"Damn, this pretty boy is so good-looking! If I looked like him, wouldn't all those young ladies be scrambling to throw themselves at me?"
As is well known, all those who can become flower thieves usually have one thing in common.
That is, their appearance is more or less unsightly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk of becoming a womanizer and never returned.
Just like Tian Boguang back then and Yun Zhonghe now, they are both uniquely ugly.
Naturally, one can imagine how Yun Zhonghe felt upon seeing such a handsome face as Chu Qinghe.
When her gaze fell on Chu Qinghe's face, the envy in her eyes quickly turned into jealousy, and finally into hatred.
However, just then, a series of footsteps and a noisy sound quickly rang out from outside.
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Zhonghe's heart tightened, and his muscles tensed as he circulated his true energy.
However, when Yun Zhonghe saw Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing and the other girls in the courtyard, his feet felt like they were made of lead, and he just couldn't bear to leave.
Seeing this, Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath, then put down the sack in his hand and picked up an iron claw steel staff tucked into his waistband.
Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow as he took in Yun Zhonghe's actions.
As his thoughts wandered, he couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
"They really have a death wish."
Before long, a group of servants from Mantuo Manor rushed in from the entrance of the tea garden.
The dozens of torches and lanterns illuminated the once dim and serene tea garden, instantly transforming it into a bright and tranquil space.
After the servants of Mantuo Manor entered the courtyard, Li Qingluo also led her people into the courtyard.
Using the light from the torches and lanterns around her, Li Qingluo glanced at Chu Qinghe and his group before turning her gaze to Yun Zhonghe in the tea garden.
When her gaze fell upon Yun Zhonghe, and then upon seeing the burlap sack beside him, Li Qingluo's face instantly turned cold, and she said in a chilling voice, "Yun Zhonghe?"
Upon hearing Li Qingluo's voice, Yun Zhonghe chuckled and said, "Am I that famous? Even Madam Wang recognized me the first time she saw me."
Seeing Yun Zhonghe's smug expression, Li Qingluo's eyes revealed obvious disdain and disgust.
He then said coldly, "Yun Zhonghe, no one can stop you from doing whatever you want outside, but this is Mantuo Manor. If you know what's good for you, release Yu Yan and leave on your own."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe first glanced at Li Qingluo, then at the four women including Shuimu Yinji, and then shook his head, saying, "Originally, I only intended to kidnap your daughter and take her back to enjoy myself, but I didn't expect your Mantuo Manor to be such a place of outstanding people and beautiful women, hiding five celestial beauties. If they all leave, will I, Yun Zhonghe, still be called a flower thief?"
In response to Yun Zhonghe's words, Li Qingluo said coldly, "My Mantuo Manor is right next to Canhe Manor. I have already sent someone to inform Murong Fu. If you dare to act recklessly again, you know what the consequences will be when Murong Fu arrives."
Seeing Li Qingluo's gloomy expression, Yun Zhonghe chuckled and said, "Why do you think I dared to come here today? Your own nephew passed away this morning."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo's expression changed drastically.
Clearly, Li Qingluo was completely unaware of Murong Fu's departure.
Seeing Li Qinghe's astonished expression, Yun Zhonghe revealed an expression of enjoyment, and then continued, "Moreover, in order to avoid my good time being disturbed, I went to Canhe Village before coming here and dealt with that late-stage Xiantian realm guy that Murong Fu left there before I came."
After a brief pause, Yun Zhonghe looked at Shuimu Yinji and the others and said, "I never expected that in such a short time, five more beauties of unparalleled beauty would arrive. I, Yun Zhonghe, am truly blessed with good fortune today!"
After hearing what Yun Zhonghe said, the women beside him, including Shuimu Yinji, all frowned.
Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "She's quite ugly, but she has such beautiful ideas."
Although it was described as a muttering, the sound was not suppressed at all, and it was particularly clear in the otherwise quiet environment.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but frown and turn to look at Qu Feiyan.
But the moment Yun Zhonghe turned his head, Lianxing immediately turned her head to look at Chu Qinghe, unwilling to look at Yun Zhonghe's face.
Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly as he took in Lianxing's obvious disdain for the ugly look.
After glancing at Yun Zhonghe, he said, "Alright, the boat is still waiting on the lake. Go back and have something to eat, and you can enjoy the lake breeze tonight."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's voice, Shuimu Yinji, Lianxing, and Qu Feiyan exchanged glances and then began to discuss something.
It was as if Buddha was deciding who would take action.
Finally, Lianxing spoke up, "Never mind, I'll do it!"
Since it was the first time Lianxing had gone out with Chu Qinghe, she had to show off her abilities from time to time so that Chu Qinghe could see her strengths and realize that she was capable and no less than Yaoyue.
Seeing that Lianxing was interested, Shuimu Yinji naturally did not object.
Seeing this, Lianxing suppressed her disgust and quickly circulated the true energy within her body.
Sensing the fluctuations of true energy within Lianxing's body, Yun Zhonghe, who had been frowning, instantly changed his expression.
"Damn it, this woman is actually at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm?"
Upon uttering his shock, Yun Zhonghe, sensing something was amiss, immediately used his lightness skill to flee into the distance.
However, just as Yun Zhonghe leaped into the air, Lianxing gently flipped her hand as she circulated her true energy.
In the next instant, terrifying forces rushed towards Yun Zhonghe from all directions, causing him to plummet from the sky as if he were being crushed by several mountains at the same time.
The moment his body hit the ground, the immense, mountain-like force pressed down on Yun Zhonghe, causing his internal organs to tremble violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
After Yun Zhonghe landed from the sky, Lianxing waved her right hand and used her true energy to condense a palm shadow ten feet in size, which slammed down on Yun Zhonghe's body.
Almost the instant the phantom of true energy landed, Chu Qinghe and his group, as well as Li Qingluo and the others from Mantuo Manor opposite them, all felt the ground tremble violently.
The location of this tea garden also stirred up clouds of dust.
A moment later, when the dust settled, Yun Zhonghe was found dead, trapped in a pit.
