63: Chapter 63 The Unreasonable Invitation to the Moon

But this depended on the target.

Last time he exposed Jiang Biehe's identity, the other party wanted to kill him, but he dodged it easily.

That was because Jiang Biehe's Martial Arts were average.

If it were Yao Yue and Lian Xing, Old Red Leaf really had no confidence.

But the people had already arrived at his door.

If he avoided seeing them, given Yao Yue's personality, it was very likely she would burn down this Red Leaf Pavilion with a single fire.

Therefore, even though his heart was pounding, Old Red Leaf could only have people invite these two notorious baleful stars, Yao Yue and Lian Xing, inside.

Upon meeting, Old Red Leaf smiled and said: "The arrival of the two Palace Masters makes my Red Leaf Pavilion shine with glory."

"I wonder what advice the two of you have for coming here this time?"

Yao Yue said expressionlessly: "Wuchuan told me that he found out his life background here. Is this true?"

Old Red Leaf's eyelids twitched, but he still braced himself and said: "It is true."

Yao Yue's expression turned cold: "Since you know about the events of that year, you should be clear about my plan."

Old Red Leaf: "..."

He really wanted to say he didn't know, but he wasn't confident he could deceive Yao Yue.

Yao Yue continued: "Knowing my plan, yet daring to tell him his life background and disrupt my plan, this is clearly going against me."

Old Red Leaf said with difficulty: "I did not intend to go against you, Palace Master Yao Yue, but it was truly because Young Hero Hua used force to compel me at the time. I had no choice!"

Yao Yue sneered: "You had no choice when he used force to compel you, but you have a way when you anger me?"

"This..."

Cold sweat broke out on Old Red Leaf's back, but he also felt secretly annoyed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Palace Master Yao Yue, aren't your words a bit too unreasonable?"

"Reason?" Yao Yue scoffed, then said forcefully: "Anything I, Yao Yue, set my eyes on, no one can snatch. Anything I, Yao Yue, want to do, no one can stop. Unless you take my life, otherwise, you must pay with your own life."

Old Red Leaf: "..."

It wasn't that he hadn't heard that Yao Yue was strong and overbearing, but he didn't expect her to be this tyrannical.

If she won't even listen to reason, how is one supposed to play?

At this moment, Yao Yue said again: "That letter from before, you were the one who had someone send it, right?"

Old Red Leaf did not speak.

He felt that speaking was useless, so he directly used his Lightness Skill to retreat, pulling back into the inner room.

Seeing this, Yao Yue immediately circulated the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, wanting to suck him over from a distance, but because she lost the initiative, she was a step too slow.

Subsequently, Old Red Leaf's voice came from all directions through the mechanism.

"Palace Master Yao Yue, although I was somewhat improper in this matter, it was also because Hua Wuchuan used force to coerce me. You Yihua Palace were unreasonable first."

"How about we let it pass here?"

"It is true that you and Palace Master Lian Xing have superior Martial Arts, but the business of Red Leaf Pavilion is prone to offending people. I have been able to live safely until now, so I am no pushover. My skill in fighting others is not great, but I believe my ability to save my life ranks in the top three in the world."

"My Lightness Skill and Golden Bell Shield were both learned at great expense."

Yao Yue looked around, determining through sound and position that Old Red Leaf was in the room with the tightly closed iron door.

Hearing this, she showed disdain: "Do you think that by hiding in a room, I have no way to deal with you?"

"I want to see just how hard your turtle shell is."

After speaking, Yao Yue gathered her power and struck the iron door with a Heart Shattering Palm.

With a boom, the palm force left a palm print on the door and caused it to dent inward.

At this rate, it was estimated that it wouldn't take many hits before the door would be forcibly blasted open.

Old Red Leaf in the room watched with his heart pounding, somewhat regretting provoking Yihua Palace.

It wasn't that he didn't know Yao Yue and Lian Xing had high-level Martial Arts, but he didn't expect them to be this ferocious.

This iron door was something he had spent a large sum of money to forge, stronger than an average city gate, but now, with just Yao Yue attacking, it couldn't quite hold up...

Run! Must run away quickly!

Old Red Leaf hurriedly opened a secret passage through the mechanism to escape.

Yao Yue outside keenly heard the movement and couldn't help but attack heavier and faster, but one step slow, every step slow.

When she blasted the door open, Old Red Leaf had already disappeared without a trace.

The Disciples of Red Leaf Pavilion saw that the situation was bad and also slipped away in advance, running off without a trace.

Yao Yue was so angry her teeth itched, and without another word, she set a fire and burned down Red Leaf Pavilion.

Old Red Leaf, who had escaped through the secret passage, hid in the shadows and saw this scene, feeling his heart dripping with blood.

This Red Leaf Pavilion headquarters was not only built by him with a large amount of money, but it also contained many files. Now that it was reduced to ashes, his losses were unimaginable.

"Yao Yue, Lian Xing, I am your sworn enemy!"

He spat this sentence out through his teeth, then turned and continued to flee along the planned route.

...

In the raging fire, the Red Leaf Pavilion headquarters turned into ruins.

Lian Xing sighed inwardly.

They were indeed not in the right in this matter, but Red Leaf Pavilion was not a good place either.

Therefore, she did not stop Yao Yue from burning it down.

The reason for her sigh was just feeling that worldly affairs change easily.

Regaining her focus, she asked Yao Yue: "Sister, now that Red Leaf Pavilion has been burned, that escaped Old Red Leaf will surely not let it go after finding out. Should we continue to hunt him down and cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, or follow the plan to find that Meng Li?"

Yao Yue said disdainfully: "Just a rat that only knows how to operate in the shadows, it cannot stir up any storms."

"Let's follow the plan and find that Meng Li."

"Xingnu and the others should have found out his whereabouts."

...

Meng Li did not know that he had already been targeted by Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

He was currently turning the knowledge from the Qiao Duo Tian Gong Secret Manual into practice.

After Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuchuan left Red Leaf Pavilion, the part of the contract that needed to be verified was automatically completed.

With the help of the power of the contract, Meng Li successfully obtained the Qiao Duo Tian Gong Secret Manual and mastered the knowledge within it.

Facing this new knowledge, he couldn't help but want to practice it.

After thinking, he set the final goal of his practice as building a camper carriage.

This camper carriage was naturally not the kind from Meng Li's previous life.

Even if the Qiao Duo Tian Gong Secret Manual was amazing, limited by the era, its technology could not leap from ancient times to modern times.

The camper carriage he envisioned was inspired by a period drama he had watched in his previous life—'Lian Hua Lou'. The protagonist of the drama, Li Lianhua, usually traveled in a camper carriage, and the mechanism technology contained within it was not too advanced.

Combining it with the Qiao Duo Tian Gong Secret Manual, Meng Li was confident he could build a similar one.

However, he was currently still in the traveling stage, unable to focus on building it, and could only intermittently make some modifications to the carriage he was riding in.

For example, improving the shock absorption measures to make it more comfortable to sit in.

And for example, adding some defensive facilities.

For this reason, he not only specifically rented a courtyard, but the time he and Tie Xinlan and the others stayed in a certain place inevitably lengthened.

Fortunately, the few of them had nothing to do, and they had enough money, so it didn't matter.

This day, Tie Xinlan, Jiang Yuyan, and Xiaoxiao teamed up to go shopping.

Meng Li was in the courtyard modifying the carriage.

Just as he finished, an inquiring voice suddenly came from the top of the wall.

"Are you Meng Li?"
