"That day, when I came back from outside, I saw a man sneaking into the inn. He told the innkeeper that he had a letter for you. Cao Xin wanted to open the letter, but since I was by his side, he could only give up."
"After that, I was a little worried, so I secretly followed the person who delivered the letter. I found out that he was a member of the Cloud Sea Gang." Mu Si told Nie Li what happened that day. When Nie Li heard it, the doubt in his heart deepened. Xie Peng was from the Cloud Sea Gang, and the person who delivered the letter was actually a member of the Cloud Sea Gang. What about Zhou Qing? He's probably also from the Cloud Sea Gang, but what was his purpose?
"That night, I found out that you went out alone. I was worried, so I followed you." Mu Si said embarrassedly. Her expression was a little awkward. Nie Li didn't mind, after all, Mu Si had good intentions.
"That Zhou Qing, do you know who he is?" Nie Li asked. He pondered for a while. If it was an internal conflict, then his relationship with Xie Peng and Cao Xin could be used by the other party.
"I don't know. It's also my first time in Cloud Sea City, so I don't know much about it." Mu Si said, shaking her head. That Zhou Qing was able to provide information to Nie Li, which means that his position in the Cloud Sea Gang is not low. But why has she never heard of such a person?
Nie Li didn't ask any more questions. It seems that he has to find Zhou Yue as soon as possible and ask him. He knows about Cloud Sea Gang, so he probably heard of Zhou Qing.
"However, now that Xie Peng is dead, we can focus on dealing with Cao Xin." Although the current situation is a little troublesome, Xie Peng's death is still a good thing for him.
"I'm also responsible for this matter, but I let you take the risk alone." Mu Si said, embarrassed.
"Right now, the most important thing is to raise my cultivation. I'm afraid that the innkeeper's martial arts are even more profound. I'm afraid that it'll be difficult for me to deal with him alone." Nie Li couldn't help but feel worried. Dealing with Xie Peng was already a situation of nine deaths, but this Cao Xin gave him an even more dangerous feeling. If Mu Si can't be an effective helper, then he's afraid that it'll be very difficult for him.
"I've already broken through to the Viscera Training realm... believe that with your fighting strength, even if Cao Xin makes a move, he won't have any advantage." Mu Si proudly said said said... It also made him realize his own shortcomings.
Nie Li felt relieved after hearing Mu Si's words. After a few words, Nie Li got up and left the inn. He was going to the Yang Mansion to ask Zhou Yue. As soon as he left the inn, Nie Li felt that someone was following him.
This time, he did not believe that it was Mu Si. He decided to beat her at her own game and brought her to a remote place. Walking to the alley where Zhou Yue was begging, Nie Li turned and hid. The people behind him didn't notice Nie Li's intention and continued to follow him.
He stuck out half of his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one on the long path, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. It was too late for him to run. A cold blade was placed on his neck.
"Speak! Why did Cao Xin send you here? "Nie Li looked at Lin Feng. This lackey of Cao Xin must have been ordered to follow him.
/p
"Young hero, I'm just following the shopkeeper's orders. He's just following you to find out about your whereabouts." Lin Feng nervously said. He was well aware of the conflict between Nie Li and Cao Xin. It's useless to play dumb, so it's better to be honest.
"Do you know where Cao Xin hides the stolen treasures?" Nie Li asked, hoping for a bit of luck.
"Cao Xin will give these treasures to some important people in the Sea of Clouds Faction or some influential people in exchange for his own benefits." After listening to Lin Feng's words, Nie Li's heart thumped. He was afraid that Mu Si's things had already become someone else's.
"Tell me everything you know." Nie Li couldn't help but increase the strength of the blade. A trace of blood flowed along the blade.
"Young hero, I'm just a little brother. How would I know so much?" Lin Feng felt the pain, but he didn't dare to say anything. His life was in Nie Li's hands.
"Do you know Zhou Qing?" Nie Li asked. Maybe Lin Feng knew this person.
"I don't know any Zhou Qing." Lin Feng shook his head and said. But as soon as his voice fell, there was no sound. Nie Li put away the blade and left. His figure disappeared at the end of the long road. Lin Feng's body fell in the corner. No one cared about it. A few rats slowly crawled on the body.
He came to the Yang Mansion and asked to see Yang Su Rou. The servant saw Nie Li's outstanding temperament and handsome face. He thought that he knew the Miss and hurried to the mansion to report.
A moment later, he happily welcomed Nie Li into the mansion. Following the servant to the west side room, Nie Li saw Yang Su Rou, the Zhou siblings and that person in the pavilion yesterday. But today, there was one more person.
"Little brother Nie Li is here! Sit down. " Zhang Jun Shi was stunned when he saw Nie Li. Then, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He stood up and pulled Nie Li. That enthusiastic look really made people have a good impression of him. But Nie Li's face was still cold.
"No need to trouble Brother Zhang. I just came to ask Zhou Yue something." Nie Li said. Zhang Jun Shi didn't seem to hear the meaning of rejection. He was still as enthusiastic as before. But there was no smile or joy in his eyes.
