Chu Li continued, “The moment I heard that they had killed you, Clan Leader Mo, I came over to check on you.”

Mo Qingqing scoffed and frowned as she replied, “What are you getting at?”

Chu Li shook his head. “I’ve always held to the philosophy of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Since there’s someone trying to kill me, I won’t just sit and wait for them to come and kill me. I’ll always anticipate my enemy’s move and retaliate first. I’ll have to offend you, Clan Leader Mo!”

Right after that, he activated the silver tubes on one of his arms.

“Tsh, tsh, tsh, tsh…” Four cold glints shot out and spread out into hundreds of tiny arrows flying toward Mo Qingqing.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding…” There was an endless stream of ringing sounds as Mo Qingqing waved her sword around to protect herself. As her sword flashed around rapidly, none of the arrows managed to hit her.

Chu Li released a quick shout and channeled the Stupefying Howl.

Mo Qingqing’s movement lagged for a moment as she swung her sword around and ten tiny arrows struck her instantly.

Chu Li used the Stupefying Howl again while activating the silver tubes on his other arm. Four cold flashes shot out once more and most of the hundreds of arrows landed on her body.

Chu Li shook his head and sighed. “What’s the use of resisting?”

He snatched the long sword from Mo Qingqing and swung it at her. He paid no attention to her severed head falling to the ground as he flung the sword aside which glided away after.

At that moment, none of the protectors in the residence had made a move to check on her since no one was allowed to disturb the clan leader when she was practicing her martial arts. No matter what noises they heard, they were told not to go and check on her to avoid affecting her cultivation.

Thus, Chu Li left Radiant Cloud City undetected.

Although he usually had tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex, he would be a real fool if he were to have such feelings toward a person who was trying to kill him. No matter how beautiful the woman was, he would still have to eliminate her as long as she was intent on killing him

When he returned to Gale City, he pretended as if nothing happened and carried on with his cultivation.

Aside from Mo Qingqing, he was very curious to uncover who else was trying to have him assassinated.

In the morning the next day, he went back to Nine Star Tower to have his breakfast. Upon entering the restaurant, he noticed Yang Ying who was sitting by the window while she finished her food very quickly.

She was dressed in a green tunic that made her fair and exquisite face seem more lovely. At that point, she was enjoying a sesame seed cake, which she carefully held in her smooth, delicate hands.

Chu Li came and sat down across from her.

When Yang Ying raised her head and saw him, she immediately moved her body back slightly as though trying to put more distance between them. Then, she huffed and said, “Why are you here!”

Chu Li laughed and asked, “Have you been avoiding me?”

“Haven’t you heard the rumors that have been spreading around here?” Yang Ying pursed her lips and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth before she said, “People have been claiming that I’m trying to pursue you and that the White Tiger Sect has sent me here to seduce you. How infuriating!”

Chu Li chuckled and replied, “They can say whatever they want. There’s no need to get upset over this.”

“This is such a ridiculous rumor. How can I not get upset!” Yang Ying huffed. “As if it’s really true. Haven’t they considered how impossible this seems!”

Chu Li stated, “Perhaps a rival of the White Tiger Sect is trying to tarnish your sect’s reputation by spreading such rumors.”

“That must be it!” Yang Ying nodded aggressively and then asked, “Can you guess who it is?”

Chu Li shook his head and muttered, “The White Tiger Sect has more enemies than me. How is it possible for me to guess who’s behind this?”

“That’s true.” Yang Ying thought about it and nodded. “Indeed, the White Tiger Sect has more enemies than you.”

Chu Li said, “That’s why you shouldn’t say that I’m a troublesome person.”

Yang Ying chuckled. “Although the White Tiger Sect has so many enemies, most of them don’t dare assassinate us. It’s different for you though. I’ll surely get dragged into your mess if I hang around you too much. I don’t want that to happen.”

Chu Li shook his head helplessly and asked, “When will you be going back?”

“I received news that my master has already left the mountain,” Yang Ying replied with a sigh as her expression became glum immediately. “It’ll probably take her another day or two to reach this place. Too bad for me!”

Chu Li said, “Well then, have more fun and enjoy before she arrives.”

“Of course,” Yang Ying muttered with a huff. Then, a smile appeared on her face. “Anyway, I’ve more or less explored the entire Gale City already. Even if I have to go back, I won’t have any regrets. I can go to another city to explore the next time.”

