“Shang Tianhua…I remember him, and I’ll kill both him and Shang Tang!” Qin Chu said, adding another person to his kill list.
Then, in his conversation with Qin Lingxi, Qin Chu explained why Shang Tang deserved to die.
“He knew we, the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan and Azure Dragon Holy Clan, had an engagement, yet he still came to propose marriage. This shows he doesn’t respect us, he’s trampling on us, and he deserves to be killed!” Qin Lingxi was also very angry. It was shameless to covet someone else's fiancée, especially her nephew's fiancée.
Back in the courtyard, after Cultivating for a while, Qin Chu started thinking of Shang Shuyu, so he went to the mountain hollow where Shang Shuyu lived.
“Qin Chu, you haven’t been here for a while.” Shang Shuyu was very happy to see Qin Chu arrive.
“Senior Sister, it’s not that I didn’t want to come. I was out for a while, busy with some things, and only recently returned,” Qin Chu explained.
“I’m happy you remembered to come. Here, have some tea!” Shang Shuyu poured Qin Chu a cup of tea.
Qin Chu smiled at Shang Shuyu, “Later, I’ll take you to a larger city nearby to buy some daily necessities for you. This place is too simple, and you’re unwilling to stay at my place.”
“Okay! Whenever you have time, we can go out and wander around,” Shang Shuyu said.
Granny Yu didn't come out of the bamboo house. Qin Chu and Shang Shuyu chatted casually, and Shang Shuyu was quite happy, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter.
Qin Chu was also very happy; it was a rare moment of relaxation for him.
After chatting with Shang Shuyu for a good while and arranging to meet tomorrow, Qin Chu left Shang Shuyu’s residence.
“This kid’s spirit is different again!” After Qin Chu left, Granny Yu came out of the bamboo house.
Shang Shuyu nodded, “He has changed a bit.”
“That little brat from the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, his cultivation hasn’t improved, but his Aura has. It’s quite strange!” Granny Yu cursed. She naturally didn’t know that Qin Chu had comprehended Battle Intent. With Battle Intent, the Aura Qin Chu carried naturally had some changes.
Hearing Granny Yu’s words, Shang Shuyu was displeased, “Granny, why are you cursing him?!”
“What’s wrong with cursing him? Whenever I think this little brat wants to annul the engagement, I get furious. It’s good enough that I didn’t come out and beat him up!” Granny Yu explained the reason for her anger.
“Granny, it’s understandable that he wants to annul the engagement. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to be bound by a marriage contract, and I don’t want to either!” Shang Shuyu explained on Qin Chu’s behalf.
Granny Yu sat opposite Shang Shuyu, “How can that be the same? You don’t want to accept others’ arrangements because Shang Tang is trash, but why shouldn’t he? What’s wrong with Granny cursing him? When his parents visited our Azure Dragon Holy Clan back then, they respectfully called me Granny. If Granny curses him, he has to take it!”
“Granny, what kind of people were his parents exactly?” Shang Shuyu asked.
“This kid is quite a scoundrel, but when it comes to his parents, one can’t help but praise them! Twenty years ago, they were the most outstanding young Geniuses in this world, incomparable to anyone else. His father, Qin Zhanye, made the Geniuses of several great Holy Clans pale in comparison. Later, his mother, Zhen Xueyan, emerged, defeating many masters, not just her peers, but older generation masters. Think about it, the old Clan Chief of the White Tiger Holy Clan was killed by her. How strong was her power? The main thing is that she was young; she was less than thirty at the time. It’s just that Heaven didn’t give them, the couple, enough time. If it had, the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan would be the overlord of this region,” Granny Yu said.
“So his parents were so outstanding. With outstanding parents, it makes sense that the son is also outstanding,” Shang Shuyu said.
“How can there be any comparison? His parents are not like him. His father, Qin Zhanye, was the Young Clan Chief of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, but he was very humble, a refined gentleman; his mother, Zhen Xueyan, was like an immortal lady untouched by mortal Qi. But him? He starts fighting at the slightest disagreement, starts killing at the slightest disagreement. His Killing Intent is too heavy; they are completely different people,” Granny Yu said, describing the differences in her impression between Qin Chu and his parents.
“Granny, your comparison isn’t fair! Now and then are different eras. Back then, Qin Chu’s parents had the powerful Vermilion Bird Holy Clan behind them, and their own cultivation was strong, giving them inherent deterrence; no one dared to provoke them. But he can’t do that. A while ago, the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan hadn’t emerged, and he was alone. If he wasn’t a bit fiercer than others, he wouldn’t be able to establish himself in the Jianghu and would be bullied to death!” Shang Shuyu argued on Qin Chu’s behalf.
“Yu’er, you’re right to say that. If a person isn’t a bit ruthless, they indeed can’t establish themselves in this Jianghu. In short, this kid’s character isn’t bad, but it’s definitely a bit extreme,” Granny Yu said after thinking for a moment. She didn’t deny some facts; Qin Chu’s environment and his parents’ environment back then were too different.
“His parents were Dragons and Phoenixes from birth, while he was a commoner. I actually admire his struggle from nothing to something,” Shang Shuyu said after pouring Granny Yu a cup of tea.
“Hmph, he’s going to annul the engagement, and you still think everything about him is good!” Granny Yu snorted again.
“He’s my Junior Brother, so of course everything about him is good!” Shang Shuyu said and then returned to her room. She felt that Granny Yu was biased against Qin Chu, and she couldn’t explain it clearly.
After Cultivating all night, Qin Chu went to the mountain hollow where Shang Shuyu lived and took Shang Shuyu to the nearest city.
Upon arriving at the city, Qin Chu accompanied Shang Shuyu on a shopping trip.
Shang Shuyu was very excited. Growing up in the Azure Dragon Holy Clan, she had never been to the mundane world, and casually shopping like this was almost unheard of for her.
Shang Shuyu bought things in front, and Qin Chu paid in the back, without a hint of impatience.
Granny Yu, who was following from a distance, tapped her walking stick. She found it strange; Qin Chu and Shang Shuyu together presented a very harmonious picture. At this moment, Qin Chu had none of the Killing Intent he had in Tianjian City; he was like a boy next door, carrying a sunny Aura.
After shopping for most of the day, Shang Shuyu waved to Qin Chu and then entered a teahouse.
Qin Chu waited at the entrance of the teahouse. When Granny Yu arrived, he reached out to help her upstairs.
“Qin Chu, Granny has been a bit critical of you lately, aren’t you angry?” Granny Yu asked Qin Chu, who was beside her.
“Not angry. As an elder, it’s normal for Granny to have different opinions and views. Since Senior Sister respects you, you naturally have qualities worthy of respect,” Qin Chu said.
Granny Yu sighed, “You win. Granny retracts my previous unfair views of you.”
Shang Shuyu, inside the teahouse, was happy after hearing Granny Yu’s words. She pulled Granny Yu to a seat, “Thank you, Granny.”
“If Granny has any more opinions of him, you won’t take Granny out next time,” Granny Yu said with a smile.
The three of them drank tea and chatted. Just then, discussions came from a neighboring table: the Black Prison Master had acted again. After killing the Butcher Huo Baichuan, he had eliminated another master.
“Granny, what is this Black Prison Master trying to do? He’s killed so many masters!” Shang Shuyu asked with a frown.
“Senior Sister, wait for me!” At this moment, Qin Chu stood up and quickly left the teahouse, because he saw a familiar figure.
