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

Chapter 394 His Majesty Appears
Seeing that Liu Shijiu admitted that he was sent by Liu Qi, both Qi Hanwen and Fang Qingluan's expressions suddenly became somewhat complicated. It was not until Shen Zhuang whimpered weakly that Fang Qingluan came to her senses and, with the help of Chunyan, brought him back to the restaurant.

Shen Ying, who was feeling sad because of the sword practice, saw her grandfather being carried in half-dead. She was at a loss at first, but after Liu Shijiu called out to her, she immediately jumped up and then went to greet him with tears in her eyes.

Shen Zhuang's injuries were serious, as he was pierced through the back by the sword energy. Although he did not look seriously injured on the surface, his internal organs were severely damaged, especially since the sword energy pierced through his heart.

"Grandpa..." Although Shen Ying was young, she had experienced many storms after all. At this moment, she did not shout anxiously, but called softly in Shen Zhuang's ear carefully.

Seeing that Grandpa didn't respond, Shen Ying's eyes suddenly flashed with panic, but she still wiped her tears, suppressed her trembling and asked Liu Nineteen: "What happened to Grandpa?"

Liu Nineteen turned his gaze towards Qi Hanwen.

Qi Hanwen shook his head, then nodded slightly at Fang Qingluan, signaling him to put Shen Zhuang down and prepare to use his internal energy to heal him.

Fang Qingluan gently touched Shen Zhuang's pulse and her face suddenly changed. At this moment, she didn't care too much and just put Shen Zhuang down in the lobby. When she placed Shen Zhuang in a cross-legged sitting position, a pair of rough big hands timely pressed on Shen Zhuang's back.

Seeing that Qi Hanwen had already started to heal Shen Zhuang, the people gathered around him retreated tacitly. Liu Shijiu pulled Shen Ying, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, to his side, and then patted her gently on the shoulder.

Chunyan took this opportunity to close the door of the restaurant.

beep, beep...

Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Liu Qi, wearing a moon-white fir skirt, walking slowly towards them.

"Sister Liu!" Shen Ying's eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly.

Liu Qi looked in the direction of the sound, but immediately shifted her gaze away. She first glanced at the two people who were practicing internal energy to heal their injuries, and then stopped at the man in black who was lying on the ground.

The man in black curled up tightly into a ball, with only his eyes moving constantly. After he saw Liu Qi, his eyes stared at the direction where Liu Qi was.

call out!
An invisible energy force shot out from Liu Qi's fingers and hit the man in black.

"Cough cough..." The man in black coughed violently twice, and his body suddenly relaxed.

This scene made Fang Qingluan feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. She immediately prepared herself for the man in black who was about to stand up. Then she glanced at Liu Qi and asked loudly, "Liu Qi, what do you want to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black who had been unable to move just now suddenly stood up. Fang Qingluan saw this and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from her body. She had just seen with her own eyes how difficult this man in black was.

Seeing Fang Qingluan panicking, Liu Qi said calmly, "If he runs away from under my nose, I will give you his life as compensation."

After hearing what Liu Qi said, Fang Qingluan's aura instantly subsided, and then her face darkened and she put away her stance. She just didn't trust Liu Qi's position, but she had never doubted Liu Qi's martial arts.

"Hehehe..." At this time, the man in black looked at Liu Qi and let out a creepy low laugh.

"Have you seen me?" Liu Qi asked calmly.

"In front of the academy, I saw with my own eyes that Shen Lin was killed by you." The man in black said calmly.

Liu Qi: "Are you from the academy?"

The man in black shook his head but did not respond.

Fang Qingluan, who was standing by, could no longer hold back and immediately said, "This man is not a disciple of the academy, but he must have something to do with Madam Zhu's death. I ran into him when I was visiting Madam Zhu's residence at night, and he chased me all the way. If Uncle Qi hadn't rescued me in time, I would have died under his sword!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi glanced at Fang Qingluan, then turned his gaze to look at the man in black with a broken arm again, and asked in a slightly lower tone: "How did Zhu Weitong die?"

“Hahaha…” the man in black raised his head and laughed wantonly, “Didn’t Zhu Weitong die in your hands?”

Liu Qi replied calmly: "When I met Zhu Wei at the bottom of Danyang Lake, he was already dead!"

The black-clothed man's laughter instantly subsided, and then he looked at Liu Qi with trembling eyes: "Are you saying that you saw Zhu Weitong at the bottom of Danyang Lake?"

Liu Qi looked at the man in black who looked a little excited, then nodded slightly.

