Chương 269: Elusive Maiden

In the silence of the night, Chu Li changed into a black attire and glided into the Ren Public House.

The entire Ren Public House was heavily-guarded, even more so than the Yi Public House.

The Yi Public House had the geographical advantage. Isolated clusters of islands were very easy to protect, so there was no need for strict security.

Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and exploited the blind spots of the guards. Along with the usage of the Life and Death Scripture, he disguised himself as a withered tree, fusing his presence as one with nature and easily slipped into Lu Yurong's courtyard.

There was an array of flowers that were blooming in the courtyard. Their fragrance was pleasing, soothing both heart and mind.

Being an expert in botanics, Chu LI could tell that the flowers were a rare bunch. They would not bloom in the day but rather at night, under the moonlight.

Lu Yurong was reading, sitting under the courtyard's pagoda.
