Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing didn’t have the slightest hesitation and replied directly, ”Whatever Miss Huangfu needs me to do, just command me. I owe Miss Huangfu, and no matter if it’s through mountains of knives or seas of fire, I will do my utmost to accomplish it!”

”Don’t worry, my young mistress won’t make you climb mountains of knives or descend into seas of fire!” Tianfu said, ”She asked me to tell you that the first thing you need to do for her is not to get involved in the matter between the Shen Family and Sha Men.”

”Ah?” Ye Qing couldn’t help but be stunned, as he had initially thought that Huangfu Ziyu wanted him to deal with someone or do something for her. It was unexpected that she would make such a request. That wasn’t doing something for her at all!

”Can you do it?” Tianfu asked solemnly.

”This...” Ye Qing scratched his head and said, ”This can’t really count as repaying Miss Huangfu’s favor, can it...”

”Don’t worry about that for now, my young mistress said that this counts as the first thing you’re doing for her!” Tianfu looked at Ye Qing and said somberly, ”Just answer me, can you do it, or can’t you?”

Ye Qing fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, ”Since Miss Huangfu has said so, then I promise her, I will not meddle in the affairs between Sha Men and the Shen Family!”

”That’s good!” Tianfu nodded and said, ”Mr. Ye, I hope you can keep your word. Since you’ve promised my young mistress, don’t go back on your word. Otherwise, I will be the first to not let you off!”

Ye Qing replied, ”Uncle Fu can rest assured, when Mr. Ye gives his word, he abides by it; there will be absolutely no falsehoods!”

In fact, since Ye Qing had heard from Old Wang Ba about the situation between the Shen Family and Sha Men, he had decided not to get involved in this battle between them. With his strength, he had no right to speak in front of these people anyway. Moreover, neither Sha Men nor the Shen Family had been decent characters in that incident ten years ago; there was no such thing as a victim. Therefore, Ye Qing didn’t want to help either side and would rather just watch from the sidelines!

”Uncle Fu, what about the second thing?” Ye Qing asked.

”My young mistress hasn’t thought of it yet, don’t be impatient,” Tianfu waved his hand and said, ”You just focus on getting this matter right for now. Ye Qing, I still say the same thing, I hope you remember what you’ve said. Since you promised my young mistress, don’t go back on your word!”

When Tianfu said these words, his tone was clearly stern, and the look in his eyes held a chill when he looked at Ye Qing. Ye Qing didn’t know why there seemed to be so much hostility towards him all of a sudden, and was somewhat surprised, but he still nodded and said, ”Uncle Fu, rest assured!”

”Hmph!” Tianfu snorted coldly, didn’t say anything more, and turned to leave directly.

”Uncle Fu, won’t you stay a bit longer?” Ye Qing hurriedly followed him out.

”No need!” Tianfu briskly waved his hand, ignoring Ye Qing and left Tian Sheng directly.

Ye Qing watched Tianfu get into a car at the entrance, filled with surprise. Huangfu Ziyu had always been unpredictable, and Ye Qing had always been very guarded against her. But since the last time she risked her life by jumping off a cliff to save him, Ye Qing really felt an indescribable sentiment towards this enchanting woman. For some reason, after that time, she often came to mind. That beautiful face was no longer seen as bewitching in Ye Qing’s heart, and whenever he thought of her, he couldn’t help but recall that sudden yet unforgettable kiss on the cliff!

Ye Qing didn’t know what love was, but he knew that his heart had truly begun to stir. However, whenever he thought of Huangfu Ziyu, the image of another ethereally beautiful woman would involuntarily flash through his mind. Shen Qingyi, whom he had only met twice and who also left a deep impression on him, seemed to be engraved in his memory.

In Ye Qing’s own heart, he preferred girls like Shen Qingyi. Gentle and kind without schemes, naive to the ways of the world, yet pure and endearing. Huangfu Ziyu was the complete opposite of Shen Qingyi. Shen Qingyi wouldn’t even dare to harm an ant, while Huangfu Ziyu had killed numerous people. Shen Qingyi was clueless about the complexities of human relationships and was powerless and tenderhearted. In contrast, Huangfu Ziyu was already the most dominant figure in the Eastern Province, with tough methods, feared by many.

These two women, one was like the most sacred angel, so beautiful that it’s intimidating to look at. And the other, like a demon wrapped in flames from Hell, her beauty not permitting anyone to behold it.

A white rose, pure and translucent, and a blood-red rose, vibrant and dripping blood - how to choose between them, who knows?

Tianfu sat in the car, looking at Ye Qing standing silently at the door, and couldn’t help but snort in resentment, murmuring to himself, ”I don’t know what the young mistress sees in this kid, not even capable of Internal Energy Release. He’ll stay this way his whole life, utterly useless for the revitalization of the Huangfu Household; what use is he to us!”

The driver, White Wolf, had a calm expression as he glanced at Ye Qing through the rearview mirror and said, ”Actually, he’s not bad. Surrounded by so many girls, but he’s always kept his integrity. In this day and age, there aren’t many men like that!”

