Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Roaming the World with a Sword (24)
"Qiu Yuehe was involved?"
Chuzheng observed Gao Yong’s reaction and came to a conclusion.
"Wait a minute." Han Qiqi hadn’t quite understood, conspiracy, extermination of entire families, Qiu Yuehe was involved too? But he is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, how could he do such things?
Han Qiqi, although not fond of this father, knew the reputation of Qiu Yuehe in the martial world was quite high.
A leader of the righteous path, a symbol of justice.
Now she actually heard such a statement.
Han Qiqi directly asked, "What are you saying? What did Qiu Yuehe do?"
No matter what, Qiu Yuehe bore the title of her father.
Han Qiqi couldn’t remain indifferent.
Chuzheng kicked Gao Yong aside, her tone cold: "You should ask him." Specifically what he did, I am also confused; the Good Person Card refuses to elaborate.
Han Qiqi’s expression changed several times, and she pulled Gao Yong up: "What did Qiu Yuehe do with you guys?"
Gao Yong suddenly realized he misspoke, and denied out loud: "Qiu Yuehe, the dignified Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, how could he do anything with us? If you’re looking for Qiu Yuehe, you should go to the Alliance Leader’s Residence, not come to my Seven Star Island! There is no Qiu Yuehe here!"
Han Qiqi tossed Gao Yong aside and kicked him.
Gao Yong’s whole face almost deformed, his pupils filled with blood tears.
Pain...
So much pain...
After kicking, Han Qiqi looked at Chuzheng: "Maybe you’re mistaken, Qiu Yuehe may be a bastard, but he has managed the martial world affairs methodically over the years as alliance hierarch, and people in the martial world respect him greatly."
"What you see may not necessarily be the truth." Chuzheng’s gaze was serene: "You must have heard about the Yang Residence in Liuzhou City, right?"
Han Qiqi had disappeared after entering Liuzhou City, but during that time, she indeed stayed there.
"I know..."
"Qiu Yuehe sent people to deal with that matter."
"Impossible, the people of the Yang Residence only disappeared." Han Qiqi reflexively rebutted: "He..."
Han Qiqi wanted to say a few words for Qiu Yuehe, but the memories about him in her mind seemed...not so good.
He didn’t visit when her mother was seriously ill.
She left home for several years and received only a few formal-sounding letters from him.
After she returned from learning arts, instead of asking how she was outside, he started meddling in her affairs.
But he...
He is still her father.
"Give him this."
Han Qiqi suddenly handed Chuzheng a pill.
She wanted to know what kind of a man he really was.
Perhaps Chuzheng was wrong.
Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
Or maybe...
"What is this?"
"A truth serum," Han Qiqi explained.
-
Qixing Zhai.
Gao Qi lived here, and Qiu Yuehe was also here at this moment.
Qiu Yuehe paced back and forth in the room, not showing it on his face but feeling restless and anxious inside.
He hadn’t expected so many to come suddenly, disrupting his plans.
Originally thinking this trip wouldn’t be too troublesome, he didn’t foresee such upheavals. The few from the Chiyang Sect he didn’t worry about, but Han Qiqi posed a tough challenge...
Gao Qi returned from outside, and immediately Qiu Yuehe asked, "When are they leaving?"
Gao Qi replied, "They came for Jun Bugu’s antidote. I don’t have any antidote, and they wouldn’t listen to me. Almost led to a fight."
Liang Xuan and his group are also troublesome.
They clung to some rumors, insisting he had the antidote but was unwilling to hand it over.
Qiu Yuehe asked, "Where is Han Qiqi?"
"She’s with my second brother."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuehe suddenly got angry: "Go fetch Gao Yong!"
Gao Qi was puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
"Han Qiqi cannot be harmed; she’s my daughter!" Qiu Yuehe gritted his teeth: "Go get Gao Yong back!"
Qiu Yuehe was quite aware of what kind of person Gao Yong was.
Gao Qi realized afterward that Qiu Yuehe had an elder daughter, but heard she was sent away to learn arts at a young age...
Gao Qi quickly sent someone to fetch him.
"Brother Qiu, about what you mentioned earlier..."
Qiu Yuehe sat on a chair: "When you cleaned up afterward, was there any oversight?"
"No...we counted several times, not a single one missed." Gao Qi said: "Both Gao Yong and I counted personally, there’s absolutely no oversight."
Qiu Yuehe asked, "Are you sure they are all dead?"
Gao Qi was very certain: "Absolutely, we set fire to the place and only retreated after watching it burn clean."
Qiu Yuehe was not present at the time, unaware of the situation.
The Ming Xian outside now, Qiu Yuehe also wasn’t sure about his identity.
"Ah——"
"Second Island Master!"
A sudden shout broke the silence.
The sound startled everyone on the island, whether they were servants or Liang Xuan and his group, they all headed towards where the noise came from.
It was the island’s martial practice field.
Gao Yong was suspended in the middle of the field, with his limbs tied to the back, faced down, like a piece of meat hung up.
"Gao Yong!"
Gao Qi used his lightfoot skills to descend onto the practice field, heading directly toward Gao Yong to try and get him down.
As he approached, suddenly a line appeared in front of him; silver light flashed under his eyes.
Gao Qi halted abruptly.
The silver thread hung right before his eyes, his uplifted hair uniformly severed, fluttering to the ground.
If he hadn’t stopped in time, it would likely have been his head that fell.
Gao Qi took a deep breath, his entire body tense, retreating cautiously while shouting into the void: "Who!!"
-
Liang Xuan and the others arrived a step later, pausing in unison upon seeing the person hung up in the martial practice field.
"What’s going on?"
"Isn’t that Gao Yong? Why is he hung up there..."
Nobody understood what happened, whispering among themselves, not daring to step forward.
"Senior Brother." Zhao Fu jogged over: "What happened?"
"Not sure, everyone be careful." Liang Xuan cautioned his fellow disciples behind him.
"Look, someone is coming."
Suddenly, someone pointed towards the east of the practice field, where someone was slowly approaching.
Zhao Fu was the first to recognize: "It’s her!"
The others soon recognized her too: "That woman from the Brahman Immortal Sect! Why is she here...and those two people following Han Qiqi earlier, aren’t they the same two previously with her?"
With that, everyone’s expressions turned rather odd.
No one saw her when they arrived on the island...where did she pop out from? Had she been hiding on the ship the whole time?
Chuzheng stepped onto the martial practice field slowly, standing at the edge, her cold eyes sweeping over to the person in the middle: "Master Gao."
"Who are you?" Gao Qi didn’t recognize her, watching her warily but still managing to keep calm: "Did you tie up Gao Yong?"
"I did." Chuzheng openly admitted.
"What do you want to do!?" Gao Qi didn’t understand what those lines were, dared not move rashly, and tried to probe her instead.
"I want to ask you something." Chuzheng’s tone was indifferent.
"Asking something... do you need to do this to ask?" Gao Qi pointed to his obliviously dangling brother.
