For Bai Zhantang, the pardon is his rebirth, representing his complete farewell to the past.

He also had the confidence to promise Tong Xiangyu his whole life.

But not yet.

However, his mother is already making arrangements for him.

A gust of wind blew by, and the door of Tongfu Inn suddenly opened.

Everyone was startled and huddled together in a ball.

Gu Qianbei and Bai Zhantang were treated as the core, with several hands holding them.

It seems that this gives them a sense of security.

But the person who came was Yan Xiaoliu, dressed in official robes, but his expression was different from usual.

"Hey! It's Xiao Liu! You scared me to death! I thought the thief had come."

Tong Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait, who am I?"

Guo Furong looked at Yan Xiaoliu warily and asked him for information about herself.

Because I heard that this thief can also disguise himself.

"Guo Furong".

"Yan Xiaoliu" said slowly and deliberately.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

However, Gu Qianbei frowned.

Yan Xiaoliu would never speak like that.

It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this "Yan Xiaoliu" is Bai Sanniang in disguise.

Bai San Niang, whose real name is Bai Cuiping, is a secret agent of the Six Doors and the biological mother of Bai Zhantang, the legendary thief. She is skilled in disguise, the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique, and the light-footed skill of "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms".

Bai San Niang is also a high-level combatant in the Six Doors.

Besides Guo Juxia, it's her.

"Little Six, what brings you here?"

Li Dazui asked curiously.

"I came to check on the situation."

"Yan Xiaoliu" answered indifferently as usual, his gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering a moment longer on Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang, before finally landing on Gu Qianbei.

"Everything is fine here. With Manager Gu here, I don't think that thief would dare to come."

Guo Furong patted Gu Qianbei on the shoulder, quite confidently.

She knew Gu Qianbei's abilities.

Even her own father praised Gu Qianbei highly.

That's a compliment that not everyone can receive.

"Gu Qianbei, the world's number one winemaker, certainly has a lot of style."

Over the years, he has left behind many legends in the martial arts world.

"Yan Xiaoliu" said with a smile.

"I dare not accept such praise; it is merely a humble title."

Xiao Guo, you said something wrong.

That thief wasn't afraid to come, and here he is, isn't he?

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the inn was startled and hid behind Gu Qianbei.

"Manager Gu, don't scare me! They've really come? Where are they?"

Lu Xiucai said in a flustered manner.

Bai Zhantang's gaze sharpened as he looked at "Yan Xiaoliu".

He also noticed something was wrong.

Before, Yan Xiaoliu would have already exploded, drawing his long sword and shouting his classic line: "Take good care of my seventh great-uncle!"

But at this moment, Yan Xiaoliu was too quiet.

"Isn't this right here?"

Gu Qianbei pointed to "Yan Xiaoliu," the meaning of which was obvious.

This "Yan Xiaoliu" is fake.

As for Gu Qianbei, everyone naturally had great faith in him.

"But didn't he just answer correctly what my name was?"

Guo Furong exclaimed in surprise.

"Your question is too simple. Anyone who wants to cause trouble can easily find the answer with a simple investigation."

A closer look reveals many flaws.

In the martial arts world, most disguise techniques are just that—disguises. They don't actually transform a person into someone else entirely.

Your face can be changed, but your body shape is hard to change.

Tall people find it difficult to pretend to be short, and similarly, short people find it difficult to pretend to be tall.

They need to use props, but once they do, their weaknesses will only increase.

The biggest problem with this woman is that she didn't hide her true colors well.

Although Yan Xiaoliu was not tall, he didn't have such small feet either.

Only women could have such small feet.

After listening to Gu Qianbei's analysis, everyone's eyes fell on "Yan Xiaoliu's" feet.

Sure enough, the foot was very small and definitely not a man's foot.

"Yes! I've seen Xiao Liu's feet, they're much bigger than this! And they smell awful!"

Lu Xiucai immediately spoke.

He had suffered a lot because of "Yan Xiaoliu's" smelly feet before, and the memory was quite clear.

"As expected of Gu Qianbei, he saw through my weakness at a glance."

With your skills, it's a shame you're not a constable.

"Yan Xiaoliu" sighed.

"Being a constable is no good job. The pay is low, the work is heavy, and the status is not high. Anyone with real skills would not want to be a constable."

Gu Qianbei shook her head slightly, indicating that she really had no interest in this profession.

When dealing with ordinary people, the constables have a slight advantage, but when facing other people, they are not respected.

The so-called Four Great Constables are a completely different profession and cannot be generalized.

That's true, but it's a bit harsh.

Yan Xiaoliu nodded in agreement.

"Manager Gu, why are you wasting your breath talking to her! Grab her right now!"

This is the bastard who stole over a dozen official seals and then framed Old Bai!

Guo Furong immediately said.

"It seems you all knew his identity as the Thief Saint after all."

"Since you know this, why are you still protecting him? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"Yan Xiaoliu" said in a cold voice.

"Hey! Even at a time like this, you're still trying to sow discord? I'm ready to punch you!"

As Guo Furong was about to roll up her sleeves and unleash her "Surging Wave Palm" attack, Gu Qianbei stopped her.

"Xiao Guo, don't bother with your mediocre skills."

She is not the enemy.

"Huh? Not the enemy? Even after all this, they're still not the enemy?"

Guo Furong was puzzled.

Yan Xiaoliu frowned slightly and looked at Gu Qianbei with a puzzled expression.

Bai Zhantang, who was standing to the side, had already figured something out and said in an annoyed tone, "Mother, is that you?"

"mother?"

Everyone in the inn looked at Bai Zhantang in shock.

Seeing this, "Yan Xiaoliu" stopped pretending and directly tore off his human skin mask.

How did you recognize me?

Bai San Niang asked with a smile.

"A mother and child are of one heart."

Bai Zhantang said with a smile.

"Always trying to be cheeky. Mother and son are truly of one mind; how come you didn't recognize me at first?"

Bai San Niang laughed and scolded.

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, there's been a delay. Oh my god! I've missed you so much!"

Bai Zhantang immediately stepped forward and hugged Bai Sanniang tightly.

He really missed his mother after not seeing her for several years.

When Gu Qianbei told him that his mother was a hook, he wanted to believe it but dared not.

Now that he saw Bai San Niang standing before him unharmed, he knew that it was all true.

He really did have a hook mother.

Upon seeing this, everyone instantly understood.

This middle-aged woman really is an old hag.

"Auntie, hello, I am Xiangyu, the manager of this inn."

Nice to meet you."

Tong Xiangyu immediately stepped forward and greeted Bai Sanniang with a smile, her words and expressions full of flattery.
