The divine arts of the God Realm were vast, profound, and endlessly varied.
For example, the Fiery Scholar Tong Yaoguang's method of finding people actually relied on the butcher knife at his waist!
Ye Yu had seen paper cranes and yellow talismans used to guide the way before, but this was truly his first time seeing a butcher knife used for tracking.
He was so embarrassed that he deliberately put an extra step of distance between himself and Tong Yaoguang.
Tong Yaoguang immediately noticed.
He asked irritably, "What are you doing? Do you have a problem with my divine artifact?"
"No, absolutely not. You're being too sensitive. Let me tell you a secret. My divine artifact is the same model as yours. Look if you don't believe me!"
After saying that, Ye Yu took out the butcher knife rewarded by the system.
The two compared them. Their size and curvature matched perfectly.
They looked as though they had been cast from the same mold!
Tong Yaoguang was extremely excited.
He grabbed Ye Yu by the sleeve and was unable to speak for a long while.
Only after finally calming down did he say, "A kindred spirit! Only those who have truly wielded a butcher knife can understand its romance.
"To raise it is to struggle. To lower it is mercy.
"Say no more. I'll teach you the Dog Slaughter Art. You must study it diligently!"
Hearing this, Ye Yu struggled to control his expression and keep himself from laughing.
Good grief, he even made it rhyme.
I honestly don't know what to say about that!
Still, Ye Yu would have to decline the Dog Slaughter Art.
It might truly be an exquisite technique, but the name alone was already difficult for him to accept, never mind having to run around hacking people with a butcher knife in the future.
Honestly, if his Dao companions ever saw that sight, they would probably laugh themselves unconscious on the spot.
Thus, Ye Yu decisively refused the offer.
He explained that his family already had a saber art for him to cultivate.
Only by remaining devoted to one path could he reach a higher realm. He understood perfectly well that taking on too much would only prevent him from mastering anything, so he would not learn it.
Tong Yaoguang froze slightly, clearly disappointed, but he soon composed himself.
After all, everyone had their own aspirations.
From that point onward, however, there was noticeably more seriousness in the way he looked at Ye Yu.
Truthfully, Ye Yu had not expected this outcome either.
All it had taken was a single butcher knife to reach the Fiery Scholar's heart.
Wasn't that far too easy?
Of course, none of that was important. Finding Chu She came first!
Guided by Tong Yaoguang's butcher knife, they arrived at a divine city in the southern part of the God Realm.
Before entering, Ye Yu deliberately glanced at its name.
Ling'an Divine City.
At least the name sounded decent and was not overly bizarre!
The moment they entered the city, Tong Yaoguang put the butcher knife away.
This made Ye Yu curious.
"What? Have you already sensed Chu She's whereabouts?"
Tong Yaoguang shook his head slightly and said softly, "I told you, lowering it is mercy. What if such a deadly weapon caused panic by appearing inside a divine city?"
Ye Yu discreetly curled his lip.
What panic? You just care about appearances!
A butcher knife still isn't something you can proudly display in public!
Naturally, Ye Yu did not say any of that aloud.
After all, good friends knew when to see through something without exposing it!
Tong Yaoguang descended and led Ye Yu straight toward the eastern part of the city.
As they walked, he explained of his own accord, "Chu She has a lover here. Since this was the last place he came to, he must have gone to find her."
Ye Yu nodded upon hearing this.
The two soon arrived outside a residence. Before they could even knock, a brocade box was thrown out from within.
Ye Yu instinctively raised a hand and caught it.
The box had no lid. Inside lay a jade bracelet and a messily written letter.
Tong Yaoguang curiously took it and looked it over, then immediately broke into a broad grin.
"Oh? Now this is something rare. Someone in the God Realm still writes love letters?
"And it's written so shamelessly and explicitly. What an affront to scholarly dignity!
"Let me see who signed it. Hm? Xiao Pingchao? Never heard of him!"
Ye Yu's ears twitched.
"Who? Who did you say?"
"Xiao Pingchao. Do you know him?"
As Tong Yaoguang spoke, he handed the love letter to Ye Yu.
After taking one look, Ye Yu's expression became extraordinarily strange.
It really was the master of the Tianshan Path!
The letter clearly stated: To the Goddess Feifei, personally.
Goddess Feifei was here?
And she was also Chu She's lover. In that case, what exactly did that make Xiao Pingchao?
Her newest devoted admirer? Or someone trying to steal another man's woman?
Before Ye Yu could think any further, the residence's doors opened and Gu Qinglan walked out.
She was visibly surprised when she saw Ye Yu standing outside.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to find someone. What about you? Helping your master find a Dao companion? Impressive. You're certainly a responsible disciple!"
Ye Yu's teasing tone left Gu Qinglan utterly mortified.
Truthfully, she had only discovered after arriving that the brocade box contained a love letter!
And an extremely... embarrassing one at that.
When the goddess had read the letter aloud, Gu Qinglan had been too ashamed even to remain standing there.
Fortunately, the woman had a good temper and had merely asked her to leave.
Had Gu Qinglan been in her place, she probably would have drawn a saber and started hacking immediately!
Master, how could you make me handle something like this?
This is unbearably humiliating!
Gu Qinglan felt deeply embarrassed. She immediately snatched the love letter and brocade box from Ye Yu's hands, shoved him resentfully, then fled as though escaping for her life.
Ye Yu was left somewhat bewildered.
Take the things if you want, but why shove me?
Tong Yaoguang had stood to the side and watched the entire spectacle. Without saying anything, he walked directly into the residence.
"Sister-in-law, I've come to visit you."
At his words, a beautiful goddess emerged from one of the rooms.
Ye Yu had once seen Feifei's portrait in Xiao Pingchao's possession and recognized her at a glance.
This was Feifei herself.
"Who is this?"
Feifei fixed her gaze on Ye Yu, a hint of wariness in her eyes.
At her question, Tong Yaoguang said softly, "This is Ye Yu. He's also a friend of Chu She. Call Chu She out. I have something to discuss with him."
Feifei choked back two sobs before saying, "Come inside."
The instant Ye Yu saw her reaction, he realized something was wrong.
Tong Yaoguang's expression also changed sharply.
Led by Feifei, Ye Yu and Tong Yaoguang went straight into an inner room.
As a barrier opened, they saw Chu She again.
Or more precisely, they saw Chu She's corpse.
