Chapter 13.2
I’m Qin Jue, Nice To Meet You

“I can’t.”

“Why can’t you?” The thin man frowned.

Luo Wanqing coldly said, “He’s sick and needs a quilt. What do you two big men need this for?”

“It’s not for you to decide.” He glanced toward behind and faintly said, “Second brother.” As soon as his words fell, the tall man beside him suddenly stood up, raised his hand, and slammed his fist toward Luo Wanqing!

That punch came too fiercely. Luo Wanqing subconsciously folded her hands before her body, receiving the other party’s fist. But that person’s strength was unusually high. Even if Luo Wanqing used her entire body strength to resist, the other party still smacked her hard, colliding with ‘Jiu Shuang’ behind her. Instantly, he shouted, ‘Ouch.’

Luo Wanqing immediately felt the force on her body had unloaded, but she still felt blood in her chest churning. She instinctively rushed forward and wanted to take action, but the person behind caught her.

“Let them be.” The youth pulled her down. Take the quilt off his body and hand it to the other party, “These two are the famous black and white two evils of the jianghu. The elder brother is White Mouse, and the second brother is Black Bear. One is good at Qinggong(*), while the other can carry the cauldron. Miss Liu, you’re weak.” The youth pulled Luo Wanqing and comforted her, “Why are you fighting with two rough guys,” he said.

T/N: Qinggong is a lightness skill.

“Still, the pretty boy knows what’s best.” Hearing this, the two brothers laughed out loud. They took the quilt, covered their bodies, and sat on the opposite side of the carriage. They looked at the furious Luo Wanqing and said, “Motherf*cker, you have to find a man who is useful, now you know, right?”

“You ……” Luo Wanqing pretended she wanted to go forward again, but the youth hurriedly pulled her back. He fanned her using his hand and smiled, “Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Our Miss Liu is magnanimous.”

“Young Master!” Luo Wanqing spoke urgently, “Why did you let people bully you like this?!”

These words caused the youth to freeze, and his face revealed a little helplessness. “But it’s inevitable. I can’t beat them with my hands. It’s only a quilt. Just forget it.”

Listening to these words, Luo Wanqing understood. He couldn’t take action and did not want to expose his identity, so he only could show weakness.

He could show weakness, but not her. She has to display loyalty. She immediately said: “Young Master do not have to worry. I do things alone in this matter. I’m not grabbing this quilt for you. With me here, I won’t let anyone bully you!”

“This is not good, right?” The youth hesitated. “There is someone behind them. If you move your hand for me, we can be tied together. I heard that we need to team up for the preliminary examination of the Inspection Department. If you want to team up with others, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

Hearing that ‘Jiu Shuang’ also knew about the teaming thing, Luo Wanqing’s heart sank, not knowing if the other party could sense what she had in mind.

These words were advice but even more of a test. Luo Wanqing immediately said, “Then I’ll just team up with Young Master.”

“I have low skills currently. I can’t beat many people.” The youth was puzzled, “Do you want to team up with me?”

“Young Master doesn’t need to test the waters,” Luo Wanqing said solemnly. “I confirm that I’m teaming up with you, and I have no intention of backing out!”

“Alright then.” The youth immediately let go of his hands. He bent his knees and crossed his legs, pointing to the two people opposite, “Then do it. Let them sit in the corner. I want to lie down and sleep.”

“Black Bear,” White Mouse laughed out coldly. “Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile. Ten strokes to throw this bitch down.”

Once the words fell, the tall man stood up and slammed his fist towards her.

Luo Wanqing tightened her body and was about to receive it raw when she was kicked crookedly by the man behind her, reminding her, “Dodge and attack. Don’t take the punch.”

The wind of the other party’s fist brushed towards Luo Wanqing’s side, and the person behind her continued to remind, “Crouch down!”

Luo Wanqing subconsciously crouched down. The wind passed by her head, and the other party’s abdomen fell in front of Luo Wanqing’s eyes.

Luo Wanqing raised her hand to fetch the other party’s abdomen, and the other party immediately retreated. The youth behind her continued, “Stand up three inches higher and pick the center of the eyebrow.”

Luo Wanqing followed his words and raised her hand toward the opponent’s eyebrow. The other side saw her attack and did not dodge. He smashed his fist, using the hard to meet the hard.

The youth immediately said, “Bend backward and aim the center of the eyebrow again.”

Luo Wanqing did as he told her and saw the other party’s brow come right in front of her. She didn’t know how the youth did it. He seemed to issue all his commands because he had foreseen the other party’s movements. As long as she did his orders, she could wait in advance for the other party to come to her door.

Both parties fought in the narrow prison carriage. The White Mouse’s face became ugly, and after dozens of moves between them, Luo Wanqing suddenly realized something.

Black Bear’s strength was too big. Every time he punched, it was difficult for him to control the body momentum. She only needed to force the other side to keep attacking, and it was almost an absolute chance of victory. Figuring this out, she started utilizing this person’s overly tall stature and constantly dodging. The youth beside her gently said, ‘Huh,’ and then did not make a sound.

Luo Wanqing did not care about the surroundings. She concentrated on the other side’s punches and calculated the other side’s forces. This tall man never succeeded in hitting her. Then, with anger, he put all his strength and ruthlessly punched Luo Wanqing.

Luo Wanqing saw the exposed back. Then, without hesitating, she drilled up from the other side of his armpits and raised her elbows towards the other’s arched spine hard! If that blow landed, this person’s life would be over.

