“I don’t know either.” Lu Bu shook his head. “I think Ji Xiong found out only recently. He didn’t tell what Chen Xiaobei’s other name is!”

Outside the courtyard, Chen Xiaobei felt the tension in his body float away.

He was lucky that Lu Bu did not know. Otherwise, Chen Xiaobei’s identity would have been exposed and might even be connected to the Atlantis incident!

It was not strange at all when you think about it. Even if Ji Xiong had discovered Chen Xiaobei’s alias, it was not something of importance before today; thus it was only normal that he did not find it necessary to share this information with Lu Bu.

But as of present day, the knowledge of knowing Chen Xiaobei’s second name was finally useful, but unfortunately Ji Xiong was killed with the secret. He would probably be turning in his grave.

“Alright! Even though it’s not completely clear, I’m willing to believe you. We’ll treat this as a misunderstanding!” Lu Mingjun said. “If you don’t mind, you can stay in our house! I’ll hire a sketch artist, and he’ll draw Chen Xiaobei’s portrait based on your description! We’ll comb through the city and catch him. We’ll see if the people we are looking for are the same person!”

“I…” Lu Bu hesitated.

The most convenient way to find Chen Xiaobei was through Shen Gongpao’s calculation. But Shen Gongpao was a contemptible crook who kept Diao Chan hostage. Lu Bu really did not want to contact him directly.

On top of that, Lu Mingjun’s idea sounded pretty good.

“Alright! I’m willing to stay!” Lu Bu furrowed his brows. “But I’ve only met Chen Xiaobei once. I’m afraid that my description and the hand-drawn portrait might be very different!”

“It doesn’t matter. We’ll just apprehend anyone who looks like him. Then Mr. Lu can take your time to identify him!”

“Alright! That’s settled then!” Lu Bu nodded. “But what about the 10 people I killed? How should we settle that?”

“Heh, those were just watchdogs. Don’t worry about it, Mr. Lu!” Lu Mingjun smiled. He really did not give a rat’s ass about the death of his guards.

Lu Bu thought to himself, “This guy is ruthless! Cold-blooded!”

“Come!” Lu Mingjun ordered. “Bring Mr. Lu to the VIP guest room, and give him the VIP treatment! After that, send someone to get the sketch artist to come by today! I don’t want any delays!”

“When the artist gets here, call me immediately! I won’t be sleeping tonight!” Lu Bu said, and then followed a servant to the guest room.

“Father! Do you really believe that guy?” Lu Changwei asked. “What if he is the assassin?”

“Use your brain to think! If he is the assassin, would you still be breathing?” Lu Mingjun spayed. “Also, his friend had just died in the most unusual manner. I want to know what the hell is going on as well!”

“I… I understand!” Lu Changwei nodded. “I hope that the person he’s looking for is the person we’re looking for, we’ll just have to get the keys, and everything will be alright!”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be hoping here!” Lu Changjun spat.

“Oh, father, you mean…” Lu Changwei looked at his father, puzzled.

Lu Mingjun said scornfully, “Send for the Silver Plume soldiers now! Once the portrait is complete, make copies and then put them up all over the city! Then search the entire city!”

“Father, didn’t you just say that the assassin won’t be staying in the city to wait for us to catch him?” Lu Changwei asked, almost in a whisper.

“How did I end up having such a fool as my son? One instruction short and you’re all confused!” Lu Mingjun said sternly, “We put up the portraits just to inform the people in the city! Anyone who can provide us with any leads will be rewarded with 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If they catch the assassin alive, the reward will be 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”

“Oh! I understand now! By offering rewards, we’ll be able to look for the answers that we are searching for!” Lu Changwei finally figured it out. “I’ll go now!”

Outside the courtyard.

Chen Xiaobei had already put away the puppet and the Head Piercing Seven Arrows and returned to invisible mode.

“F*ck! Even though Ji Xiong is dead, Lu Bu is now working with the Lu family. And now they’re going to draw my portrait. What should I do?”

Chen Xiaobei’s forehead was creased. “Lu Mingjun is putting in so much to find me! 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones is equivalent to 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones! 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones is equivalent to 1,000,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!”

“If this bounty is put up, there will be an uproar in the whole Silver Plume city! Those who have seen me will be more than keen to provide information! I can’t let it happen! I have to go in and see how the portrait turns out. If my identity is exposed, I will have to live the rest of my life with a mask on! On top of that, everything I have done will be wasted!”

Chen Xiaobei re-entered the Lu mansion, overwrought.

The Lu family’s servants had gone out to hire a sketch artist. It would probably take a while for them to return.

The lights were on in the large hall and in the guest room where Lu Bu was staying. All of them obviously wanted this sketch done tonight. They could not wait to capture Chen Xiaobei alive tomorrow.

“No! No! I have to figure something out! I cannot just sit here and wait for death to come.”

There was still time left. If Chen Xiaobei wanted to turn the situation around, he would have use his secret weapon!

He found a hiding place, whipped his phone out and clicked into the Brotherhood chat group.

Chen Xiaobei: Brothers! I’m in trouble! Please help! (Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!)

Xiao Tianquan: What happened?

Chen Xiaobei: Lu Bu descended to the earthly realm and allied with my enemy! They are going to hire a sketch artist to draw a portrait of me, and then catch me!

Monkey King: Just kill the artist! Problem solved.

Chen Xiaobei: I can kill one artist, and then they can keep replacing him with hundreds of other artists! It won’t solve the problem! Also, the sketch artist is innocent!

Yanwang: If you want to tackle the problem, then mess with the sketch so that it doesn’t look like you!

Chen Xiaobei: Er, Lu Bu has seen me before. The sketch won’t look too different from my actual self! If it’s too different, Lu Bu won’t put the portrait up!

Yanwang: What I meant was make Lu Bu think that the sketch which doesn’t look like you, look like you!

Chen Xiaobei: Er, what are you saying? I’m having a headache trying to understand what you mean. (sweating)

Yanwang: Have you heard of mirages?

Chen Xiaobei: I have! Because of light refraction, illusions appear on the desert!

Yanwang: That’s right! I know a treasure that could create mirage effects! Think of your sketch as the desert, and what Lu Bu sees is the mirage!

Chen Xiaobei: I still don’t quite get it.

Yanwang: You’ll understand once you get the item!

Chen Xiaobei: Alright! What is it called? Where is it now?

Yanwang: Mirage Mystifying Fan! It’s with Grand Deity Zhen Yuan!
