The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Shi Gu smiled when he heard this, spread out his palms, shrugged slightly, and spoke softly.

"I am indeed not afraid of Zong Mingfu, but I cannot kill Shen Zhongyi. He can only be killed by Yue'er herself."

"If not, even if the great revenge is achieved, there will still be the risk of leaving a knot in my heart, and it will be difficult to enter the ninth-grade martial realm in the future, let alone become an innate realm."

Hearing this, Dan Xiu was shocked and looked at Shi Gu with a surprised look and said.

"Do you really expect Shen Yue to enter the Xiantian realm?"

"Are you awake?"

Shi Gu met Dan Xiu's gaze and spoke briefly.

"She has great talent, even higher than yours. Coupled with this unique skill of Yuan Mo Da Hua, it is not impossible for her to enter the Xiantian realm."

"Since there is this glimmer of hope, I need to consider her future."

Upon hearing this, Dan Xiu curled her lips, as if she was quite dissatisfied with the statement that Shen Yue's talent was higher than hers, and muttered in a low voice.

"So what if she is talented? Can you still drag Shen Zhongyi until Shen Yue enters the ninth level of martial arts? It's too far-fetched to ask her to kill Shen Zhongyi with her own hands."

"If you ask me, you'd better take Shen Yue to a remote place to hide now..."

A dark light flashed in Shi Gu's eyes. He leaned forward slightly and spoke softly to Dan Xiu.

"I don't have to wait until Yue'er enters the ninth level of martial arts. I just need to make Shen Zhongyi's realm fall."

Dan Xiu was startled when she heard this, her pupils shrank slightly. She looked at Shi Gu, moved her lips, and asked softly.

"Is this kind of thing...really possible?"

Shi Gu slowly sat up straight and spoke lightly.

"There will always be a way."

Shi Gu was unwilling to say, so Dan Xiu stopped asking and just thought of the original question again.

"Eh, that's not right."

"Didn't I ask you at the beginning how you obtained the Yuan Mo Da Fa? How did you get to this messed up question?"

"Tell me quickly, how did you get the Yuan Mo Da Fa?"

Shi Gu pretended not to hear anything. He stood up and continued to prepare his own package. Dan Xiu became furious upon seeing this. He stood up and kicked Shi Gu.

Bang! Shi Gu didn't dodge or evade, and was kicked on the butt by Dan Xiu. Both of them were stunned at the same time. Shi Gu turned around in surprise and looked at Dan Xiu, while Dan Xiu was also stunned, surprised that he could actually kick Shi Gu.

"goodbye!"

After a brief eye contact, Dan Xiu was the first to react. He said goodbye, turned around and ran away. Then Shi Gu also came to his senses, became furious, rolled up his sleeves and chased after him.

"Fuck you, I'm going to make you feel good tonight!"

For a moment, there was chaos in the basement. Dan Xiu ran and Shi Gu chased him, but the two seemed to have forgotten their skills and chased each other back and forth around the boxes on the floor of the basement like ordinary people.

A little head popped out from the entrance above the basement. Shen Yue looked at the two people who were chasing each other, tilted her head slightly, and muttered to herself in a confused manner.

“Is this the flirting that’s written in the books?”

……

The next day, it was dawn.

In the early morning, many people gathered in front of the antique shop, going in and out, carrying boxes of various sizes. Dan Xiu pulled Shen Yue and sat in the shop, but Shi Gu had long disappeared.

Perhaps out of boredom, Shen Yue asked Dan Xiu curiously.

"Sister Danxiu, what is Tongtian Tower?"

Dan Xiu looked at the people coming and going, suppressing the desire to cross his legs, and spoke softly.

"Tongtian Tower is a place for buying and selling information. However, it is also a unique place in the martial arts world."

"For so many years, no one knows how many people there are in Tongtian Tower and what cards they are hiding. They seem to know everything. Most of the news, big or small, in the underworld can be bought from them."

"For example, the fact that your cheap master saved you should have been known by the people in Tsutenkaku."

Hearing this, Shen Yue opened her mouth in surprise and asked.

"Is Tsutenkaku so powerful?"

Dan Xiu lazily raised his finger and pointed at a tofu vendor who was selling tofu not far away on the street.

"Look, that vendor has been selling tofu around here for three years, rain or shine, but his business is terrible."

"But after these three years, he hasn't lost any weight, and he's even gained a lot of weight. How do you think he's still alive today?"

Without waiting for Shen Yue to answer, Dan Xiu continued speaking.

"Because he is from Tongtian Pavilion, responsible for investigating the news of Shi Gu, and he is not really here to sell tofu. The reason why he made such a poor disguise is also intentional. It can be regarded as a kind of attitude of Tongtian Pavilion."

“We’re watching you.”

"That's pretty much what they mean."

Shen Yue seemed to understand what he said and nodded slightly, then turned her head to look at the tofu vendor.

Just at this moment, a passerby walked up to the vendor and asked him.

"How much do you sell this tofu?"

The vendor didn't even look at the person coming towards him. He cut a piece of tofu with a kitchen knife, stuffed it into his mouth, and spoke while chewing.

"This tofu is not for sale. Go to another store."

The passerby was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't ask any questions and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, he hadn't taken a few steps before he heard the hawker behind him shouting.

"Selling tofu, selling tofu."

The passerby suddenly turned around, looked at the vendor, twisted his mouth and shouted.

"No, do you sell tofu or not?"

Upon hearing this, the vendor immediately rolled his eyes and replied.

"Don't you understand? This tofu is not for sale."

The passerby was very surprised and was about to speak when he heard the hawker shouting again.

"Selling tofu, selling tofu."

"Hey, you fucking ..."

