Setting Up the Game

You have acquired Thirty-Six Style Wind Chasing Swordplay

Wen Qingkong felt Xie Qianyu's Grandmaster cultivation completely merging into his body from the cold bed, as if he himself had been the one who had painstakingly practiced swordsmanship since childhood.

Wen Qingkong couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

Originally, he was still wondering where to find the corpse of a Martial Arts Grandmaster to stitch, but he never expected that a true swordplay genius would come today, helping him to break through smoothly and step into the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster.

In his mind, the movements of the Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay were still vivid.

Shen Luo killed his son-in-law, but he didn't know that his son-in-law, Xie Qianyu, had the skill of photographic memory.

When he was looking through the Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay, he had already completely memorized this ultimate technique.

Even Wen Qingkong didn't know if Xie Qianyu had really forgotten to tell his beloved wife, Shen Jiaoniang, about this, or if he was also guarding against his beloved wife and father-in-law.

The world of Jianghu is treacherous, and there is no trust to speak of.

This pair of father-in-law and son-in-law are proof of this.

Wen Qingkong put the clothes left by the old steward on Xie Qianyu.

The old man was Xie Meng, the Xie Family's steward, who had watched Xie Qianyu grow up since he was a child.

After putting on his clothes, Xie Qianyu's corpse was truly lifelike, and his demeanor was still the same.

"Be an ordinary person in your next life, maybe you can live happily."

Wen Qingkong sighed, then laughed at himself.

If he were really an ordinary person, in this world where martial artists exist, he would probably be nothing more than an ant, bullied by others.

Stepping into the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm, Wen Qingkong had solved half of the problems that needed to be solved urgently.

The reason why it was said to be half was because Martial Arts Grandmasters were really nothing in the White Lotus Sect.

However, according to Xie Qianyu's life review, Ji Xiuzhu, the swordplay master who shook Yujing City a hundred years ago, was a powerhouse who surpassed the realm of Martial Arts Great Grandmaster. The White Lotus Sect would not be uninterested in the swordplay left by such a powerhouse.

Shen Luo is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and although the Shen Family is not comparable to rebellious organizations like the White Lotus Sect, in this capital city, the Shen Family is a force no different from the Three Rivers Gang and the Wuding Gang, and they are not weak.

If the White Lotus Sect wants to attack the Shen Family, apart from the Holy Maiden, they will probably have to send three to five more Martial Arts Grandmasters, or even a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster.

This will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court.

At that time, the White Lotus Sect will definitely pay the price.

Wen Qingkong had made a decision when he thought of this.

He rested and slept on the first floor, waiting for dawn the next day.

The next day, at Chen time (7-9 AM), the door was knocked on.

Wen Qingkong opened the door, and it was Xie Meng, the Xie Family's steward, and Xie Qianyu's father, Xie Hai.

Wen Qingkong stepped aside.

Xie Hai walked to the cold bed, looked at his son who was as usual, and grief came from his heart.

This son of his had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he always did his best to do whatever he was told.

He had gone to Songzhou, thousands of miles away, alone at the age of sixteen without any problems. How could he have fallen in Yujing City?

He was a genius who stepped into the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster at the age of twenty-four!

Xie Hai, an old man sending off a young man, and sending off the future hope of the Xie Family, was filled with grief and indignation.

The steward Xie Meng quickly stepped forward to comfort and support him.

After a long time, Xie Meng beckoned for the Xie Family servants to carry in the coffin, and then carried Xie Qianyu into the coffin. Only then did Xie Hai barely restrain his grief and instruct everyone to carry his son away.

He walked to Wen Qingkong, cupped his hands and thanked him: "Master Wen's craftsmanship is extraordinary. The old lady of the Dongan Escort Agency did not deceive this old man. I have no way to repay you, except to give you more in terms of worldly possessions."

As he spoke, he had already taken out a stack of silver notes and stuffed them into Wen Qingkong's hands.

Wen Qingkong's heart stirred. If it was such worldly possessions, it would be really good to have more.

After seeing Xie Hai off and closing the door.

Wen Qingkong counted them, a full fifty hundred-tael silver notes.

He earned five thousand taels from this!

Dead people's money is really easy to earn.

After counting the silver notes, he handed them to Li Lan'er, who came down from the second floor.

Li Lan'er was dizzy and couldn't stand still.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

Is this Corpse Seamstress so profitable?

"Where is Master going?"

Li Lan'er looked at Wen Qingkong who was about to go out and asked curiously, breakfast had not been made yet.

"You and Shuang'er eat, I have something to do, I don't know how long I will be back."

Then, Wen Qingkong rubbed Shuang'er's little head again.

"When Uncle isn't here, little Shuang'er needs to practice her punches properly, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle."

"Little Shuang'er will practice her punches properly."

Shuang'er's crisp voice was extremely pleasant.

Wen Qingkong stepped out of Corpse Seamstress House Number Nine and headed straight for the Listening Wind Tea House in the east of the city.

When Wen Qingkong arrived at the Listening Wind Tea House, he carefully examined it.

The tea house was elegantly decorated, the snacks were exquisite, and there were few laborers present; most of the tea drinkers were from well-to-do families.

After casually inquiring, he learned that the Listening Wind Tea House had been doing business here for ten years.

This showed that the White Lotus Sect's arrangement in Yujing City was not short-term. What the White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden had told him was not entirely untrue. The other party's insistence on pulling him into the White Lotus Sect was not simply for the sake of having one more stronghold.

Wen Qingkong entered the tea house and went to the counter.

The shopkeeper was not tall, thin, and had the unique meanness of a businessman.

"Young master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I owe Mu Yinyao three taels and three fen of silver."

"Oh?"

"Young master, please come with me."

The shopkeeper moved and led the way.

Wen Qingkong's eyes were sharp, and he glanced over the shopkeeper's hands.

Although the shopkeeper was thin, his knuckles were large and he had calluses, indicating that these hands were not simple.

Arriving on the second floor, the shopkeeper led the way directly to a room at the innermost part.

After closing the door, the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly, and the coppery, mean smell of a businessman disappeared, replaced by sharpness and dominance.

"You must be the Holy Maiden's newly recruited little corpse seamstress."

"Speak, what is it?"

The shopkeeper sat down on his own, picked up a cup of tea, and looked down at Wen Qingkong.

Wen Qingkong pretended to be cautious and said, "Senior, I just got a message that Ji Xiuzhu's Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay from Qingyang Mountain has fallen into Shen Luo's hands."

The shopkeeper put down his teacup, frowned, stared at Wen Qingkong, and looked hesitant: "Where did you get this news from?"

"Last night, I sewed the corpse for Xie Qianyu of the Xie Family. Today, Xie Hai, the head of the Xie Family, came to take away Xie Qianyu's body."

"In his grief, he said that he must seek revenge on Shen Luo!"

"He also said that he must retrieve the Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay!"

"It is said that in the battle on Qingyang Mountain that day, hundreds of heroes were killed by Xie Qianyu, and Xie Qianyu was also besieged to death."

"Shen Luo personally brought Xie Qianyu's body back, and he was also injured."

"But the strange thing is that Ji Xiuzhu's Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay is missing."

"No matter how I think about it, this matter is not right."

"Connecting it with Xie Hai's statement today, I think the Fifty Hand Great Zhou Heaven Swordplay was originally obtained by Xie Qianyu, but he was ambushed by Shen Luo, and the swordplay was obtained by Shen Luo long ago!"
