Li Qingniu, don't push me too far! Liruo said while glaring at him.

The lady seems to have forgotten that you were the one who provoked her first, and that your skills were inferior to hers. I only wanted to clear the doubts in my heart and hope that the lady would cooperate well and not try to play any tricks. Li Qingniu said very seriously, his expression extremely sincere without any hint of pretence, causing the other party to be speechless for a moment, and only able to let out a light snort, acting as though he was struggling.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Li Qingniu said again: What? The girl still wouldn't say? If the girl wanted to force me to start a killing spree right now...

You just said that my skills are inferior?

Li Qingniu shook the other party's wrist that was tightly grasped by his hand, and laughed: "Does Lady Liruo want to try again?

You... Hmph, everyone has their own specialties. With your strength, how can you be invincible against my weaknesses?

Li Qingniu laughed and said: If a lady really loses and refuses to admit it, then Qing Niu will really be ashamed of himself.

Liruo curled her lips and said: Who dares to be so shameless? Do you dare to compete with Zither Skills?

Li Qingniu shrugged his shoulders: "Young lady's memory is really bad, didn't we just sparred in the Old Master Wu's residence yesterday, young lady forgot about it so quickly?" [Even though it was a draw in the end, Lady Ji used your strength to attack me but you were still unable to defeat me. If your skills are inferior to mine, you are not wrongly accusing me …]

Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the Martial House gave Old Master Wu face and that I couldn't use my full strength, you wouldn't have known what would happen.

Oh? If Miss is really that confident, I will agree to start another match with you. However, if Miss is still unable to beat this one, then I hope that Miss will not go back on her words and must tell me everything that you know. Otherwise, I may really wash my Fenghua Mansion with blood.

Alright, tomorrow at this moment, on the hill at the north of the city, the two of us will have a showdown.

Li Qingniu nodded. "Mn, it's a deal.

Liruo held onto Li Qingniu's hands and said: Then why aren't you letting go? You're not trying to twist my wrist so I can't fight, are you?

Hearing that, Li Qingniu realized that his hand was still holding onto the other party's wrist, and immediately let go of his hand: I am sorry, and will not disturb the young lady's preparation for battle, goodbye.

With that, he clasped his hands and left.

Until Li Qingniu cupped his fists and left, the waiter still did not dare to go near the room, and could only say through the window: "Big sister, why don't you let me bring some people over, tonight …."

Liruo waved her hand: No need, you guys are not his opponent, it's useless to go even further. Moreover, she has the number one Refiner by her side, it's just a death sentence for all of you to go there, it's useless.

But tomorrow …

Don't worry, I will think of a way. I need to go out for a while, so I'll leave this place to you guys.

Elder sister, don't worry. Leave this to us.

When Li Qingniu returned to the tavern, Sikong Ming and Xun Yi had been looking around at the entrance as if they had already been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing that she had finally returned, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little brother, you're finally back.

Li Qingniu replied: I'm back now, so Big Brother, you don't have to worry about me.

Sigh, that's true. There aren't many people in this world that can pose a threat to you. However, it's easy to dodge a spear, and difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark. It's best to be more careful. Sikong Ming said with concern.

This little brother understands. Li Qingniu nodded.

Afterwards, the few of them went back to their rooms and Li Qingniu recounted what had happened in the past half day to the two.

After finding out that Li Qingniu was the only one who investigated Fenghua Mansion alone, Sikong Ming blamed him for being reckless. He said that moving alone was too dangerous, and told him not to do this again in the future.

Li Qingniu knew that his big brother was worried about his safety. He only laughed, and did not argue with him about right and wrong.

Oh? Is my younger brother confident that he can defeat her?

Li Qingniu shook his head: I can't say, but even if I lose, I won't lose out anyways, I just want to know the whole story, so I have to go through a lot of trouble.

In an elegant room with a fragrant wind blowing through the room, there were two beautiful figures.

Sigh, I didn't expect my sister to be so smart, how could she be so stupid this time? A voice said with a sigh.

Liruo was puzzled: "Elder sister, what do you mean by this?"

His sister had only agreed to his terms and conditions for him to lose, but she had not requested for him to give her the conditions for her to win. That way, even if he lost, he could still pester her endlessly.

This... Liruo frowned and said: It was indeed my negligence. At that time, I was only anxious to get rid of him as soon as possible, I never thought that I would be able to get someone to add him on their appointment.

"Sigh, forget it, I will only teach him a lesson when you give birth to him. At that time, he was very low spirited, and you made a request as the victor. I don't think he would have the face to refuse, but, is little sister really confident in winning against him?"

