Chapter 74: Valley of Heartbreak
Qian Jin was very happy to receive such sincere praise from Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.
He immediately pulled Xiaolongnu, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang together for a meal.
After Qian Jin cured Lu Wushuang's limp, her mood improved more and more.
All the grievances he had suffered over the years following Li Mochou seemed to vanish after his broken leg was reattached.
She even felt that this was the happiest period of her life.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Wushuang's left leg gradually recovered, and she could walk like an ordinary person. In fact, Lu Wushuang felt that her martial arts skills had improved as a result.
For this, Lu Wushuang was filled with gratitude towards Qian Jin, saying that Qian Jin had given her happiness for the rest of her life.
Qian Jin felt that what he said was somewhat awkward.
However, Lu Wushuang spoke eloquently and profoundly explained to Qian Jin the importance of beauty for a girl.
So when Qian Jin cured her lameness, it was not only equivalent to helping her regain her beauty, but also her confidence as a girl.
She simply couldn't repay this kindness...
After Lu Wushuang fully recovered, Qian Jin lost interest in staying at Chixia Manor any longer.
He immediately left Chixia Manor with Xiaolongnu and the others.
In fact, Qian Jin found it quite strange that Li Mochou had not appeared during the long stay he had been staying at Chixia Manor.
Logically speaking, even if Li Mochou didn't return to Chixia Manor, she should still be causing trouble in the martial arts world.
But now, she has completely disappeared.
That doesn't seem reasonable.
Not long after Qian Jin and his group left Chixia Manor, they encountered Hong Lingbo, who had secretly escaped earlier.
However, this time when Hong Lingbo saw Qian Jin and the others, she did not run away again, but came over and knelt down to pay her respects.
Qian Jin was confused, but then he heard Hong Lingbo say:
"Young Master Qian, Uncle-Master Long, please, please save my master!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin quickly stepped forward to help Hong Lingbo up, saying:
"Miss Hong, there's no need for that. Please feel free to speak your mind."
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo quickly recounted Li Mochou's story to Qian Jin in detail.
After hearing this, Qian Jin's expression turned somewhat strange, and he said:
"Miss Hong, are you saying that your master, Li Mochou, has been poisoned by the Love Flower and is currently in the Valley of Heartbreak, being forced into marriage by Valley Master Gongsun?"
Hong Lingbo nodded upon hearing this and said:
"That's right, I only just received the news a while ago."
"In this world today, the only people I can think of who could save my master are you and Uncle-Master Long."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"Back in the ancient tomb, your master showed me no mercy, so why should I go to save her?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo quickly said:
"Young Master Qian, the way your master treated you in the ancient tomb was actually because of the oath you made to Uncle Long, not because he really wanted to kill you."
I know that Young Master Qian and my master have a grudge, but if Young Master Qian is willing to set aside past grievances and save my master, Hong Lingbo is willing to serve as his servant for life to repay his great kindness.
Seeing that Hong Lingbo had said something and was about to kneel down and kowtow, Qian Jin quickly reached out to help him up, saying:
"Miss Hong, your master has committed numerous evils and is ruthless. Does she really deserve to be treated like this?"
Hong Lingbo said upon hearing this:
"Young Master Qian, your master is said to be wicked and ruthless, but these are just rumors in the martial arts world."
Actually, my master isn't a bad person at heart; she's been very kind to me. She's always been a heartbroken person. After what Young Master Qian said last time, she realized her mistake, and now she's no longer the demon she's rumored to be.
Seeing Hong Lingbo's genuine emotions, Qian Jin turned to Xiaolongnu beside him and asked:
"Long'er, what do you think?"
"I'll listen to you. Whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin thought for a moment and decided that although the Valley of Heartbreak was infested with the deadly Love Flower, it was still worth a visit.
Moreover, the idea of Gongsun Zhi marrying Li Mochou sounds unreliable, so how could he possibly get his wish?
This guy is ruthless. To save his own life, he would not hesitate to kill his lover, and then he would sever the tendons of his wife and throw her into a deep valley.
He could even kill his own daughter. He must uphold justice and eliminate such scum.
So he said to Hong Lingbo:
"Miss Hong, since that's the case, then I'll go with you to the Valley of Heartbreak!"
Hong Lingbo was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly thanked Qian Jin.
Seeing this, Qian Jin waved his hand and said:
"Miss Hong, there's no need to be so polite. Based on our friendship from when we played chicken together back then, I'll definitely help you with this."
"Besides, we're already so familiar with each other, so please stop calling me 'Young Master Qian.' Just call me 'Brother Qian' like they do!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo nodded and immediately called out softly, "Brother Qian."
……
The Valley of Heartbreak is surrounded by mountains. Several days later, Qian Jin and his group arrived at the Valley of Heartbreak.
Since it was the time for Master Gongsun to get married, and in accordance with the principle that all guests are welcome, disciples of Jueqing Valley arranged for Qian Jin and others to stay at Jueqing Valley that very day.
As Qian Jin and his companions entered the restaurant for dinner that evening, they heard a burly man shouting loudly.
"No wine, no meat, how can anyone live like this? If I eat like this for another two days, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."
No sooner had the man finished speaking than a disciple in green robes said:
"Distinguished guest, it is forbidden to eat meat or drink alcohol in the Valley of Heartbreak. This is an ancestral rule that has been observed in the valley for hundreds of years. We hope you will understand."
The burly man was about to say something more when a man beside him said with a stern face:
"Everyone eats the same food, why are you always making such a fuss? Aren't you ashamed?"
The speaker was none other than Xiao Xiangzi, whose appearance resembled that of a zombie. Ma Guangzuo had always been somewhat afraid of him, and upon hearing this, he immediately dared not shout anymore.
Seeing that Ma Guangzuo remained silent, Nemo Xing, who was standing to the side, then spoke up:
"Brother Jinlun, we've been in this Valley of Heartbreak for several days now, but we haven't even seen the Valley Master yet. We don't know what kind of person he is."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Wheel Monk shook his head and said:
"The Valley Master of Heartbreak's methods are unknown, and I can't figure them out either. I can only wait until tomorrow and then act according to the situation."
After the Golden Wheel Monk finished speaking, he suddenly saw Qian Jin, Xiaolongnu, and others walk in, and immediately got up to greet them.
"Haha, Young Master Qian, how have you been? I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."
Seeing the Golden Wheel Monk's enthusiasm, Qian Jin smiled faintly, then imitated Nemo Xing's way of addressing him, saying:
"Brother Jinlun, I never expected to see you here again. You truly are omnipresent!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Wheel Monk paused for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Haha, Brother Qian is right. This just proves that we are quite destined to be together."
