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

Gu Qianbei coughed a few times to expel the thick smoke from the fire.

Looking at the crabapple in her arms, she was either too tired or thought she was dead, and had already fallen asleep.

After all that trouble, she was indeed exhausted.

"It felt quite different the first time I led a group to use the 'Wine Tracking Within Reach' technique."

It's a pity that the Beijing branch will probably be shut down for the time being.

However, if we can keep the other branches, it won't affect anything.

Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then placed Haitang on the bed and stretched.

"Phew... This whole night has been exhausting."

After drinking a few more sips of wine to heal his wounds, Gu Qianbei's condition had recovered to about 70-80%.

"I didn't expect Zhu Wushi to be so strong. Judging from his appearance, he should be very close to the realm of a terrestrial immortal."

Even if I could kill him now, it would be a lose-lose situation for both of us.

Let's settle the score with him later.

Thinking this, Gu Qianbei looked at the unconscious Haitang.

"In any case, the relationship between Haitang and Zhu Wushi is now completely over."

That way, there will be no obstacle for me to kill Zhu Wushi in the future.

However, Haitang has lost all her internal energy, and it will take some time for her to cultivate it back.

But with my fine wine to enhance it, this shouldn't take too long.

If Haitang were willing to cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art, the recovery speed would be even faster.

Gu Qianbei has already begun planning the future path for Haitang.

But the most important thing right now is to wake up Haitang.

Gu Qianbei used the Golden Light Mantra to condense a wine cup, and then took out the Cangguang Gourd to mix several kinds of wine together, creating the most suitable wine to drink on the beach at this time.

This one glass of wine was enough to restore Haitang's spirits.

However, Haitang's mouth was tightly closed, and for a moment, nothing could be poured in.

Seeing this, Gu Qianbei had no choice but to hold the wine in his own mouth and then feed it to Haitang mouth-to-mouth.

As the wine entered her mouth, Haitang's eyelids trembled slightly, her throat moved involuntarily, and she swallowed it.

Soon, Haitang finished the entire cup of wine.

Not long after, Haitang opened her eyes.

"Is this the underworld?"

Haitang stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and murmured to herself.

"Don't worry, this isn't the underworld yet."

The familiar voice rang out, instantly waking Haitang.

She saw Gu Qianbei smiling beside her and was overjoyed, so she hugged him tightly.

"Great! Thousand cups! We're still together."

Sensing the beauty's joy and relief, Gu Qianbei gently stroked her back and smiled, "Don't worry, it's very safe here."

We are all still alive.

Upon hearing this, Haitang was taken aback, and then felt Gu Qianbei's body temperature, and felt the slight pain in her own body.

All of this shows that they are still alive.

"We're not dead? Then where are we? Weren't we just engulfed in flames?"

Haitang didn't understand.

She could still recall the intense heat of the fire, but now there was nothing there.

"This is Qianchou Si in Qixia Town. Begonia, there's a secret I've never told you."

Actually, I have a connection to the immortals, which allows me to teleport thousands of miles away instantly.

I used this ability just now to save my life.

That's why we were able to arrive in Qixia Town, thousands of miles away, in an instant.

However, at this point, the Marquis probably thought we had perished in the fire.

But with no body found, he'll definitely still have doubts.

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

"A predestined connection with immortals?"

Haitang was stunned.

This incredible thing actually appeared in her world.

This is outrageous.

But considering that such an outrageous thing happened to Gu Qianbei, it doesn't seem so outrageous anymore.

After all, Gu Qianbei has all sorts of strange things about her.

"So you planned to escape here from the very beginning?"

"right."

"Great! We're all alive!"

Haitang snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with joy, and she hugged Gu Qianbei even tighter.

"Haitang, this time I acted too late, which caused you to lose all your internal energy."

But don't worry, I have a way to restore your internal energy.

Gu Qianbei said softly.

Haitang shook her head and said, "This matter is not your fault at all."

I never expected that my godfather... no, I should say the Divine Marquis, would be so heartless.

He acted his whole life, and I believed him for half my life.

It's not so bad to see his true colors at this time.

Although that's what Haitang said, Gu Qianbei could sense the disappointment in her eyes.

After all, for Haitang, this meant losing her father once again.

"As for internal energy, it will eventually return through gradual cultivation."

Haitang said with a smile.

"It's wonderful that you think that way. Your body is still very weak, so there's no rush to cultivate your internal energy."

Let's rest for a few days first.

This Qixia Town isn't exactly safe. In a couple of days, we'll leave Daming and head to Daliang.

Perfect timing, I also have things to do there.

Gu Qianbei said softly.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Haitang smiled and hugged Gu Qianbei again, as if she were grasping at the last straw in Gu Qianbei's life.

Looking at the crabapple in her arms, a trace of heartache appeared in Gu Qianbei's eyes.

But there was no point in saying anything more at this point. He could only hold Haitang quietly, hoping that this would give her some strength so that she could get through this dark period.

Meanwhile, in the capital city.

The raging fire at Qianchousi was extinguished after dawn.

But there was nothing inside.

There were no bodies, nothing at all.

This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone.

"Nothing at all? How is that possible? I clearly saw them being engulfed by the sea of ​​fire."

Zhu Wushi looked utterly incredulous, as did the emperor.

He didn't think Zhu Wushi would lie about something like this, because there was no need for him to.

"Investigate! There must be a secret passage! They escaped through it!"

Zhu Wushi's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt as if he had been tricked by Gu Qianbei.

And all the doubts were explained at this moment.

No wonder Gu Qianbei took Haitang to Qianchousi Si, no wonder they set it on fire.

It was all an illusion!

They escaped using the inferno!

However, upon inspection, everyone discovered that there was no secret passage at all in Qianchousi Si.

This sent a chill down Zhu Wushi's spine.

How exactly did they escape?

"Lord Divine Marquis, there's no body and no secret passage. How do you explain that?"

Cao Zhengchun mocked.

"This king..."

Zhu Wushi was at a loss for words.

"Alright, we've been up all night, let's leave it at that for now."

Lord Shenhou, Eunuch Cao, and Lord Guo, the three of you should investigate this matter together and find out where Gu Qianbei and Haitang went.

I await your news.

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left.

No one noticed the faint smile that appeared on his lips.

"Gu Qianbei is indeed a remarkable person."
