Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

The number one estate in the world.

A thousand sorrows run rampant.

Gu Qianbei placed the injured Haitang on the bed and spoke softly.

How are you feeling?

"It's so hot and uncomfortable. The Fire Cloud Blade's energy struck my chest, and I can't neutralize it with my own internal energy."

Haitang was panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat.

Gu Qianbei took Haitang's pulse and frowned slightly.

"This Fire Cloud Blade is quite remarkable. Although it is extremely yang and strong, it is also extremely insidious. It is a truly bizarre palm strike."

Your internal strength is too weak; it is indeed difficult for you to dispel such palm force.

I'll help you; protect your mind and don't resist.

"it is good."

Haitang nodded slightly and sat up a little straighter.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qianbei immediately circulated his internal energy, placed his palms on Haitang's back, and began to heal her injuries.

Haitang's injury is considered an internal injury, which can be treated with Baimai Huiyuan Wine.

But this kind of injury doesn't need the Hundred Meridians Restoration Wine; otherwise, it would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Another point is that Haitang is, after all, Zhu Wushi's adopted daughter, and he doesn't want to expose this secret of his for the time being.

To avoid Zhu ignoring the problem and causing unnecessary trouble.

I'll treat this as an opportunity to hone my medical skills.

Gu Qianbei's mind raced, and his powerful internal energy had been flowing through Haitang's meridians countless times.

Each combing removes a portion of the Fire Cloud Blade poison from Haitang's body.

Time passed by, and half an hour later, Haitang's complexion had improved considerably.

Gu Qianbei withdrew his hand, and Haitang's body went limp, collapsing into his arms.

With the soft jade in his arms, Gu Qianbei was taken aback.

This crabapple tree has just suffered a serious injury, and its body is weak and unable to support itself. It's normal for it to be in this state now.

At this moment, Haitang's hair was disheveled, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, giving her a unique charm.

A sickly beauty.

"Brother Gu, thank you for saving me. I'm not very strong right now, please help me up."

Haitang blushed slightly, clearly realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, and immediately said softly.

"it is good."

Gu Qianbei composed himself, helped Haitang sit up, and leaned her against the bedside.

"I have expelled the Fiery Cloud Palm Force from your body; now it's just a matter of gradual recovery."

As Gu Qianbei spoke, he poured himself a cup of Immortal Dragon Tiger Wine.

"This wine is an enhanced version of Dragon Tiger Wine. After you drink it, you should regain your strength."

Haitang, unsuspecting, took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The powerful alcohol instantly washed over her meridians, replenishing all the internal energy and physical strength she had just lost.

Not only that, but after the alcohol had done all that, it still had a terrifying amount of residual power, making her feel like her meridians were about to burst.

"Brother Gu! This wine..."

Haitang's face was flushed red, as if she were enduring astonishing pain.

Gu Qianbei was startled upon seeing this, thinking to himself, "Oh no, it seems she's drunk too much. With Haitang's cultivation level, she can't withstand so much power from the Immortal Dragon Tiger Wine."

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Gu Qianbei quickly said, "Activate your internal energy cultivation method and absorb the power of this wine with all your might."

The rest, I'll handle.

Haitang trusted Gu Qianbei implicitly, and having no other choice, she immediately circulated her internal energy to absorb the power of the wine.

Gu Qianbei placed his right palm on Haitang's back, rapidly circulating the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique to help Haitang digest the effects of the alcohol.

Soon, Haitang's cultivation level increased rapidly, as if it were on a rocket.

Late-stage Grandmaster!

Haitang's cultivation level was the weakest among the imperial secret agents, only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level.

But now he has broken through to the late stage of Grandmaster, and even taken a step closer to the Grandmaster realm.

This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Immortal Dragon Tiger Wine.

Of course, without Gu Qianbei's help, Haitang would probably have exploded and died.

Now, Haitang has turned misfortune into blessing, her martial arts skills have greatly improved, and she is not much worse than Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao.

Haitang clearly felt the changes in herself and found it incredible.

Is this wine really that potent?

Gu Qianbei withdrew his right hand, and Haitang felt a void behind her, and her heart also felt empty.

Haitang turned to look at Gu Qianbei behind her. He was still the same as when they first met, with an incomparably handsome face and a carefree air about him that seemed to have seen through the world.

However, back then, Gu Qianbei was just a rough diamond, but now Gu Qianbei is a precious gem.

Anyone who sees it will exclaim in admiration.

And so it was with her.

She had feelings for Gu Qianbei back then, but she had been suppressing her feelings for the sake of her mission as a secret agent.

Later, seeing that Gu Qianbei and Wanwan were in love, she felt pain in her heart, but she was also happy for Gu Qianbei.

He has found his place, which is good.

Later, she obtained a lot of information about Gu Qianbei in the martial arts world.

It seems that every now and then, a woman will appear beside Gu Qianbei.

At that moment, Haitang understood.

Gu Qianbei was also a romantic and chivalrous man.

Haitang could easily understand this.

After all, in the place where she lived, apart from the Iron-Blooded Marquis, how many men were truly devoted to her?

From that moment on, she felt that there seemed to be a glimmer of possibility between her and Gu Qianbei.

She finds it difficult to pursue a lifelong, monogamous relationship because she has to serve the court, while Gu Qianbei doesn't pursue it either because he has countless beautiful women.

In this way, she was free from burdens.

We are all people of the martial world, and we don't know what tomorrow will bring. So why worry about forever and not cherish the joy in the present?

Today, she is seriously injured and on the verge of death.

At that moment, she felt a pang of regret.

It's a pity I've never had a relationship of my own.

Even if it's only for a short time.

It's not that she doesn't have someone she likes; she just suppresses her feelings.

Thinking of this, a resolute look appeared in Haitang's eyes.

Gu Qianbei was finishing his practice and had no idea that so many thoughts were flashing through Haitang's mind.

When he opened his eyes, he found Haitang staring intently at him, her eyes filled with undisguised affection, while she ripped off her hair tie.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making the crabapple blossoms even more beautiful.

This stunned Gu Qianbei.

No, there's nothing strange added to this wine.

Why did you suddenly change your expression like that?

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Qianbei, you knew I was a girl all along, didn't you?"

The way they addressed each other had changed, and their words were filled with deep affection.

Gu Qianbei swallowed slightly.

"This... I did know all along. Master, your disguise wasn't very clever. So..."

"So, what do you think of my looks?"

"The manor lord's beauty is astonishing. Her eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, yet she also possesses a rare heroic spirit among women."

Of all the women I've seen, the mistress of the manor is truly unique.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

"Do you like me?"

"what?"

Is it that sudden?

Can't we say something else to push things forward?
