Chapter 13 So what if he's the young master of the Yihua Palace!
After practicing diligently for several days, I still couldn't learn the first level, but now I've directly reached the third level of perfection.
Zhao Qing was overjoyed and even considered returning to Luoyang to kill all the officials.
But he felt this was inappropriate because the rewards for wrongdoing would become less and less.
The reward is largely due to the first kill; subsequent kills will have a much weaker effect.
Moreover, Los Angeles is a big city, and killing all the officials is an heinous crime.
The imperial court will definitely punish him severely and will not let him go!
Zhao Qing knew that the imperial court was extremely powerful and that he absolutely could not provoke it.
It's not worth taking such a big risk for such a small reduction in reward.
Zhao Qing immediately sped up after leaving Luocheng.
Huang Rong's martial arts skills were quite good; she could keep up with him using her lightness skill.
When she was exhausted, Zhao Qing carried her away.
Once Huang Rong has regained some strength, let her run on her own.
On this journey, Zhao Qing tormented Huang Rong terribly.
While tormenting Huang Rong, he also kept teasing her, and the system rewards continued to come.
Although each time it's less, it's still better than nothing.
First, the reward was a year's worth of internal energy, then six months, then one month...
On the way, Zhao Qing's cultivation level broke through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm.
He already had ample internal energy; he should have broken through long ago.
Now that the breakthrough has been achieved, Zhao Qing is even more at ease.
The battle at Blackwood Cliff was extremely dangerous; with each increase in his strength, his ability to protect himself would also improve.
A day has passed.
As evening fell, Zhao Qing arrived at Xingcheng.
It's very close to Blackwood Cliff; it only takes half a day to get there.
Zhao Qing led Huang Rong into the city on horseback, and then dismounted.
He led the horse with one hand and Huang Rong with the other, searching for an inn.
Not long after entering the city, Zhao Qing noticed that someone was watching him.
He turned his head and saw a man in white standing in the teahouse, staring intently at him.
This man is extremely handsome, no less so than Pan An.
Both she and Zhao Qing are beautiful in their own way.
But Zhao Qing wasn't interested in the man; he was looking at the man's two maids.
Both of these maids were stunningly beautiful.
If they were in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution), they would definitely be the top courtesans.
"Young master, shall we make a move?"
The maid asked the handsome man beside her in a soft voice.
The man in white put away his folding fan and jumped down from the teahouse.
He landed silently, his movements were light, and his lightness skill had reached the top level.
Two maids followed and jumped down.
They landed with their knees slightly bent, clearly showing that their lightness skill was not as good as their master's.
The two men blocked Zhao Qing's path, and Zhao Qing stopped in his tracks.
The man in white clasped his hands in greeting to Zhao Qing: "I am Hua Wuque of the Yihua Palace."
"What did this girl do to offend you? Why are you humiliating her like this?"
Zhao Qing frowned when he heard that he was the young master of Yihua Palace.
He couldn't discern Hua Wuque's true abilities.
However, Hua Wuque's martial arts skills had already reached the Innate Realm.
At only eighteen years old, he became a master of innate talent, possessing extremely high innate abilities.
His appearance, temperament, demeanor, martial arts skills, knowledge, character, magnanimity, wisdom, and deep affection are all impeccable; he is truly flawless.
"Young Master Hua Wuque of the Yihua Palace... truly lives up to his reputation!"
"Yes, he is indeed an outstanding man."
"This is going to be interesting."
"The Yihua Palace hates people who bully women the most, and they will never ignore such a thing."
"Hua Wuque is not only good-looking, but also very skilled in martial arts."
"He reached the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen. Now, two years later, his martial arts must be even stronger."
"On the Tianji Pavilion's list of innate talents, Hua Wuque ranks thirteenth."
"Hua Wuque is only ranked thirteenth? Who are the top ten?"
……
Hearing that Hua Wuque had arrived, everyone gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Zhao Qing overheard everyone's discussion.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? The Innate Ranking? That's the list.
