Chapter 86: Lonely Soul Seeking Life (Fourth Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
Gu Mingchuan had inquired about it before he came to Pingjiang Prefecture last time.

There are three major families in Pingjiang Prefecture, the Zhang family, the Qin family, and the Zhuang family. Each family has a master in charge. In terms of strength, the Zhang family is the leader.

It is said that this person was born in a poor family, but had a miraculous encounter at a young age, and cultivated all the way to the Shenzang realm. His descendants also worked hard, and in just a few decades, they rose to become the largest family in Pingjiang Prefecture.

This life template can be said to be quite inspirational.

Unfortunately, when he met the unreasonable Xue Ruoyu, he knelt down immediately.

Xue Ruoyu, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, really treated human life as worthless and killed all the direct descendants of the Zhang family. Only Zhang Zhuofeng escaped because he was out of town.

Although this was to avenge "Hou Longtao", I was definitely moved.

However, this style of behavior is a bit scary. Later, he really got together with her, and she found out that he was cheating on her...

Too dangerous.

The Gu family that Gu Mingchuan came from is not as strong as the Zhang family.

"…I heard that the Qin family invited the master of zither from Xiaoyue Tower to celebrate the old lady's 80th birthday. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. When the Qin family's carriage entered the city that day, the streets were deserted. The governor ordered soldiers to clear the way. The scene was so spectacular."

"It's really rare that the Qin family could invite Master Qin."

"You probably don't know this. The eldest daughter of the Qin family is a true disciple of the Baiyun Sect and is on good terms with the Qin family. With her invitation, the Qin family will naturally give her face."

"Doesn't that mean that when we go to the Qin residence on the birthday banquet day, we can hear the master's zither performance?"

……

The people in the restaurant turned the topic to other things.

Xiaoyue Tower, a master of the zither?
Gu Mingchuan looked a little strange, could it be her?
boom!
Suddenly, someone slammed the wine jug on the table and said indignantly, "What kind of zither master is this? She's just a bitch!"

This statement naturally aroused the anger of the crowd. "How dare you be so rude to Master Qin?"

"You bastard, you drank a few pounds of horse urine and are talking nonsense here."

"Which bastard let you out because his belt wasn't fastened tightly? Get out of here right now."

……

Gu Mingchuan looked over and saw that the person who made the rude remarks was a drunkard, about thirty years old, with an untidy beard. His clothes were a little dirty, but one could tell that the material was of unusual quality.

When this person heard those dirty words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Humph!"

With a cold snort, those people who spoke harshly screamed and fell to the ground.

Everyone showed fear on their faces, only then did they realize that the drunkard was actually a master. They quickly paid the bill and fled.

Grandmaster!

Gu Mingchuan saw this person's true cultivation level and became curious about who this person was.

Just as he was thinking, a few people suddenly came up to him in a hurry, walked up to him, looked at him carefully, and asked with a look of surprise, "Excuse me, is this Hou Gong Long Tao in person?"

Gu Mingchuan looked at him in surprise. The man was dressed like a butler. He said, "My name is Hou Longtao. Who are you?"

"It really is Lord Hou!" The man was overjoyed. "I am Qin Fu, the steward of the Qin Mansion. On the orders of the master, I sincerely invite you to the Qin Mansion for a chat."

Gu Mingchuan said, "Qin family? I don't think I know your master?"

"My master has heard of your great name for a long time. He is on his way from the governor's mansion and will be here soon."

Of course Gu Mingchuan knew that this was because of Xue Ruoyu.

Maybe, his portrait was given to the Qin family, asking the Qin family to help keep an eye out.

Seeing how frightened people were, the head of the Qin family actually came to invite him in person.

At this time, the Grandmaster looked over here and sized him up. "Are you the Hou Longtao that the unruly young lady from the Xue family fell in love with? Did you know that she expelled the Zhang family from this city for you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people who had not yet left the restaurant looked at Gu Mingchuan with eyes that suddenly became filled with respect and fear.

The Zhang family of Pingjiang City was once so powerful, but overnight, they were uprooted and completely eliminated.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the city.

Everyone knows that the Zhang family offended the Xue family and was destroyed by the Xue family.

But I didn't expect that it was all for the man in front of me.

The drunkard didn't wait for Gu Mingchuan to speak, and said, "I don't know whether it is your luck or misfortune to be favored by that unruly girl. You should take care of yourself."

After saying that, he got up and left drunkenly.

……

"Qin is late, please forgive me, Master Hou."

Quarter of an hour later, a wealthy middle-aged man came to the restaurant and bowed to Gu Mingchuan in a very humble manner.

Gu Mingchuan stood up and returned the greeting, "Mr. Qin, you are too polite. What have I done to deserve such courtesy from you, Mr. Qin?"

This person is clearly a master, and is definitely a guy who can bend and stretch. For example, Zheng Xianlong and Pan Haibo do not show any arrogance of a master.

This kind of talent is even more terrifying.

"Mr. Hou, there is no need to be modest. When you attacked and killed Zhang Zhuohang at the Su family, you had such courage that not everyone could have it. You were able to remain unharmed even when being chased by Taoist Guangyuan. You are truly a young hero."

