Chapter 0172 – I Don’t Have Time, So I’ll Ride on Your Back – Absolute Returns

“Why don’t you catch him here?”

“Our target is not him, and although he has good strength, he is nothing more than a pawn. Even if we capture him, we won’t be able to ask anything of value.”

Judging from the current situation, the President of the Heavenly Fate Society was by no means an idle person, and it was never easy to catch him.

“So what are you going to do?”

“Our target is Zhao Xin.”

“What do you want to do with him?”

“I’m going to push him to the brink and see how Cao Li Bo will react. The only person who can draw out the Chairman of the Heavenly Fate Society is Cao Li Bo.”

Qin Batian secretly admired Jian Wuji’s intelligence and thunderous style of action in his heart, how good it would be to have such a granddaughter-in-law.

It’s a shame ……

It was a pity that not only was Jian Wuji unlikely to become one’s granddaughter-in-law, but instead, he was a potential enemy of the righteous martial arts, and, moreover, an extremely dangerous one.

He suppressed the feeling of regret in his heart and said lightly, “There are only four days left.”

The next day, Qin Xia Ling walked out of her room wearing a beloved power suit.

Jian Wu Ji asked her to go to the East Lake for a trip.

Along the way, she was in a happy mood, as if she had returned to her carefree teenage years. However, the happier she was, the more she felt a hint of bitterness.

Wouldn’t it be nice if he wasn’t a squire ……

The subtext of this statement was that she could not, or would not, marry a squire.

She knew in her heart of hearts that she would never be able to cross that chasm of identity.

What a hypocrite!

Various thoughts were intertwined in her mind, and before she knew it, the two of them had arrived at the East Lake.

The two of them quietly looked at the sparkling lake, and after a long time, Jian Wuji took the lead in breaking the silence.

“They say it’s easy to meet, but hard to stay together.”

“What are you doing talking about this all of a sudden?”

“I’m leaving in a few days.”

“What?”

“Thanks for taking care of me during this time.”

Qin Xia Ling was shocked at his words.

“Where are you going?”

“Back home.”

An inexplicable loss surged in her heart. She had always been a loner and did not have many friends, and Jian Wuji was one of the few people that she could feel close to. She wanted to open her mouth to stay, but the words reached her lips, but she swallowed them back.

She was in no position to interfere in his life, not to mention, when she joined the Martial Arts Alliance, how many chances would they have to see each other when they got together and were away from each other?

“Don’t forget about me when you become a martial arts ally in the future.”

“What?”

She was puzzled when suddenly, a strong wind hit her.

Due to being too focused on her conversation with Jian Wuji, she didn’t even notice anyone approaching.

She jerked around, but it was too late.

Snap!

Tie Kun’s figure appeared behind her like a ghost, striking like lightning and sealing her acupuncture points. The disparity in strength between the two, coupled with being unprepared, Qin Xia Ling was simply powerless to resist.

After Tie Kun subdued Qin Xia Ling, his gaze turned to Jian Wu Ji.

“Don’t hurt him!” Qin Xia Ling shouted.

She thought that Tie Kun was going to kill and silence her, after all, if she was the target, there was no reason for the other party to spare Jian Wuji.

“Don’t! Please, leave him alone!”

In the face of her pleas, Tie Kun was indifferent, walking step by step towards Jian Wuji, the longsword in his hand raised high, looking to cut off his arm.

Just then, a mountainous aura came from behind Tie Kun. His hairs stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis surged through his heart. If it were usual, he would have turned around and fled.

However, his body was unable to move as if it had been immobilized. He felt like a flat boat, floating in the midst of the waves, with nothing around him that he could rely on.

With all his might, he turned around.

He only saw a huge wave that covered the sky and was coming towards him head on. Martial Alliance Master Qin Batian, at some point, had already stood behind him.

“Shit!”

He wanted to escape but it was too late, his acupoints were sealed and he couldn’t move.

Tie Kun couldn’t figure out how the Martial Arts Alliance Master could appear here.

Is it a trap?

Did Zhao Xin betray him?

Otherwise, why would he be late?

Jian Wuji’s gaze, passing through the layers of trees, saw Zhao Xin hiding in the shadows.

Don’t come out!

Tie Kun’s break with Zhao Xin was exactly the result he wanted.

Zhao Xin hid in the woods, observing the developments. The moment he saw Qin Batian appear, he instantly panicked.

Done!

What should he explain if he goes out now? Should he say that he just wanted to heroically save a beauty? In that case, his marriage with Qin Xia Ling would be completely out of the question. Moreover, how should he explain Tie Kun’s identity?

However, he couldn’t bear to just walk away, after all, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Tie Kun get caught.

He wanted to go out, but his feet felt like lead, he couldn’t take a step. He thought that it was because he was afraid of Qin Batian, but he didn’t know that it was Jian Wuji who had secretly suppressed him with his aura. Panicked, he didn’t even notice this.

Damn!

In the end, he chose to run away, intending to wait until the situation calmed down. He turned around to leave, but realized that his body was out of control, and he ghosted in the opposite direction.

Qin Batian undid Qin Xiaoling’s acupoints.

“Grandpa! What brings you here?”

“It’s a long story, I’ll tell you more slowly when we get back.”

The most important thing now is to follow the plan.

Qin Batian and Jian Wuji exchanged a look.

He grabbed Tie Kun and rose into the air, disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye. The height of his lightness was breathtaking.

Qin Xia Ling asked in disbelief, “What the hell is going on here?”

She sensed that things didn’t seem simple.

“Let’s go too, this is no place to talk. Are you dizzy from the heights?”

“What do you mean?”

“I asked if you’re dizzy with heights.”

“I never get high.”

“That’s good, if you feel dizzy, close your eyes and don’t throw up on my back.”

Jian Wu Ji said, turning around and bending down.

“Come up here, let’s go.”

As things were urgent, Qin Xia Ling couldn’t care less about thinking, and obediently plopped down on Jian Wuji’s back. He’s actually going to carry me on his back to escape? Why? It’s not like I’m injured? Her heart was filled with doubts.

“You didn’t think that I’d be worried about you getting dizzy heights and that’s why I’m carrying you, did you? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
