Chapter 338 Before the storm
After all, the idea of ​​being disliked by Wu Qianhuan was just Liu Zhaohua’s wishful thinking.

After the initial little awkwardness, the two got along very well.

From Liu Zhaohua’s perspective alone, Wu Qianhuan’s personality is generous and generous, not delicate or artificial, and she is also good-looking, and there is really nothing wrong with her.

Wu Qianhuan could also feel Liu Zhaohua’s kindness.

She put herself in Liu Zhaohua’s shoes and could empathize with what he had gone through over the past twenty years.

Therefore, the more contact there is, the more harmonious the relationship will be.

During the conversation, he did not forget to introduce Wenrou to Liu Zhaohua, so as not to leave her aside and be neglected.

But in this way, no one paid attention to Chu Qing.

Fortunately, he was standing aside and didn’t feel bored. Listening to the conversations in his ears, he inexplicably felt a sense of peace and tranquility…

But he also knew that it was still far from a peaceful time.

The storm is about to come, and who knows how long this calm before the storm can last?

Liu Qingyan came to Chu Qing’s side without knowing when:
“Su Ningzhen has been a little absent-minded these past two days… Do you still keep your promise to teach her martial arts?”

As she spoke, she stuffed a handful of fish food into Chu Qing’s hand.

Chu Qing was sitting by the pool. He pinched a little and sprinkled it into the water, causing the fish to jump out of the water and scramble for food:

“I’ve been so busy these past two days that I really forgot about her.

“You have a good relationship with her, but do you know what kind of martial arts she wants to learn?”

“You have learned a lot, and I don’t think she knows how to choose. It would be better if she learns what you teach her.”

Liu Qingyan sat opposite Chu Qing:
“I plan to send someone to pick up Yu Shiliu. If it weren’t for this incident that suddenly happened in Tianyin Mansion, she should have come to Tianyin Mansion with us.”

Chu Qing paused for a moment:
“Let’s wait until the matter of Tianyin Mansion is over before we talk about it, so as to avoid any twists and turns.”

“it is good.”

Liu Qingyan nodded. At this moment, Tianyin Mansion was indeed being watched by the entire martial arts world.

Chu Qing meant that he was worried that Yu Shiliu would fall into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives and eventually be used as a threat.

Liu Qingyan understood and gave up the idea for the time being.

Then she stared at Chu Qing’s face, struggling for a while:

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“We are all family, you…”

As soon as Chu Qing said this, he noticed that Liu Qingyan’s eyes were flashing with a thief’s light, and the words he said afterwards suddenly changed:
“Tell me what you want, and I’ll consider whether to agree.”

“…”

Liu Qingyan secretly groaned in her heart, she thought it would be so easy to agree.

Struggling for a while:

“It’s okay, you definitely won’t agree.”

“Then I guess your request was too presumptuous. Fortunately, I didn’t agree directly…”

Chu Qing glanced at her sideways. Ever since she met Liu Zhaonian that day, she felt that this cousin looked at her with strange eyes. Now it seems that this feeling is correct.

I don’t know what she wants to do?
This is so weird. Should I go to Liu Zhaonian and complain about her?
Thinking of this, Chu Qing almost laughed out loud. At this point, he actually still had someone he could complain to?
“Qinger.”

Liu Zhaohua’s voice came.

Chu Qing turned back:

“exist.”

“Let’s go and take you to meet your grandmother.”

This was exactly what the title meant. In addition to paying a visit to Liu Zhaohua, the main purpose was to meet his grandmother and ask her to help Wu Qianhuan heal his injuries with the Tianxin Wan’an song.

I agreed immediately.

The group left the yard and headed towards another place.

Liu Qingyan is like a dog-skin plaster, she follows wherever everyone goes.

On the way, Chu Qing also asked Liu Zhaohua and Liu Qingyan about the situation of Tianyin Mansion.

Although they are close relatives, they don’t know much about each other.

This inquiry made Chu Qing know more about Tianyin Mansion.

In such a huge Tianyin Mansion, it is impossible that there are only two masters, the Liu brother and sister.

There are twelve top masters of the “Five Tones and Seven Rhythms” who reside permanently in Tianlai City, scattered throughout Tianyin Mansion and Tianlai City.

The main responsibility is to patrol the four directions and maintain order.

Without exception, all of the ‘Five Tones and Seven Rhythms’ are not from the Liu family, but are disciples raised by their side since childhood. The ones who are active now are the disciples left by Chu Qing’s grandfather, and the next generation of Five Tones and Seven Rhythms are taught by Liu Zhaonian himself.

