Chapter 7

~9 min read 1,607 words

When Gu Hanyuan raised his cultivation to the Early Innate Stage, he could clearly feel that the true qi in his body was like a stream turning into a rushing river, not only growing several times stronger but also spontaneously impacting the Ren and Du meridians.

The whole process was very smooth, as if gently poking through a layer of membrane, breaking through the limitations of the Ren and Du meridians.

Once the Ren and Du meridians were broken through, it was as if the bridge between heaven and earth had been connected. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to enter the Du meridian from the Baihui acupoint, flowed to the Huiyin acupoint, then walked a circle from the Ren meridian to turn into true qi, and finally converged into the dantian.

The Innate Realm lived up to its name; the true qi was directly converted from the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which was much faster and much purer than absorbing the energy in the body during the Acquired Realm.

The movement of Gu Hanyuan's breakthrough was very small, and Zhang Cuishan and others in the same courtyard did not notice it at all.

After breaking through to the Early Innate Stage, Gu Hanyuan only had 750 Villain Points left. The remaining Villain Points would be left for a few days later to perfect the plan.

Gu Hanyuan did not continue to waste time cultivating true qi; anyway, as long as he earned Villain Points, it was not difficult to improve his cultivation realm. Besides, who cultivates seriously if they are a decent person? Gu Hanyuan said that although he is a villain, cuts the protagonist's leeks, and threatens Yin Susu, he is still a decent person.

At this time, the courtyard suddenly began to become noisy.

Gu Hanyuan went out and saw that it was Yin Susu, whom he hadn't seen for several hours, who had come; she was currently talking to Zhang Cuishan and others, hiding the guilt for Zhang Cuishan completely in her heart, without revealing a trace.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Yin Susu, who had a rosy complexion, a delicate and dripping face, and was wearing a peach-red dress, looking much younger than yesterday, and revealed a satisfied smile.

At this time, Zhang Cuishan and others were surprised by the change in Yin Susu's complexion. She fobbed them off with the excuse that she had been worried and scared for the past few days, but finally had a good sleep last night.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan from the corner of her eye, Yin Susu felt tight. Looking at the satisfied smile on his face, she felt a little ashamed and angry. Then she quickly relaxed, pretending not to see him, and did not even interrupt the conversation.

Gu Hanyuan sighed at Yin Susu's calmness and steadiness; she was indeed the demon sect enchantress who was famous in the Jianghu back then. If she could be used by him in the future, she could help a lot.

After simple pleasantries, Yin Susu went straight to the point.

"Third Brother Yu, can we talk alone?"

If things went smoothly, it couldn't be hidden at all. After all, Yu Daiyan had been crippled for many years, and the shattered bones of his four limbs had long grown crooked; when treating with Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, it was inevitable to crush the broken bones and reconnect them. The movement at that time would definitely not be small. Rather than being sneaky, it was better to be open and honest from the beginning.

Yu Daiyan's face began to look bad when he saw Yin Susu coming, and he remained silent, pretending not to see her. He thought for a whole night last night; although he was resentful, he had to force himself to endure it for the sake of brotherhood. He never expected that Yin Susu would take the initiative to come to the door and propose to talk alone.

Since she chose to talk alone, what they talked about must be what happened back then; Yu Daiyan also wanted to know the ins and outs of what happened back then; otherwise, he would not be able to close his eyes even if he died after these ten years of crippled life.

After Yu Daiyan agreed, several disciples waiting on the side carried him into the room, and Yin Susu followed closely, ignoring Zhang Cuishan's puzzled inquiry.

When the disciples who carried Yu Daiyan into the room went out and closed the door, the entire courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Cuishan and others couldn't help but look at each other.

Gu Hanyuan observed the situation in the field with interest; although there would be no accidents in general, he was also curious about what kind of situation it would eventually evolve into.

After a long time, Yu Daiyan's crying suddenly came from his room. There was both grief and indignation, but more of it was relief.

