Chapter 47 -47: The Dismembered Corpse by Five Horses
After leaving the War God Residence, Chu Nanli and Yanyan found a ready-made clothing shop, paid a Silver Coin, and borrowed two changing rooms.
Chu Yi waited outside silently, his handsome features attracting the glances of many girls passing by the clothing shop, yet he remained indifferent.
“How does it look?”
It wasn’t until a familiar voice reached him that he looked up. At the sight of Chu Nanli, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes.
Despite being slender, Chu Nanli stood with a straight back, her spirit of character firm like bamboo, her white jade-like features exquisite and noble.
She truly looked like a distinguished and elegant young master.
Chu Nanli raised her hand to pinch the hair tied up on top of her head, making sure it was secure, and then she withdrew her hand.
“You cannot be recognized as a woman at all,” Chu Yi honestly stated.
Chu Nanli had controlled her demeanor so well that one could not see any feminine traits, instead, one could see the heroic and distinguished air of a man.
“That’s good,” Chu Nanli controlled her voice, and suddenly her speech was indistinguishable from that of a young master.
Yanyan also changed into men’s clothing and had her hair done like an Attendant Student. Because she was young and had a round face, her real gender was also not recognizable.
“Chu Yi, you go buy medicine.”
Upon coming out of the clothing shop, Chu Nanli arranged, “I’ll take Yanyan…”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when Chu Nanli suddenly realized she had overlooked something in today’s arrangement.
…Yanyan was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, innocent indeed. Was it inappropriate to take her brazenly to a Brothel?
Realizing this, Chu Nanli felt secretly annoyed and changed her instructions, “Yanyan, didn’t you previously want to go to the pharmacy to get me some medicine to replenish my body? Now I have Chu Yi buy the medicine, you can have Chu Yi take you to buy some nourishing ingredients, and we will take them back to the residence together.”
Yanyan’s eyes lit up, and she promptly responded, “Okay.”
Chu Yi was somewhat worried about Chu Nanli’s safety, “Master, would you like me to escort you there first?”
“No need, I still have the capability to protect myself.”
Hearing this, Chu Yi no longer insisted. He took the silver note from Chu Nanli and left with Yanyan.
“Apricot Blossom Street, number 43.” Chu Nanli recalled this address, bought a box of pastries by the roadside, casually asked the vendor for directions, and then went on her way.
The streets of the Capital City were still bustling, with constant hawking on both sides and many people chatting about gossip.
Chu Nanli was very sensitive to some keywords, and she stopped when she heard them.
“Wang Xi was killed, did you know that?”
“The Wang Xi who raised a fierce horse?”
“Yes, someone found his and the horse’s corpses in the suburbs yesterday. Guess how he died? He was torn into five parts! The horse, however, was left intact.”
“Yikes! That brutal? It must be a revenge.”
“May I ask my friends, did this Wang Xi ride recklessly through the street a few days ago?”
The people chatting were taken aback, turned their heads, and saw a handsome young master. Catching a glimpse of his extraordinary demeanor, they cautiously replied, “Young brother is…?”
Chu Nanli bowed as a greeting and made up a name on the spot, “I am Jin Nan. A few days ago, I saw a burly man knocking down an elderly lady, so when I heard your conversation, I also became curious.”
Seeing his sincere manner of speaking, they gradually let down their guard.
One of them replied, “The one who hit the old lady was Wang Xi.”
“Young brother, could it be that you think the old lady’s identity is extraordinary?”
Chu Nanli smiled helplessly, saying, “That day, I did not get a close look at the old lady, so I can’t make a clear judgment. However, given that burly man’s irritable nature, it’s easy to offend people.”

This remark indeed led the people’s thoughts in a new direction.
“True, Wang Xi had a hateful and despised character; he must have offended countless people over the years, and it’s really unclear who struck the blow.”
Chu Nanli chatted with them a bit more about insignificant matters and then tactfully excused herself.
Walking towards Apricot Blossom Street, Chu Nanli was deep in thought.
The death of Wang Xi was very likely connected to the old lady she had saved that day, who indeed turned out to be of no ordinary status.
Just now, she stopped others from jumping to conclusions, as she didn’t want to involve them in trouble, as disaster quite often springs from careless talk.
Chu Nanli thought of the girl who had been in cahoots with Wang Xi that day, her gaze slightly darkening.
She wondered if the girl had been retaliated against.
However, as the saying goes, what you sow is what you reap.
