Chapter 972 Rosefinch City
Qin Haodong said, “Uncle, you trust me so much. Aren’t you afraid that I might turn out to be a liar?”
He Changqing said, “I’ve lived for so many years. I’m very confident in my judgment of character. When you just got the Black Demon Pearl, your eyes were clear, without any greed or desire. How could such a person be a liar?
“Moreover, this Black Demon Pearl is only useful to the Alien Demon. Others will only have to bear the responsibility and have nothing to gain.”
When Qin Haodong was on earth, he had also been harmed by the Alien Demon. If the so-called God of Demon really came back to life, it was hard to say whether the God of Demon would continue to threaten his homeland through that channel.
From the bottom of his heart, he naturally did not want the Black Demon Pearl to fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.
He would put the Black Demon Pearl in the Seven Storeys Pagoda when his Spirit was completely recovered. Thus, no one would be able to find it.
Thinking of this, he said, “Okay. As long as you believe in me, I will definitely take good care of this Black Demon Pearl and won’t let it be taken away by anyone.”
“Very well! I thank you on behalf of the Human,” He Changqing said and handed the Black Demon Pearl to Qin Haodong.
He Ziwei was very happy to see that her father trusted her beloved so much.
She said, “Father, the fake Lord is dead now. Do we still need to go to Rosefinch City? Or do we go back to Flame City?”
He Changqing said, “We have killed the Eighth Elder. So many people from the Ghost King Sect have died. Maybe they will come back for revenge.
“How about this? You go to Rosefinch City with Little Qin. I will go back to Flame City by myself.”
He Ziwei worriedly said, “Father, since Flame City is still in danger, you should come with us. With my Second Uncle in Rosefinch City, the Ghost King Sect will not dare to cause trouble there.”
“Things are different now. The Lord of Flame City has suddenly disappeared. It will definitely arouse suspicion if all the members of our He Family leave.
“Once it arouses the vigilance of the Ghost King Sect, it will bring unnecessary trouble to our He Family. You go with Little Qin to Rosefinch City. I will go back to Flame City to guard it. This is the best way now.”
He Ziwei knew that her father’s words made sense, so she said, “Alright! Then, you must be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I’m old. I’ll take good care of myself.”
After resting for such a long time, He Changqing had almost healed. After saying goodbye to them, he turned back and flew in the direction of Flame City.
Qin Haodong and He Ziwei continued on their journey to Rosefinch City. About two days later, a huge city appeared before their eyes.
Similar to Tortoise City, the Rosefinch City also had a formation that forbade cultivators to fly.
When the two of them arrived at the gate, He Ziwei showed her family badge to a city guard. Then, He Ziwei and Qin Haodong entered.
Compared to Tortoise City, Rosefinch City seemed bigger and more prosperous. The streets were filled with pedestrians and hawkers were everywhere, busy peddling their goods.
He Changhai was one of the most powerful generals of Rosefinch City, with a high status. He Ziwei was familiar with Rosefinch City. The two of them soon arrived at the General Mansion.
Seeing his niece suddenly appear, He Changhai was very enthusiastic. He let the two of them stay in his mansion.
However, he held an important position in Rosefinch City, so he was very busy with official matters. After eating lunch with the two of them, he hurriedly left.
He Ziwei felt bored in the mansion. She asked, “Haodong, have you been to Rosefinch City before?”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “No, this is the first time.”
“Then, I’ll bring you out for a stroll to see the scenery of the Rosefinch City!”
“Sure!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to stay in the mansion all the time. He had to get in touch with more people so that he could have more channels to search for information about the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring.
The two left the General Mansion and began to walk around in Rosefinch City.
They looked around and wandered about Rosefinch City. About two hours later, they arrived at a prosperous commercial street.
This was the most crowded place in Rosefinch City. Various restaurants and tea houses lined both sides of the street. All kinds of local specialties were sold by peddlers on the street.
As they were walking forward, a woman in white suddenly appeared not far away from them.
“Brother, have you seen this person before? He is my husband. He got lost a few days ago,” the woman in white said and showed the portrait in her hand to a middle-aged man.
Although the portrait was just a rough sketch, the image of Qin Haodong could still be seen.
“I haven’t seen him before!”
The middle-aged man shook his head and continued walking forward.
Qin Haodong grabbed He Ziwei. He did not dare to move forward, because the woman in white was Niu Cuihua, the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. He did not expect that this woman had also come to Rosefinch City to look for him.
What he worried about most now was that Niu Cuihua would suddenly regain her memory. Then, he would be in big trouble.
At this time, several rascally rogues came over and surrounded Niu Cuihua.
“Chick, you’re looking for a man, aren’t you? There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We’re all good men. You can choose any one of us.”
It seemed that rogues were everywhere. These people were here to take advantage of her.
