Qiu Chou
The next day, early in the morning, a gentle breeze blew up the fallen leaves on the ground. Zhuowen woke up early and began to meticulously practice his fist techniques in the spacious courtyard.
The pavilion that Zhuowen and Grandmaster Cang Mu lived in was quite large. It was one of Grandmaster Cang Mu's properties in Broken Rock City. After all, Grandmaster Cang Mu was a Grade 8 Arcana Master and was naturally quite wealthy. In a super city like Broken Rock City, it was not a problem for him to buy ten mansions.
The wind from his fists whistled, causing the air to vibrate.
After practicing a few sets of fist techniques, the sun slowly rose. Soon, it was noon.
Raising his head to look at the scorching sun in the sky, Zhuowen withdrew his fists and stood up. Then, he walked out of the courtyard with a majestic gait and headed towards the center of Broken Rock City.
"It's time to help Qiu Chou get rid of the Extreme Frost in his body. After all, the Thunder Dragon Wings are an important item. I need to get them as soon as possible!" As he walked, Zhuowen secretly thought to himself.
Following his memory, Zhuowen walked towards the end of the street in Broken Rock City. After a while, he stopped in front of a rather inconspicuous shop.
At this moment, the door of the shop was ajar. After looking around and confirming that no one was paying attention, Zhuowen directly pushed the door open and entered.
The interior was still the same as before. The surrounding shelves were filled with half-finished wooden carvings. On the counter in the depths of the shop, Qiu Chou, with a scar on his face, was focused on carving wood. Perhaps he was too focused and did not notice Zhuowen's arrival at all.
In the shop, there were three people browsing through the wooden carvings on the shelves. There were two men and one woman. The three of them were dressed extravagantly, and it was obvious that they were either wealthy or respectable people. Behind the three of them, there were several fully armed burly men respectfully following behind them.
When Zhuowen entered, the three of them tilted their heads to take a look. However, when they saw that the one who entered was an ordinary youth, they turned their heads again and lazily continued to browse the wooden carvings on the shelves.
After the three of them turned around, Zhuowen sized them up a few times. Two of the men were quite handsome, but their necks were raised high, as if they were the best in the world. This caused Zhuowen's evaluation of them to be greatly reduced.
The other woman wasn't very old, around twenty years old. She wore a blue and white tight dress, and her figure appeared exquisite and voluptuous under the outline of the dress. The two men beside her occasionally glanced at the woman's alluring figure, and a hint of covetousness flashed past the depths of their eyes.
Zhuowen did not pay any attention to the people in the store. Instead, he strode directly towards Qiu Chou, who was in the depths of the store. Just as he passed by the three people in front of him, a pure white hand suddenly blocked Zhuowen's way.
"Hmm?"
Zhuowen frowned as he looked at the woman who had suddenly stopped him. He was confused because he didn't seem to know this woman!
"Master Qiu does not like to be disturbed when he is carving. Therefore, please leave immediately!" The pretty lady looked down at Zhuo Wen in a condescending manner as she spoke in an indifferent voice.
The woman's voice was gentle, but her tone contained a trace of dominance and unquestionable meaning.
"Could it be that they also know that this ordinary looking Qiu Chou is somewhat unusual?" Seeing that the woman in front of him was so considerate of Qiu Chou, Zhuowen could not help but be stunned.
Compared to Zhuowen's doubts, the woman in front of him was full of depression. She had heard from the family elders that the owner of this store was an extremely powerful expert. Therefore, the young girl was not to casually offend this person. Otherwise, when the time came, it would cause trouble for the family.
Therefore, the woman believed that the owner of the store must be an expert. She came over almost every day to help Qiu Chou manage the store with the goal of becoming his disciple. Moreover, she asked about his well-being, hoping that Qiu Chou would accept her and teach her a move or two. However, Qiu Chou did not care about her concern. Every time she came, she would be treated coldly. This was something that the rather arrogant woman could not accept.
With the woman's originally arrogant character, being treated so coldly by Qiu Chou naturally filled her heart with resentment. However, her resentment naturally would not be directed at the unfathomable Qiu Chou. Now, Zhuowen, who had suddenly barged in, was used as a punching bag by her.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhuowen indifferently glanced at the woman and said: "Remove your dog's paw. Can't you see that I want to go in?"
"What?
Say it again? "
The woman could not help but be stunned when she heard Zhuowen's words. It was as if she could not believe what she had heard. Her tone became heavier as she said.
"Can you not be so despicable as a person?
I scolded you once and you insist on hearing it a second time. How despicable can you be?
Since you insist on hearing it a second time, I'll satisfy you!
I said, remove your dog's paw immediately and open your dog eyes wide. I'm going in now. "Shaking his head, Zhuowen held his forehead and said with a helpless look.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat strange. The woman's cheeks paled, then turned green, then green, then white. A thick layer of killing intent surfaced in her beautiful eyes. Pointing at Zhuowen, she shouted: "Do you know who I am?
I am the niece of the Zhao Clan's first young master, Zhao Youting. If you immediately kneel down and break your own arms, this lady will not pursue the matter of your rude words just now. "
"Zhao Youting's people again?
