In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 305 The "Handsome Man Trap" is Even More Effective than the "Honey Trap"
In response to Gu Shaoan's words, Mei Jiangxue nodded and said, "Jiangxue will listen to Senior Brother."

After a pause, Gu Shaoan said, "If you feel frustrated, you can go in and beat him up to vent your anger."

With Gu Shaoan's current medical skills, as long as the injury is not to a vital organ like the head, Gu Shaoan can save the patient.

If it weren't for the Emei Sect's principle of killing without torturing, it wouldn't be unreasonable to add some of the Tianxiang Douka powder to Mei Jiangxue's hands or weapons before taking action.

Mei Jiangxue shook her head and said, "It's better not to, so as not to affect Senior Brother's affairs."

Abbess Juechen asked, "How should we handle the aftermath of Wuzheng Manor's affairs?"

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Miejue said, "According to Shao'an, Zhu Wushi will handle some of the follow-up matters. However, Wuzheng Manor is a first-class force in the martial arts world. If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the Emei Sect."

"I will write a letter later and have the elders send it to Shaolin and Wudang, and invite people from Wudang and Shaolin to come to my Emei."

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "I will personally lead Jiang Xue and the people from Wudang and Shaolin to escort Yuan Dongyuan to Wuzheng Manor to handle the aftermath."

Gu Santong pointed to the room where Yuan Dongyuan was being held and asked, "Has this guy been staying with me all this time?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan replied, "Let me take him to the back mountain and lock him up later! There might be other people coming later."

Gu Santong raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean the people from Wuzheng Manor and Bat Island will secretly come to rescue people?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "Neither Wuzheng Manor nor Bat Island are worth worrying about. Rather, it is another force behind the former Dongyuan."

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, the group was momentarily stunned.

Abbess Juechen asked, "Is the matter very troublesome?"

Not only Abbess Juechen, but also Abbess Miejue, Abbess Juejue, and Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan all looked at Gu Shaoan.

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan said, "Besides the lord of Wuzheng Manor and the lord of Bat Island, Yuan Dongyuan is also one of the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Gu Santong's face darkened. "Kid, are you sure?"

Gu Shaoan looked at the three passages of the ancient road: "Not only Yuan Dongyuan, but also Shangguan Jin Hong of the Money Gang and Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, are the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society."

If the news that Yuan Dongyuan was the leader of the Qinglong Society only surprised Gu Santong and his companions a little...

As soon as Gu Shaoan said these words, the expressions of the others changed drastically.

In response, Gu Shaoan recounted some of the information about the Azure Dragon Society to the group.

This even includes the two recruitment attempts by the Azure Dragon Society.

Abbess Miejue said in a deep voice, "Although the Azure Dragon Society was strong before, it was still just a Jianghu force. But this time, even a member of the royal family, such as the Iron-Blooded Marquis, has joined them. Their ambitions are not small."

Gu Santong said with a solemn expression, "I underestimated Zhu Tiedan before. I didn't expect his ambition to be even greater than I imagined."

Although the others did not speak, they all understood the meaning behind Abbess Miejue's and Gu San's conversation.

Zhu Wushi is now honored as the Iron-Blooded Marquis, holding a highly respected position in the imperial court.

In terms of status alone, he was second only to the emperor.

Given Zhu Wushi's status and current achievements, the only thing that could attract him to join the Azure Dragon Society is the dragon throne in the imperial palace.

Abbess Juechen said in a deep voice, "It seems that both the martial arts world and the imperial court are about to be thrown into turmoil."

As she spoke, Abbess Juechen looked at Gu Shaoan and said, "Since you know that the Azure Dragon Society is behind the Yuan Dongyuan, isn't it a bit risky to do this today?"

Gu Shaoan responded, "My dealing with Yuan Dongyuan was because Yuan Dongyuan took the initiative to cause trouble this time, and given his background with Bat Island, it didn't involve the Azure Dragon Society."

"Moreover, since I destroyed Yuan Dongyuan in front of so many people, Yuan Dongyuan's greatest value to the Azure Dragon Society is gone."

"The Azure Dragon Society will not continue to focus its attention on me because of a cripple."

"But just to be on the safe side, we need to have Zhu Wushi meet with Yuan Dongyuan first and get him involved."

