All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 158 The water was stirred up and turned yellow.

The wind blows the withered leaves, and the morning mist is hazy.

The fog is cold.

Gongsun Lan is very hot.

"Now it's all right, I've fulfilled the bet and even paid the interest."

Gongsun Lan was somewhat weak.
I drank way too much last night, but then I excreted even more.

In the process of going back and forth, some consumption is inevitable.

"Are you satisfied?"

Wang Gan sighed and, just like last night, extended one index finger.

Gongsun Lan's expression immediately changed.
Drinking alcohol continuously will only lead to incontinence; if you keep doing this, you will eventually lose control of your bowels.

"I'm not teasing you anymore,"

Wang Gan smiled.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Gongsun Lan snorted coldly.
It was just an excuse to vent Ouyang Qing's anger. Gongsun Lan originally wanted to test the true nature of the Heavenly Mystery Prince. It would be best if he could be used by them.

The Red Shoes have indeed been in trouble lately because of their organization.

"The eighteen luminous pearls of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, the seventy scrolls of calligraphy and paintings treasured by Huayuxuan, the eight hundred thousand taels of silver from Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and the ninety thousand taels of gold from Jinsha River were all looted."

Wang Gan nodded.

"You red shoes are truly remarkable, having offended both the legitimate and criminal worlds!"

Gongsun Lan rolled her eyes dramatically.
"There are only eight of us in the Red Shoes gang. How could we have committed such a heinous crime?"

“We women are physically weak, we can’t bear such a heavy burden.”

Although the Red Shoes organization is mysterious, it is only a small group of eight people, which is equivalent to a gathering of close girlfriends. In terms of power, they cannot afford to offend so many behemoths.

That's why Gongsun Lan was so eager to find the mastermind behind it all.

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

"But your red shoes and the needlework unique to women were left at the crime scene."

"They're obviously after your red shoes."

Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Gan, a smile playing on her lips.

"That's why I thought of you—the all-knowing Master of Heavenly Secrets. You must know who's behind this, right?"

Wang Gan nodded.

“I do have someone in mind—Lu Xiaofeng.”

Gongsun Lan frowned slightly.
"Lu Xiaofeng? Isn't he a busybody? How could he have committed so many serious crimes?"

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

“Lu Xiaofeng’s lightness skill is superb and his martial arts are first-class, which are prerequisites for committing a major crime. Moreover, he knows the Lingxi Finger, so his finger technique must also be top-notch. Therefore, it is also reasonable that he can embroider and is proficient in needlework.”

"In addition, he spends money like water. If he wants to maintain this kind of lifestyle, he has to have some tricks up his sleeve."

Gongsun Lan seemed to be deep in thought.
"It does make sense."

"If it weren't for the fact that our eighth son, Xue Bing, and Lu Xiaofeng were lovers, I would have believed your nonsense."

Gongsun Lan's expression shifted, and her face showed some disgust.

"You wouldn't be thinking of framing Lu Xiaofeng so you can take over Xue Bing's business, would you?!"

Wang Gan frowned.
"Am I the kind of person who would betray my brothers and have designs on my sister-in-law?"

"This is simply alarmist!"

Gongsun Lan sneered, "If I hadn't lost my virginity yesterday, I would have believed you this time."

"But then again, Lu Xiaofeng is indeed an easy target for framing."

Gongsun Lan seemed to be deep in thought.
As the leader of the Red Shoes sect, she was also quite intelligent and understood Wang Gan's meaning.

"At least, we can muddy the waters."

Wang Gan laughed heartily.
As expected of the woman who had been connected with him, she was in perfect harmony with him.

"That's right. I was also falsely accused of being the Plum Blossom Bandit at first, but then I stirred up trouble, and they couldn't track me down anymore." Gongsun Lan said with some curiosity.
"So how did you muddy the waters in the first place?"

Wang Gan sighed.

"I just turned plain water into yellow water."

the other side,
Regarding the last question asked to Sikong Zhaixing...

Who told him to steal the Heavenly Secret Staff?
Lu Xiaofeng naturally didn't get an answer. Just as Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth to ask, Sikong Zhaixing ran away.

They ran very fast and without hesitation.

With his lightness skill, which is no less than Lu Xiaofeng's, and his superb disguise skills, if Sikong Zhaixing didn't want to be found by Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng would have a very hard time finding him.

More importantly, Lu Xiaofeng was covered in sweat, exhausted and hungry, and had no interest in chasing after that guy Sikong Zhaixing.

All he wants now is to have a big meal—to eat vegetarian food at Master Bitter Gourd's restaurant!
Master Bitter Gourd's vegetarian dishes are unparalleled in the martial arts world; everyone who has tried them raves about them.

However, Master Bitter Gourd's vegetarian meals are not for everyone; only the right people can eat them, and those who come must bathe, burn incense, and wait for a long time.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng didn't need to—because he was shameless.

With his unparalleled lightness skill, Lu Xiaofeng easily scaled the wall and entered Master Bitter Gourd's meditation room.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled smugly.
Vegetarian ham, vegetarian duck, and potsticker tofu were prominently displayed in front of me.

Without hesitation, Lu Xiaofeng began to feast.

"Oh no, a thief!"

A familiar voice rang out; it was Hua Manlou, who was also waiting for Master Kugua's vegetarian feast.

At the same time, two other figures followed in. One of them was an old Taoist priest dressed in blue, who was calm and composed. He was actually the fourth-ranked Wudang elder, Mu Daoren!

The other one is surprisingly the Bitter Gourd Master.

Although Lu Xiaofeng stole everyone's vegetarian food, no one cared, because he was the kind of guy that people both loved and hated.

"You look like a stinking dog pulled out of the mud!"

Hua Manlou's nose suffered.
The scent emanating from Lu Xiaofeng was like a magical attack to him.

Lu Xiaofeng swallowed the last bite of vegetarian duck and sighed.

"It's a long story."

The wooden Taoist laughed.
"Then let's make a long story short!"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed again.

"I did it to pay off my gambling debts, to pay off Sikong Zhaixing's gambling debts."

"We had a somersault competition. I won last time, but this time Sikong Zhaixing is really going all out; she's been practicing head somersaults every day..."

Hua Manlou laughed,
"And then you gave up?"

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands.
"This guy did 680 somersaults in an hour, do you think he's going to die?"

"I lost the bet, and this guy made me dig up 680 earthworms! I dug for ten days straight before I finally found 680 earthworms."

Master Bitter Gourd laughed,

"I never thought the famous Lu Xiaofeng would admit defeat!"

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly laughed.
"Fortunately, Sikong Zhaixing didn't fare any better; he was ordered to steal something!"

Hua Manlou's Strange Path
"what?"

Lu Xiaofeng just shook his head and remained silent. It was mealtime, and if he were to talk about this again, he would throw up everywhere!

The wooden Taoist suddenly spoke, his expression meaningful.

"Indeed, he's no longer the most prominent figure in the martial arts world!"

Even the Bitter Gourd Master laughed.
"That's right, the one who was initially in the limelight has now become Young Master Tianji and his weapon ranking list!"

Hua Manlou laughed,
"Indeed, ever since the appearance of the Heavenly Mystery Prince, Lu Xiaofeng has had no chance to solve cases and has been beaten into 'Lu the Bald Without Eyebrows'!"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened.

"When...when did this happen?!"
