Chapter 25 Tidying Up...
Chapter Twenty-Five: Tidying Up
Laudenuo knew that Yue Lingshan cared about the suddenly appearing Linghao, but Yue Buqun cared about many other things, especially the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Although the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual was now more common, and many people in Fuzhou City had it, he still cared about it.
One evening, Yue Buqun quietly went out, while Lao Denuo kept a close eye on him. He saw Yue Buqun leave quietly and then quietly return, carrying a scroll in his arms. If he remembered correctly, most of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manuals in Fuzhou City were now in scroll form.
Laudenau believed that Yue Buqun must have obtained a copy of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from somewhere, either by stealing or robbing, after leaving the palace. He kept staring at him, and seeing how much he cared about the scroll, he became even more certain of his suspicions.
He hesitated about what to do next. He considered stealing the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, but then thought that there were so many of them now that stealing it wouldn't seem to be of much use. After thinking it over, Laudenuo decided to wait for news from the other side first.
Did Yue Buqun have the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual in the bundle he was carrying? Of course he did. He had been keeping an eye on the Fuwei Escort Agency specifically for this Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Although he now had many of these manuals, he still didn't want to give up. If Ling Hao hadn't appeared, and if the Sword Sect hadn't emerged, perhaps he wouldn't have done this.
However, Ling Hao's appearance and her unparalleled swordsmanship put immense pressure on Yue Buqun. Their Qi Sect had once surpassed the Sword Sect, but now the Qi Sect had declined, while the Sword Sect had found a worthy successor. How could Yue Buqun remain calm and composed?
Unable to improve his own martial arts skills, he resorted to unorthodox methods. Although there are now many versions of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, people are different, and who can guarantee that others will master it? Yue Buqun believed that he was different from others and that he was the one who could truly master the sword.
Yue Buqun and Lao Denuo were both preoccupied with their own thoughts, so no one paid any attention to Yue Lingshan. Although she was also thinking about her senior brother, the fact that no one was paying attention to her made her feel down. However, the thought of seeing her second senior brother soon cheered her up.
Hmph, Father might not believe it, but Second Senior Brother will definitely believe her. She's going to tell him that Eldest Senior Brother is still alive. Well, although Eldest Senior Brother has a new hobby—wearing women's clothes—she's his junior sister, and Second Senior Brother is his junior brother, so they definitely won't look down on him.
"Achoo—!" After parting ways with Dongfang Bubai, Ling Hao kept sneezing for some reason. She felt that someone must have been talking about her, but who that person was was hard to say. It was less likely to be Dongfang Bubai, but it was also possible to be the Lin family, though most likely it was the group of people she had beaten up.
However, she didn't care right now; she was going to find Yue Buqun and the others. The Sword Sect's challenge to the Qi Sect wasn't over yet, so why had they run away? Clearly, after the great battle, Linghao had a new understanding of her own abilities and had changed her target from Linghu Chong to Yue Buqun.
She hadn't expected them to escape, and for a moment she didn't know where to start chasing them. Moreover, she had forgotten some of the plot details from the original story, so she really didn't know where to begin.
Dongfang Bubai saw through her thoughts, told her where the Huashan Sect was, and then left. He didn't say goodbye to Linghao either, just as he had come suddenly and left just as suddenly.
However, Linghao always had a feeling that they would meet again.
Then, Linghao, carrying her bundle, rode a cloud and clattered out of Fuzhou City, heading in the direction given by Dongfang Bubai. Shortly after she left, a group of people surrounded the inn where she had stayed, shouting that they should hand over Linghao or they would kill them.
The shopkeeper, somewhat trembling with fear, still managed to suppress his apprehension and answer that the person they were looking for had already left.
Upon hearing this, the men flew into a rage and drew their weapons, ready to kill everyone in the inn. But the next moment, they were surrounded by the others.
"The Qingcheng Sect is really quite imposing," a woman wearing a veiled hat said, standing behind the group of martial artists, her voice full of sarcasm.
The people surrounding the inn—who were also disciples of the Qingcheng Sect—were displeased. "You, a woman… um…" Before he could finish speaking, it was as if his tongue had been cut off. The piece of his tongue fell to the ground, and he covered his mouth in terror.
"You're all lucky to be alive." The woman wearing the veil, or rather, the poet, waved her hand, signaling her people to take the Qingcheng Sect members away. She looked towards the outskirts of Fuzhou City and sighed softly, "It's fortunate that your sect leader and important disciples are here, otherwise it would have been very difficult for me."
She didn't know where the young master had gotten the news from Fuzhou, but he ordered her to deal with Yu Canghai and made sure she didn't lose him. Helpless, Shici had no choice but to quickly surround and tie up the Qingcheng Sect men. She still had to catch up with Ling Hao; if she lost him, she feared she would be in big trouble.
However… when Shici thought of that string of sweet lychees, her eyes brightened considerably beneath her veil. Following Linghao was better than following the unpredictable young master, and besides, it was the young master's order; if the Emperor asked, she wouldn't be in a difficult position.
In short, she had to deal with Yu Canghai first and then catch up with him quickly.
In the distance, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the group before leaving. If he wasn't mistaken, the woman appeared to be a subordinate of a newly rising force in the martial arts world. However, he didn't care about that now. He barely paid attention to the Sun Moon Sect anymore, so why would he care about this?
Now, Dongfang Bubai felt that what he needed to do was find someone to learn how to paint. He thought Ling Hao was right; it was probably because his painting skills were poor that he couldn't apply makeup. Once he learned to paint, he would definitely be able to apply makeup.
Yu Canghai was dealt with and kidnapped by people from unknown sources, including disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. Other martial arts practitioners from other places either felt Fuzhou was dangerous or had already obtained what they wanted, and they also left Fuzhou one after another.
Thus, the predicament of Fuwei Escort Agency was resolved, and everyone in the agency was extremely grateful to Ling Hao, only regretting that she hadn't stayed so they could repay her properly.
So what was the reason that everyone at Fuwei Escort Agency was so grateful to Ling Hao? Well, she had a little accident and ended up picking up a person.
No, that's not quite right. To be precise, she rescued someone from a trap. This person had a rather strange appearance; his beard was trimmed to match the shape of his eyebrows.
A note from the author:

Gongzi Yu: Foolish little brother, don't even think about going back.
Gongzi Mingyue: Damn brother, all you do is get in my way. Humph, even if I can't leave, I can still send messages!