What is required of them is not only high martial arts skills, but more importantly, absolute loyalty to Tianyin Mansion.

The reason why the Liu family was not used was because after many years of bloodline inheritance, the accumulated problems between the main family and the branch family made people dare not hand over this key matter to the branch disciples.

It is actually very difficult to make the disciples of a branch family absolutely loyal to the main family.

Because they have their own closer blood relatives. Although the Liu family is a large collective and they prosper together and suffer together, the status of the leader is different after all.

If there is a branch family that wants to take over, and there are disciples in the family who are in the “Five Tones and Seven Rhythms”, once the inside and outside work together… it is hard to say what the result will be. The slightest carelessness will lead to catastrophic consequences.

This does not mean that the head of the Liu family completely distrusts the disciples of the branch.

The main purpose is to prevent problems from happening…Tianyin Mansion has been passed down to the present day, and many of its rules were learned through bloody lessons.

The current situation is that Wuyin Qilü has the trust of the main family and protects the safety of Tianlai City, but its status is lower than that of the branch disciples.

The branch disciples are scattered among the main cities of Tianyin Prefecture.

There are six branches in total according to their tributaries.

They are located in six large cities and fifteen small cities in addition to the five main cities.

As major events were happening in Tianyin Mansion, not long ago, Liu Zhaonian sent a letter to summon all the six branch family heads to Tianyin Mansion.

Therefore, almost all the power of the entire Tianyin Mansion is now concentrated in one place.

It’s just that Tianyin Mansion is too big, like a city within a city, and it’s hard to tell that so many people are hiding there.

“But besides these people, there are many other masters… There are also many young masters of my generation.

“It’s just that in your eyes, these people are not good enough.”

Liu Qingyan sighed softly:
“I’m actually looking forward to the scene of you and your cousin meeting.”

“cousin?”

Chu Qing glanced at Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan nodded:
“My brother… the arrogant Liu Jinghan, his martial arts skills are better than mine, and he has never taken me, his sister, seriously.

“He has been sent out by my father to do some work. I think he will be back soon. When you see him, help me teach him a lesson so that he won’t be arrogant.”

“…”

Chu Qing suddenly felt that the grudge between the two siblings was quite deep.

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at a quiet courtyard deep in the mansion.

Liu Zhaohua walked in carelessly:
“mother!”

Calling and searching all the way.

Liu Qingyan followed suit:
“Grandma, we’re here to see you!”

Chu Qing was watching speechlessly when he heard an old voice scolding with a smile:
“The older ones don’t behave like older ones, but the younger ones follow their example. It’s really like the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked.

“How can you be so loud and shouting?”

As the voice sounded, a person appeared before his eyes.

It was no different from what Chu Qing had imagined.

This is an old lady who looks very kind and amiable.

His hair is grey, his eyes are kind, his skin is naturally aged and loose, and his eyes seem fierce but actually contain warmth.

He cursed mercilessly, but raised his hand and gently held Liu Qingyan’s hand, his movements were very light.

Liu Qingyan stuck out her tongue at her:

“Grandma… we are here to see you.” “No one comes to see you for no reason. You naughty boy, how dare you come to see me?”

The old lady gave her a sidelong glance:
“Did you get into trouble again? Is your father going to beat you?”

“Not at all!”

Liu Qingyan cried out that she was wronged:
“Besides, how old am I now? Even if I get into trouble, I can’t ask you for help…”

“No matter how old you are, you are still a child.”

The old lady snorted and glanced at Liu Zhaohua:
“Look at your aunt. She’s so old, but she’s still shouting and yelling. She has no manners at all.”

“Mom, give me some face.”

Liu Zhaohua looked a little embarrassed.

The old lady was stunned. Over the years, her daughter rarely asked her for face.

He glanced at the few people following him, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he immediately started searching among the crowd.

After a moment, it fell on Chu Qing.

His eyes were fixed, and he sighed before he spoke:

“Are you Chu Qing?”

Liu Zhaohua waved to Chu Qing, and Chu Qing came forward and bowed:
“Tru Qing has met grandma.”

The old lady came up to Chu Qing, looked at him carefully for a moment, and then nodded:

“Okay, okay, I’ve heard what your uncle said about you.

“Young hero, what a great guy.

“Looking at it now, he really looks more like your mother than that little bastard your father.”

Chu Qing frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

If someone else scolded his father in front of his son, Chu Qing would make him pay for it… But he really had no way to deal with the old lady in front of him.

And I can understand…

After all, in her eyes, if it wasn’t for that little bastard Chu Yunfei who seduced her daughter back then.

