Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Roaming the World with a Sword (22)
The Chiyang Sect is represented by Liang Xuan and they have come to inquire about Jun Bugu.
Previously, Gao Qi and Gao Yong, the brothers, had quite a bit of this poison in their possession. They didn’t know where it came from, but they might know how to undo its effects.
As for Han Qiqi, Chuzheng suddenly disappeared on the ship at that time.
The sea was vast and they couldn’t find her, so they eventually decided to head to Seven Star Island first.
As fate would have it, they ran into Liang Xuan and his group, so they ended up arriving on the island together.
Liang Xuan had matters to discuss and went to meet Gao Qi.
Han Qiqi didn’t mention what she was there for, only saying that she had heard Seven Star Island had beautiful scenery and came to take a look.
So Han Qiqi, her maid, and the Villain A who had been left behind by Chuzheng, were escorted by Gao Yong to the guest house.
Gao Yong kept glancing at her.
Han Qiqi had an exquisitely curvy figure, absolutely considered alluring, and her graceful steps made her even more enticing.
Han Qiqi was completely indifferent to Gao Yong’s suggestive gazes.
Gao Yong chuckled twice, “Miss Han came down from Tianshan, one would think her medical skills are remarkable?”
Han Qiqi’s charming face carried a smile, “Remarkable medical skills might be an exaggeration, but I can treat minor ailments.”
Despite the seemingly modest words, Han Qiqi was actually not modest at all.
Gao Yong was enthralled by Han Qiqi’s beauty and said, “It’s quite fortunate indeed, I’ve been feeling unwell lately, I wonder if Miss Han could assist in checking?”
Han Qiqi didn’t agree immediately but instead asked, “I heard Qiu Yuehe is here?”
Gao Yong’s expression changed instantly, then he smiled again, “Qiu Yuehe, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, why would he come to our small remote island?”
Even if Qiu Yuehe didn’t instruct him, Gao Yong wouldn’t speak recklessly.
Qiu Yuehe is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. There wasn’t a good reputation for them in the martial world in the past, and suddenly Qiu Yuehe came here, how could that be easily explained?
Gao Yong knew these balances in his heart all too well.
“Where did Miss Han hear such false news?”
Han Qiqi slightly furrowed her brows.
Qiu Yuehe isn’t here?
Impossible, when she arrived just now, she clearly saw a ship outside that was different from the island’s, surely someone from outside had docked.
Why would Qiu Yuehe want to conceal his presence here?
“Ah, it’s false.” Han Qiqi deflected, “Liang Xuan told me that.”
Gao Yong’s eyes squinted slightly, Liang Xuan…
The Chiyang Sect young man who just arrived on the island.
Han Qiqi charmingly said, “Didn’t Hero Gao say he wasn’t feeling well? Let me have a look for you, sir?”
Gao Yong was utterly enchanted by her address, forgetting everything else.
“Ah, very well, it’s an honor, young lady.”
–
Chuzheng wasn’t noticed by the people of Seven Star Island, and disembarked from a secluded place.
“Be careful.”
Chuzheng reached out to support Ming Xian, and though he was thinking about something else, he didn’t resist her, letting her assist him forward.
But as they walked, Ming Xian realized Chuzheng’s hand had reached his waist.
The latter seemed quite earnest, as if truly just supporting him.
Ming Xian glanced down, eventually resigning with a sigh and letting her be.
Seven Star Island’s terrain was somewhat complex, and since Chuzheng and Ming Xian didn’t approach from the usual route, they walked a fair distance before seeing buildings.
With the terrain leveling out, Chuzheng released Ming Xian, opting to hold his hand instead.
Ming Xian struggled, yet Chuzheng held tighter.
Ming Xian: “…”
Though he had countless methods to make her let go, it all only ended in a long sigh.
He couldn’t bring himself to injure her.
“Is grandmother’s hand something you can hold? Huh? Where are you looking?”
Chuzheng and Ming Xian stopped simultaneously.
