212: My brother is dead, and you still want me to apologize?

A few minutes later:

The two set off.

However, they hadn't walked far when a cloud of dust appeared ahead.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came whistling towards them.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The two stopped.

Soon:

Chu Qing saw the approaching person.

That was... Nangong.

Chu Qing was surprised.

“Nangong, why are you here?”

Nangong's face was filled with anxiety.

It was only after seeing Chu Qing that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Before her horse could even steady itself, she leaped through the air:

“Qing Ge, you're alright?”

“That's great!”

Warhorses neighed.

One by one, old nuns and Masked Men curiously looked at Chu Qing and Madam Shi.

An old nun saw this scene and immediately frowned.

Chu Qing said:

“Why are you here?”

Nangong chattered, “You haven't returned for several days. People from Hall Number Nine have been burning paper money for you every day.”

“I couldn't stand it, so I found someone to prepare to look for you.”

Chu Qing's thoughts were complex.

Madam Shi looking for him was already a surprise.

Nangong, moreover, brought a group of people to search for him.

This made him feel a mix of emotions.

Madam Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these people arrived a little late.

Otherwise... that scene just now would definitely have been seen.

After some pleasantries, Nangong said, “You've dealt with that Anomaly?”

Chu Qing nodded and said, “Dealt with it!”

An old nun suddenly said, “How did you deal with it?”

Chu Qing chuckled, “I burned it with a fire, then destroyed everything I could see.”

“Finally, I found the anomalous object, and it was dealt with.”

The emaciated old nun's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

The people on the warhorses stirred.

They all knew that Chu Qing was dealing with an Anomaly.

Anomalies were terrifying.

Most people who encountered them died inexplicably.

They had all heard about the incident in Huangniu Town and knew it was very difficult to resolve.

But, they never expected that Chu Qing would solve it with a single fire.

This approach, this method, was simply too inconceivable.

Why didn't we think of that?

Can other Anomalies be handled this way?

The group Nangong brought were all experts from the Thousand Eyes Alliance.

They dealt with Yi Ren.

They dealt with Anomalies.

This time, Nangong paid a huge price to invite them.

Many people came to Huangniu Town with a mindset of certain death.

But, they never expected that before their group of professionals could even act, Chu Qing, who needed rescuing, had actually handled it himself.

The Crowd's thoughts were complex.

An old nun, moreover, stared intently at Chu Qing, muttering, “You... join us!”

Nangong glared at the old nun, then stood in front of Chu Qing and said:

“Qing Ge doesn't need any constraints.”

The old nun glared at Nangong, then jumped off her warhorse.

She carefully scrutinized Chu Qing, then seriously said:

“I am a Ninth-level Protector of the Thousand Eyes Alliance!”

“Chu Qing, your ability to clear an Anomaly alone proves your Heaven-Defying methods and intelligent thinking.”

“As long as you join the Thousand Eyes Alliance, your status will definitely be very high, even higher than Nangong's.”

“After joining us, you can enjoy many benefits.”

“Many resources are unavailable in the outside world.”

“Those resources can allow you to Breakthrough the First Limit and step into the Second Limit at the fastest speed.”

Chu Qing shook his head, refusing, “I'm sorry, I like freedom.”

The old nun paused, then said, “If you want to advance further, you need to join an organization.”

“Only an organization can help you improve quickly.”

“Otherwise, before long, you will be lost among The Crowd.”

Chu Qing smiled, then shook his head again, refusing.

He scoffed at the old nun's words.

Even without the Thousand Eyes Alliance, he still rose when he was supposed to.

The Thousand Eyes Alliance said he would be lost among The Crowd?

How is that possible?

I've climbed from a mere minion to where I am now; I'm definitely not meant to be lost among The Crowd.

I not only want to become a Second Limit expert, but I also want to step into the Third Limit.

Moreover, I want to become an Yi Ren.

I also want to become an Overlord.

I want to stand at the pinnacle of this World.

The old nun sighed.

Chu Qing's abilities moved her.

She still wanted to persuade him.

However, Chu Qing said, “I won't join the Thousand Eyes Alliance for now, but that doesn't mean I won't join in the future.”

“We can talk about joining you later.”

The old nun nodded.

At this point, Chu Qing was fine.

The old nun said a few words to Nangong, then left with her people.

Nangong stayed behind.

She chattered, asking Chu Qing what had happened.

Chu Qing recounted the events.

After listening, Nangong sighed and said:

“That Yi Ren Yu is truly too pitiful.”

“That Pipa Woman is too wicked.”

“Don't let me run into her; if I do, I'll definitely make her pay.”

Chu Qing nodded.

He hesitated, then curiously asked, “Since the Thousand Eyes Alliance didn't act, does that mean you don't have to pay the price?”

Nangong smiled, “I only need to pay a small price.”

Chu Qing said, “What did you promise them back then for them to come help me?”

Nangong put her hands behind her back, unwilling to say.

Madam Shi on the side suddenly said, “It's nothing more than selling her life.”

Chu Qing was silent.

Nangong said nonchalantly, “Qing Ge, as long as you're safe, I'm safe.”

“My paying a small price to help you is actually helping myself.”

Chu Qing smiled and said nothing.

Nangong was good to him.

He naturally had to repay her.

Nangong knew Huangniu Town was dangerous, but she still came without hesitation.

He had to repay her.

He thought of the Dragon Tendon Technique.

Although the Dragon Tendon Technique was extremely precious.

Although Nangong arrived late.

However, he still decided to give the Dragon Tendon Technique to Nangong.

He didn't care if someone surpassed him.

He was even less afraid of his friends becoming powerful.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Chu Qing returned to Zhou City.

He didn't go back immediately but went to find Madam Jin.

Madam Jin saw the blood on him and worriedly said, “Qing'er, go bathe, I'll check your wounds.”

Chu Qing nodded, “Okay, Godmother.”

Madam Shi and Nangong rolled their eyes, then turned and left.

“Mind your moderation!”

Nangong even reminded him before she left.

Chu Qing let Madam Jin examine his body.

At this time, the news of him dealing with the Anomaly in Huangniu Town quickly spread among the Big Shots.

After a Big Shot heard the news, he remained silent for a long time, then told his butler:

“All future actions against Chu Qing are to be canceled.”

“As you command!”

One by one, the Big Shots made the same decision.

Because:

They discovered that Chu Qing, whom Zheng Zhixiang wanted them to target, was simply too difficult to deal with.

“This person is not only powerful, but he also has good luck.”

“Even more terrifying is that he actually cleared the Huangniu Town Anomaly as an ordinary person.”

“Chu Qing is no ordinary person!”

A dozen Big Shots, in unison, chose to give up.

They felt that their grievances with Chu Qing had vanished.

However, they had no idea that Chu Qing had already tasked the Worldly Affairs intelligence organization with investigating them.

It was just that his strength was still weak now, so he couldn't retaliate yet.

A Big Shot directly wrote a letter to Zheng Zhixiang, explaining Chu Qing's situation.

Finally, he mentioned in the letter:

“You and I are even!”

“I don't want to provoke Chu Qing anymore.”

“You find an opportunity to make amends with him!”

“Being hostile to Chu Qing is truly unwise.”

“If possible, it's best to apologize to Chu Qing!”

Zheng Zhixiang was so angry that he tore up the letter.

“Apologize?”

“My brother was killed, and I still have to apologize?”

“Chu Qing... how did you grow so fast?”
