Chapter 947 Leaving Meizhou
Chapter 947 Leaving Meizhou
Bang!
A tremendous killing intent erupted from the Shushan Sect Master, making it hard for anyone to breathe.
"The sect leader is enraged! Meizhou City is doomed!"
The disciples held their breath, thinking to themselves that they had never seen their sect leader so angry.
"First came the provocation from the Poison King Sect, then the betrayal of the guards. Do you really think my Shushan Sword Sect is easy to bully?" The Shushan Sect Master was furious.
"This disciple requests to go into battle; I am certain we can take Meizhou City in one fell swoop!" a disciple declared confidently.
The other disciples were also eager to try, as this was a good opportunity to make contributions, since Meizhou City was a major source of income for the Shushan Sword Sect.
Not only that, but losing Meizhou City would be a disgrace to them, making them a laughingstock among other sects and causing their status to plummet.
"Sect Master, you mustn't!" Xiao Yang, the eldest disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, said anxiously, "Don't act rashly before things are cleared up, lest you offend that person in the capital!"
"Xiao Yang, don't boost others' morale and diminish your own. Is that guy in the capital so great? Twenty years ago, if it weren't for the help of our Shu Mountain Sword Sect, could he have conquered Bashu? This time, he's the one turning the tables on us, so don't blame our Shu Mountain Sword Sect for turning its back on us." Other disciples began to retort.
As peers, they were constantly suppressed by Xiao Yang, so it was only natural that they would develop this desire for revenge.
“There’s more to this than meets the eye. It might not be that person’s intention. Taking any rash action would only make things worse,” Xiao Yang continued.
He had been to the capital and knew that the man was no longer the same as before. His overall strength was definitely above that of the Shushan Sword Sect and even the entire martial arts world of Sichuan. Offending him would not end well.
"Hmph! Let them be arrogant for a few more days. Right now, the Sword King Sect is the priority." The Shu Mountain Sect Master forcibly suppressed his anger.
Ultimately, losing Meizhou City would only mean losing a little more silver.
On the other hand, they just ransacked Meizhou City, and continuing to plunder could very well provoke a backlash.
Although ordinary people will not rebel as long as they have a bite to eat, if they are taken from them even before their last bite, trouble is bound to break out.
The words of the Shu Mountain Sect Master were an order, and those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack Xiao Yang all shut up.
Within Meizhou City, a thriving and prosperous scene unfolded.
People started getting busy, and the streets became lively.
The land of Sichuan and Chongqing is prosperous. As long as there is no exploitation by various forces, it will regain its former glory in less than half a year.
Seeing the hot pot restaurant's business getting better and better, Lin Ping was genuinely happy.
This is just the beginning. If hot pot restaurants become popular throughout the Sichuan and Chongqing region, it will become a huge market.
"It seems Auntie had a reason for sending us here!" Lin Ping couldn't help but thank Luo Shaoyin.
Coming to the Sichuan Basin not only improves their martial arts skills but also allows them to develop commerce, and they also have wives to accompany them.
She has achieved success in love, career, and ability.
"Husband, where are we going next?" Jiang Yunying asked softly.
The crisis in Meizhou City has been resolved, and it is time for them to leave.
Lin Ping frowned, took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket, and couldn't help but sigh, "This contains the most exquisite sword techniques in the world, which make countless people fight for it regardless of their lives."
"What does my husband plan to do?" Jiang Yunying asked.
This is the most exquisite sword technique in the world, and they happen to need to improve their strength, so taking it out to practice themselves is undoubtedly the most self-serving choice.
But Jiang Yunying saw Lin Ping's inner struggle and didn't want to impose her own ideas on him.
"This is something that Senior Yan Gang risked his life to protect." Lin Ping's eyes dimmed slightly. How could he not know what this sword technique meant to him?
He could even use this to directly rescue Jiang Hongling, but his conscience wouldn't allow it.
He would never forget the look in Yan Gang's eyes before he died.
Entrusting your most valuable possession to a stranger is a truly helpless situation.
"My wife, I've made up my mind!" Lin Ping stood up straight and patted his chest as he spoke.
Jiang Yunying smiled slightly, a warm feeling rising in her heart.
This is her husband; he exudes righteousness from the inside out.
It's absolutely not worth letting a pure heart be blinded by a mere sword technique; it might even affect Dao Linping's future cultivation.
“Whatever decision my husband makes, I will support him without hesitation!” Jiang Yunying replied.
“Alright! Let’s wait and see. We shouldn’t hand over the sword manual to the Sword King Sect yet. What if they’re bad guys?” Lin Ping said righteously.
Jiang Yunying was speechless. No wonder he was her husband; he was always so shameless.
However, Lin Ping's words also make sense. Out of morality, he should indeed return the sword manual to the Sword King Sect. But if the Sword King Sect is an evil sect, it would be a disaster for the entire martial arts world if they obtained the sword manual. Out of a sense of justice, Lin Ping cannot hand over the sword manual.
So he made a compromise: to observe for a while and see what kind of existence the Sword King Sect really was.
"Bao'er, my wife and I are leaving." After making the decision, Lin Ping planned to set off immediately.
Even though Lin Ping is clueless when it comes to relationships, he has already figured out Qin Bao'er's feelings for him.
He considered leaving without saying goodbye, but felt that would be ungentlemanly.
"Well, it's time to go." Qin Bao'er was busy in the kitchen and didn't even glance at Lin Ping.
"Is this girl sick? I have to go now?" Lin Ping looked at Qin Bao'er incredulously and continued to emphasize, "Then I really have to go."
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
After saying that, Qin Bao'er actually carried plates of ingredients out of the kitchen. "Oh, right, say goodbye to Father."
"From fan to neutral? That shouldn't be the case!" Lin Ping felt inexplicably disappointed.
The reason he felt this way was not because he wanted anything from Qin Bao'er, but because he was afraid that he had lost his charm.
He doesn't have to attract women, but he must have the charm to do so.
"What? Should I call Bao'er back to say goodbye to you again?" Jiang Yunying rolled her eyes at Lin Ping and said irritably.
"No need, no need." Lin Ping hurriedly waved his hand, still having that much of a survival instinct.
Before leaving, he gave Qin Laohan some instructions, mainly concerning the development of the hot pot restaurant.
Old Qin wanted to persuade him to stay, but he knew that Lin Ping was no ordinary person and could not stay in the small city of Meizhou forever.
"Take care on your journey, young hero. Bao'er and I will definitely make the hot pot restaurant bigger and stronger," Qin Lao said earnestly, which was his promise to Lin Ping.
"My lady, has my charm level dropped?" Lin Ping had been bothered by Qin Bao'er's indifferent expression.
"Charm points?" Jiang Yunying burst out laughing, her expression mocking.
"What are you laughing at? Isn't it right? My husband is the most handsome man in Huai'an City," Lin Ping explained.
Jiang Yunying tried to make herself serious. "Husband, think about it carefully. Which of these sisters of mine fell in love with you because of your looks? You are good in every way, except that you have limited self-awareness!"
Lin Ping was speechless; he instantly lost confidence in his appearance.
