Chapter 1749 Searching for Shifu!

Eiiii! Shifu, third brother, were about to arrive

Qin Xiao Lous voice reverberated throughout the surroundings.

The three galloping horses gradually slowed down and began to run along a dirt road.

Xie Dao Ling, Qin Xiao Lou, and Gu Qing Shan were each riding their own horses as they observed the city at the end of the road.

Ah, I can see it Gu Qing Shan replied.

The citys name was Luo Shui.

This was one of the biggest cities in the Human realm.

Ever since the Samsara was reset, Qin Xiao Lou had been taking refuge within this city.

He wasnt particularly strong, nor did he like to fight, so he hadnt been able to leave the city in fear of running into the Elemental monsters.

But he was also in a hurry to find Xie Dao Ling as well as his junior sect brothers and sisters, so he had to establish a base in the city, using divination every day to search for any clues regarding the members of Bai Hua sect.

as soon as Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling left the Elements War Zone, they were transported to a barren mountain on the outskirts of Luo Shui city.

After which they were found by Qin Xiao Lou.

Leading the way, Qin Xiao Lou boasted:

Today, I just felt like I should perform divination. Originally, I didnt think it would produce any results, but instead, it was Great Luck

Its been so long since I got Great Luck during divination, so I tried divining everyone individually starting from Qing Shan, Xiu Xiu, Wan Er, then Qing Rou. In the end, I found that Qing Shans fortune was identical to the Great Luck results that I got earlier

I then tried divining a direction and discovered that you were just a little bit to the North of where I was!

I immediately set out

Sure enough, I found you here, as well as... Shifus previous life incarnation, truly exceptional luck!

He cautiously glanced at Xie Dao Ling as he said that.

Thats right, today my luck is quite decent Gu Qing Shan followed up.

the total duration for [True Luck] was 24 hours, and it hadnt been 24 hours yet.

As for divination, it was the most mystical and inexplicable Art among the Six Arts of cultivation, capable of sneaking a peek into heavens will. Hardly one among millions of cultivators could even begin to comprehend it, but Qin Xiao Lou was capable of using it just like a fish in water.

Qin Xiao Lou was originally known as the number one expert of the Six Arts whose divination skills far surpassed others; while Gu Qing Shan was currently affected by (True Luck] and just happened to be dropped off on the outskirts of Luo Shui city

That was why they were found so quickly. At this point, Xie Dao Ling suddenly spoke:

You said you are called Qin Xiao Lou?

Yes, Shifu Qin Xiao Lou respectfully answered.

Gu Qing Shan is about to head into the Elements Purgatory, while Im under threat of being captured by the Heavenly Emperor at any moment. With your level of strength, perhaps you should hide to prevent yourself from being caught in the crossfire Xie Dao Ling suggested casually.

Qin Xiao Lou answered with a stern expression: Shifu, before the Samsara was reset, I had already managed to foretell a great upheaval within our world, causing the disciples of Bai Hua sect to become scattered

Oh? You managed to foretell that? Xie Dao Ling was intrigued.

Qin Xiao Lou slowly explained: Indeed. To that end, Ive drafted several plans layered on top of one another, stockpiling plenty of spirit stones, heavenly jades, treasure metals, as well as numerous ingredients. And since my personal strength is lacking, Ive already thought of the solution to establish a secret base. All I had to do was wait for the Samsara to change and once again establish the foundations of our sect which has already passed the initial phases! Xie Dao Ling and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.

Qin Xiao Lou continued: Dont you worry, Shifu, there are ample resources within our Bai Hua sects base, hidden in plain sight within a bustling city, furthermore, Ive installed several transportation formations to facilitate evacuation at any moment, it is completely safe

Indeed, what careful considerations Gu Qing Shan praised.

Xie Dao Ling also nodded and sighed: My present incarnation truly does have great discerning eyes, taking in disciples with unique talents and such well-rounded hearts, how remarkable

The three of them entered the city.

As expected, the city was bustling and prosperous, with individuals from the Beast King, Asura, and Human realm casually intermingling with one another.

It was only when some minor evil creatures and monsters showed up that there would be some small-scale chaos.

at this point, such creatures had only just started appearing in the Human realm, so they were still a rare sight.

But after a while, everyone would gradually come to accept it as the norm and stop paying attention to them.

