Xu Anxia looked at the bracelet and saw a few engravings on the inside of the bracelet. He channeled his energy to his eyes and saw that the engravings were small words, "Chong Ming Town's Jing An Fang, Chen Residence".
If one did not look closely, they would think that it was the ornamentation of the bracelet.
Xu Anxia looked at Chen Siyu who had fainted and then looked at Yue Er.
Yue Er whispered, "Guardian Xu, please invite Master Chen Li over as soon as possible!"
"Alright!" Xu Anxia nodded and looked at Hu Hai and Zheng Gongming. "Guardian Zheng, Clan Leader Hu, I will leave now!"
Hu Hai said, "Xiao Xu, you have to dress up."
"Yes, I understand!" Xu Anxia said.
He strode out of the bedroom and returned to his house. He messed up his hair and changed into a tattered grey robe, unlike his usual obsession with cleanliness.
He smeared a layer of dust on his face so that others could not see his true face. He sneaked out of the house and went to the cattle and horse market in the town to buy a horse. He galloped for a day and entered Chong Ming Town in the evening.
He found a house according to the address and stood outside the house. The house was old and ordinary. It was obviously a middle-class family.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anxiety and exhaustion. He went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, an old man popped his head out and looked at him in confusion.
"Old man, is this the Chen Residence?"
"Yes." The old man looked at him.
"I am looking for Chen Li, Master Chen. This is the token." Xu Anxia handed over a silver bracelet.
The old man took the silver bracelet and closed the door. "Alright, please wait for a moment, Master."
Time passed slowly, bit by bit.
Xu Anxia anxiously stomped his feet. He saw that the surrounding lanterns were lit and the street was shrouded in light. There was still no movement inside. He wondered if the Association Leader had made a mistake.
Time passed like a year but the door was not opened. It was as if he had forgotten about himself.
He stomped his feet and paced back and forth. The Association Leader's situation was critical. If they used the method of stimulating his potential to wake the Association Leader up, his injuries would rapidly worsen and they would not be able to save him!
If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to see the Association Leader for the last time!
He could not wait to break into the Chen Residence, grab Master Chen Li's collar and bring him back to the Startling Cloud Association. He still had some rationality left, so he endured.
"Creak." The small door opened and the old man walked out. He handed a pair of silver bracelets to Xu Anxia. "My Young Master already knows. Little Brother, you can go back now."
He turned around and was about to close the door.
Xu Anxia hurriedly said, "Elder, wait!"
The old man turned his head to look at him. Xu Anxia looked at the pair of silver bracelets on his wrist and frowned. "Where is Young Master Chen?"
"Oh, my Young Master has left."
"Gone?!" Xu Anxia hurriedly asked, "Where did he go?"
"Wherever you want my young master to go, he will go." The old man smiled and said, "Alright, young man, you can go back."
Xu Anxia frowned at him. The old man waved his hand, turned around, and closed the small door.
Xu Anxia looked down at the two silver bracelets and realized that they were a pair. He hurriedly took out his other bracelet and patted his forehead. He didn't realize that the original pair of bracelets wasn't a pair!
He was still on tenterhooks, unsure if this cousin young master had really gone to the Startling Cloud Association.
But now that things had come to this, it meant that he had found the right person. As such, he could only return and not charge in.
Thinking of this, he turned around and left the Chen Residence. He leaped over the city wall, found his horse, and galloped back.

Startling Cloud Association in Cloud State Town
The bedroom of the Xu Residence was brightly lit, and the air was cold.
Under the illumination of the light, a few copper basins on the floor were filled with ice cubes. The ice cubes sparkled, turning the bedroom into an icehouse.
It was so cold, but Zheng Gongming and Hu Hai were sweating profusely and their faces were pale.
Zheng Gongming stood next to the couch while Hu Hai sat on it. His hands were pressed against Chen Siyu's back. White steam was rising from the top of his head and his forehead was dripping with sweat. Chen Siyu's eyes were closed and she was motionless. She was unconscious.
