Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four people looked like they were carried away by the wind as they fluttered out of Gale City. After a short while, they arrived at an old luscious forest that was more than ten miles away from Gale City. The group saw the He Brothers’ corpses lying on the ground. Their heads were separated from their bodies, but the severed heads were left behind. There were flying blades in both of the corpses’ eyes.

“Ahh...” Fu Yu raised his head and furiously yelled, “Zhao Dahe!”

Zhou Ninghe had always been a peaceful person, but his expression had subconsciously become terrifyingly grim. Zhou Ninghe seemed cold and tough as steel.

The group could tell that the He Brothers were killed with the Light Blade by looking at their injuries. Zhao Dahe was the only person who could have done this.

Zhang Junrui shook his head. “Zhao Dahe has gone too far!”

“The He Brothers weren’t ordinary people, they were both top-notch masters. How could they have gotten stabbed in both eyes with flying blades?” Bai Feng lowered her head and observed their injuries. Bai Feng’s long dark eyebrows that touched the hair on her temples were faintly furrowed. “The Light Blade is impressive, but couldn’t the He Brothers simply open their eyes and dodge it?”

The eyes were always the fastest at dodging obstacles. It was also difficult to attack someone’s eyes because these sensory organs would naturally react faster than the brain. The body would subconsciously avoid attacks from foreign objects without waiting for the brain to react.

The Light Blade moved quickly but it was impossible that He Jingchuan and He Jingjiang could not avoid it.

Bai Feng’s expression remained unchanged as she looked at those two violently severed heads. It seemed as though Bai Feng was merely considering their looks.

“Weren’t they wearing their White Tiger Armor?” Zhang Junrui asked.

“You’re right!” Fu Yu scoffed. “They were wearing their White Tiger Armor, but that brat stole it. I swear I’ll kill him!”

Bai Feng said, “Old Man Fu, you should think carefully before you speak. Are you sure that you can kill him?”

“Bai Feng!” Fu Yu coldly spat. “Are you hiding him somewhere?”

“You’re out of your mind, Old Man Fu!” Bai Feng furiously replied.

“The He Brothers came here tonight to find Zhao Dahe. When they finally found him, they pursued him all the way here. Zhao Dahe is definitely hiding in your Phoenix Goddess Brothel!” Fu Yu sneered. “I never thought that the Tian Luo Sect would be so bold.”

“I never thought that the man named Fu would be such a fool!” Bai Feng shook her head and asked, “Did the He Brothers really go to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel to find Zhao Dahe?”

“Yes.” Fu Yu huffed.

Bai Feng said, “As expected of the outrageous White Tiger Sect. They simply charged into the Phoenix Goddess Brothel as they pleased. I bet that the White Tiger Sect is going to rush into the Tian Luo Sect next!”

“Bai Feng, stop being unreasonable. It’s impossible that Zhao Dahe merely vanished into thin air for no reason. Zhao Dahe is definitely hiding in a formation, and it happens that there’s a formation in your Phoenix Goddess Brothel!” Fu Yu coldly scoffed.

Bai Feng responded, “Alright, let’s go to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel again and search every single room there. I, Bai Feng, will willingly cripple my own martial arts and forfeit my position if we find Zhao Dahe. However, if we fail to find him, you must negate your martial arts and permanently live in seclusion from then on, Fu Yu!”

“Fine!” Fu Yu loudly replied.

“Brother Fu!” Zhou Ninghe waved his hand and said, “Don’t joke about that.”

Fu Yu angrily said, “I’m not joking. I’m going to make a bet with Bai Feng today!”

Bai Feng sneered. “This bet isn’t satisfying enough. Don’t you still have two sets of White Tiger Armor? Why don’t you bet those two sets of armor instead? Fu Yu, if you lose, you must give me the White Tiger Armor. If I lose, I’ll kill myself right in front of you!”

“Miss Bai!” Zhou Ninghe angrily spat. “Why are you kicking up such a big fuss?”

Bai Feng scoffed. “This person named Fu is terribly paranoid, but his suspicions are baseless. My Tian Luo Sect has been minding our own business, but the rest of you are bullying us. I need to vent my anger today. To the person named Fu, don’t you dare flinch if you’re a real man!”

Zhou Ninghe huffed. “Brother Fu, you have no right to bet on the White Tiger Armor.”

“I’ll bet my life then!” Fu Yu said.

Bai Feng shook her head. “Your life is worth less than mine. You’re not as valuable as a set of White Tiger Armor!”

