Chapter 288

Li Miao naturally wouldn't finish the matter, seeing that he had already opened a breakthrough, he threw the chopstick away, ignored the man's cry of pain, turned around and walked to the table, handing the subsequent matters to Cao Hanyan.

"So, you really knew Brother Gao's location and came here specifically to find him, right?"

Cao Hanyan asked.

"Yes."

The chopstick was still stuck in the man's ear, dripping with blood, and he had completely lost the will to resist.

This chopstick didn't just poke the eardrum; Li Miao's casual stab had destroyed some fine organs inside, and he was dizzy, tinnitus, and retching, but could only endure it and answer.

"Where did the weapon come from?"

"According to the atlas, found a famous craftsman to build it."

"Why do you know Brother Gao's martial arts so well?"

"Someone gave us the atlas, and gave it to us together with the whip atlas."

"Including breaking the moves?"

"Yes."

"Who gave it?"

"She said she was called... Su Mingjun."

Before the words had faded, before Cao Hanyan could react, Gao Anyu, who had been standing on the side watching the excitement, suddenly widened his eyes and said in astonishment.

"Who!? Say it again!"

"Su... Mingjun, that's the name."

"Meteor" tried hard to think and answered firmly.

Clatter clatter clatter clatter.

Gao Anyu took several steps back, muttering in his mouth.

"Su Mingjun, Su Mingjun..."

Cao Hanyan shouted sharply.

"The whole story, from beginning to end, tell it one by one!"

That "Meteor" had already been tossed by Li Miao, and he wasn't a hard bone himself, so he immediately poured out the beans from the bamboo tube, telling the whole story one by one.

Half a year ago, "Cripple" was killed by Gao Anyu, and they were afraid that Gao Anyu would turn back to find them, so they packed up their gold and silver on the same day and fled their hometown.

Logically speaking, with the wealth in their hands, being a little frugal would have lasted them ten or eight years. But these people were used to taking side paths, money came easily, and they had never lived a frugal life, so they spent it all in less than half a month.

The money was spent, and they were also panicked.

"Cripple" was dead, and relying on these five faces, the old business couldn't be done. The business was broken, so the official protection was gone, and they didn't dare to show their heads, fearing that some Jianghu sect that had looked down on them in the past would come to slaughter them.

This went on for more than half a month, but these few couldn't help it.

Several people calculated, feeling that they still had to go back to the old business. But they were no longer as "particular" as before. They just relied on their martial arts to forcibly rob a few good women and sell them to save the emergency.

So several people stepped on the spot near their hiding place during the day, strolled for a few days, and really discovered a beautiful woman, and the best part was that this woman was living alone, with no relatives to take care of her!

How could these few endure it? That night, they put on night clothes, climbed over the courtyard wall, and wanted to kidnap this woman to a brothel to exchange for money.

But who knew—

"We just crossed the wall, and that woman was standing in the courtyard, looking at us with a smile, without any panic. We just felt weird, stepped forward and wanted to restrain her."

"But unexpectedly, one move, just one move."

"We were all restrained by her, and our acupoints were pressed so we couldn't move."

"At that time, we all felt that we were planted, but unexpectedly she didn't make a move against us at all, just threw a booklet on the ground and turned into the house."

"She said she was called Su Mingjun, and if we wanted revenge, we should look at this booklet. If we didn't have the guts, we could leave on our own. After that, she didn't come out of the house."

"Until dawn, the acupoints solved themselves, and we wanted to leave directly. But standing for this night, the wind turned that little booklet open. Before we left, we took another look."

"It was this look that made us recognize the moves drawn on it—they were exactly the moves Young Hero Gao used when he fought us that day!"

Speaking to this point, there was no need to continue listening.

Cao Hanyan waved his hand to interrupt his words and summarized.

"So, you stayed instead of leaving in order to find Brother Gao for revenge, and went back to find her, starting to practice these means to restrain Brother Gao, until now, right?"

"Meteor" nodded.

Cao Hanyan walked slowly for a few steps, pondered for a moment, and then turned back to say to Li Miao.

"What do you think?"

Li Miao smiled.

"The person is not important, the key is time. How long after Little Gao left did you meet this Su Mingjun?"

"Meteor" pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Less than a month, about twenty-one or twenty-two days."

Li Miao continued to ask.

"You haven't walked the Jianghu for a long time, and Little Gao doesn't have any name, how could you be sure of Little Gao's location?"

Sure enough, "Meteor" answered in a deep voice.

"Su Mingjun told us."

From the moment they fought, Li Miao had already seen that the other party was dusty, as if they had just finished their journey not long ago. Compared to bumping into them by chance, he was more willing to believe that this was intentional.

The key point lies in—time.

Gao Anyu had only just woken up half a year ago, and it was only a month after he wiped out this "Cripple Meteor" that someone stood up and poked his background to others.

And now, Gao Anyu had just set off toward the Kongming Sect, and this Su Mingjun had mastered his movements and sent these few "Meteors" over.

Since Gao Anyu woke up, this "Su Mingjun" had known all his movements, and also knew he was looking for her, but had never appeared, instead sending over carefully trained enemies specifically to restrain Gao Anyu.

It's hard to say this is a well-intentioned move.

After listening to these words, Gao Anyu was even more at a loss.

Cao Hanyan sighed; he was an outsider, but he knew very well what this name meant to Gao Anyu.

Gao Anyu lost his memory, and after waking up, he only remembered two names, one was his own, and the other was this "Su Mingjun."

At that time, Zheng Yi joked that this was eight parts his fiancée, which was why his memory was so deep. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Gao Anyu took these words to heart.

But the result now seemed to be exactly the opposite—this "Su Mingjun" might be an enemy.

A name that represented all of Gao Anyu's past might be the name of an enemy.

This kind of news that crushed all expectations into slag, no matter who it was placed on, was probably hard to bear.

Li Miao waved his hand at Gao Anyu with a smile.

"There's no need to rush to a conclusion. You can think about it the other way around: she knew where you were half a year ago, why did she only start making a move now? If she had wanted to, she could have sneaked up and killed you while you were confused, why spend half a year training a few opponents for you?"

"There is another possibility—if she felt you could defeat these three pieces of trash, then she might not necessarily be without good intentions in doing these things."

"She might be trying to remind you that it's time to start putting down the black ruler and prepare to break through to the pinnacle realm."

"She deliberately revealed the name Su Mingjun to these pieces of trash, perhaps also to lead you to investigate something."

Li Miao turned to look at the "Meteor" hanging on the wall.

"Besides Little Gao's location, has that Su Mingjun ever mentioned any other names to you?"

Seeing that it was Li Miao asking, the "Meteor" naturally didn't dare to be slow out of fear, and hurriedly concentrated on thinking. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said.

"It wasn't deliberately explained, just occasionally heard her mention two names before."

Li Miao raised his eyebrows.

"Which two?"

"Meteor" said in a deep voice.

"Kongming Sect—Long Haifeng!"