Her face was as red as a cooked prawn, and her breath was scorching hot.
Yue Er twisted the silk handkerchief forcefully. The veins on her hands were visible, and she anxiously stared at Chen Siyu. If this went on, Miss Chen would definitely be burnt!
"Elder Zheng, how is it?" Hu Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was flustered and asked in a low voice.
Zheng Gongming was motionless. White steam was rising from the top of his head, and his long robe was soaked.
Hu Hai was so anxious that he grimaced. He felt powerless.
This damned palm technique was too powerful. They could not do anything. They had tried all kinds of miraculous pills, but it was useless. They could only watch the Association Leader slide into the abyss of death.
"Clan Leader Hu …" Yue Er turned her head and looked at Hu Hai pleadingly.
Hu Hai shook his head bitterly and sighed.
Yue Er bit her lower lip, and her eyes were red.
A green shadow flashed, and Chu Li appeared in front of the couch.
Yue Er widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Master Chen Siyu!"
Chu Li nodded at her and smiled at Hu Hai. He reached out his hand and grabbed Chen Siyu's burning wrist.
His eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Hu Hai did not have the time to be surprised by Chu Li's Light-body Technique. He quickly asked, "Master Chen Siyu, can she still be saved?"
Chu Li put down her wrist. "Let's try!"
"Elder Zheng!" Hu Hai quickly called.
Zheng Gongming opened his eyes and nodded weakly. He let go of his palms and left the couch to make room.
"Thank you for your hard work, Guardian Zheng," Chu Li said.
Yue Er held onto Chen Siyu. Chu Li sat behind her and placed his palms on her back. A trace of inner energy was injected and then split into two. A trace of inner energy was directed at the burning aura in Chen Siyu's body, and a trace of inner energy followed the heart technique of the Crescent Cryptic.
The Crescent Cryptic was extremely Yin and cold. Chu Li's trace of inner energy flowed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the aura in her body became cool and the heat seemed to have decreased a little. As time passed, the inner energy cultivated by the Crescent Cryptic became colder and colder, and the heat slowly decreased.
After an hour, Chu Li stopped and opened his eyes.
Yue Er and the others widened their eyes and stared at Chen Siyu's face that had returned to being white.
Chen Siyu's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Chu Li, she smiled.
Chu Li smiled. "Elder cousin sister, I'm here."
Chen Siyu smiled and did not say anything.
Hu Hai praised, "Master Chen Siyu is still the best. Elder Zheng and I used all our strength, but it was useless. Once Master Chen Siyu came, he immediately succeeded. I have no choice but to be convinced!"
Chu Li smiled. "If it wasn't for Clan Leader Hu and Guardian Zheng delaying me, I wouldn't have made it in time."
He sighed and shook his head. "Such a vicious palm technique. It seems that you guys have provoked a powerful person."
"I'm ashamed that I couldn't find out who it was," Hu Hai shook his head and said, "His body technique was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he defeated the two Guardians and injured the Association Leader!"
Zheng Gongming had just finished adjusting his breathing. His face was still pale and weak. He sighed. "This person looks ordinary. I really can't remember who he is."
Chu Li said, "He wants to kill elder cousin sister. He will come again."
"Master Chen Siyu, you should stay for a few more days," Hu Hai said. "If we don't get rid of this guy, we really can't rest in peace!"
Chu Li looked at Chen Siyu who was looking at him with sparkling eyes. He smiled. "Okay, I'll stay for a few more days."
Yue Er said excitedly, "Master Chen Siyu, I'll go clean your room!"
Chu Li smiled and thanked her.
Yue Er first put a pillow on Chen Siyu's head and let her sit up. Then, she went out excitedly.
Chu Li said, "Let's look from the inside first. … This assassin could find elder cousin sister so quickly. He must have an insider."
"Hmph, I'll find this guy!" Hu Hai gritted his teeth.
Chen Siyu shook her head. "We can't make a big fuss. The Association has just stabilized for a few days. Don't make the people's hearts waver."
