Zhang Jun gave a desolate smile, rembering how his wife always complained about his stubborn temperant, preferring to break rather than bend.
He slowly closed his eyes, letting Zhang Qihu take action.
Oh well, this way he could see her sooner.
Zhang Qihu reached out his hand, with a cold Force emanating from his palm.
He only needed to lightly tap the Tan Zhong acupoint on the opponent's chest and pierce with Cold Ice Power to create the false appearance of a heart attack death.
"You forced ."
Zhang Qihu's gaze turned completely cold, his intent to kill was determined.
His left index finger emitted cold air, leaving behind a trace of remnant shadow, pointing towards Zhang Jun's Tan Zhong acupoint.
But in the next second, his finger felt cold, followed by a sharp pain.
"Ah—"
Zhang Qihu scread and instinctively erupted Protective Force, retreating backward.
His scream startled the gang mbers who were smashing things around, causing them to rush over.
The crowd was shocked to see their Gang Leader clutching his left hand tightly, while on the bluestone floor between Zhang Qihu and Zhang Jun, lay a bloody severed finger!
"Who is this senior? Why attack secretly?"
Zhang Qihu looked around, his expression grave.
No matter what, he was a Refining Strength Martial Master, with strength ranking steadily within the top ten of Sann City.
But earlier, he hadn't even reacted in the slightest before his finger was cut off, and it was cut off remotely!
This was terrifying.
The person who attacked must be at least at the Tao Foundation Stage!
Suddenly, Zhang Qihu's vision blurred, and he noticed a blue figure appearing beside Zhang Jun.
The newcor was dressed in blue, wearing a cloak, with an obscured face.
"Seems like I ca just in ti."
The newcor ignored Zhang Qihu and spoke to Zhang Jun.
Her voice was bright, light, like the wind chis under the eaves.
Zhang Jun opened his eyes, looking at the newcor with so confusion:
"Who are you?"
Then Ning Qingman lifted the cloak, revealing her face to Zhang Jun.
She smiled and said, "Do you rember ?"
Zhang Jun's eyes widened: "Lady Ning? It's you!"
Eleven years ago, he was the Director of the Main Engineering Departnt and had offended soone. While checking the road outside the city, he was attacked by assassins.
At the ti, all his guards were killed, and in the face of death, he was saved by the passing Ning Qingman.
Later, Ning Qingman stayed in Sann City for a month, and they beca acquainted.
"Miss Hero, I am Zhang Qihu, the Tiger Saber Gang Leader, working for the Tianshui Sword Tower! You better think twice before acting rashly today."
Zhang Qihu heard their conversation and knew things weren't good, so he imdiately tried to pull out his biggest backing.
His Cultivation Technique, Implant, and Elixir were all provided by the Tianshui Sword Tower.
The Tiger Saber Gang is a tool kept in Sann City by the Tianshui Sword Tower to do things inconvenient for the Sect.
And Tianshui Sword Tower is the strongest Jianghu Sect in Chunyan Manor.
The Sword Tower Master Hua Donghan is the first swordsman of Chunyan Manor and a Martial Arts Master!
Even if the newcor is at the Tao Foundation Stage level, Zhang Qihu thought that bringing up the na of Tianshui Sword Tower should be able to intimidate the opponent.
But...
Ning Qingman didn't turn around at all, Zhang Qihu's Protective Force was suddenly pierced by an Invisible Sword Qi, leaving a bloody hole in his chest!
"You..."
Zhang Qihu widened his eyes, looking incredulously at Ning Qingman's back, full of unwillingness as he fell down.
"Gang Leader!"
The surrounding gang mbers exclaid, all dumbfounded.
The Tiger Saber Gang Leader died just like that?!
"Take the corpse away and go find your backing."
Ning Qingman's voice sounded again, this ti her tone was cold.
The dozen gang mbers exchanged glances, taking a long ti to react.
Not daring to leave a harsh word, they quickly carried away Zhang Qihu's corpse, leaving only the blood on the ground.
"Lady Ning, you this..."
Zhang Jun was also stunned.
He also recalled that eleven years ago, during the month Ning Qingman stayed in Sann City, many underworld figures and so corrupt officials inexplicably died.
At the ti, Zhang Jun suspected Ning Qingman but couldn't confirm it.
Seeing this scene today, he finally understood the truth.
"Old Zhang, do you still have your self-brewed 桂花酒 (Osmanthus wine)? If you do, bring it out for to taste, I've been craving it for years."
Ning Qingman said with a smile.
Her revisiting was mainly for the taste of this wine.
Back then, when she saved Zhang Jun, he wanted to thank her, offering things which were all declined, until he brought out his self-brewed wine, which moved her.
Thus, they were tied by their love for wine.
Of course, it was mainly because Zhang Jun's temperant appealed to Ning Qingman.
Otherwise, no matter how good the wine was, it wouldn't be enjoyable.
"The wine is still here."
Zhang Jun also revealed a smile, turning and walking quickly towards the inner courtyard.
Ning Qingman followed him into the main hall of the inner courtyard.
Soon, Zhang Jun struggled a bit as he carried a jar of wine into the hall.
Ning Qingman waved her hand, and the wine jar flew into her hand.
Zhang Jun didn't seem surprised by this scene, he just said:
"Lady Ning, take this jar of wine and leave quickly."
Ning Qingman took off her cloak, opened the wine jar, poured so into a teacup, took a sip, and looked at Zhang Jun:
"After all these years, you're quick to chase away?"
Zhang Jun looked into her eyes: "You've saved my life again, but this trouble is different from back then. There's no need to get involved in such a ss for my old useless body."
Ning Qingman laughed brightly: "It's not for you to worry about, co, sit down and drink with ."
"..."
Zhang Jun looked at Ning Qingman, her unchanged youthful face over eleven years, and her calm deanor, deciding not to persuade further, he walked over and sat down.
