Brother Li, don't... Gu Ruoqing struggled to squeeze out these few words, but she was quickly grabbed by the throat by Mo Cheng.

If you continue to be dishonest, I'll strangle you right now! Mo Cheng fiercely said.

You strangle me, I... I also don't want Brother Li to accept you …

Suddenly, Gu Ruoqing felt Mo Cheng's hand loosen, she took the chance to flip over and out, escaping Mo Cheng's control.

Looking back, Mo Cheng's legs were below his knees. For some reason, he had sunk into the ground.

Just now, when Mo Cheng was focusing his attention on Gu Ruoqing, he suddenly felt as if someone was grabbing his ankle.

While feeling fear, the hand holding Gu Ruoqing couldn't help but loosen as well. By the time he had reacted to it, his legs were already deeply embedded into the ground. Li Qingniu was standing at a place not far away, gently flicking off the dust on his clothes.

This... What kind of damned move is this? Mo Cheng was still in a state of shock as he said this.

The Grandma Long had said that there was no need to explain too much to bad people. Directly killing them was the best way to deal with things. Miss Gu was a good person, so the person who bullied her was definitely a bad person.

As Li Qingniu said this, he had already raised his right hand, preparing to directly slap Mo Cheng to death.

Hmph, Stinky Kid, I was just hiding my strength just now. I wanted to see what tricks you have, do you really think I am that easy to deal with?

As the voice fell, Mo Cheng's eyes were opened, and his body, which had been buried in the ground, disappeared without a trace.

Mo Cheng's Martial Spirit Skills could be changed through meditation. As long as he wanted to find the right place, he could instantly move his body to the place he wanted to go.

However, this distance was not limitless. Only when he meditated within the range of his vision would he be able to achieve his goal.

Be careful of the back! Gu Chuan reminded Li Qingniu loudly to be careful behind him.

Too late, kid, die, heh heh... In a flash, Mo Cheng who had already appeared behind Li Qingniu, took out a dagger and stabbed towards the center of his opponent's back like lightning.

His speed was extremely fast, so fast that it only needed a blink of an eye to determine the outcome of the battle.

Li Qingniu did not move, maybe it was because he was too late.

The dagger was incomparably sharp, and it glinted with a cold light as it pierced straight through the back of the heart …

Ah … Wh... What!

Li Qingniu still did not move, and the one who moved was still Mo Cheng.

However, it was different from before. This time, he did not advance. Instead, he retreated.

Mo Cheng's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. He staggered backwards step by step.

The cold light of the dagger was like snow. Only half of the dagger remained attached to the handle.

The other half had already landed behind Li Qingniu, and was looking at its master alone.

How could a dagger forged from the hardest part of a snake bone beast's entire body not be able to pierce through his body? Who was he? Exactly …

I wanted to avoid it, but you were too weak. Li Qingniu said indifferently as he turned around.

His tone was very sincere, even somewhat immature. It was completely devoid of any sense of arrogance or arrogance.

He believed that the other party was purposely mocking him and couldn't help but clench his fists, which were already soaked in cold sweat: Stinky Kid, stop lying to yourself.

If he couldn't even dodge this speed, the Grandpa Quezi would probably cripple my legs out of anger.

The voice came from behind Mo Cheng, and from the moment Li Qingniu said the first word, his figure had already appeared behind Mo Cheng.

However, Mo Cheng had been on his guard the entire time. He didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

He was confident that no matter what Li Qingniu did, he wouldn't be able to escape his eyes.

But even until Li Qingniu's voice rang behind his ears, he did not see Li Qingniu make any movements.

Because the time between Li Qingniu's disappearance and his speech was just too short; it was too fast!

Before he could even feel the change, it had already happened.

Sweat trickled down Mo Cheng's forehead. He suddenly shouted, and waved the dagger in his hand that only had half of its blade remaining, at Mo Cheng's back.

Li Qingniu slowly raised his hand and easily gripped onto Mo Cheng's wrist, followed by a palm strike on Mo Cheng's back.

Amidst the mournful wails, the bones all over Mo Cheng's body emitted a cracking sound. In the end, with a casual toss, his body shot through the clouds like a shooting arrow …

Seeing this scene, Yang Lie's body couldn't help but shiver. Although he had a fiery personality, being able to serve as the city's master was by no means a brainless act. When he encountered an unexpected situation, he would also calmly observe and find a situation that was advantageous to him.

The reason why he did not make a move previously was to see if Mo Cheng could handle Li Qingniu. If he could, that would be for the best, but if not, then at least he would have a better understanding of Li Qingniu's strength.

However, the more he looked, the more shocked he became. Mo Cheng's strength was close to that of the 8-star Fighter, and even though he was far from being his match, his skills and ruthlessness were far beyond his own.

