Yue Ru knew that it must have been the effect of the Small Sumeru Pendant that allowed Zhao Dahe to avoid them.
After searching once, they moved on to the second floor and then to the first floor. Finally, they let out a long sigh and left the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
They stood outside the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. The lanterns were as bright as day and there was an endless stream of pedestrians. The sound of bamboo fluttered in the air as if it was a heavenly palace.
Bai Feng looked even more beautiful under the light. She stared at Fu Yu with her starry eyes and scoffed. "Where's the White Tiger Armor!"
Zhou Ninghe smiled bitterly and sighed. "We'll give it to you after we kill Zhao Dahe!"
Bai Feng sneered. "Oh, so it's after we kill Zhao Dahe. If you can't kill him, are you going to go back on your word?"
"How is that possible!" Zhou Ninghe said.
Bai Feng said, "It seems like I won't be able to get it back!"
"Well …" Zhou Ninghe smiled bitterly.
He was certain that Zhao Dahe was hiding in the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. It was impossible for Zhao Dahe to appear and kill the He Brothers as soon as they searched the brothel.
All coincidences had their own causes and effects. The Phoenix Goddess Brothel and Zhao Dahe must be related.
"Alright, if you won't give it to me, I'll let the sect leader ask for it himself." Bai Feng scoffed. "The White Tiger Armor alone is enough to show the White Tiger Sect's courage and trustworthiness. Goodbye!"
She did not say anything else and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Fu Yu said.
Bai Feng turned to look at him. "What else do you have to say?"
"I'll give it to you!" Fu Yu said. "I'll take off the White Tiger Armor and give it to you now!"
"Brother Fu!" Zhou Ninghe called out.
Fu Yu shook his head. "I've lost the bet. I'll never go back on my word!"
"Brother Fu, please reconsider!" Zhou Ninghe frowned.
The White Tiger Armor was very important. It was not only a treasure armor but also a deterrent to the White Tiger Sect, especially against the Holy Church of Light.
The Light Blade was powerful but it was not a problem with the White Tiger Armor. Without it, he would not be confident against the disciples of the Holy Church of Light.
Fortunately, the Light Blade was powerful but difficult to cultivate. Among the disciples of the Holy Church of Light, there were not many who could cultivate it to a high level.
Fu Yu said, "Brother Zhou, you don't have to say anything. I've made up my mind!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
Bai Feng chuckled and said, "Old Fu is the most straightforward, unlike you, Old Zhou. You're a sly old fox who goes back on his word!"
Zhou Ninghe shook his head and smiled bitterly.
A brief moment later, Fu Yu came out from a room and handed a set of black clothes and a mask to Bai Feng. "Take good care of it. I will win it back!"
"Sure, I'll be waiting!" Bai Feng chuckled.
"Farewell!" Fu Yu cupped his fists with a gloomy expression and strode away.
Zhou Ninghe glanced at the White Tiger Armor in Bai Feng's hands, shook his head helplessly, and left as well.
Zhang Junrui smiled, "Miss Bai, I'm impressed!"
Bai Feng harrumphed, "Zhang, are you jealous?"
"We have the Ardent Sun Armor, so there's nothing to be jealous of." Zhang Junrui shook his head and laughed. "However, you've offended the White Tiger Sect this time."
"So what if I've offended you?" Bai Feng scoffed disdainfully. "Get lost!"
Zhang Junrui smiled and left.
Yue Ru approached her and asked excitedly, "Master, is this the White Tiger Armor?"
"That's it!" Bai Feng stared at their backs and scoffed. "No matter how cunning they are, they still have to drink the water I used to wash my feet. Let's go!"
The two of them returned to her room on the third floor.
"Master, we've really offended the White Tiger Sect this time." Yue Ru entered the room and took the White Tiger Armor. She carefully folded it. It was soft and delicate to the touch. It seemed to be some kind of animal skin. It was spotless and did not need to be washed.
"So be it." Bai Feng scoffed. "Once my White Tiger Armor wins, their momentum will be over. They won't dare to go after Zhao Dahe anymore. Zhao Dahe has completely gained a foothold."
"That's it?" Yue Ru was surprised.
"Zhao Dahe has killed the He brothers, He Jingchuan and He Jingjiang. He has already killed five elders and only three of the Eight Grand Elders are left. There are four pieces of White Tiger Armor and only one piece is left. How are we going to go after Zhao Dahe?"
"Young Master Zhao killed the He brothers?" Yue Ru's eyes widened.
Bai Feng said, "This young man … Sigh, now that the situation has developed, we've made the right move … Go to his room and explain things to him."
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded.
She gently pushed open the door to Chu Li's room and saw that he was cultivating on the bed.
It seemed as if Fu Yu and the others had not pushed open the door to this room. It was as if he had been sitting there all this time and had been smiling at her with his ugly face.
"Miss Yue Ru," Chu Li said with a smile.
Yue Ru asked, "Young Master Zhao killed the He brothers?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded. "Thanks to the Stupefying Howl, my sneak attack was successful. Please thank your master on my behalf."
Yue Ru looked at him from head to toe.
She could not imagine how he had managed to kill two elders.
She had witnessed Fu Yu's martial arts before. It was truly unfathomable and unstoppable. The He brothers were no weaker than Fu Yu, but he had managed to kill two of them. It was hard to imagine how powerful his martial arts was.
Chu Li pointed at a bundle on the table. "There's a White Tiger Armor inside. I've obtained two pieces, so I'm giving one to you as a token of my gratitude."
"I can't accept it." Yue Ru quickly waved her hand. "It's too expensive!"
Chu Li said, "Take it. Without your help, I would've escaped back to the Great Light Peak a long time ago. I wouldn't have been able to obtain these. Without the Stupefying Howl, I wouldn't have been able to kill the He brothers. If I refuse, you'll be looking down on me!"
"… Alright." Yue Ru nodded helplessly. "Oh right, Master has won a White Tiger Armor from Fu Yu. He said that the White Tiger Sect's pursuit should be over soon. Young Master Zhao, you don't have to hide anymore."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "I really have to thank Senior Bai!"
The White Tiger Sect only had one White Tiger Armor, so they would not dare to pursue him anymore.
Yue Ru smiled. "Young Master Zhao, please bear with it for a little longer. I think they'll leave soon."
Chu Li nodded.

The next day, Zhou Ninghe and Fu Yu left Gale City.
Yue Ru quickly told Chu Li the good news.
Chu Li decided to wait for a few more days before leaving.
Five days later, in the evening, Yue Ru came to deliver dinner. She placed the dishes on the table one by one with graceful movements.
Chu Li sat at the table. "Miss Yue Ru, it's time for me to leave. Before I leave, I'd like to meet Senior Bai and thank her in person."
"I'll report this to Master." Yue Ru nodded.
Chu Li nodded and picked up his chopsticks.
Yue Ru left but soon returned. "Master said that you can go over after you're done eating. She wants to meet you too."
Chu Li smiled.
He finished his meal quickly and wiped his mouth. Then, he followed Yue Ru into a house.
Bai Feng sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at him lazily.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and bowed. "Greetings, Senior Bai. Thank you for teaching me."
Bai Feng waved her slender hand and said, "It's fate. It's just a coincidence."
"How do I repay you?" Chu Li went straight to the point.
Bai Feng chuckled. "It's nothing much. If Yue Ru is in trouble in the future, just lend her a hand. That'll be enough to repay me."
Chu Li nodded. "As long as I'm in Gale City, I'll take care of Miss Yue Ru. However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in Gale City for long."
"Yue Ru won't be staying in Gale City forever," Bai Feng said.
Chu Li nodded.