What a troublesome fellow. "
With a cold snort, Zhuowen waved his right hand and slapped the woman's jade-like hand away. He was about to directly enter the counter.
"Damn it!
Do you want to die? "
The lady did not expect that Zhuo Wen would actually continue to act in his own way without any scruples after hearing the name of the Zhao Clan. Immediately, her face was abnormally furious. Her jade-like hand suddenly waved and was wrapped in intense Yuan Power as it slapped towards Zhuo Wen's back.
Feeling the strong wind behind him, Zhuowen's eyes flickered with a cold light. He had already been merciful by not attacking directly. The woman's cultivation was only at the Initial Human King Realm. If Zhuowen really attacked, he could immediately cripple her. However, he did not do so.
However, now that the woman had taken an inch and wanted a mile, Zhuowen did not restrain her. He shook his shoulder and a powerful Yuan Power suddenly spread out. Then, he turned around and threw out a punch. Suddenly, an invisible ring-shaped air wave appeared in the air and violently collided with the strong wind behind him like an air explosion.
Puff!
Zhuo Wen stood motionless like a boulder. However, the lady who wanted to launch a sneak attack suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood as if she had been struck by lightning. Subsequently, she shot backwards like a fallen leaf.
Upon seeing this, the two men behind her immediately unleashed their Yuan Power and violently caught the flying lady. However, the enormous force caused the two of them to involuntarily stagger.
"What a powerful force!"
Feeling the huge force in their hands, the two men were shocked. They looked at Zhuowen with a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Brat!
You will not have a good ending if you offend our Zhao Clan. Moreover, Master Qiu's strength is not something we can compare to. If you disturb Master Qiu, I'm afraid you will die miserably. "
The woman held her chest and her breathing became rapid. When she saw that Zhuowen still intended to walk toward Qiu Chou, who was still concentrating on carving, the resentment on her face became more intense. She said coldly.
Based on her interactions with Qiu Chou over the past few days, she could feel that Qiu Chou was an extremely cold person. Moreover, his hidden strength was extremely powerful. After all, even the elders of their Zhao Clan did not dare to offend Qiu Chou. Naturally, he was very powerful.
Therefore, when she saw that Zhuowen was still walking toward Qiu Chou, the woman's face was not shocked. Instead, she was happy.
"Looks like there is no need for our Zhao Clan to take action. This brat is so arrogant and despotic. Once he disturbs Master Qiu, he will definitely be dissatisfied and angry. At that time, I will be able to see Master Qiu take action with my own eyes. Humph, this brat will definitely die this time!" The woman thought viciously in her heart.
After the woman's rather vicious warning, Zhuowen only shrugged his shoulders. He walked in front of Qiu Chou at the counter and snatched the wooden carving from his hand. He muttered, "Old man, you are still pretending. Don't you want to get rid of the hidden danger in your body?"
Seeing Zhuowen snatch the wooden carving from Qiu Chou's hand without any scruples, the woman could not help but be stunned. However, the cold sneer in her heart became even more intense. She knew that Zhuowen had completely offended Qiu Chou. With Qiu Chou's cold and perverse temperament, he would definitely not let the young man in front of him off easily.
Just as the woman continued to sneer in her heart and thought that Zhuowen would definitely be killed by Qiu Chou on the spot, she saw Qiu Chou slowly raise his head. After looking at the young man in front of him, a rare smile appeared on his ferocious face. This smile was something that the woman had never seen before.
"Little brother, you are indeed a man of your word. Today, you have indeed come to the shop as promised!"
Slowly putting down the carving knife in his hand, the smile on Qiu Chou's face became even more intense. It was so intense that it had even reached a level of enthusiasm.
At the entrance of the shop, the woman, who was supported by two men, could not help but feel her mind go blank when she saw the enthusiastic smile on Qiu Chou's face. She had never thought that Qiu Chou, who was known for being cold and indifferent, would actually reveal such an enthusiastic smile. This really caused the woman's mind to be unable to wrap itself around it.
"What is the background of this kid?
Even Master Qiu is so enthusiastic towards him … "The woman's lips squirmed a little, but she was rather bitter as she muttered to herself. At the same time, a thick feeling of unwillingness slowly rose from her heart.
Thinking back, for so many consecutive days, she had worked like a horse for Qiu Chou and served him like a servant. However, Qiu Chou simply did not care about her. However, now that this unfamiliar young man had appeared, he actually became so enthusiastic. This caused the woman to feel extremely wronged in her heart.
"My heart is thinking about that piece of metal. Naturally, I want to conclude the deal between us as soon as possible. After all, we are only taking what we need." Zhuowen said with a lazy smile.
"That's true!"
Qiu Chou nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to speak, the woman, who had been ignored all this time, suddenly opened her mouth.
The woman bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth and said somewhat hesitantly, "Master Qiu …"
Qiu Chou, who had been interrupted, frowned slightly as he glanced at the woman and said indifferently, "There is no need to call me Master Qiu. I have never said that I wanted to take you as my disciple. Also, you don't have to come in the future. I am very clear about the tricks in your heart …"
