Chapter 678


When the lanterns were lit, Leng Shoushi's and Leng Shoushan's feast started .

The six guests were all seated as well .

The six people all looked different, some were handsome while others looked normal . They had different personalities as well, but all held similar positions . All of them were young and able, they were not hedonistic sons who relied on their families .

Leng Shoushan acted warmly toward them . He claimed that any friend of his fifth brother was a friend of his . If there were any difficulties in the future, there was no need to be polite, he would help in whatever way he could .  

The six of them were all cordial to him . They talked about Leng Shoujiang's past as they all sobbed and sighed relentlessly . The heavens were jealous of such a splendid talent as nice people never lived long . It made one feel truly helpless .  

They also felt anger toward Leng Shoujiang's murderer, but were helpless . The Fairy's Capital magistrates and the Secret Guardians Hall were looking into it, but there were no leads as of yet . They obviously could not catch the person .

Leng Shoushan had a few jars of wine and was drinking to his heart's content . Under his encouragement, everyone else also started drinking . The more the wine, the more the words exchanged, until the point that there was an endless flow of conversation .

Leng Shoushi, on the other hand, was quick to leave . He had a stiff personality and was a silent figure . The air around him was solemn, making it hard for one to relax near him .

Once he left, the atmosphere around the table instantly relaxed . Alongside Ji Xue Ling's occasional smiles, as well as her moving beauty, everyone got livelier .

Leng Shoushan occasionally answered and asked questions about his fifth brother .

Ji Xue Ling herself drank 2 cups of wine before apologizing with a slight smile . She gently left the house to freshen up .

When she returned, she handed Leng Shoushan a note that was folded into a small square .

When nobody was paying attention, Leng Shoushan opened it in his sleeve and took a glance at it . He then quickly returned it into his sleeve before continuing to drink with the group . Suddenly, he asked out of the blue, "Does anyone know who Zhu Wu is?"

Everyone was startled, they shook their head in confusion .

"Sigh…" Leng Shoushan shook his head . "I heard that this person is an enemy of my fifth brother . I am not sure if it is true though, I just wonder if he is the one who killed him . "

"Who is Zhu Wu?" The crowd was still confused .

Leng Shoushan sighed . "Nevermind, let's not talk about him, it sours the mood . Come, let's drink . "

Not long after, he got drunk .

Everyone watched him lie down and they tactfully left . In a short while, the crowd quickly dissipated .


Leng Shoushan waited for them to leave before he turned over and sat up . He channeled for a few cycles before looking toward Chu Li who was walking in with a sharp gaze .

Leng Shoushi was heading toward him too . Both of them looked straight at Chu Li .

"How was it, Head Chief?" Asked Leng Shoushi .

Leng Shoushan stared at Chu Li full of tension .

"I get the gist of it now . Allow me two days, I am going to catch that person and hand him to you myself, Imperial Crown Prince Shi!" Chu Li nodded .

"You found a clue?" Leng Shoushan quickly asked .

"We are quite lucky, maybe it is the blessing of Imperial Crown Prince Jiang . I shall make my move now . Do whatever the two of you Imperial Crown Princes have to . " Chu Li smiled .

"Understood . " Both of them nodded .

Chu Li made a closed fist salute and left .

After waiting for Chu Li to leave their sight, they sat down together at the table again .  

"Head Chief Chu didn't do anything, right? How did he know who the murderer is?" Leng Shoushan was a little bit skeptical . "He's not trying to make me feel better, right?"

"Doesn't seems like it . " Replied Leng Shoushi .

Leng Shoushan sighed . "But this is too weird . "

"Chu Li is very capable, even our father looks up to him . He definitely uses some strange methods, or he wouldn't have gained such fame . " Smiled Leng Shoushi . "Let's just see how it goes . It was a hopeless situation, so if he had actually found anything, it would be a miracle . "

"Sigh… I hope that we can catch the murderer!" Leng Shoushan shook his head . "If we still fail to catch him, our father will probably go crazy . I don't even dare to talk to him now, his gaze looks like it can kill . He looks like he wants to slap me to death every time I say something wrong . "

"Uncle Kang was someone who killed without a second thought too . However, by the time he reached this age, he stopped killing . " Leng Shoushi continued to say, "If anyone thinks that Uncle Kang is old, they are completely wrong!"

