Chapter 426: Old Grudges

Gu Qingyi handed over Caidie's body and the hidden weapon she used to Yite.

The Hu man's face showed surprise, "You said she is the daughter of Jade-Broken Knife Tie Zheng and Ice Demon Qiu Su Su?"

"Has Yi Zuo Shi also heard of these two people?" Malu asked.

Yi Te nodded, "As early as twenty years ago, these two people were famous masters in the martial arts world, but one is good and the other is evil. Qiu Susu's mother was the leader of the Xuanyin Sect. She was besieged and killed by the righteous martial arts world, and the Xuanyin Sect was also destroyed.

"But who knew that she left behind a daughter, who was also a rare martial arts genius. Qiu Susu practiced the Xuanyin Gong until she was perfected before she came out to travel the world to avenge her mother.

"Many sect elders and leaders were defeated by her and killed by her. For a while, everyone in the martial arts world was in danger. Finally, a blacksmith apprentice named Tie Zheng stood up and defeated her with an unsharpened iron knife. After that earth-shattering battle, the two disappeared together."

"However, the friends and families of the upright masters who were killed by Qiu Susu did not give up looking for her. Deputy Sect Leader Xu was one of them. His close friend Judge Huo died at the hands of Qiu Susu.

"Deputy Sect Master Xu and a group of fellow martial artists later found the valley outside where Qiu Susu lived in seclusion. However, they did not encounter the Ice Demon but were stopped by a masked man. The masked man competed with Deputy Sect Master Xu and his group, but no one could survive more than three rounds.

"He alone defeated all the martial artists who came to seek revenge, but he didn't kill them. In the end, only Deputy Sect Leader Xu was left. Deputy Sect Leader Xu felt that he was doomed to fail, but he was unwilling to retreat.

"So he went up to fight with that person, but he never expected that he didn't play any self-defense cards in the next few rounds, and was finally beaten to death by Deputy Sect Master Xu. Before he died, he told Sect Master Xu that he hoped to end this feud with his death.

"Deputy Sect Master Xu then realized that the man had intended to die and had not tried his best. Unfortunately, by the time he realized this, it was too late. After the man died, Deputy Sect Master Xu stepped forward and removed the veil from his face, only to find that he was Tie Zheng, the Jade-Broken Blade who had saved the martial arts world all those years ago."

"I found out that I had accidentally killed Deputy Sect Leader Tie Zhengxu and felt remorseful. I also remembered Tie Zheng's last plea before his death, so I didn't go into the valley to look for the Ice Demon again."

"But I didn't expect that five years later, the Ice Demon would suddenly come to the door and seek revenge for Tie Zheng. It was then that Deputy Sect Leader Xu learned that Tie Zheng and Qiu Susu were actually married.

"The two of them had a mutual sympathy for each other because of the battle they had fought that year. However, since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. They also knew that this relationship was too shocking, so they retired from the world together and quietly found a valley to live in seclusion.

"But I didn't expect that they would be found. Qiu Susu then killed Deputy Sect Master Xu's eldest disciple. Deputy Sect Master Xu was about to die on the spot. Sect Master Li happened to pass by nearby and heard the fighting in the yard. He came in to investigate out of curiosity, and happened to see the Ice Demon killing people.

"So Sect Master Li and Deputy Sect Master Xu joined forces, and with their combined strength, they managed to kill Qiu Susu in the end. Deputy Sect Master Xu also joined our Tianlong Sect because of Sect Master Li's life-saving grace.

"I just didn't expect that Qiu Susu and Tie Zheng had a daughter. I guess the reason why the Ice Demon came to seek revenge on Deputy Sect Master Xu five years later was to raise a daughter. Sigh."

Gu Qingyi was also stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that there was such a tortuous past behind Caidie's murder of Deputy Sect Leader Xu.

"So Miss Caidie's life story is indeed quite tragic."

"This is the martial arts world. It is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, gratitude from resentment. How many people in this world can escape or hide from it?"

After expressing his feelings, Yi Te said to Gu Qingyi, "Gu Shenbu, you found the real murderer who killed Deputy Sect Leader Xu. We, the entire Tianlong Sect, will remember this great favor. From now on, we will not refuse any mission you give us.

After a pause, he continued, "In addition, I have two thousand taels of gold to give to you."

Gu Qingyi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she paused and blushed, hesitating, "Then, then I would like to thank Yi Zuoshi."

"You're welcome, Detective Gu. If you need anything, just ask." "Well, I won't be polite."

"Hmm?" It was just a casual remark, but he didn't expect Gu Qingyi to actually have a request. However, he reacted quickly and continued, "Detective Gu, please go ahead."

"I, I also want some secret medicine, preferably one that is unique to the Tianlong Sect, so that the corresponding value can be deducted from the two thousand taels of gold."

"Captain Gu wants the secret medicine of my Tianlong Sect?"

Yi Te pondered for a while, slapped his head, and said suddenly, "I understand, you want it for Young Master Ma, but I didn't think it through. He is the disciple of Deputy Sect Master Xu, and practicing Deputy Sect Master Xu's martial arts does require secret medicine.

“However, the Xianyun Zhuyue Gong is the Xu family’s magical skill. Apart from Young Hero Ma, Deputy Sect Master Xu did not pass this martial art to a third person. Therefore, our Tianlong Sect does not have the corresponding secret medicine. However, we have stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials to assist in the cultivation of several martial arts that Deputy Sect Master Xu later created.

"How about this, I'll go ask Madam Xu for you to see if there are any extra secret medicines in Deputy Sect Leader Xu's house. I can also give you some secret medicines for practicing other martial arts, and I'll also pass on the secret formulas for practicing the martial arts to you.

"Ah?" Malu was stunned.

However, Yi Te misunderstood and patted Ma Lu on the shoulder again, "You are the only disciple of Deputy Sect Master Xu, so it is only natural for you to learn his martial arts."

"Well, there's no need for the formula or anything like that," Malu said hurriedly, "Yi Zuoshi can give me the secret book, and I can practice it myself."

With the Dragon Capture Skill as his accomplishment, he didn't want to recite another difficult classical Chinese text for another day.

Ite said, "Reading secret manuals is definitely not as fast as learning from a master. Moreover, in order to prevent our martial arts from being learned by outsiders, few sects would write down secret manuals. They are all passed down orally."

"It's mainly because I have other things to do," Malu hurriedly found another excuse, "Investigator Gu and I are planning to go to the Beggars' Sect again later to see if we can resolve the feud between the two sects, or at least buy some time to find the mastermind behind it."

"Then I can give you the secret medicine you need for cultivation first, and it won't be too late to learn the formula when you have time."

"Okay, it's a deal then."

Malu agreed immediately. After all, it was still unclear whether there would be a Tianlongmen in the future, so he decided to get the secret medicine first. As for the martial arts, he could put it off for later.

I don’t know if it’s because the Tianlong Sect is now in a critical moment of life and death, but Ite was particularly generous and gave Malu a full 400 kilograms and 20 kilograms of secret medicine, which is equivalent to contracting all the medicinal materials he had cultivated in this life.

There are even some rare species with 4 or even 5 stars.

This is also the first time that Malu has obtained such rare food ingredients in this plane. You know, if you go to the medicine shop opened by Baicaomen to buy it, one penny will probably cost dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.

It may not be available for purchase.

In addition to these secret medicines, Ite also gave Gu Qingyi the two thousand taels of gold that he had promised before.
