Chapter 45 Thanks to you
It's finally dawn.

Several maids in Qingxiang Courtyard did not sleep well all night. Last night, the noise in Miss Qin'er's room lasted until three o'clock in the morning, which made them frightened.

They were all complaining in their hearts, saying that it was the young lady's first time, how could she be so tortured?

The master didn't like being disturbed, so he drove them all out and didn't allow them to come in. They could only stand outside and worry.

After finally making it to dawn, they heard some noise in the house.

After a while, Mr. Gu pushed the door open and walked out, looking refreshed. Seeing this, several maids rushed into the room and saw that the young lady was still sleeping, with a ruddy face and traces of tears on her face.

The bed was a mess, which showed how fierce the battle was last night.

They lifted the patch and saw that she had no wounds or bruises on her body. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

The girls couldn't help but wonder why the young lady screamed like that last night?
Even stranger was the fact that there was no blood on the sheets.

Could it be——

As they were thinking about it, Qin'er woke up with a cry. Before she opened her eyes, she begged for mercy, "No, Gu Lang, please spare me..."

Her voice was a little hoarse, yet charming.

Several maids were stunned. The usually cool, calm, dignified and quiet young lady actually had such a charming side.

Doesn't she usually look down upon people like Xiao Meir who behave in a seductive and seductive manner?

At this time, Qin'er finally opened her eyes and saw several maids surrounding the bed. The man beside the pillow was gone. Thinking of what happened last night, shame and anger appeared on her face.

"Miss, you..."

"Go prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath."

"Yes."

Soon, the hot water is ready.

The maids discovered that the young lady could not even walk, and needed them to help her get into the bathtub. With every step she took, a look of pain appeared on her face.

"You guys go out and tell mom that I won't be seeing any visitors these days."

"Yes."

After they went out, they heard the young lady sobbing from inside the room.

The girls looked at each other, thinking that the young lady must have suffered inhuman torture last night, which was why she felt so humiliated.

When they told the madam that the young lady had caught a cold and needed to rest for a few days, the madam cursed on the spot, "This bastard didn't spend a penny and still hurt someone. My precious daughter, you've suffered so much. Next time that guy named Gu comes, kick him out..."

……

…………

"Ah."

Gu Mingchuan had just got on a carriage when his nose suddenly itched and he sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and said to himself, "Who is scolding me?"

The driver outside asked, "Mr. Gu, where are you going?"

"Baiyunmen."

Yesterday, Jiang Shihao told him that Gu Wendi and Gu Mingyi also came to Jiangzhou City and lived in the outer courtyard of Baiyun Gate.

Gu Mingchuan was going to say hello to them and then leave Jiangzhou City.

The first thing to do is to retrieve all the sword manuals and martial arts techniques that Wu Zang had hidden away.

As for Xue Ruoyu, she is already engaged, so it would be better to let "Hou Longtao" disappear. This would be good for everyone.

The carriage started to move.

This carriage was left for him by Jiang Yihong. The coachman is very skilled, but to be honest, in terms of stability, it is far from comparable to a car.

As time went by, he couldn't help but recall the wonderful experience of last night.

To be honest, when the crucial moment came last night and Miss Qin'er whispered in his ear, "This is my first time, please have mercy on me, sir," he hesitated for a moment.

He was a little scared after being tricked by Yaoer last time.

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot.

So he took another safe passage, which was indeed a completely different experience.

……

In the outer courtyard of Baiyun Sect, several large empty courtyards were cleared out to provide accommodation for those who came from afar and wanted to join Baiyun Sect.

Of course, it costs money.

Gu Wendi and Gu Mingyi, uncle and nephew, live in the same room, not because they can't afford to stay in the inn in the city, but because it is safer here.

It was somewhat risky for them to come to Jiangzhou at this time.

No matter whether it is the Qinglong Gang or the Li family, if they encounter them alone, they will definitely not mind getting rid of them.

But they had to take the risk.

When Gu Wendi thought of this, he felt a little bitter.

The Gu family has actually fallen to such a state that they have to let their own children join other sects and use the reputation of other sects to intimidate others.

Although, the Li family, the Jiang family and the Fan family have been doing this kind of thing all the time.

But the Gu family is a thousand-year-old family with its own pride and has never disdained to do such a thing.

The patriarch's decision meant that the Gu family was almost at the end of its rope.

Gu Mingyi is the most talented among the Ming generation, but when he arrived at Baiyun Sect, he could only be an ordinary inner sect disciple.

This is the person who will support the Gu family in the future.

Gu Wendi let out a sigh.

As for Gu Mingchuan and Gu Mingyan, although they are extremely powerful, no one will pin their hopes for the future on them.

No one knows when they will break the rules and become useless.

Or like the ascetics in history, give up everything, return to the cave to practice asceticism, and never care about worldly affairs again.

For a thousand years, these two fates have been the fate of all ascetics without exception.

"Fourth uncle."

