He was lucky to be able to find Jiang Kuai's trail. He could not let go of this clue. He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly there. A thousand miles was not far in his eyes.
"Don't you need to go back and prepare?" Su Ru said, "Bring some clothes."
Chu Li shook his head. "I can't care about this. This is a rare opportunity. I'll leave immediately. I think I can get there in one night!"
"Alright." Siao Qi gently nodded. "Be careful of Jiang Kuai. Not only is his Light-body Technique excellent, but his martial arts is also very powerful. I heard that he has a profound fist technique. Don't think that only his Light-body Technique is good and neglect his fist technique!"
Chu Li smiled. "Of course. Goodbye!"
Siao Qi gently waved her hand. "Go."
"Chu Li, wait for a moment. I'll get something for you." Su Ru quickly said and quickly left.
She returned with a bag and handed it to Chu Li. "There's some food inside. You've been traveling for the whole night. You need to eat something to fill your stomach."
Chu Li smiled and took it, then disappeared in a flash.
He performed Imminent Skyline to his heart's content. The spiritual force around him was like a raging wave. After it entered his body, it directly turned into inner energy, supporting the continuous performance of Imminent Skyline.
At dawn, he arrived at Min State.
Following the unique sign of the Public House, he found a house.
It was a wealthy family with a tall gate and a courtyard. The house had four levels and a back garden. It was magnificent.
He directly went into the front house and appeared in front of the woodshed. This woodshed had the unique sign of the Public House.
He knocked on the door and a thunderous voice came from inside. "Who is it?"
Chu Li said, "Chu Li."
The woodshed was opened. Inside was a burly man like an iron tower. He was more than thirty years old. His face was dark, his eyes were bright, and he was full of energy.
He seemed to know martial arts but had not reached the Innate Mastery's Boundary.
Chu Li handed over a white jade waist tag. "The Public House's rank four Scribe, Chu Li."
The rank four Scribe's waist tag was made of white jade. It was warm and translucent. It was the best jade to show the Public House's wealth. This piece of jade could easily be sold for ten thousand taels of silver.
"Please come in!" The strong man looked at the jade tag carefully and passed his ebony waist tag to Chu Li. "Mo Ta, you can just call me Elder Mo!"
Chu Li glanced at the ebony waist tag and stepped into the woodshed. Before he sat down, he said directly, "Brother Mo, let's skip the pleasantries. This is an emergency. Where is Jiang Kuai?"
"Can't find it." Mo Ta rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Mo Ta sighed. "I haven't seen Jiang Kuai with my own eyes. One of my informants saw Jiang Kuai in the restaurant, but he immediately lost track of him!"
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
Mo Ta said, "Maybe Jiang Kuai is no longer in Min State. This guy is very vigilant. Once he finds out that someone is following him, he will immediately escape and disappear!"
Chu Li nodded. That was indeed Jiang Kuai's style of doing things. Once something went wrong, he would run. Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best strategy.
"I've also asked around. No one has seen Jiang Kuai again, so I suspect that he has already left."
Chu Li sighed. "What a troublesome fellow!"
"He's so slippery. I've sent out all the informants in the city, but no one has seen him. He must have left." Mo Ta said apologetically, "This is all my fault. I should have made it clear. If you see him, pretend you don't know and don't follow him."
"Even if I don't follow him, he won't stay for long." Chu Li waved his hand. "He won't stay in one place for too long."
Mo Ta nodded hurriedly. "I'm really sorry for troubling you to make this trip!"
Chu Li said, "It's not that there's nothing to gain, but … I have to trouble Brother Mo with one more thing."
"Please say it," Mo Ta said hurriedly.
He was a little guilty. He did not do it properly. He was afraid that the Public House would blame him for not doing a good job. He hesitated for a moment and the people from the Public House arrived.
Chu Li said, "Can you hang a piece of white cloth at the highest point of the city and write that Jiang Kuai is a son of a b * tch?"
"Ah —?" Mo Ta's eyes widened.
Chu Li smiled. "Since he won't show his face, I'll scold him and see if he's really in the city."
"This …" Mo Ta smiled bitterly. "Doing this …"
"Not being open and aboveboard?" Chu Li smiled. "He stole our things. It's not a big deal to scold him a little, right?"
"It's not a big deal to scold him a little in private, of course." Mo Ta smiled bitterly. "But isn't it a little too much to hang it at such a high place?"
"To force him out," Chu Li spread his hands and said, "I can only use this method."
"But his Light-body Technique is superb. Even if he really shows up, there's nothing we can do, right?" Mo Ta said.
Chu Li said, "As long as he shows up, leave the rest to me."
"It seems that Brother Chu's Light-body Technique is brilliant enough." Mo Ta smiled.
It was no wonder. Since the Public House sent him here, he must be someone with outstanding Light-body Technique. Otherwise, he would not have come. Moreover, he arrived here so quickly. His Light-body Technique was indeed impressive.
"I'll leave it to you, Brother Mo." Chu Li waved his hand.
"Jiang Kuai's Light-body Technique is superb. He's very arrogant. Even if he knows it's a trap, he'll still show up!" Mo Ta scoffed. "Unscrupulous. He'll definitely tear this piece of white cloth!"
Chu Li smiled.
Jiang Kuai did not have any great evil. He just liked to rob things, claiming to rob from the rich to help the poor.
His behavior had offended many people, but he could still live freely. First, his Light-body Technique was superb. Second, he was careful and might not be fooled.
But this time, he went too far. The Longevity Grass was a life-saving item. He snatched it, which was equivalent to ending the life of the Lady. It was tantamount to murder.
"Brother Chu, rest here for a while. I'll send someone to do it right away." Mo Ta said.
Chu Li nodded slightly and closed fist saluted. "Thank you."
Mo Ta waved his hand. "This is my duty. You're welcome."
He was a swift and decisive person. He closed fist saluted, turned around, and went out, closing the wooden door.
Chu Li sat on the bed and adjusted his breathing.
Performing Imminent Skyline for a night, his inner energy was endless. It was a huge burden on his body. Fortunately, the Sentient Menace had reached the fourth level, so he could withstand it.
At noon, Mo Ta returned and brought some food and wine for Chu Li.
The two drank and ate while chatting.
Mo Ta said what he did. He bribed the biggest restaurant in the city and replaced the signboard with a white cloth that scolded Jiang Kuai. It fluttered in the wind, and the whole Min State Town could see it.
Mo Ta laughed. As long as Jiang Kuai was still there, unless he was willing to be a coward, he would not not make a move.
With the peerless Light-body Technique and his arrogance, could Jiang Kuai endure this? If he really could endure this, then I, Mo Ta, am willing to be at a disadvantage and accept it wholeheartedly!
Chu Li listened to Mo Ta's laughter and shook his head.
"Brother Chu, let's guard the restaurant tonight and see if he shows up!"
"No need, I'll do it."
"You alone?" Mo Ta frowned. "More people means more power."
Chu Li shook his head. "It's useless even if there are more people."
"… Alright." Mo Ta saw that Chu Li was full of confidence. He wanted to watch a good show and see what kind of amazing Light-body Technique this rank four Scribe sent by the Public House had.
He envied Chu Li from the bottom of his heart. There was also a hint of jealousy.
He had good martial arts, but he could only stay in a remote place like Min State. Compared to Chu Li, the difference was like heaven and earth!
He wanted to see what Chu Li was capable of. If he messed things up, the Public House would know that it was not because he was incompetent, but because Jiang Kuai was too powerful!
