Yesterday, Chu Qing just arrived at Luochun Manor, taking on the heavy responsibility given by Wen Fusheng.

He encountered the scene where Xia Wanshuang was being harassed, and Miss Tie intervened to uphold justice.

After following that old beggar and searching all around without finding him, he instead discovered a mountain fissure...

Although at that time, it seemed impossible for anyone to squeeze through, he still struck a palm to see if he could penetrate the wall.

Just then, Hua Meiren wanted to kill Tie Chuming, which caught Chu Qing’s attention, so he temporarily let the wall be.

Following a series of incidents... Chu Qing forgot about this matter.

Unexpectedly, after breaking through the stone wall and observing the surroundings, this place was exactly where the fissure was.

"With one palm from outside, breaking half of it, and another palm from inside... doesn’t it just break open directly?"

"And I was here yesterday, not more than three days ago, Gentle was still able to catch the scent... otherwise, it’s hard to say if we could have seen daylight again."

Chu Qing raised his gaze to the sky, which was just beginning to brighten in the east.

He immediately turned around and shared the news into the cave... In just a moment, Wen Fusheng, Gentle, and others walked out one after another.

The group helped each other, and after about half an hour, everyone was brought up.

Upon seeing daylight again, they were all overwhelmingly excited.

Those who reacted quickly promptly thanked Chu Qing, and the others followed suit.

Wen Fusheng then said:

"Alright everyone, after a tiring night of fighting, now that we’ve escaped a great disaster, why not come back to Luochun Manor with me for a rest?"

Everyone nodded, but suddenly Sun Xiaoxiang spoke up:

"Thanks for the kind offer, Manor Master Wen, but I have something to attend to first. We’ll catch up later."

With that, she leapt away.

Wen Fusheng watched her back, thinking to himself:

"Actually, it’s fine if we don’t catch up."

Being associated with the Ghost Emperor is hard to say if it’s fortune or calamity.

It’s best not to engage if possible.

Chu Qing turned his gaze, softly asking Gentle:

"Can you track the scent to find that big monk?"

"Are we going to break his legs?"

Gentle’s eyes lit up.

Chu Qing nodded.

"Let’s go!"

Gentle pulled on Chu Qing’s sleeve, ready to leave, and Wen Fusheng quickly stopped them:

"Where are you going?"

"It’s something, we’ll be back soon."

Chu Qing hastened to explain.

Wen Fusheng gave him a suspicious glance, having reason to suspect this kid intended to lead the naïve girl astray.

However, despairingly, the naïve girl was also eager to be led astray, as she repeated to Wen Fusheng:

"We’ll be back soon."

"..."

Wen Fusheng was speechless, and before he could say anything, Chu Qing had already led Gentle away into the distance.

"Little scoundrel!"

Wen Fusheng muttered under his breath, but with many people present, both martial experts and disciples of Luochun Manor, he couldn’t just leave them there. So he led them back to Luochun Manor.

Chu Qing, under Gentle’s guidance, flew forward rapidly, sometimes detouring, sometimes mountain climbing, and in a moment, they arrived at a pond.

There sat Sun Xiaoxiang by the waterside, washing her face.

Upon hearing the commotion, she turned around abruptly, her face crisscrossed with scars, and even a part of her chin was cut off, presenting a shocking sight.

She quickly donned a blue scarf, with a slight frown:

"You came so quickly?"

"Senior expected us to come?"

Chu Qing surveyed the surroundings, while Gentle whispered in his ear:

"The monk’s scent is gone..."

"Looking for that old thief?"

Sun Xiaoxiang smiled:

"Don’t bother, you can’t catch up to him. Across the Martial World, even with the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns added, only a handful can match his speed.

"If you do see him, it only means one thing...

"That he wants to see you."

"It seems he’s indeed not a monk. Does Senior know who he is?"

"All the celestial constellations are within his grasp!"

Sun Xiaoxiang casually said: 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"The number one Divine Thief in the world... You Zong!"

"So it’s him..."

Chu Qing’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Someone with such a body technique is indeed no ordinary person.

Along the way, Wen Fusheng kept finding opportunities to bring up last night’s event with Chu Qing. Chu Qing also found the old monk’s timing too coincidental, too abrupt.

And if he’s not a monk, someone like him neither has the need to disguise nor the interest in sneaking into Luochun Manor.

If he had arrived, Luochun Manor would have long known.

But the appearance of ’Not a Monk’ yesterday was too strange... as if he emerged from thin air.

If someone impersonated, it would make sense.

In Celestial Secret Valley, when Sun Xiaoxiang shouted, Chu Qing followed her gaze, and she was looking precisely at ’Not a Monk’ then.

This shows that ’Not a Monk’ was not himself.

Later, when ’Not a Monk’ approached the gathered crowd in the cave, he claimed all thirteen paths to Celestial Secret Valley had collapsed.

Among those who would know such details, Chu Qing only knew the old beggar.

Thus, the entire situation became clear.

The old beggar disguised himself as ’Not a Monk,’ helping Wen Fusheng to stabilize the people’s minds.

Had he revealed himself early, the people might have been stirred, causing disturbances, but in such conditions last night, even if there were doubts, no one had time to expose him.

He led everyone into Celestial Secret Valley, completing his mission.

And this person... is surnamed You.

Thus, the identity is evidently revealed.

Chu Qing asked only to confirm a definite answer.

However, regarding this person, Chu Qing knew another thing...

That day in Divine Blade Hall, the Shepherd Boy who stole the Chaotic God Saber was You Zong’s disciple, and You Zong was captured by this girl’s father, who intended to break his legs.

How did he arrive at Luochun Manor so quickly?
