The Iron Shoes Thief was Song Wencao. After everyone came out of the secret room, the incident finally came to an end.

Since then, the notorious iron shoe thief has truly disappeared.

With his thumb on his chin, Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows towards Number Seven and said, "Hua Manting, when you confronted Song Wencao in the secret room just now, did you hide something in your sleeve?" After a pause, Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand towards No. [-] and continued: "Take it out and have a look, it's not kind to hide it."

No. [-] smiled heartily, raised his sleeves and said: "Brother Lu, you are joking, my sleeves are empty, there is something there, you misread it."

Looking at Hua Manting, whose tone and actions were very frank and seemed very sincere, Lu Xiaofeng was thoughtful: "...Really."

Not intending to tangle with Lu Xiaofeng any more, Number Seven smiled at the two of them and cupped his hands: "Brother Seven, Brother Lu, since the matter has been settled, I'll take my leave first."

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

Watching Hua Manting gradually go away, Lu Xiaofeng who stayed in the same place was still stuck in his own thoughts.Seeing this, Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Why, Lu Xiaofeng, but what doubts have not been resolved?"

"There is no doubt, but, Huamanlou, you know that the rumors in the Jianghu are true."

Interested in what Lu Xiaofeng said, Hua Manlou opened his folding fan and said, "Which rumor is it? It's really rare." Most of the things in the Jianghu are intentionally distorted by others, and there are too few facts that are true.

"It's the one who is said to be more beautiful than Ximen Yuyan."

"The rumor that Manting told us last time? So, Lu Xiaofeng, you have met a real person."

"That's right, that's it. Not long ago, I saw him. Hua Manlou, you would never have guessed that that beauty is a man just like Ximen Yuyan."

These days, men are more beautiful than women, so how do women live?

"Besides, Ximen Yuyan used my promise to ask me to help him find this person."

He is nostalgic for the short time you chase after me, but the beauty avoids him.

Thinking about this, Lu Xiaofeng said sadly: "It's a beauty in red, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to like me, and he can't avoid me."

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's tone, Hua Manlou joked, "Lu Xiaofeng, don't you fall in love with that beauty?"

Taking a deep look at Hua Manlou with mournful eyes, Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer.

Lu Xiaofeng's reaction made Hua Manlou feel that the matter was even more interesting, "Is it right? Also, Lu Xiaofeng, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Wait, the building is full of flowers, can you see it?"

Shaking his head, Hua Manlou laughed and said, "Oh, don't bully me for being blind." The conversation changed, and the topic went back to the beginning: "Does this matter have anything to do with Manting?"

After sighing for Hua Manlou's sensitivity, Lu Xiaofeng said: "I suspect that Hua Manting is that beauty, please don't laugh at me, it's just intuition."

The Iron Shoes Bandit was separated from them by a solid iron fence just now, if Hua Manlou hadn't followed the Iron Shoes Bandit to the other side of the fence, the consequences would have been disastrous.

And the group of them stood on the side of the fence and looked anxiously at the arrogant iron-shoe thief on the opposite side. At this time, Lu Xiaofeng noticed that Hua Manting moved his sleeves, as if he was planning to do something, before he could think about it , Huamanlou jumped out and stopped the iron shoe thief's plot with the crushing force value.

Hua Manting seemed to want to take out something in his sleeve that could also stop the Iron Shoes Thief. This reminded him of silver needles and ice cicadas. These two things could indeed penetrate the fence and directly seriously injure the Iron Shoes Thief.

It's a pity that Huamanlou appeared, and Huamanting didn't have the next move up his sleeve.

Hua Manting is a bit suspicious. Although it is not kind to think of his friend this way, what happened recently is that he is a bit out of his mind and hungry.

"You suspect Manting? Don't you know that Manting's face was destroyed by iron shoe robbers ten years ago along with my eyes?"

"I know, but, it's my gut feeling."

The least likely people are often the most likely.

Shaking his head, Hua Manlou ignored Lu Xiaofeng who was almost dazed, and walked forward.

On second thought, if Lu Xiaofeng's hypothesis is true, and Hua Manting is really the legendary beauty, it means that the poison on the Eighth Brother's face has been cured, and he will only be happy for the Eighth Brother.

