Chapter 670: Another Act Unfolds

After obtaining the mask, Ying Wanli and Bai Lie tried it out and were very satisfied.

He was perceptive enough not to linger, and after bidding farewell to Su Rongrong, the three women, and Jin Banhua, he hurriedly left.

Song Tiane served the roast chicken and beef, looking puzzled. "Why did they leave so quickly?"

"Isn't it better that they're gone? With two fewer mouths to feed, I can eat more!" Jin Banhua laughed.

"Are you not afraid of eating too much? You won't be able to get your jade beauty if you die from overeating!" Song Tiane asked, finding her own joke amusing and giggling.

Jin Banhua helped Song Tiane set the dishes and, while enjoying a piece of beef, said, "We're planning to head south to Jiangnan. Do you want to come along?"

Su Rongrong shook her head. "No, we just came back from the Great Desert and the Divine Water Palace. We need some rest."

"Jiangnan is a place we've visited many times. With this boat, we can reach Songjiang Prefecture very quickly," Song Tiane boasted. "Last year, we went to Jiangnan this way and even tasted Zuo Qinghou's personally made fish soup."

Jin Banhua asked, "Why aren't you going this year?"

Li Hongxue sighed, "Because Brother Chu went to Jiangnan first to find the jade beauty."

Jin Banhua didn't feel the least bit embarrassed and even spoke up for them. "He left you all at home just to find the jade beauty? That's outrageous! Why don't you—"

Song Tiane stuffed a chicken wing into Jin Banhua's mouth. "You should just eat the chicken wing!"

Jin Banhua, while munching on the chicken wing, said, "The chicken wing is the tenderest part. You're so kind to me. I thought you were going to give me the chicken's butt."

Song Tiane laughed so hard she nearly fell over. "I wanted to give you the chicken's butt, but I removed it when I brought the dish to the table."

Su Rongrong watched this scene with amusement and then looked at the somewhat displeased Hua Zhenzhen. "What's your name, miss?"

Hua Zhenzhen evaded the question. "I'm just his servant."

"Miss, you're joking. An ordinary servant wouldn't catch Jin's eye, and Hong and Qu also respect you highly. How can you be an ordinary servant?"

Seeing Hua Zhenzhen's expression soften, Su Rongrong continued, "Jin brought you along, and you came here with us. That means he considers you one of us, and you are also our friend."

Hua Zhenzhen stared at Su Rongrong, her eyes softening. "I'm Hua Zhenzhen, a disciple of Huashan."

Su Rongrong's eyes lit up. "Is it for the Thirteen Clear Wind Techniques?"

"You know?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.

"The Thirteen Clear Wind Techniques are a Huashan secret, never shared outside. If it were known that Jin could use them, it would naturally attract Huashan disciples," Su Rongrong explained.

Hua Zhenzhen nodded and then shook her head. "But the Thirteen Clear Wind Techniques were stolen long ago, and many in the martial world already know them."

"Really?" Su Rongrong was surprised.

"Hua is right. The Thirteen Clear Wind Techniques were stolen, and in the past year, two people have used them to kill," Li Hongxue said. "And these two people are quite well-known."

"Who are they?" Su Rongrong asked.

"Chasing Wind Sword Luo Xiao and Soft Cloud Wind Sword Meng Zicheng," Li Hongxue said, looking at Hua Zhenzhen and continuing in a serious tone, "But they both died not long ago."

"I didn't kill them. They were already dead before I found them," Hua Zhenzhen said.

Song Tiane and the others were stunned. "Who

Hua Zhenzhen said, "Meng Zicheng’s wife told me that he bought it from a Golden Grotto on the Sea."

"Golden Grotto on the Sea?" Li Hongxue was at a loss. "While there are many factions at sea, such as the Purple Whale Gang, the Sand Sea Gang, the Heavenly Righteous Army, the Hundred Islands Alliance, and the pirates and bandits roaming the seas, I’ve never heard of a Golden Grotto on the Sea."

Hua Zhenzhen glanced at Jin Banhua. "Besides him, the Thirteen Forms of Pure Wind were also sold from this Golden Grotto. When I left the capital, I already informed Huashan, and disciples will be sent to Jiangnan to investigate this lead."

Qu WuRong asked curiously, "You went to investigate those two people, and they ended up dead. This suggests there’s a traitor in Huashan. Are you really going to send more disciples to Jiangnan to investigate this Golden Grotto?"

Hua Zhenzhen smiled and nodded. "Exactly. The traitor can communicate with the masterminds behind the Golden Grotto and eliminate Luo Xiao and Meng Zicheng before I can. But do you think they can destroy the entire Golden Grotto on the Sea?"

Su Rongrong’s eyes lit up. "Now that they know Hua Zhenzhen has traced the lead to the Golden Grotto, the traitor will likely come personally out of fear, and they might slip up."

Hua Zhenzhen nodded and laughed. "Precisely. My goal in finding the Golden Grotto Golden Grot Golden G3 Golden33 Golden Forms9 Golden Grotto is always been to find the traitor and retrieve the Thirteen Forms of Pure Wind. If I can capture the traitor first, the outcome will be the same."

Jin Banhua looked at Hua Zhenzhen. "When did you inform Huashan? I didn’t know about it."

Hua Zhenzhen huffed. "Why should I tell you when I informed Huashan?"

"Now that you’re my attendant, how can you still be loyal to your family?" Jin Banhua put her hands on her hips and threatened, "Do you still want the Fourteenth Form of Pure Wind?"

"You!" Hua Zhenzhen’s chest heaved with anger, then she exhaled a deep breath. "Huashan has business in the capital. I informed them when I went out to buy supplies."

."

Jin Banhua nodded, understanding. "Another act to investigate the traitor in Huashan. This trip to Jiangnan will certainly be eventful."

Su Rongrong and the other women exchanged glances, then looked curiously at Yi Dianhong and Qu WuRong.

Qu WuRong whispered, "Brother Jin is truly talented, creating new techniques."

Su Rongrong and Li Hongxue were immediately enlightened. When they left the Divine Water Palace, Jin Banhua had mentioned teaching Yi Dianhong the Thirteen Deadly Swords, but it had evolved to include the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Swords.

If the Thirteen Deadly Swords could have a Fourteenth and Fifteenth form, then the Thirteen Forms of Pure Wind could naturally have a Fourteenth form.

The two women found it amusing to see Hua Zhenzhen, the proud Huashan disciple, no longer pressing Jin Banhua about the origin of his sword techniques. Clearly, Jin Banhua had found her weakness.

They all knew Jin Banhua’s martial arts. If he said that Yi Dianhong would become the greatest swordsman after learning the Fifteenth Deadly Sword, then the Fourteenth Form of Pure Wind must be incredibly powerful.

Hua Zhenzhen’s face turned a bit red under their scrutiny, but the two women kindly averted their gazes before she could say anything.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Song Tiane turn to her, hesitating to speak.

Hua Zhenzhen’s expression tightened, and she heard Song Tiane say earnestly, "Did you like the roasted chicken and beef I made?"

Hua Zhenzhen, "..."
