Chapter 361: Chapter 45: Why do you understand so much? [Ask for monthly ticket!]_1

"Name."

Master Zhao Le of Nanyin Square sat coldly in front of the hall, sternly looking at the two young people standing in the hall.

The girl who just came out of the bath sat gracefully beside, her skin glowing softly under the candle light, and her face as refreshing as a lotus blooming out of clear water, natural without any adornment. Her long hair was loose, her eyes were as clear as water, and there was an inherent innocence in her demeanor.

This woman was none other than Yu Xiang’er.

There had been rumours in the square, if Shen Qingyan’s beauty was captivating and heavenly; Xue Lingxue’s beauty was cold and aloof, alienating people from her; then Yu Xiang’er’s beauty was pure and tender, bringing familiarity to people’s heart.

It seemed so tonight.

What a pity that this scene was not conducive for appreciating beauties... because it wasn’t proper to lift the head.

"Ji Lingyu.", "Chu Liuxiang."

The two reported their names in quick succession.

"I went to the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, who do you think you are fooling?" Master Zhao Le rolled his eyes, "I know you are Chu Liang of the Shu Mountain Sect, I was present when you slew Tao Wu."

"..." Chu Liang was silent for a moment. Indeed, fame comes with its consequences, especially when you are arrested... He too had to say, "Junior’s surname is Chu, given name is Liang, style name is Liuxiang."

"I don’t care about your names, or which outstanding talent you are from any sect, daring to intrude into my Music Pavilion, peeping at the disciples of my Nanyin Square, is disgraceful. I will inform your clans and sects, to let the elders to come and take you away." Master Zhao Le declared sternly.

"No!" "Senior, that’s unreasonable!"

The two cried out in unison.

Ji Lingyu was still on the run from home, if the Ji Family didn’t come looking for her, she wouldn’t want to return in this manner. She would be grounded for the next decade.

Chu Liang was even more nervous. After all, Ji Lingyu was a girl, and peeping at another girl wasn’t so serious for her, and easier to explain.

But if he were to be caught peeking at Yu Xiang’er, if this news got out, his newly famed name would fan even greater flames.

He would have to change his name and live a hidden life in future.

Being a young man with good cultivation, if his lifetime reputation were to be ruined this way, it would be very sad.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Master Zhao Le looked at them and said unhappily.

"Senior is wise, we did not come to peep at the disciples of Nanyin Square, but to search for the famous thief of Jiangnan, Li Feiyu!" Chu Liang quickly came up with an idea, noting Yu Xiang’er next to him, he directly spilled out the true situation.

"Oh?" Master Zhao Le exclaimed in surprise.

Straight away, Chu Liang talked about the theft of Ba Xia’s Double Rings at the Wuji Mountain Manor and their roles in aiding the manor’s trials.

"But what does this have to do with my Nanyin Square?" Master Zhao Le asked again.

"Because last night, I had a skirmish with Li Feiyu. Senior, take a look at this!" Chu Liang turned over his hand, and took out the bellyband.

"..."

The hall fell into silence.

After a while, Master Zhao Le asked gravely, "Do you think I don’t recognize this item?"

"I stole this item from the thief." continued Chu Liang.

Master Zhao Le weighed up this statement and found it a little strange.

Stolen from the thief...

And it was a bellyband.

It seemed like you are also not any good, right?

He’s the flying thief, and you are the lewd thief, huh?

"To make a long story short, together with Miss Ji, we followed this object’s residual energy and found this place, that’s why we wanted to come in to investigate." Chu Liang continued.

Through the entire process he was observing Yu Xiang’er’s facial expressions, and found that she was still sitting there quietly.

"If that is the case, it can be understood." Master Zhao Le finally relaxed his stern face and said, "If there are any persons related to the thief in the Music Pavilion, you can directly inform us at Nanyin Square, why should you sneak in at night?"

"Because the situation is unclear, I beg your forgiveness for the presumption, Senior." Chu Liang apologized again, then added, "Just now, Miss Ji determined that the owner of this belly band... is Miss Yu here."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Master Zhao Le immediately looked at Yu Xiang’er.

