End of Chapter 146
The Junshan Conference has finally come to a close.
However, the unfinished battle between Qiao Feng and Guo Jing has become a topic of much discussion.
Some say that Guo Jing possessed the Nine Yin Manual, so his internal strength must have surpassed that of Qiao Feng.
However, some say that Hong Qigong saw that Guo Jing was no match for him, which is why he handed the Dog-Beating Stick to Qiao Feng.
In short, opinions vary.
But the Dog-Beating Stick eventually came into the possession of the Clean Clothes Faction, making Qiao Feng a great hero of the Clean Clothes Faction.
After all, this dog-beating stick hadn't appeared in the hands of the Clean Clothes Faction for thirty years.
The Clean Clothes Faction members were grateful for Hong Qigong's arrangements, but some of the Dirty Clothes Faction members were dissatisfied.
However, Hong Qigong didn't care about this.
He's no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect, so let them be dissatisfied.
It's better than Huang Rong losing the Dog-Beating Stick and being blamed by the Dirty Clothes Faction.
This can be considered a peaceful resolution.
What's wrong with a master helping his apprentice carry some of the burden?
Huang Rong and Guo Jing had even less to say about it.
They didn't care about these things; nothing was more important than guarding Xiangyang.
After the conference concluded, people from all factions departed.
"Manager Gu, I never expected your cultivation to be so advanced."
Zhou Zhiruo found Gu Qianbei with a look of admiration.
Song Qingshu followed closely behind, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Manager Gu, if you're so capable, why did you mess with us back in Qixia Town?"
Looking at the two of them, Gu Qianbei smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'll treat you to drinks next time to make up for it."
He couldn't say that he was at that level back then, otherwise, it would be hard to explain why his cultivation level increased so rapidly.
So, just give me a perfunctory answer and that's it. Why bother explaining so much?
After seeing the two off, the people from the Huashan Sect arrived.
"I didn't expect I couldn't even beat your disciple. I'll go back and train hard, and I'll definitely defeat him next time!"
Yue Lingshan looked at Yang Guo beside Gu Qianbei with a face full of dissatisfaction, which was quite cute.
Yang Guo put his hands behind his back, as if he had thought of something, and revealed a profound and unfathomable smile.
"Those who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me."
"you!"
Yue Lingshan was immediately stunned by this pretentious air, but anger still showed on her face.
Gu Qianbei suddenly slapped Yang Guo on the head. Yang Guo winced in pain, clutching his head and looking at Gu Qianbei pitifully.
"Master..."
"Did I tell you a few short stories so you could use them to fill in the blanks?"
Gu Qianbei complained.
Damn it, I should have known better than to tell Yang Guo this story.
He originally intended to use it to show off.
Now that Yang Guo has used it, what will I use in the future?
You traitor!
"Master, I was wrong."
Yang Guo apologized smoothly.
Gu Qianbei looked at Yue Lingshan and smiled, "Miss Yue, don't listen to Guo'er's nonsense. I wish you success."
Hearing this, Yue Lingshan felt a little better.
At this moment, Linghu Chong put his arm around Gu Qianbei's shoulder, glanced at Yue Buqun not far away, and lowered his voice.
"Brother Gu, my master is in a hurry to leave, so it seems I won't have a chance to ask you for wine this time. Next time, next time you must treat me to a drink!"
Gu Qianbei sighed.
I really want to live like Linghu Chong, shameless and brazen, even just once.
After everyone left, Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo were about to find Hong Qigong and the others for a small gathering, but they encountered Hua Wuque blocking their way.
"Brother Hua, were you waiting for me on purpose?"
Gu Qianbei smiled and looked at the elegant and refined Hua Wuque.
"Yes. I'd like to be friends with you."
Hua Wuque's expression remained indifferent, but there was a hint of nervousness hidden in his eyes.
Making friends?
Gu Qianbei hadn't expected that Hua Wuque's purpose was this.
It's truly pitiful to think about Hua Wuque. He was raised by his enemy from a young age. Although he was carefully nurtured, he was also beaten and scolded by Yaoyue, leaving him with countless childhood traumas.
If Lianxing hadn't always been kind to Hua Wuque, Gu Qianbei would have doubted whether Hua Wuque would have survived to adulthood.
Later, the truth came out: he knew that Yaoyue was the enemy who killed his biological parents, but he respected her as much as he would his parents, and he couldn't bring himself to harm her.
In the end, he could only lick his wounds alone, comforting himself again and again in the cold night.
This torment was even worse than that in Yang Kang's case.
Because Hua Wuque is a gentleman.
Seeing that Gu Qianbei remained silent, Hua Wuque became even more nervous.
"Does he not want to? Does he dislike me? Or does he dislike Yihua Palace? No, Yihua Palace is so good, it can't be a problem with Yihua Palace."
So that means you dislike me?
Am I really that bad?
Yes, I just lost to him.
Moreover, I lost to him despite having a higher cultivation level, so it's normal for him to look down on me.
Ha, Hua Wuque, as expected, no one wants to be your friend.
Even if he wanted to, his friend would still be killed by the master.
Hua Wuque was torn between his inner thoughts and his own mind, and he thought of countless strange things.
Gu Qianbei was unaware that Hua Wuque was thinking about so many things while he was in shock. He simply stepped forward slowly and extended his right hand.
"Why are you looking so serious when we're just making friends?"
Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Gu Qianbei, which means "a thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend." I am a winemaker.
My dream is to open my own tavern, "A Thousand Sorrows," all over the world.
Nice to meet you."
Looking at Gu Qianbei, who was sincere and smiling, Hua Wuque's grumbling and resentment vanished, as if a ray of sunshine had shone on him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too! My name is Hua Wuque, meaning 'the moon shines brightly in my heart, and the eternal reunion without flaw,' and I come from the Yihua Palace."
Dreams... I... I don't have any dreams for now.
When Hua Wuque said these words with his aloof expression, he looked somewhat adorable.
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Hua truly has the heart of a child. It doesn't matter if you don't have a dream now; you'll have one someday."
"I caused you to fail your sect's mission today. Won't you be punished when you get back?"
Hua Wuque shook his head.
"I have done my best. If my master wants to punish me, there is nothing I can do."
It is truly an honor to have met Brother Gu today. I must return to my master's sect as soon as possible to report back, so I must take my leave now.
Hua Wuque cupped his hands slightly, then turned and left.
"This guy comes fast and goes fast."
Gu Qianbei shook his head and chuckled.
"Master, this person is very strange."
Yang Guo complained.
"He's pretty strange. But he's a nice guy. Let's go eat."
In the lobby.
Hong Qigong, Qiao Feng, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Guo Fu have all arrived.
Upon seeing Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo arrive, Hong Qigong immediately said, "Gu boy, you're late. I'll punish you by making you bring out a few more jars of wine so we can have a good time."
Today we have Rong'er's dishes; if we add your wine, it would be perfect.
"No problem."
If you can enjoy the dishes cooked by Huang Rong, then bringing out some wine is naturally no problem.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but sigh at how lucky Guo Jing was.
If I had a wife like that, I'd be willing to become the best in the world for her.