How could it be like this now?

Fortunately, the old lady didn’t continue talking, otherwise the atmosphere would have become really awkward.

After inviting everyone in and everyone sat down, a maid came forward to pour tea.

The old lady’s eyes were always on Chu Qing. After watching Chu Qing take a sip of tea, she said:

“Just now I saw you frowning, are you blaming me for scolding you?”

“……Yes.”

Chu Qing nodded.

“That’s honest.”

The old lady smiled:

“But don’t blame me, kid.

“Think about it, if you have a daughter, you raise her carefully for many years, and dote on her for nearly twenty years.

“Suddenly, a boy who you didn’t like in any way cheated her away, and your daughter, who had always been close to you, had a big fight with you for him and eloped with you…

“She gave birth to three sons for him.

“Let me ask you, if you see him…what will you do?”

“Break his legs.”

Chu Qing didn’t even think about it.

“Ha ha ha ha.”

The old lady burst into laughter:
“Like our Liu family.”

But after laughing, he sighed again:
“I don’t like your father at all, but I can’t help but feel sorry for you… You haven’t had your mother by your side for twenty years, ah…

“Everything is determined by fate. Your mother has her own reasons. Don’t blame her.”

Chu Qing glanced at her and shook his head gently:

“I already know the whole story. Gongsun Zongheng was captured by me. He must pay for the pain of separation from my loved ones over the past twenty years.”

The old lady nodded:
“You are a boy with great martial arts skills. It is extraordinary that you can capture Gongsun Zongheng.

“And with such advanced martial arts skills, he never accused me of taking advantage of my age… That’s rare.

“Okay, you came here today for Tian Xin Wan An Qu, right?

“Who was injured?”

Wu Qianhuan stood up:
“Grandma, it’s me.”

“Oh?”

The old lady’s eyes lit up:
“What a pretty girl! Come, come to grandma.”

Wu Qianhuan glanced at Chu Qing and saw him nod. Then she walked to the old lady.

The old lady reached out and put her hand on Wu Qianhuan’s wrist, then raised her eyebrows and spoke in a slightly surprised tone:
“What you are practicing is actually the [Moon-Pointing Mysterious Art]?
“Are you Madam Ye’s disciple?”

“Mrs. Night?”

Wu Qianhuan was stunned:
“Grandma… my mentor is Master Ye Tan.”

“Master Ye Tan…”

The old lady was slightly distracted and sighed softly:

“So we are an old friend. Don’t worry, your injury is nothing. With Tianxin Wan’an Qu, I can cure it in a month at most.

“However, the practice of the Moon-Pointing Mysterious Art still requires a certain degree of relaxation and intensity. Although this is the best and most brilliant method in the world, it cannot be practiced without restraint.

“Otherwise, even with Tianxin Wan’anqu, it would be hard to guarantee complete safety.”

Wu Qianhuan was a little curious:

“Do you know my master?”

The old lady nodded and stood up:

“Without further delay, follow me.”

Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing again, and saw Chu Qing stand up and follow behind him.

The old lady knew it but didn’t say anything. The group entered the inner courtyard and saw a small pond in the middle of the courtyard.

“This is a meditation pool. The hot spring in the pool has a special effect. It can make people calm down. Only by combining it with the Tianxin Wan’an song can we achieve the best effect.”

The old lady said to Wu Qianhuan:
“Take off your outer clothes and enter the pool.”

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Chu Qing:
“Why don’t you get out now? We haven’t gotten married yet, don’t look at anything inappropriate.”

Chu Qing was so upset that he could only leave the yard.

Before leaving, I heard the old lady instruct Wu Qianhuan:

“Girl, don’t let that brat get away with it before you get married. Zhaohua didn’t listen to me back then…”

Chu Qing shook his head. As a human being, he was not fit to listen to the rest of the content, so he quickly returned to the front yard.

Knowing that the work in the backyard had already started, Liu Zhaohua asked Chu Qing to go about her business and they just stayed here to guard.

Chu Qing nodded and left the yard. He was about to look for Liu Zhaonian, but before he could leave, Liu Zhaonian came over first:
“Han Yiren tendered his resignation today, saying that he will leave Tianyin Mansion early tomorrow morning.”

Chu Qing’s heart moved, knowing that Han Yiren had finally received the instruction.

He immediately asked:

“Where are the people from the two prefectures now?”

“We should be able to reach Tianlai City early tomorrow morning!”

“The timing is perfect…”

A smile appeared on Chu Qing’s lips:
“I’m going to meet Ouyang Tianxu tonight!”
