Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Acquaintance

"However, she could only show a pitiful appearance and said, ’Sister, save me!’"

Jiang Qingxue patted the young lady in the pink skirt’s head, smiled, and said: "Don’t worry, with the young master here, nothing will happen to you!"

Yesterday, the method Ling Chen used was simply miraculous, and she already regarded him as a god-like figure.

"Stop!"

Ling Chen stepped forward and blocked the three young men who were chasing after them.

All three of them were at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

However, in front of Ling Chen, this level of cultivation was simply insufficient.

"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s affairs!"

The leading young man stared coldly at Ling Chen.

"Tell me, why are you capturing her?"

Ling Chen asked.

He was not a bleeding-heart; if this woman’s behavior was objectionable, he would not shield her.

This was different from Jiang Qingxue’s situation.

"Kid, who do you think you are to question me?"

The leading young man snorted coldly, becoming quite impatient: "If you know what’s good for you, just get out of the way. This matter doesn’t concern you. Otherwise, I will make sure you can’t leave Tianluo Prefecture!"

"Heh, that’s some big talk!"

Ling Chen smiled and said: "What? Are you someone from the Palace Master of Tianluo Prefecture?"

"No. But dealing with you guys is no issue. Kid, listen carefully, we are from the He Family, the foremost among the seven great families of Tianluo Prefecture!"

"He Family again?"

Ling Chen was startled.

The leading young man said somewhat guiltily: "What do you mean by that?"

Ling Chen smiled, pointed at Jiang Qingxue, and said: "Earlier, a group of people from He Family made a move against her."

The three young men exchanged looks.

Isn’t this too coincidental?

They were just acting, randomly mentioning He Family, and it coincided just like that?

"Perfect!"

The leading young man nodded: "Then you come back with us too!"

"Great! We will go back with you. The person from the He Family earlier had just invited us over!"

Ling Chen nodded.

He wanted to see what kind of family the He Family was, always spawning these kinds of ruffians who abduct ordinary girls?

"What are you standing there for? Lead the way!"

Ling Chen said to the three men.

"Okay! Just don’t run away, alright!"

Saying this, the three young men led the way.

Ling Chen and his party closely followed.

The girl in the pink skirt was nearly exploding with rage; she had paid these three men money to stage this act to create a chance encounter for her and Ling Chen.

But now, Ling Chen actually intended to visit the He Family to verify?

"Run!"

However, what shocked her even more was that shortly after leading the way, someone shouted, and the three men ran off in three different directions.

"Ah?"

Ling Chen and his companions looked at each other.

What’s going on?

He had agreed to go with them, and yet these people ran away themselves?

Ling Chen could only look at the girl in the pink skirt and said: "Miss, the people chasing you have run away; you should be safe now."

Such a bizarre occurrence was also a first for him.

"Really?"

The girl in the pink skirt looked around.

"Yes, it seems these men were just using the He Family’s name to deceive you. Did you offend someone?"

Ling Chen asked.

The girl in the pink skirt pitifully said: "I don’t know. I was kidnapped by human traffickers, saying that I was to become a concubine for an old man, the seventy-eighth, and I sneaked out when the guards were lax."

"That’s horrible!"

Jiang Qingxue and Piano Girl both said angrily.

Ling Chen continued to ask: "Then where is your home?"

"I don’t know, I only know my home is in Luoye Village."

The girl in the pink skirt said.

"What’s your name?"

Ling Chen asked again.

"Yu Qing."

The girl in the pink skirt said.

Ling Chen asked more questions, but this Yu Qing knew almost nothing helpful, apart from her name.

How big is the Great Xia Dynasty, and how difficult is it to find a village called Luoye Village?

"Esteemed young master, please don’t leave me behind!"

Seeing Ling Chen looking troubled, Yu Qing quickly pleaded with her teary, wide eyes.

"What should I do?"

Ling Chen looked at Piano Girl.

They were going to Flowers Valley to snatch the Star Soul Fruit; they surely couldn’t bring this fellow who was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm?

Piano Girl glanced at Yu Qing and sighed, "Let’s bring her along for now. Once we reach Xiongwu Prefecture, I’ll arrange something."

People of the Dark Night were scattered throughout the Great Xia Dynasty; arranging for one person was still not a big problem.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded.

"Thank you, young master and both sisters!"

Yu Qing quickly saluted the three of them.

The four continued on their journey.

By nightfall, they finally arrived at Zhenwu Prefecture City.

Entering the city was just a routine check, and they were allowed to enter.

However, after they left, a guard took out a Communication Token and said, "Young Master Cheng, they have arrived."

"Good!"

A voice came from the Token, gritting its teeth—it was He Cheng.

...

The next day.

Outside the inn where Ling Chen was staying.

"Move aside, move aside!"

Dozens of guards dressed in He Family attire surrounded the front gate of the inn, driving away all unrelated persons.

Those who were driven away dared not speak up angrily.

The guards parted, and two figures walked out.

"Brother Mu, I’ll have to trouble you this time!"

He Cheng looked at a young man in a green robe and smiled.

"Brother Cheng, rest assured. You and I are both from the He Family, to hit you is to slap our He Family’s face."

The young man in the green robe said proudly.

"Then let me thank Brother Mu first!"

He Cheng flattered.

"It’s a small matter."

The young man in the green robe said proudly.

Upon hearing this, He Cheng walked into the inn, and said to the innkeeper, "Come, call this person out for me!"

He said, throwing down a portrait.

It was Ling Chen.

The innkeeper hurriedly took the portrait, glanced at it, and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

He was just an innkeeper and truly could not afford to offend the offspring of the He Family!

"I’m sorry, young master!"

The innkeeper silently mourned for Ling Chen.

"Sir, I’m sorry, we are closing down the inn. The room fee from last night will be refunded to you, please find another place to stay."

The innkeeper said with a bitter smile.

The descendant of the He Family, he couldn’t afford to offend.

He could only offend Ling Chen.

"Closing down?"

Ling Chen looked at the innkeeper.

The innkeeper said with a bitter smile, "Young master, have you offended someone from the He Family? I advise you to hurry down and apologize; otherwise, no inn in the whole Tianluo Prefecture City would dare to accommodate you."

"Did people from the He Family come?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Saying so, he walked downstairs.

Outside the inn, he immediately felt numerous hostile gazes.

"What, wasn’t yesterday’s lesson enough?"

Ling Chen instantly saw He Cheng.

"Kid, you dared to offend me, Young Master, and still dared to enter Tianluo Prefecture City, huh! Watch how I’ll deal with you!"

He Cheng’s face was full of resentment, and he occasionally let out a laugh, as though pondering various ways to deal with Ling Chen.

"Is that so?"

Ling Chen looked at He Cheng and said, "I’ve already entered, what can you do to me?"

"Brother Mu, give our brother a good lesson!"

He Cheng said proudly, looking backwards towards the young man in the green robe.

When his gaze fell on the young man’s face, he found the latter looking dumbfounded.

"Brother Mu, it’s your turn to make a move!"

He Cheng nudged the young man in the green robe.

"Ling Chen?"

The young man in the green robe said in disbelief.

"He Mu?"

Ling Chen was also forced to smile.

Unexpectedly, an old rival met again today, in a tense and hostile situation.

He Mu also had not expected that the Divine Thought Master mentioned by He Cheng was actually Ling Chen.

Wasn’t this guy a Spiritual Power Practitioner?
