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

With Huayang Acupuncture Technique unleashed at full power, the millennia-old chill within Su Xin's body was quickly dispersed into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qianbei struck Su Xin on the back with a palm strike, unleashing a torrent of powerful pure Yang energy.

Golden Light Curse!

A burst of brilliant golden light erupted from Gu Qianbei and then transferred to Su Xin.

Soon, Su Xin's cold body began to warm up.

Having achieved this, Su Xin's physical body has almost returned to the state it was in twenty years ago when Zhu Wushi had just shattered her meridians.

The next step is to revive the patient and reconnect all the severed meridians.

This step is beyond his medical skills; it requires a miracle.

Gu Qianbei put down Su Xin, and then a golden light spell condensed into two wine cups.

Cang Guanghu poured out two cups of wine in turn.

A cup of Night Rain Rejuvenates, helping the pure heart to rebuild its meridians; a cup of Golden Wave Frost Wine Awakens the Pure Heart.

After two cups of wine, Su Xin's originally pale face gradually turned rosy.

The rich aroma of wine permeated the entire room.

"What a fragrant wine!"

Cheng Shifei twitched his nose and couldn't help but sigh.

As a petty hoodlum, he has traveled all over the country over the years, visited many places, and seen many good things.

But he had never smelled such a fragrant wine before.

Even Gu Santong was fascinated by the aroma of the wine and was quite surprised.

"This kid really has a lot of good stuff on him."

But can these wines really save Su Xin?

Gu Santong was somewhat worried.

But soon, his worries disappeared.

Because Su Xin's fingers started to move.

"Dad! Mom's finger seemed to move just now!"

Cheng Shifei saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

"Pure Heart!"

Gu Santong naturally saw it too, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, while looking at Gu Qianbei.

Gu Qianbei then put away the golden wine cup in his hand and said with a smile, "The treatment is over."

Su Xin's health is improving rapidly, and she should wake up soon.

Please wait here for a while. I'll go to the inn next door to order some porridge so that Miss Suxin can have some after she wakes up.

Her digestive system is very weak right now, so she can only eat liquid foods for the time being.

"Okay, thank you!"

Gu Santong was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He knew he would soon be able to see the living, breathing Su Xin.

"It's nothing."

Gu Qianbei smiled and then left the room.

Gu Santong immediately sat down at the head of Su Xin's bed and took her warm little hand in his.

"Suxin, please wake up soon. My husband and I haven't seen each other for twenty years. I miss you so much."

As Gu Santong spoke, this strong man's eyes reddened, and he almost shed tears.

"father……"

Cheng Shifei was deeply moved when he saw this, and immediately grasped Su Xin's other hand.

"Mother, Father and I miss you so much. Please wake up soon."

Cheng Shifei had always felt unlucky, but recently he felt his luck had turned around.

He was first rescued from prison by his own father, then learned martial arts with him, and even met his own mother.

The only regret is that her biological mother is a living dead and has not yet woken up.

If his mother woke up, he would feel like the happiest person in the world.

In the original timeline, Cheng Shifei was left with only his wife; his parents were gone.

With Gu Qianbei's intervention, although he lost his wife, he regained both his parents.

I don't know which one he thinks is better.

At this moment, Su Xin's eyelids twitched slightly, and then she slowly opened them.

Those eyes were empty.

But within those empty eyes lay twenty years of profound changes.

How many twenty-year periods does one have in a lifetime?

The only good thing is that Su Xin's time seems to have frozen; she still looks the same as she did back then, and time has not left a single trace on her face.

"Pure Heart!"

Gu Santong's voice pulled Su Xin back from her confusion. She turned to look at Gu Santong, her eyes filled with joy and doubt.

"Santong... how come you've gotten so old?"

Su Xin was puzzled by the white hair on Gu Santong's face.

The last time I saw Gu Santong, he was still a young man, his eyes full of carefree youthful spirit.

But now, Gu Santong has a lot more white hair, his face looks much older, and even the youthful spirit in his eyes has faded.

"Twenty years have passed, how can I not age?"

Gu Santong said with tears in his eyes.

"Twenty years? What twenty years?"

Su Xin did not understand.

"You've been in a coma for twenty years. That day on Mount Tian, ​​during my battle with Old Pig, you suddenly appeared and took half a palm strike from Old Pig. Do you remember?"

That half-slap ruptured all the meridians in your body.