She gave Chu Li a sidelong glance. “When will you be leaving Gale City?”

Chu Li replied, “Once I’ve re-established the Radiance Clan, I’ll have to leave.”

“That’ll take quite some time then,” Yang Ying said. “Judging from the slow progress they’re making, it’ll take at least half a year for everything to be completed.”

Chu Li laughed.

“Young Master Zhao,” a clear voice spoke suddenly.

Chu Li turned and saw Miss Yue Ru coming over.

She was dressed in a pale green gown, which gave her a refreshing and pleasant look as she walked over in her usual graceful and charming manner.

Chu Li waved a hand. “Miss Yue Ru, come and sit with us.”

Yang Ying glanced at Yue Ru and scoffed. “What are you doing here? Have you come to seek revenge on behalf of your sweetheart?”

Yue Ru shook her head and chuckled as she replied, “I’ve just come here to have my breakfast. I’ve always had my meals at the Phoenix Goddess Brothel, so I’ve gotten a bit tired of the food there. It’d be nice to have something different for a change.”

Chu Li glanced at Yang Ying and then turned his gaze to Yue Ru. “Did something happen to Young Master Lu?”

Yang Ying said, “I beat him up.”

Yue Ru chuckled and answered, “He was no match for Miss Yang. This incident has motivated him to go into isolated cultivation again. He said that he’s determined to seek revenge. You’ll have to be more careful now, Miss Yang.”

Yang Ying scoffed and responded, “With his skills? He should cultivate for ten more years!”

Chu Li sighed in admiration and remarked, “It’s very rare to find a person as hardworking as him. On top of that, he’s even a genius at cultivation. I should also carry on with my cultivation soon!”

Yue Ru asked, “I heard Young Master Zhao has encountered two assassination attempts?”

Chu Li nodded and smirked as he replied, “It’s no big deal. These people aren’t too hard to deal with.”

“Nonetheless, you should be more careful,” Yue Ru said. “It can be difficult to protect yourself effectively against attacks from hidden enemies.”

Yang Ying gave a scornful laugh and muttered, “He’s just huge trouble. Something bad is bound to happen whenever he’s around. I’ll be off first!”

After she finished speaking, she pushed open the window and leaped out of the building, vanishing from Chu Li’s sight instantly. She was very efficient indeed.

Chu Li was all smiles as he watched her leave.

When Yue Ru saw the bright smile on his face, she found it to be a rather unpleasant sight. She then asked, “Has Young Master Zhao been in isolated cultivation lately?”

Chu Li replied, “It’s almost time for the martial arts competition. I must make the best use of my time to cultivate.”

Yue Ru scoffed to herself. If he wanted to make the best use of his time to cultivate, why had he come here to have his breakfast? He could have just eaten at home and continue cultivating after that!

Nonetheless, she kept a faint smile on her face. “With Young Master Zhao’s martial arts skills, what is there to worry about?”

Chu Li shook his head and sighed before he answered, “All of my senior brothers and sisters are geniuses at cultivation, and they’ve been cultivating much longer than I have.”

“Well then, I hope Young Master Zhao continues to advance in your cultivation. I shall not disturb you anymore.” Yue Ru gave him a smile and a curtsy before walking away elegantly.

As Chu Li watched her graceful retreating figure, he shook his head and laughed. The jealousy of a woman was truly strange.

His gaze suddenly became alert and fell upon a young man.

This young man was clad in white and had a charming smile on his face that gave off a friendly and pleasant vibe. He was gently swaying a folding fan.

As the young man stared at Yue Ru’s retreating figure, the smile on his face remained charming and pleasant while his gaze seemed filled with deep emotions. His appearance was very eye-catching and most of the people there had turned to look at him.

Chu Li examined this young man with a thoughtful look on his face.

Given that this person seemed to be so interested in Yue Ru, most people would assume that he had probably fallen for her and was thinking of pursuing her. It would hardly occur to them that he was filled with murderous intent and was planning to take Yue Ru’s life.

Chu Li secretly felt strange that there was a layer of red glow around this young man’s body. This glow seemed like a blazing flame with a thick cloud of smoke and was unusually robust with vital essence.

He suddenly found this young man very intriguing. Since he had murderous intentions toward Yue Ru, he should be an enemy of hers. However, what martial art had this young man cultivated that had made him seem so strange?
