Chapter 369: Chapter 191: Black Lotus Holy Pill

Just then, a light cough came from outside the main hall. It was Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, arriving together.

Mu Xiaowan blushed, quickly breaking free from Chen Cheng’s embrace. She stepped out of the main hall and called out,

"Senior Sister Qingyao, Senior Sister Qingshuang, you’re here?"

"Mm." The two of them responded, then their gazes turned to Chen Cheng, who was leisurely walking out of the main hall.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you ready?" Shen Qingyao asked.

Chen Cheng nodded slightly. "Yes. Are we leaving now?"

Shen Qingyao said, "No rush. A major case happened in Dongcheng District last night, so our Shen Family has to reassign some people.

We’ll leave a bit later."

"Senior Sister Qingyao, are you talking about the matter with the Blood Saber Gang?" Chen Cheng asked.

Earlier, a Hospital Martial Artist from the Zheng Martial Arts Hall had also come to report.

"Let’s talk inside." Shen Qingyao said, then walked towards the main hall.

The two Shen Family sisters were frequent guests for meals at the Chens’, and they had long since started treating the place as if they were half-owners.

Chen Cheng and Mu Xiaowan, for their part, didn’t really mind.

They entered the main hall and took their seats.

Shen Qingyao’s beautiful eyes stared at Chen Cheng as she asked leisurely, "Junior Brother Chen, last night, the Blood Saber Gang’s Gang Leader, Qiu Tianhong, along with over a hundred of his core members, were all killed. What are your thoughts on this?"

Chen Cheng put on a surprised expression and asked in return, "Senior Sister Qingyao, why do you ask?"

Shen Qingyao suddenly chuckled. "I was just thinking, this couldn’t have been your doing, could it?"

Chen Cheng was noncommittal. "The Blood Saber Gang committed countless evils. They must have offended some incredible Martial Dao expert."

’The Blood Saber Gang had always acted ruthlessly.

Gang Leader Qiu Tianhong, Vice Gang Leader Qi Wei, and all their core members were by no means good people.

In killing them, I was carrying out justice, punishing the wicked and upholding the good.

Of course, I’m no righteous hero acting out of chivalry. The only reason I acted was because the Blood Saber Gang had become a threat to the people around me.’

Shen Qingyao said, "You’re right. It’s said that the person who acted was a Martial Dao expert who has mastered Sword Intent.

The Blood Saber Gang certainly deserved to die. Bullying the innocent, forcing good women into prostitution... and that was the least of it.

Behind the scenes, who knows how many entire families they’ve massacred.

If I had comprehended a Realm, I would have become a vigilante and wiped them all out long ago.

Now that this Sword Intent expert has acted, it’s truly satisfying."

Chen Cheng smiled. "Senior Sister Qingyao, I admire your righteous heart. You’re a true heroine."

"You flatter me," Shen Qingyao said, a look of reverence suddenly appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.

"That Sword Intent expert... he acted with lightning speed, slayed the wicked under the cover of night, and then left without a trace. I can only imagine what a magnificent figure he must be!"

Beside them, Mu Xiaowan and Shen Qingshuang were also visibly moved, a sense of admiration clear on their faces.

"Indeed." Chen Cheng nodded slightly.

Seeing Chen Cheng act so calmly, Shen Qingyao asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Chen, don’t you admire this senior?"

Chen Cheng chuckled and said, "Of course I admire him."

"Sigh..." Shen Qingyao suddenly sighed. "You’re just so proud. Is it that hard to admit that this senior, the Sword Intent expert, is an unparalleled figure?"

In Shen Qingyao’s eyes, a person with such strength could only be a reclusive senior expert, one who lived in obscurity and never revealed his true abilities.

’Shen Qingyao is so endearingly naive,’ Chen Cheng thought. ’But if she ever found out I was the one who did this... she’d be furious! She might even get angry enough to grab me and give me a beating!’

At this thought, Chen Cheng lowered his head and pretended to read a book to hide his awkwardness.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you reading *Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales* too?"

Shen Qingshuang asked, quite surprised.

Chen Cheng didn’t hide it from her. "Yes," he said. "It has a map of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range. My master personally marked many of the detailed locations."

"Oh..." Shen Qingshuang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She said seriously, "I was worried you were daydreaming about finding the cave residences of senior experts.

My family’s Ancestor once said that while those cave residences and Secret Realms are certainly full of treasures,

they are also extremely dangerous. Even experts above the Organ Refining Realm can easily get trapped inside and never get out.

We should be more down-to-earth and not have such wild fantasies."

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Qingshuang," Chen Cheng said with a serious expression.

This time, even Shen Qingyao didn’t contradict Shen Qingshuang. She too said with great seriousness,

"It’s not just that the cave residences and Secret Realms are dangerous. Martial Artists will often fight to the death just for the chance to enter one.

If you discover a cave residence or a Secret Realm, it’s best to report it to the Sect and let the Sect’s experts handle it.

That way, you can still get a reward from the Sect, which is a much better outcome than trying to enter it yourself and ending up dead."