Abbess Miejue asked, "You mean, Zhu Wushi was unaware that Yuan Dongyuan was also one of the leaders of the Azure Dragon Society?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "That's right! As far as I know, the Azure Dragon Society is different now than before. Apart from that Grand Dragon Leader, none of the other Dragon Leaders know each other's identities."

After listening to Gu Shaoan's words, Abbess Juechen pondered for a moment and then replied, "Your master and I were wondering why you suddenly became so sharp and aggressive. Now it seems that you must have your own reasons for doing so."

Gu Shaoan picked up the teacup on the table and refilled the teacups of Abbess Miejue and the others.

“In the past, the Emei Sect was weak, and the disciples, masters, and uncles were not strong enough, so they were inevitably a little cautious in doing things. But now we are facing the Azure Dragon Society. If we still hesitate when we encounter problems, it will make the Azure Dragon Society think that we are easy to manipulate, and then they will take advantage of us.”

"The best course of action is to make the Azure Dragon Society wary, so as to prevent them from dragging our Emei Sect into their schemes from the very beginning."

Abbess Miejue nodded first, then shook her head and said, "There are too many things involved here, and it's probably impossible to explain them all in a short time. Even your senior sister and I can hardly understand everything."

"Although I am the current head of the Emei Sect, in the hearts of both your master and your uncle, the Emei Sect is now all about you."

"Now that you've made your decision, you can handle everything yourself. If there's anything you can do to help your master or your uncle, just let me know."

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

For Gu Shaoan, besides the kindness shown to him by Abbess Miejue and Juechen, what made him feel even more comfortable was the trust that Abbess Miejue and the others placed in him.

It was this unconditional trust that allowed Gu Shaoan to prepare and plan ahead for many things, even without having to explain them clearly.

After thinking for a moment, Abbess Miejue said, "It just so happens that Yan'er's father arrived a few days ago. Tomorrow we will set your wedding date with him and then start preparing the invitations, which will be sent to Wudang and Shaolin together later."

"Okay, I'll do whatever Master says."

A moment later, after Abbess Miejue and the others left with Yuan Dongyuan, Gu Santong placed a pot of wine in front of Gu Shaoan.

After a few drinks, Gu Santong said, "No wonder you always put the Emei Sect and the Miejue Sect first in everything you do. It's truly enviable to have such a mentor."

In their youth, everyone yearns for the world of martial arts.

Only after truly experiencing the world of martial arts do you realize that while it is indeed thrilling, the thrill eventually becomes tiring and tedious. Unfortunately, most people, after chasing their way through the martial arts world, turn around and suddenly find that those who were once important to them are no longer there.

Therefore, most people in the martial arts world often end up as lonely individuals.

The ancient three-way passage is a prime example.

If it weren't for Gu Shaoan, Gu Santong would still be just a first-class prisoner.

Gu Shaoan smiled as he watched Gu Santong, who had taken a sip of wine and suddenly become sentimental.

"Then I must congratulate you, senior."

Gu Santong paused, his hand holding the wine jug, and asked with some confusion, "Congratulations on what?"

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "My master and uncle can also be friends with Uncle Gu and Miss Suxin. Although the way they get along is slightly different, having such friends who can put your mind at ease is a blessing for you, senior and Miss Suxin."

Gu Santong thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

As he spoke, Gu Santong said, "So the best thing for me is to stay in your Emei Sect for the rest of my life, and then be a gatekeeper for your Emei Sect, protecting your Emei Sect, right?"

Gu Shaoan laughed and said, "Since it's home, we should naturally help take care of it. Otherwise, even if Uncle Gu is willing to eat and stay for free, Miss Suxin will feel embarrassed."

Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan and said, "It's a pity that Cihang Jingzhai doesn't accept male disciples. Otherwise, with your cunning and good looks, your charm might be more effective than Cihang Jingzhai's seduction."

Su Xin, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "San Tong is right. Someone like Young Hero Gu will probably make countless women swoon in the future."

Gu Shaoan chuckled and said, "It seems that Miss Suxin should spend less time with Uncle Gu. Now she's even teasing me along with Uncle Gu."