"No!"

"impossible!"

The man in black seemed very excited. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and calmed down instantly. Then he slowly raised his eyes and stared at Liu Qi: "So, you got the jade sceptre?"

Sure enough, it finally fell on the Nine Cauldrons.

Seeing that his expression had become somewhat crazy, Liu Qi immediately lost interest in communicating with him, so he turned his gaze to look at Shen Zhuang and Qi Hanwen who were recovering from their injuries.

Both of them closed their eyes. Qi Hanwen, who was in charge of the treatment, had a distorted face. It seemed that Shen Zhuang's injury was very troublesome for him.

Liu Qi shook her head. She had already seen that Shen Zhuang's heart was broken, and Qi Hanwen's actions were useless.

As Liu Qi expected, about three or five breaths later, the two people who were healing their injuries tilted their bodies at the same time. Fortunately, Fang Qingluan, Shen Ying and others on the side were watching closely and rushed over to support them before the two fell to the ground.

Qi Hanwen, who was helped up by Fang Qingluan, looked at Shen Zhuang with some regret, then shook his head with a lonely look: "Mr. Shen's heart pulse is broken, I... I can't do anything."

Shen Ying, who was supporting Shen Zhuang, heard Qi Hanwen's sigh from behind her. Her face changed instantly. She subconsciously reached out to take Shen Zhuang's pulse, but after touching it, she withdrew her hand instantly as if she had been electrocuted.

Shen Ying was also a doctor after years of illness, so how could she not know what the four words "heart pulses broken" meant? But she really couldn't accept it in her heart. The last relative still alive in her eyes was about to leave her!

"Grandpa..." Shen Ying kept calling out in a crying voice, and Shen Zhuang's tightly closed eyes actually trembled slightly.

Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Shen Zhuang slowly opened his eyes. When he looked around and saw Liu Qi, his originally furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and then he said weakly: "It was you, Miss Liu, who saved me again."

Liu Qi shook his head, glanced in the direction of Qi Hanwen and Fang Qingluan, and then responded calmly: "Thank them if you want to thank them."

Shen Zhuang's face was abnormally red, which was obviously a sign of a last burst of energy. He glanced at Shen Ying beside him with some reluctance, and then said to Liu Qi hurriedly: "Liang'er was harmed by someone, and the reason was not his fault, but my poor daughter-in-law discovered a big scandal... ahem..."

Shen Zhuang coughed violently twice, then held Shen Ying's wrist tightly, and continued with a strong breath: "Madam Zhu... and... Your Majesty... had an affair, and they... gave birth to a... child!"

As the last word came out of his mouth with difficulty, Shen Zhuang's head, which had been raised high, collapsed with a bang, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated...

Seeing this, Liu Qi quietly stretched out his hand, and a stream of energy from his fingers hit Shen Ying's shoulder, and Shen Ying fell on Shen Zhuang.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, but Liu Jiujiu was the first to react. She quickly stepped forward and picked up Shen Ying, then looked at Liu Qi deeply, and then carried Shen Ying upstairs. After Liu Qi saw Liu Jiujiu off, he looked at Chunyan at the door and whispered, "Take Mr. Shen's body downstairs, wash him well and change him into new clothes, and then send someone to buy a good coffin."

Chunyan nodded immediately: "I'll do it right away!"

After a while, Chunyan took Shen Zhuang's body away from the hall. At this time, there were only four people left in the hall.

Liu Qi, Qi Hanwen, Fang Qingluan, and the man in black with a broken arm.

Everyone heard clearly what Shen Zhuang said before he died. Although Fang Qingluan also had doubts about Madam Zhu of Sihai Villa, she did not expect that she would commit adultery with someone else behind Zhu Weitong's back and even give birth to a child!
If this was not what Shen Zhuang said before his death, Fang Qingluan would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.

That's Zhu Weitong!
No matter his character, prestige, talent or martial arts, he is impeccable and the best in the world!
Fang Qingluan really couldn't understand why Madam Zhu would abandon such a perfect husband and instead commit adultery with that secretive Lord!

Liu Qi saw Fang Qingluan's dilemma through her expression, and then said, "Miss Fang, you don't have to be too entangled. From the perspective of martial artists like us, Master Zhu is an impeccable match, but don't forget that Madam Zhu is not someone who is obsessed with martial arts."

Fang Qingluan suddenly realized!
She had specially investigated Madam Zhu before. It could be said that Madam Zhu had an absolutely first-class background as her father was the old owner of Sihai Villa. However, Madam Zhu had little interest in reading or practicing martial arts. In Fang Qingluan's eyes, her daily preferences could only be described as vulgar.

