Chapter 174 Flavor
"Young Master Jiang, are you free tonight?"
Just as Jiang Yueming finished giving instructions for his last affairs and stepped out of the tent, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him.
Looking back, Jiang Yueming was stunned. Chen Qingling in front of him was as beautiful and stunning as if she had stepped out of a painting.
She wore a simple white dress, the thin fabric revealing her alluring curves and mature charm, and her straight, fair legs made one's mouth water.
Jiang Yueming vaguely recalled the feeling of slamming into her that day, a tingling sensation running through him. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "Ahem, I wonder what brings Miss Chen here tonight?"
At this moment, he was undecided. When Chen Qingling left the carriage that day, her eyes clearly showed that she wanted to do something.
Could it be her tonight…?
If it really comes to that, Jiang Yueming can't guarantee she'll be able to control herself.
Chen Qingling seemed to sense something amiss in Jiang Yueming's words, her face flushed slightly, and she said urgently, "The convoy will stop and rest in a grove of trees tonight."
"So I want to play a tune under the moonlight to thank you for everything you've done for me..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming thought for a moment and casually replied, "Sure."
As long as it's not what he thinks, it doesn't matter if he spends some time alone with Chen Qingling.
Moreover, one can vaguely see some of Li Qingling's shadow in her.
Jiang Yueming couldn't bear to refuse Chen Qingling's invitation, partly to comfort herself.
Li Qingling had always taken special care of him and Chu Yao since they were little, especially him.
She was only two years older than Changjiang Yueming, yet she gave him a warmth that was different from that of a sister, like an older sister.
Even at the end of her life, she was still thinking of herself, hoping to get out of the shadow of betrayal as soon as possible.
He owed Li Qingling far too much. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely accept his senior sister's proposal and be with her, and none of what happened afterward would have occurred.
"Then we'll see you tonight!" Chen Qingling's face lit up with a happy smile when she heard Jiang Yueming agree.
"Okay, I'll keep my appointment."
……
Black Thunder Cliff
Black Thunder Hall
A middle-aged man dressed in a black tiger robe, his face as black as charcoal, looked at the white paper in his hand, his massive body trembling.
The paper clearly displayed the words, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
"This piece of paper really was brought back from the escort team."
The middle-aged man turned his gaze to the underling kneeling on the ground below the steps and gave a low shout.
When he learned from the foreman that Jiang Wushen was in the escort team, he immediately returned the ten boxes of silver that Han Xuan had given him, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
But now that he has seen Jiang Yueming's writing with his own eyes, he feels that he has been deceived, because they have never seen Jiang Wushen write.
That means that if you just casually mention someone and write "Good dog doesn't block the way," you might be able to get away with it.
The foreman seemed to know Tiger Guard's doubts, patted his chest and shouted, "Master, I guarantee with my life that Jiang Wushen is indeed in the convoy!"
"Oh, how will you prove it?" asked the bald man standing next to the Tiger Guard.
His name is Han Liqiu, he is at the Ancient Realm level, and he is one of the three deputy cliff masters of Black Thunder Cliff.
"Vice Lord Han, I saw him with my own eyes. The aura he exuded was absolutely that of the Martial God Jiang Yue!" The underling said even more excitedly when Han Liqiu didn't believe him.
He knew that if Hei Leiya offended Jiang Wushen this time, the old story from three years ago would repeat itself!
Before joining Black Thunder Cliff, he was a wanted criminal who committed all sorts of evil deeds, including arson, murder, and robbery.
Without Hei Leiya as his protector, he would be doomed as soon as he stepped off the mountain!
After a moment of silence, Tiger Guard pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, I'll first prepare for the banquet to welcome Jiang Wushen."
"If he really is Jiang Wushen, then we'll welcome him and let him pass; if he isn't, then we'll rob the caravan and hold a victory celebration!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a lean man with narrow eyes immediately stood up and cheered.
"Great idea! The thread leader is brilliant!"
He was also one of the three deputy leaders of the cliff, named Lin Zhi. Although he was only at the late stage of the Condensation Realm, he was skilled at flattery.
He barely managed to become a deputy forum moderator.
"Well done, Master, your mind is indeed meticulous!"
"The forum owner is really amazing, so thoughtful."
"Excellent, wonderful! Master, you are brilliant!"
Amidst the praise, Tiger Guard slowly rose into a daze, his mood greatly improved. He waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Then let's leave it at that for now. Remember to bring out my treasured wine, which I've kept for many years, at the banquet!"
After saying that, Tiger Guard turned and left into the inner room. The main hall quickly became lively. Was Tiger Guard so generous as to bring out the fine wine to share?
"Oh, Vice Chief Lin, you're so clever! We brothers are able to enjoy this fine wine today entirely thanks to you!"
"Yes, Vice Cliff Master Lin is indeed exceptionally intelligent!"
Looking at the group of sycophants who had come up to flatter him, Lin Zhi smiled obsequiously and said, "Not at all, not at all. I, Hei Leiya, am only able to be here today thanks to my brothers!"
"And there's also Vice Cliff Master Han and Vice Cliff Master Jiang..."
"Huh? Where's Vice Cliff Master Jiang?" Lin Zhi looked around but didn't see Jiang Qian and asked in surprise.
His eyes darkened, and his expression changed drastically as he pushed past the crowd and hurriedly ran into the inner room.
"What's wrong with Deputy Cliff Master Lin? He was perfectly fine just now."
"Yes, is there something very important? Why are you in such a hurry to find the forum master?"
"..."
Inside the hall, everyone was talking amongst themselves, but Han Liqiu stood silently to the side, his eyes narrowed.
He knew what Lin Zhi was panicking about, because Jiang Qian had disappeared. The reason Jiang Qian had disappeared was most likely because she went to challenge Jiang Wushen to a duel.
She had only joined Black Thunder Cliff two years ago and was completely unaware of the fear the Martial God had instilled in Black Thunder Cliff three years prior.
Moreover, she has always looked down on the people in the Martial God Competition, believing that they only have their current strength and status because of the abundant resources of their sects.
But she was able to cultivate to the third stage of the Primordial Realm without any resources from a young age, so she didn't believe in those little devils who participated in the Holy Competition.
Is it really as rumored, that someone at the Condensation Realm can instantly kill someone at the Primordial Realm?
If Jiang Qian's outburst angers Jiang Wushen, then Black Thunder Cliff will be completely finished.
Lin Zhi was aware of this, which was why he was so anxious. However, Han Liqiu was skeptical of Jiang Wushen in the escort team, so he chose to remain silent.
It would be good to let Jiang Qian go and make a scene to find out what's going on. If it's true, they can turn the welcoming banquet into an apology banquet. After all, the God of War is known for his kindness and generosity.
If it's fake, then robbing this caravan would be another way to make some money.
No matter what, Black Thunder Cliff will always be invincible!
"Hehe, Jiang Wushen, I hope you're telling the truth, otherwise all the beauties in that car will be mine."
With a lewd grin on his face, Han Liqiu turned and slowly walked away.
He had long heard that Chen Dahai's daughter was incredibly beautiful, and he had been coveting her for a long time.
Now that Chen Dahai has lost power in the Holy Dragon Empire, he has nothing to worry about. In addition, he heard that Chen Qingling is in the escort team. This is truly a golden opportunity!
"Chen Qingling, I must have you, and enjoy your taste to the fullest, hahaha."
