81: Chapter 78 Good Wind Relying on Strength 81: Chapter 78 Good Wind Relying on Strength Chu Xisheng had floated on the river surface for less than half a moment when he spotted the Iron Banner Gang’s boat. By coincidence, it was Li Dehou, the incense master of the Iron Banner Gang, who came steering the boat again. Upon seeing Chu Xisheng, he couldn’t help but express surprise, “What a coincidence, Chu Shaohua, you’ve capsized again?” Chu Xisheng’s face suddenly darkened slightly, and his gaze turned coldly toward the river below. Those damned Heluo Fish, they just wouldn’t give up! Once his Sword Skill reached great success, he would definitely slice these Heluo Fish to accompany his drinks. He and his sister boarded Li Dehou’s merchant ship and landed on the West Bank, then returned to Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall under the protection of three Female Guards. This journey was safe and uneventful, without any surprises. However, Mr. Xie Zhenqing and a few of her house guards kept following behind. It’s worth mentioning that this woman not only wore a veil but her gaze was always fixed on Chu Xisheng’s back. Her gaze was sharp beyond measure, like gun and sword, aiming to pierce through Chu Xisheng’s body. Chu Xisheng also felt like there were needles on his back, but since he was indeed at fault in this matter, he could only pretend not to notice. When the group arrived at the academy, Chu Xisheng saw from afar their academy master Lei Yuan, standing at the entrance with a large group of officials and martial instructors, as if waiting for someone. When Lei Yuan saw them, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he walked over swiftly. Chu Xisheng was pleasantly surprised, pondering whether the master was indeed welcoming him? But these past two days, even though he had made some headlines at the Ancient Market, it seemed unlikely that Lei Yuan would regard him with such importance. The next instant, Lei Yuan walked right past him. He laughed heartily and greeted Mr. Xie: “Mr. Xie, you really made Lei Yuan wait a good while today. You should be fined three cups at the banquet later!” “Mr. Xie? What Tower Master?” Chu Xisheng turned and looked back, bewildered. The Female Guard then glanced at him sideways, puzzled, “She is the Debating Martial Arts Tower Master of Xiushui County, don’t you know?” Chu Xisheng’s face instantly darkened, this woman named Xie was actually the Tower Master of Debating Martial Arts in Xiushui County, a Seventh Rank official ‘Proofreading Lang’! Chu Xisheng was full of regrets, “Yunyun, if I sincerely apologize to her now, do you think she will forgive me?” He was indeed planning to spend some money to get someone from Debating Martial Arts to write flattering articles about him. According to modern terms, it’s called buying traffic. The Martial Arts Points he gained after the last publication of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism East Continent Chronicles” had whetted Chu Xisheng’s appetite. Now, he had severely offended the Tower Master of Debating Martial Arts of Xiushui County. Chu Yunyun glanced at Xie Zhenqing, then through the thin veil with her extreme eyesight, she saw the shoe print on Xie Zhenqing’s face, and the anger and hatred in her eyes. Chu Yunyun hesitated slightly, “Perhaps, you can try?” She knew the power of the pen. Offending the Tower Master of Debating Martial Arts in Xiushui County was problematic. They could elevate someone with their words or bury someone in the mud. A true master could naturally ignore them. But they were still just wheat that crumbles at the slightest breeze, unable to withstand storms. Xie Zhenqing also noticed the siblings’ surprised looks. Her spirits were instantly uplifted and gratified. Xie Zhenqing then proudly lifted her chin. She hadn’t even started yet! “Using the wind to soar to Qingyun!” Wait until this issue of “Martial Arts Discussion Divine Mechanism” is published, and your name appears on the Qingyun List of this county, then you will know my prowess, Xie Zhenqing! ※※※※ In the end, Chu Xisheng entered the academy nonchalantly, without looking sideways. Mainly because his persona had already been established as a solo, aloof master. How could he afford to damage his persona in front of a crowd? In private, it was no problem. Chu Xisheng planned to wait a few days until the shoe print on Xie Zhenqing’s face faded and then invite her out, hold a banquet to soothe her feelings. He still needed “Debating Martial Arts Divine Mechanism” to build his reputation; he couldn’t afford to completely offend this Tower Master. After returning to the academy, Chu Xisheng immersed himself in his small courtyard, focusing on practicing his sword. What he said to Zuo Qingyun was not empty talk. Neither the ‘Chasing Wind and Lightning Hand’ of the Second Rank nor the ‘Chasing Wind Saber Secret Moves Map’ could be mastered in just a few days; he had to focus on his cultivation for a while. Chu Xisheng had spent an entire afternoon listening to Chu Yunyun advising on essential techniques of sword skill. Now his sword speed had nearly increased by sixty percent compared to before the Life and Death Arena, and naturally, his way of using the sword was