Chapter 266

~8 min read 1,460 words

The Heavenly Fragrant Tianxiang Doukou was fed into Suxin's mouth, and her sick body of over ten years was finally healed.

"Suxin, a common woman, being able to be healed by the Heavenly Fragrant Tianxiang Doukou is truly a heaven-sent fortune."

Suxin thanked Gu Qing sincerely.

"I just love doing good deeds."

Gu Qing laughed.

Suxin thought that among these three Heavenly Fragrant Cardamoms, one belonged to the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis, and the fact that she had been frozen in the Heavenly Pool for many years was also the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis's doing. She looked up, just about to thank him, but saw the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi looking troubled and unhappy. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Wushi, what's wrong?"

Zhu Wushi forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Suxin; I'm very happy."

"..."

Suxin knew Zhu Wushi had something on his mind, but with everyone present, it was hard to discuss.

"Suxin, your recovery is truly a great joy!"

Zhu Wushi collected his scattered thoughts and said to Suxin with a sincere look.

Suxin's heart trembled.

Zhu Wushi was a good man, but she couldn't let go of Gu Santong either; she was only one person, and she really couldn't split herself in two.

"Suxin, do you want to go to the Celestial Prison and give Gu Santong the good news?"

Gu Qing asked suddenly.

The Iron-Clad Divine Marquis was immediately furious. He stared fixedly at Gu Qing and shouted, "Gu Qing, Gu Santong is a prisoner; he must be trapped in the Celestial Prison for the rest of his life. You have gone to the Celestial Prison several times already, which is already a violation of the Great Ming laws. I hope you don't continue to make mistakes!"

Gu Qing, possessing the Jin Gang Indestructible Divine Art, was very powerful; even an opponent like Cao Zhengchun could be rubbed into the ground by Gu Qing. But to survive in the world, one needs power and background; Gu Qing's ability to fight was useless!

Gu Santong back then was also very good at fighting!

"Speaking of the prisoner Gu Santong, when I was talking to him in the Celestial Prison, he mentioned that when he arrived at Taihu, the Four Great Constables and the one hundred and seven martial arts experts were all dead; Gu Santong just happened to arrive at the right time."

Gu Qing stroked his chin, putting on a deductive look, and said, "It's just like when I went to the Shuiyue Nunnery with Yidao; when we arrived, Liaokong, Jian Jingfeng, and Lu Huanong were already dead; we just happened to arrive at the right time."

In this room, besides Gu Qing, Suxin, and Zhu Wushi, there were also Duan Tianya, Haitang, Guihai Yidao, and the Yagyu sisters. Hearing Gu Qing throw out this argument, everyone was shocked.

"So I was thinking, just like how I was framed, was Gu Santong framed?"

Gu Qing asked.

"Nonsense, absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Wushi said coldly.

Capturing Gu Santong was the key to Zhu Wushi becoming the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis and establishing the Dragon Protection Shanzhuang. If this case were overturned, Zhu Wushi would be overturned, and everything would be overturned.

"I also think it's impossible."

Gu Qing smiled, "However, just to be safe, I told the Emperor, hoping he would investigate the matter in detail." At this point, Gu Qing looked at Zhu Wushi and said, "Little Zhu, I heard you and Gu Santong were good brothers; if the misunderstanding can really be cleared up, it would be a good thing for you too."

A good thing?

A good death!

Zhu Wushi suppressed his anger, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and said coldly, "Gu Guo Guo Daxia, since Suxin came out of the Heavenly Pool, I have troubled you with your protection. Now that Suxin has woken up, I think Gu Guo Guo Daxia can leave."

Zhu Wushi had endured for many years, waiting for an opportunity; he wanted to fight for his dignity, but now that he hadn't fought for it yet, he was about to be suffocated by Gu Qing. Zhu Wushi reacted strongly.

If he couldn't beat Gu Qing, Zhu Wushi would have fought him.

