Chapter 115: I have long been an invisible man

It is said that the Hua family's property in the south is so vast that one couldn't finish riding a horse across it in a day.

Gu Qing stood before the gate, watching Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou walk out together. It had been over a month since the peak of the Forbidden City. After Lu Xiaofeng and Gu Qing exchanged martial arts, he had come to the south early to find Hua Manlou, while Gu Qing had stayed in the capital for a period of time. Now that he had come here, it was to treat Hua Manlou's eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng was dressed magnificently and still carried a hint of wine, clearly having lived very comfortably at the Hua family. Now seeing Gu Qing, he was overjoyed.

"I heard the Hua family lives luxuriously and their diet is exquisite. Even the person feeding the horses looks like a wealthy young master when they go out."

Gu Qing teased, "Looking at you, it's true."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said, "If Hero Gu wants me to feed the horses, I will feed the horses immediately."

Regarding whether Hua Manlou could recover his sight, Lu Xiaofeng was very humble.

Gu Qing chuckled and introduced the Old Man standing to the side, saying, "If there is one person in the world who can make Hua Manlou recover his sight, it must be Senior Wu Ming. All the famous doctors in the world combined are but a small stream by the ocean compared to Senior Wu Ming."

Gu Qing emphatically introduced Wu Ming, letting Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou know what to expect. He said, "Your internal energy cultivation is still shallow; seeing Senior Wu Ming is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the bright moon. But my internal energy is deep, and only then do I know that seeing Senior Wu Ming is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

Gu Qing heavily flattered the Old Man.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou felt a chill in their hearts, knowing this was Gu Qing reminding them of the terror of this Old Man Wu Ming, and they respected this Old Man even more.

"I am just an old man enjoying peace."

Wu Ming said peacefully, "Gu Qing, your flattery is a bit over the top."

"Not over the top, not over the top."

Gu Qing said, "Who is the peak at the end of the martial Dao? Once you see Wu Ming, the Dao becomes empty!"

This kind of talk was more than Wu Ming could handle, and he waved his hands repeatedly, signaling for them to enter the Hua family together.

Lu Xiaofeng was quietly observing the Old Man, seeing that his steps were calm, but it was as if he could shrink the earth into an inch. His stride was not large, his speed was not fast, yet he walked steadily in the lead.

Gu Qing followed behind. Behind Gu Qing were Gongsun Lan, Ouyang Qing, Xue Bing, Shangguan Feiyan, and Shangguan Xue'er. It was also under Gu Qing's leadership that the Green Clothes Tower and the Red Shoes had merged harmoniously.

After arriving at the Hua family, everyone entered Hua Manlou's pavilion. Wu Ming held a teacup, intending to drink tea, so everyone chatted for a while first.

Lu Xiaofeng asked Gu Qing if there was any excitement in the capital.

"Nothing exciting, just Daoist Mu taking over the Quanzhen Sect, which made many people in the capital dissatisfied."

Gu Qing spoke of Daoist Mu's affair, saying, "People like Du Tongxuan have united with some people inside the Quanzhen Sect to go against Daoist Mu, giving Daoist Mu a headache. As for Li Yanbei, he is quite tactful and is respectful to Daoist Mu."

Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan had a bet before, but Gu Qing's draw at the peak of the Forbidden City meant neither side gained any benefit, so they maintained the original situation.

It was just that in the current situation, there was one more Daoist Mu.

"And then?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Then I left."

Gu Qing said.

If he continued to stay in the capital, there might be bloodshed—the blood of Du Tongxuan and those people.

Daoist Mu was not a kind person.

However, Gu Qing still appreciated Daoist Mu's ability. He recommended Daoist Mu to be the Quanzhen leader precisely because he hoped that with Daoist Mu's talent, the Quanzhen Sect would grow and become strong.

After talking for a while, Wu Ming finished his tea. Seeing Wu Ming put down the teacup, everyone stopped talking.

Wu Ming asked Hua Manlou to sit down and reached out to place his hand on Hua Manlou's eyes, carefully examining them.

Gu Qing, Lu Xiaofeng, Shi Xiuxue, and others all held their breath on the side.

Hua Manlou's eyes had gone blind when he was seven. There were still pitch-black pupils in his eye sockets, but they lacked luster. After the Old Man carefully examined them, he took out silver needles and stimulated the many acupoints near Hua Manlou's eyes, asking about Hua Manlou's state.

After Hua Manlou turned seven, the Hua family had invited countless divine doctors to perform countless examinations to make him recover his sight. Now, being asked by the Old Man, many childhood memories were recalled, and he described the current state and the state of that year separately.

After hearing this, the Old Man nodded and said, "Looking at it this way, your eye disease is really as I expected."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked happy.

"Prepare a quiet room."

Wu Ming said.

"What kind of disease is this?" Lu Xiaofeng asked eagerly.

Wu Ming looked at Lu Xiaofeng, whom he also quite appreciated, and said, "Hidden injury, blockage. However, with my internal energy, I can clear the blockage. As for the hidden injury, it will have to be treated slowly with medicine."