Zhang Cuishan and others were curious about what the two would talk about; hearing Yu Daiyan's crying at this time, they could no longer sit still and immediately broke into the room.

They saw Yu Daiyan lying on the recliner, closing his eyes and crying, while Yin Susu was holding a medicine bottle in her hand, looking guilty.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, never expecting that Yu Daiyan, who usually endured the pain of being crippled like a tough guy, would cry so weakly.

"Susu, what did you say to Third Brother?"

Zhang Cuishan knew it must be because of what Yin Susu said that led to the current scene.

Yin Susu had no choice but to tell what she had said to Yu Daiyan before again.

"Fifth Brother, there is another story about the Dragon-Slaying Saber back then; I came to explain the truth to Third Brother Yu. Back then, the Heaven Eagle Sect received news that Third Brother Yu had obtained the Dragon-Slaying Saber, so they planned to seize it... Later, Third Brother Yu was poisoned by my Mosquito Needle. I didn't want to offend the Wudang Sect at the time, so I asked Du Dajin of the Longmen Security Bureau to escort Third Brother Yu back to Mount Wudang. I never expected that he would be attacked on the way, leading to Third Brother Yu having his four limbs broken by the Great Strength Vajra Finger..."

Zhang Cuishan's eyes were already filled with tears when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief.

"Susu! I didn't expect that it was you who caused Third Brother to be crippled for many years!"

This was the first time Yin Susu had been scolded loudly since she married Zhang Cuishan. Looking at the entanglement and more despair in Zhang Cuishan's eyes, she knew that if things went according to the original development, the ending would definitely be as Gu Hanyuan said. The guilt she felt for Zhang Cuishan last night had actually calmed down a lot.

Yin Susu endured the sadness and told the truth that Gu Hanyuan had said.

"After returning to the Central Plains, we first returned to the Heaven Eagle Sect. Because what happened back then involved me, my father and brother have been investigating the truth. Finally, we learned that the one who attacked Third Brother Yu was a member of the Western Regions Jin Gang Gate. The martial arts of the Western Regions Jin Gang Gate were all stolen from Shaolin, and they are good at hard arts like the Great Strength Jin Gang Finger and Great Strength Jin Gang Palm. Back then, it was they who attacked Third Brother Yu and used the Great Strength Jin Gang Finger to break his four limbs. It was to provoke a fight between the Heaven Eagle Sect and the Wu Dangpai. Because the Western Regions Jin Gang Gate was backed by the Prince Ruyang's mansion of the Mongol Yuan, including the Dragon-Slaying Saber, it was all a conspiracy they intended to provoke disputes in the Ming Guo Wu Lin."

Yin Susu told the truth in one breath. Although some lies about the Heaven Eagle Sect were added. The Heaven Eagle Sect did investigate the truth, but in fact, there was no progress at all; after all, although the Heaven Eagle Sect had great power within the Ming Guo, its hands could not reach the Mongol Yuan.

"Western Regions Jin Gang Gate? No wonder Shaolin has been denying what happened back then all these years. I didn't expect there to be such an inside story."

Song Yuanqiao's expression was solemn; for so many years, Yu Daiyan's matter had been his heart disease, and he had also formed a grudge with Shaolin because of this, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.

"Prince Ruyang's mansion, Western Regions Jin Gang Gate, this revenge must be avenged."

Mo Shenggu was young and energetic, impatient as fire; after knowing the truth, the first thing he thought of was to avenge Yu Daiyan. But fortunately, he was reasonable and did not bring Yin Susu into it; after all, she had kindly wanted to send Yu Daiyan back to Mount Wudang back then.

"So, was it also you, Susu, who wiped out the entire Longmen Security Bureau back then?"

After hearing the truth, the despair in Zhang Cuishan's eyes lessened a little, but no matter what, Yu Daiyan's paralysis could not be separated from Yin Susu. And because the wiping out of the Longmen Security Bureau also caused trouble for the Wu Dangpai, Shaolin used this as an excuse to pressure Wu Dang several times.
