"I never expected you to be so rich."

Has Qianchousi made that much money lately?

Haitang exclaimed in surprise when she saw the silver notes that Gu Qianbei took out.

"Having roamed the martial world for so long, I've naturally made some money."

Gu Qianbei laughed.

Haitang smiled upon hearing this and did not pursue the matter further.

"By the way, the resort seems quite lively today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"A new member has joined the Number One Manor in the World today. Brother Gu, would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"Oh? I wonder what kind of newcomer they are."

"The greatest illusionist in the world is named Gonggong. His magic tricks have become quite interesting."

Gu Qianbei's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this just the beginning of the story?

"That's definitely worth seeing."

With such a lively scene, Gu Qianbei had no reason not to go and watch.

"But this spectacle won't be for nothing. There's still something I need to take care of today."

Perhaps I need your help.

"What's wrong?"

Have you heard about General Yang Yuxuan's case lately?

Gu Qianbei shook her head slightly.

"I've been busy traveling around lately, so I haven't paid attention to these things."

"General Yang Yuxuan was a loyal minister, but he was falsely accused by Cao Zhengchun of treason and colluding with the enemy, which led to the execution of his entire family. Only his two children managed to escape."

The reason General Yang was talked back to was because his sworn brother Bai Wuxia submitted a letter of denunciation to the Eastern Depot.

He was actually giving false testimony to frame his own sworn brother.

We have now ascertained the matter and are planning to arrest this man and strip him of his reputation as the greatest gentleman in the land.

After Haitang briefly explained it, Gu Qianbei remembered.

That is indeed true.

"Speaking of Bai Wuxia, I've disliked him before, and I don't think he's a good person."

Master, it's not that I want to say anything, but what gentleman would accept the title of the greatest gentleman in the world?

Only you guys would dare to issue such a title.

Gu Qianbei couldn't help but complain.

The title "Number One Gentleman Under Heaven" sounds like it belongs to a hypocrite.

A true gentleman would never have the nerve to do that.

Haitang gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm just sticking to the gimmick you mentioned before about spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones."

"That depends on whether they truly deserve it."

"Now we've got an extra spy from the Eastern Depot."

"I'll be more careful in the future."

Haitang knew that the number one manor in the world had failed in this matter, so she didn't try to argue.

The two then headed towards the hall.

Gu Qianbei also met the illusionist named Gonggong.

She has a grand name, but she's actually a delicate little girl, which is quite a contrast.

The little girl even played a trick on Qin Zhong, the strongest man in the world, which made everyone quite happy.

After confirming the addition of the newcomer, Bai Wuxia was called to the backyard by Haitang.

Gu Qianbei was already waiting there.

However, while waiting, Gu Qianbei encountered two more people.

"Brother Duan, Brother Guihai, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing the two who had suddenly arrived, Gu Qianbei bowed slightly in greeting.

"It's you."

Gui Haiyi gave Gu Qianbei a cold look and recognized his identity.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Long time no see, Brother Gu. You're back?"

"Yeah, I just got back today and ran into this commotion. You all look travel-worn, just got back from outside?"

"No comment."

Guihai Yidao said coldly.

Duan Tianya said somewhat awkwardly, "It involves the secrets of the Imperial Guards, so it's not convenient to tell Brother Gu."

"It's alright, I had a pretty good idea. By the way, how was Yukihime after she went back with you?"

"She's doing well. By the time I left Japan, she had already become the heir to the Yagyu family."

Her brother, Yagyu Jubei, has been completely defeated by her.

Duan Tianya said.

"As expected of Yukihime, she's truly amazing."

Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction.

"Bai Wuxia has arrived."

Guihai Yidao said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the three of them all looked at Bai Wuxia.

They stood behind the screen, and Bai Wuxia did not notice them.

Of course, the more important reason is that he is so guilty right now that he has no intention of observing these things.

Under Haitang's verbal onslaught, Bai Wuxia quickly broke down and confessed to the evil deeds she had committed.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please don't kill me!"

Bai Wuxia knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, showing no trace of gentlemanly conduct.

"What an ugly posture."

Gu Qianbei shook her head slightly.

"People like that don't deserve to live!"

Guihai Yidao speaks very little, but his sword strikes are swift.

The next moment, Bai Wuxia was already covered in blood.

"Master, I didn't even have a chance to make a move. Brother Guihai is quite impatient."

Gu Qianbei laughed.

Gui Haiyi glanced at Gu Qianbei but didn't say anything.

Haitang smiled and said, "I didn't expect them to come back so quickly."

However, I still want to thank Brother Gu for coming and supporting me.

"Of course, after all, I also need your help, Master. Then that's all for me, I'll be going now."

"Okay, I'll contact Brother Gu again later."

Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, then turned and left.

"Haitang, you shouldn't have dragged Gu Qianbei over here."

This is a matter for our own secret agents.

Guihai Yidao said in a low voice.

"It's alright, I trust Brother Gu."

Gui Haiyi's face darkened.

Have Gu Qianbei and Haitang gotten this close?

What exactly happened while he was away?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Haitang, Yidao, we should go report back to our godfather."

Duan Tianya spoke up.

The three of them then headed towards the Dragon Guard Manor.

night.

The main street of Beijing.

Cheng Shifei was sold to the casino by Zhang Laosan, and then sold to the chief eunuch by the casino. He is currently being escorted to the imperial prison, where he will be castrated the next day.

In response, Cheng Shifei wailed incessantly, fearing that he would be implicated.

But these people from the Eastern Depot wouldn't care about him.

Gu Qianbei hid in the shadows, taking in everything.

"Looks like today is the day."

Gu Qianbei followed Cheng Shifei and the others to the Heavenly Prison.

He knocked out another jailer and successfully took his place to infiltrate the prison.

They soon arrived at the cell where Cheng Shifei was located.

At this moment, Cheng Shifei lay on the ground, feeling utterly hopeless, pondering a way to escape.

Gu Qianbei flicked her finger, knocking him unconscious.

He then entered the cell, searching for the secret passage leading to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison.

"Found it."

Gu Qianbei immediately donned golden light and stepped into the secret passage, heading towards the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison.

"Tsk...whoever dug this secret passage is a genius. Watched The Shawshank Redemption, huh?"

Gu Qianbei mentally complained, when suddenly he felt a strong suction force coming from the depths of the secret passage.

"It's Gu Santong's Absorption Technique!"

Gu Qianbei immediately followed the suction force and quickly passed through the secret passage.

boom!

Gu Qianbei landed safely and looked up at the white-haired old man not far away.

"Hahaha! This is really strange. Usually, I can only suck up spiders and rats, but I never expected that a living person would come this time."

Little baby, your skin looks delicious.
