Chapter 60

"Um?" Gu Santong and Yan Shisan, the two most skilled martial artists, also had a glint in their eyes as they stared intently at Ping Yizhi.

"Ping Lord, are you really sure about what you said?" Zhang Chengyun couldn't help but ask, somewhat excitedly.

The feeling of not having Dongfang Bubai around was really not good. Without a leader, everyone felt oppressed and lacked confidence in everything they did. Now, hearing that Dongfang Bubai would soon appear, he naturally felt excited.

It wasn't just him; the others also had similar feelings to varying degrees. Of course, Gu Santong was thinking about his wife and son. He had asked others these past few days, but none of them knew the situation of Suxin and his son. Only Dongfang Bubai knew, which made him very eager to find him.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Faced with so many intense gazes, Ping Yizhi couldn't take it and coughed a few times before hurriedly saying, "I'm just guessing. The Sect Leader has the special healing pills that my brother and I made. There are only three such pills in the entire sect.

With these three pills, even if the Sect Leader's injuries are severe, they should be enough to heal about half of them. It won't be long before the Sect Leader will come to us on his own.

And the people who saved us are undoubtedly very powerful. They should be able to get news of any movement from the Sect Leader first, which is much better than us going out to look for him. So I think we should just wait here."

Everyone fell silent, pondering the pros and cons.

Soon, Ren Woxing looked at Ping Yizhi with a serious expression. "Ping Lord, how long will it take?"

"Twenty days. Within twenty days, the Sect Leader's injuries will definitely be mostly healed, unless...!" Ping Yizhi thought for a moment, first speaking confidently, then hesitating.

Everyone remained silent, understanding the "unless" part, which meant something unexpected had happened to Dongfang Bubai, such as losing his martial arts skills or being captured by the government.

"Then we'll continue waiting here! Twenty days is not long." Yan Shisan spoke coldly, a terrifying aura growing stronger around him, sometimes even making Gu Santong feel uneasy.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

...

...

The others all voiced their agreement.

Thus, the members of the Sun Moon Cult and Gu Santong decided to continue waiting here.

In the main hall of the Dragon Guard Manor.

Zhu Wushuang, Shangguan Jinhuang, Zhan Yu, and Liu Xi all stood here with heavy expressions, only Xu Ruowu was absent for some reason.

"Is the Ghost King still not coming?" Shangguan Jinhuang looked at Zhu Wushuang with a serious expression.

Xu Ruowu had not only stopped cooperating with the search these past few days but also avoided seeing them, which made them all somewhat unhappy.

Although Zhu Wushuang's face was calm, he was also unhappy inside, but he couldn't show it in the court. Zhan Yu and Liu Xi remained expressionless, their martial arts skills being a bit lower, so it was better not to get involved in such matters.

"If the Valiant King doesn't come, let's discuss it!" Zhu Wushuang looked at the other three with a serious expression and said solemnly.

"Dongfang Bubai's whereabouts have not been found, which is understandable, but a force dared to rescue Gu Santong, Yan Shisan, and others right under our noses. This force is extremely powerful in Jinling City, yet we have no idea what it is.

The Emperor already knows about this and is furious, ordering us to find out the true identity of this force."

Zhu Wushuang frowned, and the other three also frowned. In Jinling City, the Ming Dynasty's court was the strongest force, followed by the Money Gang, which had deep cooperation with the Ming court, which is why the Money Gang's headquarters was in Jinling City.

As for other forces, although some were hidden, they were not unexpected by the Ming court.

However, the force that rescued Yan Shisan and others was completely unknown to the Ming court. How could this not make Zhu Yuanzhang angry? How could this not make Zhu Wushuang and the others frown?

"This force is deeply rooted in Jinling City. Even with the full efforts of the Money Gang, we couldn't find any clues. If it weren't for their rescue of Gu Santong, Yan Shisan, and others, we wouldn't have discovered this force's existence." Shangguan Jinhuang said somewhat uncomfortably, still feeling a lingering fear of this force.

"Yes, the Emperor has issued an edict, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang will assist us in investigating this matter. The Jinyiwei will be led by Zhan Yu, and Liu Gonggong and Wei Gonggong will be in charge of the Dongchang." Zhu Wushuang looked at Zhan Yu and Liu Xi, a smile on his face.

Zhan Yu and Liu Xi nodded slightly, clearly already aware of this news.

