A bright moon hung in the sky.
Han Fei's residence was brightly lit.
In the main hall, Chu Li and Han Fei sat at a round table made of purple wood. The table was huge and could accommodate more than ten people. It was very spacious for two people.
The silver cups shone under the light. Han Fei was tipsy and in high spirits.
Bi Lan was wearing a dark green gown that covered her graceful figure. She looked more elegant and less charming, as if she was a different person.
She held the silver pot and poured wine for the two. She pursed her lips and smiled without interrupting.
"Brother Chu, do you have any feelings for Miss Yu Qing?" Han Fei looked at him with a smile and shook his head. "I really don't believe that any man can reject her!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "Luckily you didn't ask her to come. If she came, I would leave after a while."
"Why!" Han Fei was displeased, "Your way of thinking is weird. She's such a beautiful lady and gentle as water. You're not moved at all. Instead, you avoid her like a snake or a scorpion. Is it because of her identity?"
Chu Li looked at Bi Lan.
Bi Lan forced a smile.
Chu Li laughed, "It's because of her identity."
"Sigh …" Han Fei pointed at him, picked up the silver cup and drank it in one gulp, "Brother Chu, when did you become so well-behaved? I remember that you were a distinguished guest in the New Moon Brothel, and the ladies liked you very much!"
Chu Li waved his hand and smiled, "Do you know Miss Yu Qing's identity?"
"What identity?" Han Fei smiled, "Don't tell me she's a traitor?"
Chu Li smiled, "Not really."
Han Fei sat up straight, his eyes flashing, "It can't be? She really has another identity? "
Bi Lan sighed in relief and looked at Chu Li gratefully.
She initially thought that Chu Li disliked Sister Yu Qing's identity as a lady from the Verdant Cloud Brothel. She was relieved that it was another identity.
She filled the silver cups for Han Fei and Chu Li again.
Han Fei took the opportunity to pick it up and took a sip.
Chu Li said, "A disciple of the Amethyst Mountain."
"Pfft!" Han Fei spat out the wine in his mouth and started coughing.
Bi Lan put down the silver pot and tapped his back.
Han Fei continued to let her serve him, but he glared at Chu Li. "Brother Chu, don't joke around!"
No matter what, he could not believe that a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain had become a lady of the Verdant Cloud Brothel. This was like a princess becoming a beggar. It was unbelievable, the difference in status was too great.
Chu Li said faintly, "Otherwise, why would I avoid such a beautiful lady?"
"I thought it was your Ji Dynasty's number one beauty," Han Fei said with a smile.
Chu Li glared at him.
Han Fei said, "No one will believe your words! … A disciple of the Amethyst Mountain was practically unattainable, how could she become a lady in the Verdant Cloud Brothel? Right, Bilan? "
Bi Lan nodded lightly. "Chief Chu, are you mistaken? Sister Yu Qing doesn't know martial arts."
"If I couldn't hide it from you, why would I still be in the Verdant Cloud Brothel?" Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
"Sigh …" Han Fei paused for a moment and finally accepted it. "Yes, she can hide it from us, but she can't hide it from you, a secret guardian of the imperial house. No wonder you're in this line of work, to be able to find out about this. You're really hard hearted, seeing such a beautiful lady and still suspecting her."
Chu Li smiled. He could not possibly say that it was not the secret guardian of the imperial house who found out, but he himself did, right?
He had always underestimated the Amethyst Mountain. The disciples of the Amethyst Mountain also had martial arts that concealed their cultivation level, which was not inferior to the Holy Church of Light.
In fact, it should be obvious that the martial arts of the Amethyst Mountain were good at assassination, how could they not have such antique martial arts that concealed their cultivation level?
"If that's the case, she approached you with ill intentions?" Han Fei took another sip of wine to suppress his shock.
Chu Li said, "Who knows, sometimes it's hard to tell if she's a friend or foe. One moment she's a friend, the next moment she's an enemy, the next moment she might become a friend."
Lu Yu Rong was like that, and so was Fa Yuan.
"Your words give me goosebumps, as if we'll become enemies," Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Then what are you going to do, just avoid her?"
"I'll avoid her for now," Chu Li said, "She doesn't know that I've seen through her."
"Who knows!" Han Fei shook his head and said, "I'm completely in the dark."
"So it's better to be careful," Chu Li said with a smile. "The waters of the Fairy's Capital are too deep, you don't know who can give you a fatal blow. You're lucky that the person you met was Miss Bi Lan, if it was Miss Xue Qing, wouldn't killing you be a piece of cake?!"
Han Fei laughed and said, "Don't scare me!"
Bi Lan said, "I really couldn't tell, Sister Yu Qing has a great reputation, but her standards are very high, she doesn't usually meet people."
"Sigh … Amethyst Mountain …" Han Fei shook his head again.
Although he was also a Grandmaster, he still looked up to the Amethyst Mountain. A sect like the Amethyst Mountain had countless Grandmasters, someone like him was not worth mentioning in front of the Amethyst Mountain.
Chu Li said, "I have a deep grudge with the Amethyst Mountain, it's better to avoid them. Come, come, let's drink."
"Drink — —!" Han Fei raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.
— —
When Chu Li returned to his courtyard, it was already late at night, the surroundings were asleep, the moon was especially bright.
Tianshu Courtyard was already asleep, Siao Shi was in a deep sleep.
The courtyard beside Siao Shi was guarded by Zhu Tianhua and a few others, but they did not notice that there was someone sitting in his courtyard, dressed in white like snow, her body like white jade, it was Lu Yu Rong.
Lu Yu Rong sat quietly by the stone table, deep in thought.
Chu Li suddenly sat opposite her.
Lu Yu Rong looked up and glanced at him, her eyes glimmered, she said lightly, "I have something to tell you."
"You don't come without a reason," Chu Li said.
"Have you heard of the Cloud Slashing Ancestor?" Lu Yu Rong said.
Chu Li thought about it, then shook his head.
Lu Yu Rong said, "A legendary character from five hundred years ago, … a little similar to you, in just a few years, an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts became a Grandmaster. He had exceptional talent, but he also had exceptional knowledge."
"I'm not that legendary," Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Lu Yu Rong glared at him.
Chu Li smiled, "Alright, what's next?"
Lu Yu Rong scoffed, "Before the Cloud Slashing Ancestor died, he left behind a Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, which recorded all his knowledge."
"Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual …" Chu Li shook his head, he had never heard of it.
Lu Yu Rong said, "It's said that this Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual recorded the martial arts that the Cloud Slashing Ancestor obtained by chance, it's a set of martial arts that surpasses the four major sects, or else he wouldn't have such achievements."
"You believe that?" Chu Li smiled.
Lu Yu Rong said lightly, "It might not be fake."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that someone cultivated it according to the secret manual?"
Lu Yu Rong nodded slowly, then sighed, "Three hundred years ago, someone obtained this secret manual, cultivated the swordsmanship, and dominated the world. That person was the famous Cloud Slashing Swordsman, unfortunately, this secret manual disappeared along with him."
"Cloud Slashing Swordsman …" Chu Li pondered, then nodded slowly, he had heard of it before.
