Chapter 133: Notify
After hesitating for a long ti, Jiang Kuai finally made up his mind to go and take a look.
He flew up the mountain and ca to a small valley. After that, he tapped twice on the stone wall covered with moss.
A rumbling sound was heard and a hole appeared in the stone wall.
Jiang Kuai leaned in and soon was inside a stone chamber of about twenty square ters.
Jiang Kuai had a total of 12 such chambers, hiding the things he had stolen over the years. So were priceless antiques, so were exquisitely exotic and mighty equipnt. So of these were stolen by him because he wanted to exchange it for money, and so were simply because he liked it.
With peerless Light-body Technique, he acted without any scruples, stealing whatever and whenever he wanted. Jiang Kuai liked to steal from wealthy people on purpose.
He surveyed the secret chamber. It did not look like soone had touched anything. He turned abruptly and saw that no one had followed him.
In the center of the stone chamber was a purple wooden cabinet that looked much like the drug cabinet of a dicine shop with many small drawers. He opened a small drawer in the center and his facial expression changed suddenly.
This drawer that was supposed to contain the Longevity Grass was now empty!
Jiang Kuai stared with widened eyes incredulously and opened the rest of the drawers in a hurry. The jewelry was all there, but there was no Longevity Grass in any of the drawers!
Of course, he would never forget about the Longevity Grass. He rembered clearly, it was supposed to be in the central drawer!
Jiang Kuai glanced around. There were no traces of anyone being here before. Surely it cannot be that the Longevity Grass grew legs and ran away?
He felt absurd. Suddenly, Jiang Kuai found that there was a row of small words at the bottom of the drawer. He quickly channeled his inner energy to his eyes. “The Longevity Grass has been taken away, don’t worry, Chu.”
Jiang Kuai’s face turned pale.
To think that he had always believed that his Light-body Technique was the world’s best, not knowing that there were stronger people among the crowd. This Chu Li’s Light-body Technique was far better than his!
Even more chilling was that nobody knew of this secret chamber except for himself. How did Chu Li find out?
Could it be that he had always been at his side and Jiang Kuai just did not realize it?
Thinking of this, he shouted loudly, “Chu Li, co out!”
His voice thundered in the stone chamber.
“Sneaky! Behaving like a vile person!” Jiang Kuai shouted.
After a long while, there was still no movent.
Jiang Kuai inferred that since Chu Li took the Longevity Grass, he must have gone back to the Public House eagerly to receive his reward as the Longevity Grass was equivalent to sixty years of life.
At that ti, Jiang Kuai had a sudden impulse when he saw Ferric Demon Ridge fight with a bunch of people so he joined in on the fun and snatched the item. When he saw the item, he imdiately regretted it. His hands were too unlucky, it had caused him big trouble!
This was the Yi Public House’s Longevity Grass. Of course, Jiang Kuai knew Second Lady Xiao Shi, the most beautiful woman in the Great Ji. He also knew that Xiao Shi’s health was poor. When he saw this Longevity Grass, Jiang Kuai imdiately understood that it was for her.
If Jiang Kuai had eaten the Longevity Grass, the Yi Public House would definitely go crazy. Even the entire Great Ji would have gone crazy. He would not be able to escape no matter how powerful he was. Therefore, Jiang Kuai resisted the temptation and put away the Longevity Grass.
“Humph!” Jiang Kuai threw a jade bowl onto the floor and it broke into pieces. He was very unhappy.
The situation where the Longevity Grass was returned by himself or it was snatched away was completely different. This was his exit strategy, and now it was ruined by Chu Li!
Fear sprouted in his heart towards Chu Li. Jiang Kuai rembered Chu Li’s last words and his facial expression changed. He quickly flew out of the secret chamber.
The most important thing now was to go sowhere far away. The Yi Public House could find him, so the Ren Public House may not be unable to find him. Ren Public House was slightly more influential than the Yi Public House and thus, they were more difficult to deal with.
Jiang Kuai was like a gust of wind as he flew into a small residence in the town and landed inside the courtyard.
It was already late at night and the house was quiet. He heard the soft breathing in the bedroom and sighed softly. He slowly pushed open the door and went in.
