"Mr.Qin, how's my friend…?"
Qin Zongheng interrupted Youwu before his question finished, and bellowed with a poker face, "Who are you on earth?"
"I…I…am…" Youwu hesitated.
Furious, Qin Zongheng yelled, "We saved you, but you concealed everything to us! Tell me, where are your friend and you come from?"
Youwu sighed with a thumping heart under Qin Zongheng's sharp gaze, "My friend is the second young lady from Clan Chu in Jinxia. And I'm her guard responsible for her safety."
"Second young lady of Clan Chu?" Startled, Qin Zongheng frowned.
He doubted Youwu's identity but never imagined he came from a powerful background.
"That makes sense! Only such a noble lady can drive Team Long Xi to dispatch so many martial artists." Zhao Qingchuan was enlightened suddenly.
"I beg your pardon?" Paralyzed by fear, Youwu sat on the ground and screeched.
Qin Zongheng answered, eyebrows knitting, "I intended to bring your friend to Clan Qin according to your imploration. But unexpectedly my subordinates met Team Long Xi searching for your friend. And she was captured."
"What?" Youwu coughed up blood with tearing pain in chest, darkness falling before his eyes.
Qin Zongheng hurried to strike his acupoints and stabilized his inner injuries with his inner energy. His injury did not worsen.
"You don't need to worry. Team Long Xi doesn't dare to deal with the young lady due to her special identity. She's safe in a short time."
Flurried and remorseful, Youwu kept pulling his hair in self-blame.
Qin Zongheng was impatient to see this, "Team Long Xi enjoys a great deal of superior martial artists. The only way to save her is to ask the masters from Clan Qin for an ambush. I think you'd better send news back to Clan Chu first."
Youwu looked up at Qin Zongheng, but swallowed his words, sighing. He nodded, bid fare-well to Qin Zongheng and left Clan Qin.
"Big brother, the guy is kind. He did not embarrass us." Zhao Qingchuan praised while gazing at Youwu's fading shadow.
"He is smart! It doesn't make any sense if he tells us. Clan Qin and Clan Chu are friends, but belong to two countries after all. I cannot allow Clan Qin to fight with Clan Long for the sake of Clan Chu."
Zhao Qingchuan replied, "Big brother, Clan Chu will spare no pains in rescuing the second young lady. I suppose numerous martial artists form Clan Chu will gather in Longyuan. It'll be chaotic then."
"Definitely! But don't hurt the commoners."
Qin Zongheng gave a sigh because the civilians were always harmed in the game between the upper ranks.
"Big brother, we just stand by?"
"We'll offend the dragon envoy if we stand by. Don't forget Li Yexue has been taken away with the second young lady. We don't care about the young lady, but we must save Li Yexue!"
"Big brother, shall we tell the dragon envoy about Li Yexue's capture?"
"No! Hide it first! It's a golden chance given by God. If we rescue Li Yexue successfully, he'll be grateful to us!"
Zhao Qingchuan nodded, "Fine. Let's act according to your strategy."
Qin Zongheng replied, "Team Long Xi has been led by the second Lord of Clan Long. I have to pay a visit to him. "
"Big brother, it's widely acknowledged that the second lord has a bad temper. I'm afraid he won't be nice to you." Zhao Qingchuan worried.
Qin Zongheng chuckled, "He must be aware that I cannot tolerate other's bully. If he doesn't give me the face, I will find trouble with him. I hope he can create some difficulties for me. The more complex the rescue is, the dragon envoy will be more grateful to us! Ha…ha… "