After chatting with the two for a while, Gu Shaoan got up and walked towards the back of Mount Da'e.

Considering Yuan Dongyuan's identity and former strength, Abbess Miejue did not simply lock Yuan Dongyuan in a room in the back mountain, but instead locked him in her own courtyard.

When they entered the room where Yuan Dongyuan was being held, Yuan Dongyuan, who had previously been unconscious, had already regained consciousness.

Because his acupoints were pressed and his martial arts were crippled, Yuan Dongyuan could only lie in bed and was unable to move.

After moving a stool over and sitting down, Gu Shaoan released several bursts of energy from his fingertips, releasing the acupoints in Yuan Dongyuan's body.

There was no expected madness, nor the expected uproar.

After regaining her mobility, Yuan Dongyuan simply sat up calmly against the wall and looked at Gu Shaoan.

The calm and composure that Yuan Dongyuan is displaying at this moment are worthy of his status as the owner of Wuzheng Manor.

After a long silence, Yuan Dongyuan finally spoke: "No one under my command would be foolish enough to come and forcibly invite me after knowing my identity as Young Master Gu. Now that we are all alone, Young Master Gu, can you tell me where you learned about my relationship with Bat Island?"

In response to Yuan Dongyuan's question, Gu Shaoan replied, "Now that everything has been discussed openly, does it still matter where I learned it from?"

Yuan Dongyuan chuckled lightly: "It's not important, but at least it will allow me to die knowing why."

Gu Shaoan looked at Yuan Dongyuan and said, "I thought that Master Yuan would say something else to make me let you off the hook."

Yuan Dongyuan shook his head and said, "When you learned of my identity before, your killing intent was too obvious. If you could have such killing intent towards me, you wouldn't let me go."

After a pause, Yuan Dongyuan changed the subject and said, "But I still can't figure out what I did to offend Young Master Gu in the past?"

"There are several reasons, but unfortunately, Mr. Gu cannot say any of them."

Yuan Dongyuan chuckled: "I'm already a cripple, yet I never expected to still make Young Master Gu so wary."

Gu Shaoan said softly, "In the martial world, it's always good to be careful. Even an ordinary beggar on the street is not to be underestimated by me, let alone someone like Master Yuan. It's never too much to be careful."

"Is this why you wanted to cripple my martial arts as soon as you found a reason?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "That's right!"

In response, Yuan Dongyuan sighed: "If I hadn't made the wrong judgment at the beginning and thought that I wouldn't be in any danger today, even if I was no match for you, I would still have had a chance to leave."

"Unfortunately, one wrong move can lead to total defeat."

Gu Shaoan did not refute this.

The strength of the former Dongyuan is far more complex than it appears.

Gu Shaoan was even certain that Yuan Dongyuan's strength was still above Shangguan Jin Hong's.

If Yuan Dongyuan had truly gone all out from the start, even if Gu Shaoan wanted to defeat or even take down Yuan Dongyuan, it would have taken at least five moves.

Unfortunately, Yuan Dongyuan was too confident in his own abilities and did not realize the extent of Gu Shaoan's strength.

This is why Gu Shaoan was always extremely cautious when facing enemies and never underestimated any foe.

Gu Shaoan said, "As expected of the master of Wuzheng Manor, even at this point, the former master can still remain so calm. I admire him."

Yuan Dongyuan said calmly, "In the martial world, life and death are determined by fate. Since things have come to this, the worst that can happen is death."

"Didn't the former owner of the manor consider the interests of Wuzheng Manor?"

Yuan Dongyuan chuckled softly.

"Bat Island was built by a certain person, and everything Bat Island has done over the years has also been done by that same person. What does it have to do with Wuzheng Manor?"

However, upon hearing Yuan Dongyuan's words, Gu Shaoan burst out laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke.

After a long pause, under the watchful eyes of Yuan Dongyuan, Gu Shaoan said calmly, "I thought that the former master of the manor must have thought of a way out before daring to establish Bat Island, so that he would have a way to deal with it even if the truth came out later."

"I never expected that the former master of the manor would be such a naive person."

"Does the former master really think that after what happened today, Wuzheng Manor will be completely unscathed?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dongyuan's expression gradually darkened.

"Do you really intend to wipe them all out?"
