Qin Chu smiled, "Senior Sister, that's not right for you to say. Didn't the Azure Dragon Saint Family suffer any losses?"
"How can you even say that? The Azure Dragon Saint Family is still your fiancée's Family. Are you going to play dirty tricks on them too?" Shangshuyu gave Qin Chu a disdainful look.
Looking at Shangshuyu, Qin Chu shook his head, "Not getting entangled with the Azure Dragon Saint Family, not being hostile towards them, isn't because of some fiancée. It's because the Azure Dragon Saint Family didn't participate in besieging the Vermilion Bird Saint Family back then, and also because of you, Senior Sister. I don't want to make things difficult for you, Senior Sister. From now on, when we see people from the Azure Dragon Saint Family, we'll avoid them to prevent any bad outcomes."
"Thank you for considering me, Senior Sister, but you shouldn't be prejudiced against your unseen fiancée. So many years have passed, and you've been missing, neither alive nor dead, yet they haven't announced the annulment of the engagement. Isn't that saving Face for the Vermilion Bird Saint Family and you?" Shangshuyu felt a bit wronged because her identity as the little princess of the Azure Dragon Clan seemed somewhat insignificant in Qin Chu's heart, having no Face at all.
"Sigh! So, I still owe them a favor. When the time is right, I'll go to the Azure Dragon Saint Family to communicate and have them dissolve the engagement. That's better than me breaking it off, as it won't harm their reputation." Qin Chu thought for a moment and said.
"Wouldn't that hurt your dignity as a man?" Shangshuyu looked at Qin Chu and said. She hadn't expected her words to change Qin Chu's attitude.
"It doesn't matter. A man should be more magnanimous. The Azure Dragon Saint Family will understand. As for others, they can think what they want. I'll earn my own manly dignity; I don't need others to bestow it upon me." Qin Chu had made up his mind. When the Vermilion Bird Saint Family once again stood before the world, he would make a trip to the Azure Dragon Saint Family.
After some discussion, Qin Chu and Shangshuyu continued to walk forward, but no Spirit Intent Grass appeared.
Actually, Qin Chu was already very satisfied. He still had four stalks after giving one to Shangshuyu. After using one for himself and giving one to Gan Lingwu, two remained. He could give one to Su Mu and still have one for his Family.
As they advanced, Qin Chu heard the sound of fighting. He stealthily took a look and found that it was a small team from the White Tiger Saint Family and Blade God Valley fighting.
"The opportunity has come!" Qin Chu whispered.
"What do you plan to do?" Shangshuyu also lowered her voice. She knew Qin Chu had another idea.
"Currently, the Blade God Valley forces are at a disadvantage. If we don't intervene, they're doomed. So, we need to help, eliminate the White Tiger Saint Family's forces, then deal with Blade God Valley's. After killing both sides, we'll leave one or two corpses of Blade God Valley members and all the White Tiger Saint Family's, creating the illusion that Blade God Valley won. As for how those outside analyze it, that has nothing to do with us." Qin Chu told Shangshuyu his plan.
"The plan is very good! A Hou Tianjie has confirmed that Blade God Valley sent high-Rank Cultivators into Heavenly Sword Mountain. If the White Tiger Saint Family's people are killed by Blade God Valley's people, they will definitely be suspicious. However, the drawback is that Blade God Valley's current strength and the gap between the White Tiger Saint Family and the Fiery Thunder Saint Family are a bit large." Shangshuyu thought of a problem. She felt that if the forces on both sides were not balanced, then Qin Chu's strategy would be less effective.
"It doesn't matter, as long as they fight. I have no grudge with other people; I don't want to involve the innocent. Besides, the most suitable target would be the Azure Dragon Saint Family. Would you be willing to drag the Azure Dragon Saint Family into this?" Qin Chu looked at Shangshuyu and said.
"Stop! Don't even think about tricking the Azure Dragon Saint Family. They haven't done anything to offend you." Shangshuyu gave Qin Chu a disdainful look. She felt that if she hadn't been with Qin Chu, he might have already tricked the Azure Dragon Saint Family.
Having made his decision, Qin Chu acted. He moved swiftly, charging into the battle. He had injuries, but they had mostly recovered and wouldn't affect the fight.
Seeing Qin Chu, both the White Tiger Saint Family and Blade God Valley people were very surprised.
"Save us!" The Blade God Valley people shouted loudly. They were heavily suppressed by the White Tiger Saint Family and would die without help.
Qin Chu didn't speak; he directly charged towards the White Tiger Saint Family members. He naturally wanted to help the weaker Blade God Valley members first, to take down the tough White Tiger Saint Family.
Shangshuyu also made her move, and a chaotic battle ensued!
When only one member of the White Tiger Saint Family remained, the two Blade God Valley members simultaneously attacked Qin Chu with their blades, intending to ambush and kill him too.
Qin Chu activated his Sacred Flame Sword Wings, and with a tremor of the sword wings, he dodged the attack.
"Originally, I felt a little bad about dealing with you, but now there's nothing to feel guilty about." Qin Chu's Sacred Flame Sword Wings vibrated, and the Azure Spirit Sword continuously unleashed killing moves. In a short time, both the White Tiger Saint Family and Blade God Valley members were killed by him and Shangshuyu.
After killing both sides, Qin Chu cleaned up the battlefield. He changed the sword wounds on the fallen White Tiger Saint Family members into blade wounds with a battle saber. Then he left two corpses of the Blade God Valley members, creating the illusion that the Blade God Valley members had won and then left. After that, he burned the extra corpses.
Once they reached a safe place, Qin Chu and Shangshuyu began to sort through their gains.
Shangshuyu contributed a lot to this battle. They split the Spirit Stones. In the Storage Ring of the White Tiger Saint Family's leader, Qin Chu also found a Spirit Intent Grass, a common one, which of course was the most widely used.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chu handed the Spirit Intent Grass to Shangshuyu. He needed to help Qin Lingxi and Qin Longxuan collect Spirit Intent Grass, but he couldn't shortchange Shangshuyu.
"Junior Brother, I already have one." Shangshuyu looked at Qin Chu and said.
"You have one, but what about the person you love?" Qin Chu smiled.
"What do you mean, the person I love? I don't have one! I ran away from my Family because I didn't want to accept a Family marriage alliance, alright?" Shangshuyu glared at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stuffed the Spirit Intent Grass into Shangshuyu's hand, "Senior Sister, your thinking is a bit too dirty. Does the person you love have to be a man? Aren't your parents and Granny Yu also people you love?"
Shangshuyu reached out and punched Qin Chu. She felt that she had overthought it, and Qin Chu had no other meaning.
"The harvest is great. I just didn't expect those few scoundrels from Blade God Valley to try and kill us." Qin Chu clapped his hands. This plan was still very successful.
"Scoundrels... Hmm, that's the right word to describe them. But it's best not to say that word in front of members of the Black Tortoise Saint Family; they'll get angry!" Shangshuyu said with a smile.
Hearing the words "Black Tortoise Saint Family," Qin Chu, who was about to step away, stopped. "I will settle their scores too. No one can do wrong and go unpunished."
"That's your mother's Family!" Shangshuyu noticed the killing intent emanating from Qin Chu.
"My mother's Family... But didn't they also scheme against my mother? If they are heartless, then I will be unrighteous." Qin Chu's attitude was firm. He wouldn't let some things go; the Black Tortoise Saint Family was still holding Qingyi captive.
After hearing Qin Chu's words, Shangshuyu felt they made sense, but she worried that Qin Chu would make too many enemies and be unable to establish himself in the Jianghu.
