Mei Qianluo

This answer was far beyond what Chu Qing and the black-clothed man had expected.

"Utterly absurd!"

The black-clothed man couldn't believe it and said coldly:

"Who exactly are you? Why are you hiding in the Chu Family?

"Do the people of the Chu Family... know that I am currently in Heavenly Dance City?

"If you tell me the truth, I can still spare your life tonight... otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These words were clearly meant to deceive ghosts.

He had hired assassins, was disguised in black, and had just launched a sneak attack.

It was obvious he intended to silence them by killing them, so how could he spare a life?

Junior Sister Wen's indifferent face showed no change, only her eyes held a hint of confusion:

"I am Wen Rou, the fourth disciple under Cui Buno, the seat holder of the Wrathful God Fist at Taiyi Sect.

"Hiding in the Chu Family? I didn't... I went with Third senior brother.

"Third senior brother returned home after mastering his skills. Afterward, he wanted to roam the jianghu to find his Third Brother, saying he could take me home along the way, so Master let me descend the mountain with him.

"He also instructed me to obey Third senior brother...

"As for whether the people of the Chu Family know you are in Heavenly Dance City, I don't know.

"But judging by your appearance, you don't seem like a good person. Even if they knew, I wouldn't tell you.

"Oh right, Uncle, who are you?"

Hearing Wen Rou's words, the black-clothed man's eyes flickered with thought.

He had a feeling this girl didn't seem very bright... Would a normal person answer every question from an unknown black-clothed man?

Could she be... crazy?

With a slight shift in his thoughts, he decided to test her:

"Little girl, I was just joking with you earlier.

"I'm actually a good person."

"...But you just said you were going to kill me."

"Eh? Between you and me, there's no past grievance, and no present enmity. Why would I kill you?"

The black-clothed man said:

"Like this, you just asked me who I am, and I'll tell you now. But for fairness, I'll answer one of your questions, and you answer one of mine, how about that?"

Wen Rou's eyes immediately sparkled:

"Do you want to be friends with me?"

"Friends... right!"

The black-clothed man quickly nodded:

"I want to be friends with you!"

Chu Qing blinked, feeling like there was a trap here.

Wen Rou had clearly seemed unfathomable before, so why did she look like a silly girl now?

Or was it that the reason she seemed unfathomable was because she spoke little... and by speaking more, she revealed her naive and foolish side?

This black-clothed man clearly wanted to trick her into revealing information, but he didn't know how much Wen Rou knew.

At this point, should he intervene?

Chu Tian and the others wanted to play a game of chess, and the matter involved the conflict between Ten Thousand Night Valley and Heavenly Dance City.

This black-clothed man's origins were unknown, but he clearly had ill intentions.

Wen Rou had found his fan, and he thought Wen Rou knew his identity, an identity that the Chu Family absolutely could not know.

Therefore, he was going to kill to silence her tonight.

Could this person be an inside agent left in Heavenly Dance City by Ten Thousand Night Valley?

If that were the case, then he really couldn't let him leave this courtyard.

This matter not only involved the safety of the Chu Family and Heavenly Dance City, but also concerned a big deal of his own.

Thinking this in his heart, he saw Wen Rou nod:

"Okay, then you go first, who exactly are you?"

The black-clothed man's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this. He had intended to casually make up a name, thinking this girl wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't dare to be so hasty, and said in a deep voice:

"My surname is Mei, Mei Qianluo!"

Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, Mei Qianluo... Flying Cloud Sparrow Fan, Withered Leaf Thousand Falls!

This person is the Third Boss of the Shashen Gang, 'Flying Cloud Withered Leaf' Mei Qianluo.

But... why is he in Heavenly Dance City?

And appearing during the lockdown of Heavenly Dance City?

The Shashen Gang is adjacent to Ten Thousand Night Valley and has always been at odds with Ten Thousand Night Valley, yet he appears in Heavenly Dance City at this critical juncture.

What is going on?

Wen Rou's eyes widened upon hearing this:

"Your name is Mei Qianluo?

"How pitiful, I have some loose silver on me, do you want it?"

"..."

I want your grandpa!!

Mei Qianluo's face darkened. His real name wasn't Mei Qianluo, but the words 'Flying Cloud Sparrow Fan' and 'Withered Leaf Thousand Falls' were his resounding trademarks. People in the martial world simply called him 'Qianluo' by name.

For over twenty years, no one had dared to mock him using this.

He never expected that today, he would be ridiculed by a young girl not yet twenty years old.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to speak:

"Young lady, don't say anything else. You've already asked your question, now it's my turn.

"I ask you, is Chu Yunfei truly dead?"

Chu Qing further concealed his aura. This question was crucial.

He quietly looked at Wen Rou, wondering how she would answer.

"I don't know."

Wen Rou's voice remained devoid of warmth:

"Master said that when visiting someone's home, one shouldn't cause trouble.

"So, I wander outside as soon as I wake up every day and only return at night.

"The Chu Family has been very busy these past few days, and no one has paid attention to me. I haven't even seen Third Senior Brother for several days.

"Huh? Are you saying Uncle Chu is dead?"

"..."

Who the hell is asking whom?

If I knew... why would I bother asking you?

Just as he was considering what to ask next, he heard Wen Rou say:

"No, no, I don't want to know the answer to this question. It doesn't count. I'll ask another one.

"Besides me, how many friends do you have in this city?"

As soon as this question was asked, Chu Qing's expression suddenly became a little strange.

He had originally thought that this Wen Rou was truly a foolish girl, but... her first question revealed Mei Qianluo's name, thus revealing his origins.

The second question... was less about asking about his friends and more about asking how many people from the Shashen Gang were hiding in Heavenly Dance City, waiting for an opportunity?

"Huh?"

Mei Qianluo was stunned:

"Wait, your previous answer was that you didn't know. According to reason, I should ask another question."

"That's not right."

Wen Rou shook her head:

"Not knowing is my answer. I have already answered truthfully.

"This question has passed, and it's your turn to answer my question.

"Or... you don't want to be friends with me at all, you just..."

Her voice suddenly became increasingly cold:

"Deceiving me here?"

Mei Qianluo's pupils suddenly contracted:

"How dare you!!"

He had hunted geese all day, only to be pecked by a sparrow today!

The stinky girl pretended to be foolish, and instead tricked himself.

In a fit of rage, he waved his hand to strike, but saw that Wen Rou's finger force had already arrived.

He became even more enraged, and with a casual flick of his wrist, a folding fan was opened with a swish. He tapped the surface of the fan, and it was like pebbles falling into water.

As the fan surface rippled, Mei Qianluo retracted and swept his hand.

Wen Rou leaned back to dodge, her toes tapped, Tai Yi Divine Leg!

However, when this skill was displayed by her hands, it lacked Chu Fan's powerful force. Instead, it was light and agile, with a different kind of exquisite variation.
