In the afternoon, Chu Li suddenly knocked on the carriage.
Xiao Qi rode beside his carriage and asked softly, "What is it?"
"My Lady, I'm a little worried. Let's catch someone from the Ren Public House and ask," Chu Li said.
"Are you worried that Lu Yurong will go against Chong Ming Town?"
"It's possible."
"Don't worry, big brother won't fall for it."
"Let's ask."
"… Alright."
Xiao Qi called someone over and gave a few orders. Soon, they caught a spy half a mile behind them.
The carriage stopped and everyone sat in the woods to rest.
Chu Li was helped down from the carriage and sat on a bluestone. A middle-aged man stood in front of him. His appearance was ordinary and he did not look out of place in the crowd. He stood there obediently without moving an inch.
Xiao Qi stood beside Chu Li and looked at the middle-aged man, "You're from the Ren Public House. You don't have to deny it. Tell us honestly and we'll let you go!"
She interrogated him personally because she was the Third Lady of the Public House. She would keep her word and the other party would believe her if she said she would let him go. Moreover, she wanted to see through his thoughts and get the truth.
"Yes," the middle-aged man said softly, "I'm indeed a Protector of the Ren Public House."
"What's your name?" Xiao Qi asked gently.
"I'm Hu Ren," the middle-aged man answered immediately.
Xiao Qi asked, "Is that your real name?"
"Yes," the middle-aged man quickly said, "I dare not lie to you. My name is Hu Ren."
Xiao Qi looked at him calmly and signaled to a Protector beside her.
The young Protector stepped forward and hit the middle-aged man's back, causing him to fall. He then stepped on his right palm and said coldly, "You're tired of living. How dare you lie to the Third Lady!"
The middle-aged man laid on the ground. His face was covered with dust and withered grass. He struggled to raise his head and said loudly, "I dare not. My name is really Hu Ren!"
Xiao Qi shook her head and did not say anything.
The young Protector exerted force on his foot. "Crack!" His right palm was broken.
"Ah …" The middle-aged Protector screamed loudly, startling the birds in the woods.
Chu Li covered his mouth and coughed softly, looking more and more like someone who had yet to recover from a serious injury. He shook his head and sighed, "Why bother? It's just some normal questions, there's no need to play tricks. Even if Lu Yurong knows that you've confessed, she won't make things difficult for you."
"I'm telling the truth!" The middle-aged guard showed a pleading expression and said regretfully, "I'm not lying!"
Xiao Qi uttered, "His left palm is crippled too!"
"Yes, Third Miss!" The young guard responded in a deep voice. Ignoring the middle-aged man's struggles and screams, he took the opportunity to break his left palm.
Xiao Qi said, "There's a limit to my patience. Next time, I'll directly cripple your martial arts! Where did Lu Yurong go? "
"I don't know!" The middle-aged man's face was deathly pale. His palms had already been crushed, and he could not exert any strength. He sighed in a hoarse voice, "I'm just a small fry. Eh? Startled Man
"What about the Grandmasters?" Siao Qi asked.
"They've retreated back to the Public House!" The middle-aged man answered without hesitation.
He could see Siao Qi's determination. The next time she crippled his martial arts, everything would be gone, and he would rather die.
Siao Qi looked at him and shook her head, "Looks like you don't want your martial arts anymore!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly shouted, "I swear to God, if I lie, I'll die a horrible death!"
Siao Qi said, "Cripple him!"
"Yes, Third Miss!" The young guard did not hesitate to step on the middle-aged man's Dantian.
"I'll speak, I'll speak!" The middle-aged man hurriedly shouted.
Siao Qi did not speak.
The young guard exerted force with the tip of his foot and fiercely pushed. The middle-aged man screamed in despair and stared at Siao Qi. His eyes were filled with hatred as if he wanted to pierce through her.
Siao Qi calmly waved her hand, "Throw him to the side of the road."
The young guard picked up the middle-aged man and threw him to the side of the road like a dead dog. He then returned without saying a word.
Everyone was intimidated by Siao Qi and their movements became gentler.
Chu Li said, "Looks like Lu Yurong still hasn't given up."
"Yes." Siao Qi gently nodded, "She still hasn't given up even at this point … Where's her cleverness!"
Both of them could see through people's hearts. The middle-aged man lied but he was still so loyal under such circumstances. It was best to cripple him. Since he was no longer a threat, he should be spared.
Chu Li smiled. "You've mobilized so many Grandmasters, but you can't do anything about it. She's still human."
