Chapter 25 Chance Encounter
Hearing what the woman in green dress said, the woman in snow-white clothes finally reacted. She slowly put down the porcelain cup in front of her with her bare hands, revealing a pure and elegant face.

Her eyes were as blue as smoke. She gently raised them and looked at the woman in the green dress and the two people behind her. She said in a light voice:
"You said you were from the Six Gates, so you must know Ji Feiyun, the Jade Face and Thousand Palms."

Hearing this, the woman in the green dress looked at the other person and nodded:
"Captain Ji is one of the ten most famous detectives in the Six Gates Headquarters. We are acquainted with each other. Could it be that the young lady has a past with Captain Ji?"

The woman in white did not answer, but suddenly changed the subject and said:
"I can testify for you, but I have one condition. You have to let Ji Feiyun come here to see me."

The woman in the green dress frowned and shook her head slowly:
"If the young lady is willing to testify, we would be very grateful, but it is such a small matter, there is no need to trouble Captain Ji to come in person."

However, just as she finished speaking, the gloomy young man behind her suddenly shouted:
"Ning'er, be careful!"

In an instant, a sharp mechanical sound was heard, and several black arrows shot out from the young man's wrist.

It transformed into a series of afterimages, passed over the woman in green dress, and pierced into the strand of ice crystals that had appeared in front of her at some point, emitting wisps of cold air.

The sound of metal clashing rang out in the air. Several arrows blocked the ice crystals' momentum, causing them to temporarily stop in mid-air and spin rapidly at high speed.

At this time, the voice of the woman in white came lightly:

"The reaction is not bad, but the martial arts level is too low."

After saying that, she flicked the porcelain cup with her finger, and the tea inside suddenly turned into frost, which swept towards the three of them with a gust of cold wind.

Guo Ning'er, the gloomy young man Zhou Chuan, and the big man all had drastic changes in their expressions:
"Ice Qi, martial arts master!"

The three wanted to retreat immediately, but the cold wind came too fast and enveloped them in an instant.

The bone-chilling cold invaded their bodies, freezing the blood and qi in their meridians, making it impossible for them to move, and they stood stiff and motionless.

For a moment, a layer of white frost visibly grew on the eyebrows and hair of the three people, making them look like human-shaped ice sculptures.

At this time, the previous fight had attracted many guests of the restaurant to come outside, and they were curious about what was happening in the private room.

But the woman in white pretended not to notice. She filled the porcelain cup in her hand with tea and glanced at Zhang He and the other four who were leaning against the wall.

"Who among you can go and call Ji Feiyun over?"

Hearing this, Zhang He swallowed nervously and was about to say that he would go.

The woman in front of him was a martial arts expert, and it was unknown whether she was a friend or an enemy, so he naturally wanted to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, the woman in white suddenly pointed at the man in green and said:

"It's you. Go quickly and come back quickly. I'll give you one stick of incense."

The man in green was slightly startled, glanced at Zhang He, then nodded slightly to him imperceptibly, but said nothing more and left the room directly.

……

At the same time, in the room next to where Zhang He and his group were, Li Musheng was listening with interest to the situation nearby with his ears perked up.

At this time, Cang Yinyue's figure floated in from the window and sat down directly at the table.

She glanced at the wooden wall next door and sneered:
"That woman is very pretentious."

Hearing this, Li Musheng turned around to look at the other person and touched his chin.

Fortunately, the man just now kicked the wooden wall on the other side. If he had kicked his side, he might be the one showing off now.

"Miss Cang, do you know that woman?"

Li Musheng saw that Cang Yinyue seemed to have a bad tone, and immediately looked suspicious.

"Of course I know her. Her father is a divine detective, and her mother is the leader of the Feixue Sect. She's quite influential." Cang Yinyue poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, but didn't continue talking about this matter. Instead, she said:

"I have reported your situation. You will have to stay in one place for the next few days."

"Aurora Pavilion?"

Cang Yinyue nodded and said:

"Now everyone who claims to be the Seventh Prince is inside. The palace feels it's too troublesome to check everyone one by one, so they will conduct a centralized selection of everyone in six days."

Hearing this, Li Musheng spread his hands, indicating that it didn't matter.

Anyway, he didn't care much about this matter. The only thing he cared about was pursuing transcendence in martial arts. He came to Shangyang City just to travel and "see the world".

"However, I went to Aurora Pavilion. How can I contact you in the future?"

"If there is anything, I will come to you directly. If you have something to do, just come to this restaurant and I will naturally come to you then." Cang Yinyue said in a cold voice.

Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is the bad thing about dealing with people from the Secret Service. They have to hide and dodge, just like they are dealing with spies from an underground organization.

Of course, if he really wanted to find the other person, it would not be difficult.

Previously, when Li Musheng observed the scholar performing the formless puppet technique, he was unable to obtain the complete technique.

But relying on his extraordinary comprehension, he was able to comprehend a small martial art in these few days.

At this time, Cang Yinyue had an invisible thread of true energy under his control. As long as the other party was not too far away from him, he could use it to find the other party.

Thinking about it, Li Musheng did not forget to remind him:
"Miss Cang, don't forget the second condition you promised me. Help me find the key to the Great Revelation Treasure. If you do it perfunctorily, it won't count."

Hearing this, Cang Yinyue's eyes twitched and he snorted coldly:
"Your attitude is quite good. Are you still in the mood to think about those illusory things?"

As she spoke, her eyes darkened and she warned solemnly:

"The Aurora Pavilion is guarded day and night by the Tianjin Guards. With your strength, staying there shouldn't be any big problems."

"However, you must remember what I said before. Before your status as a prince is recognized by His Majesty, remember not to reveal your true strength. This may very well bring you disaster."

Li Musheng took a sip of tea and nodded casually:

"Don't worry, I'm sure I know what to do."

Cang Yinyue glanced at him, and without saying anything more, she stood up and said:
"I'll take you to Aurora Pavilion."

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar and suddenly stopped in front of the restaurant.

A group of constables wearing black uniform robes and swords at their waists jumped off their horses and surrounded the entire restaurant in the blink of an eye.

Leading the group was a tall and straight young constable, dressed in black brocade clothes and sitting upright on a tall horse.

His face was well-defined, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his sharp eyes swept around the restaurant in front of him.

The next moment, the whole person jumped up as lightly as if stepping on the wind, and flashed in through an open window like a flying wild goose.

However, when he saw the person in the window, he uttered a sigh:
"Captain Cang, why are you here?"
