Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 911 The Legend of the Dark River 243

"Ok, bye."

After parting ways with Bai Hehuai, Li Chu continued to wander around the front mountain and soon saw Su Changli standing guard.

He chose the identity of a bodyguard.

Because of his status, his short hair grew back to long, and he didn't look out of place at all with the people here.

She swept through the surrounding trees, a leaf appearing in her hand, which she then floated down towards the people below.

"Sister-in-law!!" Su Changli called out as soon as he looked up and saw Li Chu.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Li Chu climbed down from the eaves.

The way they keep watch here is by having someone stand at every other spot.

"Yes, yes, I have to keep my voice down. Sister-in-law, are you also inside the palace gate?"

"Yes, I'm in the back mountain."

"As long as you're safe, I'm fine. This time it didn't seem too difficult, just keeping watch every night. What about you guys?"

"Those at the palace gates are all pretty much the same. Bai Hehuai is in the Shang Palace. Have you seen anyone else?"

"No, I didn't see anyone else at the palace gate. Our daily activities are limited, so I don't know where my brother and the others are. They should have all chosen the identity of the assassin, right?"

His guess was similar to Li Chu's.

"It should be outside the palace gate. I'll go take a look later."

Su Changli seemed to suddenly remember something, and moved closer to Li Chu, his tone tinged with worry.

"Sister-in-law, you said they're assassins, and we're from this palace...are we going to be on opposing sides, and end up killing each other?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chu was surprised to find that his prediction was quite accurate.

The palace gates are, after all, the opposite of Wu Feng.

"Why do you think so?"

Seeing that Li Chu did not disbelieve his thoughts, Su Changli offered an explanation.

"No, the rules have become so few and simpler than before, which makes people more prone to overthinking. That's what they call being prepared for danger in times of peace, right?"

"I don't know for now either, I'll ask someone when I find them."

"I want to go too, but I only have one level of internal energy left to use, so it's not easy to get out of here."

"I can pass on any message you have, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to find the person smoothly."

"It's nothing, there's nothing to say, as long as everyone is alright."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Li Chu circled the palace gate again but didn't find anyone else. It seemed that there might only be the three of them at the palace gate.

However, I haven't been to the Moon Palace and Flower Palace on the back mountain, or some other places yet. I'll talk about them when I get back.

She successfully left the palace gates. The selection of a bride for the young master of the palace was already being arranged, and the bride-to-be would enter the palace soon.

First, go to Wufeng and meet with the others to get a feel for the situation.

Wufeng Headquarters

From the moment Li Chu arrived at the foot of the mountain, he concealed his presence and flew directly up.

Following the spiritual energy left on the jade pendant he had given Su Changhe before entering, he quickly found him.

Su Changhe was wiping his knife with a cloth when he suddenly noticed someone staring at him. He habitually curled the corners of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

But soon, the familiar scent relaxed him, and his smile became genuine.

"How did you find me? It's been so long, have you been missing me terribly?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I came to see how you're doing here."

Li Chu emerged from the shadows and scrutinized his long hair, which was all tied up behind his back.

It wasn't tied up high; it was just the same long hair as before, only the ends were loosely tied up.

"This place is not as good as the underground river, but the people inside are even more cold-blooded and ruthless."

Noticing her gaze after speaking, Su Changhe smiled and turned around, saying, "I have long hair again, how is it? Do you like it?"

Seeing his expression, Li Chu reached out and pulled him closer by tugging at the ends of his hair, while wrapping her other arm around his neck from behind.

Su Changhe didn't resist. He leaned back against her, taking advantage of her momentum, and teased, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"

"If I can't kill you, why are you here all alone?"

She remembered that the lowest-ranking assassins in Wufeng didn't have single rooms.

Many people were sleeping on the floor in one room.

"This is the secret base I found. Usually no one comes here. I just rest here when I have nothing to do. The people in Wufeng are too ruthless. They either train people to death or send them on missions."

He's not here to risk his life, so naturally he won't behave himself.

Li Chu released his hair and neck, and Su Changhe straightened up as well.

"Did anyone else see it?"

"They're not under the same instructor; the instructor here is called Jackdaw."

"Bai Hehuai, Su Changli, and I are at the palace gate. Wufeng and the palace gate are adversaries, and there will definitely be a battle later."

"That's perfect. After we finish fighting, we might be able to get out."

"The palace is going to choose a bride for the young master, and Wu Feng's people are definitely among the brides to be chosen. I guess Mu Yumo and the others might be sent in."

"Oh, is that so? You're alright after coming out tonight?" Su Changhe checked her over to see if she was injured.

It sounds like the palace gates are a powerful force, requiring assassins to scheme against them.

Li Chu shook his head: "No one has noticed that my rules are complete. Now I'm just waiting for the right moment to go out."

"You're pretty fast, but I'm about the same."

"The rules are different this time, what do you think?"

“Indeed, it seems the crisis lies in the battle you mentioned. According to the rules, we cannot deviate from Wufeng.”

"Then be careful, see you then."

"You're just leaving like this?"

"Otherwise? What else do you want?" Li Chu raised an eyebrow playfully.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Su Changhe helplessly pulled her close, hugged her, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"You've come all this way to find me, I can't just let you leave."

Li Chu didn't answer, but instead raised her hand and hugged his neck in response.

After a while, she pushed the person away and said, "Okay, it's really time to go."

If we don't go back now, we won't have much time to sleep when we get to the palace gate, and it will be dawn soon.

"How are you getting home? I'll see you off." Su Changhe tugged at his collar to let some air in.

Wufeng's defenses are quite strict, and the mountain is teeming with people.

He wasn't even confident that he could move freely with only 10% of his internal energy and without alerting anyone.

"No need, it's more convenient for me to do it alone."

After saying that, she left quickly.

Su Changhe could no longer catch a glimpse of her.

Today is the day the palace gates welcome the brides-to-be.

Seeing that both Xiaoxue and Daxue were talking about this, Li Chu also showed her curiosity at the right time: "It sounds very interesting, can't we go and take a look?"

"Those who live in the back mountain cannot go to the front mountain, nor can they leave this place," Xue Chongzi said calmly.

"With such rigid rules, you must be living a very boring life."

Young Master Xue sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's only become more fun after you came."

"Let's watch a movie. I'll show you some big sharks in the sea, the Megalodon, they're very fierce."

How big is it?

"It's quite big; it could swallow a person whole."

The movie is excellent, full of tension and excitement. It not only showcases the dangers and mysteries of the ocean, but also the resilience and courage of the main characters.
