Chapter 76: Robbing on the Road, the Brave Wins

"As a person with a hidden pulse, the first thing is to hide your identity." Chen Guanlou continued to approach. "You seem to have been looking for the things Luo Jingtian left behind; what exactly are you looking for?"

"Since you are a hidden pulse, then this matter has nothing to do with you. Let today's matter pass." Tail B was very smart; since he couldn't beat him, he ran. Retreating at extreme speed, he had confidence in his light kung fu.

"Want to run? Did you ask me?"

As the words fell, Chen Guanlou had already blocked in front of Tail B, three feet away, one slash could behead the other party.

Tail B was clearly frightened; such fast body technique, he didn't even see how the other party came to his side.

What was even more terrifying was the broadsword in the other party's hand—fast, such a fast blade technique. He hadn't even seen the other party's blade path clearly, and his companion had already lost his life.

Could this be the strength of a hidden pulse?

Then, how many ranks does this old man in front of him have? Definitely more than Second-Rank, Third-Rank, Fourth-Rank, or Fifth-Rank?

Chen Guanlou:...

He himself didn't know exactly what rank of strength he was equivalent to. He was still secretly groping, judging his own strength by competing with others.

Two tails, although both were Second-Rank martial artists, clearly hadn't reached the Second-Rank peak perfection realm, so he could so easily solve one of them. The remaining one, he wanted to ask questions, so he kept him until now.

"Speak, what exactly are you looking for?"

Tail B clearly realized that today's matter could not be good.

His eyeballs turned around, while delaying, while thinking of a way to escape. "We are looking for a secret manual."

"What secret manual?" Chen Guanlou asked with interest. Although he knew the other party was talking about the "Ascension Record," it didn't prevent him from wanting to understand the origin of the "Ascension Record."

A mere Luo Jingtian, why would he have such a profound secret manual? What exactly is the origin? The two tails met today proved that there were more people in the world who knew about the "Ascension Record" than him. This is very dangerous!

How can his own secrets be known to others?

Must strangle it!

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" Chen Guanlou stared fixedly at the other party, observing his eyes and expressions, not like he was lying. "You don't know, but you still guarded around Luo Jingtian's grave?"

"I only know that Luo Jingtian had a heaven-shaking secret manual in his hands. It is said that after practicing it, martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds, as if reborn, changing the sky and the sun, and can also break through the limits of bone, and it is very likely to step into the Grandmaster realm. What is even more powerful is that it can also hide cultivation."

"Such a powerful secret manual, why didn't Luo Jingtian practice it?"

"He didn't dare."

"Why?"

"Because the secret manual was not his in the first place; he walked on dog shit luck and picked up a big bargain. It's just a pity that he died too early."

Chen Guanlou continued to pursue: "How do you know so much news, how do you determine that the secret manual in Luo Jingtian's hands can make people reborn and step into the Grandmaster realm?"

"Everyone says so."

"Who are the everyone you are talking about?"

This time, Tail B tightly closed his mouth. "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you a word."

Chen Guanlou:...

Don't tell, don't tell, it's no big deal.

He asked again: "How do you know the secret manual is in Luo Jingtian's hands? Before Luo Jingtian was locked in the Heavenly Prison, he didn't hide, and he didn't look like someone who had a secret manual."

"We naturally have evidence to be sure that the secret manual is in Luo Jingtian's hands. Why didn't he hide? Perhaps he didn't know the value of the secret manual in his hands at all, and how much confusion it would cause once announced."

"You knew it. Can I ask what your background is?"

"I won't tell you."

"Hey..."

Chen Guanlou sighed. "You say you, why don't you cooperate well?"

Sword out, person dies!

Two Second-Rank martial artists, both died!

As usual, search the body.

Another two ordinary-looking Jianghu men with no identity, still poor ghosts. The two added together only had a dozen taels of silver.

Dig a pit, bury the corpse!

Bamboo hats, two swords that were not bad, all buried in the pit.

He will not leave any clues that can be traced. Every swordsman's sword has the swordsman's personal characteristics. This is walking murder evidence, useless to keep, burying is the correct way to handle it.

Cover up the traces, return to the city!

Killing people, once raw, twice cooked. Believe that it won't be long before he can become a regular customer. If someone asks him why he is so skilled? He can answer a sentence: Nothing else, just hand-skilled!

When entering the city, he met his eldest sister's father-in-law, Su Dacheng, and didn't collect his head tax.

"Little Lou is back from going out!"

"Well, went out of the city to handle some things, just came back. Su Yinbo hasn't finished his shift yet?"

"On duty today, won't finish until tomorrow morning. Have time to sit at home, your sister misses you very much."

"Which day is Su Yinbo resting, I will bring a pot of wine and sit at your house."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

After chatting for a few words, Chen Guanlou said goodbye and left.

Su Dacheng had two sons, the eldest son was also on duty at the city gate, because he had read books, he was a tax clerk. The second son, Chen Guanlou's brother-in-law, opened a cheap teahouse near the city gate, pulling guests directly from the city gate, and the business was quite good.

He didn't go to his brother-in-law's teahouse, but turned to the market to buy wine, bought a few pounds of pig head meat, sent it to the Su family. Also separately sealed a bag of silver, secretly gave it to his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan.

Su Pozi saw him carrying wine and meat to the door, and that mean face rarely showed a smile. When she learned that Chen Guanlou didn't stay for dinner, she laughed from ear to ear.

He and his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan talked alone in the room and gave the silver to his eldest sister.

Chen Xiaolan didn't pretend, and after receiving the silver, she began to nag: "You earn money easily now, you should save it. You haven't married a wife yet, and this pulse of the Chen family depends on you to open branches and scatter leaves. What kind of girl do you want to find, I can arrange it for you. You are not young anymore, you can't mess around anymore. Last time your brother-in-law told me that you often go in and out of brothels with other prison guards. That place is okay for occasional entertainment, how can you stay there for a long time. It's still necessary to marry a wife home."

Chen Guanlou only felt his head buzzing, very noisy. "Big sister, don't worry about my affairs, I don't have the idea of getting married for the time being, it's not too late to be a few years late."

Chen Xiaolan suddenly got angry. "A few years late, how late? I see you are clearly rich, your heart has become wild, you have already looked down on the girls of good families, and you are hooked by the charming bitches in the brothel. I tell you, looking at women, don't just look at the face, virtue is the most important. Are you listening to me?"

"Sister, how is Su Pozi treating you now? Will she still treat you harshly like before?" Chen Guanlou decisively changed the subject.

Sure enough, when mentioning her mother-in-law, Chen Xiaolan's attention was diverted. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
