Chapter 70 Qianyun's News

  Sorry about the delay in updating due to some unexpected things, please forgive me! The fourth update will be available soon.

  Due to the speed of Fei Jian, it only took one or two days for Zhang Cheng to arrive at the foot of Bi Xia Shan where Bi Xia Sect was located. In order to give Ouyang Qianyun a surprise, he deliberately got off Fei Jian ahead of time and inquired about the general situation of Bi Xia Sect at the foot of the mountain.

  This Bixia Sect was founded by a certain Bixia Zhenren, who was an expert in the Yuan Ying period. However, Zhang Cheng knew that even experts in the Yuan Ying period were only considered characters in a place like Huaxia Country, and were not worth mentioning on the entire Jingshen Continent.

  Zhang Cheng arrived at the Bi Xia sect and didn't rush in, instead finding a quiet spot to catch a wild game, clean it up, and roast it on the spot.

  Because this place is the territory of the Green Mist Sect, ordinary people and martial artists are afraid, and even ordinary cultivators do not dare to approach, so there is no one here.

  However, just as he was about to roast it, a group of three men and two women suddenly walked over from afar.

  The three men and two women were wearing brocade long gowns, with jade belts around their waists and a long sword on their backs, dressed as if they were cultivators.

  However, the three men and two women's appearances were quite good. The men had fair skin, gentle eyes, and were suitable for being a "little white face" or a "small recipient". The women were tall and curvy, with some charm, but compared to his fiancée Ouyang Qianyun, they were like heaven and earth apart.

  Zhang Cheng took a glance and saw their cultivation, the three men's cultivation had just broken through the Qi Refining stage, while the two women's cultivation was higher, both reaching the middle of the Qi Refining stage.

  He guessed that these five people might be disciples of the Bi Xia Sect above.

  So he came up with the idea of probing the truth, and happened to take a look at Ouyang Qianyun's current situation. If she had already fallen in love with someone else, then he would not pursue her anymore, so as not to add trouble.

  As for Huajing's account, let's keep it on record first and settle it together later.

  But if Ouyang Qianyun still likes him, and someone dares to flirt with her again, then that's just not acceptable. She has to make a strong appearance once and for all, telling others that she already belongs to someone.

  "Hey, kid, don't you know this is the territory of our Bi Xia sect? Who allowed you to barbecue here?" A man shouted at Zhang Cheng with a proud tone, then involuntarily glanced at a woman beside him.

  "Ah, how cliché!" Zhang Cheng thought to himself, then suddenly stood up, his face showing a somewhat silly expression. "I beg your pardon, sirs," he said. "I'm just an ignorant commoner from a nearby village. I was chasing after this beast and ran in here, but now I've lost my way out. It's not intentional disrespect, please forgive me!"

  "Hmm..."

  The man seemed not to believe Zhang Cheng's words and was eager to show off to the woman beside him, so he pretended to be about to leave in order to display his "divine power".

  But just as he was about to say something, the woman next to him stood up and stopped him, saying: "Forget it, looking at him is also a pitiful person, don't make things difficult for him."

  "Now that my sister has spoken, I'll just do as she says!" As he spoke, the young man saw the meat food placed beside Zhang Cheng, who was preparing to roast it. His eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Sister, we've been rushing on the road all day and haven't eaten well along the way. Why don't we let this kid help us roast a meal?"

  "Well, it's fine like this too. I'll give him some money later, so he won't be working for nothing." The woman nodded and said.

  Just as the man just said, it was indeed hard on the way here. All the way, they didn't even have a good meal to eat, and they didn't have any elixir of immortality on them either. At this moment, they were starving, so if there's meat to eat, they would naturally be delighted too.

  "Alright, I'll take care of this." The man turned around and looked at Zhang Cheng, "Okay, kid, since your master has spoken up for you, I won't pursue the crime of trespassing on our Bi Xia sect. However, we still need to punish you a bit. Hmm, how about this? You roast that deer for us to eat. Don't worry, we won't eat it for free!"