”Toads with three legs are hard to find, but men with two legs are everywhere. What’s so great about remaining pure and uninvolved? If you want to find someone like that, it’s not difficult!” Tianfu said angrily, ”What I’m most worried about is Miss Huangfu. Last time, in order to save him, she even jumped off the cliff with him. Thankfully, she wasn’t seriously hurt, otherwise, how could we face the deceased souls of the Huangfu Family!”

White Wolf also sighed. The incident of Huangfu Ziyu jumping off the cliff had also been a huge blow to the two of them. They had been bound and held captive by the Right Protector of the Blood-Sealed Throat for several days, and at the time, they had both lost hope, believing Huangfu Ziyu was truly dead. In the end, it was Huangfu Ziyu who rescued them, and while they were overjoyed, deep down they were also scared. If Huangfu Ziyu had really died, what meaning would there be left for them to live?

Tianfu’s animosity towards Ye Qing was precisely because of this matter; he always felt that it was Ye Qing who had dragged Huangfu Ziyu down.

”This Broom Star, always causing trouble!” Tianfu said with a heavy voice, ”I always feel that Miss will definitely suffer a great loss because of him in the future. Ah, if it were up to me, I should have killed him right from the start!”

White Wolf glanced at Ye Qing and sighed again. He was always taciturn and didn’t wish to say much. However, what he was most concerned about was still Huangfu Ziyu.

After muttering a few words, Tianfu eventually took out his phone and called Huangfu Ziyu to inform her of the matter. Huangfu Ziyu never said anything from start to finish, simply acknowledging she understood after Tianfu finished speaking, and then hung up the phone.

Tianfu put down the phone and sighed, saying, ”Ah, Miss still can’t let go of him!”

In a villa in the suburbs of Shenchuan City, Huangfu Ziyu sat quietly on the couch, saying nothing, doing nothing. She had been sitting there for almost two hours without saying a single word, making the atmosphere inside the room eerily silent.

Finally, Xiao Hong, standing behind her, bit her lip as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly walked in front of Huangfu Ziyu and said, ”Miss, there’s something I know I shouldn’t say, but I still want to say it!”

”If you know you shouldn’t say it, then don’t!” Huangfu Ziyu replied coldly, not giving her a chance to speak.

”Even if you kill me, I have to say this!” Xiao Hong said loudly, ”If you really can’t let go of him, then go see him. Why torture yourself like this? Miss, it really hurts to see you like this!”

Huangfu Ziyu’s gaze turned icy as she fixed a deadly stare at Xiao Hong, her face filled with murderous intent, as if she was prepared to kill.

Xiao Hong, aware of Huangfu Ziyu’s temper, was trembling with fear, but still insisted, ”Miss, there’s nothing wrong with loving someone. You’re a girl, you shouldn’t have to shoulder so much responsibility. If you love him, just boldly tell him, what’s wrong with that? Be with him, don’t carry these burdens, don’t shoulder the family’s responsibilities, and you’ll definitely be happier than you are now!”

Huangfu Ziyu slowly stood up and walked over to Xiao Hong. Frightened, Xiao Hong shivered uncontrollably, and the other girls nearby were also trembling with fear. Everyone wanted to plead for Xiao Hong, but knowing Huangfu Ziyu’s temperament, not a single one dared to speak.

As Huangfu Ziyu approached, Xiao Hong’s face took on a look of despair. She slowly closed her eyes and said, ”Miss, my life was given to me by you, and I would have no complaints if you took it back. But, Miss, I really don’t want to see you like this!”

Huangfu Ziyu extended her hand, as fair as jade, and gently touched Xiao Hong’s face. She did not carry out the killing, instead, she wiped the tears from her face.

Xiao Hong was startled, having thought that Huangfu Ziyu was about to kill her, but was met with such a gentle gesture. She opened her eyes, surprised and touched, looking at the enchanting woman she adored!

”My surname is Huangfu, it’s something destined, and it will never change!” Huangfu Ziyu lifted her head slowly and said softly, ”I carry all the missions of the Huangfu Family on my shoulders, and I must move forward. The people of the Huangfu Family, even if only one woman remains, will never be trampled underfoot. Even if only a woman remains, she must uphold the entire Huangfu Family. No matter how difficult the path is, no matter how heavy the responsibilities are, I will bear them to the end!”

Xiao Hong looked at Huangfu Ziyu and said, ”But, Miss, if he helps you, perhaps rebuilding the family will be a bit easier. Even if you really have to bear these responsibilities, you will eventually need to marry to continue the Huangfu Family. If you share your heart with him, it doesn’t conflict at all with reviving the Huangfu Family!”

Huangfu Ziyu shook her head and replied, ”I don’t see him to protect him. I’ve already dragged him into the turmoil of Shenchuan City by using him for the Huangfu Family’s cause, by drawing out the Shen Family’s people; I’ve pushed him into trouble that isn’t his own. I don’t want him to face any more danger!”

Xiao Hong didn’t know that Huangfu Ziyu had thought so much; she sighed quietly and said softly, ”Miss, you’ve done so much for him, and yet he knows nothing. Is it worth it?”

”Worth it?” Huangfu Ziyu softly repeated those words, laughing bitterly to herself.

Is it worth it? She didn’t know herself!
