Chapter 544: Chapter 0546: Heavy Casualties

"Miss Man Sha called me, is there something you needed to discuss?" Chu Ge asked.

Nangong Man Sha let out a coquettish huff and sighed, "If I didn’t call Mr. Chu, you might have forgotten about our agreement."

"Of course, I wouldn’t forget. Hasn’t it been less than a month?"

Through the screen, Chu Ge couldn’t see the expression on Nangong Man Sha’s face, but he could tell from her voice that something bad must have happened.

"What’s the matter, has the Old Master’s illness flared up again?" Chu Ge guessed.

Nangong Man Sha sighed, "Just as Mr. Chu said, my grandfather’s condition has worsened."

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes with suspicion, "What about the Spiritual Liquid I gave you before? Have you been administering it to the Old Master regularly?"

At the mention of this, Nangong Man Sha felt indignant.

With anger, she said: "The Spiritual Liquid that Mr. Chu gave for my grandfather was stolen by my good-for-nothing brother!"

Nangong Yun Hai?

"Your brother?" Chu Ge was puzzled. He had met Nangong Yun Hai a few times. Although raised in luxury and spoiled with a young master’s temperament, Nangong Yun Hai was very conscientious regarding the Old Master’s matters, so how could he do something like stealing the Spiritual Liquid?

Nangong Man Sha seemed to sense the suspicion in Chu Ge’s tone and explained: "It’s not Yun Hai, it’s my cousin from my second uncle’s family, an ignorant brat, he totally infuriates me! My grandfather didn’t mention the Spiritual Liquid’s disappearance to me until his condition flared up."

Chu Ge looked out at the rapidly passing scenery through the window, thinking that the Old Master must be worried they would blame his grandson.

"What about now? How is the Old Master’s condition?"

Nangong Man Sha sighed, "Now my grandfather has been hospitalized, but there hasn’t been any serious problem as of the current moment."

"If you have time, come to Su City, and I’ll give you some more Spiritual Liquid for the Old Master," Chu Ge offered.

Nangong Man Sha nodded. In fact, this was exactly her intent.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge closed his eyes and rested in the back seat.

Huo Tianqian was driving the car and glanced at the rearview mirror with a smile, saying, "Was it a phone call from Miss Man Sha?"

Chu Ge hummed in response.

Huo Tianqian said with a smile, "Mr. Chu, you seem to have quite the romantic fortune recently."

Chu Ge opened his eyes slowly and glared at Huo Tianqian, "What, are you jealous?"

Huo Tianqian choked on his own saliva and coughed several times, shaking his head, "Better not."

Despite Huo Tianqian’s imposing appearance outside, he was utterly henpecked at home. His wife said one, he wouldn’t dare say two. If his wife said to go east, he wouldn’t dare go west.

Thinking about flirting elsewhere, he only dared to fantasize, never daring to actually do it.

Chu Ge scoffed, giving Huo Tianqian a disbelieving look, "You’ve never felt the slightest temptation?"

Huo Tianqian was puzzled, he looked at Chu Ge through the rearview mirror and asked with confusion, "Temptation to what?"

"Have you ever been tempted by other women?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Tianqian laughed. Tempted? Of course, there were temptations.

But life isn’t just about fleeting feelings. Temptation is only for the briefest of moments, just an instant, but what about after the moment passes?

After the moment of temptation, what remains is still the plain daily life.

He had pursued his wife also out of a moment of infatuation, which then led to a relationship, and naturally, marriage and children followed.

He also felt infatuated with other women later, but that was just infatuation, lacking the enthusiasm and the determination to spend a lifetime with someone.

Perhaps this is what is meant by finding the right person.

Huo Tianqian didn’t say a word, nor was Chu Ge particularly insistent on an answer.

After a while, Huo Tianqian asked curiously, "Mr. Chu, haven’t you ever thought about getting married and having children?"

Chu Ge was startled. It was a question he had never considered. He always felt that all his focus was on martial arts cultivation, and he hadn’t spare the time to think about the significant life event of marriage and children.

Chu Ge’s lips parted, but for a moment he didn’t know how to answer the question, and in the end, simply closed his mouth.

At that moment, Chu Ge’s phone rang again. It was a call from Tang Xin.

Chu Ge answered, "Hello."

"Mr. Chu," Tang Xin began, "I just heard from the Tang Sect that the Jianghu Sects have taken action today."

Tang Xin just wanted to call Chu Ge but couldn’t find a suitable reason. She overheard several members of the Tang Sect discussing the matter and inquired about the details, taking the opportunity to call Chu Ge.

Chu Ge was slightly startled. "Taken action?"

Inter-sect censures had always seemed a matter of formality to him, but now it had actually escalated to physical confrontations, which would surely cause turmoil in the world of martial arts.

Yet, they had brazenly attacked without considering the consequences, catching them somewhat off guard.

"Alright, I understand," Chu Ge nodded. Although he was an Ancient Martial Artist, he wasn’t affiliated with any Sect, so these battles didn’t affect him.

The only impact would be that he could relax a bit more in the near future.

With the Sects fighting among themselves, they wouldn’t have the spare effort to trouble him.

He was happy with the quiet.

"Mr. Chu, are you heading to Dang City?" Tang Xin, sensing Chu Ge’s lack of interest in the matter, changed the subject.

"Mm, I’m on the way back to Su City now."

Chu Ge finished speaking and fell silent. On the other end of the phone, Tang Xin also couldn’t find any more topics to continue the conversation.

So she hung up the call.

Huo Tianqian watched Chu Ge with speechlessness, "Mr. Chu, Lady Tang Xin finally made the effort to call you, why not chat a bit more with her?"

Chu Ge looked at him, "What would happen if I didn’t chat with her?"

Huo Tianqian paused, then subconsciously said, "It wouldn’t really matter; at most, she’d be upset for a while."

Chu Ge closed his eyes again without further comment.

Suddenly, as if Huo Tianqian realized something, he coughed lightly and fell silent.

Chu Ge probably guessed that Tang Xin had feelings for him, but a relationship between him and Tang Xin was impossible. Moreover, with the relationship between the Tang Family and the Shen Family, both families intent on matchmaking Tang Xin and Shen Congwen, Chu Ge was even less likely to interfere.

No matter how Tang Xin showed her affection, Chu Ge remained cold and distant.

He believed that this way, Tang Xin would back off, seeing the difficulty.

Huo Tianqian glanced at the rearview mirror and shook his head with a mix of envy and resignation.

Envious because Chu Ge was young and attracted the admiration of many women.

Resigned because Chu Ge was so young and yet uninterested in matters of love, truly wasting his prime years.

At this time, in the world of martial arts, just as Tang Xin said, the Black Witch Sect and the Huayue Sect were almost simultaneously attacked by various Jianghu Sects, suffering heavy casualties...
