Chapter 276 Revealing One's Origins
"Brother Yu, where do you plan to go next? If you don't have any particular plans, you can come back to the Number One Manor in the World with me for a short stay."
The people there speak pleasantly, and they all have a special skill; it's a very nice place.
Gu Qianbei extended an invitation to Xiaoyuer, whose eyes lit up and who immediately agreed.
"Great! I've heard that the Number One Manor in the World attracts the best talents from all over the world. It's a very interesting place, and I'd love to go and see for myself."
Are you from the number one manor in the world? What is the number one manor in the world?
Surely he's not the most handsome man in the world?
"Brother Fish, you certainly know how to talk. Although I am a strong contender for this title, the Number One Manor in the World does not currently offer this service."
I am now the world's number one winemaker, and I have quite a bit of experience in the art of winemaking.
"Brother Yu, if you go to the Number One Manor in the World, you might be able to earn the title of Number One Mischief in the World."
"The world's number one troublemaker? I like that title."
Xiaoyuer felt that Gu Qianbei's suggestion was very much to his liking, and perhaps he could really consider it.
"There are many benefits to joining the number one manor in the world. If you're interested, Brother Yu, I'll tell you all about it on the way."
"Alright. Evil Tongtian, let's go! Let's go with Old Gu to the number one manor in the world."
"Yes, Master!"
Evil Tongtian immediately responded.
Gu Qianbei glanced at the big, clumsy guy and felt quite sorry for his future fate.
What a wonderful apprentice!
In the end, in order to protect Xiaoyuer and the others, he was brutally murdered by Liu happy.
The four of them immediately headed towards the number one manor in the world.
On the way, Gu Qianbei and Xiaoyuer talked about the various benefits of the number one manor in the world, the most important of which was naturally the intelligence system of the number one manor in the world.
"The number one manor in the world and the Dragon Guard Manor have an intricate relationship, and the Dragon Guard Manor controls the most powerful intelligence system in the Ming Dynasty."
If there's anything you want to investigate, you can ask the Number One Manor in the World for help.
While we can't say we've found out 100% of the truth, we're pretty close to it.
Upon hearing Gu Qianbei say this, Xiaoyuer's eyes lit up.
After leaving Alcatraz, the thing he most wanted to investigate was his own background.
He wanted to know who he really was, how his parents died, and who his enemies were.
He originally planned to go to the Red Leaf Pavilion, an intelligence organization in the martial arts world, to inquire about information, but now that there is a better option, he naturally decided to give up on the Red Leaf Pavilion.
After all, no matter how powerful Hongyezhai is, it is still just a Jianghu organization.
How could a江湖 (jianghu) organization possibly compare to the intelligence of the imperial court?
If a martial arts organization were truly more powerful than the imperial court, the imperial court would be the first to destroy it.
"If the number one manor in the world really has such amazing intelligence capabilities, I really want to find out something."
Little Fish suddenly became serious.
When it comes to his own background, he naturally has to be more serious.
"Oh? What does Brother Fish want to know?"
"I want to know how Yan Nantian, the number one swordsman in the world back then, ended up on Devil's Island."
Who was that child he brought to Alcatraz back then?
Little Fish whispered.
"Is that the child you were talking about, Brother Yu?"
Gu Qianbei said.
"That's right. Old Gu, you're a smart man; you guessed it right away."
Then I won't hide it from you anymore.
Ever since I learned that it was Uncle Yan Nantian who brought me to Devil's Island, I have been very curious about my background.
Unfortunately, Uncle Yan was betrayed by my godparents and became a living dead. I don't know if he will ever wake up again.
Therefore, I had to investigate on my own.
"If you want to know about this, I can tell you directly."
That incident caused quite a stir back then, and I've heard about it.
"Really? Old Gu, then tell me, what do you know?"
Little Fish immediately became excited.
He didn't expect that he would find someone who knew the inside story so quickly.
"It's a long story, let me tell you slowly."
Gu Qianbei then recounted how Yu Lang Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü fell in love and how they were ultimately killed by the Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace.
Little Fish listened intently, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Wanwan and E Tongtian, who were standing to the side, were also listening with great interest.
Wanwan almost shed tears over the tragic love story of the two.
"I never imagined there could be such devoted lovers in the world, willing to give up their lives for each other."
While sighing, Wanwan couldn't help but look at Gu Qianbei.
She was also worried that her relationship with Gu Qianbei would be opposed by her master, Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan, which would cause a series of troubles.
But with Gu Qianbei's current strength, even if Zhu Yuyan objects, they have the power to fight back.
So, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
They are not like Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü, whose strength is weak and who can only be slaughtered at will.
"In the end, Yan Nantian took away Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü's child, which is you."
Gu Qianbei finished telling his story, which left Xiaoyuer feeling quite emotional.
"I never imagined my background was like this. Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenü? If that's the case, my surname is Jiang, so I should be called Jiang Xiaoyu."
The Flower Palace is my enemy.
Then isn't Hua Wuque, the friend I just made, actually my enemy's disciple?
Is he my enemy now?
As Xiaoyuer spoke, for some reason, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He felt that he and Hua Wuque were born to be friends, so how did they suddenly become enemies?
"Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. If you want revenge, you should seek it out from Palace Master Yaoyue, not from Hua Wuque."
But with your current martial arts skills, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from either Palace Master Yaoyue or Hua Wuque.
You can't even beat a few of the palace maids from the Flower Palace.
Gu Qianbei's words were ruthless, but Xiaoyuer knew they were true.
He had just witnessed Hua Wuque's martial arts skills, which were absolutely terrifying and far surpassed his own.
Even if he cultivated for another ten years, he might not be a match for such a person.
Not to mention a terrifyingly powerful figure like Princess Yaoyue.
For a moment, Little Fish felt that life was bleak.
My enemy is too strong.
"Old Gu, what you said really hurt me."
Am I destined to never get revenge in this lifetime?
Little Fish sighed.
"You are not without hope of revenge."
My first hope is to cure your Uncle Yan.
Yan Nantian was once the number one swordsman in the world, invincible below the level of a celestial being, and capable of exchanging blows for one above the level of a celestial being.
Although he is seriously injured, his profound internal strength should still be intact.
If he were to awaken, he might be able to break through the barriers of the past and rise above the realm of the celestial beings, thereby defeating Yaoyue, the Palace Master of Yihua Palace.
My second hope is that you yourself cultivate yourself well.
You have excellent physical attributes and extremely high talent, even surpassing Hua Wuque.
What you lack is the right martial arts skills and the motivation to practice diligently.
Although you may have some cleverness, it's useless against a true master.
You should know that very few people who can cultivate martial arts to the highest level are fools.
No matter how smart you are, you won't have an absolute advantage in this area.
Therefore, martial arts skills are necessary.
