After eating and drinking, Chu Li looked at the sky outside and got up to leave. Mo Ta offered to help, but Chu Li declined politely.
The sun was setting, and the twilight was hazy.
The sunset dyed the sky red, and the entire Min State City was also dyed a rose color. Heaven and earth were magnificent.
Chu Li quietly left the mansion, strolled, and felt the atmosphere of Min State City. Unknowingly, he came to the restaurant that Mo Ta mentioned – the Sunrise Restaurant.
This was the largest restaurant in Min State City, about 20 meters high. Standing on the roof, one could overlook the entire Min State City.
Standing downstairs and looking up, a long white cloth fluttered in the air. On it, the words "Celestial Monkey Jiang Kuai is a son of a b * tch" were written in crimson cinnabar. However, under the afterglow of the sunset, it was not so conspicuous.
Chu Li smiled, walked into the Goddess Welcoming Restaurant, and sat on a seat on the third floor.
It was still early, and there were not many people eating. There were seven or eight tables on the third floor, and they were whispering about this matter. Sitting on the third floor, one could see the white cloth through the open window. It was impossible not to see it.
"Who is so free to do such a wicked thing!"
"Must have nothing better to do!"
"Celestial Monkey, I've heard of his name. It is said that his Light-body Technique is superb!"
"Just from this name, I know his Light-body Technique is good. What does he look like?"
"From this name, he has a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks!"
"Hehe, how many people have actually seen Celestial Monkey? This guy is said to be elusive!"
"If he sees this, won't he explode in anger?"
"I don't know which wicked person did this. It's too bad!"
"It must be Celestial Monkey's enemy."
"If he's capable, then find him for revenge. Why use such a trick!"
"Celestial Monkey's Light-body Technique is good. He wants revenge but can't find him, so he can only resort to this!"
"According to what you said, it's reasonable?"
"Of course he wants revenge. If he can't, then he can vent his anger. Anyway, Celestial Monkey is not a good person!"
"Hehe, could it be that Celestial Monkey stole your things?"
"Hahaha. Do you think Celestial Monkey steals everything? What does Old Feng have that is worth Celestial Monkey stealing? Even if you ask him to steal, he won't bother! "
"Nonsense! … I haven't been stolen, but a friend of mine was stolen by a Celestial Monkey. The Jade Goddess of Mercy that has been passed down in my family! "
"Then has your friend seen what a Celestial Monkey looks like?"
"… No!"
"Then how did he know it was stolen by the Celestial Monkey?"
"Other than his qinggong, who could steal the jade Guanyin hidden in the secret room without a sound?"
"Hehe, that might not be the case!"
"In any case, it's pretty close!"
Chu Li listened to their verbal arguments and shook his head to himself. It seemed that most of the Celestial Monkey's reputation was based on false rumors. Out of the ten things, he might have only done one or two. The rest were forced upon him by the others.
Once the Omniscient Mirror was activated, everything within a three-mile radius appeared in his mind.
The long white cloth fluttered in the wind. The Sunrise Tower was already brightly lit. The cinnabar on the white cloth was even more conspicuous under the light than during the day. It could be seen from anywhere in the city.
Chu Li took a sip of the wine and slowly chewed on a piece of beef.
If the Celestial Monkey really wanted to take action, it would either be when there were many people around or when there was no one around. The best time was when there were a lot of people. He could fish in troubled waters.
As time passed, the night grew darker. The Sunrise Tower became more and more lively.
In the brightly lit restaurant, there was a burst of noise and music, and even laughter. Chu Li glanced at the few tables around him and saw that they had all called for singers. They listened to the music while they ate and drank. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Chu Li sat alone by the window and drank by himself. It was a little eye-catching.
However, others saw that he was wearing brocade clothes and had a noble and graceful temperament. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. No one provoked him.
"Look. What's written on it! "Someone suddenly stopped in front of the Sunrise Tower and pointed at the white cloth.
The people around looked up and just noticed the words on the white cloth.
Chu Li shook his head. Most people usually did not look up at the sky, especially the signboard of the Sunrise Tower. The tall building itself was the signboard.
More and more people gathered below. There was a lot of discussion.
Chu Li smiled. The crowd gathered too quickly. There was something strange. It seemed that someone was manipulating it. It should be Jiang Kuai's action.
People had the habit of joining in on the fun. They gathered in groups of twos and threes, pointing and discussing who had done this. It was a disgrace to the cultured. The Sunrise Restaurant had actually given up its signboard. The merchants pursued profits to such an extent. It was really despicable!
"Swoosh!" A light whistled. A stream of light shot towards the white cloth in the air.
"Ah!" People screamed and ran in all directions.
The 20-meter-long pole, as thick as a baby's arm, was slowly falling down. If it hit someone, it could crush them to death. No one wanted to take it.
Fortunately, the pole was long enough. It fell slowly and finally hit the roof of a house next to it. It was held up and the white cloth with the words on it fell to the ground.
Chu Li's gaze focused and saw the person who did it.
A slender young man flicked a small stone with his finger and broke the arm-thick pole. The power of this flick was really amazing. He sighed. It was obviously a unique martial art.
The young man looked valiant. He sneered and glanced at the white cloth. Then, he mixed into the crowd and ran out with the crowd.
Chu Li stared at him but did not forget to pay attention to his surroundings. Under the Omniscient Mirror, every face and the subtle expressions on their faces were presented in his mind.
Other than the valiant young man, there was nothing unusual about the others.
Chu Li observed the image in the valiant young man's mind. He was suddenly stunned and his expression changed slightly.
The people on the third floor swarmed in front of the window and looked down at the chaos below. They were amazed and discussed. It was strange. How could a good signboard fall down? It was too dangerous!
Some people thought that it must be God who could not stand it, so the signboard was scraped off.
Some people thought that it was a coincidence. The Sunrise Tower had been around for fifty years. The signboard should be changed. No matter how thick the pole was, it was weathered by wind and rain. It would not be long before it fell today.
Chu Li watched the young man's actions in his mind. Suddenly, he disappeared from the table.
The valiant young man left the Sunrise Tower with the crowd and mixed into the crowd on the street. Finally, after a few turns, he entered a winding alley.
The alley was quiet. The bluestone road shone with a green light under a string of lanterns.
Chu Li suddenly appeared ten meters behind the valiant young man and shouted, "Jiang Kuai!"
The valiant young man paused and then continued to walk.
Chu Li raised his voice and said, "Jiang Kuai, what did you do with the things from the Yi Public House?"
The valiant young man's expression changed slightly, but he kept walking forward as if he did not hear him. Soon, he disappeared at the corner of the alley.
Chu Li's mouth showed a smile. Who would have thought that the Celestial Monkey looked so dignified? He did not look like a monkey at all. No one would believe that he was the Celestial Monkey when he walked on the street. The wonders of the world were often unexpected!
He saw the location of the longevity grass in Jiang Kuai's mind. He breathed a sigh of relief and thanked God.
Fortunately, the Celestial Monkey was a smart person. The longevity grass was still there, but he only saw a secret room in his mind. He did not know where the secret room was. He had to ask a few more questions.
