As dawn arrived, Zhuge Tian walked out from his house and stretched out his arms . He closed his eyes and took a deep breath . As he basked in the sunlight, he commented, "Such nice weather!"
Qiao San waved his hands and ordered two servants to remove the dead female body out from the room . He smiled and said, "Young Lord, the news about Chu Li having the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual has spread throughout the entire Fairy's Capital . I received news last night that there were around ten Grandmasters who intruded the An Imperial Residence . "
Zhuge Tian nodded without paying much attention . He then calmly said, "I've barely moved a finger for this problem . No matter, he will have more to handle in the future . We shall then see if he can survive that or not!"
Qiao San nodded in agreement . "My Young Lord, you are much more clever than other people . I really admire you!"
Zhuge Tian stared at him with a raised eyebrow .
Qiao San immediately stopped his praise as he knew his words had failed to please him .
Zhuge Tian then sat on his rocking chair and rocked it softly with his weight . He said softly, "Then?"
"What then?" Qiao San was confused .
Zhuge Tian looked up at the blue sky filled with clouds as he enjoyed the weather . "Ten Grandmasters entered the An Imperial Residence, and then that's it?"
Qiao San hesitated for a moment, and replied helplessly, "They are all dead . "
"What--?" Zhuge Tian turned and looked at him in surprise .
Qiao San quickly continued, "They were all killed by Chu Li!"
"Oh? Looks like he really does have some skills . " Zhuge Tian laughed .
"Yes, his martial arts is extremely skillful, I never thought he had such ability!" Qiao San shook his head and sighed .
Zhuge Tian chuckled and said, "So what if he is highly skilled! He can kill ten of them, but can he deal with twenty? Those that went first are weaklings . Real Grandmasters will not act that quickly . "
"Yes, yes, the Young Lord is really wise," Qiao San said .
Zhuge Tian asked, "Are you scared?"
Qiao San smiled reluctantly . "Yes, I am a coward . I never guessed that Chu Li was so strong . If he finds out we were the one who spread those rumors, will he come after us?"
"So what? Can he deal with us, the Crouching Bull Mountain?! … Besides, how can he find out it was us? Such cowardness!" Zhuge Tian replied with disdain .
Qiao San smiled awkwardly . "Yes, he will never find out!"
Zhuge Tian sighed . "Relax alright . He has enough to deal with right now and won't even have the time to think about other things!"
"But his actions might have just sent a message to the rest . The others will not have the guts to act recklessly," Qiao San replied .
"Chu Li will dig himself into an even worse situation if he continues to do so! The strength he demonstrated only proves that the Slashing Cloud Treasure Manual is a strong manual . It will only increase the hype, thus, who can hold themselves back against such desire? Imprudent!" Zhuge Tian laughed .
"The Young Lord is so clever!" Qiao San praised him again .
A female servant walked towards them slowly . "Young Lord, Chief Qiao, there is a person with a letter at the base of the mountain . "
"Who is the receiver?" Qiao San looked at her seriously .
The servant replied, "It is for you, Young Lord, but he says he needs to pass it to you face to face . "
"Who is the deliverer?" Qiao San was suspicious as he looked at Zhuge Tian .

Zhuge Tian chuckled . "Only I can receive this? Interesting!"
Zhuge Tian had only left the mountain twice and met Mei Aoshuang . He had never talked to anyone else other than her . At most he only had a slight conversation with the rest to know what was happening in the world, but never deeper than that .
Zhuge Tian was even more curious about the letter that was being delivered to him .
The servant added, "That guy insisted on passing the letter directly to you, Young Lord . He says you will understand once you read the letter . "
"Interesting . Qiao San you can go and take a look," Zhuge Tian ordered .
"Yes," Qiao San replied .
Qiao San did not use the shortcut . Instead, he went down the mountain through the forest . The trees were so tall that they blocked the sunlight . He looked tiny as he traveled past those trees .
As he arrived at the base of the mountain, Qiao San saw a skinny, normal-looking boy standing there . He held his waist while he scanned around .
He was holding onto a grey horse . His hair and horse were covered with dust . The boy looked spiritless as if he was fed up with the world at such a young age .
Qiao San raised his eyebrows and landed in front of the teenager .
The skinny boy was shocked by him and immediately gave him a fist salute .
Qiao San asked, "Who are you?"
"I am He Erwa . I came with an order from a fairy to deliver a letter to mister Zhuge . I need to pass the letter directly to him," the boy replied .
"A fairy? How did she look like?" Qiao San was confused .
He Erwa answered, "She looked like she came out from a beautiful drawing . No one dares to look at her for more than a moment . I only looked at her once and the fairy mentioned that mister Zhuge will know who she is once he read the letter . Her surname is Mei . Fairy Mei . "

"Mei? Where is the letter?" Qiao San was surprised and extended his hand .
He Erwa held it to his chest and shook his head . "I need to pass to mister Zhuge myself!"
"You ridiculous boy, the Young Lord is not someone you can meet just because you want to!" Qiao San snarled .
"I don't care . I promised the fairy to pass this letter directly to mister Zhuge! I will not surrender the letter until I meet him!" He Erwa cried out .
"You know I can kill you right!" Qiao San lifted his palm .
He Erwa yelled, "You can try and kill me, but I will never pass you the letter!"
"Hah, so stubborn! Fine then, I will let you live because of Fairy Mei . Let's go then!" Qiao San smiled .
He knew that He Erwa did not possess any martial skills . He grabbed his collar and flew up towards a tree branch .
He Erwa was so scared he closed his eyes immediately .
Qiao San released some inner energy to test He Erwa . He discovered that He Erwa did not have any inner energy, but his meridians were wide and strong . He was naturally talented in the martial arts!
Qiao San was surprised and took a quick look at him . He was shocked that someone as skinny as him could hold such potential . If he was trained properly he could become a master!
He starting thinking and suddenly decided to kill him .
This guy needed to die . If this young man became strong, how is he supposed to stay alive?
If he was allowed to train in the mountain, he would become a Grandmaster soon enough . He would then have to bow to another person . People such as He Erwa had to die; the less there were, the more freedom he would gain!

Just as Qiao San made up his mind to kill him, his face became friendly . He then made a smile and asked, "Where did you meet Fairy Mei?"
He Erwa tried his best to open his eyes . His hair was being blown all over the place by the wind . He then yelled, "I met her in the Metal Bull Ridge!"
"Was she alone?"
"She was with two other fairies . "
"What else did she say?"
"She only asked me to pass this letter to mister Zhuge and stay at the mountain . "
"Hehe… You can never stay on the mountain . How about I give you one hundred dollars as a reward?" Qiao San was more determined to kill him now .
"One hundred dollars?" He Erwa looked at him .
Qiao San nodded with a smile . "Are you satisfied?"
"Do you really mean it?" He Erwa asked .
Qiao San replied, "I will never lie to you . I will give it to you now, but you cannot mention to mister Zhuge about staying in the mountain later . "
He took out some cash from his sleeve and passed it to him .
He Erwa held it tightly as he was afraid that the wind might blow the cash away .
He stared at that cash and nodded . "Is this really for me?"
"Yes, it is yours now!" Qiao San said with a smile .