"Our fifth brother's fate is truly unfortunate," sighed Leng Shoushan . "To pass so suddenly, this is…"

"We have to be careful too!" Leng Shoushi replied, "You better increase your number of Protectors . Don't be careless, our fifth brother might still be alive now if he paid more attention to the situation around him!"

"Mm, I have five more Protectors now," smiled Leng Shoushan . "However, the safest place is still the Verdant Cloud Brothel, but we can't stay there forever . "

"Stay if you want," said Leng Shoushi, "as long as you are not afraid of Prince Bao breaking your legs!"

His brother just died, if he did not grieve about it but instead spent his time having fun in the Verdant Cloud Brothel, Uncle Kang would unleash holy fire on Leng Shoushan if he heard about it .

"I can't handle anymore tonight, I need some rest . " Sighed Leng Shoushan .

"I will ask someone to clean up a room," replied Leng Shoushi, "Send someone to tell the residence about it in advance . "

"Ninth brother treats me the best!" Smiled Leng Shoushan as he made a closed first salute .

 ——

In the second morning, Leng Shoushan only awoke when it was almost lunchtime .

He slowly ate his lunch and chatted with Ji Xue Ling for a bit . It was already close to sunset by the time he went to the martial arts field to cultivate his martial arts with Leng Shoushi .

When the two of them wanted to finish their cultivations, a Protector suddenly walked toward them and lowered his voice, "Imperial Crown Prince, Head Chief Chu is here again with a carriage, he asked to let the carriage in too . "

Leng Shoushan and Leng Shoushi looked at each other and their expression changed .

Leng Shoushan showed a face of excitement .

Leng Shoushi replied, "Let's not go out, just get the people to let him pass!"

"Right, right . " Leng Shoushan quickly came to his senses .

Leng Shoushi gave the Protector the order .

A short while later, Chu Li slowly entered the martial arts field on a normal and unassuming carriage . He hopped off the carriage and made a closed-fist salute .

"Head Chief Chu, the person in this carriage…?" Began Leng Shoushi .

Chu Li replied, "It is the murderer who assassinated Imperial Crown Prince Jiang . "

"Is he really my fifth brother's murderer!?" Asked Leng Shoushan hastily .

Chu Li smiled . "I will hand the person over to Imperial Crown Prince Shan . As for how he is tried, I'm sure Imperial Crown Prince Shi will be able to figure it out . I shall not interfere, so just pretend that I was never involved in the case .

"Understood!" said Leng Shoushi, "I shall find someone to thoroughly try him . "

Chu Li let out a sigh . "Imperial Crown Princes, from what I see, it's best to stop the investigation here . It's enough that the culprit is found, there is no need to dig any deeper . "

The two of them furrowed their eyebrows and stared at him . Finally, they slowly nodded .

They understood what Chu Li meant . There was a powerful figure behind the incident . They could not risk angering this person, even if they were Imperial Crown Princes .

However, they were getting more and more curious .

Chu Li made a closed-fist salute . "I shall return first, I won't be accompanying the two Imperial Crown Princes . "

"Spend the night here, take a good rest," said Leng Shoushi, "or head to Miss Yu Qing's, or Ji Xue Ling's, you can take your pick . "

Chu Li shook his head and smiled . "I appreciate Imperial Crown Prince Shi's kind intentions, but I must return . "

"Let Head Chief Chu return . " Said Leng Shoushan, "The Head Chief must be worried for King An's Imperial Residence . "

Chu Li smiled . "That's right . "

"Alright then, come again in a few days . " Replied Leng Shoushi, "We shall exact revenge for my fifth brother first . "

Chu Li nodded and gave a closed-fist salute as he left .

Leng Shoushan hurriedly opened the door of the carriage and saw a short and skinny young man lying inside . His eyes were shut tight and he was not moving, as if he was in a deep sleep .

They knew that his acupuncture points were sealed . If the seal was released, he would wake up .

"I shall call someone over first . " Leng Shoushi sighed . "We shall question Zhu Wu thoroughly .  

Leng Shoushan stared daggers at Zhu Wu . He wanted to plunge a blade into him, but he resisted the urge . He wanted to find out who was pulling the strings and instructing Zhu Wu . Depending on the person's identity, he would decide whether or not to expose him, exacting thorough revenge for his fifth brother .
