Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 73: I will give you three lashes as a small punishment and a big warning, and cut off one of your feet as a warning (one more chapter, please read it later)
When everyone in the courtyard heard this, Mu Dao Ren and Gu Song Jushi deeply felt the boy's arrogance, while Shi Xiuxue's clear eyes showed a trace of fluctuation. From the tone of his voice, she felt a bit of a familiar temperament.

Hua Manlou was afraid that his brother would say something inappropriate again, so he walked over and raised his hand to signal Mu Dao Ren and Gu Song Jushi to go first.

After Shi Xiuxue entered the Zen room, she whispered to the young man in red:
"Be careful with your words, and be careful not to fall. I'll bring out some vegetarian food later."

"You are truly my good brother." The young man in red waved his hand.
"You should come down the mountain with me and eat together later."

Hua Manlou sighed softly, walked into the Zen room, lifted the bamboo curtain, and stood there motionless like the three people who had just entered.

I saw that the vegetarian dishes had been placed on the table, but someone was eating them heartily. Not only did he not do any incense or bathing, his body was also covered in mud and he exuded a strong smell of sweat.

Master Bitter Melon not only did not despise him, but served him attentively and took the initiative to pick up food for him.

"What a double standard! When I saw this, I instantly felt that what Mr. Xiaohua said was very accurate."

Mu Daoren sighed:
"He insisted that we take the incense bath, but this man looked like he had just rolled in the mud and didn't care about his rules at all."

"In order to have a vegetarian meal, I changed out of my patched Taoist robe and put on a spotless blue shirt."

Mr. Gusong nodded:

"It's really hypocritical. He invited us but let others eat first."

Master Bitter Melon spoke in a gentle and harmonious voice:
"The monk also heard what Mr. Xiaohua said outside. It's true. He's very hypocritical, but he's only hypocritical towards him."

"Master, please forgive me. I am young and don't know the etiquette." Hua Manlou apologized sincerely.

"It's okay. What you said is the truth." Master Bitter Melon smiled without minding at all.

"Hahaha, I can't blame you entirely." Mu Dao Ren said helplessly:
"Last time, this guy stole two jars of my fifty-year-old daughter's red wine, and I could only stare at him. I was also being hypocritical towards him alone."

Hua Manlou said in great agreement:
"If you meet this person, even if you are a Bodhisattva, you will probably just be hypocritical."

The person who was smelling stinky was Lu Xiaofeng. He said nonchalantly:
"You three can curse as much as you want. The more you curse, the happier I'll eat."

While several people were chatting in the house, a man walked into the yard. He was a very handsome and attractive man, who looked young, about thirty years old.

He was wearing an exquisite and novel robe made of the finest material, and holding a folding fan that looked very valuable.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a young man in red lying on a vine in the courtyard. He was stunned for a moment, then praised him gently and elegantly:

"Little brother, you are very capable."

Zhuang Bu Ran spoke slowly:
"It's very rude to disturb others' peace and quiet. Are you going to say sorry to me?"

After hearing this, Jin Jiuling was stunned again. Although he had retired long ago, he was still known as the best detective in the world.

Among the Six Gates, he is recognized as the best master in the past three hundred years. He is a famous person in any way. Unexpectedly, he met such an overbearing and arrogant young man in the martial arts world.

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, but as if he had thought of something important, he looked very generous:

"I'm sorry, I just thought that you have excellent Qinggong skills and are very suitable for joining the Six Gates to hunt down criminals and thieves."

"Are you blind, or am I? You actually let a blind man arrest a wanted criminal." The young man in red said lazily.
"For a moment, I didn't know whether you were stupid or dumb to say such a brainless thing."

"Little brother, you've gone too far." Jin Jiuling's face turned cold. "I have good intentions, please don't go too far."

"I don't have the bad habit of bullying others. It's you who came to disturb my rest, but you are trying to turn the tables on me." Zhuang Bu Ran said nonchalantly:

"People like you are definitely good at stealing. Cheating and lying are not your strongest suits."

Jin Jiulu's pupils shrank slightly, and he said solemnly:
"Although I have been away from the Six Gates for several years, I was once considered a famous detective. No matter how big or small the case was, as long as it fell into my hands, there was no case that I couldn't solve. How dare you speak so rudely to me..."

Before he could finish his words, Hua Manlou walked out quickly, looking apologetic:
"Boss Jin, I'm sorry, my younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child and doesn't know the rules of the underworld. Please forgive me."

Several other people also came out, and Jin Jiuling's senior brother, Master Kugua, tried to smooth things over:

"Brother, this young layperson is angry because I broke my promise. Please don't be offended."

He turned and looked at the young man in red:

"The monk has already made plans and will prepare a vegetarian feast tonight to make amends for you all."

"You broke your promise first, yet you only planned to prepare one. Are all monks so stingy that they don't even understand the principle of paying ten times the price for a fake?"

When Zhuang Bu Ran finished speaking, Hua Man Lou immediately shouted:
"Little Eight!"

"Well, I don't care whether I eat it or not. I'm a narrow-minded person and I don't mind speculating about others with the darkest thoughts. What if the master spits on the food or drugs it?"

"Flowers fill my heart!"

Hua Manlou could no longer bear it and shouted loudly.

