He turned his head and saw that figure.

Chen Yi was looking at him with a smile.

The little official screamed, buried his head, and hid in the courtyard.

That sharp voice sounded like an announcement of the start of a duel. Qin Tu's eyes instantly turned sharp, and he curled his fingers into claws, sweeping fiercely.

The claw wind was sharp, breaking the wind with a whistling sound. Originally intending to crush Chen Yi's neck with one claw, but at an incredibly close distance, Chen Yi happened to twist his neck back, causing the claw to miss and hit the stone wall of the alley.

Bricks shattered, dust rolled, and stone debris hit Qin Tu's face. He would not easily give up, curling his fingers into claws again, he bent over to pounce.

At that moment, a fist reached his stiffened abdomen as he bent.

The force was not too much, just enough to interrupt the stress throughout his body. His True Qi instantly became chaotic, and he fell backward onto the ground.

Qin Tu still wanted to get up, then saw a sword pointed at his neck,

"Hero, spare my life, spare my life! I am, I am an official, from the government office!"

"Then why did you test me?"

"I heard rumors that the Chongyang Temple in Shantong City was about to reveal a Secret Realm, so these days the city has been full of mixed people. For the safety of the city's people... we are monitoring suspicious individuals."

"Am I suspicious?"

"You have come in and out of the city many times, and you wear a Taoist robe. If you are not suspicious, who is?"

"I am very suspicious."

Chen Yi listened to his words and found no problem, so he took the opportunity to ask further upon hearing Qin Tu mentioning the Secret Realm to see if he knew more.

He asked, "Do you know what's going on with the Chongyang Sword Pond Secret Realm?"

The sword pressed closer, Qin Tu broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"I know that this Daoist Temple was built during the founding of the previous dynasty, modeled after the ancestral court of the Quanzhen Sect's Chongyang Palace, hence the name Chongyang Temple. Shantong City is a mountainous place by nature, and Chongyang Temple is even more elevated, almost a scene of climbing to the sky. It is said that at the mountain's peak amidst the sea of clouds and thunderstorms, there is a thunder pool where lightning coils like a snake's nest. Chongyang Temple throws peach wood magic swords and Money Swords into it to temper them with thunder, hence the name Leixiao Sword Washing Pond."

"That's been spread all over the streets, tell me something I don't know."

"Well... about seventy years ago, the Loulan Sword Emperor fought with the Sword Demon Wu Buxu atop Chongyang Temple. Storytellers say it was a fight where the sky turned dark, and the mountains crumbled. Wu Buxu became the number one in the world after that battle, while Loulan Sword Emperor suffered serious injuries and retreated. After their battle, for some unknown reason, the Sect Leader of Chongyang Temple sealed the Leixiao Sword Washing Pond, making it a forbidden place ever since."

"Sealed it... did the aftermath of their battle unleash something terrible?"

"Hero, I don't know, I'm just a small official."

"Loulan Sword Emperor, that name sounds familiar. Who is it?"

With a sword at his throat, Qin Tu trembled and said, "The, the current top ten Broken Swordsman in the world is, is his master!"

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the Jianghu, the world's experts are like carp crossing the river, with talented people emerging in every generation. The Loulan Sword Emperor might have been famous for a time, but that is already past, becoming old stories used by white-haired elders to scold younger generations. But old stories are just that, long since no longer the Jianghu of their generation.

Having asked everything he wanted, Chen Yi withdrew his sword, turned, and walked away briskly.

After Chen Yi walked completely far away, Qin Tu waited for a while, then stomped his foot and cursed:

"Little brat got lucky, blind cat catching a dead mouse and catching me off guard. Next time I see you, let's see if you're so lucky!"

............

Chen Yi returned to the alley and saw Lu Ying, who had been waiting for a while.

The senior sister was waiting idly, kicking a stone on the ground with her small foot.

When she saw Chen Yi approaching, she said, "Finished?"

"Finished, it was actually just a small matter."

Chen Yi said casually and was about to walk past her.

But the senior sister had something to say.

Pressing the part of her bottom where Chen Yi had hit and then touched, Lu Ying was slightly annoyed, raising her voice:

"Men and women should not have casual contact. Why did you, why did you touch me there for no reason?"

"I was just being considerate to help you keep from revealing yourself." Chen Yi laughed, "You don't think I'm interested in you, do you? With your tiny frame."

Lu Ying paused, looked down, and could see her two feet almost without hindrance.

Being belittled like this, Lu Ying felt a sourness in her heart and said, "I am a Taoist, I'm not nursing children!"

"So I'm not interested in you."

Chen Yi waved dismissively.

Although Lu Ying was the senior sister, she was not very old. Seeing this scene, she became angrier and said:

"It's good you're not interested. Who acts like a rake like you..."

But this comeback sounded somewhat weak...

Wasn't it just confirming that she's not worthy of interest to others? How is this a comeback?

Chen Yi teased, "I just can't stand those without a figure."

Lu Ying racked her brains, and after trying hard for a while, countered back: "Your, your concubine... no, junior sister has even less of a figure than me. Are you also not interested in her? I'll go back and tell her!"

Chen Yi was a bit stumped. If Lu Ying really went back and told the little fox, the little fox might cry again.

So he said, "Alright, alright, I am interested in you."

After speaking, Chen Yi seriously looked Lu Ying up and down.

Oval face, hair like a waterfall tied up, slightly wisped around the cheeks, further highlighting a maiden's air, she was not much older than Yin Tingxue, a budding beauty yet to blossom. But once she grows, she would surely become a National Beauty.

"It's good that you're interested in me."

Lu Ying snorted coldly. She felt she had won the argument this time, proudly tilting her chin up.
