Supreme Ruler of All Under Heaven

  Mr. Wu gave a blue gemstone as a gift, about the size of an infant's palm, shaped like a pear.

  Chu Qingkuang was shocked at first sight: "Big brother, this stone, isn't it the legendary Tianxin Stone?"

  Wu Lao Tou's eyes showed a hint of approval, and he nodded: "You still have some insight. This is a rare gemstone from the top of Kunlun Mountain's Xing Su Hai, which can also be used as medicine. Its medicinal properties are extremely hot, and when used to rub various joints on the body, it can make the blood vessels unobstructed, eliminate diseases, and prolong life. It is said to have a beauty-enhancing effect as well! Since Rong Er's legs cannot move, and good medicine for treatment cannot be found for the time being, using this stone to massage the acupoints from time to time will only bring benefits and no harm!"

  "Thanks a lot, big brother!" Chu Qingkong hastily grabbed the Tianxin Stone and handed it over to Xiao Congrong.

  The peak of Kunlun Mountain is extremely difficult to climb, and the shape, color and ordinary stones on the mountain are not much different from this gemstone, so it is extremely difficult to find. In the martial arts world, there is also a rumor that says that if this gemstone is ground into powder and taken, it can cure cold poison, and is considered a treasure by the people of the martial arts world.

  Afraid that Old Wu would regret it, he quickly snatched it. Xiao Zong heard that the leg was good and didn't pretend to be polite, straightforwardly accepting: "Thank you, big brother!"

  Some kindness should be accepted graciously when needed, and repaid when able, this is her guiding principle.

  Old Man Wu smiled and handed a small jade bottle to Xiao Zongrong, saying: "It's also our fate, so let's do it thoroughly! This is the Ling Stone Xian Ru I collected in a mountain cave years ago. After inhaling it, your whole body will feel cool and refreshing, your true energy will flow freely, and your meridians will be unobstructed. I gave half of it to my dear daughter before, now I'll give you the remaining half!"

  Xiao Congrong was stunned and didn't dare to accept it, this must be very precious!

  Wu Lao Tou stuffed it into Chu Qing's hand and said, "Give her a dose, then use your internal energy to help guide the flow of true qi for several cycles, maybe it will be helpful!"

  This time, Chu Qing was not as calm when he received it. He hesitated and looked at Xiao Congrong, but couldn't bear to return it. He gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother's great kindness, little brother has no way to repay, in the future if there is a need for little brother's place, I will rush into boiling water and walk through fire without hesitation!"

  "Alright, alright, it's no fun for brothers like us to say things like that! This is a gift for my brother's wife, next time you get married I'll give you a bigger gift, haha!"

  One sentence made Chu Qing's face slightly red, and she glanced at Xiao Zongrong before putting away the medicine bottle.

  Old Wu nodded and said: "Little brother, I've been out for a long time, it's about time to go back and take a look at those useless disciples of mine! Since Rong'er seems fine now, I'll take my leave first. I'll come visit you again after some time!"

  Chu Qing was taken aback: "Big brother is leaving?"

  "Hmm!" Old Man Wu pulled Xiao Zong's hand and said: "Zong, your pulse is disordered, you need to pay attention to regulating your breath! If it weren't for this body of internal energy protecting you, you would have died already! Your internal skill is very pure, how many years have you practiced?"

  Xiao looked at him in surprise as he took her pulse, asking casually.

  "What kind of power?" She frowned and asked, the internal strength in martial arts? In her body? Didn't she hear it wrong!

  "You haven't practiced martial arts?" Wu Lao asked in surprise, her internal energy still as scattered as when he first met her, and now that she was awake, it was still scattered, apart from the explanation that she didn't know martial arts, he couldn't find any other reason to explain!

  Xiao Zongrong subconsciously shook his head, even if she had learned grappling and boxing in her previous life, it was impossible to bring it into this body, how could he have martial arts skills?

  Wu Lao's face was even more shocked, grabbing her other wrist, both hands grasped together, a warm and hot air flow rushed towards Xiao Cong.

  In a short while, Xiao felt the "qi" in her body surging towards her wrists, the impact of blood in her veins was an unprecedented experience, making her feel that her blood flow would be brought to a boil by this heat wave...

