Chapter 1126: 1126

Chu Li frowned and scoffed as he said, “You’re too smart for your own good . What’s wrong with my young master?”

 He had come up with a countermeasure to deal with such a situation when he had been sitting in the restaurant . Since Lu Guangdi had shown up to intercept and call him out, he would use his disguise to confuse Lu Guangdi and make it harder for the guy to distinguish truth from falsehood .

 Lu Guangdi frowned and repeated, “Young master?”

 Chu Li laughed coldly . “Don’t tell me you’re hoping to find out my young master’s identity as well?”

 “What identity?” Lu Guangdi asked with a huff .

 A scornful look appeared on Chu Li’s face as he scoffed arrogantly and asked, “Do you think you’re qualified to know such things?”

 “There’s nothing to be proud of when you’re sneaking around and being so secretive about your affairs!” Lu Guangdi retorted coldly .

 Chu Li burst out laughing . “Young fellow, you think too highly of your own abilities! … Let me give you some advice . Stop stirring up trouble for Tide-listening Pavilion . Just behave yourself and pretend not to know anything, or you’ll end up bringing disgrace upon yourself and losing your life!”

 “In that case, I’d like to find out who exactly you are!” Lu Guangdi scoffed and replied indignantly, “You sound very arrogant!”

 He secretly felt surprised and wondered how this man had managed to find out that he was from Tide-listening Pavilion . Soon after, it occurred to him that perhaps Zhuo Feiyang had told this man about him, so he realized that he had been worrying over nothing .

 “Forget it . I suppose you won’t be convinced until you come face to face with death!” Chu Li shook his head and said coolly, “Take this!”

 Chu Li appeared in front of Lu Guangdi in a flash and patted his shoulder once .

 Lu Guangdi quickly moved backward in shock and became filled with fear as he had been taken off guard by Chu Li’s body movement technique . Chu Li had come at him unexpectedly, so he was unable to avoid getting hit .

 Chu Li trailed after him closely like a shadow . While Lu Guangdi had been quick to retreat, Chu Li moved even faster and patted his shoulder again .

 Lu Guangdi’s back was covered with sweat . Fortunately, Chu Li had only patted him lightly both times . If Chu Li had been using palm energy, Lu Guangdi might not have been able to withstand those two attacks .

 More importantly, his opponent clearly seemed like someone who did not know any martial arts but had used such an incredibly fast body movement technique .

 “You’re just relying on your body movement technique . ” Lu Guangdi scoffed .

 The corner of Chu Li’s lips lifted into a smirk as he clapped his hand down on Lu Guangdi’s shoulder once more .

 Lu Guangdi moved at a ghostly speed in an attempt to avoid Chu Li’s attack, but his efforts were in vain . His stature became shorter, and he was forced to stop in his tracks as he felt a mountainous force pressing down on his left shoulder as though it would keep him trapped in this spot forever .

 He desperately channeled his inner energy to his legs as his knees were already bending and trembling under the weight of this mountainous force . He was going to fall on his knees at any moment but was indignantly trying to straighten his legs and was exerting his utmost strength to stop himself from collapsing to the ground . As a result, it appeared like he was doing a martial-art squat .

 Chu Li chuckled . “You’re quite a strong-willed fellow . ”

 He pressed down on Lu Guangdi’s shoulder even more .

 “Bang!” Lu Guangdi collapsed head-first to the ground in a pathetic and helpless manner .

 Chu Li gazed down at him with a condescending look and asked coolly, “How dare you be so boastful when you have such weak skills?”

 “You…” As Lu Guangdi anxiously climbed back to his feet, his handsome face looked so red that it seemed as if blood would ooze from his pores . His eyes burned with resentment as he glared at Chu Li hatefully .

 Chu Li curled his lip in contempt and said, “You’re just a lowly Tide-listening Pavilion disciple with such ordinary martial arts skills . If you still insist on being a busybody, I’ll kill you right away, I may even wipe out Tide-listening Pavilion!”

 “You’re awfully boastful too!” Lu Guangdi muttered coldly .

 Chu Li gave him a sidelong glance . “You don’t believe me? Would you like to see me destroy Tide-listening Pavilion then?”

 “You…” Lu Guangdi gritted his teeth but did not continue to speak .

 He had been astonished by Chu Li’s martial arts skills and figured that while Tide-listening Pavilion was capable of warding off Chu Li, they might not necessarily be able to defend themselves if Chu Li brought along a few more martial arts masters to attack them .

 Chu Li waved a hand . “Now, get lost . Stop meddling in the affairs of others!”

 “You think Zhuo Feiyang can keep fooling everyone else?” Lu Guangdi asked with a scoff . “Is he capable of deceiving Miss Lu?”

 Chu Li gave a scornful laugh . “Who said he’s trying to deceive anyone? Do you really think Lu Yurong isn’t aware of this? … You’re just a self-proclaimed genius who sees everyone else as fools while thinking that you’re the most intelligent person in the room . Get out of here!”

 Lu Guangdi asked, “Miss Lu knows? … That’s impossible!”

