Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

It is wrong, both morally and logically, to manage other people's affairs in this way.

But when Chu Hong thought of Cui Yu's expression yesterday, he couldn't help but want to do something for her.

Chu Hong sighed. It seemed that Cui Yu's grudge was real, and he was indeed a good person.

But Chu Hong still spoke up, ready to confirm something.

"Patriarch Cui, in your understanding, would Cui Yu, in order to seek revenge, fabricate rumors and frame his enemy?"

Chu Hong asked very directly.

So bluntly, even the head of the Cui family's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this.

He didn't understand why Chu Hong asked such a question, but after pondering for a few moments, he shook his head decisively.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"He is upright and has a clear sense of right and wrong. He would never use insidious means to frame others, even if they are his enemies."

"After his sister's tragic death, Cui Yu devoted himself to studying day and night, vowing to take revenge himself, which is clear evidence of this."

Chu Hong understood.

It seems that Cui Yu truly had no intention of using his own power to avenge him.

But upon further reflection, Chu Hong chuckled awkwardly.

Cui Yu was unaware of his own strength and background, so why would he think of using him to avenge him?

In conclusion, I realized I had overcomplicated things regarding Cui Yu.

Then, Chu Hong asked about the missing persons case and the Seven Star Palace disciple case, but after thinking for a while, the Cui family head shook his head.

"The disappearance happened too long ago, and we have only heard rumors about it, so we shouldn't take them seriously."

"As for your junior brother's matter, we are also unaware of it, but someone saw that the Second Master took some people out once half a month ago. We don't know if it's related to them."

The implication is that one might find something at the Sword Manor.

Chu Hong and his two companions thanked the Cui family and then left the Cui residence.

On the main road, Qingqing suppressed the fire in her heart and said coldly:

"All clues point to Sword Manor. Let's hurry and set off. I'll make that second master pay for his crimes in blood!"

Xiao Yi patted Qingqing's arm to calm her restless emotions, then turned to look at Chu Hong, waiting for his decision.

Chu Hong took a deep breath and nodded.

"Let's go to Sword Manor and find out what's going on!"

-----------------

Sword Manor.

Manor Lord Su Changchuan sat in the main seat, his face solemn, and solemnly instructed:

"Your spies report that the Seven Star Palace is investigating the death of one of its disciples. You should keep a low profile to avoid being exposed."

The second master of the manor, Su Changli, leaned back in his chair, his chest and breasts exposed, his thick chest hair resembling that of a black bear.

Hearing his elder brother's advice, he waved his hand dismissively:

"Brother, you can rest assured. I'm very careful in my actions. Those young punks will never find out."

Despite his seemingly carefree and irresponsible demeanor, Su Changli has never made any major mistakes in any of the things he has handled over the years.

This is why Su Changchuan was willing to entrust such a matter to Su Changli.

Even so, he couldn't help but continue:

"How about this, you should avoid them for the next few days to avoid any unpleasantness."

"Hmm... It just so happens that a high-ranking member of the Holy Church is coming tonight. You should accompany him for a few days and not show your face."

Su Changli felt that Su Changchuan was being too cautious, but considering that it was all for the sake of the manor, he nodded reluctantly.

Thinking of that important person's arrival, Su Changli subconsciously licked his lips:

"Brother, since I'm going to keep you company, how should we have fun? We shouldn't be restricted, right?"

Su Changchuan frowned; he knew perfectly well what Su Changli was planning to do.

However, for the sake of peace of mind, after a moment's hesitation, he finally relented:

"Yes, but you should be careful."

Su Changli laughed loudly as he stood up and strode out: "From today onwards, my courtyard is a forbidden area of ​​the manor, and no one is allowed to approach it."

"Would they really risk public outrage by forcing their way in?"

Su Changchuan watched the departing figure and shook his head helplessly.

His attention quickly returned to the Seven Star Palace; he knew that this group would definitely come to the Sword Manor.

He needs to make some preparations for it.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to summon his subordinates and ordered the entire manor to be on high alert and prepare to deal with the Seven Star Palace disciples who were about to arrive.

-----------------

At this moment, horses' hooves flew across the official road.

Chu Hong and his two companions were riding towards the Sword Manor.

As the sun set and its afterglow bathed the earth, we arrived at a town below the mountain villa.

"Senior Brother Xiao, Qingqing, let's rest in town tonight," Chu Hong suggested, reining in his horse. "We'll visit the Precious Sword Manor tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xiao Yi nodded. "It's good to take a rest."

"I have no objection!" Qingqing pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.

Since there were no objections, the three of them found an inn to rest and recuperate.

Far behind, the woman in yellow who had followed them finally confirmed Chu Hong's destination.

At this moment, her brows were full of exhaustion.

These past few days, Chu Hong has been running around, which has really worn her out.

She followed Chu Hong for several days, not only having to constantly track his movements but also having to avoid being noticed by him.

She couldn't find an opportunity to get close to Chu Hong, which made her want to quit.

But whenever she thought about how this was a task assigned by the church and how there would be a generous reward upon completion, she had to swallow her bitterness.

Fortunately, the time to get close to Chu Hong finally came.

"Sword Manor..."

The woman in yellow suddenly remembered that someone had told her that the Sword Manor seemed to be related to the Holy Church.

A brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

"That's the right approach; it'll definitely get us close and gain our trust!"

This time, she glanced at the inn where the three of them were staying, but instead of following them, she turned her horse around and headed towards the Sword Manor.

The plan is ingenious, but it requires the cooperation of the resort.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Fei and Yang Qi, disguised and following her from further behind, witnessed the entire scene.

"I have to say, this woman has quite a bit of perseverance." Li Fei smiled faintly.

Yang Qi nodded and said:

"Indeed, I am quite curious about her plans."

"We'll see it tomorrow, won't we? Come on, Qi-ge, we need to get some rest too. We're going to see a good show tomorrow."

Silent all night.

The next morning, the first rays of dawn broke through the sky.

After having a local breakfast, Chu Hong and his two companions packed their belongings and rode off towards the Sword Manor, which was several miles away.

The closer they got to the villa, the more restless Qingqing became, and even her breathing was not as steady as usual.

Seeing this, Chu Hong quickly spoke up and gave instructions:

"Qingqing, calm down, we're here on important business!"

He knew that it must be Cui Xiaomei's tragic death that Qingqing couldn't let go of.

The Cui family's handling of the matter is one thing, but the Second Master, who caused someone's death, is still resented by Qingqing, who wants to tear him to pieces.

Xiao Yi echoed softly, "Senior sister, once we've finished our business and have something on them, we can do whatever we want with them."

"But before that, we must remain calm."

Qingqing also understands this principle.

She remained silent for a long time, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fire in her heart, and regained her composure.

"Don't worry, I have strong self-control and I would never act impulsively."

Chu Hong and Xiao Yi didn't say anything more. They could clearly sense that beneath the calm surface, there were still turbulent emotions surging like waves, ready to explode at the slightest carelessness.

Half an hour later, the Sword Manor came into view.
