Everyone saw Hua Wu Que suddenly appear and immediately stopped, turning to look at Zhao Min. They were ready to chop this pretty boy to pieces, as long as she gave the order!
Zhao Min wasn’t annoyed at the interruption. She shook her folding fan and said in a clear voice, “Young master, you’re blocking my search for my wife. Isn’t that against the principles of the martial arts world?”
Hua Wu Que saw her appearance, a beautiful woman, and hearing her name, he already knew who she was. He then mimicked her, shaking his fan and said, “Young master, you’re blocking my duel. Isn’t that against the principles of the martial arts world?”
Xiao Long Nu stood behind him, expressionless. She thought that this man was no good, just like the last one, full of flowery words.
Zhao Min heard him imitating her speech and was furious. “The time for the duel has passed. Don’t bother me here! Do you people in the Central Plains martial arts world have no rules?” She saw Hua Wu Que’s movements and knew he was skilled in martial arts. She didn’t want any more complications that could ruin her plans. She tried to use words to provoke him to leave.
“No, no.” Hua Wu Que shook his head and closed his folding fan. “I came here not for Miss Long. You might be mistaken.”
Zhao Min thought he fell for her plan and felt disdainful in her heart, but on her face, she smiled. “So it is. Zhao was mistaken. I don’t know what you’re here for, young master. If you need anything, Zhao will help in any way she can.”
“It’s okay, okay. This matter is not something you can help with. I came here for one thing, to propose to you. Please go back with me, get married soon, and ease my longing for you.” Hua Wu Que shook his head and swayed, pretending to be lovesick.
Xiao Long Nu, standing behind him, understood his words. It turned out she had misunderstood him. She nodded, thinking that this man was a sentimental person, and it turned out that men could also love each other.
Zhao Min wasn’t as naive as Xiao Long Nu. She knew that the other party saw through her disguise and had been teasing her all along. She was furious and said, “I didn’t expect Zhao Min to be mistaken. You want to marry me? You must have a life first!” As soon as she finished speaking, two old men emerged from behind her. One used a deer-headed short staff, and the other wielded two iron pens. It was obvious that they were skilled in joint techniques, cooperating with each other and attacking Hua Wu Que.
Hua Wu Que whispered behind him, “Take care of yourself. These people are malicious, but watch out for their sneak attacks and poison.” Before Xiao Long Nu could react, he tapped his feet and leaped forward.
The Crane Pen Old Man, confident in his advanced martial arts skills, thought nothing of this young Hua Wu Que, especially with them working together. He casually waved his double crane-beak pens, but unexpectedly felt a strange force pulling his hand, forcing him to attack to the side.
“What are you doing? Aim properly when you attack, okay?!” Deer Staff Old Man, in a panic, dodged backward. He couldn’t understand why the Crane Pen Old Man was going crazy, hitting him continuously.
“No, there’s something weird about this kid. He can deflect our attacks.” Crane Pen Old Man finally realized and quickly explained to him.
They retreated quickly and looked at each other. They knew that although this man was young, he was powerful, and his martial arts style was bizarre. They couldn’t treat him casually anymore.
“Brother, the Profound Darkness Palm!” Crane Pen Old Man shouted loudly. They attacked from left and right, using the Profound Darkness Palm that made them famous throughout the martial arts world!
Guo Jing heard the shout and wanted to go to the rescue, but he was entangled by the Golden Wheel Monk. He quickly shouted, “Little brother, this Profound Darkness Palm is extremely poisonous. Don’t let them hit you!”
“You’re fighting with me and still have the energy to care about others. You’re really pushing your luck!” The monk was furious, seeing that he still had the strength to care for others. He didn’t defend himself, but used desperate moves. For a while, smoke and dust filled the air around them.
Hua Wu Que naturally knew about the famous Profound Darkness Palm. He spun his folding fan in a circle, tossed it up, and tapped his feet. He actually jumped into the encirclement of the two Profound Darkness Old Men. The two were overjoyed, thinking he was scared out of his wits. They were about to strike a fatal blow when they suddenly felt a strong force pulling their hands, losing control, and they slapped each other, flying backward.
The two struggled to get up, and Crane Pen Old Man quickly pulled out the antidote from his sleeve, about to take it, but he heard a cracking sound and quickly looked up. He saw no one in front of him. Looking down, he found that the medicine bottle in his hand had disappeared. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat and looked around.
Hua Wu Que caught the falling fan, opened it gracefully, and fanned a few times. He looked sideways and saw that the cold Xiao Long Nu was expressionless, without any sign of emotion, and couldn’t help but feel a little dejected.
“Young master, you have such beautiful martial arts.” Zhao Min cursed inwardly at the two useless men, took a step forward, and smiled. “Could it be that the famous Wu Que is before me?”
Hua Wu Que tossed the medicine bottle a few times, ignoring the yearning eyes of the two Profound Darkness Old Men. “As expected of someone I like. You’re indeed intelligent. I am indeed Hua Wu Que.” Others didn’t understand what was going on. They only felt that the two men were flirting and complimenting each other, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Min’s face changed slightly. She forcibly suppressed it. “Please be magnanimous, young master, and return the antidote to my two servants. I’ll be eternally grateful.”