After all, she was born into a martial arts family and is the descendant of a great Confucian scholar, and her husband is a leading figure in Confucianism and Taoism today. Despite such a family background, her daily behavior is like that of a spoiled daughter of a merchant family.

But now Fang Qingluan changed her mind and felt that perhaps it was precisely because of this that she did such a puzzling thing.

Liu Qi was not very interested in these gossips. She had only one thought in her mind, that is, the elusive Lord had revealed his fox tail for the first time!

woohoo-

A strong wind suddenly blew outside the door.

Liu Qi's usually calm face finally showed a hint of emotion.

“Clang—”

The Cang Hai Juan Yun Sword at his waist was already tightly grasped in his hand, and the piercing sound of the sword instantly echoed in the hall, making Fang Qingluan and the other two present feel as if their eardrums were about to burst and they felt a sharp pain.

Liu Qi ignored others and stared towards the direction of the gate. Just as the gate was shaking violently with a "clang", her right hand holding the knife suddenly flipped over and then swung the knife towards the door.

boom!
The door of the restaurant burst open, and the red light outside the door instantly dyed her eyes red.

Liu Qi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, but his right hand holding the knife did not hesitate at all, and swung the knife resolutely. The blue-white flashing blade light instantly slashed into the fire.

But the next second, the red light outside the door faded, and a bottomless darkness came in an instant. Before anyone could react, the darkness instantly occupied the lobby.

Liu Qi's eyes were completely dark. Apart from the constant chilliness around her, she couldn't even sense the presence of the other three people.

This scene is too familiar.

The Taiyin Sun-Devouring One of the Seventh Heaven Taiyin lineage!

And the flames outside the door in front were exactly the Six Burning Sky Styles that Xu Huachun had used before!
Liu Qi knew that this time it must be the real person who came!

"Boss Gu, now that we are here, why should we hide ourselves in front of our old friend?" Liu Qi said slowly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a pale air instantly overflowed from under her feet and began to compete with the endless darkness around her. In the end, Liu Qi's murderous intent was more powerful. The white mist slowly spread out, and in a flash, the shape of a lobby appeared in the boundless darkness.

At the same time, Fang Qingluan and Qi Hanwen, with horrified faces, appeared in the white fog one after another.

The two of them first looked at each other, then both lowered their heads to look at the white mist lingering at their feet, and finally looked at Liu Qi who was in the center of the white mist in a daze.

The man in black with a broken arm disappeared.

Liu Qi didn't get a response for a long time, so he immediately asked, "Why, Boss Gu came here today for his son?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the darkness receded like the tide.

Liu Qi suddenly looked towards the gate, only to see a familiar figure suddenly appear.

Gu Liancheng put his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Qi with disdain. After a moment, he finally said, "Liu Qi, you are indeed my biggest worry!"

Liu Qi looked at Gu Liancheng, whose temperament was obviously different from before, and then said softly: "Is it really you?"

Gu Liancheng asked in a deep voice: "When did you start to doubt me?"

Liu Qi replied seriously, "It was Jiang Xuanyun who reminded me at the mass grave. He said that your reputation as the Nine-Seeing Dragon is indeed well-deserved. What he meant was that you, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, have many more true sides that we haven't seen yet!"

In addition to what Shen Zhuang said just now, and the fact that Madam Zhu died violently under Liu Qi's nose at Sihai Villa, under that situation, the only one who could have hidden the incident from Liu Qi was Gu Liancheng.

Gu Liancheng fell into a brief silence after hearing this.

Then he said slowly: "I underestimated this old man."

"Hahahaha..." A hearty laugh arose at the right time.

On the eaves directly opposite the restaurant, Jiang Xuanyun, wearing a coarse Taoist robe, descended from the sky. He smiled at Gu Liancheng who was standing at the door of the restaurant and said, "It is my great honor to be praised by Your Excellency."

Despite being attacked from both sides by two great masters of the time, Gu Liancheng seemed very calm.

He even only glanced at Jiang Xuanyun behind him, and then said in a proud tone: "If you fight with me now, the only one who will benefit in the end is Xiao Qifeng!"

hum-

Liu Qi suddenly stretched out two fingers of his right hand while holding the knife and lightly tapped the edge of the handle. Immediately, the blade made a slight clanging sound.

"Who cares!" Liu Qi said so, then raised his stern eyes and stared at Gu Liancheng.

"You have no say today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the door.
