeing the quilt covering her, she inexplicably felt a touch of warmth and bit her lip:
"You... you sealed my acupoints to prevent from hurting myself?"
"Not only naive, but also sentintal."
Chu Qing sighed:
"In your situation, if you encounter soone with malicious intent, you might truly be finished.
"Rest assured, preventing you from harming yourself is mainly to ensure you don’t do anything reckless, so that we can sell you at a good price to Tie Lingyun later on.
"So there’s no need to be inexplicably moved by such minor favors...it’s not worth it, huh."
"...You, you are simply a scoundrel!!!"
The feeling of being moved disappeared instantly, and Tie Chuming swore she had never been so annoyed with a person in her life.
Chu Qing smiled nonchalantly, just then footsteps were heard from outside the door.
Then, he heard the maid outside say:
"Young Master, the Young Mistress is here."
"Let her in quickly."
With a creak, the door opened.
Gentle sniffed the air:
"There’s the scent of a woman."
Chu Qing pointed to the bed:
"Here she is, Tie Lingyun’s daughter, how about we conspire to sell her?"
"Huh?"
Gentle’s voice was filled with doubt, though it didn’t show on her face.
She turned her head to look at Tie Chuming:
"So it’s Miss Tie."
Then..... Gentle gave her a not-so-gentle smile.
