Chapter 1374: Chapter 614: An Unremarkable Success Surpasses Faultlessness (Part 2)

The people standing guard at the entrance of the martial arts school, upon seeing this person, all tightened their faces, stood at attention, and saluted, indicating this person held a high status within the school.

"Cun Jinsui, one of the Great Instructors of the Martial Pavilion of Hundred Fathoms. Known for the Thousand Needle Sword Technique, among the few Great Instructors of the Martial Pavilion, he has the fewest disciples, but their overall strength is the strongest."

Yu Ji recited unexpectedly, as if he knew it by heart.

Both Fang Yu and Lu Qiaochun looked at him simultaneously.

"How do you know so much about this?" Lu Qiaochun asked curiously.

"I encountered him once. Do you remember when a black-clad person suddenly attacked us on the street deep into the night?"

Lu Qiaochun frowned, thinking.

It seemed somewhat familiar.

But...

"Didn’t we chase that guy off in a few moves?"

Since the attacker was quite weak, with only good footwork, Lu Qiaochun almost forgot about it.

Plus, they were actually on another mission at the time, having no time to pursue this bizarre assailant who appeared out of nowhere and then fled equally suddenly. Moreover, their mission was successfully completed in the end, so this little incident was overlooked. Unexpectedly, Yu Ji remembered.

"Yeah, at that time the black-clad man did flee. But he used a sword, a particularly distinct rapier, and there aren’t many in Thunder City who use this kind of sword. I later asked people from the Spring Department and eventually found out a few experts in the city known for using this kind of sword. This Cun Jinsui is one of them. So it left an impression."

Lu Qiaochun was puzzled: "Why didn’t you tell me about this matter?"

"The people I needed to investigate were quite troublesome, and I gave up looking into it; there was no follow-up, so naturally, I didn’t tell you."

As the two conversed with interest, Fang Yu expressed confusion.

"Aren’t you face-blind?"

Yu Ji also looked at Fang Yu, somewhat vexed.

"Sir, I’m just face-blind, not blind... I can still distinguish what weapons others are carrying..."

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Seems... there’s no issue?

By this time, Cun Jinsui, humming a tune, had already walked from the martial arts school to the front entrance of the teahouse where Fang Yu was, and stepped inside with large strides.

"Mr. Sui!"

As soon as Cun Jinsui entered, the shopkeeper cheerfully went to greet him, and many people sitting in the first-floor hall of the teahouse also greeted him.

"Haha! Everyone, enjoy your food and drink, enjoy, enjoy."

Cun Jinsui laughed heartily, spat the dogtail grass from his mouth onto the floor, and asked the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, did the batch of tea I asked about last time come in?"

"Yes, we got it! We got it!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, "Mr. Sui, your news is accurate. A small caravan just happened to pass by the main road of Thunder City. I sent someone to inquire, and successfully bought some."

Hearing that the shopkeeper had obtained the goods, Cun Jinsui’s eyes lit up.

Like a person who has been on a vegetarian diet for ten days and suddenly can eat meat, he was so excited that he didn’t even notice his voice getting a few decibels louder.

"Good, good, good! I want all of it, brew me a pot right now; I want to drink it now!"

"No problem! No problem!"

The shopkeeper directed the waiter to lead him to the second-floor private seating, while he himself went to the kitchen to personally brew the tea. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This scene was completely seen by Fang Yu and his group on the second floor.

"Sir..."

Seeing Cun Jinsui already stepping onto the stairs, Yu Ji and his companion simultaneously looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu squinted, took a sip of tea, and said mildly.

"You two, go apprehend him."

The two were taken aback in unison.

"Here? Now?" Lu Qiaochun asked, surprised.

Fang Yu didn’t reply, merely nodded.

The two exchanged glances, not knowing what each was thinking.

At this moment, Cun Jinsui, led by the waiter, was walking towards them and was about to pass by to head to the private seating in the back.

The two groups met at that instant.