Gu Mingyi changed his clothes and came out, and the two went to have breakfast together. When they left the yard, they saw a few people coming towards them. Like them, they were all from small families in various places, preparing to join the Baiyun Sect.

The two men didn't say hello and prepared to avoid them.

In the past two days, they have been subjected to a lot of sarcasm and strange words from these people.

There is no way. The Gu family was too famous in the past. A tall tree attracts the wind. When it was powerful, it was glorious. Now that it has declined, it naturally became the object of ridicule by others.

They could only endure it.

Who made these descendants so disappointing?

"Brother Gu!"

When those people saw them, their eyes lit up and they greeted them enthusiastically.

This abnormal attitude confused them.

what's the situation?
"I never thought that you and the Jiang family had such a close relationship."

"As expected of a thousand-year-old family, even the future head of the Jiang family has to give face."

"I apologize for the offense I caused you a few days ago. I hope you will forgive me..."

……

Those people talked at once, flattering them with flattering words and apologizing to them.

Gu Wendi and the other man were a little confused. Why did these people's attitudes change suddenly?
That wasn't the case yesterday.

There must be a reason why someone is arrogant at first and respectful later.

The key point is that Gu Wendi knew very well that the Gu family and the Jiang family had no relationship.

His first reaction was that they must have made a mistake.

When they realize they made a mistake, they will surely be furious...

Gu Wendi quickly clarified, "Did you make a mistake? My Gu family and the Jiang family have no relationship."

"How could it be wrong? Last night at Xiaoyue Tower, Li Jingxuan from the Tang family martial arts gym wanted to kill someone from your Gu family, and Master Jiang Qi personally beat Li Jingxuan to the point of vomiting blood."

"Yes, the news has spread. The Seventh Young Master called that man Brother Gu, and said in person that he was his distinguished guest, and even asked Miss Qin'er to entertain him."

"It is said that he spent the night in Qingxiang Courtyard yesterday. Such good fortune is really enviable to others."

……

Gu Wendi and Gu Mingyi felt confused as they listened to these people talking more and more outrageous things. How come they didn't know that there was such a person in the Gu family?
In order to make Mr. Jiang Qi a VIP, he had to invite the top three courtesans who only sell their art but not their bodies to entertain him.

Who in the Gu family has such a face?

Not to mention the Gu family, there are not many people in the entire Jiangzhou who have such face, right?
"and many more."

Gu Wendi quickly interrupted them and asked, "What's the name of the Gu family member you are talking about?"

One of them said, "It seems his name is Gu Mingchuan."

Is it him?

Gu Wendi and Gu Mingyi found it hard to believe. How could this be possible?
Just then, a familiar voice came over, "Fourth Uncle."

The two turned around and saw that it was Gu Mingchuan.

They were in a daze and almost thought they were hallucinating, but when they looked again, it was indeed Gu Mingchuan.

When those people saw that someone was looking for them, they left tactfully.

Gu Mingchuan smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, you guys are quite popular here."

Gu Wendi said silently in his heart, it’s all thanks to you.

"Let's go and talk outside."

……

After leaving Baiyun Gate, Gu Wendi was alone and asked seriously, "Do you really know the Seventh Young Master of the Jiang Family?"

"real."

"Did he really help you out in Xiaoyue Tower last night and even injured Li Jingxuan?"

"You all know this?"

Gu Mingchuan was a little surprised. The news spread really quickly.

When Gu Wendi and Gu Mingyi heard him admit it, they were shocked, excited, and incredulous. "How did you two know each other? Why did he help you?"

Gu Mingchuan said lightly, "Because I saved him once."

You, save him?

Gu Wendi was a little bit unconvinced. What level of cultivation did the eldest son of the Jiang family have?
In his opinion, Gu Mingchuan was only at the first level of Gangyuan.

However, seeing that Gu Mingchuan did not elaborate, he did not ask more. Maybe it was related to the Jiang family's secret.

Gu Mingchuan talked about business, "Fourth Uncle, I have to leave Jiangzhou City to do something. I will be back in ten days at most and five days at least. After the Baiyun Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony is over, don't leave yet. Wait for me to come back and go back to Minglong City together."

"it is good."

Gu Wendi agreed, without asking him what he was going to do.

After this incident, the importance of Gu Mingchuan in his heart had completely changed, and he could no longer treat him as a junior.

……

Gu Mingchuan left Jiangzhou City alone and headed straight south.

The hometown of that cheap master Qi Wu is in Tonggu Mansion in Jiangzhou, not far from Jiangzhou City.

after one day.

He arrived in Tonggu Prefecture and spent some time before arriving at a small town called Qingshi Town.

In a valley thirty miles outside the town, there is a very deep pool.

Gu Mingchuan dived into the pool and soon found something wrapped in cowhide deep in the water. He fished it out on the shore and opened it to find a secret book and a palm-sized bronze mirror fragment.

Got it.
