C925 It Was Hard to be Pure
Hsu Qiuchan was about to reply when she heard the woman in white lightly cough. Hsu Qiuchan could not help but be slightly startled and quickly said to the woman in white, "Master, this is the Du Qi and Young Master Du that disciple had mentioned to you. " Following that, Hsu Qiuchan introduced to Du Qi, "Young Master Du, this is my master, Poison Fairy Xuanyuan Lanqin."
Du Qi quickly cupped his fists and greeted," Junior Du Qi greets Senior Xuanyuan! "
A strange light flashed in her eyes as she stared at Du Qi. The Poison Fairy, Xuanyuan Lanqin, lightly smiled and said, "Who do I think is so handsome? So it turns out that Du Qi, Young Master Du, no wonder my Chan'er is so preoccupied with food and drinks all day long."
Hsu Qiuchan said in a lovable voice, "Master."
Xuanyuan Lanqin smiled and did not say anything. Hsu Qiuchan pointed at the beautiful purple clothed woman and the old man and said, "This is my master's best friend, 'Medicine Fairy' Chung Mengqi. This is Aunt Cheng's housekeeper, Cheng Liangyou."
Du Qi still cupped his fists and said, "Du Qi greets Aunt Cheng and Housekeeper Cheng!"
Cheng Liangyou smiled back but did not say anything. Chung Mengqi smiled and said, "I did not expect Young Master Du to be so famous but he is so refined and refined. It is really shocking."
Although Du Qi had already cultivated to the Violet Palace Nascent Soul stage, he still habitually restrained his divine aura. If it was not for the fact that he carried a saber and sword on his back and was dressed in martial artist attire, outsiders would definitely not be able to tell that he possessed extraordinary martial arts. That was why Chung Mengqi said this.
Hearing Chung Mengqi's praise, Du Qi hurriedly and modestly said, "Some reputation was created by being forced. It is not worthy of Aunt Cheng's praise."
Xuanyuan Lanqin lightly smiled and asked, "Looking at Young Master Du's appearance, is he preparing to go on a long journey?"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Junior has wandered the Pugilistic World and does not have a certain place to go. Whether I want to go far or not depends on whether or not someone is hunting me down."
Xuanyuan Lanqin lightly laughed and said, "Young Master Du is really humorous!"
Chung Mengqi also smiled and said, "Since Young Master Du does not have a certain place to go, why not follow Qiuchan and her disciple to my place and live for a few days to comfort Qiuchan's thoughts?"
Remembering the girl who had followed by his side, whether it was forced or original intention, they all had a certain goal, and only Hsu Qiuchan did not have any other intentions. In the Deer Gate Mountain, she had risked her life to protect Qu Cai. She had feelings for Hsu Qiuchan. Du Qi had always kept it in his heart. Now that they had met, he naturally did not want to be separated from her. Considering his own situation and his desire to do something, it was not convenient for him to invite Hsu Qiuchan to go with him. Regarding Chung Mengqi's suggestion, Du Qi had already agreed to it in his heart. However, he said, "Junior is not allowed to go in the martial arts world. Aunt Cheng invited me to go with her. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Chung Mengqi did not mind and smiled, "With Young Master Du's current reputation, who would dare to not have eyes? Furthermore, when have I, Fairy Yao, ever been afraid of trouble?"
Du Qi knew that Hsu Qiuchan was famous for using poison in the Jianghu. However, her martial arts were mediocre. When she was forced to use poison for her the last time, it had greatly increased her inner energy. She had far surpassed Wen Wenya, Yu Ruyi, Qi Feiwu and others who were equally famous. In terms of martial arts alone, she had already reached the level of a first-class master in the martial arts world. However, with her current martial arts, she was still far from being able to match up to her master, Xuanyuan Lanqin. And Xuanyuan Lanqin's martial arts was far from being comparable to Chung Mengqi's. Among the four of them, the most powerful was none other than Old Cang's good friend, Cheng Liang. Although his martial arts cultivation was only slightly higher than Chung Mengqi's, it was definitely not below Dugu Wendao's. Therefore, Chung Mengqi had the qualifications to speak such big words!