Qin Xinyin looked at Nie Li. She wanted to say something, but she stopped. Nie Li also smiled in his heart. Yesterday was after all a dream.
"Big brother Nie, why are you looking for me?" Zhou Yue followed Nie Li out of the pavilion and asked.
"You've been in Drifting Cloud City for so long. Do you know Zhou Qing?" Nie Li felt that if Lin Feng didn't know this person, Zhou Yue wouldn't know either.
"Zhou Qing? Big brother Nie, why are you mentioning this person? " The smile on Zhou Yue's face disappeared. His eyes were filled with fierceness and anger that didn't belong to his age.
"You know him?" Nie Li never thought that Zhou Yue would know Zhou Qing. This was out of his expectations.
"Even if he turned into ashes, I would still recognize him. That bastard." Zhou Yue gnashed his teeth, as if he couldn't wait to cut Zhou Qing into pieces.
"Can you tell me about him?" Nie Li probed. He didn't want Zhou Yue to reopen his scars.
"He is my elder brother. When I was young, my father took pity on him and adopted him. But who would have thought that he would try to poison my father's food and kill him. After that, he disappeared." Zhou Yue's eyes were red and his fists were clenched tightly as he spoke.
Nie Li never thought that Zhou Qing would be so vicious. He killed his father with his own hands. He could even do such a heartless thing. "Big brother Nie, how do you know this person?"
Nie Li told him about what happened. "I never thought that Zhou Qing would be so ambitious. He actually coveted the position of the Master of the Sea of Clouds Gang."
"Big brother Nie, do you know that my father is the previous Master of the Sea of Clouds Gang, Zhou Hong?" Zhou Yue's words were shocking. Nie Li never thought that Zhou Yue's father would be the previous Master of the Sea of Clouds Gang.
"I'm afraid that Zhou Qing's intention is to use my hand to help him eliminate his enemies." Nie Li never thought that there would be such an inside story.
"Big brother Nie, if there's a chance, I hope that I can kill this bastard with my own hands." Zhou Yue knew about the matter between Zhou Qing and Nie Li. Since he came looking for Nie Li, he will definitely come looking for Nie Li.
"Okay." Nie Li nodded in agreement. He asked about the situation of the Sea of Clouds Gang, then got up and left. Zhou Yue warned him to be careful and to pay attention to Zhou Qing.
"Why did Nie Li leave?" Yang Surou looked at Nie Li leaving without a word and felt indignant.
"Big brother Nie has an urgent matter. He just asked me a few things and left in a hurry." Zhou Yue said good words to help Nie Li. He didn't want to cause a rift between Yang Surou and Nie Li because of this matter.
Qin Xinyin didn't say anything, but Zhou Yue's words made her feel uneasy. Nie Li went looking for Zhou Yue yesterday and was covered in injuries at night. What about today? But why did she care so much about it?
Zhang Junshi didn't reveal any expression. However, Nie Li's departure still made him happy. After all, without Nie Li, he can get close to Qin Xinyin.
After leaving the Yang Mansion and walking on the street, Nie Li looked at the huge Cloud Sea City. He actually has nowhere to go. Aside from the inn, there's no other place for him to stay.
"Big brother, it's this guy." A loud shout startled Nie Li. He raised his head and saw a person pointing at him. There were four or five people behind him. Nie Li looked carefully and saw that they were the two beggars that he beat up that day.
"Brat, I heard that you stole my brother's things." A beggar in ragged clothes was holding a wooden stick. His skin was white and his face was white and rosy. He didn't look weak like the other beggars. It seems that he has some status in the gang.
"You have to ask him where the money came from." Nie Li said in a cold voice. The leader of the beggars turned his head to take a look. From the eyes of his subordinates, he knew what was going on. This kind of situation has happened before. As beggars, they don't have a good meal to begin with. Relying on their own ability to snatch food, they can only rely on themselves. Furthermore, he had already said that if he didn't get it back for him, how would his underlings look at him in the future?
"But this money was taken by him, so it's his." The beggar hit the ground with the wooden stick.
"Then I have the ability to take it back from him." Nie Li looked at him coldly.
"Then I will take it back. Remember, this is Jianghu. The fist is the absolute truth. " After saying that, the beggar raised the wooden stick and quickly waved it. Shadows of the stick fell everywhere. The explosion in the air was like thunder.
Looking at this clumsy attack that was full of flaws, Nie Li used a Sword Draw.
Extremely fast, drawing a beautiful arc, the cold moon is just like this.
Extreme cold, blooming the tip of the sword, the fluttering snowflakes are just like this.
In the blink of an eye, the wooden stick raised by the beggar was split into two and fell to the ground. There was blood on the beggar's neck.
Seeing people fighting in the street, the pedestrians all hid far away. The court was too far away, but Jianghu was right next to them. Disputes and grievances were solved by killing, so this kind of situation is very common.
It's just that this kind of sword technique is too rare. It's so fast that no one saw Nie Li's move, and the person was already dead. Some chivalrous people were amazed. When did Jianghu have such a rising star?
"Good, good saber technique." A deep voice rang out.