The miraculous doctors that my father invited home when I was young also said that the poison on the eighth brother's face was much easier to deal with than his eyes, and it was only because the treatment was delayed that some ugly marks were left.If Manting finds a way to completely heal him, he, the elder brother, can only feel happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

The Iron Shoe Bandit is indeed abominable. Back then, he only saw half of his face under the mask, and his eyes were stabbed blind.Man Ting was already in a coma when he was held hostage by the Iron Shoes Thief. He didn't see his face and saved his eyes, but his face was destroyed. He couldn't understand and forgive such vicious thoughts.

Now that the Iron Shoes Bandit was finally brought to justice, it could be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes.

"You can also help me find Huamanlou, but I don't have a clue now."

"I'm blind, Lu Xiaofeng, even if that beauty passes by me, I still can't recognize him." He has always relied on his ears to identify people, listening to people's voices and the person's steps.

People who have never met before, even if you tell him their appearance, he will not be able to recognize them.Unless, the other party allows him to touch his face.However, this is a bit too rude.

……

After leaving Peach Blossom Fort, No. [-] returned to his new base - the chief helm of Tsing Yi Building.

After washing up, taking off the mask, and putting on the red clothes, No. [-] began to listen to his subordinates report on the important matters of the past month.

After explaining the matter, he secretly said, "Master, after we annexed Tsing Yi Building, there was a rumor in the world."

Squinting his eyes, Number Seven raised his eyebrows.

"What rumors?" He seemed to have been dealing with rumors all these years, although most of them were provoked by himself.

"The Jianghu people in the Central Plains seem to regard us as the Demon Cult, the Eastern Demon Cult alongside the Western Demon Cult."

"What else, that's all?"

No. [-] had already thought of this kind of result when he went to Tsing Yi Building, they who annexed Tsing Yi Building would become a thorn in the side of most people, but he didn't expect to be so twisted as the Demon Sect.

He raised his head and glanced at his master who was frowning slightly, and thought to himself, even Ximen Yuyan is not as good as his master.

That's the power of brain-dead fans.

After considering his words, he secretly said: "They said that you, the leader, are cruel, and most of the followers are tyrannical. They also said that after annexing the Tsingyi Building, they will continue to attack other forces in the Jianghu."

According to this statement, no matter which sect is attacked, the blame can be thrown on the Devil's Cult.

Number Seven almost laughed out of anger. Although he did want to create such a situation in the end, the premise was that he would do it himself, so it would be a little uncomfortable to be pushed to the 'altar' like this.

Someone must have designed it behind the scenes.

Eyes darkened, Number Seven said: "Find out who is behind the scenes promoting the rumors."

"Yes."

Although that person acted as a god assist like Ximen Yuyan, the process was not satisfactory because it was a conspiracy behind his back.He has to 'communicate' with this black hand behind the scenes.

However, after all, he has achieved his desired goal, and he will not go too far.

Besides, maybe this man behind the scenes still has something to use, he just needs to treat him well.

Thinking of this, No. [-] smiled, and said to the dark: "Since the martial arts people call us the Devil's Cult, then we will become a real Demon's Cult. We just need a name, and the scale is already large. Let’s call it a nice name from the Devil’s Cult.”

"The master wants to give the name of the Devil's Cult a solid name?"

"That's right." After a pause, Number Seven continued, "How about we call it the Three Corpse God Cult?"

An Yi: "...Yes."

Although he felt that the name was a bit strange, An Yi still had no objection, although he thought that the name of the Three Corpse God Sect was completely unworthy of his master's prosperous beauty, and he had no habit of refuting his master.They just need to execute the master's order without asking too much.

"Also, master, Yan Tieshan, the head of Guanzhong Jewelry Pavilion, has sent you an invitation."

Taking the invitation card in An Yi's hand to browse, squinting his eyes, Number Seven kept tapping on the armrest with his index finger knuckles, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he lay down on the chair relaxedly, like a dog stretching its limbs. The beautiful cheetah, "Yan Tieshan invited us to his jewelry pavilion to appreciate the treasures. Besides me, he also invited heroes from all walks of life. Tell me, do we want to go?"

