Chapter 383 Encouragement of Education
Malu successfully touched the corpse and withdrew his hand contentedly. He turned to look at Gu Qingyi, only to find that the latter was still in the state of preparing for the final blow.

It wasn't until Malu patted her on the shoulder that she came to her senses and exclaimed, "Ah, I killed someone!"

"That's right, he's just a villain. Congratulations to Detective Gu for getting rid of this evil for the martial arts world." Malu said.

Gu Qingyi blushed when he heard that, and waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I didn't do anything. It was you who broke his body protection technique and beat him down to only 9 points of health. I was just lucky enough to complete the final blow."

"But if it weren't for your attack, we might both have died here today."

Ma Lu was worried that tonight's encounter would be too much of a shock to Gu Qingyi, and that she would back out. What if Gu Qingyi realized after this battle that the martial world was dangerous and that it was safer to stay at home? Then where would he find someone with a divine arrest warrant who could take him on a journey to continue touching corpses happily?

Therefore, Malu decided to treat Gu Qingyi with encouraging education. He would cheer her up whenever he had nothing to do and help her pursue her dreams bravely.

"Ah, is that so?"

Gu Qingyi felt that what Ma Lu said was a bit exaggerated, but it seemed to make some sense. Indeed, when fighting against a master like Yan Wuji, the longer it dragged on, the more variables there would be.

Even though Yan Wuji only has 9 points of health left, who knows if he will have any unused tricks next.

It seems that she did contribute a lot in this battle, and it was her reasoning that initially revealed the identity of the murderer to Yan Wuji.

But she didn't expect that among the people in the last temple, only she, Malu, and Yan Wuji's wife and children survived.

Gu Qingyi had not forgotten Ma Lu's previous life-saving grace, and then he clasped his fists towards him and said, "Brother Ma, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. After this battle, we are friends for life and death. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just let me know."

"Really? Well, I need your help with something."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"I want to investigate the case with you." Malu went straight to the point.

"Eh?" A strange look flashed across Gu Qingyi's face. She thought of many possibilities, but she never expected Malu to make such a request.

But soon her eyes lit up, "Do you like investigating cases too?"

"I like it." Malu said with certainty. How could he not like being able to touch a corpse openly and learn martial arts for free?

Gu Qingyi was immediately excited when he heard this, "Great, then we can communicate more in the future. I left home because I wanted to be a detective, oh no... I left home to join the Ironclad Sect because I wanted to be a detective when I was a child."

"Yeah, I understand." Malu naturally would not expose Gu Qingyi's lie.

"Brother Ma, you want to investigate the case with me? That's exactly what I want." It was a rare opportunity for Gu Qingyi to meet a fellow investigator, and she couldn't help but feel excited. She wished she could start chatting with Ma Lu about some of the latest unsolved cases in the world.

But when she saw the body beside her, she calmed down and couldn't help but sigh.

Before, she had heard her father and several senior brothers and uncles talk about the dangers encountered in investigating cases at home, but most of those dangers were glossed over by them and became embellishments in those tortuous and bizarre cases.

It was not until she went out this time that Gu Qingyi realized what kind of villains they usually dealt with, and she couldn't help but respect the detectives in the Iron Armor Sect a little more. Fortunately, she did not embarrass the Iron Armor Sect this time. Just when Gu Qingyi was still immersed in the feelings of the real world, Ma Lu asked again, "How is the injury on your left arm?"

"Hiss~ It should be just a skin injury, nothing serious." Gu Qingyi said this, but he was already gritting his teeth in pain.

Her original 63 health points now only had 22 points, and she was seriously injured.

Then she took out a jade bottle from her arms, poured out a pill from it, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to Malu first.

“Brother Ma, this is a healing pill specially made by the Iron Clothes Sect. Please help me give it to Aunt Zheng and let her take it.

"Although she is Yan Wuji's wife, we still need to investigate how many of the murders Yan Wuji committed, and I plan to take her and the child to a nearby county town, where she will heal her wounds while waiting for the seniors from the Zhengqi Academy."

Malu had no objection. He had already obtained Yan Wuji's Vajra Subduing Demons Skill, and Aunt Zheng didn't have any decent martial arts, so Malu naturally had no interest in her.

Instead, the corpses on the ground were more attractive, and the millipede touched them one by one.

However, this time it was not for the purpose of obtaining martial arts. He had tried it before. He could only touch a corpse once. The reason why Malu touched it twice was just to touch the valuables on their bodies.

He had just arrived in this dimension, his pockets were empty, and he urgently needed to collect some currency here.

People who travel around the country usually don't carry much cash with them. Malu searched for a long time, but in the end he only found less than twenty taels of silver. He did have quite a few copper coins, almost a thousand coins.

In addition, Yan Wuji had several silver bills on him, which were sewn inside his clothes and were not found during the previous body search.

If the millipard hadn't been careful and touched the hard spot, he would have been unable to hide it.

However, the denominations of the banknotes were not large, three of one hundred taels and two of two hundred taels. I don't know if he was used to spending money lavishly and had no habit of saving money, or if he fled in a hurry this time and didn't have time to take the money with him.

In short, as a well-known demon in the world, the money was indeed less, but Malu still kept it.

Then he remembered that Gu Qingyi seemed to have said that Zhengqi Academy seemed to have issued a bounty for Yan Wuji. Ma Lu thought that he might be able to make some money from this, so he used the sword in his hand to cut off Yan Wuji's head and wrapped it up.

Of course, Malu also did not forget the batch of goods from Xingtong Escort Agency.

Although these are not silver, they are food ingredients and can be put into the collection bag. Once Shen Zhou and others die, these goods will definitely not be delivered. Instead of leaving them here to let a passerby get the benefit, it is better to let the millipedes pack them up and take them to another plane to cook for Lao Wang.

And Malu didn't take it for nothing. After taking it, he dug a hole behind the temple. Now that he has internal strength, it is much easier for him to do such things.

In a short while, a large pit ten feet wide and half a foot deep was dug by him. Afterwards, Malu pushed all the corpses into the pit, filled it with soil, and let them rest in peace, as a way of repaying their kindness.

When he finished doing all this, Gu Qingyi dissolved the healing pill and opened his eyes again.

The secret healing elixir made by the Iron Armor Sect was quite effective. Her internal injuries recovered a lot, but her external injuries were only dealt with hastily. She still had to go to a nearby town to find a doctor for proper treatment.