"What about Dongfang Bubai?" Shangguan Jinhuang frowned, placing more importance on Dongfang Bubai than the force.

"Dongfang Bubai will be hard to find, but we can't give up. Let's investigate together!" Zhu Wushuang thought for a moment and said.

The other three all nodded solemnly, knowing that this was the only way.

...

...

On a dark and moonless night, Dongfang Bubai's sword was so brilliant that just one draw made the entire prison area as bright as daylight, blinding everyone.

All that could be vaguely felt was a sword light slashing towards Iron Gall Bladder, the Valiant King, and Shangguan Jinhuang, but these three were even more formidable...

"Good...!"

"Clap, clap, clap!!!"

...

...

In Jinling City, in a tavern, a storyteller was eloquently narrating the story of Dongfang Bubai and others breaking into the prison. Of course, this was a processed version to avoid offending the people involved.

At a secluded table in the tavern, a woman in a light blue and white dress sat quietly. She wore a white veil, revealing only her clear, captivating, yet cold eyes and her fair, smooth forehead.

The white veil, though covering her face, made her look even more alluring. Her graceful and slender figure and her straight, flowing hair made her seem like a fairy in a mist.

However, no one in the tavern dared to look at her for long, as she was very cold and unapproachable. A Sixth Rank expert had just been crippled for saying something to her, which made everyone fear her.

The woman didn't care about others' thoughts. Although she sat quietly, her heart was not calm.

Her eyes gazed in a certain direction, filled with worry, sadness, and anger, though these emotions were very faint, they were real.

After a long time, she slowly got up and left the tavern, heading in a specific direction, which was the direction of Li Garden.

Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

Lin Shiyin had been sleeping in Dongfang Bubai's arms for an hour. Dongfang Bubai's posture hadn't changed, but his eyes were closed as he slowly practiced his healing technique.

"Ah!" Lin Shiyin slowly opened her blurry, swollen eyes, taking in her surroundings.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Lin Shiyin let out a soft cry, her body moving uncontrollably.

Dongfang Bubai immediately stopped his practice. For him, as long as he wasn't using full power, such a disturbance was nothing, and he could stop at any time.

With a gentle push, he stopped Lin Shiyin's movements, looking down at her. He saw that her cheeks were already flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Dongfang Bubai.

"Ha ha ha!" Dongfang Bubai laughed loudly, then leaned down and kissed her delicate cheek.

Lin Shiyin became even more embarrassed, her neck turning red, and her small hands tightly clenched.

After a long time, Lin Shiyin regained her composure, her eyes still numb and sad, but when she looked at Dongfang Bubai, a hint of shyness would occasionally show.

During that hour, she had felt a sense of security and reliance for the first time in a long time. Although she still disliked Dongfang Bubai and even hated him, she couldn't deny that she liked that feeling. After all, she was just a woman who preferred a peaceful life.

Since she couldn't resist, she would try to accept him, though this acceptance might take forever.

The two sat together for a while longer. Lin Shiyin didn't want to, but she couldn't resist Dongfang Bubai, so she passively enjoyed the sense of security and reliance.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai frowned and looked outside the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

After his injuries had healed somewhat, he was always aware of his surroundings. He sensed that two people were slowly approaching the Cold Fragrance Pavilion, one at the late stage of the Innate realm and the other at the middle stage.

And he already knew who these two people were.

"Hmph, they came just in time, I'll deal with them together." Dongfang Bubai thought, a cold smile on his face.

At the same time, in the corridor of the back garden, two men were slowly walking towards the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

One was in his twenties, with a dignified appearance and elegant attire, looking very righteous.

The other was younger, wearing a light blue robe, exuding a refined and elegant aura.

He was tall and handsome, but looked somewhat weary.

His eyes were unusual, a deep green, gentle and lively, but now they were filled with sorrow, helplessness, heartache, and determination.

These two were Long Xiaoyun and his sworn brother, the famous Li Xunhuan.

The two walked in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Ah!" As they approached the Cold Fragrance Pavilion, Long Xiaoyun sighed, looking at Li Xunhuan with a heavy expression and said seriously, "Xunhuan, you must persuade Shiyin. Her mood has been getting worse. As her cousin, she will listen to you.

Also, don't spend all your time by the Qinhuai River. If I hadn't come to get you, would you really not return to Li Garden?"