“Husband?” a soft voice sounded from the bed.
“Su Yuting, it’s okay. Just sleep,” Jiang Kuai said softly.
He took off his outer robe and climbed onto the bed. In the darkness, a soft and delicate body with a tint of fragrance hugged him. “Husband, why did you co back so late?”
“I drank a little more than usual.” Jiang Kuai patted her on the shoulder and sighed lightly. “Su Yuting, let’s move tomorrow.”
“Mm,” Su Yuting replied softly.
Jiang Kuai listened to her soft answer, she did not ask him why and this made him feel increasingly guilty.
He knew that Su Yuting liked the quiet and a peaceful life. She hated the days when they had to wander from place to place, she hated fighting and killing, hiding and running, but it just so happened that he couldn’t make her wish co true. As a man, Jiang Kuai was really ashad!
Listening to her gentle breathing, Jiang Kuai whispered, “Let’s go to the mountains and live there!”
“Mm,” Su Yuting replied softly, “as long as I can be together with my husband, it does not matter where.”
“Hai...” Jiang Kuai felt even more ashad.
Su Yuting laid in his arms and said softly, “Husband doesn’t have to worry, I am fine.”
“Soone ca to recruit today.” Jiang Kuai sighed and said, “It’s the Yi Public House. They want to work for them.”
Su Yuting was stunned montarily. “Why does the Yi Public House want to recruit husband?”
“They have their eyes on my Light-body Technique,” Jiang Kuai said.
“Once you join an influential house, you will get into deep water. Forget it,” said Su Yuting.
“If I join the Yi Public House, you can stay in the Public House so you don’t need to be scared and worried all the ti. You can live peacefully and safely,” replied Jiang Kuai.
“It is also very dangerous to work for the Public House,” Su Yuting said. “You can’t disobey their orders, and if you really offended soone, you might die at any ti!”
Jiang Kuai shook his head and said, “My Light-body Technique is superb, they will not let die.”
“I know husband is used to being free and can’t stand to be restrained,” Su Yuting said softly. “Don’t put yourself through this because of !”
The more she spoke, the guiltier Jiang Kuai felt.
“Bon! Bon!” suddenly, the sound of soone knocking on the door outside could be heard.
Jiang Kuai was alard, he hugged Su Yuting and flew up. “Who is it?”
“Brother Jiang Kuai, it’s ,” Chu Li’s voice sounded from outside. “I’m here to tell you that your whereabouts have been exposed and that the Ren Public House is on its way here. It is best to leave now.”
Jiang Kuai released the breath that he was holding and said grimly, “Please wait for a mont!”
He walked out of the bedroom wearing his undergarnt, opened the door and saw Chu Li standing quietly at the door. The water-like moonlight shone onto his face.
Jiang Kuai scoffed, “How did you know?”
Chu Li smiled. “The informants of the Public House were resourceful. If you don’t go now, you won’t be able to get away anymore!”
“They can’t stop !” Jiang Kuai scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. “I saw them bringing along a few big nets. Most likely to catch you with it.”
Jiang Kuai’s expression changed slightly.
Chu Li said, “Nobody is invincible in this world. They found a way to restrain your Light-body Technique.”
Jiang Kuai scoffed, “What is your aim?”
“Just helping you make up your mind.” Chu Li smiled. He smiled and nodded to the fully dressed beauty who approached them. “This must be your wife? She is without a doubt a beauty!”
Su Yuting was indeed beautiful. She was tall with slender legs, small waist, and big breasts. With her graceful appearance, her beauty was on par with Chen Ying and the girls but of course, not as beautiful as Xiao Qi and Xue Ling. She could be considered a rare beauty too.
Jiang Kuai frowned at him.
“Let’s leave first. If you do not believe , we can observe from a distance,” said Chu Li.
“Fine!” Jiang Kuai said.
He wrapped his arm around Su Yuting and flew up. They landed on a roof not far away, lying on the red tile overlooking the surroundings. Soon, they saw the appearance of eight people in black clothing who ca from four directions. They were approaching his residence.
There were two people in each group, holding a roll of silver fishing net in their hands. It was glinting cold lights under the moonlight. It was apparently a specially made fishing net.
