Chapter 166 Here's a Big Gossip for You
Zhou Botong cried out in alarm and quickly used his Golden Goose Skill to dodge.
He moved with agility, dodging the incoming golden sword energy runes with quick, nimble movements.
However, the golden sword aura runes covered a very large area, and after dodging for a while, he realized that he could not escape this area at all.
"It seems the only option is to block it."
Zhou Botong immediately realized this and, without further hesitation, clenched his fists and used his self-created Empty Fist.
The force of his fist is like water, extremely yin and soft!
After a Snowfall, the Sun Shines Brightly VS. Empty Fist!
The golden sword energy runes struck the clear fist energy, like a sword piercing into a lake. The fist energy rippled with waves, but could not advance any further.
All the force was completely exhausted by the punch, leaving not a trace of strength.
"Um?"
Gu Qianbei noticed this and his expression changed slightly.
What a bizarre boxing style!
Is this the Empty Fist created by the Old Rascal?
Sure enough, there was something there.
The sword energy runes that appeared after the snow cleared were all blocked by the Empty Fist. Zhou Botong then used the Golden Goose Skill to come to Gu Qianbei's place.
With his left hand forming a palm and his right hand forming a fist, he struck out simultaneously, attempting to shatter the golden light surrounding Gu Qianbei.
This is exactly the old rascal's specialty: fighting with both hands simultaneously.
Gu Qianbei sensed the danger and immediately used the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions technique to evade it.
Six afterimages appeared instantly, dazzling Zhou Botong.
"What kind of light-footed skill is this? This is so much fun!"
Zhou Botong's eyes lit up again, finding Gu Qianbei's moves both novel and fun.
But Gu Qianbei stopped after dodging.
"Senior's martial arts are superb, let's end the contest here."
Having already verified his current strength and witnessed Zhou Botong's many martial arts skills, Gu Qianbei immediately lost interest in continuing the fight.
"No, I see you know quite a lot. Let's continue our sparring."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Botong said somewhat anxiously.
"I have just broken through, and my cultivation is not yet very stable. Excessive consumption of internal energy is not good for my body."
"Oh right! I almost forgot. Then let's not call for now."
"Kid, what are all these martial arts techniques of yours? They're really fun! I want to become your disciple, will you teach me?"
To put it nicely, Zhou Botong was innocent and carefree; to put it bluntly, he was a bit shameless.
He wants to learn any interesting martial arts techniques he comes across, and he doesn't care who his master is.
Seeing Zhou Botong like this, Cheng Lingsu was so shocked that her pupils dilated.
How could such a martial arts master make such an outrageous request?
Gu Qianbei smiled helplessly.
"Senior, I am not qualified to take you in."
"I have a disciple who is Guo Jing's nephew. If you were to become my disciple, wouldn't the entire generational hierarchy be messed up?"
"What? You know that silly boy Guo Jing? When did that silly boy have a nephew?"
Zhou Botong was first startled, then his face was full of doubt.
"Yang Kang's son."
"Wasn't Yang Kang a long time ago? Where did he get a son?"
Zhou Botong was even more puzzled.
"It's a long story. By the way, Senior Zhou, I have some interesting news. Would you like to know?"
Gu Qianbei suddenly thought of something and smiled mysteriously.
If we don't find a way to distract Zhou Botong, this guy will probably keep bothering him.
That's quite a problem.
"What news? So mysterious. I'm not really interested. Let's talk about the apprenticeship thing instead."
"No, no, no, you'll be interested. This news is related to Ying Gu and Master Yideng."
Zhou Botong's pupils shrank instantly, and he looked at Gu Qianbei with disbelief.
"So you know Ying Gu and Master Yideng? What are you trying to say?"
"To put it simply, you and Ying Gu had a child back then, and Master Yideng was so magnanimous that he allowed Ying Gu to give birth to the child in the palace."
Unfortunately, not long after the child was born, he was severely injured by Qiu Qianren, who had secretly infiltrated the palace.
Qiu Qianren believed that the child was Master Yideng's child and wanted to use this to deplete Master Yideng's internal energy and severely damage his cultivation.
When Ying Gu saw that the child was seriously injured, she went to Master Yideng for treatment.
While Master Yideng hesitated, Ying Gu went mad and stabbed the seriously injured child to death. She then left the palace and came to hate Master Yideng.
Master Yideng felt remorseful and became a monk.
"What? What did you say? Ying Gu and I had a child? The child is dead? Master Yideng didn't become a monk because of my affair with Ying Gu, but because he felt guilty for not saving my child?"
Zhou Botong felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he never expected that the whole story from back then was like this.
"Whether it's true or false, you can find out by asking Ying Gu at Black Dragon Pool."
Once you've found out the truth, you'd better take Ying Gu to apologize to Master Yideng.
You guys really screwed them over.
If you wish to take revenge, you can also seek out Master Yideng.
"Because Qiu Qianren, the murderer who killed your son, has been converted by Master Yideng and is now practicing under the alias Ci'en."
"This...this..."
Zhou Botong felt completely numb.
The amount of information in that statement was simply too much for him to process all at once.
Ying Gu is at Black Dragon Pool!
Zhou Botong extracted this key point from Gu Qianbei's words, and immediately abandoned his plan to learn martial arts from a master. He then used his lightness skill to head towards Black Dragon Pool.
"Young man, if what you're saying is true, I, the Old Rascal, owe you a favor!"
Zhou Botong disappeared from Gu Qianbei's sight, but those words drifted slowly from afar.
"Compared to the original story, Zhou Botong knew about it twenty years earlier, which can be considered as helping them untie this knot in advance, and can be regarded as a great deed."
In fact, the person Gu Qianbei really wanted to help in this matter was neither Ying Gu nor Zhou Botong, but Master Yideng.
Master Yideng's story is purely about an honest, wealthy, and powerful second-generation rich kid who gets ripped off.
The adulterer at least felt he was wrong and was ashamed to face him, but the adulteress not only didn't feel she was wrong, she even had the nerve to blame him for not using up his own power to save her and the adulterer's child.
I really don't know how to evaluate these values.
If it were Gu Qianbei, he would have sent the unreasonable Ying Gu to hell long ago.
Either Master Yideng was truly head over heels in love with Consort Ying, and was willing to wear this green hat (a symbol of infidelity) for her.
Either Master Yideng is a great sage, or he can tolerate this, which is simply outrageous.
It's tragic that good people should be held at gunpoint.
Gu Qianbei shook his head slightly as he thought of this.
"Brother Gu, is everything you just said true?"
Cheng Lingsu, however, was intrigued by this gossip and asked curiously.
"Of course it's true. What? You want to hear the story?"
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"If it's not too much trouble, I can listen to it."
With the night long and nothing much to do, listening to some old gossip is indeed a good way to pass the time.
Gu Qianbei did not refuse and told Cheng Lingsu the story.
Cheng Lingsu listened with great interest, and in the end, she expressed her boundless sympathy for Master Yideng.
Being an honest person is really tough.