The three of them walked through a long main street and eventually reached a secluded alleyway.

Shifu, third brother, were about to arrive Qin Xiao Lou assured them.

Second brother, were currently facing a difficult problem

Seeing that no one was here, Gu Qing Shan decided to tell him about it ahead of time.

-since Qin Xiao Lou had decided to become more responsible, it was natural to discuss the matters of the sect with him.

Go ahead, junior brother Qin Xiao Lou told him.

Were currently under the effects of a unique technique which makes it so that we cant search for Shifu. If we try to, there would be huge problems Gu Qing Shan said.

He was explaining it in a roundabout way.

Thats quite troublesome Qin Xiao Lou mused.

Thats right, but we still need to quickly come up with something after all, Shifu must become whole again in order to have a chance to regain her strength Gu Qing Shan added.

If we cant search for Shifu, would it be possible for Shifu to search for us instead? Qin Xiao Lou asked.

Hm, thats certainly a solution Gu Qing Shan praised.

Second brother is finally reliable, Im glad.

But how would Shifu be able to find us? Do you have any specific plan? Gu Qing Shan asked.

This is actually a very troublesome matter.

After Xie Dao Lings seal was broken and she escaped with the miniature Heaven realm, the Heavenly Emperor was definitely furious.

The Heavenly Emperor would surely send out all of his best subordinates to scour the Human realm in search of Xie Dao Ling.

He might even personally do it himself.

For that reason, Gu Qing Shan and Qin Xiao Lou needed to come up with something.

Not only do they need to attract Shifus attention and thus make her travel to Luo Shui city on her own accord; but they must also make sure that they didnt actually draw the attention of the heavenly beings.

how can we achieve this?

From the very beginning, Gu Qing Shan had been thinking about this problem in particular.

Xie Dao Ling also appeared attentive. But Qin Xiao Lou smiled confidently and replied: No need to worry yourself, junior brother, Ive performed many divinations and had been expecting todays situation. Thats why Ive already come up with a solution as well as made the preparations for it

Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes in surprise.

Xie Dao Ling also found that unexpected: Youve even made the preparations for the solution?

Indeed I have Qin Xiao Lou replied.

Whats the solution? Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but ask.

Qin Xiao Lou put his hands together and explained: We have to draw Shifus attention, but we need to avoid drawing the heavenly beings attention, so we need to send out a message the message needs to contain just enough information so that Shifu understands it, but the heavenly beings wouldnt be able to discern its true intentions

Makes sense Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Qin Xiao Lou continued: If this message is only sent out once, Shifu might not notice or pay attention to it, so it also needs to be a persistent message, one that will rouse discussion, doesnt intrusively draw attention, and one that Shifu will immediately recognize and come to find us when she sees it!

Youre right Gu Qing Shan agreed.

But then, how will you do it specifically? Xie Dao Ling asked.

it seems that not just Gu Qing Shan, but this second disciple of mine is also an extremely smart fellow.

Xie Dao Ling thought to herself.

Qin Xiao Lou the made a mysterious expression and replied: Follow me, Ive already prepared everything The three of them quickly went through the whole alleyway.

Very quickly, they arrived in front of a tall building.

Take a look!

Qin Xiao Lou proudly had them take a look at the building

Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling both looked up to see that there was a large sign being hung in front of the building, which contained two large characters written in brilliant calligraphy.

Gu Qing Shan muttered: Green- Building[1]

The air immediately froze.

A gust of wind blew away from his body and disappeared.

That seemed to be Li An.

Is she angry?

Gu Qing Shan only had that thought for a split second before he stopped himself.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he began wracking his brain to resolve another bigger issue.

I need to quickly come up with a way to help Xiao Lou explain, or hes dead!

What is this about? Xie Dao Ling asked with an indifferent expression.

Qin Xiao Lou boasted proudly: The qing is the same qing in Gu Qing Shans name, and lou in Qin Xiao Lou

And? Is that the only reason? Surely theres something else?

Gu Qing Shan was winking rapidly at him.

Qin Xiao Lou puffed out his chest: Junior brother, you dont understand. Even though the name is Qing Lou, its actually a restaurant

A restaurant? Xie Dao Ling questioned.

