Chapter 634: Qiu Ling Su is Full of Questions

Bai Yumo looked at Jin Banfflower with the disdain one would hold for a clown. "Your masters should have taught you better. You need to learn to assess your opponents and gain some worldly experience. You need to know who you can and cannot provoke, or you will end up dead."

Qiu Ling Su stood up. "Bai Yumo, you came looking for me. Jin Banfflower comes from an aristocratic family in the capital and does not meddle in the affairs of the jianghu. He has no part in our grudges."

As she spoke, she signaled to Jin Banfflower with her eyes. "Thank you for your hospitality, but it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."

She believed that Jin Banfflower, having understood the implications of her earlier comment about Nangong Ling, would be able to pass on this information to Chu Liuxiang if he managed to escape safely.

If that happened, she could die in peace.

However, Jin Banfflower seemed not to have understood her hint. "How can I leave when the lady's martial arts skills are not yet recovered? That beggar has been hiding for over a decade, but killing him would be as easy as turning my hand!"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin were on the verge of tears.

Back in the capital, Jin Banfflower had only ever dealt with heads of escort agencies, commanders of noble guards, or, at the very least, martial arts instructors or powerful figures of the jianghu.

Of course, these people were skilled, but their abilities did not quite live up to their reputations.

Consequently, Jin Banfflower had an inflated opinion of himself. Without having tested his skills or honed his ability to assess others, he believed that having learned from multiple masters, he was already a top-notch expert of the jianghu.

This was why he dared to look down on the Thief Lord, Chu Liuxiang, disregard the Red of the Central Plains, and even speak arrogantly to the leader of the Beggars' Sect and Bai Yumo, an elder of the sect.

But Chu Liuxiang wasn't here!

"Sir, we'll hold him off. You take Mrs. Qiu and get out of here quickly!"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin were prepared to fight to the death. Their hope lay in Jin Banfflower's exceptional light martial arts, which they believed would enable him to escape with Qiu Ling Su safely.

Bai Yumo scoffed. "He's not going anywhere!"

He could tell that Liao Gang and Ye Jin were skilled fighters, and he didn't want to waste time with them. As he spoke, he lunged forward, brandishing the Soul-Catching Hook, aiming straight for Jin Banfflower's throat.

Having just pushed Liao Gang and Ye Jin aside, they were in no position to protect Jin Banfflower.

A cruel smile played at the corners of Bai Yumo's mouth as he anticipated the look of terror that would surely be on Jin Banfflower's face as he died.

Then he heard the sharp ring of a sword being unsheathed, followed by a flash of sword light.

Bai Yumo blinked, and by the time his vision had cleared, he found himself unconsciously halting his advance, all his strength seemingly drained from his body.

"Ding!"

The Soul-Catching Hook slipped from his now-limp hand and clattered to the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust. He felt a slight pain in his throat.

He lowered his head to look and saw that Jin Banfflower's sword was still securely sheathed, adorned with eighteen gems.

"You... just now..."

Bai Yumo tried to speak, but after uttering three words, blood poured from his throat, and his legs gave out. He fell to the ground and, after a few feeble twitches, breathed his last.

Liao Gang and Ye Jin: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Qiu Ling Su: (⊙o⊙)

Liao Gang and Ye Jin hadn't seen a thing.

Qiu Ling Su, despite her martial arts being sealed, still had her sharp eyes from her heyday. She barely managed to catch a glimpse of Jin Banfflower drawing his sword and the fleeting flash of sword light.

But...

What kind of swordsmanship was that? How could there be such a terrifying swordsmanship in this world?

Most importantly, how could the one who executed such a technique be Jin Banfflower?

Jin Banfflower waved his hand dismissively. "As expected of a vile beggar who uses poison to catch snakes. His blood stinks. Liao Gang, Ye Jin, throw this guy off the mountain cliff. Don't contaminate this tranquil place. Oh, and use a cloth to cushion him; be careful not to get poisoned."

Only then did Liao Gang and Ye Jin snap out of their daze, staring at Jin Banfflower in disbelief.

"Sir... Did you...?"

"Did I kill him? No, did you?" Jin Banfflower asked, sounding annoyed.

"But..."

"There's no 'but.' I've learned swordsmanship from several masters over the years. If I still can't kill an old beggar, then I might as well have learned all those years for nothing, and my skills might as well have gone to the dogs," Jin Banfflower huffed.

Liao Gang and Ye Jin were at a loss for words, feeling like they had a lump in their throats that they couldn't swallow.

Seeing Jin Banfflower's impatient gesture, they hurriedly picked up White Demon's body and started walking out, trying to calm down and gather their wits.

Qiu Ling Su gazed at Jin Banfflower, involuntarily exhaling a breath of relief. "So, it turns out that not only are you exceptionally wise, but your swordsmanship is also extraordinary. You've been toying with me this whole time."

"Huh?" Jin Banfflower raised an eyebrow. "Striking fast and aiming for the vital spots are the basics of swordsmanship that my masters taught me. There's nothing extraordinary about that. It's just that the old beggar is old and slow, so he couldn't keep up."

"You managed to hide it from..." Qiu Ling Su started to say, but she couldn't help but chuckle and then slowly nodded. "Alright, I suppose those are the basics of swordsmanship. I overreacted because my martial arts skills are lacking."

"Exactly!" Jin Banfflower nodded. "I've learned from dozens of masters, be it swordsmanship, knife techniques, light body movement, or even various miscellaneous skills. I've dabbled in them all."

"Oh, and I can also diagnose pulses and examine patients!" Jin Banfflower added, pointing at Qiu Ling Su's wrist. "I heard that Mrs. Qiu's martial arts have been disabled, but I'm not sure how it was done."

Qiu Ling Su looked at Jin Banfflower's smile, her heart filled with warmth. Despite her despair, she extended her hand, allowing Jin Banfflower to take her pulse.

When Liao Gang and Ye Jin returned, they saw Jin Banfflower holding Qiu Ling Su's delicate wrists, examining them curiously.

Liao Gang and Ye Jin: ???

The two men dared not even breathe, turning around cautiously and tiptoeing away. They didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until they were far away, facing the forest, afraid to look back.

Of course, nothing had happened between Jin Banfflower and Qiu Ling Su inside the room.

"He used poison to dissolve my internal energy and destroyed my dantian. It's impossible for my martial arts to recover," Qiu Ling Su said with a gentle shake of her head, her eyes filled with warmth as she looked at Jin Banfflower. "You don't have to trouble yourself anymore, and since I've told you everything, if you can avenge me..."

"Such gentle techniques, focusing on skill rather than brute force. It might not be as serious as Long Xiaoyun's injuries back then," Jin Banfflower interrupted, shaking his head. "It's just a damaged dantian and blocked meridians. It's a minor injury. A few acupuncture treatments and some medicine will fix her right up."

Qiu Ling Su: ???