If it weren't for the old pig's heavenly fragrance of cardamom, which saved your life, you would already be reincarnated by now.

"What?"

Upon learning about what happened back then from Gu Santong, Su Xin was immediately shocked.

"Where's the mirror?"

After Su Xin realized what was happening, she immediately started looking for a mirror.

She wanted to know what she looked like now.

Cheng Shifei quickly placed the mirror in front of Suxin.

"Mom, you're still as beautiful as a twenty-year-old girl, you don't look old at all."

Cheng Shifei said with a grin.

Seeing that the mirror in the mirror was indeed the same as she remembered, Su Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she realize that the young man in front of her was calling her "mother".

"Are you my son?"

Su Xin looked at Cheng Shifei in surprise, and then the feeling of mother and son being of one heart instantly surged up.

That feeling can't be wrong.

He is my own child.

"Mother! It's me! Father found me, and he found you too. Our family is finally reunited."

Cheng Shifei was so excited that he hugged Su Xin tightly.

From a young age, he had wondered what it felt like to be held in his mother's arms, and now he knows.

It was a very warm feeling.

Su Xin looked at the excited Cheng Shifei in her arms, her surprise turning into a smile.

"Good child, you must have had a very hard time these past few years."

"Wow!"

Upon hearing Su Xin's words, Cheng Shifei burst into tears.

He can be very strong, or he can be very vulnerable.

In front of his mother, whom he had been waiting for for so long, he could freely express his vulnerability.

This feeling is wonderful.

"You little brat! Stop crying! You've been holding Suxin for ages! I haven't even held her yet!"

Gu Santong, however, pushed Cheng Shifei aside with dissatisfaction and embraced Su Xin himself.

"Dad! How can you be so stingy!"

Cheng Shifei immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Go away! If you're so capable, go find yourself a wife. What's the point of hugging my wife?"

Gu Santong glared at Cheng Shifei, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Su Xin was both amused and exasperated to see the father and son like this.

They both seem like children.

"Santong, what exactly has happened over the years? Tell me all about it."

Su Xin said softly.

"Okay, let's talk slowly. We have plenty of time now. I also have a lot to say to you."

Gu Santong said with a smile.

Twenty years have passed, allowing him to re-examine his relationship with Su Xin.

He missed out on so much back then because of his personality, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to make up for it.

Seeing the deep love in Gu Santong's eyes, Su Xin felt incredibly warm.

This feeling is wonderful.

Inside the room, the family of three were enjoying a sweet moment together. Gu Qianbei had already arrived at Tongfu Inn and ordered a porridge set meal.

"Old Bai, have Big Mouth make some vegetable porridge, but with less salt! It's for the patient."

"Okay! I'll go tell them right away."

Bai Zhantang immediately went to the kitchen and then came back.

"Xiao Gu, who are those three people? Why are you so concerned about them?"

Bai Zhantang was full of curiosity.

"Of course he's someone important. That middle-aged man was a legendary figure twenty years ago. Guess who he is?"

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"A formidable figure twenty years ago?"

Bai Zhantang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"There are many famous people in the martial arts world, but now that you mention it, I really can't think of any."

Besides, I was only a kid twenty years ago, and all I knew were things my mother told me.

"I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

Bai Zhantang patted his chest and said confidently.

Gu Qianbei leaned close to Bai Zhantang's ear and said, "He is the invincible rascal Gu Santong."

"What?!"

Bai Zhantang was immediately shocked, and all the guests around him turned to look.

Gu Qianbei gave Bai Zhantang a disdainful look, and Bai Zhantang gave an awkward smile and cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.

"Sorry, sorry, I got a little excited. It's okay, everyone, have a good meal and drinks!"

After Bai Zhantang finished speaking, he pulled Gu Qianbei to the backyard.

"You mean that great demon from twenty years ago? The legendary Gu Santong, the invincible rascal who killed countless masters from the eight major sects?"

Wasn't he defeated by the Iron-Blooded Marquis and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?

Bai Zhantang asked in surprise.

He was also very excited to be facing such a legendary figure in the martial arts world.

"Yes, it was him. He was indeed imprisoned in the imperial jail, but I released him, didn't I?"

Gu Qianbei laughed.

"My God! Xiao Gu, you're going too far. You dare to release the people from Tie Dan Shen Hou Guan?"

Aren't you afraid of being dealt with by the Iron-Blooded Marquis?

And he's an invincible brat! What if he goes crazy?