A distance away, a man was hanging from a tree, with a Lady in Blue Clothes standing below him, while someone else watched from nearby.
Han Qiqi already noticed Chuzheng and Ming Xian, and immediately abandoned her new toy, leaping quickly to their side.
Han Qiqi’s expression was astonished yet wistful, “You’re not dead yet.”
Chuzheng’s face remained indifferent, “Not dead. Disappointing for you!”
Han Qiqi’s gaze fell on their intertwined hands, suddenly smiling radiantly, “Hmm, the Great Demon Head is going to blossom.”
Chuzheng glanced at Ming Xian, puzzling over what was meant by blossom.
Ming Xian felt uncomfortable being stared at, pulled back his hand, surprisingly successful this time.
The warmth on his fingers dissipated, leaving Ming Xian inexplicably forlorn.
He swiftly retracted his hand, clutching his sword, stepping aside as if distancing himself from Chuzheng.
“Who’s that?” Chuzheng asked, looking at the man Han Qiqi had hung up.
“Gao Yong, the Second Island Master of Seven Star Island.” Han Qiqi bit onto a stalk of grass carelessly, “Men aren’t good for anything.”
Han Qiqi spoke unabashedly in front of Ming Xian.
Ming Xian was inexplicably caught in the criticism, and glanced towards Gao Yong, triggering a flood of fragmented memories.
This man…
He left a profound impression on Ming Xian.
A surge of murderous intent brimmed in Ming Xian’s eyes.
Before Chuzheng or Han Qiqi could react, Ming Xian had already moved towards them.
His sword unsheathed, aiming straight for Gao Yong’s life spot.
Just as Ming Xian’s sword was about to stab Gao Yong, he was suddenly pulled back.
Almost entirely consumed by hatred and anger, Ming Xian didn’t even notice who had stopped him, retaliating with a swing of his sword.
Chuzheng hadn’t expected Ming Xian to actually strike, failing to halt in time, as the sharp blade slashed across her arm, blood soaking her moon-white garment instantly.
Perhaps the sight of blood shocked Ming Xian, he abruptly snapped into awareness.
Chuzheng clutched her arm, standing a meter away from him.
The sword in Ming Xian’s hand loosened and dropped to the ground with a clang, as he took quick steps forward, his eyes filled with regret and concern, gently supporting Chuzheng’s shoulder, “Why didn’t you dodge?”
“…”
If I had known you would swing, I would have dodged!
I’m not stupid!
“Let me take a look.” Ming Xian reached out to remove Chuzheng’s clothes, but hesitated as he recalled the difference between sexes, not as indifferent as Chuzheng.
Dragging Han Qiqi, who was watching the scene nearby, over in his somber severity, “Stop her bleeding.”
Han Qiqi: “…”
Ming Xian turned to leave, but Chuzheng grabbed him back.
Ming Xian had to stop, facing away from her, still holding her hand so Han Qiqi could apply the bandage.
Han Qiqi rolled up the sleeve, checking the wound, it wasn’t severe, but had bled quite a bit, looking frightening.
Han Qiqi whispered to her, “That Great Demon Head seems to really care about you, huh? How did you subdue him?”
She assumed the Great Demon Head would emit a terrifying aura of ‘look at me and I’ll kill your entire family’.
But Ming Xian, this Great Demon Head…
How should it be put… he had an uncomfortable aura and occasionally a somber vibe that flowed.
But most of the time, he was relatively quiet.
And now, this Great Demon Head was hardly recognizable as one.
How did you subdue him?
Chuzheng pondered briefly, “Kiss him?”
Han Qiqi: “??”
Ming Xian: “…” I can hear you!
–
Chuzheng let her sleeve fall, Ming Xian turned towards it, gazing at the blood-stained sleeve, “Does it hurt?”
“No.” Chuzheng’s expression didn’t change at all, “Before we came ashore, what did I say to you?”
Having injured Chuzheng just now, Ming Xian heard her question and felt inexplicably guilty, his voice subdued.
“Don’t act recklessly.”