“Miss Bai!” Zhou Ninghe yelled. “Alright, both of you should stop arguing. What difference will it make?”

Bai Feng replied, “The He Brothers have mysteriously died, but all of you are taking your frustrations out on me. I’m an idiot for trying to admire the moon with you. Goodbye!”

Bei Feng turned around and left just as she finished speaking.

“Hold on!” Fu Yu shouted.

Bai Feng impatiently glared at him.

Fu Yu said, “We want to search through the Phoenix Goddess Brothel again.”

“The one named Fu is so annoying.” Bai Feng frowned before she turned to Zhou Ninghe and said, “Old Man Zhou, are you going to do the same?”

Zhou Ninghe sighed. “If we search through the Phoenix Goddess Brothel and discover that there’s nothing wrong, we’ll give up once and for all.”

“Alright, go ahead and search then!” Bai Feng nodded. “However, I want a set of White Tiger Armor. You must give me a set of White Tiger Armor if you fail to find Zhao Dahe. Otherwise, I’ll never agree to this. You’ll only get to search through the Phoenix Goddess Brothel over my dead body!”

“Fine!” Fu Yu spat. “We’ll give you a set of White Tiger Armor if we can’t find Zhao Dahe. If we manage to find him, we’re going to have a long talk with Sect Leader Luo.”

“No problem!” Bai Feng angrily said, “Let’s go.”

“Bai Feng, stand behind and keep quiet!” Fu Yu spat.

Bai Feng glared furiously at Fu Yu but she remained silent.

Zhang Junrui grinned and said, “Miss Bai, I’m curious as well. I’d like to know where exactly Zhao Dahe is hiding to be able to evade the White Tiger Soul-Tracking Technique.”

“He’s definitely hiding in your territory.” Bai Feng scoffed.

Zhang Junrui shook his head. “That’s impossible. We have no connection to Zhao Dahe.”

“You may not be associated with Zhao Dahe but people like you would simply form a connection with him to gain power.” Bai Feng curled her lip in contempt.

Fu Yu and Zhou Ninghe took the two corpses to the Roaring Tiger Clan first. The two men placed the corpses in the Roaring Tiger Clan before they went to the third floor of the Phoenix Goddess Tower at once.

Phoenix Goddess Brothel was a dazzling and luxurious place that was bustling and lively.

Yue Ru was wearing an emerald green gown when she came out to greet them. Yue Ru looked at the group in shock before she turned to Bai Feng and said, “Master.”

Bai Feng waved her hand. “Let them search the area. They suspect that we’ve been hiding Zhao Dahe.”

“Yes.” Yue Ru gently nodded.

Fu Yu glanced at Yue Ru, but Yue Ru lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Zhou Ninghe said, “We’ll start from the third floor and work our way down. We’re going to search through every room.”

Zhang Junrui smirked and said, “I’ll keep watch outside to stop him if he’s really here.”

Zhou Ninghe nodded. “Thank you for your trouble, Brother Zhang.”

Bai Feng cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Junrui. “You’re just doing unnecessary things to show off!”

Zhang Junrui chuckled. He was not concerned at all.

The men searched every single room. They were not worried if Chu Li tried to escape because their White Tiger Soul-Tracking Technique would be able to sense Chu Li if he appeared.

Yue Ru seemed slightly anxious when she glanced at Bai Feng. However, Bai Feng’s expression did not change and her calm demeanor did not waver. Yue Ru greatly admired Bai Feng when she noticed this. Yue Ru realized that she was a coward when she compared herself to her master.

Yue Ru’s heart started thumping wildly when the men arrived at Chu Li’s original room.

Yue Ru knew that Zhao Dahe was currently inside the room because he had returned. Everything would be over if the men opened the door and saw Zhao Dahe.

“Is there something wrong with this room?” Fu Yu suddenly turned his head.

Fu Yu could hear Yue Ru’s loud heartbeat.

Annoyed, Bai Feng said, “Just open the door and take a look if you want to find out. What are you babbling about?”

“Whose room is this?” Fu Yu glanced at Yue Ru.

Bai Feng replied, “It’s Yue Ru’s boudoir. Manly men like yourselves must be very curious. Hurry up and look inside then!”

“I see.” Fu Yu leisurely nodded before he slowly pushed the door open.

Yue Ru took a deep breath. Fortunately, the worries in Yue Ru’s mind instantly vanished when she noticed that the room was completely empty.

Fu Yu carefully scanned the room. When he noticed that nothing was amiss, Fu Yu glanced at Yue Ru before he scoffed. “Let’s go.”
