Chu Li's anger dissipated a little after killing the two men.
He skimmed over the treetops, his white robe fluttering, and arrived at a teahouse.
The teahouse was located next to a dense forest.
In the dense forest, there was a shed with five tables and ten benches. It was simple and clean, making people feel refreshed and happy.
An old man and a young lady were busy.
The young lady was busy making pancakes, while the old man was shakily cutting the braised meat. His movements were slow and unhurried.
There was a big teapot on the stove next to him, gurgling and steaming.
Chu Li glanced around, walked into the teahouse, and sat down at an empty table.
There were a total of five tables, and two of them were already occupied. A pale-faced scholar was reading a book, eating pancakes while reading, and sipping tea from time to time. He was beaming with joy.
At another table, there were two strong young men with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Two long blades were placed on the table, and they were whispering and laughing from time to time.
Hearing the footsteps, they looked up at Chu Li, and their eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at him carefully.
Chu Li glanced at them indifferently.
These two young men's actions were too overbearing and unscrupulous.
Staring at people like this, especially people from the martial arts world, was no different from provoking him. They were bullying him for not practicing martial arts.
Chu Li released his inner energy and walked step by step into the teahouse, making them think that he did not know martial arts, and that the long blade at his waist was just to scare them.
Their eyes stopped on the long blade at Chu Li's waist, lingering on it.
As people who used blades, they could tell that the blade was extraordinary just by looking at the scabbard.
If it was hanging on a martial arts master, they would be afraid and not dare to act recklessly. However, it was hanging on the waist of a weak young scholar. How could they not be tempted? They instantly felt greedy and wanted to take it for themselves.
Their eyes flashed, and they looked at each other a few times. They slowly retracted their gaze and turned to the young lady in the teahouse. Their gazes became more eager.
Chu Li could not be bothered and sat down at the table.
The young lady walked over lightly. She had a slender figure and wore a floral green coat. She had delicate features, and she asked him what he wanted to eat.
Chu Li did not have an appetite, so he asked for tea.
The young lady wiped the table again, brought over a big bowl, and lifted the teapot with both hands. He carried it over with some difficulty.
There was too much water in the teapot, and some spilled out halfway.
Chu Li looked at her with a smile, but he did not extend his hand to help.
The old man raised his head to take a look, then lowered his head again to cut the meat.
The gazes of the two young men roamed around her waist and buttocks, and they became more and more passionate. They couldn't wait to reach out and touch it.
The big bowl was filled with tea. Chu Li nodded to express his gratitude. Although the tea was coarse, it was enough to quench his thirst.
"Miss, I'd like to ask around," Chu Li said gently.
The young lady looked at him. "What does Young Master want to know?"
"Where is this place?" Chu Li asked.
He ran wildly all night. He crossed mountains and crossed rivers, but he didn't know where he was going.
"This is Yue Shan." The young girl smiled and said, "It's only fifty li away from Yue Shan City."
"Yue Shan City …" Chu Li thought for a while and smiled. "Which one is it?"
"Green Mountain Road," the girl replied.
"Green Hill Road …" Chu Li was surprised and laughed.
What a coincidence. It seemed like there was still a trace of rationality in his chaotic state of mind. The direction was right, and it was his destination.
Green Hill Road was the road where Green Hill Town was located, where the Ren Public House guarded.
The young girl smiled. "Young Master, do you still want to know?"
"Are there any martial arts factions around here?" Chu Li asked.
The young girl looked at him in surprise. "Martial arts factions? Young Master, are you also a martial arts master? "
Chu Li waved his hand. "I'm very interested in these martial arts anecdotes. Of course, I'd like to pay a visit when I'm passing by."
"There are quite a few factions here. There's the Godly Knife Faction. The Yue Shan Faction, the Horse Bastion, and the Sworn Bastion. "The young girl was very familiar. It was obvious that it was not her first time answering. She smiled." The Godly Knife Faction is the most powerful. "
As she said that, she glanced at the two young men who were looking over.
"Godly Knife Faction …" Chu Li muttered and searched his mind. He nodded slowly.
He had heard of this faction before, but it was only a second-rate faction. It was not considered eye-catching.
He read a book in the library. It said that the founder of the Godly Knife Faction was a top-notch swordsman. He ran amok in a region. Unfortunately, his disciples did not inherit his teachings, so the Godly Knife Faction gradually declined into a second-rate faction.
"Young Master, do you want to know where the Godly Knife Faction is?" The young girl asked.
Chu Li smiled. "Where is it?"
"It's not far from here. It's only ten miles away." The young girl pointed to the north. "Follow this road for another ten miles. There's a big archway at the foot of a mountain. The Godly Knife Faction is written on it. You can see it from afar."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Okay. Thank you, young lady."
The young girl went back to making pancakes. The aroma of the pancakes wafted over.
Chu Li had an appetite. He ordered two plates of braised meat and two pancakes.
The braised meat had a unique flavor. He glanced at the old man in surprise. There were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. With such skills, why would he stay in a small shop in the mountains? It would not be difficult to make a living in the city.
However, everyone had their own story, just like him.
—
After eating, Chu Li stood up and threw a piece of silver on the table. He then slowly walked out. He wanted to go to Yue Shan Town to have a look and relax.
He did not use his Light-body Technique. He just walked step by step, waiting for the two young men.
Sure enough, after walking for a mile, Chu Li turned his head to look back.
The two young men followed behind him step by step, sizing him up with a meaningful look.
Chu Li frowned. He put his hands behind his back and asked. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." The two young men shook their heads and approached him with smiles on their faces. They stopped ten steps away from him and looked at the saber on his waist. "Brother, we love sabers. When we saw the saber on your waist, we couldn't help but want to take a look at it."
Chu Li shook his head. "Isn't that against the rules?"
It was a rude request to look at someone else's knife.
Weapons involved life and death. How could one look at someone else?
The two young men smiled mischievously. "We won't touch it. We'll just look at it from afar. Is that okay?"
Chu Li said, "No need. Goodbye!"
He turned around and was about to leave when he heard a shout from behind. "Stop right there!"
Chu Li slowly turned around and looked at them calmly. "What else do you want?"
"We are the disciples of the Godly Knife Faction!" The two closed fist saluted. They looked arrogant as if they were looking down on him. "I'm sure you've heard of us?"
Chu Li nodded. "I've just heard of it. The Godly Knife Faction. It's a big faction. That's why the two of you want to bully me. Why must you look at my knife? Looking at the knife is fake. Snatching the knife is real, right? "
"Nonsense!" The taller young man's face darkened. "We dropped the knife just now. How did it become yours?"
Chu Li smirked. "You dropped it?"
"That's right, this saber was found by us two brothers after much effort. We wanted to give it to our master as a birthday gift, but you actually picked it up. What a coincidence!" The short youth laughed and said, "Return the saber to us, thank you very much."
Chu Li smirked. "Is everyone in the Godly Knife Faction this kind of people?"
"Don't slander the Godly Knife Faction!" The shorter young man shouted. "You can't afford it!"
