Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 162: It’s not the case that needs to be handled, it’s the sky that needs to be turned upside down (th update, please give me a monthly ticket)
Sun Yanwan used his Qinggong skills to rush out of the room and saw Shi Si holding a sword in the air, confronting a fat old man in a red robe from a distance.

The red-robed old man paid no attention to the prodigy from Shaochan Temple. He stared at Sun Yanwan and said softly, "Sun boy, you've made enough trouble."

Sun Yanwan was startled and asked, "Are you a eunuch?"

The red-robed old man was so angry that his nose almost twisted. He was indeed the chief eunuch in the palace, but as one of the six chief stewards in the palace, who would dare to address him like that to his face? He couldn't help but curse, "You little bastard, you're exposing my shortcomings!"

Sun Yanwan quickly covered her mouth, bowed deeply, and was very sincere.

The red-robed old man continued angrily, "Someone told me to pass on a message. You are a scholar, why don't you study hard and prepare for the Spring Examination instead of getting involved in vendettas?"

"And they even came up with this Xuan Huang Tongzi to scam people out of money!"

"Really messing around."

"Let's put this matter of Guanxin Sect to an end here. If you have any grudges, please go and settle them in the martial arts world. Don't make a scene in Luojing."

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "If we continue investigating, we'll eventually find Concubine Yun."

"This is no longer permitted by the system of Dalang. I really don't intend to investigate further."

He replied respectfully, "I will follow the instructions of my senior."

Seeing that he was quite obedient and not as rebellious as he had imagined, the red-robed old man calmed down a bit. He snorted and said, "Someone wants to take away your fame, but someone else has saved you. You must remember this."

The fat body of the old man in red robe floated up like a red cloud. His lightness skill was so superb that it was not inferior to any lightness skill master Sun Yanwan had ever seen.

Of course, he had rarely seen anyone above the Grandmaster level perform Qinggong.

When he first met Zhang Yuanqiao, Grandmaster Zhang performed a trick of sitting in mid-air. The level of his lightness skill was too high to be compared with anyone else.

The fat old man in the red robe disappeared in a flash. Shi Si landed beside Sun Yanwan and whispered, "We really can't keep this up. We've even alarmed the Grandmasters in the palace."

"For the first time, Aunt Shi feels that she may not be able to protect you."

Sun Yanwan sighed. He knew that what he should handle was not the case, but to turn the world upside down!
But I really don't have the ability to do it, so I can only continue to stay low and wait for the future.

Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi had already appeared, and were shocked to see the old man in red moving around with ease.

Ding Feng doesn't live here, and neither do Sun Lingdie, Namco and Shi Si.

After all, Shi Si was in the Innate Realm and had a keen sense of perception. She noticed from afar that Sun Yanwan was in danger and rushed over in a hurry, but she only had time to confront the fat old man in red from a distance.

Wu Zhi whispered, "I've already tracked down the perpetrators of several escort robberies. This case can indeed be closed."

Seeing the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lu Shuangfeng laughed and said, "I've been really busy lately. How about we go to Fanlou for a drink tomorrow?"

Sun Yanwan coughed and didn't dare to agree, because Shi Si was right next to her!
Last time, Shi Si had said to him, "You're so young, but you haven't learned much. I heard you've been coming to Fanlou quite often lately."

He had no interest in going to Fanlou and did not want to upset Shi Si.

Shi Si smiled slightly and said, "Go!"

"Yes, it's time to relax a bit."

Lu Shuangfeng let out a long roar and did seven or eight somersaults in a row. It was obvious that he was very happy.

He has been playing blind man these days and wants to change his taste.

This world's cultural atmosphere differed from Earth's. Because monks and Taoists truly cultivated and possessed powerful martial arts, they suppressed other cultures and didn't develop things like fortune-telling or divination. While this was a well-established tactic, repetitive and repetitive, martial artists were illiterate, especially the blind Taoist priests of the Guanxin Sect. Even with their best efforts, they could only memorize one or two interpretations of the divination sticks in just a few days, forced into their roles.

Otherwise, some people would be willing to solve the problem, while others would not.

They really didn't memorize it.

However, precisely because of this, the blind Taoist priests seemed unfathomable and the number of people coming to Huangyun Temple for interpretation of their fortunes increased in an endless stream.

The next morning, Lu Shuangfeng became excited and urged Lao Qingshan to prepare the carriage early.

He hadn't been to Fanlou for a long time. Along the way, he beat the shaft of the carriage, sang loudly, and was extremely happy.

When the group arrived at Fanlou, Gu Tuoniang, who always came to visit, did not come. She only sent Qin Qiyun to invite Shi Si.

Sun Yanwan didn't understand why Gu Tuoniang suddenly invited Aunt Shi, but there was no reason to stop her. She could only watch with curiosity as Qin Qiyun led Aunt Shi away.

Shi Si was actually very curious as to why this famous lady Gu suddenly wanted to talk to her alone. When she followed Qin Qiyun to a quiet room, she saw two pieces of calligraphy hanging in the room, both of which were written by Sun Yanwan that day.

Gu Tuoniang looked at one of the paintings with a look of reluctance. Seeing Shi Si coming over, she smiled slightly and said, "This one is for Gu Tuoniang. It's a birthday gift from my stinky little brother, so I'll keep it."

"This other painting wasn't given to me. I've been admiring it for so many days, it's time to return it to its original owner."

Shi Si looked up and saw the words "graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon... as if light clouds cover the moon, as if drifting like snowflakes blown by the wind..." and said, "These are all birthday gifts for you, how can you say they are for me?"

Gu Tuoniang said calmly, "When I saw you in the room that day, I knew I didn't lose to those two girls, I just lost to you."

"Although I can sing and dance a little, he never wants to watch. Besides, Gu Tuo's mother doesn't know any martial arts. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn't jump half a foot high. How can she be as graceful as a startled swan or as graceful as a swimming dragon?"

"It is as if a light cloud covers the moon, and it flutters like snowflakes blown by the wind..."

"I have a lot of gold and silver on my head, and a lot of jewelry. How can there be light clouds covering the moon, or flowing wind blowing back the snow?"

"Although Gu Tuo Niang is not very talented in writing, she knows that the difference between the two articles is as great as the sun and the moon!"

"There are those who are as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a flying dragon. Why did he write about the immortal riding a colorful phoenix, descending from Xiaofan Tower yesterday, the peach trees for three thousand years, and the Lingchun trees for five hundred years?"

"What's more, if this calligraphy was written for me..."

"Why didn't you give Gu Tuoniang the four characters?"

Gu Tuoniang looked at the calligraphy and said calmly, "I only took one look and knew that he said it was a gift for me, but it was actually written for Master Fairy."

"It's just that he... doesn't dare to give it to you."

These words left Shi Si speechless.

Just as Gu Tuoniang said, this calligraphy was written for her and no one else.

Gu Tuo's mother took down the calligraphy on the wall, rolled it up carefully, and handed it to Shi Si, saying softly, "Sister, please wait a few more years until he grows up."

Shi Si collected the scroll, put it in her sleeve, and left.

Gu Tuoniang was stunned for a while, then took out another piece of calligraphy from the box, still half of "The Goddess of Luo River", and murmured, "I have achieved this level."

"Master Fairy shouldn't mind. I copied that calligraphy!"