"The subordinates don't know, everything is up to the master to decide."

Anyi's answer was expected, which is also the reason why he likes to take Anyi with him - in everything, Anyi will completely follow his will, and he has no rebellious heart.

After closing the invitation and handing it to An Yi, No. [-] said: "Go, of course!" This is a great opportunity to show his strength to the whole Jianghu, Yan Tieshan has a lot of face, and those who can go are all leaders in the Jianghu. He must join in this excitement.

After explaining everything, No. [-] got up and planned to leave, and An Yi followed behind him.

Seeming to have thought of something, No. [-] suddenly turned around and asked, "An Yi, who do you think looks better between me and Mr. Yuyan?"

"Master is nice."

Pleased by An Yi's quick answer, No. [-]'s mood suddenly became better, "Then spread the news that I am better than Ximen Yuyan, and also, call me the leader from now on."

"Yes, Master."

Looking at No. [-] who was laughing wantonly in front of him, he secretly asked, "Master, could it be that you are the beauty that was rumored in the rivers and lakes a while ago?"

Raising his eyebrows, putting on the pure white half-face mask, Number Seven said, "Who knows?"

Although No. [-]'s answer was ambiguous, An Yi was sure that the person was No. [-]. After all, in his eyes, there was no one more beautiful than his master in the world.

……

Leaving the Tsing Yi Building, which should be called the Three Corpse Sect now, on the [-]th, headed to the largest restaurant nearby—this is a good place to inquire about news.

Going up to the second floor of the restaurant, No. [-] found that the restaurant seemed to be very quiet today, and then he noticed a person, a person who behaved very strangely.

The man was dressed in white and was wearing a sword, and his icy temperament seemed to be integrated with the sword, causing the temperature of the whole restaurant to drop a lot.

This person seems to be the root cause of the abnormality of today's restaurant.

From his clothes and demeanor, Seven can easily deduce that he is a pampered person.

However, there was only a stack of boiled eggs and a pot of boiling water in front of him.It is indeed very strange to order hard-boiled eggs in the largest restaurant, maybe there is a cleanliness?

He is an interesting person, with white clothes, a sword, and a cleanliness obsession. Thinking about Lu Xiaofeng's description of him, this person is probably Ximen Chuuxue.

Walking to the man in white, Number Seven sat down opposite him, and the man in white just glanced at him and then looked away, as if the only thing left in the world was the pile of boiled eggs in front of him.

"Your Excellency is Ximen Chuuxue from Wanmei Villa?"

Ximen Chuuxue ignored No. [-], but continued to concentrate on peeling hard-boiled eggs patiently.

Being ignored by Ximen Chuuxue and not caring, Number Seven persisted and said: "If Lu Xiaofeng asks you for help in the future, will you agree to him?"

After hearing the words 'Lu Xiaofeng', Ximen Chuuxue was finally willing to give Number Seven some attention.

"Do you know Lu Xiaofeng?"

Number Seven laughed and said, "Who in the world doesn't know Lu Xiaofeng?"

Seeing that Ximen Chuuxue didn't answer his interest, Qihao poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down, which made Ximen Chuuxue look at him a few more times - this drinking posture is no different from Lu Xiaofeng's, and it seems to be a good drinker people.

This person is probably also Lu Xiaofeng's friend.

After drinking a few cups, No. [-] said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Lu Xiaofeng will probably ask you for help soon. I'm curious whether you will agree, owner."

"If he hangs his beard down for me, I'll say yes."

This sentence is very graphic. No. [-] imagined Lu Xiaofeng without a beard, and couldn't help laughing, "The master's trick is really clever. Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows has become two eyebrows. It's really amazing." high."

Seven makes it up on the inside—if only all four eyebrows were shaved.

After eating the eggs on the plate, and drinking boiled water to rinse his mouth, Ximen Chuixue said, "How did you know that Lu Xiaofeng would ask me for help?" He was still more concerned about his friends' affairs.

"Because he's in trouble."

"Troublesome?" With a sneer, Ximen Chuixue said, "Isn't he still troublesome?"