  Just when he couldn't bear it anymore, Old Wu let her go, staring at her in surprise, shaking his head for a long time and saying: "The power on your body is at least fifty years old. At your age, it's definitely not something you cultivated yourself. You must have had some kind of mysterious encounter!"

  Chu Qing was stunned, looking at Wu Lao in shock, then at Xiao Zongrong, disbelieving. He grabbed her wrist with a burst of strength, and instantly, a surge of power from Xiao Zongrong's body reflexively countered back, shocking him into releasing his grip, as if scalded by hot coals.

  Xiao looked at them calmly, seeing that their reactions didn't seem fake. He then recalled the events of these past days and soon realized what had happened. Letting out a low sigh, he said: "If you say I really have abilities, it must be what my grandfather left me!"

  She recounted the events of her private meeting with Old Master Hou in the Heavenly Prison, subconsciously glossing over the scriptures that Old Master Hou had asked her to recite. If those were indeed martial secrets, they belonged to the Xiao family! She had no right to reveal them.

  Isn't the secret of martial arts in Wuxia not to be passed on? Besides, she doesn't know much about Chu Qingcang and Wu Guanzong yet, let's hide it for now and talk about it later when we see clearly!

  After hearing Wu Lao Tou and Chu Qing Kuang exchange a glance, they said in unison: "It must be Old Hou Ye who passed on his skills to you!"

  Xiao Congrong also felt that only this explanation made sense, and she smiled bitterly. A person with a broken leg, who doesn't know martial arts, what's the use of having such abilities?

  Old Man Wu and Chu Qing were not thinking that way, Old Man Wu clapped his hands and said: "In that case, I'll stay for two more days! I have a set of internal skill techniques that are very suitable for you, I'll teach them to you first, after I leave, let Brother Chu teach you light skills, so even if your legs can't be cured, it will be much more convenient. When I go back, I'll find another brother to come and teach you hidden weapons, so no matter who bullies you, you can protect yourself!"

  "Thanks to Big Brother and Master Chu!" Xiao Congrong was overjoyed, having been oppressed by others for a long time, unexpectedly obtaining this inner strength, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise!

  Just thinking that it was the accomplishment of Xiao Lao Hou Ye and even the entire Xiao Fu, it made her heart ache again, secretly vowing that although she wasn't the real Xiao Cong Rong, for this accomplishment, from now on she would live without disgracing the Xiao family!

  Chu Qing was overjoyed and had no time to think about Xiao's composure, saying that he wanted to thank Wu Laoye properly, and at dinner that night, he brought out the fine wine he had sought after with great effort to treat Laoye.

  That night, Xiao Zong drank the Ling Shi Xian Ru sent by Lao Ye Zi and began to cultivate Nei Gong Xin Fa with the help of Chu Qing Kuang. However, the meridians on his legs were too severely injured and could not run smoothly.

  Although so, after cultivating the internal skill and mental method taught by the old master, the flow of air in the body is no longer chaotic, and the pain on the body has also eased a lot.

  She was exceptionally intelligent and had a photographic memory. The old man only needed to teach her once, and she would remember it forever. With nothing else to do, the old man couldn't stay for more than two days before bidding farewell, saying he would definitely come back to visit her again.

  Xiao Congrong lost Xiao Lao Houye again, and met Wu Lao Yezi, who was equally affectionate towards her. When it was time to leave, he couldn't bear to part with her, so he left his address behind, saying that when he recovered from his injuries, if it wasn't convenient for him, she would go visit him!

  Chu Qing couldn't withstand Xiao Zong's verbal attacks, saying that after all she was a woman and some things were inconvenient for her to pursue further, so she found a maid for her instead.

  This maid was found by Hua Junzi, named Qiao Yan, about 15 or 16 years old, very clever and skilled in martial arts, carrying Xiao with ease.

  Hua Junzi said to protect Xiao Congrong, but ended up breaking his promise. He has been feeling a bit guilty ever since and found Qiao Yan to introduce her to Xiao Congrong: "This is my distant cousin, she's from a poor family and has always followed me around. She talks too much and can't control herself, but she doesn't have any ill intentions. If you need anything, just tell her, and if she dares to make things difficult for you, tell me and I'll deal with her!"

