Chapter 325: Su Mingjun

~8 min read 1,468 words

Li Miao naturally wouldn't finish the matter, seeing that a breakthrough had been opened, he threw the chopstick away, ignored the person's painful cry, and turned to walk to the table, handing the subsequent matters to Cao Hanyan.

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

Cao Hanyan asked.

"Yes."

The person still had a chopstick stuck in his ear, dripping blood, and had completely lost the will to resist.

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

"Where did the weapons come from?"

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

"Why are you so familiar with Brother Gao's Wu Gong?"

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

"Including breaking moves?"

"Yes."

"Who gave it?"

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

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

"Who!? Say it again!"

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

"Meteor" tried hard to think, and answered definitely.

*Step-step-step-step*.

Gao Anyu retreated several steps, muttering in his mouth.

"Su Mingjun, Su Mingjun..."

Cao Hanyan shouted sharply.

"The ins and outs, from beginning to end, tell me one by one!"

That "Meteor" had already been tossed by Li Miao, and he wasn't a tough bone, so he immediately poured out the beans like a bamboo tube, explaining the whole process.

Half a year ago, "Cane" 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, if they were a little frugal, it would be no problem to spend it for 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 all their money in less than half a month.

The money was spent, and they were also panicked.

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

Another half a month passed like this, but these few people couldn't help it.

A few people calculated, and felt that they still had to go back to the old business. But they were no longer as "particular" as before. They just relied on the Wu Gong of a few people to forcibly rob a few innocent women and sell them, which could also save an emergency.

So a few people stepped on points near the hiding place during the day, strolled for a few days, and actually discovered a beautiful woman, and the best thing was that this woman lived alone and had no relatives or friends to take care of her!

How could these few people 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 passed the wall, and the woman was standing in the courtyard, looking at us with a smile, without any panic. We only felt strange, stepped forward and wanted to capture her."

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

"We were all captured by her, and our acupuncture points were sealed so we couldn't move."

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

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

By dawn, the acupuncture points were self-resolved, and we wanted to leave directly. But standing for this night, the wind turned that little booklet over. 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 with 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, in order to seek revenge on Brother Gao, you didn't leave, but went back to find her and started practicing these methods to restrain Brother Gao, until now, right?"

"Meteor" nodded.

Cao Hanyan walked a few steps slowly, pondered for a moment, and then turned 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, then nodded and said.

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

Li Miao continued to ask.

"You haven't traveled the Jianghu for a long time, and Little Gao has no name, how could you be sure of Little Gao's location?"

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

"Su Mingjun told us."

At the very moment they started fighting, Li Miao had already seen that the other party was dusty, as if they had just finished their journey. Compared to bumping into it by chance, he was more willing to believe that this was intentional.

The key point lies in—time.

Half a year ago, Gao Anyu had just woken up, and after wiping out this "Cane Meteor," it was only a month later that someone stood up and poked his bottom line 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 that he was looking for her, but had never appeared, instead sending carefully cultivated enemies specifically to restrain Gao Anyu.

It was hard to say that this was a well-intentioned move.

After hearing this, 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 out of ten his fiancée, which was why his memory was so deep. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Gao Anyu took this to heart.

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

A name representing 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 difficult to bear.

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

"No need to rush to a conclusion; you can think about it in reverse: she knew where you were half a year ago, why did she start to strike only now? If she had taken advantage of your confused mind and sneak-attacked and killed you, why bother spending half a year to cultivate a few opponents for you?"

"There is another possibility—if she feels that you can defeat these few scumbags, then she might not be without good intentions in doing these things."

"She perhaps wanted to remind you that it is time to start putting down the black ruler and prepare yourself to break through to the Peak Realm."

"She deliberately revealed the name Su Mingjun to those lowlifes, perhaps also to lead you into investigating something."

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

"Besides Xiao Gao's location, what else did that Su Mingjun say to you?"

Seeing that it was Li Miao asking, the "Meteor," in his fear, naturally dared not be slow and hurriedly concentrated to think hard. After a long while, he suddenly raised his head and said.

"It wasn't a deliberate instruction; I just happened to hear her mention two names before."

Li Miao raised an eyebrow.

"Which two?"

The "Meteor" said in a low voice.

"Kongming Sect—Long Haifeng!"
