Although Chu Qing still looked indifferent, the expression on his face was extremely serious.

“You want me to leave my woman behind? Not in this lifetime.”

Although Chu Qing said it very casually, tears fell from Tang Ziyan’s eyes.

This was the first time she had been protected by someone.

“Then, let’s do it together.”

Tang Ziyan was interrupted by Chu Qing.

“I can handle these two by myself.”

In the next moment, Chu Qing rushed towards the two of them!

Just now, Chu Qing was injured because he was not on guard. Now, his entire body was covered in spiritual energy. Ordinary daggers could not hurt him at all!

The person whose face was splashed with hot and sour noodles also got up from the ground. Her face was filled with resentment. That bowl of hot and sour noodles had scalded her skin. As a woman, the last thing she could tolerate was being disfigured!

The woman screamed and kicked at Chu Qing, creating an explosive force in the air.

Chu Qing didn’t dodge. In the current situation, he had to end the battle quickly or the wound behind him might rupture again. He should end the battle soon—the faster the better!

Chu Qing shielded himself with his right arm. With a muffled sound, he blocked the powerful kick. That woman felt as if she had kicked a steel plate.

The woman’s expression changed. She didn’t expect this man to be a martial artist. She was about to change her move, but Chu Qing wouldn’t give her another chance.

A golden light flashed on Chu Qing’s right hand, and his golden fist smashed into the woman’s arm. The woman was sent flying. She looked up and saw an approaching shadow.

Chu Qing followed up with a kick to her face!

The woman blacked out and collapsed to the ground.

As for the other woman, she seized the chance to punch Chu Qing when he attacked. However, under the defense of Chu Qing’s spiritual body, the woman did not cause any damage at all!

“Did you have a good time?”

Chu Qing smiled evilly and looked at the woman who was stunned.

How is this possible?

The woman didn’t seem to believe it. She coalesced white inner energy in her hand and hit Chu Qing’s chest with her palm. Chu Qing’s face didn’t even twitch.

“I…”

“Now, it’s my turn.”

Chu Qing grabbed the woman’s arm and twisted it, turning her over. Then, he smacked the woman’s neck and knocked her out.

Tang Ziyan was stunned as she watched from the side.

When did Chu Qing become so powerful? What was the golden light on his hand?

At this moment, Tang Ziyan suddenly realized something. Her pupils constricted as she exclaimed, “Y-You’re from an ancient martial arts family?”

Chu Qing turned around and casually threw the woman to the ground.

“No, it’s a little complicated, but I’m considered an unaffiliated martial artist.”

Chu Qing pondered for a moment before explaining, as he couldn’t reveal that he was an immortal cultivator.

“Unaffiliated martial artist…”

Tang Ziyan could tell that Chu Qing was hiding a secret. However, she still rolled her eyes.

How can an unaffiliated martial artist be so powerful?

Although Tang Ziyan did not cultivate any cultivation techniques, she could still tell that in the short confrontation just now, Chu Qing had completely relied on his absolute strength to crush the two of them. In the battle, he did not use any techniques at all.

Does such a powerful unaffiliated martial artist exist?

“Alright, contact your family and see how you deal with these two people. They should be coming for you.”

Tang Ziyan nodded. It was obvious that these two people were here for her. If not for Chu Qing, she might have been dead by now.

After contacting the Tang family, Chu Qing’s face suddenly turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Chu Qing, a-are you alright?”

Tang Ziyan’s heart raced as she quickly went over to support Chu Qing.

“I’m fine…”

Chu Qing smiled bitterly. The surprise attack, especially the palm strike, inflicted some damage on him. It had even caused a certain amount of damage to his meridians. It seemed that it was time for him to forge some simple spirit weapons to protect himself…

“Let’s go to the hospital!”

Tang Ziyan dragged Chu Qing to the hospital. Chu Qing could not dissuade her and could only take a taxi to the hospital with her.

After casually bandaging himself in the hospital, Tang Ziyan was relieved and left with Chu Qing.

“By the way, Chu Qing, you seem to understand my family well…?”

Tang Ziyan hesitated for a long time before asking the question. She could vaguely feel that Chu Qing seemed to know something about her family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have knocked out the two women and suggested that the Tang family settle it.

She was a little worried.

Did Chu Qing take the initiative to pursue me because of my family?

Previously, there were many gold diggers who wanted to join a wealthy family. They did everything they could to drug and set up traps.

“The Tang family? I know a little about them.”

Chu Qing went silent for a while before speaking.

I see…

Tang Ziyan felt as if her heart had shattered. She did not expect Chu Qing to be such a person. Did he approach and protect her for the sake of her family?

“Because I met someone…”

“Who did you meet?”

“I met Li Youwei.”

Chu Qing said slowly.

“Li Youwei? What about him?”

Tang Ziyan’s face was filled with shock. Why did Chu Qing meet Li Youwei? The two of them could be said to have no interaction at all. How did they meet?

She was fully aware of Li Youwei’s character. He was wicked, malicious, and a pawn for the Li family. The Li family sought to control Tang Ziyan by using Li Youwei, and it was the first step in their plan to take over the Tang family’s vast business empire!

But why did Li Youwei look for Chu Qing?!

Chu Qing took a deep breath and said slowly, “On the night you confessed to me, I met Li Youwei. He found a few people to stop me and told me not to get close to you.”

“You were not in danger, were you?”

Only now did Tang Ziyan realize that she had misunderstood Chu Qing. Her heart was filled with worry for him. Li Youwei’s vicious ancient martial arts circle was notoriously famous.

“How is that possible? How can I not be able to deal with those mongrels?”

Chu Qing rolled his eyes.

“I see…”

Tang Ziyan lowered her head, her heart filled with shame. She didn’t expect Chu Qing to be in danger because of her, and she was still suspecting that Chu Qing had approached her because of her family.

“Since you mentioned this, I have something to tell you.”

Chu Qing pulled Tang Ziyan into a cafe.

“Waiter.”

“Hello, what can I get you?”

A male waiter said respectfully.

“Two cups of coffee, please.”

Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan found a quiet corner and sat down.
