Chapter 2

"…" Gu Wuyou was speechless for a moment.

Blind, gentle and courteous, willing to help others, dignified and elegant appearance, gentle and considerate, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. Most importantly, he was called Hua Manlou.

… Wasn't that Hua Manlou from "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"???

Although Gu Wuyou had almost forgotten the plot of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", he still remembered those few famous friends of Lu Xiaofeng!

Gu Wuyou was still in disbelief. "Are you the Seven Sons of the Hua Family, Hua Manlou?"

Hua Manlou smiled and nodded. "Yes, I am."

This was actually the real Lu Xiaofeng's world!

Gu Wuyou finally knew where he had been brought to by the Miracle Doctor System.

He composed himself and slowly exhaled. But on second thought, he still remembered a bit of Lu Xiaofeng's plot. He could roughly tell who he could befriend and who was kind on the outside but evil on the inside. This was simply a golden finger!

Thinking of this, Gu Wuyou became happy again.

As sharp as Hua Manlou was, of course, he had already noticed the change in Gu Wuyou's heart. But since he had finally let it go, Hua Manlou considerately did not mention it again. Instead, he said, "My Guan Daozhang doesn't seem to be familiar with certain things, do you not often leave the sect?"

He had actually guessed it.

Gu Wuyou was slightly surprised, not knowing which sentence he had said earlier had let him see through it.

But since the other party had already guessed it, Gu Wuyou did not intend to beat around the bush. Instead, he went along with Hua Manlou's words and said, "That's right, this is my first time leaving the mountain."

Hua Manlou asked, "Did you learn from Wudang, Emei, or …"

Gu Wuyou shook his head. "My sect is called Chunyang. Although it has a long history, it has always been hidden in the mountains and does not care about worldly affairs. That is why Master Hua has probably not heard of it."

"So there is such a hidden sect." Hua Manlou was a little surprised. Then, he asked, "Then why did you leave the mountain?"

Gu Wuyou followed the train of thought that he had just thought of and made up a story. "As the Eldest Brother of the sect, Master ordered me to leave the mountain to gain experience so that when I return, I can teach my teachers and brothers." He paused for a while and said, "I know Master Hua's character is outstanding, that is why I told you everything. I hope you will not tell others."

Hua Manlou could not help but laugh. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but in the future, it is best that you do not do this kind of thing again."

In his opinion, Gu Wuyou had revealed such a secret to a person that he had only known for half an hour. It was obvious that he had a pure heart. However, it also proved that he really did not have any experience in Jianghu. If it was someone else here today, it would not take long for the matter of the sect to be exposed.

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou became even more worried.

So, he asked, "What do you plan to do after arriving in Jinling?"

Gu Wuyou said, "… Probably, open a medical center."

Hua Manlou was taken aback again. "So the Taoist priest also knows medicine?"

Gu Wuyou nodded reservedly. "A little." He would advise people to drink more hot water.

"It is always good to have a skill." Hua Manlou nodded in agreement and said, "But you have to be careful when you do things. Jianghu is not as peaceful as a sect …"

Before he could finish speaking, he stopped on his own. Gu Wuyou also looked ahead with him. Sure enough, within one or two breaths, a group of people dressed as bandits blocked their way. Gu Wuyou roughly counted, there were about seven or eight of them. They were all holding kitchen knives in their hands. It seemed that they did not come with good intentions.

However, he and Hua Manlou were skilled and bold. They were not afraid at all. Hua Manlou even smiled as usual. "What brings you here in such a hurry?"

The veins on the bandit leader's forehead bulged. He shouted, "We are robbing!"

Ordinary people would have been scared by such a lineup and obediently took out their money. However, Gu Wuyou believed that he was skilled in martial arts and was not afraid of anything. Instead, he noticed that the bandit leader looked rough when he spoke, but upon closer inspection, his hand holding the knife was trembling. He seemed to be putting on a strong front.

He had some sense of propriety in his heart. He lowered his voice and said, "Get out of the way."

The bandit leader raised his knife and rushed at him. "What are you pretending for? Both of you, hand over your money! "

Gu Wuyou did not say anything else. He slowly reached out and pulled out the Profound Finger from his back.

Hua Manlou thought that he was really angry and hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Taoist priest …"

However, before he could finish his words, Gu Wuyou had already swung the long sword in his hand!

The bandits only saw a silver light coming towards them. Before they could react, they suddenly fell down one by one.

Hua Manlou's face turned slightly pale. "Taoist Priest Gui Yuan!"

This was the first time he had called Gu Wuyou this way. Gu Wuyou knew that he loved life and did not want to see anyone die in front of him. Therefore, he shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry."

Hua Manlou wanted to say something but stopped. Suddenly, he felt something and his slightly furrowed brows calmed down.

The few bandits' groans of pain sounded one after another.

It was only then that they realized that they had encountered a tough opponent. The bandit leader's face turned pale. He ignored the fact that his legs were stabbed and forced himself to kneel. He hurriedly bowed to Gu Wuyou and said, "We have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. We have offended Taoist priest. Please forgive us for the sake of our families!"

Hua Manlou said, "Why did you come out to be a bandit when you know that you have families to take care of?"

The bandit leader's face turned bitter. "It's a drought this year and there's no harvest in the fields. We, we really had no choice but to take the risk and come out to do this. We didn't expect to meet two chivalrous men …"

"Forget it." Gu Wuyou shook his head and reached into his sleeve. He took out an ingot of silver from the System Backpack and threw it into the bandit leader's hand. He softened his voice slightly and said, "Take this to heal your wounds and use the rest to buy some food. Don't come out to do evil again."

"Thank you Taoist priest, thank you Taoist priest!" The bandit leader held the heavy ingot of silver in his hand and his eyes were filled with tears. He pulled the other bandits and kept kowtowing.

"… All of you, get up." This was the first time Gu Wuyou had encountered such a situation and he was not used to it. He seemed to be at a loss.

Although his tone was indifferent, Hua Manlou still noticed his embarrassment. He waved his sleeve at them and the bandits suddenly felt a gentle stream of air rising from under his arm, gently pulling them up from the ground.

"The two of us are still in a hurry. You should hurry back." Gu Wuyou's face was a little hot. He hurriedly said this and hurriedly left.

Hua Manlou could roughly guess his mood. He was slightly amused and sped up with him. After riding for a distance, he smiled and apologized to Gu Wuyou. "I was anxious just now and wronged you."

Gu Wuyou shook his head. He suddenly remembered that Hua Manlou could not see and said, "It's okay. I know you don't want to kill people. I don't want to either."

He was not a Jianghu person born and bred. To let a law-abiding citizen who had lived in a lawful society for 24 years kill people, the psychological barrier was not an ordinary one.

When Gu Wuyou said this, Hua Manlou felt that his temperament was more compatible with his. Moreover, what Gu Wuyou did just now was also very agreeable to his wishes. This made him even more happy.

Hua Manlou said softly, "This place is not far from the small town near Jinling. Those people probably came from here."

Gu Wuyou said, "I see."