The list is valuable for reference, but Yue Buqun is not qualified to be on it.
Hua Wuque made the list, ranking thirteenth, and his martial arts skills are very high.
Zhao Qing's cultivation level is at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, not yet at the Innate Realm.
Hua Wuque reached the Innate Realm two years ago.
If it came to a fight, Zhao Qing knew he couldn't defeat Hua Wuque, so he didn't want to clash with him.
"That woman is my wife. She cheated on me, so I taught her a lesson. What's wrong with that? Is this your place to meddle in household affairs?"
Huang Rong quickly said, "Young Master Hua, don't believe him! I don't know him; he's the one who kidnapped me!"
She knew the significance of the Innate Ranking.
The list released by Tianjilou is highly authoritative.
Huang Rong was not a person from the Ming Dynasty, but she had heard many rumors about the martial arts world during that time.
Hua Wuque was very famous; she knew him.
Zhao Qing is definitely no match for Hua Wuque.
When Huang Rong saw Hua Wuque, it was like grasping at a straw.
"You shameless slut!"
Zhao Qing pointed at Huang Rong and cursed her.
Huang Rong retorted, "You scoundrel! You're scared now that you've seen Young Master Hua! All you do is bully the weak!"
"You shameless woman, not only are you unfaithful, but you also tried to kill your husband! You're so vicious!"
Zhao Qing insisted that Huang Rong was his wife, and even said that he had been cuckolded.
That expression of love and hate was so convincingly portrayed.
Hua Wuque was completely confused and stood there, not knowing what to do.
Huang Rong could tell from Hua Wuque's reaction that he completely believed Zhao Qing's words.
Zhao Qing's acting was perfect and flawless, leaving Huang Rong with no way to defend herself.
Huang Rong said urgently, "Young Master Hua, don't believe him!"
"He's a lecherous thief; he kidnapped me!"
"He actually claimed I was his wife and falsely accused me of having an affair—that's complete nonsense!"
"My virginity mark is still intact, proving my innocence. You can tell at a glance, young master!"
Zhao Qing frowned upon hearing this.
Hua Wuque was about to step forward to check, but Zhao Qing absolutely could not let him succeed.
Once investigated, the lie will be exposed immediately.
Zhao Qing immediately loosened the reins, used his lightness skill to quickly flash in front of Huang Rong, picked her up and tried to escape, even abandoning the horse!
But Hua Wuque had anticipated this, and as soon as Zhao Qing took action, he quickly blocked Zhao Qing's path.
"Put this girl down, or I won't let you off the hook."
Zhao Qing put Huang Rong down and looked directly at Hua Wuque.
"I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of you."
"Since you insist on interfering, then I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
Zhao Qing sneered, "I'd like to see just how powerful you, the flawless young master ranked thirteenth on the Innate Ranking, really are!"
Zhao Qing pushed Huang Rong aside, making her step back.
Huang Rong moved closer to him and whispered, "You're asking for death."
"But I won't hold it against you. I'll collect your body after you die."
After saying that, Huang Rong smiled and stepped aside, waiting to see Zhao Qing be defeated.
Huang Rong, who had stepped aside, watched Zhao Qing's retreating figure and felt it was a pity that he had died.
Although I've always called Zhao Qing a villain and a lecher, these past two days, this villain has become quite interesting.
Although I was tormented all day, it was because of her harsh words.
Zhao Qing was not a good person. After being insulted by Huang Rong like that, it was already merciful of her to spare her life.
And the key point is that he hasn't done anything bad to Huang Rong yet.
Looking back now, Zhao Qing was fine in every way except for killing people.
Huang Rong thought to herself, "It's such a pity that Zhao Qing is dead."
"Should we plead for this lecherous scoundrel and ask Hua Wuque to spare his life?"
Huang Rong was making plans.
But she still hesitated.
It is a fact that Zhao Qing indiscriminately killed innocent people and took her hostage.
Now she needs Hua Wuque to help her escape, which is a good opportunity for Hua Wuque to teach him a lesson and show him what's what.