Siao Qi's watery eyes fell on his face, "Can you find them?"
She knew that Chu Li was sensitive and could seek fortune and avoid calamity. He could faintly sense danger. Through this sense of danger, he should be able to find Lu Yurong and the others.
Chu Li pondered, "Are we going to turn the tables?"
"If we take the initiative to attack once, Lu Yurong will probably give up."
"That's true … Alright, I'll try."
Siao Qi said, "I'll go with you."
Chu Li looked at her and did not object.
Siao Shi and the others continued their journey with the Protectors following closely. Chu Li and Siao Qi quietly left the convoy and used their Light-body Technique to shuttle through the forest.
After a quarter of an hour, Chu Li stopped in front of a valley and pointed at the lush valley.
Siao Qi was surprised, "They're inside?"
Chu Li nodded, "Most likely, that place is the most dangerous."
He had already seen the situation in the valley in his mind. The six Grandmasters were all there but Lu Yurong was not there. Although he had never seen Lu Yurong before, if she was there, he would definitely recognize her.
The six Grandmasters were resting in the forest in the valley. They were lazy and could not lift their spirits.
"My Lady, are we really going to fight?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, you go first. I'll lure them over!"
Siao Qi glared at him. It was obvious that she was too lazy to refute him.
Chu Li smiled, "My Light-body Technique is good. They won't be able to catch up."
"Go and call Elder Zhao and the others over!"
"Once they get close, they will definitely be alerted. It'll be hard to ambush them!" Chu Li said.
Grandmasters had an intuition towards danger. If they could sense the danger beforehand, it would be hard to ambush them. If the opponent wanted to avoid the battle, it would be hard to catch them unless they were forced into a corner like Siao Shi.
Chu Li had now figured out Lu Yurong's plan. Her goal was not to kill Siao Shi but to kill Zhao Qingshan and the others. To weaken the Yi Public House's strength, eliminating a Grandmaster was the most effective way.
It seemed like she wanted to deal with Siao Shi and numb the people of the Yi Public House. But it was like boiling a frog in warm water. Unknowingly, the strength of the Yi Public House weakened and in the end, they became the meat of the Ren Public House.
Siao Qi frowned. She was very unwilling.
Chu Li said, "My Lady, let me do it!"
Siao Qi gently shook her head, "Don't mess around!"
Chu Li smiled, "If I can't hit them, I'll escape. No problem!"
He did not wait for Siao Qi to reply. He disappeared on the spot and in another flash, he appeared in the forest in the valley.
"Swoosh!" With a light whistle, a cold light shot towards Xi Wu, the leader of the six Grandmasters of the Ren Public House.
Xi Wu was short and thin. He did not look like a top-notch master. He looked more like an old farmer.
His heart was alarmed. His body flashed and he barely avoided it. However, the speed of the flying blade was too fast. It brushed past his shoulder and drew a long wound. Blood flowed out.
"Who!" Xi Wu covered his shoulder. His face was pale. From the moment he felt the warning to when he dodged, the time was too short for him to react.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash and appeared beside Siao Qi. He whispered, "Let's go!"
Siao Qi and Chu Li used their Light-body Technique and flew away. Six figures flew out of the valley. Xi Wu and the others madly chased after them. They followed their instincts and chased after them.
Chu Li saw that things were not going well. He whispered, "My Lady, I'm sorry."
He reached out and grabbed Siao Qi's slender waist. They disappeared in a flash.
Siao Qi was about to struggle. The light and shadow in front of her distorted. Her whole body was suppressed by an invisible force and she could not move. After a moment, her eyes brightened. She was already on the main road and she did not know how far they had flown.
She turned her head and coldly stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li let go of her hand. The warmth and softness of his palm made him very reluctant. However, on the surface, he smiled as if nothing had happened. He said, "Grandmasters are really scary. They can actually catch up. But they don't dare to mess around. I hurt one of them."
"You hurt him?" Siao Qi looked at him.
Chu Li smiled and said, "The fourth level allows me to use the Infinite Azure Sea to my heart's content."
Siao Qi said, "Since you've reached the fourth level, you are still not a match for a Grandmaster!"
She was also enlightened. The fourth level of the Sentient Menace was the Meridian Refinement, which made the meridians extremely tough. It was like adding wings to a tiger for the Infinite Azure Sea. With another level of the Infinite Azure Sea, the power would be incomparable, and it would greatly increase his strength.
"Of course." Chu Li smiled. "But this time, they will not dare to be unscrupulous. They will be more obedient."
