Kapitel 16: I Don’t like Men
The newcomer was none other than Mo Qingkuang. He coldly stared at Song Qian, feeling a tingling sensation in his palm.
Although Song Qian's conduct was arrogant, his strength lived up to his reputation. In their previous clash, Mo Qingkuang felt that Song Qian's palm was as hard as iron and incredibly dense.
Despite Mo Qingkuang's proficiency in high-level martial arts and his deep foundation, he didn't gain much advantage.
"Who are you?" Song Qian exclaimed in a mixture of shock and anger, filled with resentment. He was so close to unveiling the face of Princess Han, revealing the celebrated beauty that the entire Tianxuan admired.
This person seemingly appeared out of nowhere, absorbed his angry palm strike without a scratch, and even managed to retreat with a woman without being thrown back as far as he himself was.
At the door of the hall, Zhong Nian, who had been keeping an eye on Mo Qingkuang, was astonished!
Was this a genius cultivated by some hidden family? He could actually contend with Song Qian and seemed to have the upper hand!
So, he was indeed a genius qualified to compete with Song Qian.
"Kuang Qing!" In the hall, Mo Qingkuang smiled and said casually, "I'm just a hero saving a beauty."
"A hero saving a beauty? Since when do heroes hide their heads and show their tails?" Song Qian sneered. "Disciples of the Yuan Sword Sect, gather around me!"
With a clatter, numerous disciples of the Yuan Sword Sect gathered around Song Qian, forming an encirclement.
"If you have the guts, take off that hat! Let us witness the hero's demeanour!" Song Qian declared, determined to expose Mo Qingkuang.
Seeing Song Qian's fiery expression, the royal family members on Han Yan'er's side, numbering close to a hundred, also gathered, and the two sides confronted each other once again.
"I once made a vow that whoever sees my face, I will marry. Do you want to marry me? Let me tell you, I don't like men." Mo Qingkuang pretended to shake his head with difficulty.
Laughter erupted from the crowd, and upon seeing Song Qian's almost fiery expression, they had to stifle their laughter.
In the past dozen years of his profligate life, Mo Qingkuang had surpassed his ancestor Mo Fan in the art of ridiculing others. However, his verbal jabs had unintentionally hit Han Yan'er's sore spot.
'Are you mocking me? Don't you know that just now, because of this vow, Song Qian almost became my nominal husband?'
'Don't think that saving me earlier can excuse your disrespectful words! I am, after all, the esteemed Princess Han of Tianxuan!'
Han Yan'er gave Mo Qingkuang a fierce glare, weakly saying, "Until when do you plan to keep holding me?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingkuang realized that he still had Hanyan's slender waist in his grasp. Through his fingertips and the thin fabric of her dress, he felt a silky and smooth sensation.
Being in such close proximity, the faint fragrance emanating from Hanyan's body, a delicate fragrance unique to young women, also subtly entered Mo Qingkuang's nostrils, making him somewhat uneasy.
Quickly releasing his hand, he muttered in a low voice with little respect, "Sorry, I had to act quickly."
"Hmph!" Han Yan'er gave him another disdainful look, taking out a pill from her bosom and swallowing it to recover from her weakened state.
Listening to Mo Qingkuang's teasing remarks, Song Qian was infuriated and ready to retaliate.
But then, someone beside him shouted, "Senior Brother Song, this person is that womanizing fool who plucks flowers everywhere! He colluded with Lin Yang to injure me and even dared to arrogantly claim that you are not to be feared!"
This person was none other than Zhuang Fan, who was injured by Lin Yang when they blocked the road earlier. Lin Yang hadn't returned to the hall yet, so he vented all his anger on Mo Qingkuang, who was wearing a hat.
Everyone turned their eyes to Mo Qingkuang. Clad in black and masked, he had a bunch of flowers tied to his belt behind him. Indeed, he perfectly matched the image of the rumoured 'flower addict.'
Han Yan'er also noticed the flowers behind Mo Qingkuang and exclaimed, "So, you are the flower addict."
So, Mo Qingkuang was the so-called 'flower addict who didn't respond to his summons, and he collaborated with Lin Yang to injure his subordinates!
With new and old grudges combined, Song Qian couldn't contain his anger. He clenched his teeth, stared at Han Yan'er, and said in a deep voice, "Princess Han, this person has insulted me deeply! Let's temporarily set aside our previous conflict. I'll also give you this Barrier-Breaking Pill! As long as you don't interfere in the matter between me and him!"
As long as Han Yan agreed, he would immediately lead the disciples of the Yuan Sword Sect to capture Mo Qingkuang.
Han Yan looked at Mo Qingkuang, but he remained indifferent, seemingly not caring whether she would betray him or not.
Little did she know that Mo Fan had already told Mo Qingkuang that Han Yan placed great importance on emotions. With a life-saving grace and a promise to protect her dignity, she wouldn't repay kindness with enmity.
Han Yan'er didn't disappoint Mo Fan's expectations and coldly said, "You insulted me deeply! How about I settle the score with you? This person who just saved my life is a friend of our royal family. The Hán Family doesn't have the habit of betraying friends!"
"Good! Saved Princess Han, he's our friend too!" People from the royal family also shouted in response, their emotions running high.
***
At the entrance of the hall, Lin Yang and Chu Yanran arrived belatedly. They had searched through ten flower pavilions and found that one of the flower fields had been destroyed. They could only reluctantly come to the main hall.
The scene before them suddenly puzzled them.
"Friends, have you just arrived?" Seeing Lin Yang and Chu Yanran, Zhong Nian's eyes lit up, and he approached them to greet.
"Hello, I am Lin Yang from the Yuan Sword Sect. Could you please explain what has happened inside the hall?" Lin Yang clasped his fists in salute and inquired.
"Well..." Zhong Nian hesitated for a moment and made a distinctive hand gesture.
Chu Yanran took out a large ingot of silver, about twenty taels, and tossed it to Zhong Nian, saying disdainfully, "Speak quickly!"
Zhong Nian chuckled awkwardly, "I am just earning for a living. Hehe."
"If you want to know something, I will definitely tell you everything!" Zhong Nian continued.
"What happened inside the hall?" Lin Yang frowned and asked.
"This...it's a long story."
"Then make it short!"
"Alright, let me put it briefly!"
Zhong Nian then explained the conflict between Song Qian and Han Yan'er over the Barrier-Breaking Pill, and the sudden appearance of Mo Qingkuang, who seemed to be on par with Song Qian. In the process, Zhong Nian also revealed Mo Qingkuang's alias, 'Kuang Qing.'
"So, his name is Kuang Qing. He's quite formidable, actually able to contend with Song Qian." Lin Yang muttered.
He couldn't have imagined that in the near future, he would adopt a clumsy method, using the alias Yang Lin to travel the world, just like Mo Qingkuang.
"Brother Lin! Do you know this Kuang Qing? Earlier, our senior brother from the Yuan Sword Sect, Zhuang Fan, said you and Kuang Qing teamed up to injure him," Zhong Nian suddenly recalled Zhuang Fan's words and connected Lin Yang's name to it.
"Zhuang Fan? Do we need to team up to injure him?" Lin Yang sneered, not taking it seriously.
"Yanran, let's go join the fun. Since we're here, how can we leave without gaining anything? I must secure the first spot for the inner disciple position!" Lin Yang said, leading Chu Yanran towards the hall.
