Chapter 84: Almost Driven Mad with Joy
After resolving the many villains blocking the main path, Tang Lian did not kill the remaining few.
After all, she still wanted a good reputation.
If these escaping fellows could publicize her deeds in the Jianghu, she could quickly become a Tang Sect elder.
This way, she could also marry Brother Qingheng sooner.
“Sister Lian’, are you not going to pursue those people?”
However, after Tang Lian had let those people go, Gu Qingheng, who had quickly walked over, asked doubtfully, not understanding why Tang Lian would let the villains’ accomplices go.
How dare they obstruct their flower-viewing plan! These fellows deserved to pay the price!
He wondered if there was still enough time if they went back to the carriage to view the flowers now…
When Tang Lian heard Gu Qingheng’s question, she hesitated for a moment before organizing her thoughts and saying, “I can’t kill them all. I need someone to greatly publicize the name of the White Rakshasa.”
“Publicize?”
“Mm, only when my reputation in the Jianghu grows can I move into the Tang Sect Elder Hall… As long as I can become a nominal elder, I can come to find Brother Qingheng anytime, anywhere.”
Although Tang Lian wanted to tell Gu Qingheng everything, considering a lady’s reserve, Tang Lian ultimately did not reveal it all.
However, she could modify it slightly.
After all, the ultimate goal was to become a nominal elder!
It was just that after Gu Qingheng heard what Tang Lian said, he fell into deep thought.
Due to their long separation and the fact that the letters were filled with their romantic exchanges, Gu Qingheng was not very familiar with Tang Lian’s surroundings. Therefore, he had only just learned the reason why his Sister Lian’ had become the White Rakshasa.
He had always longed for Sister Lian’ to come to the capital and live with him, but he had not expected that it was due to the various restrictions of the Tang Sect that Tang Lian could not leave for too long.
Therefore, as long as Sister Lian’ became a Tang Sect elder, all problems would be easily solved.
Especially such a simple problem…
Heh heh, after his sister became the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, he could help Sister Lian’ achieve her goal with just some back-room operations.
Having a renowned reputation in the Jianghu was completely a piece of cake!
However, Gu Qingheng did not know if Tang Lian would accept his help, so he just thought about it to himself, then decided not to mention it and proceed in secret.
Regardless of whether Sister Lian’ would resist, he had to help her and must not let any other matters restrict them!
“In that case, Sister Lian’, you must work hard!”
After steadying his emotions, Gu Qingheng tenderly stroked Tang Lian’s hair, thinking in his heart that your Brother Qingheng would do his utmost to help you!
So don’t worry too much, just go for it!
When brother-in-law returns, he will also ask for more medicinal powder for Sister Lian’ for self-defense, and some poison powder is also needed…
“Mm, I will work hard to make my reputation even more renowned!”
Tang Lian smiled at Gu Qingheng, then thought in her heart that they would be able to be together forever then!
If she had known that the Tang Sect had so many restrictions, she would not have become a direct disciple of the Tang Sect, but rather an outer disciple.
As for the Tang Sect’s succession, Tang Lian was not worried… because her mother had given birth to another pair of twin boys.
With the Tang Sect having new heirs, Tang Lian no longer had the heavy responsibility and could become a nominal elder and do as she pleased.
Heaven knows, when Tang Lian heard this news, she was almost ecstatic.
She had always worried that if she became the Tang Sect Leader, how would she allocate time reasonably with Gu Qingheng… The two of them would be like tragic lovers in a play, in a miserable life where they could only meet for a short time. Just thinking about it caused her heartaches.
Fortunately, heaven had been kind and had not let her live such a life.
“Sister Lian’, because the flower season has arrived, there will definitely be other people on the road. Let’s catch a ride and continue to admire the flowers then!”
Afterwards, seeing that everything was over, Gu Qingheng immediately spoke about the next arrangement.
It wasn’t to return to the Prefecture, but to continue viewing flowers.
This surprised Tang Lian a little; she didn’t understand why Gu Qingheng was so insistent on viewing flowers when they could go tomorrow!
They had just encountered danger, and she didn’t know if there were still ambushes ahead.
This time they resolved it perfectly, but the next time might not be so certain!
Therefore, the best course of action was to return to the Prefecture…
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any more danger. Besides, I have quite a bit of medicinal powder here. If I encounter bad guys, I’ll just kill them directly.”
Seeing the change in Tang Lian’s expression, Gu Qingheng immediately understood her thoughts. He then reached out and held Tang Lian’s hand, speaking earnestly.
Gu Qingheng truly didn’t believe he could be so unlucky as to encounter another attack.
Looking at the way those people who had escaped were already scared out of their wits, they wouldn’t have the courage to attack again.
If there were people ambushing them further ahead, after these escapees reported back, after weighing things up, they would very likely leave.
Of course, if there were some stubborn fellows who refused to leave, he would have to let them taste some medicinal powder then.
Comparing the probabilities of the two situations, Gu Qingheng decided to take a gamble.
They hadn’t succeeded in viewing flowers last time; if they failed again this time, Gu Qingheng felt that his heart would be filled with frustration.
No matter what happened, nothing should obstruct their flower viewing this time.
“Stop!”
Just as Gu Qingheng was full of confidence, a luxuriously decorated carriage was also speeding towards them, appearing to be the carriage of a person of power and influence.
This made Gu Qingheng’s heart leap with joy, thinking that a ride had finally arrived.
However, the ride seemed to be unfriendly.
Seeing Gu Qingheng raise his hand to stop them, the carriage continued to speed forward without any intention of stopping.
Seeing this, Gu Qingheng’s mouth curved upwards, and the rogue spirit he had learned from Gu Yu immediately surfaced.
It’s good that they didn’t stop!
This way, he would have an excuse to throw the people in the carriage out and have some alone time with Sister Lian’.
Thinking this, Gu Qingheng gave Tang Lian a look. Tang Lian immediately understood what he meant and directly threw a hidden weapon, shooting it into the carriage.
The sudden attack made the coachman flustered, and he didn’t dare to continue driving, so he obediently stopped.
Encountering an attack from the outside, it was better to obey the other party’s orders. Although they might still die, there was also a small chance of being released.
As long as they didn’t encounter such perverted murderers, ordinary robbers wouldn’t bother poor people…
As the carriage stopped, Gu Qingheng walked forward a few steps. After lifting the carriage curtain, he immediately saw a man slumped over and two scantily clad women.
This made him immediately reach out and throw them into the grass by the roadside. Then, he showed the coachman a very hearty smile and said,
“Please take me to the place for viewing osmanthus flowers.”