Seeing that Du Qi was silent and thought that Du Qi did not agree to her invitation, Chung Mengqi said again, "What is it? Young Master Du thinks that I, the Medicine Fairy, am speaking big words and still have scruples?"
Du Qi did not know Chung Mengqi's thoughts and hurriedly said, "Junior does not dare!"
Chung Mengqi pretended to be forceful and said," Since you do not dare, then follow us. It is not like we will eat you. What was there to be afraid of? Besides, we are not far from here. We will arrive before noon. What could happen in such a short period of time? As long as you enter my Hundred Herb Mountain Villa, who would dare to come and find trouble? "
Although Du Qi really wanted to spend some more time with Hsu Qiuchan, he still had to consider that Chung Mengqi and the others were just new acquaintances and would not be able to disturb them. Now that he saw Chung Mengqi sincerely inviting him again and again, he said, "Aunt Cheng is so warm, how would junior dare to be unreasonable. Aunt Cheng, Senior Xuanyuan, please!"
Chung Mengqi's Hundred Herbs Villa was not far from Jiujiang City. It was located at the foot of a small mountain at the border of Lu Mountain. The surrounding scenery was like a painting, and it was a good place to relax and relax.
Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Hundred Herb Manor, a beautiful face rushed out from inside. Her beauty was definitely not inferior to Hsu Qiuchan's. She was a young girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. With an intoxicating fragrance, she threw herself into Chung Mengqi's embrace like a swallow that had dropped into its nest. Pouting coquettishly, she said, "Master, why did you only come back now? I miss Juan'er to death."
Gently hugging the young girl, Chung Mengqi smiled lovingly and said, "You are already so old, yet you are still acting like a spoiled child like an hour ago. Aren't you afraid that others will see a joke?"
Juan'er said in a lovely and innocent manner, "It is not like there are outsiders, who dares to laugh? "
Even so, Juan'er quickly stood up from Chung Mengqi's embrace. She smiled at Xuanyuan Lanqin without changing her expression and said, "Hello Aunt Xuanyuan!" Then she said to Hsu Qiuchan, "Sister Chan, this time you must live a few more days. Don't be like the last few times. You ran away before you had enough fun."
As if she had suddenly discovered Du Qi's existence, Juan'er said somewhat uneasily, "This is..."
Without waiting for someone to introduce her, Du Qi hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists in greeting. "I am Du Qi. Greetings, young lady."
Juan'er quickly straightened her body and returned the greeting in a dignified manner, "So it is Young Master Du. Ling Juan greets you!"
Chung Mengqi lightly laughed and said, "Young Master Du came from afar as a guest. How can he let an esteemed guest stay outside the door? Juan'er, quickly invite Young Master Du to the manor. Your ages are similar, so you must get along well!"
Ling Juan respectfully responded and then said, "Ling Juan is lacking in manners. Young Master Du, do not blame it. Please come in!"
Du Qi followed Chung Mengqi and the others to Hundred Grass Manor. His original intention was to spend more time with Hsu Qiuchan. At this time, seeing Ling Juan suddenly appear, even though he did not have the suspicion of snatching Hsu Qiuchan's limelight, it would also hinder him and Hsu Qiuchan, but at this moment, he could only reply, "Miss Ling, please!"
Without waiting for Du Qi to finish speaking, Ling Juan pulled Hsu Qiuchan straight into the manor. Leaving Du Qi behind, Chung Mengqi self-deprecatingly said, "It is all because I spoiled Juan'er and did not know what was good for her. Young Master Du, don't blame me, please come in!"
Du Qi could only say again, "Aunt Cheng, please!"
Du Qi saw that this Hundred Grass Manor was built on the mountain and took up a large area. The layout of the house was reasonable and the style was elegant. All kinds of herbs were planted in the front and back of the house. However, there were even more flowers in the manor, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to call the manor Hundred Flowers Manor.
Thinking of Hundred Flowers, Du Qi couldn't help but think of Hundred Flower Palace. As soon as he thought of this, Du Qi couldn't help but laugh, blaming himself for being too sensitive. Even if this manor was called Bai Hua Manor, it might not be related to Hundred Flower Palace. Furthermore, this wasn't Hundred Flowers Manor but Hundred Herbs Manor.
