C366 This Trip Was Not a Fluke
Yan Hao stood up and said with a smile, "Young master's heart is hanging on a beautiful lady. How dare I force you to stay? Please, young master!"
Du Qi didn't say anything else. After bidding farewell to Ouyang Yutang, he returned to the main hall with Yan Hao. Looh Miaoer and the others were really impatient when they saw him. They were clamoring to look for Du Qi. However, due to Zuo Santong and the other two old men in black, they didn't dare to act rashly. At this moment, they saw Du Qi return to them unharmed. The girls couldn't help being excited, and some of them couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
After bidding farewell to Yan Hao and the others, Du Qi and Looh Miaoer happily rushed out of Yan Mansion's courtyard. Along the way, Du Qi often comforted the girls who had been worrying about him for a long time, and the girls were already satisfied when they saw that Du Qi had returned safely. At this moment, Du Qi comforted them warmly, and they were naturally delighted in their hearts. Along the way... He was pointing and laughing at the same time. It was so satisfying.
While they were talking and laughing, Du Qi and the others had just turned a street when they suddenly saw an old man in the side street waving at them and rushing over. He even shouted from afar, "Young Master Du, my old master invites you in!"
Perhaps because of the painful wait and worry in Yan Mansion's courtyard, Ma Yuxiao stared at Old Cang, who had stopped more than 20 feet away from them, and said vigilantly, "Who is your family's old master? Why did he invite us?"
Du Qi saw that Old Cang's face seemed to be kind, but he could not remember where he had seen him before. Of course, he did not know who the old master he was talking about was, so he stopped and waited for Old Cang's reaction.
Old Cang said respectfully, "My family's old master's surname is Lu, he and young master know each other..."
Du Qi suddenly remembered that Old Cang was Lu Bing's servant. A day ago, when he was talking to Mending in front of Lu Bing's mansion, he saw Old Cang walking towards the door from the inside. At that time, because he had no relationship with them, Old Cang had already left before he could even get close to them. He thought that it was because he had seen Du Qi before, which was why Lu Bing asked him to wait here. In order to avoid revealing his relationship with Chen Bing and causing unnecessary trouble, he interrupted Old Cang and said, "Since that's the case, Old Uncle, please lead the way!"
Old Cang hurriedly said respectfully, "I don't deserve to be called Young Master. This old man's surname is also Lu. Young Master can just call me Lu. Young Master, please follow me." After saying that, Lu made an inviting gesture to Du Qi and the others, then turned around and led the way.
Du Qi saw that not only did Lu possess profound martial arts, but he also spoke in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. No wonder Lu Bing asked him to wait for him here alone. As he thought about it, he could not help but have a thought. He smiled and asked, "Uncle, do you know why your old master is looking for me?"
Lu still said respectfully, "From the old master's words, it seems that there is something important to tell young master. As for what exactly it is, this old man doesn't know. After young master sees my old master, he will naturally know."
Perhaps it was because he had nothing to do, Du Qi asked again, "Uncle must have been in the Lu Manor for some time, right?"
Lu said, "This old man was sold into the Lu Manor since he was young. He is an old family member of the Lu Manor, hehe!"
Du Qi said again, "I heard that Uncle often walks in the Pugilistic World. He must be well-versed in the matters of the Pugilistic World, right?"
Lu seemed to be proud and said, "This little old man was only ordered to inquire about some news outside and pass on some information. Naturally, he knows a little about the matters of the martial arts world."
Du Qi smiled and said, "This kid just came to the capital to make a fool of himself. These few days, I don't know if he has caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, he was saved by a benefactor. Every time, he could turn misfortune into danger. In order to avoid any more problems that might arise in the future, can I ask you a few questions? "
Lu said straightforwardly, "Young Master, please speak frankly. This old man will definitely tell you everything he knows. I will tell you everything I know!"
Du Qi said, "Do you know where the headquarters of Wind Cloud Association, which was known as the largest gang in the martial world a few years ago, is located?"
Lu said, "The headquarters of Wind Cloud Association has always been very secretive. Even if this old man said it, Young Master might not be able to find it even if he is unfamiliar with this place. How about this old man lead Young Master to the headquarters when he is ready?"
Du Qi said, "I dare not trouble you, Uncle. This kid does not want to go personally. He just wants to send a challenge letter to the Sect Master of the Wind Cloud Association to challenge!"
Lu said, "So that's how it is. Feng Yun Villa, which is located nine miles away from the front gate, is where the headquarters of Wind Cloud Association is located. Young master only needs to find a random street thug to deliver the letter smoothly."
Du Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, old uncle! May I ask where the headquarters of the Qianqiu Association is located?"
Lu said, "That Qianqiu Association has always been elusive, and their headquarters is even more secretive. According to the rumors in the Pugilistic World, it should be nearby, but we don't know the exact location."
As they spoke, they were just about to pass by a small inn when it was nearly five o'clock. It was precisely the peak time for guests to enter and exit, and besides occasional passers-by, there were absolutely no guests entering and leaving this inn. Du Qi looked in through the entrance of the inn and saw that besides a few attendants and the manager at the counter, there were practically no guest activities inside. Those few workers were lazing all over the inn, and they didn't even have the mood to look at the door. Obviously, the business of this inn wasn't good.
Seeing this, Du Qi suddenly approached Lu and said in a low voice, "Uncle, where is your old master?"
Lu pointed in front of him and said with a smile, "In the tea shop ahead."
Du Qi did not seem to see the tea shop Lu was talking about. He moved closer to Lu and asked, "Where is he?"
Lu still pointed to the front and said, "Here, at the corner of the street ahead."
Du Qi seemed to be focused on looking in front of him and did not pay attention to his feet. He suddenly kicked on a protruding stone platform and his entire body immediately rushed towards Lu.
Lu did not worry about such an accident. Just as he was about to reach out to support Du Qi, he suddenly felt his armpits go numb and he lost all his strength. He was firmly supported by Du Qi and dragged to the inn. Lu immediately understood that he had fallen into Du Qi's trap. He opened his mouth and was about to call out. Du Qi sealed his mute acupoint again. Du Qi laughed and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I won't fall!"
Almost as if he was carrying Lu, Du Qi quickly ran to the inn and called out in a low voice, "Old uncle, what's wrong with you? Uncle, wake up, wake up..."
Maybe it was because the old man did not respond, but Du Qi scolded him again, "I told you not to drink more, but you did not listen. Now that you are so drunk that you are unconscious, you still need me to serve you. As he spoke, Du Qi had already flashed into the inn and shouted, "Manager, this old family member of mine is drunk. Quickly find a clean upstairs room and let him rest."
The girls who hurriedly followed in also shouted," Waiter, quickly get me a clean upper room! "
When the innkeeper saw that so many guests had rushed in at the same time, he was instantly delighted and did not have the leisure to care about anything else. He hurriedly instructed the staff to lead everyone to look at the rooms and prepare dinner for the guests.
After sending the staff away, the girls carried Du Qi into the room. Du Qi threw Lu on the ground in front of the bed. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard a deafening Buddhist proclamation, "Amitabha!"