"Alas, Hua Qitong, now you know why I don't like to go out." Zhuang Bu Ran said lightly:
"Once you enter the martial arts world, you can't help but offend some people when you see them."

When everyone heard this, their awkward expressions relaxed slightly, feeling that the young man in red still had some self-awareness. Hua Manlou apologized again:
"Master, Mr. Jin, I'm truly sorry. I've been weak and sickly since childhood, and I've aged prematurely, which has led to my spoiled personality."

Lu Xiaofeng said carelessly:

"Youth is full of energy and lawlessness, and having a pair of eyes on top of your head is just the kind of thing that everyone misses most about their youth. It's perfectly normal."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtyard became much better, and Shi Xiuxue's anxious heart was completely relieved. Just now, she was deeply afraid that a young man in red would suddenly attack her.

It is said that Jin Jiuling is the best martial artist of the Six Gates in the past few hundred years and his martial arts skills are unfathomable, but she does not think that she can be someone's opponent, because no matter how high Jin Jiuling's martial arts skills are, they are still better than her master's.

As the atmosphere relaxed, everyone entered the Zen room, leaving Zhuang Bu Ran lying outside to rest.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng left first, followed by Mu Dao Ren and Gu Song Jushi, and then Jin Jiuling.

Halfway up Mount Jiuhua.

"Hua Qitong, why are you meddling in Lu Xiaofeng's business again?"

"There's a new embroidery thief on the scene. He uses two embroidery needles to embroider one blind man, and he can create seventy or eighty blind men."

Hua Manlou said calmly:

"I'm naturally very curious. I want to know who it is that not only embroidered a group of masters into blind people, but also stole eighteen buckets of pearls from the Pingnan Palace, seventy scrolls of priceless calligraphy and paintings from the Huayuxuan collection, eight hundred thousand taels of silver from Zhenyuan, a batch of red goods from Zhendongbao, and ninety thousand taels of gold leaves from Jinshahe."

"This man committed sixty or seventy major crimes in just one month, and he did them all single-handedly. How could this not arouse great curiosity?"

The young man in red curled his lips:
"Miss Shi, why do you want to go with us?"

"Can I say that I'm curious too?" Shi Xiuxue said hesitantly.

Zhuang Bu Ran's indifferent way:
"Then you should go find Chang Mantian, the first person to be blinded by the Embroidery Thief."

"Judging from your personality, it seems you're planning to go back again." Before Hua Manlou could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young man in red:

"Who said I was going back?"

"You still want to stay outside?" Hua Manlou looked surprised.

"I heard that the world-renowned Ye Gucheng is an instructor at the Pingnan Palace. If there's a theft in the palace, they'll definitely ask him to take charge. I think there should be a chance to witness his unique martial arts skill, 'Flying Fairy from the Sky.'"

"You don't practice swordplay, so where do you get the swordsman's skills from?" Hua Manlou was surprised.

"Just because I don't practice swordplay doesn't mean I don't know swordsmanship." The young man in red coughed.
"I originally intended to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation and misunderstanding."

"I must solemnly remind you that I am a peerless swordsman who has never appeared in this world."

"Xiao Ba, what are you going to do next?" Hua Manlou said seriously.
"People like Baiyun City Lord and Ximen Chuxue have an extraordinary obsession with the way of the sword, and are particularly interested in so-called swordsmen masters."

"Just like you said before, you don't want to be the one to send your brother off to old age."

"Traveling with you, I just don't feel excited. I'll go ahead and wait for you in Guangzhou."

After the young man in red finished speaking, he flew across the sky like a golden goose, reaching a height of eight or nine feet, showing his extraordinary lightness skills.

Hua Manlou didn't bother to show any surprise or uncertainty, and hurriedly shouted:

"Hua Manxin, remember to control your temper. I don't want to keep apologizing to people like today."

Shi Xiuxue said thoughtfully:
"Brother Hua, I think based on the martial arts skills your brother has displayed, you will never have the chance to apologize again."

About half an hour later.

A man in his early thirties, dressed in luxurious clothes, galloped on his horse.

Not far away in the air, a young man in red could be vaguely seen in the clouds.

"After offending Zhuang, he was able to escape unscathed. How could this be possible in the world?"

Zhuang Bu Ran took out a circle of rice paper rolled into a hemp rope from his sleeve. Holding the end of the rope in his hand, the hemp rope and rice paper fell down, turning into a long whip dozens of feet long.

When the long whip is filled with the circulating wind force, it immediately becomes erratic and moves as soon as it touches, all at the will of the mind.

With a loud bang, Jin Jiuling, who was riding a horse, was hit hard on the back by a whip. His skin was torn in an instant, and he screamed in pain and flew out sideways.

Before he could land, there was another explosion and he was whipped on the back. He fell to the other side. There was another explosion and he was whipped on the back again.

When he fell completely to the ground, he let out a shrill scream. His left leg was broken below the knee and a lot of blood gushed out.

Soon, a breeze blew, and a pool of fine sand appeared in front of him. After a while of gathering and dispersing, a line of small words appeared.

"If you walk with your left foot first, I will punish you with three lashes. This is a small punishment, but a big warning. I will cut off one of your feet as a warning."