Exactly, its my restaurant- Im sure third brother still remembers it from back then, we used to be in a duo in the Qing Lou airship combo

Really now? Xie Dao Ling turned her gaze to Gu Qing Shan.

Ah, we didnt actually form a real combo Gu Qing Shan continuously waved his hand dismissively, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to jump inside.

After Shifu found out about this, she scolded me for an entire day straight I bet that our Qing Lou left a very deep impression on her Qin Xiao Lou added.

And then? Xie Dao Ling asked.

Although my restaurant still hasnt opened, you should know about my spirit cooking skills. Once I officially open shop, its name will surely spread far and wide Qin Xiao Lou replied.

Gu Qing Shan tried following up for him: After that, Shifu would hear about a restaurant that specializes in spirit cooking that is the best in the world, she would only need to think about it briefly to realize that youre the owner

Thats right, then shell come searching for

Us!

Qin Xiao Lou clapped his hands and

about my plan?

Gu Qing Shan didnt dare to check Xie Dao Lings expression and tried laughing it off: Although the method is a bit unorthodox, its clear that you put a lot of thought into it

There is one prerequisite to this, your spirit cooking must actually be renowned throughout the entire Human realm, otherwise, opening a restaurant called Qing Lou would only make our sect a laughing stock Xie Dao Ling coldly commented.

Qin Xiao Lou replied: Dont worry Shifu. When it comes to cultivation or fighting, Im leagues behind everyone else, but if youre talking about spirit cooking... Hmph, the only person in all the realms that can even compare to me is third brother

Can you swear to me that your Qing Lou isnt actually doing that kind of business? Xie Dao Ling sternly questioned him.

Qin Xiao Lou answered with a similarly stern expression: Shifu, although I frequently go out drinking with Gu Qing Shan in such establishments, I would definitely not open a brothel

Gu Qing Shan face-palmed.

Why... did you have to drag me down...

Xie Dao Ling narrowed her eyes and turned to Gu Qing Shan: Is that the truth?

What else could Gu Qing Shan say?

He could only pretend like he really didnt mind those words and happily followed up: Its true, second brother would definitely not have the courage to open a brothel, his spirit cooking skills are definitely a cut above the rest, Shifu can be assured

Hmph Xie Dao Ling scoffed.

...Shifu, how about you come inside first, senior brother and I will make you a meal Gu Qing Shan tried suggesting.

Xie Dao Ling shook her head: As long as it

doesnt matter. Theres no need for you to make any food, since youre going to succeed no matter what you do during this period of time, Id like to examine your second brothers spirit cooking first

Hearing her say that, Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.

When it comes to cooking, Qin Xiao Lous expertise was genuine.

Then let us go in first

Hm

Qin Xiao Lou began to cook.

Xie Dao Ling personally observed him from behind.

Only Gu Qing Shan remained alone in the dining hall of the restaurant, silently waiting for the results while sipping some tea.

Suddenly, lines of bloody red text appeared in the void of space:

[Attention, the duration for True Luck is over]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

has it already been 24 hours?

I feel like... I forgot something... Thats right, Li An, are you here? Gu Qing Shan asked.

After a while, Li Ans voice answered him from the void of space: [ After accompanying you the entire way from before, I returned for a short while earlier ]

What did you return for? Gu Qing Shan couldnt help but ask.

Li An replied: [ Its a brothel, so of course youll need the help of my subordinate Tianma girls, theyll silently protect your Shifu as well as drawing more customers to your establishment, becoming renowned in as little time as possible ] Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, a group of girls merrily entered the restaurant.

Each of them were eye-candy of the highest quality, capable of alluring people with every smile, gesture, physique, as well as aura.

At this point, Xie Dao Ling had just come out of the kitchen.

She was clasping her hands behind and her back and commented with a pleased tone: Hm, your second brothers skills are

She abruptly stopped.

In front of her, the beautiful girls gracefully came forward and spoke to Gu Qing Shan all at once: Young master Gu, please take care of us from now on

Im Chuchu

Im Xiao Yao

Xin Er here, young master Gu~

The Tianma introduced themselves one by one.

Gu Qing Shan was completely frozen.

(1) In case anyone forgot, this is written as Qing Lou, which can also mean brothel in Chinese, made up of two characters from Gu Qing Shan and Qin Xiao Lous names respectively
