Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 106: Forcing Her To This Extent

The system spirit watched the one-sided battle, and shook its head. [Beauty Qiao, I feel like you’re quite short-tempered recently.]

Gu Xiqiao glanced at Bao Xinyi who was lying unconscious on the ground, and kicked her a few times. When she confirmed there was no response, she returned to the river. “It’s your imagination, I’m just getting rid of things that are harmful to the villagers.”

She looked to see that Su Wen was gradually coming around, and she left with a peace of mind.

Gu Xiqiao was throwing the entire matter of the mountains issue to Tang Qinghong to settle, and since it was caused by him anyway, she didn’t feel too guilty about it.

Tang Qinghong was fishing Su Wen out of the water with a slightly resigned expression on his face. “You’re really something.”

“I didn’t even realize anything.” Su Wen’s face was still flushed, and he punched the ground with his fist, “It just happened suddenly, and I still don’t understand how I was tricked. Don’t let me see her face ever again!”

“I didn’t want any of you to get involved in this initially… Jia Wei is still in the cave. I’ll take Bao Xinyi away,” Tang Qinghong said, sighing. “I’ll explain the matter to you later. For now, just take Jia Wei back.”

The two exchanged a few more words, and Tang Qinghong left.

Returning to Gu Xiqiao’s yard, he was about to head upstairs to look for Gu Xiqiao, but found the door to be locked tight. Tang Qinghong stood outside the door, thinking about how it was likely that she was avoiding him deliberately. Knowing that she definitely thought that he had overstepped his boundaries, he knew there was nothing else he could have done.

But seeing the rough way that Gu Xiqiao had treated Su Wen in the afternoon, Tang Qinghong felt that she treated him relatively more gently compared to that. It was most probably due to his relationship with Tang Yanling.

His room was very simple, a table, a bed, a computer, and a diagram that seemed to be the Eight Trigram on the middle of the floor.

Tang Qinghong first walked around the Eight Trigram diagram, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, he turned on the computer. He logged into the exclusive forum that was available in the ancient martial arts world, and started to report to the moderator on the incident today, and the more recent strange happenings. He hesitated a little on the option of whether he needed assistance, but ultimately decided before clicking on ‘No’.

The people from the ancient martial arts world were different from ordinary people. In today’s era, the people who learn ancient martial arts were few and far between, but there were many things in the world that were impossible for normal people to solve, and it required someone from the ancient martial arts world to handle it. Therefore, there was a forum that was moderated by the ancient martial arts world, with the intention to manage the martial artists. The tasks that they took on could be exchanged for points, and the points could be exchanged for treasures or money that would benefit them.

The ones behind the Huaguo Forum are the three major ancient martial arts families that remain, and that was also the reason why no one dared to cause any problems on site. However, the three major families were not very concerned with small matters such as this, only the smaller, less known martial artists who were lacking resources would choose to complete the tasks in order to gain points and exchange items.
