The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"This stage is too low, but it's beyond their eyes."

Qing'er frowned slightly, feeling that her master's words made no sense and were just trying to please her. She turned her head and saw that Li Qing was carefully looking at the thin book on the table.

The book was printed very crudely, but it is the most sought-after book in Lin'an City recently.

The book detailed who had the dragon bone, how that person killed the eldest son of Baijie Sect, how he tortured him, and even marked that person's residence.

Qing'er was puzzled. It happened that the curtain call had just ended and there was no more show to watch, so she sat back in front of the window and asked Li Qing.

"Master, you have read this booklet over and over again. Is that person so powerful that you take him so seriously?"

Hearing this, Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly closed the book, and spoke softly to Qing'er.

"I recognize this person, Qingcheng Shigu."

"This person is extremely famous in the martial arts world, but his strength is average. However, if he wants to escape, no one can stop him."

“This is a bit of a headache.”

As he spoke, Li Qing put his hand on his forehead, gently rubbed his temples, and smiled bitterly.

"If we fight, I will never lose, but if he wants to leave, I probably won't be able to stop him."

Qing'er blinked her eyes, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in joy.

"I remember now. Qingcheng Shigu is the most notorious thief in the martial arts world. He is lustful and shameless, and has many enemies."

"Master, if we spread the news that he is here, won't many people come to help us?"

Hearing this, Li Qing sighed, reached out his hand, gently pinched Qing'er's nose, and said helplessly.

"Silly girl, he has too many enemies. If the news of his being here really gets out, then the people who come here will not be acceptable to us."

"Let's not talk about other things. Just talking about the ninth-grade martial arts masters in his enemy's family, there are so many of them that it's frightening."

"They don't necessarily care about dragon bones, but if they really come, they will definitely not mind getting a piece of dragon bones when they kill Shi Gu."

"So, we must not let the news that Shi Gu is here leak out."

Hearing this, Qing'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said.

"This person is really difficult to deal with, just like the food you cook, not only is it unpalatable, but we have to eat it."

Li Qing smiled when he heard that, reached out and pinched Qing'er's nose again, and said with a smile.

"Girl, is the food cooked by the chef really that bad?"

Qing'er's nose was pinched and she turned with Li Qing's palm, but she refused to admit defeat and said.

"Master, even Ah Huang at the entrance of the village wouldn't eat the food you cooked, but you forced me to eat it. In the end, I still had to cook it... Ouch, it hurts."

Hearing Qing'er's cry of pain, Li Qing loosened his fingers and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, you are really good. You are much better than the master."

Qing'er chuckled, jumped to Li Qing's side, and rubbed her shoulders in a flattering manner.

"Master is much more powerful than Qing'er. Didn't you raise Qing'er?"

While chatting and laughing, Li Qing grabbed the book with her right hand and narrowed her eyes slightly. A tongue of fire emerged from her palm and wrapped around the pages of the book. Her eyes were dim and she spoke slowly.

"Fortunately, he is a bad guy, so it's not a pity to kill him."

Especially since that person is a friend of his brother, it was perfect for him.

The flames flickered, rolled up the pages of the book, and quickly wrapped them up. Li Qing grabbed the flame, but seemed unable to feel the temperature of the flame and remained motionless.

The smoke and dust scattered, and bits of ashes fell between her fingers, but slid down.

"Master, when are we going to look for that person?"

Li Qing waved her hand gently, and the book turned into ashes and fell to the ground. She picked up the teacup, drank the tea that had already gone cold, and said lightly.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'It's better to do it today than to wait for the day.'"

"Looks like it's today."

After saying that, Li Qing slowly stood up and walked away. Seeing this, Qing'er was about to follow him, but Li Qing gently waved his hand, and a stream of water like a palm pulled Qing'er.

"master?"

Qing'er was puzzled and called out to Li Qing, but Li Qing had already walked to the door. She turned around, stood outside the door, and smiled gently at Qing'er.