Wu Ming gave the treatment plan directly, which made Hua Manlou overjoyed. He thanked Wu Ming repeatedly, then entered the quiet room, letting Wu Ming treat his injuries.

This treatment lasted until evening. Wu Ming walked out of the room and placed a teacup on the table. In this clear water, there were two extremely thin black blood threads. After Wu Ming's hand released the teacup, the blood threads immediately dispersed, causing shallow black foam to appear in the teacup.

"The medicine has already been given to him."

Wu Ming looked at Gu Qing and asked, "What about you?"

Wu Ming had already shown his sincerity.

Gu Qing leaned into Wu Ming's ear and whispered, "I have long been an invisible man!"

Hearing this, Wu Ming was very satisfied. He took out a small note, placed it in Gu Qing's bosom, and said, "I am waiting for you."

After saying this, Wu Ming disappeared.

!

Even Gu Qing did not see clearly how he disappeared.

Gu Qing patted the note on his chest. This Old Man wanted to pass on martial arts and cultivate a successor, and Gu Qing wanted martial arts. They were too compatible; it was simply a win-win!

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gu Qing with worry, feeling that Gu Qing must have paid some price. However, since Gu Qing didn't say anything, Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask. He entered the quiet room and saw Hua Manlou with gauze wrapped around his eyes, a smile on his face, and hurriedly asked about his condition.

"When I close my eyes, I can already feel the flame of the candle in the dark room jumping before my eyes."

Hua Manlou said joyfully, "It's just that the senior said my eyes haven't been used for many years, so I need to use medicine to nourish them first, prepare well, and open my eyes in the dark room at night to adapt one by one..."

As Hua Manlou said this, Lu Xiaofeng was so happy he did over a dozen somersaults.

"Drink, let's drink!"

Lu Xiaofeng was too happy for Hua Manlou.

However, at this moment, Hua Manlou dampened Lu Xiaofeng's spirits, saying, "I cannot drink alcohol while applying the medicine."

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Xiaofeng's spirits were even higher, saying, "I will drink myself, I will drink with everyone!"

The Hua family was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers to celebrate this event. The wine cellar was opened wide. Lu Xiaofeng carried the wine, and whoever he met, he had to drink a few cups with them. He originally drank at the Hua family, then went outside to drink. Because he was so happy about this, Lu Xiaofeng became more energetic the more he drank. Drinking until late at night, Lu Xiaofeng felt that Gu Qing seemed to have disappeared from the banquet, so he carried a jar of wine and killed his way toward where Gu Qing lived.

Lu Xiaofeng was full of wine, but when he saw Gu Qing, he sobered up.

At this moment, Gu Qing was supporting the ground with two fingers, his whole body suspended cross-legged... He was actually practicing martial arts!

While everyone else was drinking, Gu Qing was secretly working hard!

Lu Xiaofeng felt so disgusted he wanted to vomit. Then he stood there, watching Gu Qing stretch his body, as if practicing Indian yoga. After a few tosses, his whole body was covered in sweat. With a flip, he stood up, and there were a few popping sounds on his body, as if a stream of blood and Qi was condensed and not dispersing...

Gu Qing had broken through!

This "number one in the world" was not only secretly practicing martial arts, but had also broken through!

Lu Xiaofeng was disgusted to the core!

"This should be the seventh layer."

Shangguan Feiyan's voice came.

Among the many martial arts Gu Qing possessed, the Nine Yang Manual, the Nine Yin Manual, and the Yi Jin Jing all had limits and perfection. Instead, the Dragon-Elephant Dafan Dafan Bore Art and the Yoga Secret Vehicle—one was about grinding through years, the other was endless to cultivate—had unknowingly become Gu Qing's main practice.

The seventh layer Shangguan Feiyan mentioned at this moment was the Dragon-Elephant Dafan Dafan Bore Art.

Gu Qing was not in a hurry to break through this martial art. He accumulated practice every day, and everything happened naturally. At this moment, it broke through naturally. With every casual gesture, he had a force of seven hundred catties.

Gu Qing nodded slowly. Shangguan Feiyan walked over, used a silk scarf to wipe Gu Qing's face, and when Gu Qing reached out to embrace her, Shangguan Feiyan crossed her legs and wrapped them around Gu Qing's waist, consciously aligning herself, giggling coquettishly.

In the capital, seeing Gu Qing's performance at the peak of the Forbidden City and his ability to talk and laugh with the Emperor, Shangguan Feiyan became increasingly docile.

Gu Qing teased her twice, embraced Shangguan Feiyan with one hand, and entered the bedroom next door.

"Hiss..."

Lu Xiaofeng felt very out of place.

Shangguan Feiyan was a woman who was beautiful, wicked, and wanton; she could be considered a dark moonlight in Lu Xiaofeng's life.

Now, this wanton and wicked dark moonlight was being held and loved by someone else.

Lu Xiaofeng was numb.
