Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 270 Passing on a Message

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that going too far?"

Lu Xiaofeng said irritably.

"Brother Gu, it's been a long time."

Hua Manlou, standing to the side, smiled and bowed slightly.

"Brother Hua, it's been a long time. I'm so sorry I couldn't attend your father's birthday banquet because I've been so busy."

Gu Qianbei said.

"It's alright. There's a lot going on at the birthday banquet, it's actually a good thing you didn't go."

Hua Manlou laughed.

Gu Qianbei guessed that there was something about the Iron Shoes Thief at the birthday banquet, but Hua Manlou didn't seem inclined to mention it, so he didn't press the matter.

Gu Qianbei then introduced Wanwan and Hua Manlou, and then the two sat down.

"Tell me, what has stumped our chivalrous detective Lu Xiaofeng this time?"

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"This isn't even about what happened at the Forbidden City. Two people have already died because of it."

I investigated for ages, but I still can't figure it out.

Lu Xiaofeng looked troubled, clearly quite distressed.

Gu Qianbei already roughly understood what was going on.

It seems that Ye Gucheng and the Southern Prince's Mansion have begun their operation.

"So that's what it was about. Brother Lu, you're a natural-born detective; you always seem to encounter all sorts of strange things."

"At a time like this, you're still mocking me? By the way, have you run into any trouble lately?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Of course there will be trouble. This capital city is so big, with countless experts and powerful people everywhere. Intelligence leaks out like a sieve."

The day after I gave you the Jade Bee Nourishing Wine, everyone knew about it.

So, some clueless people came to cause me trouble.

However, I don't have many skills, and killing happens to be one of them.

So, I resolved them all.

After the killing spree, things became much quieter.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"It has to be you again. It seems you're out of danger for now, only I'm in trouble."

Brother Gu, how about helping me solve this case?

I noticed you had a great talent for this before.

"Forget it, I'm not interested. Why don't you ask Zhang Jinjiu for help?"

"Brother Gu, you must have been spending a lot of time with Miss Wanwan lately, so you haven't been looking for Brother Zhang, have you?"

Lu Xiaofeng complained.

"You know that?"

Gu Qianbei said in surprise.

"If you go to find Brother Zhang, you will find out that he has been away from the capital for several months."

I heard he went to investigate an extremely difficult case and won't be back for a while.

"I see. Then you'll have to bear this suffering alone."

Don't worry, detectives all have patterns in solving cases, so you won't be too anxious.

"What pattern?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously.

"First, if a deadline for solving the case is set, whether it is three days or five days, the detective will definitely come up with the answer at the last minute."

Secondly, at crucial moments, someone will use casual words to dispel your doubts.

Third, if you really can't figure out the killer, it's probably a close friend who's plotting against you, and you'll eventually figure it out.

and so!

You don't need to worry about not being able to solve the case, because everything is preordained.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to refute it, but after listening to it, he felt that it made a lot of sense.

He's solved so many cases, and this is almost always true.

"Brother Gu, it's a real shame you're not a detective."

Hua Manlou smiled and said upon hearing this.

Being too outstanding can be a problem. It's just a pity that my only interest is brewing wine.

Come, let me offer you some different kinds of fine wine.

These are all custom-made for me; you can't find them in any store.

Gu Qianbei took out the Cangguang Gourd and poured wine for the two of them.

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to complain a bit, but seeing that there was wine to drink, he immediately shut his mouth and prepared to enjoy it.

Since there are no leads for the case yet, let's enjoy the food for now.

That's the most important thing.

After having a meal with Lu Xiaofeng, Gu Qianbei took Wanwan back to Qianchousi.

Unexpectedly, Yunluo came again.

"Manager Gu! I'm here! My recent Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Style has improved even more. Shall I show you?"

Yunluo couldn't wait to show it off, and the effect was indeed quite good.

She has made a lot of progress.

Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction and gave her a couple more pointers.

Did you help Xiao Guo run away from her wedding?

After discussing martial arts, Gu Qianbei chatted with Yun Luo.

"Yes, yes! After talking to you that day, I went to find her."

She was already thinking about marriage at that time, so I immediately tried to help her.

Unexpectedly, everything went very smoothly.

She's probably almost at Qixia Town by now.

Yunluo looked proud.

While doing this, she felt like a female knight-errant.

Gu Qianbei couldn't help but feel sorry for Guo Juxia.

His own daughter was already a headache enough, but he never expected that a princess would cause even more trouble.

But that's just the fate of being a parent.

"By the way, Yunluo, please pass on a message to your elder brother."

"What news?"

Yunluo asked curiously.

"The heir of the Southern Prince's Mansion has an unusual appearance, his motives at the Forbidden City are impure, and undercurrents are surging in the capital. There is an undercover agent among them. We hope he will make preparations as soon as possible and end this farce ahead of schedule."

"Oh no? Is something bad about to happen?"

Yunluo looked worried.

"It's not a big deal, but it's disgusting."

Since it's a farce, it's best to end it sooner rather than later, to avoid causing any further trouble.

"Alright! I understand! I'll go back and tell my brother right away!"

Yunluo hurriedly returned to the palace, and Wanwan walked out from the side, looking at Gu Qianbei with a puzzled expression.

"Are you planning to help the emperor?"

"It's not really helping, it's just doing him a favor. The Southern Prince's operation was never going to succeed anyway."

Rather than letting the battle at the Forbidden City become a joke, let's make this epic battle more genuine.

I want to see which sword is stronger, Ye Gucheng's or Ximen Chuixue's.

They are all top swordsmen in the late stage of Grandmaster, and the winner may be able to achieve the realm of Celestial Being.

This is a great opportunity for me to observe.

After all, I'm not far from reaching that realm of immortality.

"Didn't you just break through to the late stage of Grandmaster? You already feel like you're not far from the Celestial Realm?"

Wanwan asked in surprise.

"Have you forgotten what level of cultivation I was when I met you a year ago?"

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"That's true. It's like you don't need to cultivate at all, yet your cultivation speed is ridiculously fast."

I'm afraid that if I leave this time, I'll be a celestial being when I come back next time.

"That won't happen so soon. Because I won't let you leave for that long."

"What? Are you reluctant to part with my body, or with me as a person?"

Wanwan smiled charmingly and stepped forward to lift Gu Qianbei's chin.

His eyes were practically glazing with intense emotion.

"Of course, we can't bear to part with any of it."

Gu Qianbei pulled Wanwan into his arms.

Both of them had tasted forbidden fruit for the first time, and having tasted its sweetness, they had been doing it every day for the past few days.

Go upstairs, push open the door, and go inside!

It's another beautiful day.

Meanwhile, after receiving Yunluo's message, Yin Kuang showed a thoughtful expression.