"You don't have to go on such a dangerous journey."

"Make a pot of hot tea. I'll be back in a minute."

After saying that, Li Qing closed the door, turned around and left.

Chapter 89: Hundred Flowers (II)

Seven years ago, Li Qing had seen Shi Gu from afar. It was a rare event in the martial arts world.

All the top nine masters in the martial arts world gathered together, with the major forces sitting on both sides. The Demon Cult, the Yulin Alliance, these behemoths came out in full force. It was a huge crowd, but it was as quiet as a cemetery.

The situation was tense and turbulent. She had no right to stand in the front, and her annoying brother had no right to stand in the front either. He could only watch from afar.

But Shi Gu came uninvited, walked to the front, greeted and joked with those important figures, which attracted everyone's angry glares.

Li Qing looked at Shi Gu who was in the middle of the crowd. He felt that his cheerful and cheerful appearance was a bit ridiculous.

Why can that despicable and shameless villain who can only run away stand in such a high position, while she can only watch from afar, like an unnoticed stone on the roadside.

That event had only one purpose, to surround and kill this devil in the universe. It brought together all the famous masters in the martial arts world, as well as many innate old monsters who were hiding in the dark, waiting to make a move.

At that time, everyone was full of confidence and felt that the devil would not escape death.

However, when it really started, the killing calamities from all heavens swept through the canyon without even a glance at those people, only a murderous aura descended.

The murderous aura was like the sea, spreading across the entire world. The terrifying pressure dragged everyone into hell. No one drew their swords, and no one even dared to breathe, and they were silent as a cicada.

That grand event turned into an extremely ridiculous and shameful insult. After that day, no one mentioned the event again.

Li Qing remembered the God-like Zhu Tian Jie Sha that passed through the sky, and Shi Gu who had a mocking look on his face.

In life, one of these two people will always be killed.

Li Qing thought so, so she crossed the long street, stopped in front of the courtyard gate, stretched out her white hand, and knocked on the door gently.

Boom, boom, boom.

The gate opened in response, and inside the door was a beautiful girl with picturesque eyes and eyebrows. She was in high spirits and seemed to be very happy.

Li Qing was slightly stunned. That booklet had never been written before. There were other people around Shi Gu. That person was indeed as lustful and shameless as the rumors said.

"Master, someone is coming."

The girl inside the door was naturally Shen Yue. Although her temperament was not as cold as it was at the beginning, she would always think of being polite first when receiving strangers.

Shi Gu was lying on the bench. Hearing this, he waved his hand gently and spoke lazily.

"It should be looking for me, let her in."

Shen Yue did not suspect anything and smiled gently at Li Qing, then turned sideways to make way for Li Qing. Li Qing walked into the yard and saw Su Xue practicing with the sword, and also saw the cute little girl sitting next to Shi Gu.

This man is indeed extremely licentious and does not even spare such a young child.

Li Qing didn't notice that the little girl became flustered when she saw her, and her eyes never left Shi Gu after they fell on him.

The door is exposed, there are no weapons, no murderous intent, and it is full of flaws. If we take action now, we may be able to kill him before he has a chance to escape.

However, Li Qing did not make a move. She did not have the confidence to kill him with one blow. Even though she despised this shameless man in her heart, she still remembered how Shi Gu stood among those big shots, chatting and laughing.

Shi Gu was also looking at Li Qing. Li Qing had a delicate face, a free and elegant demeanor, and light eyebrows, which made him look a little cold. He lowered his gaze to look at Li Qing's legs, raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Li Qing walked to ten steps away from Shigu, which was just the distance where she could exert her power. Shen Yue very enthusiastically brought a chair over. Li Qing did not refuse and sat down directly.

"Give me the dragon bone."

Without any greetings or useless nonsense, Li Qing sat down and directly said what he was thinking.

Crisp and neat.

