Would Fan Yi be so unwise?
If he went to the Heaven Saber Sect now, he would be courting death.
Fan Yi was a rising star of the Southern Sky Gate, but being a rising star of the Southern Sky Gate did not mean that he would not die. The martial arts world was ever-changing, and danger was everywhere. Even the top experts could die in it.
Fan Yi was a calm person, which was why he was released to take charge.
However, no matter how calm a person was, after suppressing his hatred and anger for a hundred years, he would not be able to suppress his impulses.
He thought about it and activated the Flying Star Technique. This time, he did not use the Heaven's Eye, but the real Prediction Technique.
A moment later, he disappeared with a flicker and reappeared outside the South-Heaven Gate.
Two young men in blue appeared in front of him and blocked his way, preventing him from entering the Path of Reflection.
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'm Li Qi, I'm here to see Miss Jing Xiaojie!"
"Li Qi?" The two young men in blue had average looks, gentle temperament, and not arrogant at all.
Chu Li nodded. "Please pass my message, Miss Jing will see me!"
"Please wait." The two nodded.
One of the young men in blue disappeared, and Jing Xiaojie appeared in a snow-white dress. She looked at him in surprise and smiled. "What a rare guest, Big Brother Li, you're finally here!"
Chu Li said seriously, "I have something important to tell you!"
Jing Xiaojie stopped smiling and went forward. "What's the matter?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand.
The two young men in blue shrunk their necks and fist saluted before disappearing.
Chu Li said, "Brother Fan is in danger!"
"Senior Brother Fan?" Jing Xiaojie said, "You're with Senior Brother Fan?"
Chu Li nodded.
Jing Xiaojie said, "Big Brother Li, you should stay away from Senior Brother Fan. He's always causing trouble around him, and he never gets a chance to digest. What happened this time?"
Chu Li said, "His life is in danger, …"
He told Jing Xiaojie everything that had happened.
After Jing Xiaojie heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "What? Senior Brother Fan's enemy is the sect leader of the Heaven Saber Sect? "
Chu Li shook his head. "I can't be sure yet. I can only deduce that the blade belonged to Sect Leader Song of the Heaven Saber Sect. As for whether she was the one who killed him, I can't be sure!"
"Then if we meet Sect Master Song, can we make a conclusion?" Jing Xiaojie asked.
Chu Li sighed. "I'm certain that I'm going to die. This Sect Leader Song is filled with killing intent. He's killed hundreds of people. My death won't make a difference!"
"That's true." Jing Xiaojie nodded.
After all, he was not a disciple of the South-Heaven Gate. Furthermore, a disciple of the South-Heaven Gate might not be able to escape unscathed, unless he hid inside the South-Heaven Gate.
Chu Li said, "It's best if the higher-ups in the sect bring Brother Fan back, or else …"
As he spoke, he shook his head with a solemn expression.
"Alright, I'll report to the Sect Leader right away!" Jing Xiaojie nodded her head and disappeared gracefully.
Chu Li stood at the bottom of the stairs with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, just as Chu Li was getting anxious, Jing Xiaojie appeared again.
Chu Li hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to send out the masters?"
"The Sect Leader has gone personally," Jing Xiaojie said.
Chu Li was surprised. "The Sect Leader went personally?"
Jing Xiaojie smiled. "Don't worry. The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Blade Sect won't act recklessly."
Chu Li let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. Brother Fan's life is saved!"
"Actually, you're thinking too much. Brother Fan is our disciple after all. He won't be killed so easily!" Jing Xiaojie smiled disapprovingly. "The South-Heaven Gate still has some deterrence."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If it's someone else, they might be afraid of the South-Heaven Gate, but this Sect Leader Song …"
He sighed.
From what he had seen from the flying dagger, Sect Master Song was decisive in killing and did not care about the identity of the other party. Otherwise, she would not have the status she had today. It could be said that she had an iron fist. If Fan Yi was really her enemy, she would definitely not show mercy.
Jing Xiaojie scoffed. "Then we'll wait and see!"
Chu Li said, "Miss Jing, go back to the Gate and take a look. Let me know if there's any news."
"… Alright." Jing Xiaojie thought about it and nodded. "Then you should return to South Sun Town first."
Chu Li shook his head. "I don't dare to go back now."
Jing Xiaojie pursed her lips and smiled. "You think too highly of Sect Leader Song!"
Chu Li said, "There's no harm in being careful."
"Alright, alright. Up to you." Jing Xiaojie smiled and waved her hand before disappearing.
Chu Li stood still and did not move.
After about a quarter of an hour, Jing Xiaojie and another middle-aged man suddenly appeared.
This middle-aged man did not look impressive. He had a medium build and a thin figure. He wore a purple robe and his face was tense. He did not have an intimidating aura, but his serious expression made others not dare to underestimate him.
Jing Xiaojie said, "This is our Gate Leader."
Chu Li was surprised and quickly fist saluted. "Junior Li Qi greets Gate Leader Xu!"
The South-Heaven Gate Leader Xu Qiang fist saluted. "No need for formalities. Young Li, right?"
Chu Li quickly nodded. "What orders does the Gate Leader have?"
"Follow me to see Sect Leader Song," Xu Qiang said.
Chu Li was stunned and smiled bitterly. "Gate Leader, once I see Sect Leader Song, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to live."
"Don't worry." Xu Qiang waved his hand. "You can change your identity and go."
Chu Li said, "Gate Leader …?"
Xu Qiang said in a low voice, "Follow me with Young Jing and don't say a word. Just listen to me and take a look at Sect Leader Song. Can you determine if she's the murderer or not?"
Chu Li nodded helplessly.
Xu Qiang said, "You're friends with Young Fan. Treat this as helping her to the end and help her to the end!"
"Yes." Chu Li sighed. "Since the Gate Leader has spoken, I can only obey!"
Xu Qiang's tensed face squeezed a smile and nodded. "Young Fan is fortunate to have a friend like you."
Chu Li fist saluted and said no more.
The friendship between him and Fan Yi was indescribable. It was a mixture of genuine affection and utilitarianism.
Xu Qiang said, "Young Jing, help Young Li."
"Yes, Gate Leader." Jing Xiaojie nodded with a smile and took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She opened the cork and poured out some black ointment. She applied it on her pale palm and rubbed it on Chu Li's face.
Chu Li did not avoid it and let her apply it on his face.
Her soft and cool hand touched his face. There was a hint of fragrance. Chu Li quickly took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. He had not been close to a woman for a long time and his body had become extremely sensitive.
"Hmm, not bad." Xu Qiang looked at Chu Li and nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror had already seen his appearance. It was only a layer but his face had darkened and the details were different. He looked like a completely different person.
Chu Li could not help but admire Jing Xiaojie's skill. This should be the real Disguise Technique. It was completely different from his own Transformation Technique.
Moreover, this ointment was strange. He could not feel anything strange. Even he could not tell that it was a Disguise Technique unless he could see inside like the Omniscient Mirror.
Jing Xiaojie kept the porcelain bottle and put it in her sleeve. She smiled and said, "Alright, let's go!"
"Let's go!" Xu Qiang said in a low voice. "But remember, you're only allowed to look and listen. You're not allowed to talk or move!"
Chu Li and Jing Xiaojie nodded at the same time.
