Urban Martial Saint

Regarding Ye Qing’s situation, Huangfu Ziyu didn’t know how to explain, so she could only agree with Chen San’s statement. After all, Helian Tiehua is one of the Five Unmatches of the World, and with his strength, there’s no way he could be wrong, right? Moreover, the Bloody Monk said the same, could two Peak Masters both be mistaken?

”Eh, what’s this on him?” Suddenly, Chen Si, standing beside, asked in surprise.

”What is it?” Huangfu Ziyu looked in the direction Chen Si pointed, only seeing Ye Qing’s exposed neck, without noticing anything special.

”Can’t you see it?” Chen Si said: ”Ye Qing seems to be covered with a thin layer of white powder.”

Hearing Chen Si’s words, Chen San and Huangfu Ziyu were taken aback. In fact, if looked closely, Ye Qing’s body was indeed covered with such a thin layer of powder, even his face had it. However, this layer of white powder was so faint that it couldn’t be seen without careful observation.

”Indeed!” Chen San wiped Ye Qing’s arm with a hand, really wiping off some white powder, and couldn’t help but wonder: ”What is this? Did he just crawl out of a flour pile?”

”No way?” Huangfu Ziyu wiped Ye Qing’s face, looking at the powder on her hand, frowned sharply, and said in a deep voice: ”When he came here, he didn’t have this powder on him. Moreover, I just wiped his face earlier, and nothing came off. And even if there was powder on his body, it should have been wiped off then. What’s going on here?”

Hearing Huangfu Ziyu’s words, both Chen San and Chen Si’s faces became serious, as they felt something was amiss.

”What are these powders?” Chen Si wanted to reach out to wipe them, but was stopped by Chen San.

”Don’t touch it!” Chen San took a step back, quickly wiped the white powder off his hand with a cloth, and said gravely: ”This white powder is suspicious!”

Over here, Huangfu Ziyu also obviously felt some numbness in her fingers. She was startled and quickly wiped all the white powder off her hands with a towel, saying in a deep voice: ”What on earth is this stuff?”

”I don’t know what this stuff is either, but one thing is certain...” Chen San stared at Ye Qing and said gravely: ”This stuff is definitely poisonous!”

”Poisonous!?” Huangfu Ziyu’s face changed again, immediately grabbing the towel beside her, and hurriedly went to wipe Ye Qing’s body.

”There wasn’t any poison powder on him earlier, was there? How come these things appeared all of a sudden?” Chen Si asked curiously.

Chen San shrugged, turned to Huangfu Ziyu, and said: ”Miss Huangfu, during this time, has anyone seen the Ye brothers?”

”He’s been here all along; no one has come in.” Huangfu Ziyu replied.

”Then what’s going on?” Chen San was also puzzled. According to Huangfu Ziyu, she had wiped Ye Qing’s face before, so logically, even if Ye Qing had this poison powder on him then, it should have been wiped off. But why is Ye Qing now covered in this poison powder all of a sudden?

”I remembered!” While wiping Ye Qing’s body, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly stopped her actions and said in a deep voice: ”Just now, Bai Wenhao and Zhou Junsheng came over, called me to the living room, and said some irrelevant things. At that time, I was wondering why these two would come to me for no reason. Now that I see it, could it be that they did something?”

Chen San and Chen Si exchanged a look, both sensing something wrong. Bai Wenhao and Zhou Junsheng coming to Huangfu Ziyu’s place at such a time surely could not be unrelated to this matter!

”This window of yours can be opened from the outside without difficulty.” Chen San walked to the window, looked carefully outside, and suddenly frowned: ”No, someone just came in here!”

”Really?” Huangfu Ziyu’s expression turned even colder, she ran to the window, and asked: ”How can you tell?”

Chen San said: ”The lawn outside the window clearly shows traces of someone having stepped on it!”

Huangfu Ziyu looked in the direction Chen San was pointing, and indeed noticed that some of the grass in the clump was pressed flat on the ground. Although it was winter and the grass was all withered and yellow, the turf that had been tread on was distinctly different from the ordinary turf. With careful observation, anyone could spot it at once.

”It really is like this!” Huangfu Ziyu gritted her teeth and said solemnly, ”It must be Bai Wenhao and Zhou Junsheng who deliberately lured me outside, and then got a third person to climb in through the window and smear that Poison Powder on Ye Qing. This is too despicable, I’m going to find them!”

Huangfu Ziyu was about to turn and leave, but was quickly stopped by Chen San.

”Miss Huangfu, what are you going to do finding them right now?” Chen San said.

”Revenge!” Huangfu Ziyu gritted her teeth and said, ”Ye Qing has ended up like this, they still won’t spare him, can they still be considered human? I want to kill them!”

