Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1032: Jianghu Identity
In a quiet alley.

Hong Jiu and the masked man fought back and forth. Seeing that Hong Jiu's attacks were becoming more and more fierce, the masked man also let go and after a few rounds, he seemed to have the upper hand.

Taking advantage of Hong Jiu's unpreparedness, the masked man grabbed Hong Jiu's shoulder like an eagle's claw. With a "hiss", Hong Jiu's sleeve was torn to his wrist, revealing his white and strong arm.

The masked man stared at Hong Jiu's exposed arm with a puzzled look:

"Is the lady really not Hongjiu from Mingye Pavilion?"

Hong Jiu glanced at the tattered sleeves, his face filled with anger:

"It's your grandma, looking for death!"

After he finished speaking, Hong Jiu raised his hand and pulled off the sleeve around his wrist. Then he drew out the soft sword from his waist and flew forward, attacking twice as fast as before.

The masked man saw Hong Jiu's killing move, and after resisting for two rounds, he took advantage of the force of Hong Jiu's kick and flew backwards and quickly climbed onto the roof:
"I'm sorry, your name is similar to Hongjiu's, and your skills are equally extraordinary. I recognized the wrong person. If we meet again some other time, I will compensate you with some clothes."

After saying this, he didn't stay any longer. His body was like a civet cat, and he disappeared into the night after a few rises and falls.

After the people had completely walked away, Ling Wu appeared from a distance, took off his coat and handed it to Hong Jiu:

"Have you ever been injured?"

Hong Jiu shook his head with a dark face, and said viciously while putting on his clothes:
"Once I find out who he is, I will strip him naked and throw him into the elephant house!"

Ling Wu couldn't help but shiver: How cruel.

"Young Master Feng has already found out that it is the White-robed Smiling Buddha from the Wanyuan Sect."

"Fuck that smiling Buddha, I'll make him a crying ghost sooner or later!"

Under Ling Wu's secret escort, Hong Jiu returned to the Lin Mansion. Yulan came back from the night shift and happened to see Hong Jiu, who looked gloomy, walking back to his room in big strides. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart:
It's so late, where did she come from? She seems to be wearing men's clothes...
-
Prince Xiang's Mansion.

After taking a bath, Chu Chengyi, wearing a middle-length robe and looking thoughtful, walked out from behind the screen, took the tea brought by Guo Hao, sat down and drank it slowly:

"Go and put away my nightgown."

Guo Hao followed the order and folded the nightgown neatly behind the screen, then opened the secret compartment in the wardrobe and put it inside.

"Master, just let me handle tonight's matter. Why do you need to test it yourself?"

"Although few people know my identity in the martial arts world, the spies of Tianji Sect are unpredictable, and I'm afraid they have discovered my identity. The reason why I did it myself is, first, to test Hong Jiu, and second, I also want to see if the people behind Hong Jiu know my identity."

"I followed your instructions and waited for you halfway back home, but I didn't see anyone following you. Perhaps no one in Kyoto knows your identity?"

Chu Chengyi put down the empty cup:

"I hope so. Kyoto is not like the underworld. In order to prevent the palace from being suspected by His Majesty, we dare not cultivate spies in Kyoto. If they are discovered by His Majesty's spies, it will be a loss."

Guo Hao continued to serve tea and asked about the results of the test on Hong Jiu.

When this was mentioned, Chu Chengyi was puzzled:
"According to the information I found, the female killer named Hongjiu from Mingye Pavilion looks, is older, and has similar skills to Hong Jiu. I always thought it was Hong Jiu, but she doesn't have any scars on her body, so the information may not be true."

"Since Hong Jiu's information is wrong, what about Miss Lin and Boss An?"

Chu Chengyi leaned back in his chair, tapping the handle with his fingers in a disorderly manner:

"I don't know. Not only the two of them, but also Feng Xiaoran. Every time I sensed that something was wrong with them, the news I checked and what happened proved that I was overthinking. But... it was too coincidental, so coincidental that it seemed as if they were deliberately trying to dispel my guess..."