different. Afterward, he used the exhaustion from the Life and Death Arena as an excuse to sleep and entered a virtual dream to practice. Chu Yunyun no longer minded Chu Xisheng’s “greed for sleep.” In the past, she thought Chu Xisheng was being lazy, sleeping during the day, but now she had no objections. If this guy could comprehend sword techniques in his dreams, then him dreaming more wasn’t a bad thing. However, the next morning during the Martial Arts Academy’s morning practice, Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but frown deeply. He could not find Lu Luanti among the crowd. In the past, Chu Xisheng always found Lu Luanti annoying, always shamelessly clinging to him. But today, not seeing this girl, his heart felt as though it was weighed down by a heavy stone, extremely concerned. Ye Zhiqiu had said that currently in Xiushui County, masters were gathering and undercurrents were swirling, with the Blood Wind Thieves lurking in the dark. Although Lu Luanti’s cultivation was strong, reaching the Seventh Rank, it wasn’t necessarily foolproof. She wouldn’t have encountered some trouble, would she? After the morning practice, Chu Xisheng went to the cafeteria and got two chicken legs and three wings. But when he started eating, he found that the ordinarily delicious chicken wings tasted utterly bland in his mouth. Chu Xisheng touched the Wind Escape Talisman pinned at his chest, a life-saving item that still belonged to that girl. “Yunyun, do you think something in Xiushui County could have kept Luanyi from returning all night?” Upon hearing this, Chu Yunyun also knitted her brows and put down her bowl of porridge. Lu Luanti had left in the middle of the night and had been missing for two continuous days, which was out of the ordinary. “She’s hiding in the Martial Arts Academy for nothing other than that so-called Rebellious God Flag and the Lie King’s Treasure,” Chu Yunyun fell into deep thought, “Could she have gone looking for the Rebellious God Flag?” Chu Xisheng was thinking the same thing, the only thing in Xiushui County that could interest Lu Luanti was the Rebellious God Flag. This was of no help; he couldn’t deduce Lu Luanti’s whereabouts based on this. Chu Xisheng pondered for a moment, then decisively pulled out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his sleeve and folded it into a paper crane. Chu Yunyun watched him fold the paper crane, her expression slightly stirred, “Are you looking for Wo Meiniang?” The yellow talisman paper was from the woman named ‘Wo Meiniang’ who had left it for him the night before. “Zuo Ya in the East mentioned she is the person with the most accurate information in Xiushui County, so why not try this Mei Niang’s capability?” Chu Xisheng finished folding the paper crane and infused a strand of his True Yuan into it. The paper crane trembled, then came ‘alive,’ clumsily flapping its wings as it wobbled towards the window and flew out. As soon as it left the cafeteria, however, its flight became much more skilled, quickly disappearing into the sky. Chu Xisheng then went to look for Ye Zhiqiu. Lu Luanti was a student of the Eastern Courtyard of the Martial Arts Academy, and it was proper to inquire with Ye Zhiqiu about this matter. Strangely enough, the siblings searched throughout the Martial Arts Academy but couldn’t find any trace of Ye Zhiqiu. Normally, Ye Zhiqiu would either be teaching classes, practicing Martial Arts, or occasionally playing leaf cards with friends during his free time. But today, he was not to be found in any of these three places. At that moment, a paper crane shakily flew towards them, stopping in front of Chu Xisheng. When Chu Xisheng unfolded the paper crane and glanced it over, his expression subtly changed. Wo Meiniang indeed had news of Lu Luanti. About half a day ago, someone saw a young girl resembling Lu Luanti’s looks and stature appearing at the Fire Bone Cave. Beyond that, Wo Meiniang also gifted two pieces of information. Recently, there were rumors in Xiushui County that years ago, when Qin Muge had trained at the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, he had entered the Fire Bone Cave and stayed inside for nearly half a month. Additionally, a faction of the Blood Wind Thieves had gathered outside the Fire Bone Cave. Lastly, there was a note stating that the matter involved the Blood Wind Thieves, the risk was extremely high, expressing gratitude with five hundred taels of Demon Silver! Chu Xisheng, with a skeptical expression, handed the token to Chu Yunyun, “Did you leave that clue about the Rebellious God Flag in the Fire Bone Cave?” Chu Yunyun immediately replied irritatedly, “How could that be? The matter of the Rebellious God Flag is utterly false; I haven’t even seen it. My previous trip to the Fire Bone Cave was only to look for Yangyang Grass—” She glanced at the handwriting on the token, then her gaze darkened slightly and she quickly headed towards the southern gate of the Martial Arts Academy. That was because that side was the nearest exit within the Martial Arts Academy to the Xiushui County City Gate. Chu Xisheng, without saying a word, followed close behind her. He suspected this was a trap set by the Blood Wind Thieves for Lu Luanti.
