All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Chapter 71 The Much-Anticipated Hair Pull

"How could it be you, you vile wretch!" The moment Tong Lao saw Li Qiushui, her face darkened.

"Oh? Senior Sister doesn't want to see me? Who does she want to see?" Li Qiushui stood up with a smile.

Before she could say anything more, the Old Woman Tong had already moved. She raised her hand and unleashed the seventh move of the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan: One Yang Pass Triple Fold.

The palm strikes came like a tidal wave, one after another, crashing down on Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui was prepared, and Bai Hong's palm strike met her attack instantly.

"Bang—!" The force of the impact scattered, causing the furnishings in the room to tilt and fall.

In terms of martial arts, Tong Lao has always been superior to Li Qiushui. Back when Li Qiushui had not yet mastered the White Rainbow Palm technique, she could only barely survive against Tong Lao; now that the White Rainbow Palm technique has been fully mastered, although the gap between them has narrowed, there is still a considerable distance between them.

Moreover, now that Tong Lao's Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian has recovered, her internal energy circulation is smoother, and her combat power has reached a new level.

The moment their palms clashed, Tong Lao gained the upper hand, forcing Li Qiushui to retreat repeatedly.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared.

Zhang Cheng grabbed the arms of both men with both hands, unleashing the full power of his Northern Darkness Divine Art to redirect the opposing palm forces towards himself.

Both Tong Lao and Li Qiushui changed color at the same time and withdrew their palms and stopped exerting force.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two men withdrew their strength, Zhang Cheng took several steps back to dissipate the remaining force.

"Nephew/Young brother, are you alright?" The two asked almost simultaneously.

As soon as they spoke, they exchanged a glance.

The old woman, Tong Lao, was the first to retort: ​​"You wicked woman, why are you so concerned about him?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui's smile returned: "I have a very close relationship with this young man. He saw that my senior sister and I were at a disadvantage in our fight, and he took such a risk to come and save us. How could I not show some concern?"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Zhang Cheng, her body almost touching his arm.

"But Senior Sister, why are you so casually calling him your junior disciple? Oh, no, it's not quite casual. Although this young man has a master, since he learned the Northern Darkness Divine Art from me, he can be considered half my disciple. It doesn't seem wrong for Senior Sister to call him your junior disciple."

"What did you say?!" The old woman glared at her, then turned to Zhang Cheng. "Boy, is what this vile woman is saying true?"

This time, when she got angry, she didn't even call him "nephew/niece" anymore.

Zhang Cheng shook his arm, which was still numb from the shock, and glanced at Li Qiushui with a helpless expression.

The woman in white was smiling and looking back, clearly pleased that she could make the old woman so angry.

Seeing this, the old woman became even more furious. "Boy, what are you doing, winking and exchanging glances with this vile woman?"

Zhang Cheng sighed. "Come on, weren't we just worried about whether I was alright?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them calmed down a bit.

After all, in their view, Zhang Cheng's forceful intervention in their palm strike was equivalent to taking a combined blow from the two of them.

One of them had just been saved by Zhang Cheng, and the other had just been let go by him. Both of them were people who valued their status, so when they heard Zhang Cheng say this, they were too embarrassed to continue making a scene in front of the younger generation.

The old woman snorted coldly, took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and tossed it towards Zhang Cheng.

"Boy, here you go. This is a miraculous medicine from my Xiaoyao Sect for treating internal injuries. Take one pill first and circulate your internal energy to heal your wounds."

Zhang Cheng knew that someone of Tong Lao's status would only offer valuable items. He caught the porcelain bottle and casually tucked it into his pocket.

Given his physical recovery speed, using this elixir would be a waste; it would be better to save it for someone else.

The old woman's eyelids twitched as she watched his movements.

These Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pills were medicine she used to treat her injuries, and their production was extremely low. She had taken quite a lot of them at the time due to her severe injuries, and now only these small bottles remained.

However, since she had already given it to him, she felt embarrassed to ask for it back, so she could only pretend that she didn't care.

Zhang Cheng was naturally unaware of all this. Seeing that the two had finally calmed down, he took the initiative to invite them to sit down at the table.

The three dismissed Xiao Yu and the others, and the room finally quieted down.

Zhang Cheng looked at the two elderly women opposite him who seemed to dislike each other, and spoke first: "You can ask me anything you want. I'll answer you one by one."

The old woman stared at him, her gaze intense: "What exactly is your relationship with this vile woman? Was what she just said true?"

Zhang Cheng was speechless for a moment. Shouldn't you be more concerned about your junior brother who has been missing for many years?

However, he still told the truth: "I only met this Sister Li today. But the martial arts I practice did indeed come from a secret manual she left behind. Therefore, what she said earlier was the truth."

Upon hearing this, the Old Woman's gaze darkened slightly: "Since you are not my junior brother's disciple and have no connection with me whatsoever, yet you are related to this wretched woman, why did you lend me your help?"

Zhang Cheng naturally couldn't say that interfering in the feud between the two would speed up his acting, so he brought out the same "meddling" excuse he had given Li Qiushui before.

After hearing this, the old woman fell silent.

Although she and Li Qiushui had a deep-seated grudge, before they completely fell out, they only had some conflicts and didn't like each other.

Now that her Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian has recovered and her injuries have healed, she's in a good mood. Giving the young man who saved her life some face isn't out of the question.

But that bitch Li Qiushui brought people to her door today and almost took her life. It's hard to accept that she should just let it go like this.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Zhang Cheng knew that she probably harbored resentment, so he used the reason for Wu Yazi's disappearance as bait.

Upon hearing this, Granny Tong indeed stopped worrying about whether to let Li Qiushui go and said urgently, "With Junior Brother's martial arts skills, how could he be ambushed by that Ding fellow? Boy, are you lying to me?"

"I don't know about this either," Zhang Cheng said, looking at Li Qiushui. "But when I told Sister Li about it earlier, she seemed to have some idea."

The old woman's gaze then shifted to Li Qiushui. "Was it you, you vile wretch, who conspired with that Ding fellow to harm Wuyazi?"

Li Qiushui's eyes flickered, and she didn't immediately retort as she had before.

"Well, so this is exactly what you did, you scoundrel."

Upon seeing this, Tong Lao was immediately enraged and was about to fight Li Qiushui again.

Zhang Cheng quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive! I can cure your junior brother's disability too. The two of you should reach a reconciliation as soon as possible, and I can take you to Wuyazi to get things cleared up."

Tong Lao had deep affection for Wu Ya Zi, and upon hearing this, she gradually calmed down.

"Alright. Take me to my junior brother and heal his injuries. I, your grandmother, will reward you handsomely. I—"

She paused here, and began to think about it carefully.

What men desire is nothing more than power, money, and beautiful women.

Fist is power. Although she had never fought Zhang Cheng at full strength, she could tell that his martial arts skills were probably comparable to her own. With such cultivation, he would be treated as an honored guest wherever he went.

And he seems to be a direct descendant of the Duan family, so he must not lack gold and silver treasures.

Therefore, if one promises huge profits, the only outcome will be—

She raised her head, her gaze landing on Zhang Cheng: "I can give you all the servants from the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments of Lingjiu Palace. What do you say?"
