Chapter 22: One Finger, One Sword!

Humans were such strange creatures.

For half a year, a fragrant shadow had appeared countless times in his mind. But now that she appeared alive and well before him, Wei Ziqing could not say a single word.

He did not know why this Little Dragon Maiden, who should have been weeping in Yang Guo’s arms, came straight toward him instead.

He did not want to understand it either.

He had imagined the scene of their meeting countless times.

He had also thought countless times about how he should speak when he finally saw her.

But when Little Dragon Maiden appeared before him, Wei Ziqing fell silent. After a long time, he managed a single sentence: “Are… you doing well?”

Little Dragon Maiden looked quietly at the gentle and refined young man before her. She had not expected that she would actually meet him here.

Hearing his words, a flash of tenderness appeared in Little Dragon Maiden’s eyes. In the end, she nodded and said softly, “Yes, and you?”

“Yes, I am very well!”

The two fell silent again, just as they had been back on Mount Zhongnan. Although they said nothing, there were some things that were understood without words.

Cheng Ying looked at Wei Ziqing and Little Dragon Maiden, who were silent yet shared a lingering affection. Her eyes held a hint of longing: “Their relationship is not simple, is it?”

“I don’t know, perhaps!” Yang Guo looked at the two of them, his gaze also carrying a complex expression: “Back then, although I entered the Ancient Tomb, Brother Wei met Madam before I did. She missed him very much, I know that, but Brother Wei… perhaps he did not know…”

Yang Guo had seen his Madam staring blankly alone in the secret room countless times. He was not a fool; he understood that all of this was because of Wei Ziqing.

Huo Du had just defeated Liu Ziliu. He should have been the center of attention, but Wei Ziqing had stolen the spotlight, which already made him unhappy.

Now, seeing a woman as beautiful as Little Dragon Maiden ignore all the heroes in the world to look lovingly at Wei Ziqing, hatred rose in his heart. He said coldly, “This is the Wulin Hero Assembly, not your private bedroom. If you want to be intimate, find another place. Do not embarrass yourselves here!”

Wei Ziqing had just been invited by Huang Rong to fight Huo Du, and he had originally intended to refuse.

But now, this damn Huo Du was truly disgusting. This made Wei Ziqing, who previously did not want to act, suddenly change his mind.

He turned around and looked at Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who were watching him, and said, “If you want me to act, fine. I agree!”

After speaking, he ignored Huang Rong and Guo Jing, who breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He looked at Little Dragon Maiden with great tenderness: “You…”

“Go!” Little Dragon Maiden gave a beautiful smile. She rarely smiled, but for some reason, she, who usually showed no emotion, smiled today. She smiled so beautifully that it felt as if Heaven and Earth brightened along with it.

Perhaps it was because she had seen Wei Ziqing?

“Mm!” Wei Ziqing nodded and then slowly walked toward Huo Du. As he passed, the crowd automatically moved aside to create a path.

“You want to compete with the young prince?” Huo Du looked dissatisfied. His voice became loud, echoing through the entire Lu Family Manor: “This battle is for each person to fight for their own Teacher. You are a nameless person; what right or ability do you have to stand here? Get lost!”

Wei Ziqing frowned and looked at Huo Du. Already disliking him, he said coldly, “Do you know who I hate most in my life?”

“Who?” Huo Du was slightly stunned and asked without thinking.

“People who have no actual strength but are only experts at talking. Such people are more disgusting than the old women who only know how to make scenes in the streets!”

Hahaha!

Hearing Wei Ziqing’s words, the crowd of heroes suddenly burst into laughter. Even the corners of Little Dragon Maiden’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

“Kid, you’ve gone too far!” Huo Du was stunned. He didn’t know why the crowd suddenly laughed. After thinking for a moment, he realized why and became furious.

Huo Du was extremely proud. To be insulted by Wei Ziqing as being worse than an old woman making a scene in the street—how could he remain calm?

Immediately, he thrust his folding fan straight toward the top of Wei Ziqing’s head. The attack came so suddenly and was filled with lethal intent from the start!

Everyone had just seen that Huo Du’s martial arts were impressive and that he was a First-Rate Expert. If that fan hit Wei Ziqing’s head, he would either die or be seriously injured. The crowd suddenly cried out in alarm.

“Stop!”

“Despicable and shameless, to attack so suddenly!”

“Is this the style of a Mongolian prince? Truly shameless!”

Little Dragon Maiden’s expression also changed. She was about to act, but she suddenly saw a cold sneer flash in Wei Ziqing’s eyes. Her heart immediately calmed, and she stood silently.

As Huo Du’s fan attack arrived, Wei Ziqing did not move. It was as if he had been frightened stupid by the attack.

“Ridiculous. Is this who the Central Plains Wulin sent up? Truly a fancy pillow—looks good but is useless!”

Huo Du’s face was full of cold sneers. He had thought this man’s martial arts were decent, but he didn’t expect him to be a waste who was scared stupid the moment he attacked!

However, the next scene caused Huo Du’s pupils to shrink violently.

Just as his fan was about to hit the top of Wei Ziqing’s head, the fan seemed to be attracted by something. It slid directly past Wei Ziqing’s cheek.

“How is this possible?” Huo Du’s face was full of disbelief!

This strange occurrence was beyond his imagination. He had clearly aimed for the top of Wei Ziqing’s head, and the man had not moved at all. Why did his strike miss?

“A fancy pillow? If I am one, then what are you?” Wei Ziqing snorted. At this moment, he finally moved!

The instant he dodged Huo Du’s fan, he did not move the Azure Light Sword. Instead, he formed a Sword Finger and pointed it straight at Huo Du’s chest.

That point seemed so ordinary!

It was so ordinary that no one could tell how powerful the finger was. However, upon being hit, Huo Du seemed to suffer a terrifying blow. His entire body flew straight backward, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he crashed hard onto the ground. It was unknown if he was alive or dead!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Everyone looked in disbelief at Wei Ziqing, who stood on the stage with a face that was still completely calm.

They did not understand what Wei Ziqing had done. Why did that ordinary finger have such terrifying power?

With just one finger, Huo Du, a First-Rate Expert, had been left in a state where his life was uncertain!

How terrifying was this?

Sun Bu’er and the others especially had looks of total disbelief on their faces. They could not believe that this scene had happened right before their eyes!

But soon, cold sweat poured down their faces. They suddenly realized in horror that if Wei Ziqing had used that finger on them, then they would have been…

The Golden Wheel Dharma King’s previously calm face was now terrifyingly gloomy. He looked coldly at the youth on the stage, and then suddenly burst into loud laughter: “This young brother’s sword technique is indeed impressive. I wonder, where did you learn your skills?”
