Martial Saint through Reading

Chapter 323: Chapter 266: External Qi Blood Pearl_4

"Cough cough..." Blood was coughed up, and Zhuge Chen’s entire aura weakened again.

"Little Chen!" Seeing this, Zhuge Rui hurriedly took out an elixir for Zhuge Chen to take.

After a long time, Zhuge Chen slowly calmed down.

"It’s my fault," Zhuge Rui said remorsefully, "I shouldn’t have been greedy for that Silver Moon Armor."

"Brother," Zhuge Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking somber, "I’ve dragged you down."

"My body has been like this since birth, brother, you don’t have to keep running around for me..."

"Little Chen," before he could finish, Zhuge Rui said sternly, "Once we find two pieces of thousand-year Crimson Beauty Leaf, I can refine another batch of Yangtian Elixir."

"Then we’ll go to Qin Capital, you join the First-Grade Cold Family, and I’ll join the Martial Immortal Alliance. With your talent and my strength, together we can make a place for ourselves in Qin Capital."

"Brother... cough cough... what about the Silver Moon Armor?"

"Forget about it; that senior is extremely powerful, at least at the level of Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection, if not Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm. I’m not a match."

"..."

First-Grade Cold Family? Martial Immortal Alliance?

Through the Sword Gourd Spirit, Chu Ming heard their conversation clearly.

The younger brother seemed to be born with some illness, getting weak after running a few steps, yet he had the talent to join the First-Grade Cold Family.

The elder brother is very strong, searching for Treasure Medicine for his brother, with the strength of Nine Meridians of the Meridian Unlocking Realm, he could also join the Martial Immortal Alliance.

The other party must have a Silver Moon Artifact, and it should be quite a special one.

The four pieces of Silver Moon Equipment on him had never reacted before today.

What kind of Silver Moon Artifact could it be?

"Commander Jiang, Commander Meng, I’m done eating."

"Let’s go, find an inn, after riding a horse all day, my backside is..."

"..."

...

Night falls.

Lindu County, Yuelai Inn.

"Is the guest staying or drinking?"

Zhuge Rui brought Zhuge Chen to this place.

"Staying, open a room."

"Two guests in one room?" The shopkeeper gave them a peculiar look.

"One room." Zhuge Rui’s gaze was stern.

"Alright... alright..." The shopkeeper, feeling a chill on his back, quickly prepared a room for Zhuge Rui.

"Second floor, Room A."

Zhuge Rui took the room key without saying a word and led Zhuge Chen upstairs.

About the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn later, three more people entered the inn.

"Shopkeeper, three rooms."

"Got it."

"Second floor, Rooms B, C, and D."

"..."

Chu Ming settled into Room B, adjacent to Room A, and released his Sword Gourd Spirit to continue eavesdropping.

In Room A, the Zhuge brothers spoke in very low voices, like the buzzing of flies.

"Brother, are you going out?"

"Yeah, I’ve already found out where the Crimson Beauty Leaf is."

"Where?"

"Rainbow Jade Pavilion."

"Rainbow Jade Pavilion? Brother, we just raided the Treasure Jade Building yesterday, and today the Crimson Beauty Leaf shows up again... could it be a trap?"

"And what if it is? Did you forget who your brother is? The notorious Silver Moon Thief, with my Nine Meridians strength in the Meridian Unlocking Realm and my stealth skills, who can catch me?"

"Brother..." Zhuge Chen’s face was filled with worry, "It’s too risky, committing theft two days in a row is a big no-no..."

"Don’t worry, I’m not going directly; I’ll visit a few prominent families first to divert attention."

"..." Zhuge Chen paused and said, "Brother, be careful, I’ll wait for you to return."

"Okay."

"..."

...

In a secluded villa in Lindu County, under the moonlight, two people dressed in golden robes were sitting face to face.

"Fifth Brother, it’s still nice here, staying in Qin Capital for a few more days and I’m afraid I’d go crazy," the Seventh Prince leisurely sipped his tea.

"Indeed, it’s oppressive in Qin Capital these days. Not just you and me, even Second Brother and Eldest Brother are having hard times." The Fifth Prince rotated his teacup, a slight heaviness in his expression.

"I understand why Eldest Brother’s life is hard; the pressure from Father is immense. But what hard times is Second Brother having? He’s either playing chess with Third Brother and Fourth Brother all day long or hunting in the suburbs, living too carefreely."
