135 A Restless Day (1/2)

Gu Shenwei felt overwhelmed. A new problem had already come to his door, when the old problem inside the room remained unsolved.

Surprisingly, under such pressure, his true potential was somehow unleashed. He suddenly thought of a plan to solve these problems.

He guessed that people just could not bring their potentialities into full play unless they were cornered. He reckoned that it was because of such potential outbursts that a coward could pluck up his courage to stand out at a crucial moment and a young mother could lift a very heavy thing to save her baby.

The quarrel between Shangguan Yushi and Meng Mingshi was not over yet.

Shangguan Yushi showed everyone the evidence that she had found in the brothel across the street: ten steel needles and some black clothes embroidered with white crescents. ”Liu Yin'er must be a disciple of New Moon Hall. We found these things in Liu Yin'er's brothel, and we also found out that she knew kung fu,” she told everyone.

”How can you prove that these things are hers? Who else can prove that she knows kung fu? She's dead now. You can say whatever you want,” Meng Mingshi retorted.

Mister Guo and Fifth Young Master Meng were old friends, but they had to pretend to be unfamiliar with each other in front of everyone else. Given that, Mister Guo did not openly support Fifth Young Master Meng. He just condemned Shangguan Yushi for leaving the southeastern part of South City without permission.

Shangguan Yushi was not a little girl anymore. She did not fear Mister Guo now and contended that she and her assassins were just chasing a lead that they discovered in the southeastern area of South City.

Gu Shenwei knew Master Yu's true intention and decided to give her what she wanted. ”Regardless of whether Liu Yin'er is a disciple of New Moon Hall or not, we should never condemn the Meng family. The Meng family is such a close ally of Golden Roc Fort, and its interests are aligned with that of the fort. Given that, Little Flag Battalion shouldn't assassinate Liu Yin'er without informing the Meng family beforehand. If you had told the Meng family what you had found about Liu Yin'er and let the Meng family take care of this thing, the family would've solved this problem better. Maybe they could've found out more disciples of New Moon Hall for us.”

Meng Mingshi thought that Slave Huan was speaking for himself, so he echoed the slave boy's view without any hesitation. When Mister Guo noticed Slave Huan's trick, it was already too late to stop the young master.

Shangguan Yushi was furious and stormed out of the house while calling Slave Huan a traitor. Even Commander Guo could not stop her from leaving.

.

After Shangguan Yushi's departure, Gu Shenwei went to Mister Guo. ”Commander Guo, I want to talk with you, privately. I've something important to say.” Just as he had expected, Mister Guo turned down his request at once. Despite that, he still whispered beside Mister Guo's ear. ”The Barren Sect is going to climb all the way up to Golden Roc Fort with those pitons.”

Mister Guo disliked the slave boy very much and was fed up with this piton thing, which he thought was absurd and groundless. He flared up and scolded the boy before leaving. This result also met Gu Shenwei's expectations.

After leaving the brothel, Meng Mingshi's servants reminded their young master that Slave Huan was not trustworthy. ”That slave boy just pretended to speak for you, but in fact, he was implying that the Meng family did have something to do with New Moon Hall and the Barren Sect.” Upon hearing that, Meng Mingshi gnashed his teeth in anger and hated the slave boy's guts.

Tie Hanfeng was confused. In his view, Slave Huan should stand aside quietly to avoid offending anyone instead of getting involved in the quarrel between Shangguan Yushi and Meng Mingshi.

Gu Shenwei did not have time to argue with his Master Shifu. He had to leave this place as soon as possible, but before that, he needed to meet the monks to get some information. He had asked Xu Xiaoyi to invite Lianhua and Lianye into the bedroom downstairs not long after he had spotted the monks in the street.

Xu Xiaoyi, who had never met any monk from Four Truths Temple before, was excited to meet Lianhua and Lianye. He had a good time with Monk Lianhua, who told him many interesting things about Buddhism and even taught him several paragraphs of Breaking Obsession.

When he concentrated himself on memorizing the incantation, Gu Shenwei suddenly came in and threw him out. The little boy was shocked and forgot most of the words he had just learned from the monk.

After throwing Xu Xiaoyi out, Gu Shenwei bowed deeply to the monks.

It was the first time Monk Lianhua had left Four Truths Temple during recent years. He came directly to Pleasure Alley, planning to persuade the two teenagers to continue to learn Breaking Obsession.

Monk Lianhua was a little pedantic but he was not stupid. He could tell that the teenager did not come to him for Breaking Obsession, but he still took this chance to tell the teenager the benefits of becoming a Buddhist.

Gu Shenwei patiently listened to the monk for some time, and then he began to ask questions about the origin of Tiger Monk's clay slab.

Unfortunately, Monk Lianhua did not know much about it except that it had something to do with the agreement between Golden Roc Fort and New Moon Hall.

Gu Shenwei asked a few more questions about the clay slab, but still failed to get any accurate answers. Right at this moment, Monk Lianye interrupted, ”Brother Lianhua, this boy will die within a few days. You'd better not waste your time on him anymore.”

Monk Lianhua was shocked to hear that and anxiously asked Lianye, ”Is there anything wrong with this boy?”

Gu Shenwei was surprised that Lianye was able to sense his qigong deviation without feeling his pulse. ”Monk Lianye must be a qigong master and might be able to cure my qigong deviation.” With this thought in his mind, he knelt down in front of Monk Lianhua and said, ”Monk Lianhua, Monk Lianye is right. I really wish to give up my saber to become a Buddhist, but I'm afraid that I won't get such a chance.”

Gu Shenwei knew that Lianye did not like him, so he only implored Monk Lianhua for mercy.
