LRAB Chapter 50 Identity Exposed
Chapter 50 Identity Exposed
Silent all night.
The next morning, before Qianchousi even opened its doors, Song Qingshu came and knocked on the door.
"Junior Sister Zhiruo! Junior Sister Zhiruo!"
Gu Qianbei was asleep when she heard the voice and frowned slightly.
This guy, why is he disturbing my sleep? He has no manners at all.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei sprang out of bed and opened the door.
"Young Master Song, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Um... Manager Gu, I'm here to find Junior Sister Zhiruo and bring her breakfast."
Song Qingshu waved the breakfast in his hand and said with a smile.
"Your junior sister Zhiruo hasn't gotten up yet. What time is it?"
Gu Qianbei was speechless. After yawning, she went back to her room to sleep.
"Manager Gu, where is Junior Sister Zhiruo's room?"
"What? You think you can force your way into someone's room?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to wait for Junior Sister Zhiruo to get up."
Song Qingshu blushed immediately.
"Then you can wait here."
Gu Qianbei waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to Song Qingshu, and returned to his room.
Song Qingshu was immediately embarrassed and stood there, not knowing whether to go forward or retreat.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo arrived shortly afterward.
Clearly, Song Qingshu's knocking had woken her up.
She just needed to tidy up, which is why she came out a little late.
"Junior Sister Zhiruo, you're awake? Here, the soy milk and fried dough sticks I bought are still warm, have some."
"Senior Brother Song..."
When Zhou Zhiruo saw Song Qingshu, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Inside the room, Gu Qianbei shook her head upon hearing Song Qingshu's words.
"What girl would fall in love with you just because you buy her breakfast? What a pointless display of self-pity. Sigh, this Song Qingshu is pathetic too."
A woman might be touched and happy when a man she likes buys her breakfast, but she won't fall in love with him just because he buys her breakfast.
This principle is very simple, but many young men don't understand it.
In her previous life, Gu Qianbei had seen too many similar young men, and without exception, they all failed.
After taking a nap, Gu Qianbei felt much better.
When they woke up again, Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo were no longer at Qianchousi Market; they must have gone to pay their respects.
Gu Qianbei didn't care about this and went directly to Tongfu Inn to get her food.
"Xiao Gu, why do you have both Wudang and Emei disciples in your shop? Is there some trouble?"
Bai Zhantang asked curiously.
"no."
Gu Qianbei then briefly explained the situation.
"Hey, what a coincidence! Although Zhou Zhiruo is young, she is one of the most outstanding disciples among the fourth generation of Emei Sect disciples."
It is said that she was highly regarded by Abbess Miejue, the head of the Emei Sect, and was being groomed to be the next sect leader.
Bai Zhantang shared the information he knew, and Gu Qianbei listened while eating, not finding it surprising at all.
He knew all of these things.
Zhou Zhiruo's talent is indeed remarkable; her ability to quickly master the Nine Yin Manual and reach a top-tier level in her time speaks volumes.
"But I never expected that the top disciple of the third generation of Wudang Mountain would actually be interested in this Miss Zhou. Tsk tsk, what a powerful alliance, it's truly enviable."
Bai Zhantang sighed.
"Your alliance with the legendary thief and the world's number one female constable was quite good, it's just a pity it didn't work out."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile, and Bai Zhantang quickly covered his mouth.
"How do you know this? I haven't told anyone. Do you know Zhan Hongling?"
Bai Zhantang looked around nervously, afraid of being overheard.
Gu Qianbei pried Bai Zhantang's hand away and laughed, "I don't know him."
"How did you know?"
"secret."
"Hey, you're still playing these tricks on me?"
Before Bai Zhantang could say anything more, a young girl walked in.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of hot tea."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang had no choice but to give up arguing with Gu Qianbei and turned to get back to his work.
Gu Qianbei smiled, ate and drank his fill, and went home to practice his martial arts.
A thousand sorrows linger in the small courtyard.
Gu Qianbei first demonstrated the Bone-Dislocating Hand and Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand, and then practiced the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions and the Dragon's Regret. After completing the whole process, he felt completely refreshed.
"I've almost mastered the Bone-Dislocating Hand technique, and the Sunflower Acupoint Strike technique is only missing enough internal energy to reach the level of the Cave Heaven Finger. I'm also about to master the fourth layer of the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions technique. As for the Dragon's Regret, I've almost completely mastered its essence. All that's left is practical application."
In less than a month, Gu Qianbei felt as if she had been reborn, and was no longer the same person she was before.
Of course, the Golden Light Mantra has made the most progress.
This is also the foundation of his reputation.
"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers!"
As the Golden Light Mantra was recited, dazzling golden light emanated from Gu Qianbei's body.
With a thought, the golden light receded and condensed on his right palm.
The golden light rapidly changed in his hand, finally transforming into a feather blade.
"While the feather blade is good, it's just a technique for throwing weapons, not a proper weapon. I should learn some weaponry if I have the chance."
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then the golden light dissipated and his inner energy returned to his body.
"Little Gu, Little Gu!"
Bai Zhantang's voice came from the doorway, sounding quite anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qianbei looked up in confusion at the flustered Bai Zhantang.
"Oh no, this is bad. My identity has been exposed. That woman recognized me just now, and everyone overheard us talking. Now everyone in the inn knows I'm the Thief King."
Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow.
"this one?"
"What do you mean 'that's it'? Do you know how terrible that is? It means my happy retirement life is about to be over!"
Bai Zhantang said with a worried look on his face.
Gu Qianbei patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Take it easy, you're still alive."
"Hey! Is that how you comfort someone? Quickly, help me think of a solution."
Bai Zhantang said worriedly.
"I don't think you need to worry. Back then, you and Ji Wuming were like brothers, so Manager Tong probably already guessed that you weren't a good person."
But she still kept you, which shows that she didn't care about your identity.
Besides, you don't have a murder case on your record; it's just petty theft, nothing serious.
The most important thing to watch out for is the rumors circulating about you in the martial arts world.
The only ones who would be scared are probably the two ordinary people, Da Zui and Xiucai.
But once you've explained it clearly, they'll treat you the same as before.
"real?"
"Why would I lie to you? Look, even though I know who you are, I still treat you the same as before."
"yes!"
Bai Zhantang immediately gained confidence and returned to the inn, ready to make everyone accept this reality.
Gu Qianbei went out and bought some materials needed for brewing.
When he returned, he saw Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo practicing their swordsmanship in the courtyard.
"Junior Sister Zhiruo, your swordsmanship is superb! You've actually mastered the Nine Forms of the Golden Summit to perfection!"
