Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Behind Zhao Zi, accompanied by several composed guards, a group of people walked out and bumped right into Chen You, who was standing outside the door leading a duck.

"Hey, it's you, kid?" Zhao Zi raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What, you happen to be patrolling around here?"

Zhao Zi had a pretty good impression of Chen You.

After all, she still vividly remembered the amazing fish soup from yesterday.

In her mind, a man whose culinary skills are that superb must also have a good character and moral integrity.

After all, men who can cook are usually pretty good.

As they were talking, Zhao Zi's gaze fell on the rope in Chen You's hand. Looking at the duck king that was holding its head high, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This is interesting. I've only ever seen people walking dogs and cats before. This is the first time I've ever seen someone walking a duck."

Chen You's attention was not on her joke at this moment.

His gaze swept subtly over the guards behind Zhao Zi, secretly wondering if the deeply hidden flying knife master Yang Shuqing might be disguised and lurking among these people.

"Greetings, Miss." Chen You composed herself and respectfully bowed.

"No need for formalities. My name is Zhao Zi, from the Zhao family of Canglan City." Zhao Zi waved her hand, introducing herself quite generously, then winked and said, "Your cooking yesterday was truly excellent. I'll personally buy a treasure fish later, and you can cook a pot for me too. Hmm... only for me, no sharing with Senior Sister Haitang, how about that?"

Chen You was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Of course, that's no problem, but..."

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?" Zhao Zi was quick-witted and could tell at a glance that Chen You was hesitant and seemed to have something to hide.

"Just tell me what's on your mind," Zhao Zi said.

Chen You glanced at the guards behind her, each with a different expression, and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss Zhao, may I have a word with you in private?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Zi's eyes as she sized up Chen You, but she didn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay."

After saying that, she turned and walked to a quiet corner.

At the same time, Chen You also gathered information.

[Information 1: Zhao Zi, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Canglan City, once studied martial arts with Luo Haitang in the same sect, and they were junior and senior sisters.]

Zhao Zi came here to investigate the Black Shark Gang! This group murdered members of the Zhao family using cruel methods.

[He didn't know that the man she was with, named Hu Han, was actually Yang Shuqing, the knife-throwing expert in disguise!!]

Saw it!!

Chen You didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Miss Zhao, is there someone with you named Hu Han?"

"Hu Han? He's one of my loyal followers, what's wrong?"

"This person is suspicious; I saw him acting suspiciously earlier..."

Chen You casually made up an excuse.

"How is this possible?"

Just then, an old man approached and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Bai, this man is my senior sister's subordinate. He said Hu Han is problematic."

"Is there a problem?" Old Bai frowned. "What problem? Kid, Hu Han has followed me for many years, shedding blood and sweat for the Zhao family. Do you perhaps have some kind of conflict with him and are deliberately saying this?"

"Where are the others?" Chen You asked.

Zhao Zi called over a group of people at the door and asked, "Where are the Hu and Han people?"

It turned out that Hu Han was not among this group of people.

Chen You frowned immediately; this had alerted the enemy.

One of the subordinates bowed and said, "Miss, Hu Han went out this morning, saying he was going to buy some hay for the horses. He'll be back soon."

Zhao Zi nodded and said to Chen You, "Did you hear that? Just wait. If he really has a problem, I'll take him down immediately! But if there's nothing wrong, you'll have to give my men an explanation."

"Of course, but I hope everyone stays within my sight to prevent anyone from tipping him off," Chen You said coldly.

"Damn it, who do you think you are, daring to order us around?" one of the guards cursed.

He and Hu Han had a good relationship, and in his mind, Hu Han would never have any problems! This person must be deliberately causing trouble.

Another guard said, "Hmph, it's one thing for you to suspect Brother Hu Han, but to suspect us as well is simply outrageous."

Chen You hadn't expected that Yang Shuqing was so popular, with so many people speaking up for him.

At this moment, Old Bai said, "Young man, the young lady has other matters to attend to and cannot wait here. How about this, I will leave two people here, and you can wait here."

"No!! Finding him wasn't easy, I can't take the risk and you'll alert him!" Chen You shook his head and stopped Zhao Zi.

Zhao Zi frowned, about to speak, when the guards who had previously protected Hu Han suddenly stepped forward.

"I, Ma Feng, have been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. Now you dare to block my young lady's way. I'll teach you a lesson."

He threw a punch, but Chen You only kicked him, and the young man named Ma Feng was sent flying backward.

The guards' expressions changed drastically.

"court death!!!"

In an instant, Chen You was surrounded by this group of people.

Old Bai said coldly, "Boy, I wouldn't have bothered with you out of respect for Instructor Luo, but you've gone too far!"

"Do you know that it was easy for you to let Yang Shuqing go? If he leaves, it won't be so easy to find him again next time," Chen You argued.

"Damn it, I think we should beat him up!!" Ma Feng roared.

"alright!"

Just as tensions were about to rise, Zhao Zi spoke up: "We're all on the same side, what's all the fuss about?! Get out of here!"

"But, Miss, he..."

Before Ma Feng could say anything more, Zhao Zi stopped him, saying, "Shut up!"

Ma Feng quickly shut his mouth.

Zhao Zi looked at Chen You again: "Alright, I'll wait here. Come inside!"

After saying that, Zhao Zi turned her head and walked inside.

Thank you.

Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the courtyard, the group waited quietly in the spacious yard.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the quiet courtyard, approaching from afar.

Sitting to the side, Ma Feng's eyes lit up. He recognized the footsteps all too well. He immediately snorted coldly and glared defiantly at Chen You: "Brother Hu Han is back. Chen, you'd better wait until you're exposed!"

Chen You shrugged, appearing relaxed, but his muscles were secretly tense as he warily guarded the doorway.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked in through the courtyard gate.

This man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and had an honest and simple face. Anyone who saw him would think he was an honest and upright person.

"Miss, Elder Bai, brothers, why are you all staring at me like that?" Hu Hangang noticed the strange atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.

All eyes were on him, and everyone was a little confused.

Then, his gaze shifted to the unfamiliar face standing to the side, and he asked curiously, "Who is this...?"

Zhao Zi crossed her arms and said bluntly, "Hu Han, this man is Chen You, a subordinate of my Senior Sister Haitang. His accusation against you is questionable; his identity is suspect!"

"what?"

Hu Han was taken aback, scratched his head innocently, and chuckled, "But I've never seen this gentleman before. Brother, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Seeing Hu Han's calm expression, Ma Feng immediately became smug and fanned the flames, saying, "Brother Hu Han, in my opinion, this guy surnamed Chen is probably deliberately picking a fight. Think carefully, have you offended him somewhere before?"

"Hmm, it seems so..." Hu Han nodded honestly, seemingly trying hard to remember.

However, the instant before he finished speaking, with an honest smile still on his kind face, his right hand moved like lightning!

Draw your sword!

"Whoosh!"

His nickname is "The Knife Thrower," and one of his most distinctive features is his incredibly fast knife!

At that moment, only a blinding, cold light remained in the air.

Ma Feng and the other two guards, who were closest to Hu Han, didn't even have time to react; they only felt a chill in their chests.

The next moment, large gushes of blood gushed out from the hideous wounds on their chests like a fountain!

"Ah!" Ma Feng screamed, clutching his chest and staggering backward, his eyes filled with disbelief.
