Chapter 76: Who are you?
Chapter 76: Who are you?
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at a sunny spot. Qian Jin noticed that the love flowers here had bloomed early and most of them had already borne fruit.
However, the fruits are either green or red, and look like caterpillars, which is quite unsightly.
So I couldn't help but say:
"I never imagined that this love flower, so beautiful, would bear such ugly fruit."
Gongsun Lü'e nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Yes, these fruits are not only ugly, but also extremely unpalatable. Some are sour, some are bitter, and some even smell bad, so no one in the valley would eat them."
"That's the bitter fruit! The flower of love bearing bitter fruit, that's quite interesting."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e said:
"So you're also saying that, like love, after the flowers bloom, it will eventually bear bitter fruit?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:
"If that's the case, then at least one of these bitter fruits should be sweet, so that it's worth pursuing."
Gongsun Lü'e blinked upon hearing this and exclaimed in surprise:
"Young Master Qian, you were absolutely right."
Among these bitter fruits, there are indeed some as sweet as honey, but you can't tell from their appearance alone; you can only know their taste after you've tasted them yourself.
Gongsun Lü'e's complexion, glowing with a rosy hue in the sunlight, exuded a refined and ethereal quality as she spoke, leaving Qian Jin somewhat mesmerized.
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Lü'e blushed and said:
"Young Master Qian, what are you looking at?"
"I was thinking that Miss Gongsun looks so beautiful when she smiles; it would be such a pity if she always had a serious face."
Qian Jin's words seemed to touch a raw nerve for Gongsun Lü'e, causing her eyes to redden slightly as she softly said:
"It's not that I don't want to laugh, it's that I can't laugh."
So when you see my father later, you absolutely mustn't say that I smiled at you, and definitely don't say that we know each other, otherwise he'll punish me again.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin glared and said:
"What kind of logic is this? To forbid even one's own daughter from laughing? That's going too far!"
Gongsun Lü'e was already somewhat saddened, and now, hearing Qian Jin speak up for her so passionately, tears immediately streamed down her face uncontrollably.
When I was very young, my father actually loved me very much.
However, ever since my mother died when I was six years old, my father has become increasingly strict with me and would punish me at the drop of a hat.
Now he's marrying a new mother, and I wonder how he'll treat me in the future!
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"Your father is getting on in years, and he's still thinking about remarrying. That's really not right of him."
I see you don't want your father to find you a new mother, so why don't I sabotage their wedding later? That way you won't have to worry about a new mother anymore.
"what!"
Gongsun Lü'e was startled upon hearing this and quickly said:
"Young Master Qian, you must not speak carelessly. If others hear this, your father will surely make things difficult for you."
His martial arts are formidable, and with the formation set up by his senior brothers, you definitely won't be able to escape.
Seeing that Gongsun Lü'e's tears were still wet, Qian Jin began to worry about him. He immediately reached out and gently wiped away her tears, whispering:
"Miss Gongsun, I don't need to run away at all. Even if your father is powerful, he definitely can't beat me."
This was the first time Gongsun Lü'e had been so close to a man, and she was already blushing with embarrassment. She didn't care what Qian Jin was saying.
He quickly turned and ran away, but after taking only two steps, he turned back to Qian Jin and said:
"Go back quickly, and remember not to mention that you spoke to me, otherwise my father will be unhappy again."
Seeing that Gongsun Lü'e had run far away, Qian Jin turned around and went back to the stone house.
Upon entering, Lu Wushuang saw Xiaolongnu and the others gathered together. Seeing Qian Jin, she immediately said:
"Brother Qian, where did you go so early in the morning? If you don't come back soon, we're going to go out and look for you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"The scenery in this Valley of Heartbreak is so beautiful that I couldn't resist going out for a stroll."
On the way, I met the daughter of the Valley Master of Heartbreak. I told her, "Your father is so old, yet he still wants to find you a stepmother. He's really shameless."
So in a minute, I'm going to ruin his wedding and make him work for nothing."
The women, naturally disbelieving, immediately said:
"Then tell us, what does the daughter of the Valley Master of Heartless Valley look like?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"The daughter of the Valley Master of Heartbreak is naturally extremely beautiful. When she heard that I wanted to help stop her father's wedding, she was extremely grateful to me."
"Really? Did she say she wanted to repay him with her body?"
"No, not at all."
Hong Lingbo was deeply moved when she saw that Qian Jin had even fabricated the story of the daughter of the Valley Master of Heartbreak.
She knew that Qian Jin was saying this to make her think that the other party stopped the wedding of the Valley Master of Heartbreak not to save her master, but because of the Valley Master of Heartbreak's daughter.
That way, she won't have so many burdens.
"Brother Qian, thank you."
"Um???"
As everyone was talking, a man in green came and knocked on the door, saying:
"Distinguished guests, the Valley Master invites you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin and the others immediately followed the man in green toward the back mountain. They hadn't gone far when they ran into the Golden Wheel Monk and his entourage.
Upon seeing Qian Jin, the Golden Wheel Monk immediately greeted him warmly, saying:
"Brother Qian, did you sleep well last night?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin returned the greeting and said:
"It's alright, it's just that the host here was a bit rude. With so many of us, they only arranged a guest room for us."
"And we've been here for so long, yet no one has come out to greet us. Although they keep calling us honored guests, they don't really treat us like that."
The Golden Wheel Monk, Xiao Xiangzi, and others held extremely high positions in Mongolia, yet they had been consistently neglected in this Valley of Heartbreak, which had long fueled their resentment.
It's just that no one has said it to my face.
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, they all nodded in agreement.
Yin Kexi moved closer to Qian Jin and said:
"Brother Qian is absolutely right. The host here is indeed rude, but I think he's quite kind to you. Arranging for you and so many beautiful female disciples to sleep in the same guest room is a wonderful thing, isn't it?"
Hearing Yin Kexi's lewd words, Qian Jin glanced at him and said:
Who are you?
Yin Kexi never expected that Qian Jin would be so ungrateful. Hearing this, he was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
When Xiao Xiangzi, Nemo Xing, and the others saw Yin Kexi get the short end of the stick, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing, Xiao Xiangzi said to Qian Jin:
"Brother Qian, this is Yin Kexi, one of the three heroes of my Mongolian Kingdom. He was a bit rash just now, please forgive him."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"And who are you? Do you think you can call me 'Brother Qian'?"
