Capturing Ye Feifan, the investigation is basically reaching its conclusion.

Chu Qing even specifically went to visit the Liu Family, and the information he gathered matched up.

Now he only needs to spend a little more time in Brahma Shock City, waiting for Shen Juke’s birthday, and then the truth will be revealed.

Chu Qing would deliver meals to Ye Feifan at regular intervals, checking on his condition.

He is the main witness, so naturally, nothing can go wrong.

Aside from this, he roamed around Brahma Shock City with Gentle, taking in the city’s scenery and experiencing different local customs.

Sometimes they would pass by the Shen Family, observing the solemn faces of people coming and going at its entrance.

Clearly, due to Ye Feifan’s escape and the death of Shen Juke’s second disciple, the Shen Family has been restless these past few days.

Just that Shen Juke hasn’t been seen making an appearance.

Every now and then, Chu Qing’s gaze would linger on the Shen Family with deep contemplation, piquing Gentle’s curiosity:

"What’s wrong?"

Chu Qing shook his head:

"I just feel there’s something off..."

It’s not that there’s an error in the whole situation.

Ten years ago, the one who wiped out the Chen Family must undoubtedly be Shen Juke.

What felt off was something else, yet at the moment he couldn’t quite pinpoint what exactly?

He occasionally inquired about Shen Juke’s situation, discovering that he hasn’t been out for some time.

However, the news coming from the Shen Family indicated that Shen Juke has been rather unpredictable lately.

Besides scolding and beating servants frequently, he would sit in the backyard all day.

Upon detailed questioning, it turned out that the yard was where Liu San-niang had lived for the past ten years...

Gentle pondered for a moment and asked Chu Qing:

"Would you consider him a love-struck fool?"

"...Perhaps? A pretty terrifying one."

Chu Qing smacked his lips:

"Those he’s infatuated with are quite unlucky."

Chu Qing didn’t let that peculiar feeling trouble him too much.

As long as it’s confirmed that the incident from ten years ago was Shen Juke’s doing, then this renowned hero is on the path to destruction.

Any further side issues were unrelated to his current commission.

As he and Gentle wandered around, they didn’t get anything but stumbled upon a spectacle by chance.

People were dueling in the streets.

Perhaps to celebrate Shen Juke’s birthday, the Martial World figures have recently thronged Brahma Shock City.

Where there are people, there is the Martial World; where there is the Martial World, excitement is inevitable.

Street duels, street vendettas, are fairly common.

But today, the participants weren’t ordinary, making the spectacle even grander.

On a main street in Brahma Shock City, there is a tavern named ’Guest Reception Tower’.

Currently, the two people about to duel stood on the tavern’s rooftop.

Below the tavern, a large crowd gathered, pointing and chatting enthusiastically about the people above.

Only a young waiter with a worried face looked on, somewhat hesitant.

"I heard that young man is ’Piqiu Sword’ Li Hanguang!

"His skills are formidable. As they say: ’Light travels thirty thousand miles, killing intent with this autumn!’"

"This is someone who can match the fame of White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu, and is a rising star chasing down the renowned hero Jinglan."

"The opponent isn’t simple either, ’Qingfeng Sword’ Zong Yang!

"It’s said that with his Twelve Forms of Clear Wind, he’s undefeated since his debut.

"Tales describe his sword as gentle breezes, unstoppable in force. Though his reputation is temporarily inferior to Li Hanguang and Cao Qiupu.

"But among the younger generation, he’s a top-tier expert."

"Younger generation? Don’t joke, alright?

"Speaking of the younger generation, Cao Qiupu and Li Hanguang have to step aside, let alone someone like Zong Yang who doesn’t even come close.

"Currently, the most prominent young talent in the South Ridge is Mad Saber Three Young Master!

"He turned the tide in Luochun Manor, and reportedly, after a battle at Ghost God Gorge, Iron Blood Hall and Blazing Hall both submitted!

"Dare to ask, among the younger generation, who else but him?"

The topic inexplicably shifted to Chu Qing, but Chu Qing paid no mind to the flattering praises and couldn’t help but focus on Li Hanguang on the Guest Reception Tower.

Not for other reasons... but because Cao Qiupu had mentioned that the infamous habit of White Brother, the mischievous horse, of stealing women’s underclothes was due to Li Hanguang!

They had a duel once, and it ended in a draw.

Later, they bonded over drinks and became friends, and White Brother joined them but didn’t drink enough.

Li Hanguang coaxed White Brother to steal women’s underclothes to trade for drinks.

White Brother believed it...

Back then, they fought to a tie.

Yet Cao Qiupu apologized countless times for this, making it a total defeat for Old Cao in this aspect.

Chu Qing was quite intrigued by Li Hanguang back then, but this person was elusive like a divine dragon, and Chu Qing had his own affairs to attend to, so they hadn’t met.

Unexpectedly, this person showed up in Brahma Shock City.

Previously, Ye Feifan mentioned he was on good terms with Shen Juke.

Now it seems, those words weren’t false.

Perhaps due to the noisy crowd below, Li Hanguang, who was drinking from his wine gourd, finally decided he didn’t want to embarrass himself further.

He casually hung the wine gourd on his waist and opened his mouth to speak, but first let out a burp.

Zong Yang smiled:

"Finished drinking?"

"Almost."

Li Hanguang rubbed his nose and slowly climbed up from the rooftop.

He seemed to be under thirty, slightly unkempt, looking rather scruffy.
