Chapter 469: Mature Boy and Childish Girl
Just as Changqing was feeling uneasy, in the next moment, he felt his body was out of control. He was lifted up and violently pulled into the gate, disappearing into the darkness behind the hall. The gate then closed.
Several guards lowered their heads and hid far away, fearing that they would be affected. How disloyal...
The hall was extremely empty and there were no lights. It was pitch black at night and one could only vaguely see a bed and a few wisps of gauze on the high platform.
The moonlight came in through the window, with a hint of paleness.
Fortunately, the woman did not intend to embarrass Changqing. She put him under the platform and withdrew her magical powers.
"How do you feel now?" Shangguan Qiuying asked coquettishly.
"It feels worse~" Changqing answered truthfully.
"Ha!" Shangguan Qiuying was a little angry and laughed:
"In the past, there were many people who came to see me, all wanting to establish a relationship with me, but you, on the other hand, wanted to stay away from me. Why? Am I so scary?"
"It's not the seniors who are scary, but people often do things that are beyond their expectations when it comes to interests."
"Is that so?" Shangguan Qiuying's voice became a little quieter.
"I..." Before Chang Qing could finish his words, the powerful pressure from the high platform came directly from above his head, forcing Chang Qing, who was unable to avoid it, to bend his body slightly.
"Humph, do you really think you are a peerless person? How dare you speak to me like this? All I did before was just for the sake of Wudao Tea. Don't refuse my toast and then drink the forfeit!"
The pressure became even greater with the cold snort, perhaps he was really angry.
The woman was decisive. Seeing that Chang Qing had guessed his intention, she stopped pretending and just used force.
Under the heavy pressure, Chang Qing felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. His bones kept making crisp sounds and his body bent a little more.
"Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Qiuying looked at Changqing. Under such heavy pressure, even a cultivator at the Yundan realm had to bow down, but Changqing's body only bent slightly.
This aroused Shangguan Qiuying's desire to win, and she was determined to make Changqing kneel in front of her today.
The pressure continued to increase. Changqing clenched his teeth and tensed all his muscles, constantly resisting the tremendous weight.
"This is the mind of a peerless person, this is how you treat guests?"
After Chang Qing finished speaking, he raised his head abruptly and looked directly at the beautiful figure under the veil on the high platform.
"You want me to kneel, but someone once told me that the people have stood up. From now on, I will only kneel to my parents, not to the sky, not to the earth, and certainly not to those who bully others!"
Drops of blood continued to flow out from his clenched teeth. In the face of shocked gazes, he not only did not kneel down, but stood even straighter.
Shangguan Qiuying took a few deep breaths. She didn't expect to meet an unusual junior today. "This person is so proud, rarely seen in this world!"
The pressure was pervasive and instead of stopping, it intensified.
Chang Qing below still did not kneel down. He kept backing away, trying to raise his head and looking at the person in the shadow with a burning gaze.
Shangguan Qiuying looked at the stubborn eyes, her mind was shaken, and she felt inexplicably that the unyielding look touched her heart, as if what she did was not right.
Thinking that the Enlightenment Tea was not yet in hand and it would not be a good thing for the situation to become too awkward, Shangguan Qiuying put away her pressure and looked at Changqing deeply.
"You are quite courageous. Fortunately, you met me, otherwise, you would not have the opportunity to say such bold words~" Shangguan Qiuying began to find a way out for herself.
Changqing's body suddenly relaxed, and as his injuries had not yet healed, he sat on the ground in a daze, gasping for breath.
He didn't know what made the woman change her mind, but he didn't think it was because she was soft-hearted.
Changqing just lay on the ground, breathing quietly, no longer talking, waiting for the other party to play a card.
"Didn't you say you stood up? Why are you lying down again now?" the woman on the platform asked again.
"Senior, you lie down, and I lie down too. This is relatively fair. It's like being slapped by your senior. I'm not in the mood to give you a full smile~"
"Hiss, logically speaking, I killed Song Lian and saved your life. Don't you want to take something to repay the favor?" Shangguan Qiuying started to play the favor card.
"Senior, please know why I did that. The law prohibiting the sale of spirit slaves in Xiongshan City was set by you personally. Under your management, there are still two such large dens. Doesn't it mean that you, as the leader of the Yuhai League, are a little lax in your work... I am also helping you solve your difficulties, so the credit should also belong to you~ I paid for my injuries and medicine myself, so why is it your turn to ask for something now?"
Chang Qing's words were well-reasoned, and Shangguan Qiuying's brows were throbbing with veins. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this guy was right, and it seemed that it was really her own mistake~
"Really? Lingran's Enlightenment Tea has thousands of varieties nowadays, but legend has it that only the one in your hand is the real one. Name a price, and I promise I won't bargain!"
Shangguan Qiuying said that she had some family background and could guarantee this matter.
"Senior, do you really mean what you said?"
"Natural~"
"Then I really have something to ask. Senior, how about you drive the South China Sea monsters back to the South China Sea? If you can do it, let alone one piece, what's the harm in getting ten pieces of enlightenment tea leaves?!"
"You are trying to embarrass me on purpose, right? There are eighteen peerless monsters in the South China Sea. If I could suppress them all by myself, I would have become an immortal long ago!" Shangguan Qiuying rolled her eyes. What Changqing said sounded like a daydream.
"It turns out that the senior is not omnipotent..."
"It's just a pity for the people in the Southern Region~" Chang Qing sighed and stood up.
Shangguan Qiuying became even more furious after hearing this: "You..."
Seeing Changqing was about to leave, Shangguan Qiuying suppressed her anger and hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Wait a minute, how about this, when the Yuling Sect encounters a crisis, I will help resolve the crisis a few times, how about this?"
Chang Qing was stunned, and sighed slightly:
"I think you know that the Yuling Sect has Bing Zun behind them, and they can protect themselves even in the chaos of the South China Sea monsters. If the Yuling Sect really encounters a crisis that is difficult to resolve, I think it will be the time when the Mirage Dragon Ancient Road is opened. At that time, let alone the Yuling Sect, I am afraid that you will find it difficult to protect yourself."
Changqing's idea is more pessimistic, but it is indeed the case.
Shangguan Qiuying dejected. Changqing's analysis made sense and she couldn't refute it.
However, Chang Qing still took out a small box and placed it on the steps, saying, "Senior, I would like to thank you for your kindness..."
Changqing turned around and was about to leave.
The moment Shangguan Qiuying saw the small box appear, she couldn't believe it. She had tried every trick before, no matter how hard she tried, but the boy had refused to give it to her. But now he just gave her a piece for free. It showed that this man was loyal and acted as he pleased without any restraint.
This young man's style of doing things really impressed her.
Changqing gave Shangguan Qiuying a somewhat mysterious feeling. What kind of power could cultivate such an outstanding young man?
Looking at the small box stained with moonlight on the steps, Shangguan Qiuying felt embarrassed to take it. Thinking of the angry and coercive means just now, it seemed as if she was the child in comparison.
"Um... can you make tea? I'm not very good at it..."
