All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 46: Surprised? Unexpected?

Shortly after Yan Shuangfei chased after them, two figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Who?"

One of the disciples was greatly surprised and shouted angrily.

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of sword light, the unfortunate disciple immediately collapsed into a pool of blood.

The courtyard immediately descended into chaos.

Those with copper coins on their heads took the opportunity to escape one by one.

They didn't want to get involved.

It was Gu Yu and A Fei who barged into the courtyard!

For a fleeting moment, Gu Yu felt as if he had traveled back in time, grinding monsters and leveling up in a game, his mind constantly flooded with experience points—

[Defeat members of the Money Gang to gain 50 Fate Points]

[Defeat members of the Money Gang to gain 50 Fate Points]

[Defeat the leader of the Money Gang and gain 150 Destiny Points]

[Defeat members of the Money Gang to gain 80 Fate Points]

……

The number of Fate Points obtained is relatively fixed, mainly 50 and 80, with 150 points appearing only twice, since there aren't many at the Incense Master level.

By the time Yan Shuangfei returned looking furious, the battle in the courtyard was nearing its end.

Seeing the dozens of his men's corpses lying haphazardly in the courtyard, Yan Shuangfei was so enraged that his blood surged and he coughed up blood.

He knew he was probably finished!

Shangguan Jin Hong was always fair in rewarding and punishing, and entrusted him with an important task, putting him in charge of the Dingzhou branch.

Now that things have escalated to this point, how could Shangguan Jin Hong let him off easily?

"The amorous swordsman, the flying swordsman, it's you two!"

Gu Yu laughed and said, "That's right, it's us. Surprised? Unexpected?"

Yan Shuangfei let out a long breath and said coldly, "It is indeed surprising. I didn't expect you to dare to come to us on your own initiative, but..."

He took another long breath as he said this.

I thought he had some more to say.

Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly raised his hand and tossed it—

"Go to hell!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Seven or eight darts flew out in a fan shape, simultaneously locking onto Gu Yu and A Fei.

Yan Shuangfei knew that this was his only chance to redeem himself. If he could kill Gu Yu and the other man, Shangguan Jin Hong might let him go.

To his surprise, all of his throwing spears missed their mark.

Before he could unleash a second wave of attacks, a sword light streaked across the room.

Yan Shuangfei could see it very clearly; he could even see that it wasn't a sword at all, but just a ridiculous piece of iron.

However, he did not dodge it.

A not-so-sharp piece of iron pierced his throat, and blood gushed out. The two throwing spears that Yan Shuangfei hadn't had time to throw fell to the ground.

"Wow...such a fast sword..."

Yan Shuangfei mumbled something indistinctly before plunging into darkness, as if into an abyss.

[Defeat "Flying Spear" Yan Shuangfei, the leader of the Dingzhou branch of the Money Gang, ending his fate and gaining 400 Fate Points]

This time it was A Fei who made the move, but it didn't affect Gu Yu's acquisition of Destiny Points.

This harvest was unprecedented, yielding over three thousand Fate Points.

Shortly after, Gu Yu and A Fei left the Shen family compound, leaving behind a plume of smoke.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, raging fires broke out in both the front and back yards, with flames shooting into the sky!

The headquarters of the Money Gang.

"Bang!"

The usually composed Shangguan Jin Hong suddenly lost his composure and slammed his hand on the table.

Fortunately, his table was made of metal, thick and heavy. If it were a wooden table, it would probably have shattered into pieces by that blow.

"Damn it, how dare they destroy my Money Gang's branch!"

Standing below, Steward Lü mustered his courage and said, "Master, in my humble opinion, those two lads cannot be allowed to live, otherwise they will cause endless trouble."

"I'm going to kill them!"

A figure seemed to emerge from the darkness, expressionless, speaking without any emotional fluctuation.

He was Jing Wuming, the number one assassin under Shangguan Jin Hong.

Shangguan Jin Hong shook his head: "It's not time for you to make a move yet."

Upon hearing this, Jing Wuming remained silent and retreated to the corner of the room, seemingly disappearing back into the darkness.

That night, Gu Yu was meditating and adjusting his breathing in his guest room when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?"

Gu Yu asked a question.

After all, he has now provoked quite a few rivals, so he cannot let his guard down lest he be ambushed.

"It's me!"

"daughter in law?"

Gu Yu looked delighted and quickly stepped forward to open the door.

