Chapter 972 - Rosefinch City (1/2)
Qin Haodong said, “Uncle, you trust me so much. Aren’t you afraid that I might turn out to be a liar?”
He Changqing said, “I’ve lived for so many years. I’m very confident in my judgment of character. When you just got the Black Demon Pearl, your eyes were clear, without any greed or desire. How could such a person be a liar?
“Moreover, this Black Demon Pearl is only useful to the Alien Demon. Others will only have to bear the responsibility and have nothing to gain.”
When Qin Haodong was on earth, he had also been harmed by the Alien Demon. If the so-called God of Demon really came back to life, it was hard to say whether the God of Demon would continue to threaten his homeland through that channel.
From the bottom of his heart, he naturally did not want the Black Demon Pearl to fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.
He would put the Black Demon Pearl in the Seven Storeys Pagoda when his Spirit was completely recovered. Thus, no one would be able to find it.
Thinking of this, he said, “Okay. As long as you believe in me, I will definitely take good care of this Black Demon Pearl and won’t let it be taken away by anyone.”
“Very well! I thank you on behalf of the Human,” He Changqing said and handed the Black Demon Pearl to Qin Haodong.
He Ziwei was very happy to see that her father trusted her beloved so much.
She said, “Father, the fake Lord is dead now. Do we still need to go to Rosefinch City? Or do we go back to Flame City?”
He Changqing said, “We have killed the Eighth Elder. So many people from the Ghost King Sect have died. Maybe they will come back for revenge.
“How about this? You go to Rosefinch City with Little Qin. I will go back to Flame City by myself.”
He Ziwei worriedly said, “Father, since Flame City is still in danger, you should come with us. With my Second Uncle in Rosefinch City, the Ghost King Sect will not dare to cause trouble there.”
“Things are different now. The Lord of Flame City has suddenly disappeared. It will definitely arouse suspicion if all the members of our He Family leave.
“Once it arouses the vigilance of the Ghost King Sect, it will bring unnecessary trouble to our He Family. You go with Little Qin to Rosefinch City. I will go back to Flame City to guard it. This is the best way now.”
He Ziwei knew that her father’s words made sense, so she said, “Alright! Then, you must be careful.”
“Don’t worry. I’m old. I’ll take good care of myself.”
After resting for such a long time, He Changqing had almost healed. After saying goodbye to them, he turned back and flew in the direction of Flame City.
Qin Haodong and He Ziwei continued on their journey to Rosefinch City. About two days later, a huge city appeared before their eyes.
Similar to Tortoise City, the Rosefinch City also had a formation that forbade cultivators to fly.
When the two of them arrived at the gate, He Ziwei showed her family badge to a city guard. Then, He Ziwei and Qin Haodong entered.
Compared to Tortoise City, Rosefinch City seemed bigger and more prosperous. The streets were filled with pedestrians and hawkers were everywhere, busy peddling their goods.
He Changhai was one of the most powerful generals of Rosefinch City, with a high status. He Ziwei was familiar with Rosefinch City. The two of them soon arrived at the General Mansion.
Seeing his niece suddenly appear, He Changhai was very enthusiastic. He let the two of them stay in his mansion.
However, he held an important position in Rosefinch City, so he was very busy with official matters. After eating lunch with the two of them, he hurriedly left.
He Ziwei felt bored in the mansion. She asked, “Haodong, have you been to Rosefinch City before?”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “No, this is the first time.”
“Then, I’ll bring you out for a stroll to see the scenery of the Rosefinch City!”
“Sure!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to stay in the mansion all the time. He had to get in touch with more people so that he could have more channels to search for information about the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring.
The two left the General Mansion and began to walk around in Rosefinch City.
They looked around and wandered about Rosefinch City. About two hours later, they arrived at a prosperous commercial street.
This was the most crowded place in Rosefinch City. Various restaurants and tea houses lined both sides of the street. All kinds of local specialties were sold by peddlers on the street.
As they were walking forward, a woman in white suddenly appeared not far away from them.
“Brother, have you seen this person before? He is my husband. He got lost a few days ago,” the woman in white said and showed the portrait in her hand to a middle-aged man.
Although the portrait was just a rough sketch, the image of Qin Haodong could still be seen.
“I haven’t seen him before!”
The middle-aged man shook his head and continued walking forward.
Qin Haodong grabbed He Ziwei. He did not dare to move forward, because the woman in white was Niu Cuihua, the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. He did not expect that this woman had also come to Rosefinch City to look for him.
What he worried about most now was that Niu Cuihua would suddenly regain her memory. Then, he would be in big trouble.
At this time, several rascally rogues came over and surrounded Niu Cuihua.
“Chick, you’re looking for a man, aren’t you? There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We’re all good men. You can choose any one of us.”
It seemed that rogues were everywhere. These people were here to take advantage of her.
He Ziwei hated these sorts of bullying incidents, so she said, “Let’s go over and take a look. We can’t let these rogues bully her.”
Qin Haodong grabbed her. “Don’t worry. Let’s wait and see. It’s hard to say who will bully who.”
These rogues dared to tease the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. They would die soon.
