Life in Qixia Town was generally peaceful.

But even a minor incident can lead to utter disaster.

Take, for example, the recent attack by Gongsun Wulong.

That was the most dangerous life-or-death crisis ever faced by Tongfu Inn.

If it weren't for a series of coincidences, everyone at Tongfu Inn would have died.

Of course, that was the original storyline.

In this storyline, Gu Qianbei has grown into a true powerhouse, easily suppressing the petty Gongsun Wulong.

After seeing Bai Zhantang off, Gu Qianbei sat back down in the rocking chair.

comfortable.

"Gu boy, you're really living a lazy life."

I really don't know how you cultivated to such a level.

Gu Santong came out of the room and saw Gu Qianbei still in the rocking chair, and couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, he was extremely dedicated to practicing martial arts.

"Eat well, sleep well, rest well, practice well, and live well. This is my way of life in this world."

Senior, at our level, arduous cultivation has long lost its meaning, hasn't it?

"That's true. But it's been almost half a day, haven't you rested for too long?"

Could it be that you're already cultivating?

What kind of martial art can be practiced while sitting down?

Gu Santong asked out of curiosity.

"It's about understanding the universe. The realm of heaven and man is no longer about accumulating internal strength in ordinary ways, but about understanding the nature of heaven and earth."

The so-called "unity of heaven and man" refers to the state of being in harmony with nature; the deeper this feeling, the faster one's cultivation.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

Reaching the realm of Heaven and Man truly requires comprehending the universe and nature. Even though he used fine wine to accelerate his breakthrough, his understanding of the universe still did not suffer.

Every moment of enlightenment he gained from being drunk was a moment of understanding the universe.

He drinks this wine every day without fail.

This wine is most effective for cultivation.

Gu Santong had not yet broken through to the Celestial Realm, so he naturally did not know whether what Gu Qianbei said was true or false.

But he thought that made a lot of sense.

"By the way, do you know what level of cultivation Old Pig is at now?"

The last time I saw him was a year ago, and even then, I could no longer see through his cultivation level.

Gu Santong asked out of curiosity.

He was very curious about Zhu Wushi's cultivation level.

After all, he was the opponent he chose, but now it seems that he has been left behind by this opponent.

Twenty years of imprisonment have made his cultivation efficiency extremely low, even if he wanted to.

If he hadn't absorbed the internal energy of the expert that Zhu Wushi had sent to the Heavenly Prison, he probably wouldn't even have his current cultivation level.

"I reckon he's no worse than me."

Gu Qianbei recalled the scene when she met Zhu Wushi before, and the other party's cultivation was indeed unfathomable.

Even now, he wouldn't dare say he could completely dominate his opponent.

After all, this is a world of martial arts, where the number of experts and the variety of techniques far exceed those of a single worldview.

Given Zhu Wushi's power, the number of experts he devours will only increase.

If he finds an even stronger cultivation technique, his strength will naturally improve steadily.

Therefore, in Gu Qianbei's view, Zhu Wushi's strength is beyond doubt.

Compared to the original Zhu Wushi, this Zhu Wushi will only be stronger.

"Tsk... I never expected that the down-on-his-luck prince of yesteryear would actually become such a big shot."

"We can't afford to mess with them."

Gu Santong sighed upon hearing Gu Qianbei's words.

Gu Qianbei smiled knowingly and said, "How does it feel to have played around your whole life, only to end up getting yourself into trouble?"

Gu Santong smiled awkwardly.

"Don't reopen old wounds, kid. Who would have thought that old pig would be so uncompromising, even stealing his brother's woman."

"That's just how people in the royal family are. They always think that whatever they fancy belongs to them."

This vast land was, in their eyes, nothing more than their backyard.

Gu Qianbei's face showed a mocking expression.

The world is always like this, and no one can change it.

The so-called universal harmony is nothing but a pipe dream.

The evil and greed in people's hearts can never be stopped or reformed.

You could even say that these are things that you truly learn without a teacher.

If human nature is truly inherently good, then wouldn't education become a joke?

Does education corrupt good people beyond recognition, turning them into hungry wolves tearing each other apart?

No, education is the true demon-suppressing tower, allowing people to suppress the evil within their hearts beneath their skin.

But even the occasional glimpse of malice can send chills down one's spine.

The most successfully educated people become food for hungry wolves, and are wantonly manipulated.

Only those who retain some of their animalistic instincts can strive to succeed in this world.

Of course, a person who completely retains their wild nature will only become a beast.

Gu Qianbei shook her head, banishing these thoughts from her mind.

Why think so much?

Now he's the one who doesn't eat beef.

The first thing a person can do to succeed is to forget their roots!

"It seems you harbor a lot of resentment towards that old pig."

Gu Santong laughed.

"Actually, I quite admire the abilities of the Iron-Blooded Marquis."

Unfortunately, I hate people who betray their friends.

Why do people who value relationships and loyalty often lose?

Because they are always deceived by people they trust.

Using the bond between two people to scheme against each other is truly disgusting.

If we are to be enemies, then let's have a fair and square contest.

To take someone's sincerity and then use it as a weapon to stab them in the heart is despicable.

Gu Qianbei said slowly.

This is also the main reason why he was unwilling to help Iron-Blooded Marquis.

Who can be trusted by someone who can betray their friends at any time?

Just like in the original story, even if they were imperial spies trained by Zhu Wushi, he could kill them at any time if they opposed him.

Such a person may succeed, but is definitely not worth following.

As for Zhu Wushi's love for Su Xin, which has always been praised, Gu Qianbei believes it was just his possessiveness at work.

Loving someone doesn't mean making them live according to your own wishes, but rather giving them what they want.

Zhu Wushi completely destroyed everything Su Xin wanted.

Such love is suffocating.

The ideal woman of one's youth has a fatal attraction for men.

That was no longer a person, but a symbol.

It symbolizes a man's success in the conventional sense.

When a man gains power, the woman he has always longed for becomes his wife—a moment most men dream of.

Even Zhu Wushi was not immune to this.

Therefore, his love was tinged with deception, domineering, and reckless madness.

"Speaking of this, Senior Gu, I think you should consider how to deal with Iron-Blooded Marquis."

He estimated that Su Xin would soon be discovered to have disappeared in the Tianshan Mountains.

It's only a matter of time before he finds out where you are.

Gu Qianbei looked at Gu Santong and said slowly.

Given Zhu Wushi's current power, if he were to go mad, the entire Ming Dynasty would be shaken.
