Chapter 1428 - A Surprising Turn of Events!

Chapter 1428 A Surprising Turn of Events!

Although Mo Qingwu’s group of four people encountered many interceptions along the way, their strength had already improved much, defeating all enemies and rushing out of the southeast.

Mo Qingwu was a little lost along the way.

Not hearing Mo Qingwu calling them “Big Brother Wushang” and “Big Brother Butong” sweetly, Dong Wushang and Rui Wutong were a little upset.

What made this sweet little sister suddenly so quiet?

Both were a little worried.

After being out for one more day, they finally walked out of the Xiao Clan’s territory, and everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief. On this road, the Xiao Clan’s movements were their utmost concerns.

Since the Xiao Clan hadn’t made a move, the four were still pretty confident in dealing with other forces.

One night, they camped in the wild.

“Little Wu, what’s the matter with you?” Dong Wushang took an opportunity to ask.

“I’m fine.” Mo Qingwu smiled faintly.

“You’ve been... very strange recently.” Dong Wushang’s crude face was full of concern.

Mo Qingwu smiled faintly. “I’m really fine. Well, Second Brother Dong, you’ve been so

Dong Wushang was a little surprised.

He really hadn’t heard the address of “Second Brother Dong” for a long time.

Besides, why was she suddenly interested in those things?

But since Little Wu wanted to listen to it, it was something that Dong Wushang himself happily reminisced, of course he was happy to tell the story.

So, the topic was pulled away ultimately by Mo Qingwu’s one simple sentence...

Mo Lei’er at the side rolled her eyes, totally speechless of Dong Wushang’s poor inquiry skills, so poor that he ended up being enquired instead...

“Back then, we...” Dong Wushang started narrating excitedly.

Rui Butong also listened at the side, occasionally adding a few sentences.

Mo Lei’er felt even more helpless now.

To go and ask what was wrong with Mo Qingwu... was the task Mo Lei’er secretly gave Dong Wushang and Rui Butong; because these two had known Mo Qingwu for a long time, and they had always been very respected by Mo Qingwu...

So out of concern, Mo Lei’er sent over the only two soldiers that she could use.

Never had she expected that even before a question was properly asked, it would instead turn into the boasting of those two clueless fellows...

Mo Lei’er raised her head and looked at Dong Wushang silently. She scolded in her heart, “Does this guy have some common sense at all?”

Mo Qingwu attentively listened to the two telling stories, her eyes didn’t even blink. Often, she seemed to be contemplating.

This made Dong Wushang even more excited.

Among the brothers, Dong Wushang was pretty bad at talking; to listen to him tell a story was extremely tiresome. In the past, Mo Qingwu used to refuse interaction with him because of this.

But today she actually listened with such focus, how could this not drastically increase Dong Wushang’s confidence? He even thought to himself — “I still have some talent for storytelling, in the future when I have children, I will tell stories to them...”

He didn’t pay any attention to Mo Lei’er who was already speechless because of his tongue-tied talking...

“So... Chu Yang still values relationships a lot,” said Mo Qingwu abruptly.

“Huh?” Dong Wushang and Rui Butong were both confused.

Where did this come from?

Aren’t those unnecessary words?

They had really never seen anyone who valued relationships more than Chu Yang in this world. But how did such a sentence suddenly come out of Mo Qingwu who was the most infatuated with Chu Yang?

“Of course!” Dong Wushang replied surely, “Chu Yang values relationships highly, it’s recognized by all the brothers!”

Mo Qingwu mused for a while and said, “So he is not a ruthless man...”

Dong Wushang and Rui Butong were totally speechless. Rui Butong reached out a hand to touch Mo Qingwu’s forehead. “Little Wu, do you have a fever today? Why are you talking deliriously?”

A flash of light came across Mo Qingwu’s eyes. She chuckled softly. “Why is he not a ruthless man?”

Dong Wushang and Rui Butong were stunned for a long while and made a quick decision — Not to talk to this suddenly confused little girl anymore. This girl was vague right now...

The two retreated in shock. Fortunately, Mo Qingwu did not insist but gave them a deeply affectionate smile...

She seemed very content.

Then she sat beside the root of the tree, bowed her head, put the Qing Wu Dream Saber on her lap, and gently stroked it. There was a fascinating smile at the corner of her mouth.

Dong Wushang and Rui Butong quickly turned their faces away — The little girl’s smile was really powerful, the two were almost stunned while looking at it.

Rui Butong went hunting while Mo Lei’er prepared for barbecue.

She was preparing when she saw Mo Qingwu walk over as well.

“Go and rest.” Mo Lei’er gave an unquestionable demand using her position as the older girl. “Little girl, what are you coming here for?”

Mo Qingwu revealed a “big sister’s smile” and said, “Actually, I’ll do it.”

Mo Lei’er floundered instantly.

With a bang, the dark saber in Dong Wushang’s hand fell to the ground, his eyes almost falling out of their sockets.

Ever since they knew Mo Qingwu from the Lower Three Heavens, they had never seen her cook anything. Whenever someone else cooked, she would wait, starving...

