Chapter 140

Bai Zhantang asked, frowning.

He and Chu Liuxiang were old rivals; back then, if he hadn't been unprepared, he wouldn't have lost when competing in light-body techniques.

"Brother Lu, what did I say?"

"As long as we get within thirty zhang of him, he will notice."

Chu Liuxiang said with a smile, opening his fan and fanning himself.

He knew this old rival Bai Zhantang very well and had never underestimated him.

"Sure enough, the one who truly understands you is always your rival."

"I am experiencing this more and more deeply."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Subsequently, he continued, "Brother Bai, we have no malice in coming here."

"We just hope Brother Bai can help us find someone."

In this situation, he had to state his purpose first; otherwise, Bai Zhantang would remain vigilant, and the following matters couldn't be discussed at all.

"Chu Liuxiang, who are these two?"

Bai Zhantang remained very vigilant.

"I am Lu Xiaofeng, and this is Hua Manlou."

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly introduced himself and Hua Manlou.

Hearing their identities, Bai Zhantang was also somewhat surprised.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were also famous in the Great Ming Jianghu.

"Brother Bai, no need to be nervous; the three of us have no malice; we truly want Brother Bai to help us find someone."

Hua Manlou said softly with a smile.

His voice was very gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

After hearing this, Bai Zhantang's vigilance relaxed slightly.

"I am a criminal wanted by the imperial court; if you ask me to find someone, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Bai Zhantang asked.

His wanted poster had always been at the Six Fan Gate.

So he wasn't wrong to say he was a wanted criminal.

"Brother Bai worries too much; you and I are both people of the Jianghu; what does the imperial court have to do with us?"

"Besides, now that the Emperor has been in a coma, the Great Ming is full of flames of war everywhere."

"At this time, I assume they have no time to bother with us."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

When he smiled, his mustache and eyebrows moved.

Seeing this, Bai Zhantang also understood why the Jianghu called Lu Xiaofeng "Four Eyebrows."

It was truly too vivid.

"Brother Bai, I hope you let go of past grievances and help us this time."

Chu Liuxiang bowed and said.

He had always been loyal to his friends.

As long as Bai Zhantang could help find the person, Chu Liuxiang felt it didn't matter if he lowered his posture a bit.

"Since even you, Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng, can't find the person, I am interested in trying to see if I can find them."

Bai Zhantang said with a smile.

Learning their identities and Lu Xiaofeng's words just now completely let Bai Zhantang put down his guard.

Moreover, Chu Liuxiang had lowered his posture, which Bai Zhantang enjoyed very much.

Being able to let the person who defeated him in the past beg him, Bai Zhantang felt this feeling was quite good.

Another reason was that Bai Zhantang knew the character of Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou.

That was why he decided to agree.

"Tell me, who is the person you want to find."

Bai Zhantang said.

"Ximen Chuixue!"

Lu Xiaofeng said straight to the point.

"Since the battle with Ye Gucheng, Brother Ximen felt he had received great humiliation."

"After the three of us joined forces to take him away from the Forbidden City, he disappeared again; I assume he is looking for Ye Gucheng's trail."

"Brother Ximen's sword technique is superb, but he is still a bit worse than Ye Gucheng."

"We are worried about Brother Ximen's safety and have been looking for his whereabouts, but we have been unable to find his trail."

"After seeing Brother Bai make the Heaven's Pride List, we came to find you specifically to see if you have any way to find Brother Ximen."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't hide anything and told the whole situation.

As a martial artist mixing in the Jianghu, he knew what to say in front of what kind of person.

From Chu Liuxiang's mouth and the brief exchange just now, Lu Xiaofeng could be certain that he had to tell the truth in front of Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang subconsciously looked at Chu Liuxiang, asking with his eyes if this was true.

"Brother Lu's words are indeed true."

"On this point, I can guarantee with my personality."

Chu Liuxiang nodded and said.

Only then did Bai Zhantang believe Lu Xiaofeng's words.

Although he had heard many rumors about Lu Xiaofeng, he hadn't had contact before, so Bai Zhantang was still somewhat suspicious.

The reason he looked at Chu Liuxiang to confirm the situation was because he had had contact with Chu Liuxiang.

Bai Zhantang trusted and was very reassured by Chu Liuxiang's character.

"According to Brother Lu, did Ximen Chuixue lose the battle in the Forbidden City that day?"

Bai Zhantang asked curiously.

The battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the peak of the Forbidden City was still something discussed over drinks everywhere in the Great Ming after such a long time.

At the Tongfu Inn, Bai Zhantang could hear guests talking about it almost every day.

However, those people were also listening to others, plus their own processing, so the credibility wasn't very high.

Seeing someone who was there that day, Bai Zhantang naturally wanted to ask.

"Strictly speaking, Brother Ximen did lose."

"Everyone present could see that whether it was sword technique or overall strength, Ye Gucheng surpassed Brother Ximen."

"In the last sword strike, Ye Gucheng brought out his full strength; at this time, I could feel and see that Brother Ximen had prepared to die."

"As a result, Ye Gucheng suddenly changed direction and stabbed at the Emperor with extreme speed."

"He also had several powerful helpers who held back the experts of the imperial court at the time."

"After Ye Gucheng succeeded, I don't know what method they used, but they disappeared instantly."

Lu Xiaofeng briefly described the situation that day.

Every time he thought of Ye Gucheng's heaven-defying sword strike that day.

Lu Xiaofeng felt lingering fear.

No martial artist below the Earth Immortal realm could take that strike.

Of course, this was Lu Xiaofeng's own thought.

"If Brother Ximen had really died under that strike that day, I assume he would have been very happy."

"As a swordsman, dying under someone else's sword is a glory."

"But Ye Gucheng did that."

When Chu Liuxiang said this, he sighed long and shook his head helplessly.

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and Bai Zhantang all understood what Chu Liuxiang meant.

Swordsmen were the most powerful and dignified type of martial artists.

Ye Gucheng's actions at the time, let alone Ximen Chuixue.

If it were any other swordsman, as long as they didn't die, they would never stop until they killed Ye Gucheng.

"I didn't expect Ye Gucheng to be so terrifying." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
