The night seemed to be a little cold. The wind was blowing, and a black shadow flashed past and landed in front of a house. Two black shadows walked in and gently closed the door. The street returned to silence.
"Big brother, are you really alright?" Chu Lin took off his face cloth and asked Chu Ji.
Chu Ji waved his hand." Why are you here?"”
"I was worried, so I came." In fact, Chu Lin really had many questions he wanted to ask Chu Ji, but because he respected him, he didn't say anything.
"Don't act rashly next time."
"I know, but what about our mission? Are you really going to betray the Alliance Master?”Chu Lin said with some difficulty.
"I have never belonged to him, so how can I betray him?”Chu Ji frowned slightly. "Is there any news from Yin Heting?"
Chu Lin shook his head." However, I sent a signal. They should be back soon."”
Just as Chu Ji was about to speak, a sound came from outside. It was Chu Yin and Chu Ting.
"You sent out an emergency signal.”Chu Yin asked curiously when she saw the two of them and saw that they were fine.
Chu Lin looked at the anxious duo and said with some difficulty," Big Brother is poisoned…I can't cure it."”
"What?" The other two were shocked.
"You must be the Valley Master of Pure Ice Valley." Chu Yin was a woman after all, so she was more meticulous. She knew that if even Chu Lin could not cure it, then the only thing that could do was poison from Pure Ice Valley.
Chu Lin nodded. At this moment, Chu Ting's eyebrows were also showing a solemn expression.
"How did this happen?" Chu Ting was puzzled." This Valley Master is really that powerful. Even the two of you are no match for her."”
Chu Lin sighed bitterly in his heart." He's not powerful. His eldest brother offered his own neck to be chopped off."”
Chu Yin could tell from Chu Lin and Chu Ji's expressions that things were not as simple as they seemed. She felt a little frustrated, but she still managed to calm herself down." What should we do now?"”
Chu Lin then relayed Nangong Luobing's words to them. After that, the three of them looked solemn.
"How about a month?" Chu Ting couldn't help but suspect that if he asked them to investigate, it must be because Maple Feather Pavilion hadn't found anything. If even Maple Feather Pavilion hadn't found anything, it must have been a difficult matter.
"Ji, what do you think?" Chu Yin's attention was on Chu Ji. Seeing that he had not spoken, she knew that he must have a good plan.
" The person who poisoned them is the sworn enemy of Maple Feather Pavilion. Since they are not from our side, then…"
"Zhang Zhongshou? However, Maple Feather Pavilion should have suspected him, but they didn't find anything.”Chu Lin continued.
"Isn't there still the Iron Mask Man?" Chu Ji pointed out the main point.
The other three suddenly understood.
"We investigated for a long time and found that this iron masked man doesn't seem to be the Alliance Master's man. Now it seems that he should be Zhang Zhongshou's man. This old man really hid himself well. There was such a group of people that we didn't know about.”Chu Ting told her the results of the investigation he had done with Chu Yin.
"The iron masked man might not be Zhang Zhongshou's man.”Chu Ji said slowly.
"Why?" The three of them didn't understand. Zhang Zhongshou was the only one who cooperated with the iron masked man.
"I think so too. Didn't we find out that the Prosperous Fragrance Restaurant isn't Zhang Zhongshou's territory?”Chu Yin voiced her opinion.
Chu Ting also thought of this and wondered where this iron masked man came from.
"Only Ouyang Xiong knows where they came from, but we have to investigate ourselves. Let's not talk about my poisoning first, because we have to investigate the Alliance Master's attitude towards them.”Chu Ji pondered. Ouyang Xiong had been on guard against them recently.
"Is your poison really fine?" Chu Yin asked with concern.
Chu Ji shook her head and waved her hand, letting them go and rest first. She had to think about it carefully.
After the three of them left, Chu Ji's heart could not help but feel a little chaotic. Thinking of his attitude towards Nangong Luo Bing, he no longer looked like an assassin who was in a bloody storm. No, he couldn't let his heart relax. If an assassin had a heart, that would be their biggest weakness. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists even more tightly. The veins on his hands were obvious, and his eyes were filled with determination. One month later, even if his poison was not cured, he would still kill Nangong Luobing.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that his mission wasn't to kill Nangong Luobing alone. Now, he was only bothering her. How could others understand?
Coincidentally, Chu Yin had also thought of this logic. She began to understand that Chu Ji had fallen for Nangong Luobing. She was worried and bitter.
"Yin, what are you thinking about?" Chu Ting saw that she had lost her mind and spoke.
"Ting, Nangong Luo Bing will harm Ji.”Chu Yin said slowly.
"Why?"
Chu Yin shook her head and did not tell Chu Ting. It was as if she did not want others to know about her secret with Chu Ji.
" Yin..." Chu Ting wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Why?" Chu Yin tilted her head and looked at Chu Ting.
In an instant, Chu Ting's thoughts seemed to have returned to the first time he met Chu Yin. At that time, she had also tilted her head like this and said with a smile that her name was Chu Yin, sharing the same surname as him. Perhaps, from that moment on, her shadow had been branded in his heart. But now, that Chu Yin seemed to have changed. Her actions were the same. Her eyes were filled with smiles before, but now, they were filled with coldness.
"Ting." Chu Yin nudged Chu Ting's elbow.
"Um." Chu Ting returned to his senses and looked at Chu Yin.
"You…"
Chu Ting shook his head and flew away, leaving endless questions for Chu Yin.
The next day, the four of them gathered together and waited for Chu Ji to give the order.
"Big brother, what should we do?" Chu Lin asked impatiently. God knew that he was going crazy because he could not cure the poison in Chu Ji's body.
Chu Ji didn't speak, as if he was thinking. The other three stared at him intently.
"Yin, you go to Yingxiang Restaurant."
"What?" Chu Lin and Chu Ting were both shocked, but Chu Yin's expression did not change. However, there was still a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"Big Brother, let her go there." Chu Ting was very excited, and his tone was filled with disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ji looked at them with a sharp gaze.
" Big Brother, if Yin goes there, wouldn't her lips be tasted by tens of thousands of people and her arms be tasted by tens of thousands of people…" Chu Ting felt a little regretful after he said that. He looked at Chu Yin apologetically, his eyes filled with regret.
"Yin, I'm sorry."
"I'll go." Chu Yin said.
"You can't." Chu Ting hurriedly stopped her.
"Ting, you've been a little impatient recently.”Chu Ji's voice came slowly. It sounded normal, but it made the few of them feel a little apprehensive. They knew that he was angry.
"Big brother, I understand." Chu Ting didn't dare to say anymore.
" Yin, try your best to find out what's up with the Splendid Fragrance Brothel. Ting, continue to investigate the Iron Mask Man. Lin, you and I will follow the Alliance Master. The Martial Arts Circle Convention is in a month's time. We should have something to do.”After saying that, Chu Ji left without looking back.
The other three looked at Chu Ji leaving and were in a bad mood. Chu Lin looked at the anxious Chu Ting and patted his shoulder. He looked at the calm Chu Yin and slowly spoke.
" Yin, you might not be able to…" The word 'receive guests' was stuck in her mouth, and she could not bring herself to say it.
"I understand. I'll go first." Chu Yin didn't change much. She seemed to have given up and left without looking at them.