Sure enough, standing outside the door was Sun Xiaohong.

"Wife, how did you find me?"

Sun Xiaohong smiled and said, "You're a big shot in the martial arts world now. Finding you is easy enough, isn't it?"

Even you're making fun of me.

Gu Yu pulled Sun Xiaohong into the guest room, closed the door, hugged her slender waist tightly, and lowered his head to capture her warm, red lips.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally parted ways.

Sun Xiaohong's face was flushed, and her eyes were watery like a pool of spring water, making her look even more charming.

"By the way, where's the old man?"

Gu Yu seemed a little guilty, fearing that the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets might suddenly appear in the room.

How embarrassing would that be?

"Grandpa couldn't come because he had something to do."

"So you sneaked out to play by yourself?"

Sun Xiaohong shook her head and said with a serious expression, "I've come to ask you for a favor."

"Beg me?" Gu Yu was taken aback, then smiled. "With our relationship, do I need to use the word 'beg'?"

"Ugh!"

Sun Xiaohong sighed.

He added, "Actually, I didn't want you to do this, but... but I really couldn't refuse."

Gu Yu's brow furrowed: "Oh? What is it?"

"Here's what happened. The former chief constable of the Six Doors found my grandfather and asked him to do something for me."

"The Six Doors? The old man still has dealings with the Six Doors?"

"Not exactly. The former chief constable of the Six Doors was surnamed Fang. He once did my grandfather a great favor, so my grandfather has to repay that favor."

Gu Yu asked in confusion, "Then how did this get dragged into me again?"

Sun Xiaohong blushed and stammered, "Because Chief Constable Fang knows... knows... about our relationship. Actually, this matter was entrusted to you."

"Well?"

After Sun Xiaohong's explanation, Gu Yu finally understood the reason.

This is a big deal!

It not only involves the foundation of the imperial court, but also the evil cult outside the Great Wall.

Recently, the imperial court received a secret report that the Liang King, a regional military governor in the Gansu and Liangzhou area, was secretly recruiting soldiers and gathering a large number of martial arts masters. He was also colluding with the Demonic Sect and seemed to have the intention to rebel.

For many years, the Demonic Sect has been eyeing the Central Plains with covetous intent, and its treacherous intentions have never died, making it a major threat to the imperial court.

However, the Demonic Sect has always been mysterious and located far beyond the Great Wall, beyond the reach of the imperial court.

"I wonder where Chief Constable Fang heard about your connection with Hua Baifeng. Hua Baifeng was formerly the eldest princess of the Demonic Sect, so she's naturally familiar with it, therefore..."

"So you want me to go find Hua Baifeng?"

"Um!"

Sun Xiaohong nodded.

Gu Yu replied, "Alright, going to see her is no problem. However, I can't guarantee whether she will tell me the secrets of the Demonic Sect. After all, her father was once the leader of the Demonic Sect."

"I know, Grandpa, you just couldn't refuse. I lost my parents when I was little, and you raised me single-handedly. Please help me out, okay?"

Gu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you're my wife. If I don't help you, who will?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaohong was overjoyed and took the initiative to tiptoe and kiss Gu Yu.

Gu Yu's heart fluttered, and he whispered, "Wife, it's so late, how about..."

"what?"

Sun Xiaohong was startled.

"Don't get the wrong idea. You sleep in bed, and I'll just meditate on the side."

after awhile.

Gu Yu couldn't help but say, "Wife, how about I tell you a story?"

"OK!"

So Gu Yu told the story: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was caught in a sudden downpour on his way to take the imperial examination. He ran to a house by the roadside to ask for lodging. Coincidentally, the only person in that house was a young widow."

"It was raining heavily and getting dark. The widow couldn't bear to send the scholar away, so she said, 'There's only one bed in the house. Let's each sleep on one side. If you dare to bully me, you're a beast.'"

"That night, the scholar was in great agony, for there was a beautiful widow sleeping next to him, and he couldn't touch her."

"They finally made it to dawn, and the rain stopped. The two got out of bed together. Unexpectedly, the widow raised her hand and slapped the scholar across the face."

The scholar felt wronged and said, "I didn't touch you, so why did you hit me?" The widow replied, "If you had touched me, you would be a beast. But now, you are even less than a beast..."

Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then finally understood, and couldn't help but throw herself into Gu Yu's arms, both shy and laughing.

"You scoundrel, telling dirty jokes to people, aren't you ashamed?"