Cun Jinsui’s peripheral vision swept over the three of them without any concern as he was about to retract his gaze.

But to his surprise, the two-person group at the three’s table suddenly stood up!

Before Cun Jinsui could react, the duo closed in at extreme speed!

"What are you doing!?"

Cun Jinsui reached for his sword, but the hand reaching for the sword was already firmly grasped by the cold hand of the suddenly attacking woman!

At the same time, a pain in his knee forced him to kneel, having been ambushed from behind by the woman’s companion, who took control of him!

"What, what are you doing! Who are you! What do you want!"

The waiter shouted in panic, turning tail to run.

Despite his loud voice, he could run fast, perhaps because incidents like this were commonplace, and he quickly fled when sensing trouble.

However, the commotion on the second floor immediately drew attention from others.

Especially those downstairs.

"Mr. Cun?!"

"What are you doing to Mr. Cun!"

"Let go of Mr. Cun! Do you know who he is? He’s a Great Instructor of the Martial Pavilion of Hundred Fathoms!"

Many stood up, yelling in anger!

Their momentum was impressive, but no one actually rushed up; they just shouted from below.

It’s a joke; if even a Great Instructor of the Martial Pavilion of Hundred Fathoms was apprehended, what chance did they have!

Besides, if truth be told, they weren’t really familiar with Cun Jinsui and were just trying to make connections.

"Behave!"

Easily apprehending him, Lu Qiaochun frankly didn’t know if this guy was the one who attacked them that night.

But it didn’t matter. Someone so weak, if not for Fang Yu’s word, she wouldn’t have spared another glance.

Yet it was in this distraction that Lu Qiaochun’s expression suddenly changed!

She saw that the person they had just subdued suddenly had a surge of power!

Before she could react, Cun Jinsui’s body made a great sway, spun 180 degrees, and with a mighty fling, he threw her directly off!

She was actually thrown from the second floor into the main hall below.

"Spring!" Yu Ji shouted, a large hand already struck his abdomen.

Staggering back, he suddenly drew his sword.

Clang!

The clash of swords!

Yu Ji stepped back a few paces, eyes fixed on the person ahead.

"It’s you! It’s definitely you!"

He might mistake people, but he’d never mistake martial arts!

This guy was the one who attacked them that night!

At this moment, the guy’s strength had increased unpredictably compared to that night!

In a way, his strength seemed to be on par with Yu Ji’s!

Yu Ji cautiously confronted the person in front, his peripheral vision noticing their current leader, the Black Department Chief, sipping tea leisurely and showing no intention of intervening, as if everything was unrelated to him.

"All of you, get away!!"

From behind came Lu Qiaochun’s explosive shout, followed by screams and the sounds of tables and chairs breaking.

As someone who always teamed up with Lu Qiaochun in battle, Yu Ji felt very secure as long as she was there, instantly calming his mindset.

But by now, Cun Jinsui had fiercely charged forward!

So fast!?

Uncomparable to his movement technique from that night!

But finally, transparent! Just straightforward!

Sidestepping evasively, he slashed backward, already drawing a wound on Cun Jinsui’s thigh.

Bam!

At this moment, Lu Qiaochun also leaped from the first floor back to the second.

Due to the shift in positions just now, Cun Jinsui was instantly trapped between the two, both in the front and rear.

In the brief standoff between both sides, unexpectedly, Cun Jinsui suddenly turned and abruptly lunged at Fang Yu, who was casually drinking tea nearby!

"Sir?!" Yu Ji cried out!

But his abilities were limited, and it was too late even though he saw it.

"Be careful, sir!" Lu Qiaochun shouted, though she seemed somewhat composed, her eyes glued to the Fang Yu’s direction, hiding certain thoughts.

"Ah..."

Fang Yu let out a sigh.

In the next moment, just as Cun Jinsui was about to reach Fang Yu and stretch out his hand...

Bang!

Cun Jinsui’s head suddenly exploded!

Blood, like a burst watermelon, splattered all over the table.