"I was able to fight my way out of the Eastern Depot; do you think I can't fight my way out of the Dragon Protection Shanzhuang?"

Gu Qing asked calmly.

Zhu Wushi had nothing to say. He had power and influence, but Gu Qing was too good at fighting. Even if you were wrong, can't I just take a step back?

Zhu Wushi didn't insist.

"Suxin, let's go!"

Gu Qing took Suxin, and the Yagyu sisters went out with Gu Qing. Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang, who remained, were silent. When Guihai Yidao glanced at the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis, he examined him in his heart.

The Iron-Clad Divine Marquis walked heavily to his throne, turned around, and sat down, looking like a wooden statue.

Celestial Prison, Ninth Level.

When Gu Qing arrived here, there was a young man in the Celestial Prison wearing bright yellow robes, whispering to Gu Santong. Hearing Gu Qing and the others arrive, the young man turned around and met Gu Qing.

"Gu Guo Guo Daxia, I am Yunluo's brother."

The young man's face was full of smiles as he spoke.

Princess Yunluo's brother was naturally the current Emperor. Cheng Shifei, who had followed Gu Qing here, kept sizing up the current Emperor upon hearing this.

"How about it, do you want to overturn the verdict?"

Gu Qing asked with a smile.

!

The Emperor frowned slightly. After he ascended the throne, he realized that the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis was a threat, so he balanced the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis against Cao Zhengchun. If he removed the Iron-Clad Divine Marquis and Cao Zhengchun, it would mean the Emperor would truly hold all power.

"Comparing Gu Guo Guo Daxia to my Imperial uncle, who is stronger?"

The Emperor asked seriously.

"I have fought your Imperial uncle, and I have never lost once."

Gu Qing said, "As for why I want to fight your Imperial uncle, just consider it me doing a good deed."

A good deed.

The Emperor understood. He immediately set up a way to contact Gu Qing, and then he would summarize everything based on royal intelligence to make another judgment. This matter was of great importance, and the Emperor had to be cautious.

After the Emperor left, Gu Qing walked toward Gu Santong and said with a smile, "Gu Santong, your wife and son have come, and your savior has also come."

Recently, Gu Santong's living standards in the Celestial Prison had been good; he didn't need to use the Sucking Power Art to capture spiders to eat like before. He was no longer weathered, and his white hair had luster. Hearing Gu Qing's words, Gu Santong looked at Suxin and Cheng Shifei and beckoned them to come closer.

This family of three recognized each other and naturally had things to say. After talking for a while, Gu Santong felt Gu Qing was an eyesore. He looked at Gu Qing and said, "Gu Qing, the Celestial Pool Strange Guo Daxia left behind two legacies back then: one is the world's number one Jin Gang Indestructible Divine Art, and the other is the Sucking Power Art. The two complement each other and restrain each other. If you obtain the entire legacy of the Celestial Pool Strange Guo Daxia, you can absorb all the martial arts in the world for your own use."

"You have done me a great favor; I have already given you the Jin Gang Indestructible Divine Art, so I will teach you this Sucking Power Art as well."

As Gu Santong spoke, he recited the secrets of the Sucking Power Art. He had deceived gods and ghosts all his life, but he really had no intention of deceiving Gu Qing, who had saved Suxin and brought back Cheng Shifei; he explained all the secrets clearly.

Gu Qing listened to everything, silently circulating his internal energy, and purple light gradually appeared in his palms.

This Sucking Power Art could not only absorb power from a distance but also control objects from a distance; it was truly a top-tier method in the world.

"You can go up first."

After Gu Santong finished teaching the secret manual, he wanted Gu Qing to go up so the family of three could have a good talk.

"Not yet."

Gu Qing stood still and said, "Cheng Shifei is new to practicing the Primordial Turtle Qi Gong and is still unfamiliar with it. I still need to guide him while he treats you."

Gu Qing had to forcefully watch.

Cheng Shifei: "..."

Gu Santong: "..."
