Chu Li looked at Xue Ling.
Xue Ling's jade face was solemn and her eyes were bright.
"What's going on?" Chu Li frowned. He was not in a hurry.
Xue Ling said, "These two people directly came to see you. The Protectors said that you were not around, so they fought their way in. Their martial arts are very strange and their cultivation level is very high. No one is their match."
Chu Li smiled. "Looks like someone really dares to break into the High Duke's Public House!"
Ever since he became famous, the mighty name of the Enlightened Master God-slaying spread all over the world, and no one in the Yi Public House dared to provoke him. His reputation had been built up step by step, and his foundation was very stable. He did not rise to the sky in a single bound, which aroused suspicion. The reputation of Chu Li in the North and Du Feng in the South had spread all over the world back then, and the Enlightened Master God-slaying Hand had gone one step further and reached its peak, like the sun in the sky.
Li Meng, who was chanting under the Glory's Will Tree, came over and looked at her curiously.
Xue Ling said, "Looks like they came prepared. Their cultivation level is high, Master must not be careless."
"Alright then, let's go take a look." Chu Li nodded. "Where's the Eldest Master?"
He saw that Eldest Young Master Siao Tieying and Siao Baihe were not in the mansion.
Xue Ling said, "The Eldest Master accompanied the Madam back to her parents' home. The Second Master did not come back last night. He must be at the New Moon Brothel."
"Second Young Master is at the New Moon Brothel?" Chu Li was surprised.
Xue Ling nodded lightly, "Second Master likes Sister Hong Xiu very much, but Sister Hong Xiu has been avoiding Second Master, so …"
"I really don't know." Chu Li smiled, "Is Lady Hong Xiu hiding from Second Young Master because she feels inferior and feels that her identity is not worthy?"
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded and said, "If he really enters the Public House, Sister Hong Xiu thinks that Second Young Master will become a laughing stock, so she has been hiding from him. However, Second Young Master really likes Sister Hong Xiu."
Chu Li sighed, shook his head and said, "Fine, let them be. You watch from the side and don't let Lady Hong Xiu do anything stupid."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded. "I've been keeping an eye on him."
Li Meng's eyes widened as she listened to the story with keen interest.
It turned out that the unattainable, rich, and glorious House of High Dukes also had such matters.
Chu Li slowly walked out. Xue Ling hurriedly caught up with him. "Master, they don't come with good intentions. It's better not to make a move."
Chu Li shook his head. "You might not get what you want."
"Then let me do it," Xue Ling said.
Chu Li sized her up and nodded. "I can give it a try."
Xue Ling had always been by his side. She had received a lot of pointers from Chu Li and the help of spirit pills. Her cultivation level was much higher than that of a normal Grandmaster. Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the cultivation level of the two people. Xue Ling was on par with one of them.
Li Meng followed closely behind. She was a little excited. Someone actually dared to barge into the Public House to look for Chu Li. How interesting!
Chu Li glanced at her and ignored her, tacitly agreeing to let her follow.
The three of them arrived at the main hall. The main hall was empty, but there were already two cups of tea served. Two handsome young men were carefully sipping the tea with carefree expressions, as if this was their own home.
The three of them slowly entered the main hall.
The two of them put down their teacups and raised their heads.
Chu Li nodded at the two of them and said, "May I know who the two of you are? Why would you use such a drastic method to see me?"
"You're Chu Li?" The handsome young man sitting at the head of the table was extremely handsome. His eyes shone with a condescending air as he looked at Chu Li calmly. He lowered his head and took another sip of tea.
Chu Li nodded. "I'm Chu Li. You two are …?"
"I'm Song Zhifan. This is Lu Jun. We're here to ask for a favor," the handsome young man said slowly.
Chu Li smiled and sat opposite of them.
Xue Ling came and stood behind him. Li Meng originally wanted to sit down, but she could only stand behind Chu Li when she saw the situation. She curiously looked at the two handsome young men, wondering why they had the guts to provoke Chu Li.
Xue Ling clapped her hands.
Immediately, two maids came in and served them tea.
Xue Ling waved her hand and told herself that it was not necessary. The other maid would only serve tea to Chu Li.
Chu Li took the teacup and took a sip. He slowly exhaled and raised his head to look at Song Zhifan with a smile.
Song Zhifan stared at him. His eyes shone with interest as he sized him up.
Chu Li smiled. "What business do you have, Master Song? Feel free to speak your mind."
"I've long heard of Chief Chu's name. I heard that you've killed an Enlightened Master, and you're also the Master of the Fu Dynasty, Tang Haotian. Now that I've seen you today, I'm impressed that your reputation is well-deserved. Your cultivation level is indeed high, "Song Zhifan said.
Chu Li smiled. "Master Song, praising me is the same as praising yourself. In terms of cultivation level, Master Song is not below me."
In terms of cultivation level, Song Zhifan was indeed on par with him. However, he could feel the danger coming from Song Zhifan. It was the same feeling he had when he encountered the Spirit Devouring Turtle. It reminded him to stay away from Song Zhifan.
The Omniscient Mirror could not see through his thoughts, but the Star Insight Skill reminded him that this person was very dangerous. Once he went crazy, he would be unstoppable. It was better not to fight him head-on.
Song Zhifan laughed out loud. "Good eyesight. As expected of Chu Li!"
Chu Li said, "I don't deserve that. Master Song, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. I like to be straightforward and simple."
"Alright, then I'll be straightforward. Chief Chu, can you let me take a look at the sword on your waist?" Song Zhifan said.
Chu Li's eyebrows twitched. He smiled and shook his head. "This sword is inauspicious. It's better not to look at it."
The Sky Killer Sword no longer had its ferocious aura. It was just a treasure sword that could cut through iron like mud. It was sharper than a normal treasure sword. This was already a rare treasure sword. Its sharpness alone was priceless.
How could he hand over the Sky Killer Sword to a stranger, a stranger with ill intentions?
Song Zhifan stared at the treasure sword. He looked at Lu Jun who was beside him and smiled. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the Sky Killer Sword, right?"
Chu Li smiled. "Master Song, you know about the Sky Killer Sword?"
"Of course." Song Zhifan smiled. "Because this was originally my sword."
Chu Li was stunned. He smiled. "What do you mean?"
"Chief Chu, do you know who the owner of this Sky Killer Sword is?" Song Zhifan asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't know."
He suddenly understood that Song Zhifan was probably Song Wuji's descendant.
There were very few people in the world who knew about the Sky Killer Sword. There were not many who could recognize it.
Song Zhifan smiled. "My ancestor, Song Wuji, was the owner of this Sky Killer Sword. Later on, he disappeared and we lost track of this sword. I didn't expect it to appear in Chief Chu's hands."
Chu Li's smile widened. "Then, Master Song, you mean …?"
"If Chief Chu can return this sword and fulfill my long-cherished wish, I will be extremely grateful!" Song Zhifan said.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Master Song, do you know how many owners the Sky Killer Sword has had?"
Song Zhifan said, "I'm willing to hear the details."
Chu Li said, "I don't know either. But if not ten, there are at least twenty. The descendants of every sword owner came to ask for this sword. Wouldn't the Sky Killer Sword be divided into ten pieces?"
"This sword was forged by my ancestor," Song Zhifan said.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "If that's the case, because this sword was forged by your ancestor, I have to return this sword to you?"
"Yes!" Song Zhifan nodded slowly.
Chu Li said, "This sword was given to me by my master. If I give it to you directly, how can I explain to my master?"