Number Seven said: "This trouble is neither big nor small, but there are many people and strength is great. Lu Xiaofeng will probably find all the people he knows who can help, and the owner of Ximen Village will probably be one of them."

Seeing the unobvious calluses on Number Seven's hand, Ximen Chuixue said, "You use a sword?"

These are a pair of extremely well-maintained hands, the thin layer of calluses will not affect the touch of the hands to the hilt, and they are also good hands for holding a sword.

Catching the flash of admiration in Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, Number Seven said, "I use a sword, but not often."

Ximen Chuuxue understood, "It can be seen that you are not a person who loves swords, and you don't have a sword. If you concentrate on studying swordsmanship, you will definitely achieve something."

Shaking his head, No. [-] said: "Villa Master Ximen must be a person who loves swords, and the sword never leaves his body. Or, it should be said that you, Master Ximen, are a sword. But I have too many things in my heart, and I can't be the master. You are so sincere and simple, so I generally don’t use swords, so don’t waste them in vain.”

After carefully looking at the man in red sitting across from him, Ximen Chuuxue agreed, "You're right, I can't see that you are still a person who understands swords."

"Knowing the sword is not enough, it's just a little bit of understanding."

Putting down the wine glass, he picked up the jug and drank the wine in one gulp, No. [-] said: "Master Ximen, I will take my leave first."

When I came to the restaurant, I didn't collect the information I wanted, and meeting Ximen Chuuxue was a pleasant surprise.Intelligence still needs to be collected, so he changed to another restaurant to have a look.

He also wanted to see what the rumors about their Eastern Demon Cult looked like.

……

To say that Yan Tieshan's purpose of inviting heroes from all walks of life to appreciate treasures is to clear the name of No. [-], which is the result of his discussions with Dugu Yihe.

No. [-] took the blame for them and didn't say that Huo Xiu was Shangguanmu, and Shangguanmu was killed and replaced by Shangguan Jin five years ago. They owed No. [-] a big favor.However, I didn't expect No. [-] and the others to be passed on to the Devil's Cult in the outside world, which is far from the truth.

What's more, when Tsing Yi Building faced No. [-], it was Shangguan Jin who bumped into him and struck first. His skills were not as good as others, so even if he died, he couldn't blame him.

It cost a lot of money to hold this event, at least the gimmick must be big enough, so that these heroes will be attracted here.

In order to promote this event, celebrities in the Jianghu were also invited, so it was only natural that Lu Xiaofeng received an invitation that was exactly the same as Number Seven.

"Hua Man Lou, Yan Tieshan's invitation is really interesting. Look, he said that I can bring my good friend with me."

Passing the invitation to Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and smiled complacently, knowing nothing about the future of losing his beloved beard.

"You said, I have so many friends, who should I take?"

Rubbing the paper with his fingers, the flowers filled the building and said, "Boss Yan has invited heroes from all walks of life, and most of your friends must be among them, and the Hua family has also received invitations. Are you planning to go, Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Go, definitely go! There are so few lively things like this, I, Lu Xiaofeng! Boss Yan probably spent a lot of money this time, just looking at the description in the invitation card makes people very excited."

Hua Manlou laughed, and handed the invitation back to Lu Xiaofeng.

"Hua Man Lou, would you like to go with me? My intuition tells me that something must happen in this treasure banquet. I smell trouble."

"Okay." Shaking the folding fan, Hua Manlou had a smile on his face—with Lu Xiaofeng, he never seemed to be bored.

Leaving Baihualou, Lu Xiaofeng went directly to Sikong Zhaixing, this old monkey knows a lot, maybe he can ask him who will come to the banquet.

Coincidentally, it's time for Sikong Zhaixing to come to him for a bet. The only joy in this old monkey's life seems to be stealing and betting with him.

Arriving at a bustling street where Sikong Zhaixing frequented, Lu Xiaofeng waited all morning, and finally found the person he was looking for.

Patting a passerby on the shoulder, Lu Xiaofeng said: "Old monkey, don't hide, I found you."

The passerby, that is, Sikong Zhaixing paused for a moment, and when he turned around, he looked depressed.

"Lu Xiaoji, why do you keep discovering my disguise?"

"Because you only have money bags in your eyes, old monkey, your disguise will never fool me, let's go, I invite you to a restaurant for a drink."

