Chapter 273 – Ninety Percent, A Hundred Percen (2/2)

There were countless questions in his head. What was her relationship with Li Qingshan? Why did Qiu Haitang know her? However, when the words reached his mouth, he became afraid to ask. His mind had basically returned to that of a teenager who had fallen in love for the first time.

Qian Rongzhi suddenly stopped and smiled at him, which made his heart tremor. However, he heard her say, “I have something to do, so you should go back first, senior brother Wu!” Before he could respond, she had already turned around and left.

If any other woman treated him like that, he would definitely burst out with curses. However, he just stood where he was in a daze, actually unable to say anything. He just watched as she vanished into the darkness.

Qian Rongzhi raised her head. The lantern-lit Parlour of Clouds and Rain was reflected in her eyes. She had made up her mind. She had a ninety percent confidence in this gamble.

“You’re bold enough to return?” Qiu Haitang’s voice suddenly rang out from beside her ear.

Qian Rongzhi smiled. A hundred percent.

Under the guide of the voice, she advanced along the twisting and turning path. She did not run into anyone along the way. In the end, she arrived before a vermillion door, which she knocked on gently.

“Come in.” Qiu Haitang’s voice rang out from inside. The door opened automatically. There were a series of veils in the room, which drifted in the night wind. It seemed elusive and beautiful. Through the numerous veils was an enchanting figure, laying on a bed.

The door slammed shut. Qian Rongzhi glanced backwards before walking towards the veils.

Suddenly, the veils seemed to spring alive, wrapping around her like snakes.

She did not resist. Finally, she saw the figure behind the veils, but all she saw were a pair of mesmerising eyes. She was immediately thrown into a trance.

Qiu Haitang said to the dazed Qian Rongzhi, “Now, I’ll ask you a question, and you’ll give me the answer.”

“Yes,” Qian Rongzhi said numbly.

“Where did your Method of Clouds and Rain come from?”

“Wei Yingjie.”

“Just as I had expected. If it weren’t for the Vitality Devouring technique, how could you have cultivated so quickly with your talent?” Qiu Haitang snorted gently. She had sensed the changes with Qian Rongzhi right from the beginning.

However, her mind was preoccupied by Xiao An and her Aspect of Heavenly Fragrance and Beauty back then. She even confronted Li Qingshan for the sake of Xiao An. As a result, she did not lose her temper on the spot. Dealing with just Qian Rongzhi alone was easy anyway.

She was right.

“Who killed Wei Yingjie?”

“I did.”

Qiu Haitang’s face sank, “No one knows you’re here, right?”

“No one.”

“Then you can go die!” Her slender finger reached towards the top of Qian Rongzhi’s head viciously.

“Vice sect master Wei, you’re returned.” A female disciple bowed carefully in the Parlour of Clouds and Rain. Rarely had she ever seen the vice sect master with such a twisted expression.

Fortunately, Wei Zhongyuan completely ignored her and rushed past her. She sighed in relief. However, in the blink of an eye, Wei Zhongyuan appeared before her once again. He grabbed her shoulder. “Where’s sect master Qiu?”

Receiving the answer to the question, Wei Zhongyuan tossed her aside and went to find Qiu Haitang alone.

When Wei Zhongyuan lost track of Li Qingshan in Jiaping city and had flown into a rage, a trusted disciple of his contacted him through a high level Communication talisman. He told him, “Li Qingshan has come.”

He rushed back to Clear River city through the night. As soon as he returned to the Parlour of Clouds and Rain, he learned everything that had happened from his disciple. Not only had Li Qingshan appeared in the Parlour of Clouds and Rain, but he had even won a Virtue Accumulation pill and several thousand spiritual stones in a haughty manner. How could he accept this? He immediately flew into a rage.

The Sect of Parlour and Clouds had never been walked over by others like this, nor had he, Wei Zhongyuan, ever been toyed with like this either!

He basically barged into where Qiu Haitang cultivated. Only when he met Qiu Haitang’s gaze of displeasure did he suddenly recall his identity. He bowed, “Greetings, sect master. If I’ve been rude. I hope that the sect master can forgive me.”

Although sect master and vice sect master only differed by a single word, they were worlds apart. Only a single layer separated Foundation Establishment and the tenth layer, but it was a chasm.

“It’s so late already. What brought you here?” Qiu Haitang asked coldly.

Wei Zhongyuan fumed, “Li Qingshan behaved so brazenly, and he is definitely connected to Yingjie’s death. He’s a sworn enemy of our Sect of Clouds and Rain. Are you really going to let him go because of that Hua person, sect master?”

Qiu Haitang said, “The Hua person you speak of is a Scarlet Wolf commander. We’ve already irritated him when I let you go ahead with that last time. I’ve gambled on this and lost, so don’t say anything more. I’m weary.”

Wei Zhongyuan’s thoughts immediately coldened. He gritted his teeth. “If that’s the case, then I’ll show myself out first.” In the end, he studied Qiu Haitang viciously. His gaze revealed lust and greed. Once I reach Foundation Establishment, I’ll show you what’s what. As for Li Qingshan, he would neve spare him.
