Chapter 14 My dear granddaughter, this boy is taking advantage of you.
Gu Yu offered to help, but this aroused Hua Baifeng's suspicion.
After all, she was no ordinary woman and carried a deep-seated blood feud; how could she easily accept favors from others?
The world is a dangerous place; this person probably has ulterior motives, so we must be wary.
So he politely said, "Thank you for your kindness, young hero. We are just strangers who met by chance, so I'm sorry to trouble you."
Before Gu Yu could answer, Mr. Mei Er became anxious: "Madam, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cure your cold poison..."
Just then, three men strode in.
The waiter hurried forward and asked, "What would you three gentlemen like to eat?"
"We'll talk about it later!"
The three men sat down, but did not order any food or drinks.
Immediately after, an elderly man with a ruddy complexion and wearing a gray robe walked in, followed by seven or eight people who filed in one after another, each with an unfriendly expression.
"Splash splash splash..."
The gray-robed old man twirled two round iron balls in his hands, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Gu Yu.
"Boy, you're Gu Yu, the Wind Chaser Sword?"
Gu Yu smiled: "Genuine product guaranteed, seven-day no-questions-asked return policy!"
The gray-robed elder paused, then frowned and asked, "Did you kill Shi Yaoxian?"
"You mean reaching into the coffin, desperate for money? If so, then yes!"
"Hiss~"
Hearing this amusing answer, Shen San Niang couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"court death!"
A man slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
It wouldn't be surprising if his heavy slam had shattered the table, but what was surprising was that the table didn't break; instead, all four legs sank several inches into the ground.
It is evident that his control over force far surpasses that of ordinary masters.
"Ma San, sit down!"
The old man in the gray robe raised his hand and gave a stern shout.
"snort!"
The man named Ma San gave a heavy snort and sat down again.
The old man in the gray robe looked at Gu Yu again and said slowly, "I have been traveling the martial world for many years. I am grateful to my friend for giving me the nickname 'Iron-Blooded Divine Palm'."
Gu Yu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Although I have never heard of your name before, according to the rules of the martial world, I must still say 'I have long admired you!'"
Shen San Niang couldn't help but laugh again.
"you……"
The gray-robed old man's expression changed, and he almost couldn't resist smashing the iron gall bladder in his hand towards Gu Yu's head.
"Shi Yaoxian is my disciple."
"And then?" Gu Yu asked with a smile.
"Splash splash splash..."
The old man in the gray robe spun the iron gall bladder faster and faster in his hand, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
One of the men accompanying them couldn't help but say coldly, "Kid, a life for a life, a debt for a debt!"
"However..." the gray-robed elder continued, "I can give you a chance. As long as you hand over the golden silk armor, I will let bygones be bygones!"
Gu Yu sighed: "As expected, everyone is still after the Golden Silk Armor."
The old man in the gray robe said in a righteous tone, "You're wrong. I'm doing this to kill the Plum Blossom Bandit and rid the people of this scourge!"
"The senior was truly chivalrous and a role model for us all, it's just a pity..."
Before he could finish speaking, a girl with a long braid skipped in.
"Grandpa, come in quickly, there's something interesting to see!"
"Here it comes!"
An old man smoking a pipe followed them into the restaurant.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "So it's Miss Sun, we meet again!"
"snort!"
Sun Xiaohong made a face and snorted coldly at Gu Yu.
His expression immediately changed, and he pointed at Gu Yu, exclaiming, "You...you...you..."
How did this guy know my surname is Sun?
Gu Yu winked his right eye at her again, his gaze lingering.
Sun Xiaohong was filled with shame, anxiety, and anger. She stamped her feet and said, "Grandpa, he... he bullied your granddaughter, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
The old man Tianji chuckled and said, "It's alright. He only bullied you, but there are so many people here bullying him."
Sun Xiaohong: "Pfft~ He deserved it!"
At this moment, Gu Yu smiled at the gray-robed elder and said, "Senior, I didn't have time to finish my sentence. I have already given the golden silk armor to my beautiful future wife as a token of our love—"
At this point, he pointed to Sun Xiaohong: "It's her!"
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes turned to that direction.
Sun Xiaohong stomped her feet in anger: "You, you, you...you're talking nonsense! When did you give me the golden silk armor?"
The old man with the secrets looked speechless and said, "My dear granddaughter, can't you tell he's taking advantage of you?"
Yup!
Sun Xiaohong suddenly came to her senses, and her pretty face was instantly flushed with a rosy blush.
I felt ashamed, annoyed, and angry all at once!
"You...you're shameless! Who's your future daughter-in-law?"
"Enough!" the gray-robed elder roared. "Stop putting on this act! If you don't hand over the golden silk armor today, none of you will leave here alive!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mei quickly said, "It's none of my business. I just came out to buy some soy sauce. You two can chat."
After saying that, he tried to slip away.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A burly man sitting nearby shouted and flicked his long whip, wrapping it around Mr. Mei's waist.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, a chopstick flew over, not only breaking his long whip but also causing the big man to slam into the table, shattering it into pieces instantly.
The gray-robed elder was taken aback and angrily shouted at Gu Yu, "Boy, you actually launched a sneak attack?"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "So what?"
"I threw the chopsticks."
Hua Baifeng added a sentence.
"You?" The gray-robed elder scrutinized Hua Baifeng for a moment, then asked, "May I ask how this heroine is addressed?"
"You don't deserve to know!"
"Hahaha!" The gray-robed old man laughed in fury, finally unable to hold back any longer. "Very well, it seems you're all in cahoots. Attack!"
At this moment, Afei was still sitting at the table drinking, as if none of this concerned him.
Until Hua Baifeng moved, appearing in front of the gray-robed old man as if by teleportation, a chopstick was pressed against his throat.
"Get out! I don't want to kill anyone today!"
At this moment, Afei finally looked over, his expression showing some surprise.
The gray-robed old man broke out in a cold sweat, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the iron guillotine in his hand could no longer be turned. He felt as if he had just been on the verge of death.
The restaurant was completely silent.
"Walk!"
Finally, the gray-robed old man, looking utterly defeated, squeezed out the word "go" through gritted teeth, staggered, and turned to flee.
"Sigh, this is going to be boring."
Sun Xiaohong sighed.
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets smiled and said, "There's no excitement to watch, but there's plenty to talk about."
"What's all the commotion about?"
The grandfather and grandson started talking to each other, one after the other.
"Two major events have occurred in Xingyun Village these past few days."
"Was Xingyun Manor the former home of Li Tanhua?"
"Yes! It used to be called Li Garden..."
Upon hearing the mention of Li Xunhuan, Hua Baifeng's expression shifted, and she listened intently.
The old man continued, "The first thing is that Long Siye's only son, Long Xiaoyun, was killed by someone while he was out hunting. He died from his own hidden weapon."
"Oh dear, won't Master Long be furious?"
"Of course, Master Long has already declared that as long as someone provides clues about the murderer, and the information is confirmed, he will pay a reward of 100,000 taels of silver."
"Wow!" Sun Xiaohong exclaimed, her eyes shining like a little money-grubber. "Ten thousand taels of silver?!"
"The second incident involved the Plum Blossom Thief committing another crime at Xingyun Manor, only to be ambushed and caught red-handed!"
Sun Xiaohong clapped her hands and laughed: "Great! Who exactly is that Plum Blossom Thief?"
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets sighed and said, "Many people may not believe it, but this Plum Blossom Thief is actually a famous figure known throughout the land—Little Li, the Scholar!"
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Baifeng slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"Nonsense! How could Li Tanhua be the Plum Blossom Thief?"
