Chapter 143: Chapter 92: Times Change

Who among the people present did not know of the subtle relationship between Qin Ming, Wang Caiwei, Cui Chong, and Li Qingxu? It seemed that they had not yet gathered together.

Some people appeared intrigued, quietly awaiting the drama to unfold.

"Maybe you should leave first." Lu Zhenyi whispered to Qin Ming.

"Some things are better when spoken openly." Zheng Maoze came over, his robust hand on Qin Ming’s shoulder, showing closeness and righteousness.

He solemnly said, "I heard you were injured two years ago, but it was a misunderstanding. I’ll talk to Li Qingxu later, it was originally none of your business."

A group of acquaintances knew past matters, Li Qingxu knew Wang Caiwei very early on, yet the Wang family was allied with the Cui Family, the noble lady once roamed with Qin Ming, but Cui Chong was the rightful partner.

Involving a thousand-year-old family, plus such complex relationships, if word got out, it would certainly become a popular topic among ordinary folks in the streets.

Even the old acquaintances present could not suppress the "gossip fire" within them, eager to witness the scene when these four people meet.

Lu Zhenyi and Chen Bingyan were okay, but those who arrived later had less interaction with Qin Ming in the past.

Such unfamiliarity meant no excuses, their eyes burning with anticipation, waiting to witness a scene bound to be indelicate.

Qin Ming remained composed, Zheng Maoze’s intimacy by placing his hand on his shoulder, purportedly to help him, was actually to stop him, to prevent him from leaving.

"Da Zheng, since you bring up the past, let me mention as well. Your younger brother has been very active lately, continuously fanning the flames, giving people hints, I don’t know if he wants someone to get rid of me, or to lure Cui Chong out of the Outer World, thus harming him, what exactly does your brother intend?" Qin Ming said so publicly.

"What’s the situation?" Some Outer Disciples were surprised, it involved Cui Chong too? Some unfamiliar young men and women also turned their heads.

Zheng Maoze regretted it a bit, even though this youngster could be knocked from the clouds into the quagmire with a stick, his intrinsic nature hadn’t changed, still formidable.

"Qin Ming, don’t talk nonsense!" He spoke no longer in a teasing tone, his expression slightly cold; such matters truly shouldn’t be carelessly discussed.

Qin Ming merely retaliated, some things are best left at a hint.

He sighed in his heart, he really did not want to reunite with these people.

At this stage, he didn’t want to deal with this circle at all.

He was only here to meet Qing Xu, to report the latest news gathered by the Talking Sparrow’s bird brothers, and he would leave immediately after discussing official matters.

Who would have thought, a group of outsiders would appear just in time like this.

It seemed rather coincidental, Qin Ming suspected, did some people deliberately come here to stop Ling Xu?

He realized, the waters were deep, and quite muddy, if some people from the Outer World were backing the Golden Thief, then tonight might be difficult!

Qin Ming’s original intention in returning to Black and White Mountain was merely to resolve the hidden problems left by Jinji Ridge and to ensure Shuangshu Village was safe, he didn’t want to get involved in the complicated situation at hand.

This was already beyond the "dangerous boundary" he could tread!

"If you must leave early, then let me accompany you." Chen Bingyan looked at Qin Ming.

"Why the rush? It’s rare for old friends to gather." Zeng Yuan said with a smile, having been quiet earlier.

Qin Ming stared deeply at him, their relationship was reasonably good in the past, now he was like Zheng Maoze, trying to prevent him from leaving.

People present knew, Zeng Yuan was now closely related to Li Qingxu.

There were a few other not very familiar faces, all silently observing, knowing that Qin Ming’s fortunes had ended, but would not frivolously step forward to make any gesture, only wanting to witness the "four people on stage" next.

From afar, Ling Xu looked over this way and said, "Xiao Qin, it’s time for you to go, we are short on people tonight, you need to make another trip."

Qin Ming responded, and then, facing the acquaintances present, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, duty calls, I must leave now."

Zheng Maoze and Zeng Yuan wanted him to stay for a "catch-up," but didn’t dare anger a City Lord, especially someone with such a notorious reputation as Ling Xu.

"Send Xiao Qin off." Ling Xu gestured, a man in gray clothes quickly came from a distance.

"This kid is good, let me accompany him as well." Li Huamao spoke up, carrying the Crimson Sword, leading the way with light steps.

Qin Ming knew, even he had his suspicions, Ling Xu and others must understand it better, the appearance of outsiders was no coincidence, someone was indeed waiting for him here.

After reaching the town’s outskirts, the three-feet-tall Li Huamao instantly transformed into a lightning bolt, searching nearby, soon bringing out a black-clothed man covered in blood from the woods.

"We were ambushed, there are people nearby supporting the Golden Thief, they are likely to take this route." The black-clothed man informed weakly.

"It’s time to act, you escort him away!" Li Huamao turned to the gray-clothed man.

Qin Ming hesitated none, immediately summoning the Crimson Eagle, leaping on. At such a time, he wouldn’t discuss staying to contribute, unnecessary, just adding more blood into the mud, top level combat naturally involves higher-level powerhouses participating.

The gray-clothed man stood on a slightly smaller, but more spirited silver Raptor, escorting Qin Ming away from the Yinteng Town area.

"Clang!"

In the pitch-black night, amidst the continuous mountain ranges, a bell sound piercing the skies suddenly rang out.

The bell sounds surged one wave higher than the next, on that ink-soaked mountain, purple mist steamed, the incessant bell ringing exploded, as if thousands of troops were charging.

It was like a set of chimes, stirring up mysterious energy, blocking off that mountain range.

The gray-clothed man on the silver Raptor looked back, somewhat nervous, closely monitoring.
