I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 359 Find out
As soon as Shen Lin finished speaking, the sunken figure on the chair opposite him slowly sat up straight, then raised his head to reveal his true face. His eyes were dull, his eye sockets were sunken, and his beard was untidy. Judging from his decadent appearance, he seemed no different from a homeless person on the street.

When Shen Lin saw the other person's haggard face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

"Since Liu Qi has come here in person to challenge, Madam, just ask Master Zhu to come out to fight." The haggard-looking man spoke with full energy and a resounding voice. His slightly distracted eyes were fixed on Shen Lin who was standing opposite him. "With Master Shen here, Madam, are you still worried that Liu Qi will kill him?"

Shangguan Ping, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, was obviously a little flustered when she heard this, but she quickly raised her hand, pretended to wipe her tears and covered her face with her sleeves, and then said in a sad voice: "Boss Gu, if I can ask Wei Tong to come out, why would I have to be so shameless as to ask for your help here."

The man with a haggard face and a decadent look was none other than Gu Liancheng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect. He looked to be around forty years old, with a sturdy build. When he sat up straight, he was a head taller than Shen Lin, who also sat straight across from him.

When Gu Liancheng heard Shangguan Ping complaining, his expression did not change at all. He just raised his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Lin, then asked, "Did Gang Leader Shen come to watch the battle in Jiangnan?"

Shen Lin stroked the box on his lap and replied without looking up: "Boss Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Gu Liancheng immediately said bluntly: "I heard that after Liu Qi fought with Jiang Jiyu, she was attacked by a mysterious master. According to rumors, the mysterious master who attacked her was the Black Prison King and the Knife Sharpening Old Man of the Black Prison Gate."

Shen Lin then raised his head and responded to Gu Liancheng's gaze, saying coldly, "She, Liu Qi, was the Seven Killing Orders of the Black Prison Gate. I think the Black Prison King and the Knife Sharpener are doing this to clean up the sect."

Gu Liancheng's eyes narrowed. "Over the years, the Black Prison King has helped Futian do a lot of shameful things. If Liu Qi is really His Majesty, then the Black Prison King and the old man sharpening the knife are not committing treason and rebelling against His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin immediately snorted coldly: "Rebellion... Humph, it's just a bunch of shameless demons killing each other."

Shen Lin's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Gu Liancheng with a hint of sneer in his eyes: "I almost forgot that your gang's deputy leader Xiu was defeated by Liu Qidao. Leader Gu is so hesitant, could it be that... he is also afraid?"

Faced with Shen Lin's blunt ridicule, Gu Liancheng simply lowered his eyes and chose to keep silent.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two people gradually tense, Shangguan Ping, who was sitting at the head, quickly wiped away her tears, and then said softly to Shen Lin: "Boss Shen, Wei Tong has repeatedly warned us before he went into seclusion. If there is any accident at Sihai Villa, Boss Shen, for Wei Tong's sake, you will definitely not sit idly by!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin quietly glanced at Shangguan Ping in the hall, then retracted his gaze and nodded heavily: "I wish the headmaster would be grateful to Shen Lin for giving him a new life. Now no matter who wants to cause trouble for Sihai Villa, I, Shen Lin, will not stand idly by!"

After saying that, he stood up suddenly, and the wooden box that was originally on his legs was now hung on his back.

Shen Lin let his arms hang naturally at his sides, and then stared at Gu Liancheng who was bowing his head and saying nothing. He couldn't help but sneer, "It is said that the people of the Beggars' Sect value friendship the most. I think you are too carefree now. It's true. How can friendship compare to the moving heart of wine and sex!"

After confronting Gu Liancheng, Shen Lin turned around and clasped his fists towards Shangguan Ping: "Madam, please rest assured. With me, Shen Lin, here, I will definitely not let Liu Qi do whatever he wants in this place of learning!"

After saying this, without waiting for Shangguan Ping to respond, Shen Lin turned around and walked resolutely towards the door.

It was not until he saw Shen Lin's back disappear at the gate out of the corner of his eye that Gu Liancheng raised his head. He stared in the direction where Shen Lin left, and then slowly stood up.

"Shangguan Ping." Gu Liancheng turned his head slightly and glanced at Shangguan Ping who was sitting on the high chair behind him. He said in a cold tone, "Is Zhu Weitong in seclusion, or has something happened?"

Such a tone clearly shows the intention of questioning!
Shangguan Ping's eyes widened when she heard this. She held her chest and leaned back. Then she said in a trembling voice, "He... of course he is in seclusion. Could it be possible... that I... could hurt him?"

Hearing this, the coldness in Gu Liancheng's eyes dissipated a little, but his tone was still solemn: "Just because you can't hurt him doesn't mean others can't hurt him. Shangguan Ping, I can turn a blind eye to the evil you did back then, but if Zhu Weitong has any mishap, I will make your deeds known to the public, and then..."

As Gu Liancheng continued to tell the story, Shangguan Ping's eyes widened almost to their limit, her breathing became rapid, and her facial features visibly distorted.

Gu Liancheng also saw Shangguan Ping's frightened expression from the corner of his eye. He narrowed his eyes and closed his mouth, then retracted his gaze and walked out the door silently.

