Chapter 463: Unable to Differentiate Between Good and Bad
“Wow, Miss Ling, how did you know?” Jiang Wuhen’s eyes shimmered as he asked this question. He felt as though he had met a bosom buddy. He was so excited that he was about to pull out the cloth banner in question to display it.
“Would you believe me if I tell you I will beat you up if you pull out another cloth banner?” said Ling Chuxi coldly.
“I believe! I believe!” blurted Jiang Wuhen, immediately retracting his hand from the cloth banner and scooted aside.
The chill of the night was very pressing, but the bonfire they set up by the side of their makeshift campsite was warm and comfortable.
“Delicious, delicious. Miss Chu, I am not sure how you roasted the meat to make it taste so good. Could you teach me? I have wandered around so I have tasted all kinds of delicacies? Yet I have never tasted such wonderful and delectable roasted meat.” Jiang Wuhen started to chirp away again as he sat in front of the bonfire enjoying roasted meat.
“Just eat quickly.” Ling Chuxi did not wish to talk nonsense with Jiang Wuhen. If she really were to tell him, she reckoned that there would be another addition to his collection of cloth banners featuring large words reading, ‘Number One Chef In The World, North-South Style Roast, Fry, Stew And Barbeque’. Who knows, he might even add on words like, ‘Also Capable Of Organizing Red And White Happy Matters’.
After having dinner, Ling Chuxi went to the carriage to rest. Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen also went to rest in a tent they set up.
In the vastness of night, the forest also slowly quietened down and in the dark, a few figures in black quietly approached.
The figures in black listened carefully and heard the even breathing sounds coming from the carriage and the tent. They surmised that people within the campsite seemed to be in deep sleep.
The figures in black exchanged glances and slowly drew their swords. In the firelight, a sword moved with a silver gleam looking like a poisonous snake maneuvering through the trees. The figures in black suddenly moved forward and pierced their swords in the direction of the carriage and tent respectively.
‘Thud’ There was a muffled sound, then the person who was attacking the carriage was sent flying. Just like a kite with a broken string, the person flailed around in mid-air before falling heavily onto the ground.
Immediately after that, Ling Yichen’s upright figure emerged from the tent. The blade of his sword sent out a crisp ring as he unsheathed it and it gleamed brightly as it pierced towards the other two figures in black nearby. Amidst the crisp ringing sounds, the two figures in black were sent retreating backwards by a strong wave of Battle Qi.
Ling Chuxi got out of the carriage and stood beside Ling Yichen, glaring at the four uninvited guests before them. Jiang Wuhen had also woken up in shock. Seeing the situation outside, he hid behind the two Lings.
“Young people, your cultivation skills are not bad,” said an old man who was looking at them gloomily. The figures in black were none other than Elder Qiu and his party of men who had followed them into the forest initially.
“We have never seemed to have met any of you before and I don’t think we have ever offended any of you either,” said Ling Chuxi, secretly shocked at this turn of events. Although she and Ling Yichen had attacked in haste, no matter what, their cultivation was still in the realm of Great Fulfilment. However, the figures in black they had attacked had only been lightly wounded and did not even have any worries about their lives. Their cultivation was not weak. As for this old man, his voice was mighty and oppressive. If she was not wrong, his cultivation level should also be in the Realm of Great Fulfilment and he was absolutely not weaker than them.
“I am Qiu Rongcheng, an elder from Life Transformation Hall,” said Elder Qiu.
“Never heard of it. Why do you want to kill us?” asked Ling Chuxi bluntly.
“You are headed to Rejuvenation Valley, am I right? I advise you all to go back home in order to avoid courting disaster and blindly losing your lives,” said Elder Qiu threateningly.
Seems like Jiang Wuhen really did not lie this time. This was indeed the path to Rejuvenation Valley.
“My apologies. I have a very important matter which requires me to go there,” replied Ling Chuxi.
“Then, don’t blame me for not giving you leeway,” said Elder Qiu as a chilling gleam appeared in his eyes.
“It didn’t seem like you were giving any leeway earlier on anyway,” said Ling Chuxi mockingly with a sneer. For the sake of Second Elder, she would not retreat regardless of whoever it was who stood in her way.
“You’re unable to differentiate between good and bad,” surmised Elder Qiu when he saw the determination in Ling Chuxi’s eyes. Then, a murderous intent appeared in his. With a shift of his foot, he pierced his sword towards Ling Chuxi. Another three of his men also moved at the same time, enclosing Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Jiang Wuhen from different directions at the same time.