”Miss Huangfu, given Bai Wenhao and Zhou Junsheng’s strength, can you really kill them?” Chen San shook his head and said, ”Going there like this will do nothing but ask for trouble. You wouldn’t be able to kill anyone, and instead would alert them, making them start to guard against you!”

”What do you mean?” Huangfu Ziyu said solemnly, ”Do you mean after what they did to Ye Qing, **** move, I still can’t go find them for revenge?”

”What’s the point of revenge?” Chen Si said, ”Right now, the urgent matter is to keep Ye Qing alive. We’ll deal with other matters later!”

Huangfu Ziyu turned to look at Ye Qing, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face, and angrily said, ”These people have always wanted to put Ye Qing in the Land of Death, it’s not easy trying to safeguard his life!”

”Do not worry, if they really had the guts to attack Ye Qing outright, they wouldn’t have used such a despicable method.” Chen San said, ”Master said that no matter what, we should protect Ye Qing’s life. Even Bai Wenhao and those people wouldn’t dare to make an open move to kill Ye Qing. So right now, the priority is still to keep a close watch on the Ye brothers, so as not to give these people an opportunity. Besides, they’ve already poisoned Ye brothers once, they won’t make a move a second time. And I’m sure, even if they do make another move, they would at most use poison or something against the Ye brothers. But Ye brothers have the Holy Medicine for curing poison, so even if they use some poison, it wouldn’t harm Ye brothers in the slightest. As long as we get through tonight, when Master has time, we’ll ask him to make a move to save Ye brothers, that’s the most prudent approach!”

Huangfu Ziyu nodded, her mind was actually even more meticulous than Chen San’s, so everything Chen San said, she could quickly weigh the pros and cons. It’s just that, because she was worried about Ye Qing, she was too nervous, which almost led her to make a wrong judgment earlier.

”Ah!” Huangfu Ziyu sighed sadly and looked at Ye Qing lying on the bed. She said solemnly, ”I still don’t know who hurt him like this? In this situation, even if I want to protect him, it’s probably not easy. Tonight we’re going up Dragon Burial Mountain. By then, if he’s still unconscious, what if someone really makes a move on him?”

”If you’re really worried, you can take him up Dragon Burial Mountain with you!” Chen San said, ”As long as he’s by your side, no one would dare to openly come over and kill him!”

”Take him up the mountain?” Huangfu Ziyu paused, she hadn’t thought about this matter. Hearing Chen San say this now, she really began to consider it in her heart, taking Ye Qing up the mountain is indeed a good choice, at least it would keep Ye Qing safe.

”It’s not like we’re entering the inner layer of the Great Tomb, there aren’t so many concerns. Besides, Ye brothers’ Meridians are all severed, he has no Inner Strength at all, it poses no threat to us. Also, since he is still unconscious, even if we take him inside the Great Tomb, it wouldn’t affect anything.” Chen San said, ”So, taking him to Dragon Burial Mountain wouldn’t cause any trouble!”

”I’m just afraid those old guys will start grumbling again!” Huangfu Ziyu said.

”Let them babble on then.” Chen San said, ”Those old guys have been trying to bully us ever since our family began to decline. Even if we don’t take Ye Qing up there, wouldn’t they find another excuse to criticize us? Hmph, I’m too lazy to argue with them, let’s see what happens tonight, we’ll talk again after getting the Sun Shooting Bow!”

”Right, talk again after getting the Sun Shooting Bow!” Chen Si glanced at Huangfu Ziyu and said, ”Whether it’s your Huangfu Household or our Chen Family getting the Sun Shooting Bow, it’s much better than those other families getting it!”

Huangfu Ziyu looked at Chen San and Chen Si. She knew that by saying this, these two were actually trying to form an alliance with her. After all, among the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, the weakest were definitely their two families. The upheaval twenty years ago caused severe losses to their families, leaving only a few people. Although two other families were heavily affected in the same upheaval, they retained quite a few masters. So the weakest are the Huangfu Household and Chen Family, and they have also been the most bullied families.

Given the current situation, surely no one would take the Huangfu Household and Chen Family seriously. Therefore, the Chen Family can only seek to ally with the Huangfu Household. However, what effect their alliance would have is uncertain. Even when combined, these two families are still weaker than the weakest of the other families. Their excursion to Dragon Burial Mountain tonight is likely just to put up an appearance.

”I don’t care about anything right now, I just want him to get better!” Huangfu Ziyu gazed tenderly at Ye Qing; at this moment, it seemed like he was the only person in her eyes.

Chen San and Chen Si exchanged a glance, both sighed lightly, and Chen Si patted Huangfu Ziyu’s shoulder, whispering, ”Ye Qing is lucky and will surely be alright, don’t worry too much.”
