Dragon Protection Shanzhuang.

When Gu Qing's family returned, Zhu Wushi was waiting with a deep frown. Seeing Gu Qing, he walked up to him and even bowed to him.

"Little Zhu, don't you have anything to explain?"

Gu Qing asked coldly.

In this *World's Number One* world, Zhu Wushi was the greatest conspirator and had the deepest grudge against Gu Qing. Whatever trouble Gu Qing ran into, he just had to beat up Zhu Wushi, and that would be the end of it.

"Explain what?"

Zhu Wushi looked extremely bewildered.

"Good, good, good."

Seeing this, Gu Qing had nothing more to say; he clenched his fists, preparing to give him a sound beating.

"Master, don't be like this..."

"Calm down, calm down."

Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang hurriedly blocked his path to prevent a direct collision between Gu Qing and the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis, then asked what was going on.

"You speak first."

Gu Qing stared at the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis.

Zhu Wushi recalled the affairs of Jian Jingfeng, Liaokong, and Lu Huanong. In those matters, Gu Qing had no evidence or clues, yet he went straight to mess with Suxin. In this current matter, Gu Qing similarly had no evidence or clues, yet he was blindly coming to beat him up...

Was he aggrieved?

Perhaps.

But Zhu Wushi just couldn't figure out why Gu Qing could come straight to him for something with no basis, and yet find the right person!

"Gu Guo Guo Daxia might have been provoked by Cao Zhengchun."

Zhu Wushi said sternly, "Gu Guo Guo Daxia, the eunuch dog Cao is treacherous and ruthless; he is a great enemy of the court. You must not fall for his divisive tactics." While speaking, Zhu Wushi took out an invitation card with "Heavenly Fragrant Tianxiang Doukou Banquet" written on it and said, "Gu Guo Guo Daxia, the eunuch dog Cao wants to invite me to a banquet with ulterior motives. For the sake of the Great Ming, we must work together."

Gu Qing looked at the invitation; Cao Zhengchun's request was simple: invite Zhu Wushi to a banquet and then gift him the Heavenly Fragrant Tianxiang Doukou. But since it was known that Suxin had revived, and this was the last Heavenly Fragrant Tianxiang Doukou, Cao Zhengchun wouldn't let go of it easily.

"So it was the eunuch dog making trouble."

Gu Qing said lightly.

Zhu Wushi's expression didn't change; he was already used to enduring.

"Foster father, you must think twice!"

Shangguan Haitang said worriedly, "If you go to the Eastern Depot, the eunuch dog Cao will surely set up a net of traps to frame you; it will be hard to escape."

Zhu Wushi lowered his eyes and nodded. In fact, for many years, he had been waiting for Cao Zhengchun to make a mistake; as long as Cao Zhengchun committed a major error, Zhu Wushi could cast him into the abyss.

"Therefore, I would like to invite Gu Guo Guo Daxia to go with me."

Zhu Wushi said, "Under heaven, no one can block the combined force of you and me, Master."

Shangguan Haitang looked at Gu Qing with anticipation.

"Heh..."

Just as Gu Qing was about to speak, Princess Yunluo hurried over, bouncing to Gu Qing's side, and said, "Master, Master, I found the person you asked me to look for."

Gu Qing immediately stopped speaking and took Princess Yunluo to a secluded spot. Zhu Wushi, seeing this, hurriedly pulled up the Dragon Protection Shanzhuang's intelligence to see what Princess Yunluo had done today. After seeing the specific intelligence, he said with slight surprise, "Cheng Shifei? What is this thing?"

Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo were a pair; both had lively personalities and were well-matched. Gu Qing had been wandering the gambling dens in the capital and couldn't find Cheng Shifei's whereabouts, but Princess Yunluo, after learning the specific situation of Cheng Shifei, walked around the capital and dug him out.

"Look, it's this little beggar."

Princess Yunluo brought Gu Qing to Cheng Shifei's side.

At this time, Cheng Shifei was dressed in rags, but he had a cheerful nature and no sense of dejection or inferiority on his face. He looked up at the sky, unmoved by the arrival of Gu Qing and Princess Yunluo.

"What are you looking at!"

Princess Yunluo asked.

"Looking at the sky!" Cheng Shifei hummed.

"Why are you looking at the sky?"

Princess Yunluo asked, puzzled.

"You brought me here; they won't let me look at this, won't let me look at that. I know, this whole world belongs to you Zhu's, but that sky belongs to me, a commoner."

Cheng Shifei said indifferently, "I'll look at it however I want."

Princess Yunluo scratched her head; this Dragon Protection Shanzhuang was a place for hiding secrets, and many things really couldn't be looked at randomly.

Gu Qing stood before Cheng Shifei, blocking his view of the sky. Cheng Shifei was startled, moved back two steps, hugged his knees, and asked in alarm, "What do you want? You may look good, but I don't play that way!"

Princess Yunluo asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"He, the world's number one handsome man, comes to find me, the world's number two handsome man; what do you think he wants to do? He must want to mess with me!"

Cheng Shifei was quick-witted; his speech was full of jokes and hidden flattery. Seemingly aimless, he had already figured out Princess Yunluo's situation, and saying these things now was also to test her.

!

"I warn you, don't talk nonsense!"

Princess Yunluo shouted, "My master's wife already has two, and as for my master looking for you..."

Cheng Shifei figured out the situation and looked at Gu Qing, wanting to speak.

"Stop talking."

Gu Qing told Cheng Shifei to stop and said, "Cheng Shifei, do you want to see your parents?"

Parents?

Cheng Shifei's playful expression vanished, and he looked fixedly at Gu Qing.

"More than ten years ago, an 'Undefeated Playful Child' appeared in the martial arts world; his personality was similar to yours, and he liked to deceive people for fun all his life, and then..."

There were only Gu Qing, Cheng Shifei, and Princess Yunluo nearby, so Gu Qing roughly told the story of Gu Santong, Suxin, and the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis from back then.

Hearing these words, Cheng Shifei went from being bewildered to gradually becoming firm. He looked at Gu Qing and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Gu Qing looked at Cheng Shifei and suddenly laughed, saying, "There is a 'Primordial Turtle Qi Gong' in this world that can only be practiced by virgins and can only be used once; it can completely heal the other person's body. Gu Santong currently has deep internal injuries; do you want to learn the Primordial Turtle Qi Gong and go save Gu Santong?"

Cheng Shifei's face stiffened; he stared at Gu Qing, his mouth twitching, and said, "You must be my father!"

What kind of move requires stripping off clothes and sticking to someone to heal them?

Cheng Shifei suspected that Gu Qing was the deceptive "Undefeated Playful Child."

"I am not."

Gu Qing shook his head and said affirmatively.

"..."

Cheng Shifei stood up, speechless.

Gu Qing patted Cheng Shifei on the shoulder and said, "As the saying goes, 'filial sons are born under the rod'; I know you are a filial child, and I think highly of you."

What kind of rod does he have?

What kind of rod do I have?

Cheng Shifei's face turned dark, but thinking of his parents whom he had never met, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you are lying to me, I will never be done with you in this life! I'll practice this Primordial Turtle Qi Gong!"

Gu Qing laughed heartily and thought very highly of Cheng Shifei.

"Yunluo."

Gu Qing called Princess Yunluo again and said, "The one hundred and seven experts at Taihu back then were not killed by Gu Santong; it was just manipulated by others to make the world believe it. You can go ask your Imperial brother if he wants to overturn the verdict for Gu Santong."

Yunluo was startled; this was an ironclad case handled by the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis!

With ironclad evidence!