These rainbow farts come one after another.

Gu Mingchuan responded with a smile, and finally, at Qin Zhicai's invitation, he went to Qin's house and stayed there.

He knew that Qin Zhicai must have sent someone to inform Xue Ruoyu as soon as possible.

However, he didn't care.

His target is the Golden Xuan Crystal.

Now, this news is spreading like wildfire, and there must be someone spreading it with ulterior motives. He believes that there are many people who are tempted by a spiritual object like the Golden Mystic Crystal. All he needs to do is wait and see.

……

At this time, in Pingjiang City, in the study room in the backyard of the Zhuang family.

A man in black stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "The Zhang family still has a piece of golden crystal hidden. Is this news accurate?"

Zhuang Hao, the head of the Zhuang family, stood aside solemnly and said carefully, "Reporting to the deputy altar master, Qin Zhicai went to great lengths to capture Zhang Zhuofeng alive, and even injured one of his sons for this. There should be accurate information."

The man in black said, "The Dawn Messenger of our sect has issued an order to seize the Golden Mysterious Crystal. After the task is completed, you will be credited with a great achievement."

Zhuang Hao said, "I will do my best to get the spiritual object for the envoy. But my strength is only equal to that of Qin Zhicai. I am afraid..."

The man in black said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Qin Zhicai, and the rest will be left to you."

"Yes."

"I heard that the master of the zither at Xiaoyue Tower is now living in the Qin family?"

Zhuang Hao lowered his head even lower. "That's right. I found out that she lives in the west courtyard. This is the Qin family's map."

He presented a piece of paper.

"good."

The man in black took it and chuckled, "It is said that the zither player of Xiaoyue Tower is the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou. She is as beautiful as a fairy and her zither skills are advanced. I have longed for her for a long time, but I didn't expect that she would leave Jiangzhou and let me finally get what I want."

As he spoke, the figure disappeared.

Zhuang Hao raised his head, with no expression on his face, and silently said in his heart, Golden Xuan Crystal!
He already had some guesses about the identity of the deputy leader of the Xuanming Sect.

In Jiangzhou, a lone thief has emerged in recent years. He is a master, comes and goes without a trace, never leaves anyone alive, and is lustful. He is nicknamed the Lonely Soul Seeker.

The masters of the Demon Suppression Division chased him several times, but he escaped each time. At least he was a master who opened four sacred treasures.

In Jiangzhou, those with such cultivation level are all well-known figures. By using the process of elimination, we can infer the true identity of this deputy leader.

With this person taking action, Qin Zhicai will definitely die this time.

By then, the entire Pingjiang Prefecture will be dominated by the Zhuang family.

……

That night, Gu Mingchuan stayed at Qin's house.

He sent away all the maids sent by the Qin family to serve him, and sat cross-legged on the bed. It seemed that he was practicing martial arts, but in fact he was eavesdropping on the entire Qin family.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the "Seeing from Heaven and Hearing from Earth" method, any movement in the Qin family will not escape his ears.

The master of horizontal training has all his body functions improved in an all-round way. Within a radius of ten kilometers, as long as the sound is not too small, he can hear it.

There are a large number of people in the entire Qin Mansion.

There are Qin family members, servants and maids, and animals and insects...

Various sounds came through.

Gu Mingchuan spent half an hour and finally made a discovery. Somewhere underground, someone was shouting something like "Old Ghost Qin, you shall not die well."

It should be Zhang Zhuofeng, the last living member of the Zhang family.

That place was under the Qin family's backyard, about 3,000 meters away from where he lived.

The key point is that Qin Zhicai lives right next door, so it is not realistic to sneak in without being discovered.

Unless Qin Zhicai can be lured away.

At this moment, Gu Mingchuan caught an unusual sound of breaking through the air.

His heart moved, "Someone broke into the Qin family!"

Moreover, he is a master.

The opportunity is coming!

……

After a while, Gu Mingchuan discovered that the intruder had arrived at the east yard.

Then, a woman's voice was heard, "Mr. Zhao, my lady will not see you, please leave quickly."

This voice sounds very familiar.

Gu Mingchuan quickly remembered, wasn’t that one of Miss Qin’er’s maids?

When he stayed at Xiaoyue Tower, three maids eavesdropped on him outside the wall all night.

He knew who the intruder was.

The drunkard I met in the restaurant during the day, his surname was Zhao, could it be that Zhao?

Sure enough, the drunkard's voice came, begging, "Qin'er, please come out and see me. I forgive you. I don't care about what happened between you and that person. I just ask you to come out and see me..."

It turned out to be Qin Er's suitor.

Gu Mingchuan suddenly realized that he had been so tough in the hotel, but in front of Qin'er, he turned into a bootlicker.

I only heard the maid say, "Mr. Zhao, please respect yourself."

"Qin'er, please come out... I've been so good to you, I've given you my whole heart, why are you doing this to me?"

"Could it be... that you are still thinking about that guy named Gu?"

"I...I'm going to kill him right now!"