  Qiao Yan made a face at him and pouted, saying: "Qiao Yan wouldn't dare to make things difficult for Xiao Jie! Not only is she someone I admire as a heroine, but also because she's someone Gongzi cares about. If I were to make things difficult for her, I'd be afraid of being scolded by Gongzi!"

  Xiao Cong Rong's face turned red, and Hua Junzi glared at her, scolding: "You'd better watch your mouth and stop spouting nonsense. If you say something wrong and anger the young master, I won't be able to protect you either. Go back home and farm!"

  "Ah...... I won't say anything more, Brother Hua, don't send me back!"

  Clever swallow tugged at Hua Junzi's sleeve, shaking it vigorously, but accidentally tore his sleeve with too much force. Enraged, Hua Junzi jumped up and down: "This month's salary will be used to buy me new clothes!"

  Xiao Yan giggled: "I'll just give you some compensation, why are you taking advantage of me? Be careful or I'll go back and tell Auntie that you're bullying me!"

  Hua Junzi was out of patience and suddenly jumped up: "I've told you countless times, don't call me Brother Hua, it sounds like a girl!"

  Clever swallow innocently said: "Aren't you surnamed Hua? Why not call Brother Hua, but instead call Brother Zhe? Zhe and Zhé (fold) sound the same, people will think you're going to die young!"

  Xiao Zongrong thought it was quite interesting to see Hua Junzi being driven away by Qiao Yan, looking flustered and defeated.

  Of course, after Chun Xiang, she was no longer interested in being 'intimate' with the maids, and it was necessary to maintain a proper distance before things became unclear...

  Qiao Yan's physical strength was limited, and Xiao Congrong sitting in a wheelchair was inconvenient. After she recovered, she asked Chu Qingkuang to find a flat house for her to move out, saying that it would be more convenient for herself to enter and exit. Although this is the main reason, there is another reason: she accidentally heard Qiao Yan say that this building is where Chu Qingkuang lives, and generally people are not allowed to enter at will. She had occupied Chu Qingkuang's bedroom for so long, thinking about it was like a guest becoming the host, so she didn't wait for others to mention it, but brought it up herself.

  Chu Qing thought about it and agreed to let Xiao Congrong move downstairs, as she was getting better and staying upstairs for a whole day was also annoying. There was a big garden downstairs where she could relax, so they cleaned up the backyard, repainted it, removed all the door bars, and then moved Xiao Congrong down.

  He said to Xiao Congrong, "Congrong, the fact that I took you away is only known to my people, and outsiders don't know about it. You haven't recovered yet, for your safety, it's best not to go out for now, okay?"

  Xiao Congrong only then realized the great danger that Chu Qing had taken in taking her in, and felt grateful in her heart. She nodded and said: "I'll listen to you! I won't go out!"

  Chu Qing smiled and squatted in front of her, holding her hand: "Don't worry, I won't let you stay at home for the rest of your life! The people of Xiao's family will not die in vain either. When the time is right, I will definitely give you justice and help the Xiao family wash away the crime of treason!"

  Xiao Congrong looked at him, the cunning and frivolous expression that used to be in his eyes had long been gone, as if that rainy night had washed away his arrogance. The handsome facial features became increasingly stern, and even an unintentional glance was filled with a majestic aura of unyielding dignity.

  It seems that the frivolous and flighty young man transformed overnight into a bold and daring big man, his shoulders strong enough to bear the weight of wind and rain, becoming solid and reliable, enough for people to rely on... but can she rely on him?

  After experiencing hardships and betrayals, her heart has hardened. She is no longer easily moved by others, so how can she still allow herself to rely on others?

  Her hand had already gone down, and a new fingernail was slowly growing out from the root, only a short distance. Holding it in Chu Qing's hand made her feel strange, she wanted to pull it out, but Qing held on tightly, looked at it seriously and said: "It's recovering well, Wu Ge's medicine is really effective, another month and it will be back to normal!"

  "Really! Luckily I met you guys, otherwise I would have died in the chaotic tomb!"

  Xiao Congrong really felt lucky, his hands could recover to their original state, and he had gained a strong inner power. Although his lightness skill was not yet fully mastered, using crutches or sitting in a wheelchair was no longer as difficult as before.

  It was also Chu Qing's credit that he found someone to make a pair of crutches exactly the same as hers, so that she would think of her life in Yu's mansion whenever she saw the crutches. At that time, I thought it was the starting point of her new life, but unexpectedly it was the continuation of her misfortune. It can be seen that things in the world are not what one wants them to be!