Only then did Yu Xiang’er, who had been quietly sitting aside, finally spoke. She nodded gently and said, "I did lose a belly cover a few days ago. I didn’t feel comfortable mentioning it, thinking that I just misplaced it. But now, it seems like someone might have stolen it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Liang.

Her gaze seemed to suggest uncertainty, questioning whether the belly cover had been snatched by the flying thief or stolen by Chu Liang - it was all unclear...

Whether there was a middleman involved was also uncertain.

"Well, today, it can be considered returned to its rightful owner," Chu Liang returned the belly cover to Yu Xiang’er.

Yu Xiang’er delicately accepted it and briskly put it away.

"I will conduct a thorough investigation in Music Pavilion tomorrow, and keep an eye on anyone who is suspicious or might be connected to the flying thief," Master Zhao Le stood up and said, "You two rest assured, if indeed this flying thief is inside Music Pavilion, we will certainly not let him off the hook."

"I have complete trust in Nanyin Square," Chu Liang replied.

Master Zhao Le then asked, "But since you said you came to support the disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect, why are there not any of them here, only you two?"

"Well..." Chu Liang weakly answered, "You just fought two of them outside."

They left the Music Pavilion.

Both of them let out a sigh of relief.

However, Ji Lingyu quickly commented, "With this belly cover clue gone, it is much harder to find Li Feiyu."

"Something’s off about Miss Yu," Chu Liang declared decisively, "I can assure you she’s lying."

"Huh?" Ji Lingyu was taken aback, "Why are you so certain?"

Chu Liang, with a confident expression, explained, "When I suddenly pulled out the belly cover, it was to see her reaction. Regardless of circumstances, a woman seeing her lost personal item being presented to her would not react that way."

Remembering the Demon Princess Liu’s expression that day, he continued his analysis, "She would definitely feel some degree of shame and anger. However, Miss Yu was way too calm, not surprised at all. It’s as if she... was expecting it."

Listening to his words, Ji Lingyu’s attention wasn’t focused on Yu Xiang’er, but rather, she gave Chu Liang a puzzled look and asked, "How do you understand all this?"

Chu Liang slowly enunciated, "Experience."

Upon hearing this word, Ji Lingyu jolted, quietly stepping back a couple of steps. The look in her eyes toward Chu Liang was one of alarm.

...

The next day, at noon.

The Music Pavilion was packed with people.

Unfortunately, this was not a formal tour. Miss Yu would only perform two or three songs at most, and the venue would not be as large as a tour, only this hall.

The hall had limited capacity; many people from Donghuai City were standing outside the Music Pavilion, hoping to hear Miss Yu’s performance from outside.

When Ren Hongdao and Minister Zhang arrived, they were astonished to find not only Chu Liang, Yun Chaoxian, Ji Lingyu, Tang Shi...

But also Li Fujian and Zhuge Guanxing were seated with them.

"Junior Brother, you also like Miss Yu?" Ren Hongdao was delighted.

Li Fujian nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes."

Minister Zhang behind him rubbed his forehead helplessly. About to say something, he suddenly noticed a lovely and innocent-looking young girl also sitting beside Chu Liang. The girl’s big eyes were very spirited, it seemed like she came along.

Minister Zhang then curiously inquired, "This is...."

"Oh, this is the champion of Shu Mountain’s Mahjong tournament, Liu Xiaoyu," Chu Liang introduced with a smile.

"Did Miss Liu specially come from Shu Mountain?" Minister Zhang asked again.

Chu Liang replied, "Yes, Little Yi really loves singing and dancing. When she heard that there was a performance by Miss Yu, she made such a fuss that she had to come over."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu’s small face turned downcast as if she was recalling some unpleasant memory.

Chu Liang gently nudged her, "Isn’t that right?"

"Yes," Liu Xiaoyu ruefully admitted, "I love singing and dancing the most."
