Chapter 212: Chapter 212: A Strong Start but a Weak Finish

Tang Chuxia didn’t even need to turn her head to know it was Gu Beihuai—no one else talked like that.

"Focus!"

Tang Chuxia shouted back, and she certainly wasn’t going to listen to Gu Beihuai. She had already irritated him, so doing it one more time wouldn’t matter.

The battle lasted far longer than Tang Chuxia had anticipated, and this time she truly hadn’t lifted a finger.

Amid the old Taoist’s and the old monk’s constant chanting of "Infinite Heavenly Venerate" and "Amitabha," their movements were swift, accurate, and ruthless. What shocked Tang Chuxia the most was the old Taoist’s duster—it barely had any bristles left, but whenever it swept out, someone would be sent flying.

She came to understand that the old Taoist’s duster wasn’t plucked bald by himself, but rather, made so by whipping people with it.

The old monk with the seven scars had a pair of Arhat Legs that kicked out afterimages.

As for Third Grandpa, he was even more exceptional. The bugs in his hand seemed endless, and where the bugs went, wails of agony followed.

Finally, let’s talk about the orchestrator of all this, the uncle’s father-in-law. He went from being full of confidence at the start to frantic distress, and in the face of certain defeat, he somehow ended up getting close to Tang Chuxia.

His original intention was to drug Tang Chuxia and take her away, but before the needle in his hand could touch her, it was blocked by a piece of metal, and Tang Chuxia took the opportunity to squat down and grab the uncle’s ankle.

Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, Tang Chuxia swung the balding old man around like a flaming wheel.

The old Taoist clicked his tongue, "This lass really is angry!"

The old monk brought his hands together, "Even the Wrathful King Kong would retreat three feet before the temper of the female Bodhisattva!"

Third Grandpa sighed, "Her ancestor had the same temperament—people said she was a proper lady, but actually, she could slap two bandits to death with a single palm!"

Elder Huang suddenly realized, "So it’s a powerful inheritance!"

Gone was the tense atmosphere of the recent battle.

Tang Wanqiu and the young man were trying to flee, but Lin Qingchen, and others lurking in the shadows, wouldn’t allow it.

Gu Beihuai suddenly saw a bamboo under the hem of the young man’s flying clothes and instantly gave the order, "Capture Qingzhu alive!"

The hidden forces stopped defending and all attacked the young man.

The young man grabbed Tang Wanqiu as a human shield, and she cursed, "You bastard!"

Dragging her in front of him, the young man retorted, "You only realized it today?"

Seeing the young man’s complete disregard for her safety, Tang Wanqiu shouted at Tang Chuxia, "Tang Chuxia, if you don’t save me now, nobody will be able to save the child in your sister-in-law’s womb!"

Tang Chuxia abruptly stopped, tossing the already dazed uncle before Elder Huang’s feet, "Grandpa Huang, make sure he can’t move!"

Elder Huang was well aware of the uncle’s dangerousness and didn’t need a reminder; he immediately took out a silver needle and jabbed the uncle in several spots. Meanwhile, Tang Chuxia yelled at Gu Beihuai, "Don’t let Tang Wanqiu die!"

Gu Beihuai was also afraid that Tang Wanqiu was serious, but being concerned for her would give Qingzhu a chance to escape.

What the bamboo represented, Tang Chuxia and the others didn’t know, but Gu Beihuai and his group were fully aware.

If you were concerned about attacking, you couldn’t go all out.

Just as the young man was about to escape, Tang Chuxia looked around and finally set her sights on the huge jade stone in the center.

Others might not have any thoughts about the jade, but Tang Chuxia was different.

She ran over, grabbed the jade and yelled out to everyone, "Be careful!"

At her words, the jade flew out, heading straight for the young man.

The young man knew that if he kept pulling Tang Wanqiu along, even he would get hit by the jade, so he pushed Tang Wanqiu towards the incoming stone, hoping she would block the impact of the jade.

Then he turned tail and ran.

Tang Chuxia had anticipated his actions; she wouldn’t let him get away that easily.

From the moment she said "be careful," Tang Chuxia made it seem as if she tossed the jade away, but in reality, although it was indeed heavy, it did not burden her in the slightest; she could still completely control its direction with a flick of her hand.

By the time the young man pushed Tang Wanqiu away, Tang Chuxia had already changed the direction of the jade in her hand and even accelerated its movement.

Thud—

A dull sound emerged, and the young man was struck by the jade, which also pinned his foot, eliciting an immediate scream of pain.

Everyone felt a tinge of sympathy.

After all, being hit by a stone below the shin is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Tang Chuxia clapped her hands and called out to Gu Beihuai, "Catch him!"

Gu Beihuai naturally did not hesitate and grabbed the young man, flipping up the corner of his clothes.

"Gu Beihuai, what are you doing? You wouldn’t be trying to do something inappropriate, would you?"

Tang Chuxia’s shout almost caused Gu Beihuai to punch the young man’s lights out.

He managed to control himself and then said, "Shut up!"

Third Grandpa also came over for a look, and naturally, there was no Qingzhu on the clothing, but he signaled Gu Beihuai to check for a Qingzhu tattoo on the young man’s ankle.

Confirmed, it was the person they were looking for.

The young man’s struggles were futile, and Gu Beihuai dislocated his jaw, fearing he would blurt out something he shouldn’t say, and let Qin Zhan, who had come running over, take the man away.

Tang Chuxia curiously looked around; she had no idea where Qin Zhan had popped up from.

As for her grand-uncle, he had also come to his senses by now but was now unable to intervene, only able to watch helplessly as they took action.

Tang Chuxia tried to slip away but was caught by the collar of her clothes by Gu Beihuai and pulled back.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

With a voracious expression, Gu Beihuai looked like he could eat someone alive, and Tang Chuxia didn’t dare to mess around, laughing foolishly twice, "Uh, don’t be mad, I just saw it wrong!"

After all, Gu Beihuai’s actions just then could have easily been misunderstood, but she didn’t dare to speak recklessly anymore for fear of being dealt with.

Gu Beihuai pinched her cheek, "Just you wait!"

Tang Chuxia stuck out her tongue and then approached Tang Wanqiu, who had already been restrained, "Tell me, what role did you play in all of this?"

Tang Wanqiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; she had been hurt when the young man had thrown her out.

At this moment, she looked at Tang Chuxia with a calmness in her eyes.

Tang Chuxia had considered many possibilities, but she had never expected Tang Wanqiu to be so tranquil, especially with an emotion in her eyes that Tang Chuxia couldn’t comprehend.

"What, you want to know?"

Tang Wanqiu rubbed her wrists and shook off the person who had grabbed her arm.

Tang Chuxia nodded; she really couldn’t see through her.

Tang Wanqiu smiled, "Too bad I’m not in the mood to talk!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

She was about to continue questioning when she saw Yang Chao rush in with others; the place was suddenly swarming with people. Tang Wanqiu was naturally taken away by Yang Chao, but before leaving, Yang Chao approached Tang Chuxia.

"Mr. Tang, my earlier offer still stands, you might want to consider it!"

Yang Chao was indeed busy and, without waiting for Tang Chuxia’s response, left with Tang Wanqiu, although just as they reached the doorway, Tang Wanqiu turned to look at her.

Her eyes were filled with an emotion so complex it was almost tangible; yet, in the end, she didn’t say anything and left with Yang Chao.

The old Daoist spun his duster and whispered in Tang Chuxia’s ear, "That girl is up to something."
