Chapter 91

Xu Anxia examined the silver bracelet, noticing several engravings inside. Using his inner strength, he could see that the engravings were small characters reading "Chongming City Jing'an Fang Chen Residence" in eight small characters.

If not examined closely, one might mistake them for decorative patterns.

Xu Anxia looked at the unconscious Chen Siyu and then at Yue'er.

Yue'er whispered, "Protector Xu, please bring Young Master over as soon as possible!"

"Alright!" Xu Anxia nodded solemnly and looked at Hu Hai and Zheng Gongming, "Protector Zheng, Hall Master Hu, I will set off now!"

Hu Hai said, "Xiao Xu, you need to disguise yourself."

"Understood!" Xu Anxia replied solemnly.

He strode out of the bedroom, returned to his residence, and messed up his hair, changing into a tattered gray outfit, contrary to his usual cleanliness.

He smeared a layer of ash on his face, making it hard to recognize him. He secretly left his residence, went to the city's livestock market to buy a fine horse, and galloped for a whole day, entering Chongming City in the evening.

He found a residence according to the address, stood outside, and observed it. The residence was old and ordinary, clearly belonging to a middle-class family.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety and fatigue, and knocked on the door ring. Soon, an old man peeked out, looking at him with confusion.

"Old sir, is this the Chen residence?"

"Yes." The old man sized him up.

"I'm looking for Young Master Chen Li. This is the token." Xu Anxia handed over a silver bracelet.

The old man took the bracelet and closed the door, "Alright, sir, please wait a moment."

Time passed slowly, bit by bit.

Xu Anxia stomped his feet anxiously, seeing the lanterns around him light up, the street enveloped in light, but there was still no movement inside, making him doubt if the leader had made a mistake.

He felt like each day was a year, but the main gate remained closed, as if he had been forgotten.

He stomped his feet, pacing back and forth. The situation at the leader's side was critical. Using a method to stimulate potential to wake the leader would worsen the leader's injuries, and they couldn't save him!

If he delayed any longer, he might not see the leader one last time!

He wanted to barge into the Chen residence, grab the young master by the collar, and drag him back to the Jingyun Gang, but a bit of rationality remained, and he held back.

"Creak." The small door opened, and the old man came out, handing Xu Anxia a pair of silver bracelets, "My young master is already informed. Sir, you can go back now."

He turned to close the door.

Xu Anxia hurriedly said, "Old sir, wait!"

The old man turned to look at him. Xu Anxia looked at the pair of silver bracelets in his hand and frowned, "Where is Young Master Chen?"

"Oh, my young master has already left."

"Left?!" Xu Anxia asked hurriedly, "Where did he go?"

"Wherever you think my young master went, he went there." The old man smiled, "Alright, young man, go back."

Xu Anxia frowned at him, and the old man waved his hand and turned to close the small door.

Xu Anxia looked down at the two silver bracelets, noticing they were a pair. He quickly took out the other one he had brought, tapping his forehead, realizing he hadn't noticed that the original pair of silver bracelets were not a pair!

His heart still hung, unsure if the young master had indeed gone to the Jingyun Gang.

But since he had found the right person, he could only return and couldn't rush in.

Thinking of this, he turned and left the Chen residence, leaped over the city wall, found his horse, and galloped back.

Jingyun Gang, Yunzhou City

The bedroom in Xu's residence was brightly lit, with a cold atmosphere.

Under the light, several copper basins on the ground were filled with ice, making the bedroom feel like an ice cellar.

Despite the cold, Zheng Gongming and Hu Hai were drenched in sweat, their faces pale.

Zheng Gongming stood beside the bed, while Hu Hai sat on the bed, his hands pressing against Chen Siyu's back, steam rising from his head, and sweat pouring down his forehead. Chen Siyu lay motionless, unconscious.

Her face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and her breath was scorching.

Yue'er twisted a silk handkerchief, her hands showing blue veins, her heart burning with anxiety as she stared at Chen Siyu. If this continued, Miss Chen would surely be burned!

"Old Zheng, how is it?" Hu Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking disheveled, and asked in a low voice.

Zheng Gongming stood still, steam rising from his head, his long robe drenched in sweat.

Hu Hai grimaced, feeling helpless.

The palm technique was too powerful; they had tried all kinds of elixirs and medicines, but none worked. They could only watch helplessly as the leader slipped into the abyss of death.

"Hall Master Hu..." Yue'er turned her head, looking at Hu Hai with a plea.

Hu Hai shook his head bitterly and sighed.

Yue'er bit her lower lip, her eyes red.

A shadow flashed, and Chu Li appeared beside the bed.

Yue'er's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Young Master!"

Chu Li nodded at her and smiled at Hu Hai, reaching out to grab Chen Siyu's burning wrist.

His brows immediately furrowed.

Hu Hai, not surprised by his silent appearance, hurriedly asked, "Young Master, is there still hope?"

Chu Li released her wrist, "Let's try!"

"Old Zheng!" Hu Hai called out.

Zheng Gongming opened his eyes, weakly nodded, and released his palms, moving away from the bed to make room.

"Protector Zheng, thank you for your hard work," Chu Li said.

Yue'er supported Chen Siyu, and Chu Li sat behind her, pressing his palms against her back, channeling a thread of inner strength. He then split it into two, one thread countering the scorching heat inside Chen Siyu, and the other following the method of the Taiyin Decree.

The Taiyin Decree was extremely cold, and Chu Li's inner strength flowed quickly. In a blink, the heat inside her body cooled down, and as time passed, the inner strength cultivated by the Taiyin Decree became even colder, gradually reducing the heat.

After an hour, Chu Li stopped, opening his eyes.

Yue'er and the others stared wide-eyed at Chen Siyu's restored pale face.

Chen Siyu's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, seeing Chu Li and smiling.

Chu Li smiled, "Sister, I'm here."

Chen Siyu smiled but said nothing.

Hu Hai praised, "Young Master is truly remarkable. Old Zheng and I used all our strength, but it was useless. Young Master came, and the problem was solved immediately. I can't help but admire you!"

Chu Li smiled, "Without Hall Master Hu and Protector Zheng's efforts, I wouldn't have had the time."

He sighed and shook his head, "Such a vicious palm technique, it seems you've provoked a formidable opponent."

"Shameful, we couldn't find out who it was," Hu Hai shook his head, "His movements were incredibly fast, and he knocked out two protectors in a blink, injuring the leader!"

Zheng Gongming, who had completed his breathing exercises, still looked pale and weak, sighed, "He looked ordinary, and I can't recall who he is."

Chu Li said, "He will come again if he wants to kill Sister."

"Young Master, please stay longer," Hu Hai said, "We can't be at ease until this person is dealt with!"

Chu Li glanced at Chen Siyu, who was looking at him with bright eyes, and smiled, "Alright, I'll stay a few more days."

Yue'er excitedly said, "Young Master, I'll go clean your room!"

Chu Li smiled and thanked her.

Yue'er first placed a pillow under Chen Siyu, helping her sit up, then excitedly left, her joy evident.

Chu Li said, "First, we need to investigate internally... this assassin found Sister so quickly, there must be an insider."

"Hmph, I'll find this guy!" Hu Hai gritted his teeth.

Chen Siyu shook her head, "We can't make a big fuss. The gang has just stabilized, and we don't want to cause unrest."

As a woman, it wasn't easy for her to gain the trust of the gang, and her martial arts were not strong. She needed to demonstrate superior skills, which would take time to be recognized. For now, the gang was initially stable.
