Chapter 487: Chapter 17 Chi Xiao Recognizes Its Master, Night Exploration of Qilin Hunting_4

"Without Li Guanyi, my uncle would still have found Zhao Guanyi or Li Guanyi, finding other pretexts; leaving a gap here, when we return in the future, the gates of this world’s Heroic City will swing wide open, like a woman baring her chest, utterly defenseless."

"Aside from Zhenbei City, nothing else catches my uncle’s eye."

Yuwen Tianxian said, "Speak with caution."

Yuwen Hua smiled casually and said, "Uncle, it is only the two of us here. Besides, for this part of the plan, those from the Martial World can’t see the difference; Mr. Tong is sharp, he has already seen through it. My uncle promised him the title of County Viscount, and his heart was already moved. What’s the harm in letting him hear?"

"It’s just a pity that we couldn’t lure Ji Yanzhong here; otherwise, we would have had the chance to drag the Imperial Family of Central State down as well. The Emperor of Chen Country’s authority has been completely shattered by Taiping Duke’s forces. Presumably, you, Uncle, would also like to trample the untouchable majesty of the Emperor of Central State, wouldn’t you?"

He sighed, "I just regret not having seen that Li Guanyi."

"Otherwise, with my current breakthrough in realm and my martial arts skill, I could have killed him."

Yuwen Tianxian said, "Li Guanyi is no ordinary man; Lie believes that Li Guanyi is quite likely the lost heir of Taiping Duke. With a strategist at his side and his own strategies, anyone who has managed to escape calamity like he has, would often avoid danger rather than seek it out. This Qilin Hunting Conference is too direct; he probably won’t come."

Yuwen Hua also burst out laughing, "Indeed!"

"Going alone to a feast, one is either a fool or a hero."

"If he dares to come, I would actually respect him a bit more!"

Meanwhile, behind their backs, Li Guanyi and Shaking Light overheard the true intentions behind the Yuwen Family’s schemes. The young Taoist cracked a smile and gestured at that man; Yuwen Tianxian seemed to sense something, pausing his steps and looking back.

But all he saw was the deep and gloomy sky, with nothing out of the ordinary.

Yuwen Hua asked, "Uncle, what is it?"

Yuwen Tianxian furrowed his brows then relaxed them, saying:

"It’s nothing... perhaps it was just a figment of my imagination."

"Let’s move on."

As they left, the young Taoist and Shaking Light hid in the shadow cast by the eaves of the house. Shaking Light stuffed a pastry directly into the young man’s mouth and held her hand over Li Guanyi’s mouth; her eyes were wide but her face showed no other emotion, she said quietly:

"He’s a Sixth Level Martial Artist with profound inner strength; he can sense killing intent."

"If you don’t want to end up tied up and thrown into a prison cell with me, you have to contain your killing aura."

Li Guanyi nodded his head.

The silver-haired girl moved her hand away.

Li Guanyi slowed his pace, then, as if possessed, he chuckled and said:

"If that were to happen, it wouldn’t be so bad."

The silver-haired girl took out another pastry and stuffed it into Li Guanyi’s mouth again.

Stuff, stuff!

...

At this moment, in the City Lord Mansion’s hidden liquor storage, Chen Chengbi, who had found hiding to be dull, had spent quite some time doing nothing and had started to eat and drink heartily. Suddenly, he heard people coming outside saying:

"Mr. Yuwen has already arrived, and they are discussing merrily. He said he wants to get some wine to honor the heroes."

"They want us to fetch things."

Startled, Chen Chengbi, who had been sneaking snacks and drinks, looked around.

He spotted a large wine jar that resembled a person, was overjoyed, picked up a roast chicken, opened the jar’s lid, and leaped inside. He then closed the jar from inside; with the jar half-empty, he found there was another person inside.

Dressed in a green shirt, with half-white hair, he was gnawing on a chicken leg.

A carving knife and bamboo slips hung at his waist.

Chen Chengbi’s eyes widened: "Hm?! Tu Shengyuan!?"

"What are you doing here, you old rascal!?"

Tu Shengyuan, Guest Elder of The World’s First Building, was dumbfounded:

"Mad King!?"

"What are you doing here!?"

And then they both answered in unison:

"Joining in the fun! Looking for a fight!"

"Joining in the fun! Looking for a story to write!"

The two of them looked at each other, but before they could react, the servants had already pushed open the door and entered. Then they pointed directly at the large wine jar and said, "This one here, excellent wine, a full thirty years’ worth."

"Take it away, take it away, just put it in the middle of the courtyard."

"Later, Mr. Yuwen will open it himself."

Chen Chengbi and Tu Shengyuan exchanged glances.

The corners of their mouths twitched.

"Damn!"