He Ziwei hated these sorts of bullying incidents, so she said, “Let’s go over and take a look. We can’t let these rogues bully her.”
Qin Haodong grabbed her. “Don’t worry. Let’s wait and see. It’s hard to say who will bully who.”
These rogues dared to tease the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. They would die soon.
Niu Cuihua glanced at the people in front of her and coldly said, “Go away, all of you!”
“This chick is quite tough. I like this kind of personality the most…”
“Okay! I will go to bed with you. Let’s go to bed together…”
“Little bitch, we will definitely make you feel very good…”
These rogues said and laughed nastily. They wanted to take advantage of Niu Cuihua.
“You’re courting death!” Niu Cuihua shouted angrily. Then, all those rogues flew to both sides of the street as if they had encountered a bomb. They fell into the stinking ditch and lay there motionless. No one knew whether they were dead or alive.
The people around were shocked. They didn’t expect such a beautiful woman to be a master.
When she sensed the formidable momentum of the other party, He Ziwei’s expression greatly changed. She nervously said, “She… she’s actually a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm?”
“Let’s stay away from her. This woman is very dangerous.”
Qin Haodong took He Ziwei’s hand and turned back. Niu Cuihua still held the portrait in her hand and asked the people on the side of the road as if nothing had happened.
“Have you seen my husband?”
He Ziwei asked, “Do you know her?”
Qin Haodong nodded. “I’ve dealt with her twice.”
He Ziwei suddenly stopped walking. She looked at Qin Haodong and said, “You are not the man she’s looking for, are you? The man in the portrait in her hand really looks like you.”
Qin Haodong said, “Yes, the person she’s looking for is me. However, it’s not what you think.”
He Ziwei said, “She said she was looking for her husband. Is she your woman?”
“How would I dare to ask her to be my wife? I’m not tired of living.”
He Ziwei anxiously asked, “Then, what happened? Quickly tell me!”
Polygamy was very common in Lingwu Continent. It meant nothing to her that her husband had many women. However, she did not want the man she fancied to play around and abandon the family.
Qin Haodong had no choice but to tell her the whole story. But he told her that it was his magic treasure that injured the other party.
In the end, he said, “She has completely lost her memory. Who knows when she will regain her memory? Therefore, she is still very dangerous for me. I must stay away from her.”
“You mean that she is the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect?”
He Ziwei’s mouth was wide open in shock. She knew how powerful the Ghost King Sect was. The Eighth Elder had nearly destroyed their He Family before, not to mention the First Elder.
“Absolutely true. It’s just that she forgot her own identity. I told her that her name was Niu Cuihua.
“People from the Ghost King Sect have always been wearing masks from before. Not many people know her. Generally speaking, no one knows her true identity.”
“Niu Cuihua! What a rustic name! You’re so bad!”
After knowing the truth, He Ziwei didn’t mind. She began to chuckle.
When the two of them chatted, the crowd in front of them burst into an uproar. He Ziwei looked over in that direction and saw five women walking over from the opposite side.
Each of these women was very beautiful. No wonder they caused such a big sensation.
The girl in the front, who looked quite cute, held a portrait in her hand and asked as she walked, “Big Uncle, have you ever seen this person?”
“Sister, have you ever seen this person?”
The other girls behind the girl in the front were the same. They held the portraits in their hands and kept asking.
Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. He knew these girls. They were the Little Witch, Murong Jinghong, Fang Qiong’er, Yun Qianqian of the North Academy, and Tu Jiaojiao of the South Academy.
He didn’t expect these girls to come to Rosefinch City to look for him.
Seeing his expression, He Ziwei said in surprise, “Are they also looking for you? You’re not telling me that they are also the Elders of the Ghost King Sect, are you?”
Qin Haodong said, “They are all from Tortoise Academy. They are looking for me.”
At this time, the Little Witch grabbed a geezer and asked, “Uncle, have you seen this person before?”
“I haven’t seen this person before, but I saw a woman over there looking for him, too.”
“Someone else is looking for him?” The Little Witch asked in surprise, “Uncle, where is the person you are talking about?”
The geezer pointed to the back and said, “Over there. She is a beautiful woman dressed in white.”
After the geezer left, the Little Witch turned to the others and said, “I heard someone is looking for my Little Brother. Let’s go and have a look. Maybe we know her.”
Tu Jiaojiao said, “How many women have this guy provoked? We are already at Rosefinch City. There is still a woman looking for him.”
Fang Qiong’er said, “In fact, this is good news. If there is a woman who knows Senior Brother in Rosefinch City, it means that he may have come here.”
The Little Witch excitedly said, “Sister Fang is right. Let’s go and have a look. At least we can find out more about my Little Brother.”
Then, these girls stopped looking for him. They put away the portraits in their hands and rushed in the direction the geezer said.
How could Qin Haodong let them meet the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect? He rushed over and stopped them.
