Chapter 472: Chapter 14 Li Guanyi Makes His Move Across the World!

Chen Chengbi became excited, almost rushing out like the wind.

The aging yet still dignified and beautiful Gongsun Family Master lifted his teacup, but with a trembling hand, he splashed the water out like a whip that swept past Chen Chengbi. The old man turned around in a flash, like a large bird, lightly touching the flow of water with his feet before spiraling down gracefully.

Gongsun Wuyue, hindered by his innate talent and the distraction of managing the family, had never broken through that layer of barriers in the Martial Arts. He was only at the peak of the Sixth Layer Heaven with formidable Inner Qi, not nearly as far-reaching as Chen Chengbi. But they had shared life-and-death situations in their youth, and the old man still stopped himself.

"What’s wrong, Gongsun?"

Gongsun Wuyue glanced at him, a whole 60 years had passed since their youthful days, yet this old friend was still as impulsive as ever, sometimes even enviable for his current mental state.

In their youth, only the young monk and Chen Chengbi were the highest in Martial Arts among the five friends.

One was resolute and simple, wise yet foolishly appearing; the other was pure and straightforward, comfortable and casual.

He, himself, was inferior.

Seeing that Chen Chengbi seemed not to understand at all, he said helplessly, "Do you know where he is? Zhenbei City is so huge; rushing out hastily, aside from running wildly and shouting on the main roads, who could you possibly find?"

Chen Chengbi paused.

Gongsun Wuyue said, "Just tell me, who are you exactly looking for?"

Old man Chen Chengbi’s white eyebrows lifted, about to boast proudly about Li Guanyi’s matter, but he just opened his mouth when he paused, looking towards Gongsun Feixue, asking suspiciously, "Did you say he just called himself Pharmacist Li?"

Gongsun Feixue, puzzled, nodded.

The old man’s mind turned quickly, immediately raising his hand to cover his mouth, shaking his head repeatedly, shouting, "No, no, I can’t tell you who he is. This lad says his name is Pharmacist Li, which clearly means he’s hiding his identity. I can’t tell."

He covered his mouth.

Clearly because he was eager to show off in front of his old friend, he became impatient.

Yet because he did not want to disclose Li Guanyi’s identity, he covered his mouth, actually breaking into a sweat out of anxiety.

Gongsun Wuyue sighed and said,

"Forget it, forget it, with such a temperament, you wouldn’t want to talk. Sit down."

"Feixue..."

Gongsun Feixue stepped forward, "Grandma, what is it?"

She was not actually Gongsun Wuyue’s biological granddaughter. This remarkable woman of the Gongsun aristocratic family had never married in her life; hence her brother had given his second son to be adopted by her. After the former head of the Gongsun Family passed away, Gongsun Wuyue took over the responsibilities.

Gongsun Wuyue said, "You go and take some of our family’s members, and look for that Pharmacist Taoist Li."

"Yes."

Gongsun Feixue left.

Seeing Chen Chengbi’s frustrated and scratching appearance, Gongsun Wuyue said helplessly, "You know, sit down. If the kid is still in Zhenbei City, he won’t be able to escape. Wen Yuan said you’re like a monkey in a tree, never able to stay put, yet it’s also true."

Chen Chengbi, straightforward as he was, did not argue, merely saying:

"He’s very clever, naturally right."

"It’s just a pity, you two haven’t seen each other for quite a while now."

Gongsun Wuyue didn’t answer.

Chen Chengbi looked at his friend’s sword hanging at his waist, the blade as clear as frost and snow, with a straight edge and naturally possessing a faint chill. Chen Chengbi praised, "This Snow Branch, you still keep it close."

Lingyun Wood.

Snow Branch.

Gongsun Wuyue stroked the long sword, his expression calm, not talking much.

Chen Chengbi picked up the tea and took a big gulp, nonchalantly commenting, "Hey, the swordmanship of the Gongsun Family, which you don’t practice. It’s a pity to pair this mystical weapon with you."

Gongsun Wuyue picked up the sword and tapped it on the old man’s head.

Chen Chengbi wasn’t upset, just laughed loudly.

Gongsun Wuyue said, "He, what did he say when he left..."

Chen Chengbi said, "I don’t know."

"But I really envy him."

"I think his death must have been something he thought about for a long time before he decided for himself."

"A person like him, if he didn’t want to die, no one in the world could make him stay. But if he decided to go, then certainly, he saw something–something that, for him, was worth exchanging his life for."

The old man said:

"Living in this world, for people like us, the phrase ’to die a meaningful death’ is the hardest to achieve."

Gongsun Wuyue gripped the sword, silent for a long time, then said:

"I want to meet, the Sword Master of Lingyun Wood."

"Let’s see that kid..."

......

Li Guanyi had tea and ate steamed buns, then slowly made his way back to the inn.

Li Guanyi left the Qilin at the inn, Shaking Light resting there, while he himself left alone. He still had many things to do, heading to one of the busiest main streets in the bustling Zhenbei City, directly spotting the Xue Family’s Money Shop amidst the throng of people coming and going.

Li Guanyi went to the Xue Family’s Money Shop and used the Xue Family’s secret command.

He was taken to a quiet secret room and served tea, and soon a man about fifty years old with graying temples came quickly, greeted Li Guanyi from a distance with a smile, "Young master, Xue Zhaoji greets you!"

This elder was the main officer of the Xue Family in the Heroic Pass of Zhenbei City.

He was also a direct descendant of the Xue Family, having entered the initial stage of the Five-layered Heaven in Inner Strength, yet no further progress seemed possible. The Fifth Layer was still enough to establish a foothold in Zhenbei City without being underestimated. After some discussion, Xue Zhaoji said, "I don’t know what brings the young master here today?"

"However, there are two letters here for you."

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and said, "I remember, I have a property in Jiangzhou City."