  "Gentlemen, if you're willing to eat the meat I've roasted, that's a small person's concession. How could I dare let gentlemen like yourselves spend money? In that case, gentlemen, please wait for a moment, I'll go roast some right away." Zhang Cheng hastily said this, then took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a fire under the roasting rack, and it started burning immediately.

  "Hmm!" The man was pleased with Zhang Cheng's words and secretly decided to give him more money after the meal.

  "Two sisters, please sit down!" Another man with a relatively delicate appearance took the opportunity to show his enthusiasm, walked over and wiped two stone stools with his sleeve, saying.

  "Uh-huh!" The two women nodded and walked over to sit down, while the three men hastily found a few stones beside them and sat down as well.

  "Three junior brothers, this time when we descended the mountain, our failure to complete the task can be said to be mainly due to me. When we return to the mountain later, I will take sole responsibility for it, so you all don't need to say anything." A woman in green clothing said to the three men in front of her.

  "Shen Ying, you're not being fair. If it weren't for us holding you back, this mission would have gone smoothly. So, when we get back to the sect, we'll explain things to Master and make sure she doesn't blame you," a man disagreed.

  "Yes, Shen Ying, this matter is all because of me, you've already done your best." Another man also hastily replied.

  "Hmph, you guys are all talk. If I told you that if you take on this matter, there's a 90% chance you'll be kicked out of the Bi Xia sect. Would you still dare to speak like before?" A red-clothed woman next to Shen Ying snorted and said in an ill-tempered tone.

  "Uh...?" The three men were taken aback, and immediately asked: "Sister Ma Qiu, you're not joking, are you? Just because of a small task, we'll be kicked out of the Bi Xia Sect?"

  "What a small task! Hehe, it's no wonder you think so, this is your entrance task, if you can't complete it, you're not considered a disciple of the Bi Xia sect. You say, is this task a small one?" The woman named Ma Qiu seemed to have expected these men to say so, and a hint of disdain flashed across her face.

  In her opinion, men are all no good, full of nonsense, if Shen Ying hadn't pulled her along, she would have stopped caring about these people long ago.

  "Ah, how could this be, Master Sister? You have to save us! We finally joined the Bi Xia Sect with great difficulty, and now we're going back like this. There's no way we can explain it to our families!" As soon as they heard this, the three men lost all courage to take responsibility.

  Not to mention that they shouldered the heavy responsibility of a large family, even if they themselves did not want to waste this hard-won opportunity.

  So they lost their former spirit and looked at Shen Ying with pitiful eyes, begging.

  "Sister, what's going on? In my opinion, there's no need for you to do this for these guys." Ma Qiu pointed at the three people and said to Shen Ying.

  "Sister, you can't say that. We're all fellow disciples, and we should help each other out. If I can lend a hand, I will. Besides, this matter was indeed my oversight. Otherwise, Sister wouldn't have had to rush over from so far away to help." Shen Ying replied.

  "Hey, you're just too kind." As she spoke, Ma Qiu looked at the three men in front of her with disdain and said, "You guys remember this: if you can stay here, it's all thanks to Shen Shijie's help. In the future... never mind, as long as you don't bully her, that's fine."

  Ma Qiu originally wanted to say "I'll make it up to her in the future", but when she saw the looks on their faces, she really didn't want to say such useless words.

  "Don't worry, Ma Shi Jie, how could we bully Shen Shi Jie? We can't even respect her enough!" The three men said with a look of surprise on their faces.

  "I hope so!" Ma Qiu said casually, then turned to Shen Ying and said: "Sister, it just so happens that we have some time now, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."

  "What's wrong, Sister?" Shen Ying said.

  "It's like this, you and Qianyun Shimei have the best relationship, can't you talk to her and let her not be deceived by Huaying Shixiong? This guy is not a good person at all, and he has ulterior motives for getting close to Qianyun Shimei!" When it comes to Huaying, Ma Qiu grits his teeth in hatred.

  At the same time, Zhang Cheng's body, who was roasting meat on the side, also shook violently, and his hands paused, causing the seasonings in his hand to sprinkle onto the flames, making a sharp "sizzling" sound.
