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

"Hey! My temper's flaring up! This guy's got a real problem! How can anyone be so awful?!"

Bai Zhantang immediately became angry.

He had finally managed to retire from the world and enjoy a few days of peace.

Now they're in the spotlight again.

If the other party can't provide a reasonable explanation, he'll definitely make them pay!

"Since the other party is stealing the official seal nearby, it's obvious they're after you."

The next official seal of Qixia Town will be the stage for your duel with her.

Are you ready?

Gu Qianbei seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, which made Bai Zhantang roll his eyes.

"Things have come to this, and you're still just watching? Isn't it appropriate not to lend a hand to your brother?"

"I'll definitely help. But I don't think I'll need to help this time."

"You have so much confidence in my strength? I have made a lot of progress in the past two years and have broken through to the Grandmaster level, but I am still far from being able to face a true master."

I don't even have much confidence in myself.

Bai Zhantang gave an awkward smile.

Although he has resumed cultivation these past two days, he hasn't fought in a long time, so what he's gained is only his cultivation level, not his combat experience, which makes him feel somewhat weak.

Furthermore, he himself is not a particularly aggressive or violent person.

"It's not that I'm confident in your abilities, it's that I'm confident in your connections."

If I'm not mistaken, the one who made this move is your Hook Mother.

"Huh? My mother? No way? Is she going to trick her son again?"

"Wait, isn't she a 'hook'? Why would she steal the official seal?"

Bai Zhantang didn't understand.

"Simple, to create the illusion of the Thief Saint in Qixia Town."

"Why is she creating this? Is she trying to arrest me?"

Bai Zhantang was stunned.

"I suspect she wants to do something using your name. As for what exactly, you can ask her yourself when you meet her."

That's enough. If I say any more, Gu Qianbei won't be able to explain the source of the information.

Bai Zhantang leaned closer and asked, "Xiao Gu, are you sure this is my mother? And is my mother really Gouzi?"

"I'm about 70-80% sure. Don't worry, if it weren't for your mother, I'd cover for you."

With Gu Qianbei's promise, Bai Zhantang immediately felt relieved.

He came here today just to ask for this promise.

"That's settled, I'm relieved to hear that."

Bai Zhantang smiled with satisfaction.

"You, you're such a coward."

Gu Qianbei shook his head helplessly.

With Bai Zhantang's strength, he would definitely be one of the best among the younger generation in the entire martial arts world.

But their mindset is completely different.

There's no way around it; being naturally timid inevitably leads to losses in battle.

Unless there is some compelling reason to fight, he can't even unleash 70% of his abilities.

Especially when you encounter someone in uniform, you can't use any of your skills.

"We're just too scared of being arrested."

Bai Zhantang smiled awkwardly.

As timid as I am, it's still quite embarrassing to be called out on it.

"Alright, go back and comfort the whole family at the inn."

They're not much braver than you.

"Okay."

Bai Zhantang returned to the inn, while Gu Qianbei seemed lost in thought.

"If Bai San Niang is here, then Gongsun Wulong should be nearby as well."

In the past, Gu Qianbei might have been somewhat wary of Gongsun Wulong.

But now, he really doesn't take Gongsun Wulong seriously.

Even the immoral Taoist priest died at his hands, let alone Gongsun Wulong.

"The Turtle Shell Divine Skill does have some merit, but it's only specifically designed to defend against acupoint strikes, so it's not very useful to me."

Once I activate my Golden Light Mantra, no amount of finger pressure can strike my acupoints.

Thinking of this, Gu Qianbei lost interest and immediately sat down in the rocking chair, swaying gently and enjoying the leisurely time.

A gust of wind blew, and leaves fell from the branches, swaying in mid-air before landing on Gu Qianbei's forehead.

Gu Qianbei moved her lips slightly, blew out a breath, and blew it to the ground.

Soon, the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

The autumn air was bleak, carrying a touch of desolation.

night.

Thousand Sorrows Inn had quieted down, but Tongfu Inn was still quite lively.

Zhu Wushuang and Gu Qianbei were pulled over by Bai Zhantang, and it was decided that everyone would sleep on the floor in the lobby tonight.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile.

In my past life, I found this scene very heartwarming when I watched TV.

The family in the inn huddled together, facing the impending danger together, sharing life and death, and weathering the storm together.

How fortunate I am to have such a family in my life.

"This feels really good."

Gu Qianbei thought to himself.

"Manager Gu! Come on! You sleep in the middle!"

Guo Furong waved to Gu Qianbei, then patted the bed next to her, which was the dividing line between boys and girls.

On the left is Guo Furong, and on the right is Bai Zhantang.

It's a good location.

Gu Qianbei did not refuse and immediately sat down between the two.

"Brother Bai, I'm so bored. Can you tell us a story?"

Mo Xiaobei, unable to stay idle, made a request to Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang had always doted on the shopkeeper's sister-in-law, so he didn't refuse and began to tell her his little stories for the night.

It must be said that Bai Zhantang is quite talented in storytelling.

He can even do ventriloquism.

"Sure, Lao Bai, with this skill, you could make a lot of money as a storyteller."

"How about we set up a storytelling stall at the inn to earn some extra money and attract more customers?"

After hearing Bai Zhantang's story, Gu Qianbei clapped and cheered, and even felt a little tempted to give him a reward.

"Hey! That's a good idea. Zhantang, you should consider it."

Hearing that it could make money, Tong Xiangyu became interested.

Bai Zhantang replied, "No, no, no, I'm already exhausted from running around as a waiter every day. I don't have the energy to tell stories."

"I'll give you more money!"

Tong Xiangyu had a very magnanimous demeanor.

Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up.

"How much?"

"One article for each event!"

After Tong Xiangyu finished speaking, she laughed shyly.

Bai Zhantang even complained, "You're so stingy! Are you treating me like a slacker?"

"Oh dear, having so much money is useless."

"Why is it useless? I still need to save money to get married."

Bai Zhantang argued his case based on reason.

"Getting a wife doesn't cost money, so I don't need to..."

After Tong Xiangyu finished speaking, she looked at Bai Zhantang with deep affection.

Bai Zhantang quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Tong Xiangyu's gaze.

Goodness, how did this suddenly turn into a forced marriage scene?

Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.

Tong Zhanggui is eager to get married, but Bai Zhantang dares not marry her. If there is no mutual support between the two, it may be quite difficult for them to get together.

Ultimately, it was Bai Zhantang's inferiority complex that made him feel unworthy of Tong Xiangyu, the daughter of the Longmen Escort Agency.

But little did Bai Zhantang know that in Tong Xiangyu's eyes, he was a renowned master thief, while she was a widow.

Both felt they were not good enough for each other, but the difference was that Tong Xiangyu was brave enough in love, while Bai Zhantang kept running away.

Therefore, for Bai Zhantang, the pardon is truly a necessity.
