All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 160 Even More Than Cao Cao
List of the true identities of the Embroidered Thieves

[First place, Lu Xiaofeng: Ranked eighth on the Weapon Ranking, possessing top-tier martial arts skills and unparalleled lightness skills. He spends money like water and is also proficient in the rare finger technique 'Lingxi Finger'. Embroidery and needlework are second nature to him, fitting the profile of the "Embroidery Bandit".]

Lu Xiaofeng's face grew increasingly dark, because he discovered that what the Heavenly Secret Report said actually made a lot of sense!
He couldn't refute it for a moment!
But Lu Xiaofeng immediately burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"

"Jin Jiuling, you should be more anxious than me. You are the number one detective in the world, yet you are ranked below me?"

It turns out that the second place on the list was none other than Jin Jiuling himself.

[Second place, Jin Jiuling: Eleventh on the Weapon Ranking. He possesses solid Shaolin Kung Fu skills, but also has a hidden soft power. His daily expenses are equally astonishing, making it even easier for him to steal from his superiors.]

Jin Jiuling snorted coldly.
"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has framed an official of the imperial court, a crime deserving of death. I will settle accounts with them after this matter is over!"

"And look at the people behind them. This Heavenly Secret Report looks completely unreliable. In the end, it's nothing more than sensationalist and baseless speculation."

Although he was very tough on the outside, Jin Jiuling felt a chill in his heart.

Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are.

Similarly, only those who know the truth will know that what the Heavenly Secret Report wrote was not at all wrong to him.

Whether it's his hidden, subtle martial arts skills, his motives, or the fact that he stole from his superior, each point hits the nail on the head. It's just that they don't stand out as much under the popularity of Lu Xiaofeng.

'Could this Young Master of Heavenly Secrets truly possess the knowledge of heavenly secrets?'

'Is it really necessary to expose ourselves in such a ridiculous way before even getting started?'

Jin Jiuling took a deep breath.

No, his conspiracy and ambitions are not yet complete, and right now it's just suspicion. It's likely that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't have any concrete evidence, or they're wary of his official position.

As long as we have Lu Xiaofeng, this sucker, to lead the charge, everything is still not too late!

[Third place: The honest monk: The honest monk is not honest; the line between Buddha and demon is thin. Often, the least likely target is the mastermind behind the scenes.]

[Fourth place, Granny Gongsun: The red shoes and embroidery needle are too obvious evidence, clearly a frame-up, but they cannot dispel Granny Gongsun's suspicions.]

[Fifth place: Sikong Zhaixing; reason same as Lu Xiaofeng.]

Until the very end, Lu Xiaofeng smiled again.

"Hua Manlou, I never expected to see you on this list!"

[Sixth place, Hua Manlou: As a blind man, the long-term lack of sight may have darkened his heart, making him resentful of the martial arts world. So, under the pretext of robbery, he deliberately blinds others to satisfy his perverse desires.]

Hua Manlou laughed upon hearing this.
“Wang Gan truly understands me well. I, who am blind every day, have long been envious of you handsome and perfect people.”

"If my martial arts were as good as Young Master Tianji's, I would make you all go blind!"

Everyone laughed, because everyone knew that Hua Manlou was the least likely person to be involved. Apart from his reputation, the Hua family was one of the wealthiest merchants in the martial arts world, second only to Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world.

If Hua Manlou needed these treasures, he only needed to give an order, and his men would bring them to him.

"On the way here, I was planning to use Sikong Zhaixing to provoke you,"

Jin Jiuling smiled at Lu Xiaofeng,
"But when I saw this celestial report, I knew I had gone to great lengths."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

"That's right, I'm just too nosy, especially since this gossip has reached me."

"Now, I have no choice but to get involved in this Embroidery Thief matter."

Lu Xiaofeng had a vague feeling that he might have fallen into someone's trap again, but since things had come to this point, he could only go with the flow and get involved.

"This is the satin left behind by the Embroidered Thief, and it has the exact same satin pattern as the Red Shoes organization."

Jin Jiuling took out the only clue and showed it to Lu Xiaofeng.

"Well, women's things are naturally for women to see; I know absolutely nothing about them." Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

"Looks like I'll have to find a woman who knows needlework to take a look."

Hua Manlou laughed,
"You're sighing while looking for a woman? It seems the woman you're looking for is not easy to deal with."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly.

"She's not just difficult to deal with, she's a real tigress."

That's right, the woman Lu Xiaofeng is looking for is Xue Bing, the granddaughter of the Needle God and one of the four great tigresses of the martial arts world, who is also Lu Xiaofeng's lover.

Every time Lu Xiaofeng sees Xue Bing, he gets bitten twice.

"Wait!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression suddenly changed.
"Let me get involved. Then, because of the acupuncture technique, I had to go find Xue Bing."

"not good!"

"What happened to you?"

"Isn't the famous Lu Xiaofeng always a self-proclaimed carefree wanderer?"

"Why are you watching me so closely these past few days?"

The speaker was a very beautiful girl, as lovely as a daffodil, quiet and gentle.

It's hard to imagine that this is the infamous Cold Rakshasa Xue Bing.

"You don't understand, there's a guy who only likes other men's women and has his eye on you."

Lu Xiaofeng looked around warily.

They were afraid that some shameless guy would suddenly appear and kidnap Xue Bing.

Xue Bing smiled and said,

"You mean Cao Cao, or Prime Minister Cao, who only likes other men's women?"

"No"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head solemnly.
"That guy is even more shameless than Cao Cao. After all, even Cao Cao wouldn't sleep with his brother's woman."

"But for that guy, it's just one of his many perverted fetishes."

Xue Bing was even more puzzled upon hearing this. This person knew Lu Xiaofeng?

How can someone so openly covet his own brother's woman? Are there really such shameless people in this world?

"So you know someone is thinking about me and has been taking me around everywhere?"

Xue Bing laughed again,
“The most dangerous place is the safest. If you are locked up in one place, that guy’s influence is now all-pervasive and his martial arts are extremely high. You will definitely be captured easily.”

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Moreover, I learned from Xue Shenzhen that the satin left behind by the embroidered thief was indeed embroidered by a woman, so the suspicion against Gongsun Da Niang has increased in my eyes."

Even if Gongsun Da Niang wasn't the murderer, she should still know some clues.

“I’ve inquired around. This Granny Gongsun has many identities to hide. The most recent one is Granny Xiong, who sells chestnuts around here. Once I find her, many of my problems should be solved.”

Xue Bing's expression grew increasingly strange.
Are you sure you want to find Granny Gongsun?

"Of course, I've already found out. No matter how she disguises herself, she has one habit: her shoes are always red with an owl embroidered on them!"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice Xue Bing's strange behavior, but his eyes lit up when he saw an old figure.
