Chapter 1041: The Revenge of the Nan Zhou Dynasty
Qin Hao heard her words and let out a bitter laugh: "Does Miss Dong trust me that much?"
Dong Mengqi: "It's not that I trust Mr. Qin; it's that Mr. Qin's character is just like that."
Qin Hao gave a dry smile: "Miss Dong overpraises me; I don't have such high character."
Dong Mengqi smiled gently: "Mr. Qin, have some tea. It won't be as effective once it cools down."
A cup of tea, the two drank it in three sips.
Just as Qin Hao finished his first cup, the communication jade in his storage space sounded. It was a message from Ye Lingyi.
Qin Hao connected to the jade message: "What's wrong, Princess Lingyi?"
Ye Lingyi's voice sounded somewhat urgent, "Mr. Qin, we're surrounded by people from the Nan Zhou Dynasty. They're taking action against us. Linglong and Yutong are already injured."
Qin Hao's expression changed slightly: "Where are you? I'll come right away."
Ye Lingyi: "We're in the western district of Tiandi City." She sent a message.
Qin Hao said to Dong Mengqi: "Miss Dong, I have to go now."
Dong Mengqi nodded: "Is it trouble with Princess Lingyi and the others? Then you should hurry."
Qin Hao's figure flashed and disappeared from the teahouse. He moved quickly. The fact that people from the Nan Zhou Dynasty were attacking Lingyi and the others must be related to Qin Hao.
The Nan Zhou Dynasty was starting with people around Qin Hao!
After Qin Hao left, He Changan walked into the room.
Dong Mengqi spoke in a calm tone: "He protector, what do you think of Mr. Qin?"
He Changan nodded: "Mr. Qin is a man of character, but he's not very smooth in dealing with others, too sharp and outspoken. Too much rigidity can break easily."
Dong Mengqi: "If he joins our grand revenge endeavor, what would Protector He think?"
He Changan's face showed surprise: "He join the revenge endeavor? How could he possibly join?"
Dong Mengqi's eyes were bright and deep: "Protector He only needs to say how it would be, I don't know how to get him to join right now."
He Changan hesitated: "If he joins, our chances of success in the revenge endeavor would increase by two or three tenths. This young man is exceptionally brilliant, with extraordinary talent, destined to become a top expert one day."
Dong Mengqi nodded slightly, a look of contemplation on her face.
...
Western District of Tiandi City.
This is where Tiandi City's largest trading market is located. In front of a shop, a group of young men and women were attacking three young ladies.
A lot of people were gathered around the shop to watch the excitement.
The three in the scene were Ye Lingyi, Wu Yutong, and Gao Linglong.
At this time, the three were in imminent danger, all seriously injured. Eight or nine young prodigies from the Nan Zhou Dynasty attacked vigorously, aiming to cripple Ye Lingyi and her two companions.
"Bang"
Gao Linglong was the weakest among them and was already unable to withstand the blows, being struck by a young man from the Nan Zhou Dynasty and spitting several mouthfuls of blood in the process.
Just as that man was about to strike again, an angry shout came from afar, "Stop."
The voice sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, startling the crowd.
A black shadow came rushing from afar, moving so fast that people could only catch glimpses of afterimages.
"Shhh"
The man who intended to attack Gao Linglong again was split in two, sliced in half.
The onlookers' faces changed dramatically. Who was this person with such terrifying prowess?
When the figure stopped, a young man with black hair and black eyes stood there, with a cold expression and eyes like swords, staring at the members of the Nan Zhou Dynasty.
"Is that Qin Hao?!"
Someone in the crowd recognized him, exclaiming in surprise.
"That's right, it's Qin Hao. Such terrifying methods, instantly killing a genius in the Late Stage of Heavenly Human Realm."
"These people have a good relationship with Qin Hao; they're from the Skyfire Dynasty, and the Nan Zhou Dynasty's geniuses are targeting them, clearly going after Qin Hao."
"They're all students of the Heaven and Earth Academy, and fighting is permitted as long as there are no fatalities. They probably just wanted to teach Qin Hao a lesson."
Ye Lingyi and the other two were excited to see Qin Hao arrive.
The people from the Nan Zhou Dynasty looked slightly changed: "How dare you openly kill someone from the Nan Zhou Dynasty, how bold."
"So what if I did?" Qin Hao said with a fierce tone and disdain.
"You... just wait." Deterred by Qin Hao's reputation, they didn't dare make a move and turned to walk away after speaking.
Qin Hao didn't make another move and approached Ye Lingyi and the other two, asking, "Are you all right?"
Ye Lingyi forced a smile and said, "We're fine, Mr. Qin, just some minor injuries."
Those people didn't dare to hit too hard; their initial purpose was to just teach Ye Lingyi and the others a lesson, not to kill them.
Qin Hao nodded slightly: "It's good that you're fine; let's go back."
On the way back, Qin Hao curiously asked, "What were you three buying here?"
Ye Lingyi and the others were a bit taken aback, exchanged glances, and Gao Linglong stammered: "We bought some fabric, intending to make some clothes for Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin has helped us so much; we just couldn't think of another way to thank you, so we thought of this."
Ye Lingyi and Wu Yutong were also a bit embarrassed. To sew a few sets of clothes, they had even bought instructional books.
After all, they were once young ladies from wealthy families and had never learned these skills.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "You don't have to do this; I have plenty of clothes."
"Mr. Qin, please let us make you some clothes; otherwise, we don't know how to repay your kindness, and this will make us feel better," Lingyi said with a smile.
As they chatted and walked, they soon returned to the tavern.
Wu Yutong and Gao Linglong said, "Mr. Qin, we'll head back now. In a couple of days, we'll let you try the clothes to see if they fit."
Qin Hao: "Alright, thank you."
The two girls giggled and returned to their place.
Ye Lingyi looked at him, wanting to speak but hesitated, not knowing how to start.
Qin Hao understood her thoughts and took out a Peak Ascending Elixir from his storage space: "Give this Peak Ascending Elixir to Mr. Ye for me. He's helped me a lot, and this is my way of thanking him."
From training at the Royal Treasure Land to the joint effort in slaying the family head of a small clan in Jianglan City, these were all gestures of gratitude.
Ye Lingyi looked at the Peak Ascending Elixir in his hand, stunned, and then looked up at Qin Hao. She had been planning to ask for the elixir.
But Qin Hao had helped her so much that she couldn't bring herself to ask.
Now, seeing Qin Hao offer a Peak Ascending Elixir voluntarily, Ye Lingyi felt mixed emotions. She spoke with genuine gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao smiled warmly, like a gentle breeze: "No need to thank me, Princess Lingyi. We have a saying back home: Repay a drop of water with a wellspring of gratitude. This Peak Ascending Elixir is nothing to me; I have plenty. Consider it a gesture of goodwill."