Bang, bang, bang!
At the moment when Gu Liancheng's back disappeared at the gate, Shangguan Ping angrily cleared away everything on the table. Then, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes, she grappled with gritted teeth, "Zhu Weitong, Zhu Weitong, does he have the ability to do whatever he wants just because he is a martial arts master? Does he have the ability to get whatever he wants?"

boom!
Shangguan Ping was so angry that she flipped the table next to her. She looked at the table that had rolled to the ground and suddenly froze in place. Then two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes...

……

"stop!"

"stop!"

……

The crowded crowd kept retreating. Most of them were students from academies wearing Confucian robes. They were holding rolled-up books or short sticks that they had found from somewhere. A few people carrying weapons could be seen among them.

As they continued to retreat, a concave semicircle was formed.

And in the spacious and empty depression of the semicircle, a pink figure was walking forward slowly.

Soon the students at the back retreated to the steps in front of the gate. Everyone looked back and realized that they had nowhere to retreat.

Liu Qi walked against the crowd all the way to the steps at the entrance of the academy, and she finally stopped.

As she stood still, she heard a uniform sound of relief.

"Get out of my way!" At this moment a loud shout came from nowhere.

The crowd on the steps suddenly surged and quickly made way for a passage.

An old man with a long beard and a green robe appeared at the end of the passage. Behind him, who looked a little thin, was the gate of Sihai Academy, of which only the door frame was left.

There is education for all, everywhere in the world.

It is said that this is the purpose of the Sihai Academy, so all the academies in the world have doors, but Sihai Academy alone has no gate.

"elder sister……"

Suddenly, a round-faced girl timidly walked out from behind the old man. When she saw Liu Qi standing gracefully in a pink dress at the bottom of the stairs, she shrank back behind the old man tremblingly, but eventually took the initiative to walk forward and whispered to Liu Qi, "Sister."

The word "sister" not only made Liu Qi look up, but also made the surrounding students who were on high alert look at her sideways.

"Did I hear it right just now? She called this female devil sister?" Someone rubbed his ears and asked in disbelief.

"Which class is this girl from? Which school did she get in from?"

"Isn't this Liu Xiangxiang? She is not a formal student of the academy. She is currently studying with Mr. Lin from Class D."

"Class D? Isn't that a class for enlightenment?"

……

Liu Xiangxiang heard the discussions of the people around her. She was already at a loss, her face turned red and she quickly lowered her head, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands.

Liu Qi took in all of Liu Xiangxiang's actions, then his eyes narrowed and he looked towards the place where the loudest discussions were happening.

Wherever their eyes looked, everyone felt a chill on their backs, so the discussions gradually died down and the scene gradually returned to silence.

"This is a place for studying." The old man standing at the gate said with trembling beard, "If you want to fight, please find another place."

Liu Qi shook his head: "But I want to go from here."

The old man's face froze instantly.

Liu Qi continued in a slow voice, "It's unreasonable to knock on someone's door and not go through the front door, don't you think so, old sir?"

Seeing that the old man did not answer, Liu Qi glanced at the students around him and said softly: "If you also want to see my sword, Liu Qi will not hide anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed, and then her right hand climbed onto the hilt of the knife. Seeing this action, the students surrounding her all showed shock on their faces, and the timid ones even trembled with their legs and swayed.

"stop!"

"elder sister!"

The old man and Liu Xiangxiang exclaimed at the same time.

As Liu Xiangxiang finished speaking, she heard the old man beside her shouting, so she shrank her neck and looked to the side. Seeing that the old man was so angry that his face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and begged Liu Qi, "Sister, don't hurt them."

Only then did Liu Qi raise his eyes slightly and look directly at Liu Xiangxiang, his former "sister".

"Xiangxiang, are you... not afraid of death?" Liu Qi asked in a light tone, her hand always on the hilt of the Jingji Knife.

"I..." Liu Xiangxiang's expression froze instantly.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the gate.

The man who came was wearing the same blue shirt as the old man, but he looked much younger, a man in his prime.

The man came to the position where he stood shoulder to shoulder with the old man. He glared at the old man beside him angrily, then waved his hand at the students around him: "What are you doing here? Go and study!"

Hearing what the man said, the students around him instantly became excited. One of the students even dared to speak to the man loudly: "Mr. Dong, can't you see that we are protecting the academy?"

The middle-aged man called Mr. Dong's face turned cold: "If the academy needed a bunch of powerless idiots like you to protect it, it would have been destroyed long ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the students present froze.

Then the man turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Mr. Lin, they are ignorant, so do you want to follow their lead and make trouble?"

The old man was so angry that his beard was shaking: "Dong Chong, what are you doing? Are you going to let this female devil defile the holy place of the academy?"

"That's enough!" Mr. Dong roared, shocking the old man so much that he froze in his tracks. "It's just a place with a few crappy books and a few useless teachers. How can it be called a holy place?"

After saying that, Dong Chong turned around again and waved his hand: "Go away."