Shi Gu was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Li Ran who was a little anxious beside him, and thought.

You, my sister, are much more straightforward than my brother.

"Give me the dragon bone, and it will save you a lot of trouble."

Li Qing spoke again, his voice was cold, but it sounded like an order, which left no room for doubt and was unpleasant.

Shi Gu sat up slightly, looked at Li Qing for a few times, then suddenly smiled and said.

"Baihua Li Qing, I remember that your ranking on the Earth Ranking is much higher than mine. Why don't you just do it directly? This way you can save more trouble."

Li Qing pinched the petals with his fingers, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly.

"I can defeat you, but I can't catch you. If there is a chance to talk, I don't want to kill you."

"You are already at the eighth level of martial arts, and you haven't been able to break through in all these years. Plus, you probably won't have a chance with Dragon Bone. Being too greedy will only hurt you."

"Besides, when Yu Di Scholar and Feng Dao Shan Jian arrive, it will be difficult for you to escape. It would be better for you to give the dragon bone to me so that you can save your life."

Hearing this, Shi Gu thought about it, then leaned forward slightly and asked.

“Do you play mahjong?”

Li Qing was stunned when she heard this, not knowing why Shi Gu suddenly asked this question, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"Yes, but I have never played it. I have only watched others play it."

Shi Gu smiled when he heard this, stood up and said.

"Would you like to play a game of mahjong?"

"If you win, the dragon bone will be yours. If you lose, you can go back today."

Li Qing frowned, a little displeased, and also stood up, clenched the petals in his hand, and said.

"How can you be so frivolous? This is too much."

Shi Gu brushed off the sand and dirt on his body and said nonchalantly.

"What are you afraid of? If you lose, you just lost your chance today. You can always try again tomorrow."

Li Qing's eyes turned cold. Dragon bones are hard to come by, so how could they be used as a bet so easily? The person in front of her was definitely playing a trick on her.

As soon as she thought of this, Li Qing's mind moved, and she suddenly stepped forward. She clenched her right hand, and countless petals fell from her sleeves and flew around the pillar, like a long sword.

Suddenly the wind started to blow, and Li Qing appeared like a ray of light in an instant, with his flower sword breaking through the air, bringing up a sharp edge.

Shi Gu's eyebrows moved, his palm flipped, and his body slightly tilted. At the moment when the flower sword fell, he avoided the sword and pointed his finger like a knife at Li Qing's forehead.

Li Qing's face changed slightly, and the flower sword suddenly dispersed. However, under the flower sword, there was a stream of water, which suddenly split like countless flying knives and fell towards Shi Gu.

Shi Gu's eyes flashed, but he moved closer, ignoring the incoming water knife, and pointed his finger at Li Qing's brow.

As long as I am faster than you, you will be the first to die.

As long as you die first, I can live.

Such a simple truth seems a bit unreasonable at this moment.

Li Qing retreated quickly, and her body suddenly turned into a flash of fire, appearing a hundred steps away, shaking off Shi Gu. However, as soon as she landed, two fingers pointed at her forehead.

It follows you like a shadow and you can't get rid of it.

Li Qing's face turned pale, and when the finger was about to fall on his forehead, he suddenly shouted.

"rise!"

In an instant, a circular water ring came out of her mouth. The water ring was extremely thin, thinner than the sword body. As it spun rapidly, it became sharper than most sword blades in the world.

Shi Gu's heart skipped a beat, his figure suddenly disappeared, and returned to his original place, looking at Li Qing with some surprise.

Li Qing was breathing heavily. The circular water blade was hanging beside him, spinning rapidly.

"interesting."

Shi Gu touched his sleeve and found that the cuff had been cut off in half. If he had been slower, his entire wrist would have been cut off.

Li Qing looked solemn. She stretched out her hand and waved it. The circular water blade moved to her side. She exhaled and said coldly.

"I admit, I underestimated you."

"But let's stop here."
