Seeing Junior Sister Wen Again

Chu Qing looked up silently, listening to the tiles rattle under the feet of the approaching person. After a moment, the sound faded into the distance.

He mused for a moment but didn't dwell on it.

There were too many things happening in the martial world, and too many people.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs every day; it wasn't uncommon for people to be running around the streets late at night.

The City Lord's Mansion's curfew could control ordinary citizens, but it couldn't control these high-flying experts.

There was no reason for him to go check out every bit of excitement.

Unless it concerned him directly, or if there was a job he could take, it was better not to meddle in other people's business.

Thinking this, he closed his eyes again and circulated the Purple Mist Ruoxu Scripture.

But after he had only cultivated for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the footsteps that had left earlier suddenly returned.

And this time, it wasn't just one person...

Chu Qing distinguished the footsteps and realized the person who had passed by earlier was now moving much more rapidly.

It was as if they were fleeing for their life in a panic.

The person behind them was faster, and unfortunately for the first person, they were caught on Chu Qing's rooftop.

The two began to fight right there on Chu Qing's roof.

Chu Qing reluctantly withdrew his internal energy into his dantian, then propped himself up on his elbows and looked at the roof.

He saw the tiles cracking and rattling underfoot, and dust kept falling down. He felt utterly annoyed.

"Why is this endless?"

A hint of wariness arose in Chu Qing's heart. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

First, they passed over his roof, then they came back and started fighting on it.

Could it be that the Mirror of Sin people had discovered his location and were putting on a show on his rooftop?

Would these two scoundrels, while fighting, suddenly break through the roof and launch a killing blow at him?

Thinking of this, Chu Qing also became vigilant.

But soon the two people fought from the roof down to the ground... Judging by the sound of the initial landing, someone must have been knocked off the roof and fallen into the courtyard.

Chu Qing's room was not lit. He crept to the window and peeked out of the corner of his eye.

The one who had fallen was a person in black.

Observing their movements, Chu Qing felt a sense of familiarity... This was the scent of his own kind.

An assassin?

Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. Just then, the person on the roof also flew down.

They landed in the courtyard.

Under the starlight, the person's true appearance was revealed.

She wore a green robe and her skin was as white as snow.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains veiled in mist, and her appearance was quite striking.

However, there was no emotional fluctuation in her almond-shaped eyes, and her entire face was cold...

As if she didn't care about anything in this world.

The moment Chu Qing saw this person, he felt a headache coming on.

Isn't this Junior Sister Wen?!

Why is she here?

Was this assassin here to kill her?

If it were anyone else, Chu Qing wouldn't mind going out and throwing these two unwelcome guests out.

The problem was, there was something strange about Junior Sister Wen.

Before, at the tea stall, it seemed like she had seen something. Afterward, at the Chu Family, she even directly gave him the broken bowl he had once used.

There was a high probability that she had somehow figured out that the beggar at the tea stall and the servant at the Chu Family were the same person.

Currently, Chu Fan still didn't know he was in Heavenly Dance City. If Junior Sister Wen found out he was living here and brought Chu Fan to 'visit' later, things would get really complicated.

No!

Move, he had to move tomorrow!

Just as he thought this, he saw Junior Sister Wen looking at the assassin and speaking in a low voice:

"What are you... never mind."

Her deep tone became somewhat listless.

After that, she flicked a finger, aiming directly for the assassin's glabella.

At this move, not only the assassin, but even Chu Qing was a little confused.

She was going to ask something just now, wasn't she?

She gave up halfway through asking?

Did she know the assassin was tight-lipped and wouldn't reveal anything?

Or was there some other reason?

That finger strike was extremely sharp. Chu Qing thought carefully. In the Human Character Scroll of the Book of the Immutable Heavens, he had only heard of the three ultimate techniques: Grand Easy Divine Fist, Grand Easy Divine Palm, and Grand Easy Divine Legs. He hadn't seen a Grand Easy Divine Finger technique.

But judging solely from this finger technique, its intricacy was definitely no less than the Great Easy Sect's martial arts.

The assassin didn't know what method Junior Sister Wen had used on him. Facing this finger strike, he was completely powerless and could only close his eyes and wait for death.

Just as he was about to meet his end right there, Chu Qing suddenly looked up. When did another uninvited guest appear on this roof?

This person's martial arts were even more profound. Their landing was so light, far surpassing Junior Sister Wen and this assassin.

It was only in this very instant that Chu Qing discovered this person's presence.

Meanwhile, Junior Sister Wen turned around at the same time, applying force to her fingertip and sending it out abruptly.

With a buzz, a steel bead was stopped three inches in front of her finger, unable to advance further for a moment.

Simultaneously, Junior Sister Wen flicked her left hand backward. The assassin on the ground suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. Her palm strike from a distance had caved in his chest by more than an inch.

"How ruthless!"

The person on the roof spoke coldly, while Junior Sister Wen, resisting the steel bead, spoke with a hint of confusion:

"It's you."

"Huh?"

The person on the roof sounded a bit startled:

"You know who I am?"

Junior Sister Wen pressed her left hand onto her right arm, and the force in her finger instantly increased dramatically.

With a bang, the steel bead was actually crushed by the combined internal energy of the two.

Then Junior Sister Wen said:

"I returned the fan you dropped yesterday. How could I not know who you are?"

The person on the roof didn't speak for a moment, but their figure flew down from mid-air.

Only then did Chu Qing realize that this person was also dressed in black and masked.

Then he felt a little speechless...

This person was masked in black, yet Junior Sister Wen could recognize them.

How on earth did she do it?

"How on earth did you recognize me?"

The same question was clearly bothering this person in black.

However, Chu Qing didn't think Junior Sister Wen would easily tell others such a secret.

By now, he had a rough understanding of the situation.

This Junior Sister Wen, somehow, somewhere, picked up this person in black's fan.

She was even kind enough to return the fan to them.

Just like when she returned that bowl to Chu Qing...

As a result, this person in black, whose identity was unknown, suddenly became very worried about their identity being exposed.

So they found an assassin that night, wanting to kill Junior Sister Wen.

Unfortunately, the assassin wasn't skilled enough and couldn't kill Junior Sister Wen, so they had to step in themselves.

But even though the situation was clear, it became even more incomprehensible...

What was the deal with this Junior Sister Wen?

Was she born with some kind of "item-finding sacred body"?

She picked up his broken bowl, she picked up this person in black's fan, and she could even find the owner of the item based on what she picked up.

What on earth was going on?

Then he heard Junior Sister Wen say:

"I smelled it out.

"The fan had your scent on it. It was easy to know it was yours."

The person in black was filled with astonishment.

Chu Qing, however, suddenly understood:

"A police dog!"