Liruo revealed confidence on her face as she said: "Elder sister, don't worry, I have my ways."

En, seeing that you have a Bamboo Formation, I feel at ease. But in case something happens, I will still send a letter to Celestial Star Sect, and believe that Celestial Star Sect will not tolerate disciples messing around, as long as they send someone over to watch over him, they will not dare to do anything to you.

Liruo said: This place is not close to the Celestial Star Sect, can we make it in time?

Don't worry, don't forget that we have a helper that is an expert in Earth Withdrawal. Although his speed is not as fast as Hanhaiwuzong's, he can still travel another three thousand li in a day easily.

Liruo nodded her head: "Sister has thought it through thoroughly, then I will have to trouble you with everything. I still have to arrange tomorrow's competition, so I will be returning to prepare first."

Go on.

That night, Li Qingniu returned to his room early after finishing his meal. He prepared to recuperate to fight the next day.

Honestly speaking, even he himself did not have complete confidence in defeating Liruo in the zither, no matter how much of an Inherent Skill he had, he had yet to awaken his martial spirit in that aspect. Last time, to be able to fight evenly with the other party, on one hand, it was because both sides did not use their full strength, and on the other hand, he had the help of the zither, which allowed him to achieve such an effect.

He knew that the Old Master Wu highly valued his family's treasure, and would definitely not lend the heaven and earth guqin to him to use.

Perhaps he might not even be able to achieve a draw just by relying on his unawakened potential. Victory was even more difficult to say.

Is Master worried about tomorrow's match? Mr. Jian saw through his thoughts and asked.

Li Qingniu nodded his head: "Yesterday's undefeatable momentum, you and I both know the reason. If not for the Heaven and Earth Zither suddenly activating my potential, I would not have been able to unleash such a powerful attack.

But Master, you don't have to worry too much. If necessary, I will use my sword qi to cut off her zither strings.

That would be noticed by him. I had been laughing at her for being shameless, and that would have made her slap me in the face instead.

What is the master going to do? If it was the old man Stellar Pavilion, should Master consider it?

Li Qingniu frowned and said: "Are you talking about stealing the zither?" "Hmm …" I might really have to think about it.

Early morning on the next day, Li Qingniu was still in a meditative state, circulating his Qi.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion coming from outside the house, he was listening intently, as though Sikong Ming was arguing with someone.

What nonsense is this? What does it have to do with us? If you have evidence to prove that we stole it, then the authorities will come to arrest us. If there is no evidence, then don't be fooling around.

Impossible, you just arrived at our mansion the second day and the things already gone, if it wasn't you who stole it, then who else could it be? Right now, the old master is in closed door cultivation. Before the old master knows about this, you should all obediently return the items.

Or what? You think I'm scared?

Once our master learns of this matter, you all can wait to be charged with the crime.

Heh, why should I be afraid of you?

Brother Sikong, what happened? Li Qingniu asked after listening for a while.

Brother, you're awake? Do you still remember this person? He came here early this morning to say that we stole his things, yet he still wanted to see you. I'm afraid that it will affect your recovery and make him come back later.

Li Qingniu took a glance at that person. He was the butler he had met at the Martial House, the one who had passed the heaven and earth guqin to him.

Hmph, coming back later? So you can move the stolen goods and collude with the story?

If you dare spout nonsense again, do you believe that I … Sikong Ming said angrily.

The butler, also broken, threw his head back and said, How is it? Do you want to hit me? Come on, come on, hit, hit as you like here.

Big brother, let me tell him. Sikong Ming hurriedly stepped forward to pull him back and said.'s impulsive nature, when compared to his real personality, might turn out to be like this.

Then he turned to the butler. Why do you think we stole it?

You wanted to exchange for the Baoqin, but my master rejected you. I did not think that you would steal the Baoqin for me, so how could my master treat you with such kindness?

Li Qingniu frowned: Are you saying that the guqin is missing?

He asked even though he already knew the answer.

When did you disappear?

After you left the night before yesterday, I had personally placed them in the secret room. I had even inspected them two days ago, and in the following day and night, the Baoqin had disappeared without a trace, no one had ever tried to practice the profound handle before. There weren't many people who knew that the Wujia had this Baoqin in common, and there weren't many who were interested in it besides you.

Mr. Jian said to Li Qingniu: Master, looks like someone took the initiative. If we knew earlier, we would have made the first move.

Li Qingniu said to the butler: I truly do not know about this, but I promise you that I will definitely find and bring the Baoqin back to the Martial House within a day, what do you think?

One day? I'm afraid you've already run off somewhere. The butler raised his head and spoke with determination.
