Chu Ge slightly nodded, he already knew these things, but what he didn’t understand was why suddenly all these Sects had set their sights on that secret manual and Earth Ganoderma.
Speaking of Earth Ganoderma, it could be understood, since to Ancient Martial Artists, it was a rare and valuable item, but as for the secret manual...
To be honest, if it hadn’t been for meeting Master Guangde, who told him that the secret manual and the wooden fish must be used together to be effective, he would have never guessed its function.
No wonder Mu Qing had studied it for so long without figuring out what exactly it was.
It even brought major disaster because of the secret manual.
While Chu Ge was pondering this, he heard Honda Sakura continue: "Recently some new Sects have risen, and the growth trend of these Sects is very impressive. Some old Sects could not stand it anymore, and they united with the intention of eliminating these newly emerged Sects."
Chu Ge was somewhat confused, what did these matters have to do with competing for the Earth Ganoderma and the secret manual?
Honda Sakura seemed to see through the doubts in Chu Ge’s heart, she shifted uneasily, and in a coquettish tone said: "Mr. Chu, could you loosen my bindings a bit? It’s really quite uncomfortable being tied up ."
Chu Ge looked at her speechlessly, then coughed lightly and said, "I don’t know who spread the word that this secret manual, the Heart Sutra, is a victory-bringing treasure. Whoever possesses it will gain supreme martial arts, so everyone is rushing to snatch it, as for the Earth Ganoderma..."
Honda Sakura paused and then with alluring eyes slightly teased Chu Ge, "I think I don’t need to explain too much, Mr. Chu should understand the wonderful uses of the Earth Ganoderma."
Chu Ge slightly nodded, gently rubbing his fingers, seemingly deep in thought.
Honda Sakura looked at him, a bit adamant as she asked: "Mr. Chu, I have already told you everything you wanted to know, shouldn’t you also fulfill your promise to let me go?"
A faint smile hung on Chu Ge’s face, but his pupils were already filled with a chilly air, "When did I say I would let you go?"
"What?" Honda Sakura widened her eyes in shock looking at Chu Ge, "You can’t be thinking of going back on your word?"
Chu Ge slightly shook his head, "I never promised to let you go, my exact words were to consider it, and now my consideration concludes that I won’t let you go, where does regret come into play?"
Honda Sakura frowned, she had been outwitted by a young man who was only twenty years old.
"What do you want then!" Honda Sakura lost her amused demeanor and glared at Chu Ge, her gaze almost tearing him apart.
Chu Ge scoffed disdainfully, slowly stood up, not answering Honda Sakura, but elegantly turned around and snapped his fingers. The True Qi that bound Honda Sakura shot into her body like a sharp sword.
A painful scream from Honda Sakura filled the air, but by this time, Chu Ge had already left the private villa, and her screams grew fainter behind him...
Chu Ge stepped out of the private villa, by now the sky had completely darkened, he lifted his eyes to the colorful neon lights around, although not as bustling as Shanghai, it was still lively and noisy.
Chu Ge aimlessly walked along the main street, realizing that although he had been in Su City for many days, he had never walked so peacefully on the main road across the street.
After walking for a while, Chu Ge suddenly sensed several sneaky people following him, he glanced sideways with peripheral vision, noticing a few very young men, judging by their looks and attire, clearly ones who mingled in society.
Chu Ge didn’t take them seriously, continuing his stroll as if they didn’t exist.
He was browsing in Su City for local specialties, planning to buy a gift for Mu Bingtong when he returned.
Chu Ge walked for a while and finished roaming the entire street, but to his disappointment, he could not find a single store suitable for buying gifts.
Having no choice, Chu Ge took out his phone, ready to call Tang Xin for some advice.
Before he could dial Tang Xin, a call from Jian Chunqiu came in.
Chu Ge guessed that Jian Chunqiu must have found out something.
He answered the call and asked, "Uncle Jian, have you found something?"
Chu Ge’s tone was assertive, and upon hearing it, Jian Chunqiu knew that this guy must have heard some rumors.
"Did you already know?" he asked.
Chu Ge nodded slightly, "I know roughly, but I’m not sure which Sect it involves."
Jian Chunqiu said, "It’s just some minor disputes between small Sects, it’s unrelated to us."
Chu Ge was speechless; it wasn’t related to them. The status of Sword Pavilion in the world of martial arts was incomparable to any small Sects, even the Tang Sect of Su City could not hold a candle to it.
Of course, Chu Ge did not voice this thought, because once he did, Jian Chunqiu would certainly become boastful.
"There’s a newly rising Sect, the Huayue Sect; its growth has been rapid. In just a few days, they have already gathered thousands of disciples, comparable to a major Sect. Such rapid development naturally provokes jealousy, and some smaller Sects are starting to gang up against the Huayue Sect."
Chu Ge listened and slightly nodded; this was somewhat similar to what he heard from Honda Sakura, except the name of the Sect was more specific.
However, Chu Ge felt that this matter was not so simple; he always thought there must be some undisclosed secrets involved.
At this moment, Chu Ge had no clues.
After Jian Chunqiu finished sharing the information he had uncovered, he couldn’t resist teasing, "Young man, you’re not getting any younger; you should start thinking about your lifelong affair. Once you’ve experienced the company of a woman, you’ll understand the profound wonders, it’s truly indescribable."
Chu Ge looked up at the night sky speechlessly. The night was dense, not a single star was visible, and even the moon was obscured by a haze.
He softly sighed, "Uncle Jian, are you interested in Master Guangde’s wooden fish?"
His comment momentarily silenced Jian Chunqiu, who coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "I know you’re focused on Ancient Martial Arts, that’s a good thing. Your master will be very pleased once he knows, proud, indeed, very proud."
Finishing his words, he chuckled, "So... are you really planning to give me the wooden fish that was gifted to you by Master Guangde?"
Although the wooden fish was no longer of much use to him, he had once visited Master Guangde’s residence several times hoping to obtain this very item, but had been turned away by Master Guangde each time.
If he could obtain a wooden fish frequently used by Master Guangde, it would indeed fulfill a long-held wish.