Bai Zhantang was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, he's an invincible child, not an invincible madman. He doesn't kill indiscriminately."

Furthermore, you should know best how outrageous these rumors are, right?

You're practically a master thief, almost a legendary figure!

Gu Qianbei complained.

Bai Zhantang gave an awkward smile and said, "That's true. Rumors in the martial arts world can be deadly."

But what are you really thinking?

How did you manage to rescue him?

Bai Zhantang didn't understand.

"I was asked to do this, and the atmosphere was right, so I just went along with it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang immediately gave a thumbs up.

"It still has to be you. You talk about rescuing people from the prison like it's nothing, like going to the market to buy vegetables."

What level have you reached in martial arts?

Bai Zhantang was very curious.

"It's enough."

"When I asked you if your martial arts skills were good or bad, you replied that they were enough. Tsk tsk, you're trying to scare me to death."

After Bai Zhantang finished complaining, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately put on a serious face.

"Um, Xiao Gu, did you encounter a prisoner named Bai Cuiping in the prison?"

She must have had her tendons severed; it must have been horribly bad.

"Is Bai Cuiping your mother?"

"Yes. Years ago, she was arrested by the Six Doors and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."

I went to the capital a few years ago, intending to find her in the imperial prison, but I never had the chance to sneak in.

The Heavenly Prison was impregnable; my cultivation level at the time was simply insufficient to enter and rescue people.

I was at my wit's end; I could only watch helplessly as she suffered inside.

Bai Zhantang sighed.

He has always felt guilty about this.

After all, as a son, seeing his mother in such a miserable state and being powerless to help, how could he not be sad?

"I think your mother is quite unreasonable towards you."

Gu Qianbei couldn't help but complain.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Bai Zhantang didn't understand.

Do you know your mother's true identity?

"Her real identity? Isn't she just a petty thief? I learned all my thieving skills from her."

Bai Zhantang looked puzzled.

"Your mother taught you light-footed skills, pressure point techniques, tracking and counter-tracking—do you think that's the kind of skill a thief should have?"

Gu Qianbei looked at Bai Zhantang with disdain; this man was indeed a bit slow-witted in some ways.

"Huh? Isn't that right? Aren't these all professional skills for thieves?"

Bai Zhantang was even more puzzled.

"Don't you think that's more like the skills of a constable?"

Bai Zhantang slapped his forehead.

"Yeah, it does look a lot like a constable. But we thieves need to master this skill too, otherwise how can we deal with the constables?"

"How stupid! What mother would train her son to be a thief from the very beginning?"

She clearly wanted to train you to be a constable, but who knew you'd be so disappointing and become a notorious thief in the martial arts world.

"That won't work either. My mother was a petty thief from the Sunflower School. Even if I became a constable, I wouldn't pass the imperial court's review, would I?"

"Is it possible that your mother isn't a petty thief, but someone from the Six Doors (a government agency)?"

"what?"

Bai Zhantang was shocked.

He looked at Gu Qianbei and asked seriously, "Little Gu, what exactly do you know?"

"There is no prisoner named Bai Cuiping in the Imperial Prison, but there is a secret envoy named Bai Cuiping in the Six Doors."

"What! My mother is a hook?"

Bai Zhantang exclaimed in shock.

"Keep your voice down! People will hear you! And if your mother finds out you called her 'Hook,' she'll definitely slap you."

Gu Qianbei complained.

Bai Zhantang quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Xiao Gu, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could my mother be a hook?"

"Of course not. I only found out by chance."

Moreover, you'll understand once you think about it.

Xiao Guo is the daughter of Guo Juxia. She works as a handyman at the inn. Do you think he won't investigate the inn's situation?

Your identity isn't some top secret; Master Guo would have found it out immediately.

Do you think he wouldn't send someone to arrest you if you didn't have connections?

This obviously means they have a connection with your mother.

"This... if you put it that way, it really is true. Does this mean I've become a second-generation official too?"

Bai Zhantang was both surprised and delighted, and his face was filled with disbelief.

This change in identity happened so fast!

"Your mother probably knows you're at Tongfu Inn, and she might come looking for you in a while."

Then you can have a detailed conversation with her about your emotional journey over the years.

Gu Qianbei smiled and patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder before turning and leaving.

Bai Zhantang snapped out of his daze and slapped himself.

"This isn't a dream! Oh my god, if this were real, you'd be in deep trouble!"
