1538: C1538 Huo Qing

C1538 Huo Qing

In front of the hall, Wu Xuanran who had just regained his senses frowned, regardless of how Lin Long's sword technique was, he only wanted Seventh Princess to marry Lin Guanghan, but now, Lin Long had won, why was he not frowning at all?

However, he did not say anything.

After announcing Lin Long's victory, Eunuch He once again went over to Wu Xuanran's side. He asked about something in a low voice while Wu Xuanran whispered something into his ear.

A moment later, the Eunuch He nodded his head and then loudly told everyone present, "Alright, the competition is over now. We will discuss the future matters in the afternoon. Everyone can go now."

The crowd immediately dispersed, and Wu Xuanran did not call Lin Long over to say anything, but turned and left.

From this, everyone could see that Wu Xuanran was not very happy to be first.

"The emperor doesn't seem to be too happy. From the looks of it, is it possible that Tang Li isn't able to marry the Seventh Princess?"

"Very likely."

"In my opinion, that's impossible, because if the Emperor were to do this, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the people of the Wu that he is someone who will break his promise?"

"That is true, but what if some accident happens to Tang Li?"

"What accident?"

"The kind that died for no reason."

Some people thought that Lin Long would definitely be able to marry into the Seventh Princess, but some people thought that it would be extremely difficult for Lin Long to do so.

Of course, this was a private discussion and no one dared to say it out loud.

Once the group dispersed, Seventh Princess was the first to rush to Lin Long's side.

"Guard Tang, you've done quite well. It's no wonder this princess thinks so highly of you." As soon as he came to Seventh Princess, he laughed.

"Of course." Lin Long said indifferently.

"Tang Li, have you decided how to marry this princess?" Then, the Seventh Princess spoke again.

"Seventh Princess, are you serious?" Lin Long looked at her and said.

"What?" You actually said that I'm not serious? We have already competed in martial arts, and in front of so many people at that! " Hearing Lin Long's words, Seventh Princess opened her eyes wide, her face clearly showing a trace of anger.

"Cough cough, Tang Li is just a guard, how could he be worthy of being called that guard?" Lin Long dryly coughed twice.

"Hmph. I don't care. In short, I must marry you." Seventh Princess snorted.

"Fine." Lin Long was speechless.

After that, the two of them returned to the An Ruo Palace.

Returning to the An Ruo hall, Lin Long took advantage of the moment when the Seventh Princess entered his room to directly go out.

"Where is the Tang Guard going?" Seeing Lin Long coming out the moment he went in, the Sun Gonggong outside asked curiously.

"Sun Gonggong, if there's anything, go outside." Lin Long said casually.

"Is that so?" Sun Gonggong did not feel that anything was amiss.

Lin Long did not have anything to do, he left because he wanted to take this opportunity to leave the Imperial Palace. If he did not leave now, he would not be able to leave until later.

Because once he obtained first place, Emperor Wu Xuanran would definitely investigate his identity thoroughly. If he found out that Tang Li's identity was fake, he would definitely send people to capture him.

Very quickly, Lin Long arrived at the southern gate of the imperial palace.

Just as he was about to leave, a person stepped in front of him. This was a middle-aged man, and after standing in front of Lin Long, he pretended to let out a cry, and said, "Hey, this isn't Guard Tang, where are you rushing to go?"

Looking at this person, Lin Long couldn't help but be shocked, because this person had Level 5 Warrior.

He didn't know this person, but from the looks of it, this person seemed to have the intention of causing trouble. If this person really stopped him, it would be a bit troublesome.

"I have something to do outside. May I know who you are?" Lin Long pretended to be calm and collected.

"There's a nobody named Huo Qing beside King of Southern Jin. You can just call me Brother Huo, Tang Guard." The middle-aged man laughed.

"So it's Brother Huo." Lin Long nodded.

After saying that, he started to worry even more. He was worried that the King of Southern Jin had called Huo Qing over to monitor him.

After all, after taking first place and injuring Lin Guanghan, he was already an enemy of the King of Southern Jin.

"Since the Tang Guard has matters to attend to, then I won't disturb you any longer, Brother Huo." As he spoke, the middle-aged man who called himself Huo Qing immediately stepped aside.

"Brother Huo, if there's a chance, please give us some pointers." After clasping his hands together, Lin Long walked out.

He had just won the competition, so he should be staying in the palace. Where was he in a hurry to go now? Looking at Lin Long's leaving figure, Huo Qing felt that something was off. In the end, he also followed along.

I want to see what this guy wants to do. If he finds out something about his secret, it will be a great contribution. Thinking about this, Huo Qing became even more determined to follow Lin Long.

In his opinion, with his Level 5 Warrior, it was simply impossible for Lin Long to discover him.

