Chapter 195: Chapter 130: The Marriage Contest Begins (Part 2) Just as they were about to call Si Ye in, Chu Qing spoke again:
"Additionally, there are two matters that I need to trouble Manor Master Wen with."
"Just speak plainly."
"The first matter is to help me deliver a letter to White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu."
Chu Qing said:
"This person shouldn’t have left the boundaries of Luochun Manor yet. As to where he is... we have to start by finding his horse.
"And this horse should be near the taverns in the town at the foot of the mountain. I just don’t know if it’s still there."
"The letter?"
"I haven’t written it yet..."
Wen Fusheng pointed with his finger:
"The four treasures of the study are over there."
"Please wait a moment, Manor Master."
With that, Chu Qing got up to find the four treasures of the study to write the letter.
Wen Fusheng sat on the bed waiting, and shortly afterward, Chu Qing came over, but he was holding two letters.
"One is for Cao Qiupu, the other... is prepared for Tie Lingyun."
Chu Qing handed these two letters to Wen Fusheng:
"Miss Tie’s expenses at Luochun Manor, there will be costs.
"The second letter, have someone send it to Tie Lingyun, instructing him to prepare a group of subordinates to follow your orders. This group can serve as a contingency against the unexpected.
"When the storm in Luochun Manor settles, this group can escort Miss Tie back to the Iron Blood Hall."
Wen Fusheng grinned:
"You’re quite cold-hearted. I’ve heard you saved that girl’s life, but did you not have any thoughts about her?"
"I’ve already said, I have a fiancée."
Chu Qing felt that these older generation martial world folks had impure thoughts. Instead of thinking about how to become famous or invincible, they’re busy making matches for the younger generations, acting as the matchmaker.
"You better be."
Wen Fusheng snorted coldly.
Chu Qing couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and continued:
"And one last thing... Earlier someone attempted to assassinate Gentle, under the name of Mirror of Sin, which alerted its assassins.
"They went to Luochun Manor to investigate and found the mastermind of this affair is now within Luochun Manor.
"Tie Chuming accidentally stumbled upon this matter, and that’s how he ended up in my hands.
"They’ve arranged to meet again at the second watch tonight. I plan to arrange an ambush in advance, to catch them like turtles in a jar, and see if what comes is man or ghost!"
Wen Fusheng was aware of the situation but didn’t know about these twists.
Surprised, he said:
"Didn’t you just arrive yesterday? How do you know so much?"
"...Your Luochun Manor is a mess right now."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and said:
"Yesterday afternoon and half the night, various events unfolded endlessly, almost overwhelming me... Enough, it’s about time, don’t forget what I asked.
"The people tailing them need to pay attention, keep a distance and don’t reveal themselves, and if something’s off, withdraw immediately.
"If the opponent is indeed the Celestial Evil Cult, confronting them head-on will most likely be a matter of life and death."
Wen Fusheng subconsciously nodded in agreement, then realized:
"Boy, are you treating this old man like your subordinate?
"If what that old beggar said is true, my disguise here is meaningless, so I might as well personally keep watch.
"I want to see what skills these people have, daring to act so brazenly under my nose."
Chu Qing nodded, holding back a long complaint.
If it truly is the Celestial Evil Cult acting under your nose, then it’s been happening for more than a day or two.
Haven’t discovered it for so long, can you blame them for being so brazen?
With things explained, most of what needed instructing had been covered.
Chu Qing left Wen Fusheng’s room and saw Wen Kerren sitting on a stone stool weeping, Si Ye stood behind her like a wooden post, unmoving.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Wen Fusheng and his kind were so fond of playing matchmaker.
But he didn’t want to adopt such bad habits, so he approached Wen Kerren and lightly tapped the table:
"Second Miss, it’s almost time, we should head to the martial arts field."