Seeing her strike, White Mouse, who had only been watching the battle, finally spoke out, shouting in alarm, “Stop!”

Black Bear’s movement immediately paused. Luo Wanqing also stopped her momentum and kicked the other party’s back, letting him crash into the wooden fence. The fence was customized and exceptionally tough. When Black Bear’s body slammed into it, the prison carriage trembled and almost overturned.

The official rushed forward hurriedly and shouted, “What are you doing? Do you want to die?”

“Sir,” White Mouse saw the official come over and immediately said, “My brother and I can’t sit anymore and want to walk.”

“Walk?” The official was surprised. Sitting in a carriage was much more comfortable, and walking can be a lot of effort. But looking at the situation of the prison carriage, if these two stay, they would continue to make trouble. The official didn’t want that and said, “Get down.”

After the official finished speaking, he halted the horse, opened the carriage’s door, and let the two come out. Seeing the two brothers go down, Zhao Yuyan anxiously said: “I …… I’ll walk too!” She hurriedly followed down.

After only two of them in the carriage, the youth glanced at Luo Wanqing and smiled, “Yo, this is spacious.” Saying this, he swooped the bedding and lay on it, leaning on the pillow and squinting, “Didn’t Miss say she’s good at massage? I have a headache. Please help me massage my head.”

Luo Wanqing knew the other party finally acknowledged her. She hurriedly went forward, kneeling and sitting above the youth’s head, reaching out to press the acupoints. Her fingers touched the other party’s acupoints. Within a few moments, he opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at Luo Wanqing as he mused, “Miss should have been a beauty in the past, right?”

“Average.” Luo Wanqing faintly said, “Occasionally, some people would compliment me.”

“That’s because they don’t know what they’re talking about,” the youth smiled with a curved brow, “Miss was born with beautiful bones. You were a perfect color on earth and looked gorgeous.”

“Skin and body are external things, not enough to mention.”

“Miss realized that things, that’s relieved me.” The youth smiled and closed his eyes, “It seems Miss is not interested in love. That way, we can still work together for a long time.”

Love? When Luo Wanqing heard this, she couldn’t help but look at the other party’s face again. This face was quite decent, but compared to Jiang Shaoyan – it was indeed too ordinary.

Love, he won’t have this chance. But she couldn’t display her dislike. Luo Wanqing’s thoughts fell on the sentence ‘work together for a long time’ and felt peace of mind. She knew that her efforts had finally had a result. She earnestly massaged the other party’s forehead. Initially, he was on guard. But not long, he relaxed and then fell asleep.

It was nighttime when they entered the city, and Luo Wanqing lightly called out to the youth, “Sir, we’ve arrived.”

The youth instantly opened his eyes. A flash of coldness flashed through his eyes, but soon, he calmed down. A few doubts surfaced on his face.

Luo Wanqing observed him, her heart judging this person’s character. This person was a vigilant and doubtful character who had lived in a life-and-death situation for years.

“Arrived?” The youth returned to his senses and turned to look at the inn in front of him.

One by one, the officials opened the cages to release the prisoners from the prison wagon, shouting, “All go to the backyard! Choose your room and sleep on your own. If there is one less person tomorrow morning, I’ll throw you all to the Imperial Prison of the Inspection Department. All of you get in!” Saying this, the officials rushed everyone into the backyard and closed the gate.

After the gate was closed, a group of prisoners looked at each other in dismay. Then, everyone went to choose a room of their own accord.

Luo Wanqing led the youth in choosing a medium-sized room. When she entered the door, she heard a male voice behind her, “We’ll take this room. You guys get out of here and sleep in the woodshed.”

Luo Wanqing turned back with cold eyes and saw a burly youth with a scar on his face standing in the doorway, followed by two people, White Mouse and Black Bear.

The White Mouse and Black Bear stood behind the youth, high and mighty.

Once Luo Wanqing thought about it, she knew that these two people had brought support. She glanced at the youth, who was sitting and leisurely pouring tea. Seeing he was unmoved, Luo Wanqing guessed that this person should be insufficient to be feared, so she said coldly: “What if we don’t go?”

“Liu Xiniang, I advise you to be sensible!” White Mouse sniffed and immediately jumped out, raising his hand and pointing at the scarred youth beside him, “Do you know who my big brother is?”

“Yo,” the youth behind Luo Wanqing poured two cups of tea and carried them to Luo Wanqing’s side. After distributing a cup to Luo Wanqing, he leaned against the door, leisurely saying, “Who is it?”

“Big brother, tell them who you are!”

White Mouse retreated a step, giving space to the scarred man.

The scarred man extracted a handful of energy from behind him and struck with a ‘clang.’ His voice was low: “I am the first swordsman of Jiangnan, Jiu Shuang.”

Hearing this, the youth next to Luo Wanqing spewed a mouthful of tea, spraying it onto the other’s face.

Luo Wanqing looked at this scarred man in front of her in shock and then looked at the youth, who hurriedly stepped forward to apologize for wiping the water for the other party. She subconsciously opened her mouth, “You’re not Jiu Shuang?!”

“This ……” the youth hesitantly turned back, “Did I say I’m Jiu Shuang?”

“Then who are you?!” Luo Wanqing was shocked until her mouth opened wide. The youth smiled, coughed lightly, placed the teacup on a small table, raised her hand, and respectfully said, “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Qin Jue, the third son of the Qin Clan in Jiangnan. Nice to meet you, Miss.”