After walking out, Lin Long discovered that someone was following him from behind, and then, he confirmed that the person following him was Huo Qing.

Was it really sent by the King of Southern Jin? Lin Long could not help but have this thought pass through his mind.

With this thought, he became even more cautious.

After which, he chose the northern part of the Royal Capital. After all, there was a mountain range in that direction, and if anything were to happen, he would be able to use the complicated terrain within to escape.

Very quickly, Lin Long was outside the imperial city. Seeing Lin Long like this, Huo Qing suspected even more that Lin Long wanted to do something shady.

It's a good thing I'm on guard. Otherwise, I really would have missed such an opportunity, Huo Qing thought to himself.

After walking for a while, Huo Qing noticed that Lin Long's speed had suddenly increased.

"Could it be that this brat discovered me?" Huo Qing was shocked.

If he had been following Level 5 Warrior, he might have immediately let out the warning flame aura on his body. However, because the strength Lin Long displayed in front of him was only his Level three martial artist, he did not do so.

At this moment, he naturally sped up.

After running for a while, his face became a little ugly, he realised that Lin Long's speed was actually extremely fast, as though she was on par with him.

He was only using Level three martial artist, how could he be so fast? Huo Qing was surprised.

After a while, his expression suddenly changed, because he had actually lost Lin Long in front of him.

Did this kid really find out? Huo Qing frowned.

It was also at this time that he realised that someone had suddenly floated down from above him, who else could it be other than Lin Long who was chasing closely after him.

"Tang Li, how did you find me?" Huo Qing's expression turned ugly.

As a Level 5 Warrior cultivator, his face was naturally unsightly to be toyed with like this.

"It's simple, my spiritual will is much stronger than yours." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

"Your spiritual will is stronger than mine? Are you joking? " Huo Qing could not help but ask.

The reason he said that was entirely because Lin Long's strength was far inferior to his.

"Kid, since you have already discovered me, why did you reveal yourself?" Huo Qing asked curiously.

He thought that Lin Long still had other people helping him, but he didn't realise that there was anyone else around.

"Very simple, I'll kill you." Lin Long said lightly.

"Kill me? "Hahaha …" Huo Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A Level three martial artist actually wanted to kill him. How could he not laugh?

But at the next moment, he suddenly stopped laughing, because he realized that a wood man had appeared beside Lin Long.

Looking at the strange runes drawn on the wood man's body, he immediately asked in surprise, "This is a wood man rune you're using?"

"That's right." Lin Long nodded.

"You think just your Rune wood man is enough to deal with me?" Huo Qing said coldly.

"Of course."

"Tsk tsk, as far as I know, the strongest Rune wood man is only equivalent to Level Four Warrior. Even if your Rune wood man is the strongest, how could it deal with me?" Huo Qing scoffed.

Before his voice fell, the Rune wood man in front of him made its move, and directly punched towards Huo Qing.

Seeing that Lin Long's Rune wood man actually dared to attack, Huo Qing immediately punched out.

But, right when he released the fist force, his expression changed, because he realised that the fist force of Lin Long's Rune wood man was actually very strong, it was obvious that it had the strength of Level 5 Warrior.

"Bam!"

The punch was powerful and produced a muffled sound. Then, Huo Qing was forced to take seven to eight steps back.

"You, why are your Rune wood man so strong?" Huo Qing was surprised.

He could already tell that this wood man rune was much stronger than him.

After feeling surprised, he quickly took out his own rune sword and struck towards Lin Long's Rune wood man.

The Rune wood man threw another punch over.

Once again, Huo Qing was forced to retreat from the Qi-Storing. Even when he took out the rune sword, he was still a far cry from the other party.

Sensing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran, but who would have thought that the wood man s' speed was equally fast. Just as he moved, the wood man's fist energy attacked again.

He was not a match for the wood man. If she did not run now, she would not have a chance later.

It was also because of this that he did not even turn around. He was prepared to take on the attack of the Rune wood man head on, and then take advantage of the instant that the Rune wood man stopped to activate the wings on her back to escape.

As his mind raced, the Rune wood man's fist force smashed into his body, but because he had dodged a certain distance, this punch was only enough to injure him a little, and not heavily injure him.

At the moment when the Rune wood man stopped for a moment, he endured the pain and activated the wings on her back.

However, right at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. It was Lin Long who was standing at the side before.2

"You're courting death!" Huo Qing shouted in anger.

In his view, Lin Long was merely a Level three martial artist, to actually dare to block Level 5 Warrior, this kind of behavior was clearly courting death.

Immediately, he slashed towards Lin Long.

In that moment, a powerful Sword Qi struck at Lin Long.