  Chu Qingfan grasped her fingers, placed them on his lips and kissed them, before saying with deep meaning: "I also feel fortunate to have made it in time to save you, otherwise it would be a lifelong regret of mine!"

  "Lightly mad..." Xiao Congrong didn't know what to say, he was used to calling him Chu Gongzi, and it wasn't until Chu Qingkuang scolded him that he changed his mouth to call him Qingkuang.

  He said, don't be so distant, Chu Gongzi is what outsiders call me, I can't bear you treating me like an outsider!

  She called him Chu Da Ge, he said, "I don't want to be your brother." As soon as I heard it, I thought of you calling Wu Ming Yuan. I don't want to be that kind of brother!

  The tone was full of flavor, making Xiao Congyan blush with shame. The one who liked Wu Mingyuan was the former Xiao Congrong, not her! What kind of flavor is this?!

  He was scolded by him twice, Xiao Zongrong had no choice but to call him Chu Qingkuang, sometimes when he was annoyed, he would call him by his full name.

  Just like in modern times, once he let go, he was completely unscrupulous, and Chu Qingxiang didn't mind at all. It seemed that he even liked this kind of address, saying that he could feel the real and unpretentious Xiao Zongrong from it! The Rongrong he liked should be a woman who stood out from the crowd like this...

  Facing the suddenly released Chu Qingcang, Xiao Zongrong couldn't adapt. He seemed to have a great awakening overnight and no longer hid his true feelings, seeking every opportunity to show his affection for her.

  He treated her with an unusual gentleness, gazing at her with deep affection, as if afraid that tomorrow would be the end of the world and they wouldn't have time to say their goodbyes before parting ways.

  Such feelings made her bewildered and also made her feel unreal. She really didn't know what she had that was worth his deep love...

  The more Xiao Zong knew Chu Qingkuang, the more he found that this person was not a simple businessman. Without mentioning his extraordinary martial arts skills, just looking at his demeanor and speech, Xiao Zong felt that Chu Qingkuang was an enigma.

  Chu Qingxian once said she was an enigma, and now he's laughing at himself for not being so.

  Ordinary merchants are full of copper stench and vulgarity, but Chu Qingxiao is not. Abandoning this identity, he looks more like another prince of the Wu family!

  Finest food and clothing at all times, the place to live is extremely luxurious, a single painting in the Listening Rain Pavilion is worth thousands of dollars, let alone other antique collections.

  And his eloquence was not something that ordinary people could compare to, he seemed to have been to many places and knew the local specialties like the back of his hand. When Xiao Zong heard that he had even been to Tianzhu, he was even more astonished.

  In terms of ancient transportation, it would take a year and a half to make a round trip. Can this elegant and refined young master who seems to be above worldly affairs endure the hardships of desert winds and sand?

  Xiao couldn't show any sign of knowing about Tianzhu and other places, so he pretended to be very interested in the outside world that the other person described, saying that when his leg got better, he would definitely go out and take a look around, lest he became narrow-minded and thought that the whole world was as small as the capital city.

  For her pretended 'excitement', Chu Qing was overjoyed, grabbed her hand and excitedly said: "I knew you'd definitely like it! Don't worry, even if you can't walk, I'll take you to see the outside world, let you see the beautiful scenery I've been telling you about with your own eyes! I know you'll understand me..."

  Xiao Congrong felt a bit embarrassed, for her own deception. After feeling embarrassed, she also felt relieved. At least Chu Qingchuan was not like those men she had met in this world, who thought that the capital city was the entire world!

  The imperial city is just so big, with such narrow vision, how can there be a broad and generous mind!

  For example, the third prince Wu Mingyuan... Xiao Congrong learned from Hua Junzi's mouth that his right hand was cut off by Chu Qingkuang, and he felt a lot of emotion and deeply understood why he refused to see guests!

  A person who is supposed to be a crown prince and an emperor, how can he accept his own disability?

  If one day he becomes the supreme ruler of the world, will this become an indelible shame for him that he would be willing to accept?

  Xiao Congrong felt that this matter was far from over. Given his personality, if he knew it was Chu Qingchuan who did it, he would definitely not let him off...