He asked himself, if he met with the same situation, it would definitely not be as easy as what Li Qingniu dealt with him with, so easy as if he had only eaten a meal. Judging from this alone, the other party's strength was definitely higher than his by more than a level.

As an expert of Stellar Level, this was the first time he felt so powerless and cowardly in front of an opponent.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Lie felt that there was someone in front of him.

You also came to help him bully Miss Ruoqing and Uncle Gu?

No no no, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding, it was Mo Cheng instigating trouble, I didn't notice it, under his deception, I mistook good people for murderers. After listening to your conversation just now, I realized that I wronged good people.

Uncle Gu, is what he said true?

Gu Chuan looked at Yang Lie and snorted. He sneered: I heard that the Gu family's fire has implicated thirteen houses in the vicinity, causing several tens of people to die and be injured?

Ah … Err, after checking, the Gu family's fire didn't show any signs of spreading, it was Mo Cheng who took the opportunity to set fire to the nearby residences, intending to create a false image and frame the Gu family.

I also burned many of Mo Cheng's followers.

After my Mayor came to the scene to investigate, it was originally Mo Cheng and the rest who had plotted against the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce, and set up an ambush here to kill the Gu Family. Gu Chuan protected his family members, and so fought fiercely against them with all his might;

On one hand, Yang Lie was trying to use these words to excuse the Gu family's responsibilities. In the end, he did not forget to use probing words to probe the other party's intentions.

Who had beaten Uncle Gu's wounds? Li Qingniu asked.

Hearing Li Qingniu's question, Yang Lie's heart could not help but tighten.

Gu Chuan coughed lightly twice and said: My internal injuries have never actually completely recovered, I was originally about to recuperate, but due to being enraged just now, I used too much force, and injured my internal organs. Sigh, I'm an old man, but I have many problems, cough cough cough …

Right, right. Yang Lie immediately agreed.

Gu Ruoqing understood her father's intentions. As the lord of a city, if Yang Lie died without knowing the reason, his entire Qingyang City would descend into an earth-shattering turmoil. Gu Chuan did not want the innocent citizens of the Qingyang City to be affected by the battle of the merchant guilds.

Furthermore, with this lesson, he believed that from today onwards, Yang Lie would no longer dare to act arrogantly like he did in the past, looking down on everyone else.

After releasing Yang Lie, Gu Chuan did not plan to bring everyone back to the Qingyang City. The Gu Family courtyard had already been burnt to ashes, and the Gu Family's foundation in the Qingyang City had begun to waver.

Many years ago, Gu Chuan had once opened a branch here in his personal name. Originally, it was a place where he could respond to emergencies, but before that, he managed it pretty well.

He decided to bring everyone to that place and make that place his foundation. He would use that place as his future base to rise again.

The starlight was dim. The gentle breeze rippled the grass, and it was time for another conversation.

Two figures quietly stood under the ripples of stars. Gu Ruoqing's eyes moved about, as though she had thousands of words to say in her heart, but she remained silent and did not say a word.

Brother Li, come back and save me … Would it bother you to register at Celestial Star Sect? If we can't make it this year, why don't you come with me first...

Miss Ruoqing need not worry. Compared to Grandpa Quezi, although my Qing Gong is very weak, I will definitely be able to reach the Celestial Star Sect in time.

Oh... Gu Ruoqing lowered her head, a look of disappointment and disappointment on her face.

The sky is about to brighten and I need to return. After Miss Ruoqing gets settled at a new place, remember to send a letter to Celestial Star Sect to report on my safety.

Well, I will.

After Li Qingniu left, Gu Ruoqing looked in the direction that Li Qingniu had left for a long time, even though he had long since disappeared.

Suddenly, a hand lightly patted her shoulder. Don't worry, we'll meet again very soon. It was unknown when Gu Chuan had arrived behind her and comforted her.

Father, what do you mean?

Gu Chuan laughed out loud: "Father is not a fool. If you like Young Master Li, how could I not see it?

Father, what nonsense are you spouting … Gu Ruoqing's face immediately flushed red, and she unconsciously turned her head away. Her bashful look made it seem as if she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Hahahaha, don't worry little girl, Daddy will prepare everything for you. Right now, rest assured and follow the team.

When they returned to the place they were previously at, it was already close to dawn and Murong Lanyu, Fang Tong and the rest were still unconscious.

If they knew that Li Qingniu went back and forth across the Qingyang City in one night, they would probably make a fuss for a while.

Even though the distance from here to there wasn't that far, there were still around five to six hundred kilometers. Even if there was a good mount that was over a thousand kilometers, it was still impossible for it to travel to and from both places in such a short amount of time.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, or maybe the worry that was pressing down on his mind had disappeared. Not long after Li Qingniu laid down, he fell into a deep sleep.