 Chu Li replied, “If you insist on telling her and making it impossible for her to turn a blind eye to this matter, then don’t blame me for being discourteous . Do you think I don’t know where Tide-listening Pavilion is located?”

 A mocking smile appeared on Lu Guangdi’s lips . “Do you really know the location of Tide-listening Pavilion?”

 Tide-listening Pavilion’s whereabouts was a huge secret that had always been unknown to outsiders .

 Chu Li replied calmly, “Glory Town!”

 Lu Guangdi’s expression changed at once .

 Chu Li scoffed and said, “Are you willing to behave now? Get lost!”

 Lu Guangdi glared at him with a dark expression and did not say a word .

 Chu Li slowly walked to his side and then proceeded to stride forward so that he would run into Lu Guangdi .

 However, Lu Guangdi turned his body and made way for Chu Li to slowly stroll away .

 Chu Li had walked over twenty meters away from him when Lu Guangdi anxiously turned around and asked loudly, “How did you find out about that?”

 Chu Li scoffed and did not bother turning around . Instead, he waved a hand and took another step forward before vanishing from the alleyway .

 Lu Guangdi felt a chill creeping over him .

 The whereabouts of Tide-listening Pavilion was a highly well-kept secret that was only known to Tide-listening Pavilion disciples, so it should be impossible for outsiders to know their location . Furthermore, only one Tide-listening Pavilion disciple from every generation was allowed to move around in the martial arts world, so aside from him, none of his fellow disciples could have left Tide-listening Pavilion .

 In that case, how was it possible for others to find out Tide-listening Pavilion’s location?

 Lu Guangdi could not help becoming more anxious to know Zhuo Feiyang’s true identity as he never expected this so-called young master to be so resourceful and influential!

 If someone really happened to launch an attack on Tide-listening Pavilion, he would be a great sinner . It was precisely to prevent such a thing from happening that Tide-listening Pavilion had decided to live in seclusion in the first place .

 It seemed like he had underestimated the capabilities of others . Lu Guangdi realized that he could not actually rule the world by relying only on his special skill . His mind-reading ability was ineffective against this guy, nor did it work on Zhuo Feiyang!

 He remained rooted to his spot and had a look of uncertainty on his face . Should he be firm and sort Zhuo Feiyang out or pretend not to know anything?

 After a long while, Lu Guangdi still could not make up his mind . Thus, he began regretting his impulsive decision to confront them so soon . Indeed, he had been too rash and had underestimated his enemy . As a result, he allowed himself to fall into a defensive position because he had looked down upon Zhuo Feiyang . If he had carried on observing his enemy in secret, he would not have ended up in this situation .

 When Chu Li returned to the Imperial Residence, he saw Zhe Liang standing at the bottom of the stairs outside the entrance .

 Upon noticing Chu Li, Zhe Liang quickly went forward and gave a fist salute . “Head Chief Chu . ”

 Chu Li smiled at him . “What brings you here?”

 “I’ve come to report some updates on that case,” Zhe Liang replied .

 Chu Li waved a hand and chuckled . “I’m no longer working for the Secret Guardians Hall, so you don’t really have to report anything to me . Anyway, how’s the investigation going? Did you manage to get a confession?”

 “… No,” Zhe Liang replied with an awkward smile .

 Chu Li was surprised . “You couldn’t get a confession? Could it be that I’ve made a mistake?”

 “You weren’t wrong, Head Chief,” Zhe Liang replied and shook his head while sighing . “The guy has committed suicide . ”

 Chu Li broke into laughter . “All disciples of the Holy Church of Light have been taught to do that . Didn’t you guys take any precautionary measures?”

 “We were careless,” Zhe Liang replied with a sigh . “The commander was furious, but there was nothing we could do about it . It’s impossible to bring a dead man back to life . That’s why we haven’t been able to find out why the Holy Church of Light has decided to wipe out Minister Li’s entire family . ”

 “… Hmm . ” Chu Li slowly nodded and made no comment on the matter .

 Zhe Liang sighed shamefully and said, “We’ve been too incompetent!”

 Chu Li waved a hand and replied, “The disciples of the Holy Church of Light are indeed quite difficult to deal with . There’s nothing much you can do about this since he’s already dead anyway . You guys can focus the investigation on Minister Li instead and find out why they have targeted him specifically, even going to the extent of killing his whole family . ”

 “The commander has already closed the case,” Zhe Liang said .

 Chu Li was stunned for a moment but then smiled and replied, “Might as well . You guys can avoid more trouble that way . ”

 He could not call Gu Yu a muddle-headed person since Gu Yu was merely making a decision according to the circumstances . When people were driven by their self-interest, it would be a normal thing for them to bend their principles and do foolish things for personal gain . Gu Yu did not want to let this case drag on, so he decided to solve the problem in a direct and forceful way . After all, what Gu Yu wanted the most was to close the investigation, and he was not at all concerned about finding out the truth behind this case .

 “However, we’re faced with a tricky situation,” Zhe Liang said hesitantly .

 Chu Li studied him with a frown .

 Zhe Liang explained, “The Ning Brothers have gone missing . ”