This teacher named Dong Chong seemed to have great prestige. Although the students around him had visibly reluctant expressions on their faces, they still dispersed dejectedly one after another.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly. His right hand, which was on the hilt of the Jingji Sword, quietly dropped to his side. Then he stepped onto the steps and walked towards the gate of the academy.

Dong Chong roughly pulled the old man and Liu Xiangxiang aside, then bowed slightly to Liu Qi who was approaching and said, "Miss Liu, go straight after entering the academy, and you will see a long corridor. Go down the corridor and you will reach the pier. Opposite the pier is the gate of Sihai Villa. There are several small boats parked at the pier. You will have to row over there yourself, Miss Liu."

With a tone neither humble nor arrogant, he directly pointed out the way to Sihai Villa to Liu Qi.

After Liu Qi walked up to him, he couldn't help but glance at him sideways, and then said softly: "There are not many people in the world as smart as you."

Dong Chong raised his head and looked directly into Liu Qi's eyes when he heard this, then he smiled softly and said, "There are very few women in this world who are as stunningly beautiful as you."

Liu Qi looked him up and down, then said in a deep voice: "With your character, it would be a pity if you don't practice martial arts."

Dong Chong just smiled, then bowed to Liu Qiyi and said, "Miss Liu, have a safe journey. The headmaster is also a rare and good opponent."

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly brightened: "Have you ever competed with him?"

Dong Chong raised his head slightly and said proudly: "I am not as good as him in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts, but he is not as good as me in fishing!"

With such a mentality, he should indeed be a good fisherman.

Liu Qi stopped talking, his eyes slowly moved from Dong Chong to Liu Xiangxiang who was hiding her head beside him.

After a moment, Liu Xiangxiang raised her head and glanced sideways in the direction of the gate in a daze.

"Xiangxiang, your sister is really scary!"

Dong Chong sighed softly, Liu Xiangxiang turned around, looked at Dong Chong and asked softly: "Mr. Dong, why does my sister have to kill people?"

"She's not killing people." Dong Chong tapped Liu Xiangxiang on the head and then said with a smile, "She's solving a problem that no one has ever solved. Killing people is just a means for her to solve the problem. That's why I say she's scary, because she won't have even the slightest emotional touch for the dead souls under her knife."

Liu Xiangxiang's face became even more confused when she heard this.

Dong Chong turned to look at the old man, the smile on his face instantly faded, and then he asked sternly: "Mr. Lin, who told you to instigate the students to stop Liu Qi?"

Elder Lin looked up and met Dong Chong's stern eyes. His body trembled. He avoided Dong Chong's gaze and argued with trembling beard, "Are we going to let Liu Qi go in from the academy and start a massacre?"

"Stupid, extremely stupid!" Seeing that the old man was still quibbling until now, Dong Chong finally couldn't help but scold.

Dong Chong was about to say something when suddenly his eyes flickered and a familiar figure suddenly stood in front of him.

After he saw who was coming, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Li Jianzhi, what are you doing here?"

"Where is Liu Qi?" Li Jianzhi asked back, with an anxious look on his face.

Dong Chong glanced at the academy gate and said bluntly, "She has already gone in and may be on Danyang Lake now."

"No, I have to go and remind her!" When Li Jianzhi heard that Liu Qi was most likely to have taken a boat to Sihai Villa, he immediately looked panicked, and then hurriedly flashed towards the gate of the academy without waiting for Dong Chong to speak.

Li Jianzhi was very agile and familiar with the layout of the academy. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of the corridor that Dong Chong mentioned.

hold head high--

Li Jianzhi was about to walk into the corridor when his ears suddenly trembled slightly. Then he quickly bent down and saw a slender jade hand almost brushing against his nose. The raging wind from the palm made his cheeks feel like they were being pricked by needles!
Holding back the pain, Li Jianzhi slid a few steps from the ground, then stood up and stood still. The moment he raised his eyes, he saw a woman in ragged clothes and fluffy short hair standing at the entrance of the corridor, with a wine gourd hanging around her waist.

Li Jianzhi's eyes moved slightly, and then he called out softly, "The leader of the Beggars' Sect's Four Seas Branch, Gu Jiu."

"Mr. Li, I wonder where you are going in such a hurry?" The short-haired woman named Gu Jiu asked coldly.

Li Jianzhi's face instantly showed a solemn expression: "Of course I want to expose the conspiracy of your Beggars' Sect. If I am not mistaken, the man who tried to attack Liu Qi with the poisoned wine pot yesterday is the father of Fei Chao, the deputy leader of the Yongquan branch of your Beggars' Sect."

Although Gu Jiu remained expressionless upon hearing this, a flash of strange color flashed across his eyes for a moment.

Li Jianzhi keenly caught the strange look in Gu Jiu's eyes, and then continued: "Fei Chao was injured by Liu Qi because he instigated people in the martial arts world to frame Liu Qi in Yongquan Prefecture, so you took advantage of his father who was bent on revenge."

"Are you finished?" Gu Jiu asked in a deep voice.

Li Jianzhi's pupils suddenly shrank and the hairs on his back stood up!

He had already felt the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Jiu.

"When you're done, you can die!"

As soon as Gu Jiu finished speaking, he raised his palm and hit Li Jianzhi in the face.