After the food was ready, the little girl would always finish it quickly using both hands until her mouth and hands were all oily, and she would praise non-stop, “It’s so delicious! So delicious!”

And after she finished eating, she would heave a sigh while holding her little belly. “I ate so much again, what should I do...”

Right now... this little lady was actually going to take part in cooking?

Mo Lei’er, who was still in a daze, was pushed to the side by Mo Qingwu. And then, she watched Mo Qingwu collect dead branches and skillfully set up a shelf, it was actually all done in an extremely standard way; right after, she lit a fire skillfully before any thick smoke emerged.

Dong Wushang and Mo Lei’er were deeply shocked.

This thing was not easy to talk about, it took an experienced wanderer in the martial world to actually do it!

Not to mention the little lady Mo Qingwu who had never done any chores...

Clang!

Rui Butong, who had just returned, saw Mo Qingwu busying around, and he was immediately shocked. The four hares in his hands slipped to the ground.

The hares were still alive, and they suddenly escaped to the left and right respectively.

Rui Butong couldn’t respond in time.

Right then, he watched Mo Qingwu leap forward, and her one hand grabbed the neck of a hare, threw it out, and hit the other down on the ground. The two hares were unconscious at once.

Her other hand did the exact same thing. In an instant, the four hares lay unconscious on the ground.

This was the method of those who were extremely experienced with traversing the martial world — To hit the hares unconscious instantly but not to kill it in case it affected the quality of the meat...

“Ah~~” Dong Wushang gasped. “This is incredible...”

Mo Lei’er nodded, numb.

Then, Mo Qingwu picked up the hares and went out gracefully, found a place that was sheltered from the wind, peeled their skins, removed the hair and brushed them clean. She then brought them back again, strung them up with branches and put it above the fire. And she started to skillfully sprinkle all kinds of ingredients on the meat.

She was very familiar with the skill as there was not a trace of confusion, the degree of heat was exactly at the best point.

Not long after, a strong fragrance began to spread as oil tickled and fell into the fire, making the barbecue full of flavor.

When this strong fragrance suffused the air, Mo Lei’er almost wanted to hide her face, extremely shy to the point of being ashamed — Her barbecue skills were actually not as good as this little girl’s...

While she actually had the background of a killer, a second-generation demon...

Her field survival skills were simply... unbearable in light of this fragrance.

“Try it.” Mo Qingwu finally finished roasting. Smiling, she divided up the meat, one portion per person.

Dong Wushang and Rui Butong tasted the most delicious barbecue in their lifetime; they were in awe with just one bite...

This deliciousness even made the two people extremely regretful that there was no wine to go with this barbecue...

What a shame!

The two even had a feeling — The taste of Mo Qingwu’s cooking was somewhat similar to Chu Yang’s... However, it was even more delicious than Chu Yang’s.

The two, of course, didn’t know that Chu Yang’s cooking skills were learned from Mo Qingwu to begin with...

And the reason why Mo Qingwu had such cooking skills was because she frequently cooked for Chu Yang over a long time...

When they just finished eating, the four heard an unusual movement at the same time.

They were alerted at once.

Immediately, in the shadow of the forest, there was a large number of people approaching from all directions.

A voice chuckled. “It is so delicious, we have smelled the scent from far away. I wonder which great chef is here? I wonder if this old man can taste it?”

Dong Wushang and Rui Butong’s countenance changed at the same time!

This was no coincidental encounter, but a prepared interception! Here, they were already 4,000 miles from the Flat Mountain Ridge! For the other party to choose this location, it was a careful choice.

If they were intercepted one day in advance, a distance of 2,000 miles for one of the four Supremacy to escape and get back was completely possible.

But right now, it was different. Here, they had almost gone out of the scope of the Xiao Clan’s territory. If they turned back now, they would face all of the Xiao Clan’s territories! Over here, faced with multiple layers of interception by the Xiao Clan, for them to rush all the way back was absolutely impossible!

Dong Wushang’s right hand steadily pressed onto the hilt of his dark saber. He spoke with a deep voice, “Who is it? Come out!”

Under the light of the fire, Mo Lei’er’s hands pressed on the sword hilt while Rui Butong’s face was heavy, only Mo Qingwu still looked calm and quiet, dealing with the leftover bones and burying them under the ground. There was actually no panic in her actions...

The man laughed. “Is this Second Master Dong speaking? Second Master Dong is a true hero indeed, one yell is just mighty and strong! You live up to your name...”

Dong Wushang, Rui Butong and Mo Lei’er’s countenance turned even worse.

The other side was completely clear about their background!

What did this indicate?

Mo Qingwu chuckled softly and said, “There are traitors in the Chu Clan...”

The man laughed, saying, “Miss Mo is indeed the disciple of Supremacy Tianya, you are extremely sharp indeed! At such a young age, it’s really admirable.”

Mo Qingwu answered lightly, “You’re here for me, right? Let the three of them go, I’ll just go with you all!”

The man laughed. “Miss Mo is really smart, we are indeed here for you. But these three, we also can’t let them go... Once the information is out, how will this old man take revenge from Supremacy Ning?”