Chapter 30: Tsutenkaku (Part 2)

Shifang Mountain got its name because the mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles like a leaping dragon’s spine. The mountain is covered with dense forests and tangled branches and leaves, and it is not supposed to be inhabited. However, several stone steps have been built in the mountain leading directly to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, there are pavilions and houses, with countless people walking around. This is the Tongtian Tower, which is famous in the world.

At noon that day, Wang Tianlai, deputy head of Tongtian Pavilion, sat at a long table, holding a cup of tea, silent, just looking at the waterfall pouring down outside the window.

There was another man sitting opposite Wang Tianlai, with a burly build and dark skin, like an iron tower. The man had a broad eyelid and a heroic air, but for some reason he was shirtless, revealing his muscles.

"Deputy Pavilion Master, can you do the business I mentioned?"

Listening to the sturdy man's question, Wang Tianlai's eyes were full of bitterness. He put down the teacup, shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

"Lord Jin, it's not that I, Tongtian Pavilion, don't want to do this business, but the hero Shigu had already bought out all his information before he retired."

"In business, it's always about first come first served, isn't it?"

The sturdy man who was called the city lord heard this, his expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly.

"I'll pay ten thousand taels."

Wang Tianlai was determined and did not waver at all. He waved his hand gently and said.

"This is not about money, but about the credibility of our Tongtian Pavilion. City Lord Jin should just give up on this idea."

The sturdy man leaned forward slightly and spoke again indifferently.

"I'm talking about 10,000 ounces of gold."

"hiss……"

Wang Tianlai sucked in a breath of cold air, and his face turned ugly. It's not like Tongtian Pavilion has never seen a price of 10,000 taels of gold before, but such business is rare in a year, and the requirements this time are extremely low, just the location of the bones.

Damn it, why did he agree to do the bone-releasing business in the first place? Now he is really at a big loss.

"City Lord Jin, this is really not about money..."

Wang Tianlai rejected the strong man with great pain. The reputation of Tongtian Pavilion was the foundation of the sect and it was impossible to destroy it for ten thousand taels of gold.

Seeing this, the strong man finally frowned, sat there silently, and said nothing.

Wang Tianlai naturally didn't want to let it end like this, so he continued speaking to the burly man.

"Lord Jin, you are already here. You can't make this trip in vain."

"I must have some news that may interest you. Why don't you consider it more carefully?"

The sturdy man neither agreed nor refused, but just sat there, his eyes full of thought.

Seeing this, Wang Tianlai did not press on, but stood up, bowed, and spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Jin, the guest in the next room has been waiting for me for a long time. You can think about it slowly. I will go take care of the guest next door first."

After saying that, Wang Tianlai turned around and left. Although it was a bit rude, it was the norm in Tongtian Pavilion and no one cared.

Wang Tianlai walked out of the room and took a few steps to the left, his face full of regret.

Including today's Lord Jin, I don't know how many people have offered a sky-high price of ten thousand taels of gold to buy information about Shi Gu. The business that was done with Shi Gu was really a big loss.

Thinking of this, Wang Tianlai pushed the door open and looked up, only to see a strange man he had never seen before, waiting in the room with a big package.

Wang Tianlai was stunned when he saw this. Tongtian Pavilion has branches in various places, and ordinary guests cannot come directly to the main branch. Moreover, not everyone can enter the Ten Directions Mountains, so how did this strange man in front of him sit here?

"Excuse my ignorance, I don't know what to call you?"

Wang Tianlai did not lose his manners and bowed to ask the stranger about his origins. The stranger smiled when he heard it, then put his hands on his ears, grabbed his face and gently lifted it up.

Hiss... a human skin mask was gently peeled off, revealing the face of Shi Gu underneath the mask.

Wang Tianlai's eyelids jumped and he quickly turned around and closed the door.

Damn it, Jincheng next door knows that Shigu is right next door to him, and he is probably going to kill him directly. How could this bastard Shigu be so good at choosing the time?

After closing the door, Wang Tianlai turned around and looked at Shi Gu. Although he was filled with hatred, he still had to put on an appearance of meeting old friends.

"Master Shi, long time no see, how are you these days?"

Shi Gu smiled gently, stood up, bowed to Wang Tianlai, and said.

"It's OK. I just missed Pavilion Master Wang a little, so I came to see you today."

Wang Tianlai strode forward, asked Shi Gu to sit down, then stretched out his right hand to pull the red rope on the table. Without any sound, a servant pushed the door open and came in, waiting for Wang Tianlai's instructions.

"Xiao Qi, go make a pot of good tea."

The servant nodded in agreement when he heard this. Just as he was about to leave, Shi Gu suddenly spoke up and called out to the servant.

"Wait a minute, please heat up a bowl of rice and a braised bear paw."

Hearing this, the servant was stunned and looked at Wang Tianle at a loss. Wang Tianle was not surprised and just waved his hand, signaling the servant to do as he was told.

"Oh, by the way, I'd like to order another portion of braised spareribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Buddha jumps over the wall, five-flavor duck, and three-way fish."

“Don’t put sugar in the sweet and sour pork.”

Hearing this, Wang Tianlai's face twitched slightly, and he forced himself to resist the urge to slap him.

No, is this Shigu here to eat at a restaurant today? Does he really know what business Tsutenkaku is doing?

After Shi Gu listed a series of dishes, he looked at Wang Tianlai shyly and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Feel sorry."

"I hurried here overnight. My stomach is about to revolt. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Manager Wang."

Wang Tianlai didn't want to say anything more, so he waved for the boy to leave. Tired, he no longer pretended to be polite and asked Shi Gu straight to the point.

"Master Shi, you came to my Tongtian Pavilion today to inquire about something?"

Shi Gu's expression became serious, he stopped making jokes and asked directly.

"I want information about Zong Mingfu."