"Haha, Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to treat guests, I will definitely kill you severely!"

"Be merciful, I'm a poor man. But I can still afford a meal."

After ordering, sitting face to face with Sikong Zhaixing, Lu Xiaofeng said: "Old Monkey, have you received the invitation from Yan Boss Yan Tieshan to appreciate the treasure?"

"Of course there is! Boss Yan has invited heroes from all walks of life, and I, Sikong Zhaixing, are of course in there... What, Lu Xiaofeng, why are you laughing?"

Forcibly holding back his smile, Lu Xiaofeng said: "Boss Yan is also a strange person, the King of Thieves, Sikong Zhaixing, dares to invite him, isn't he afraid that all his treasures will be stolen?"

Sikong Zhaixing jumped up and squatted on the table, squinted his eyes at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Hey Lu Xiaoji, I have principles! I don't steal everything! When people invite me to be a guest, I can even steal from the host's house." What you want will not work! You Lu Xiaofeng, how dare you insult my character of the King of Stealing Kings like this!"

"I'm just joking, calm down." After saying that, he handed the wine to Sikong Zhaixing, "This jug of good wine is given to you as an apology. It came from Ximen Yuyan."

Hearing the words Ximen Yuyan, Sikong Zhaixing's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed the jug and took a big gulp.

"It's really good wine! I'll forgive you for the sake of the wine, Lu Xiaoji." Ximen Yuyan's wine was good wine. He only drank it once, and the taste made him never forget it.

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing who was drinking Zhenghuan opposite, Lu Xiaofeng's face flashed a trace of solemnity.

Just like what he said just now, Boss Yan's heart is a little too big for inviting the King of Thieves as a guest on such an occasion.

Or, the purpose of this banquet is not to appreciate treasures, but something else.Indeed, Yan Tieshan's motivation for organizing this activity is not clear, it seems to be a whim, which is really intriguing.

He has to go to Dazhi Datong to ask a few questions.

Having said that, since meeting that beauty, he hasn't been to a brothel.

"Old monkey, please do something."

After drinking the last drop of wine, he reluctantly put down the flagon, Sikong Zhaoxing put his hands on his chest and raised his chin towards Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Come on, you, Lu Xiaoji, invited me to dinner and drinks, I know you are not so Kindness. As long as I can help you, Lu Xiaofeng, I will help."

"Please help me find someone."

"who?"

"That beauty who is more beautiful than Ximen Yuyan."

Hearing that Sikong Zhaixing was a little surprised: "Then the rumor is actually true?!"

"The rumors are true, I have seen it with my own eyes."

After finishing speaking, he handed the scroll in his arms to Sikong Zhaixing, motioning him to unfold it.

With a very strong curiosity in his heart, Sikong Zhaixing couldn't wait to open the picture scroll.

Then, he saw a man in red wearing a mask.

"A man?! Why is he still wearing a mask? Lu Xiaofeng, how do you know that he is more beautiful than Ximen Yuyan?"

Touching his nose, Lu Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, "Because I've seen it before, but my drawing skills are not good, so I didn't draw it down. This was drawn by Ximen Yuyan. He has never seen that person's plastic surgery, only this one wearing a mask look."

After taking a sip of water to subdue his shock, Sikong Zhaixing said: "Help! I will definitely help with this favor!" Thinking about the bounties Ximen Yuyan mentioned, he was very moved.

"I'm just waiting for your words, and I'll go find Grandson Gui with me later."

"it is good!"

No. [-] thought well. Lu Xiaofeng indeed asked his friends to help him find someone. Everyone with great influence in the Jianghu was invited. The world is so big, finding an unknown person is like finding a needle in a haystack. Of course, there are too many people. Powerful.

He also wanted to ask Ximen Chuuxue, the last time he went to Dazhi Datong to know the real identity of the beauty, Dazhi Datong didn't give an answer, he also asked Hua Manting's contact with the beauty, Dazhi Datong also said he didn't know, it was a waste of time I gave him 100 taels of silver.

This time I went to ask Dazhi Datong because I wanted to know how to get Ximen Chuuxue to agree if he asked Ximen Chuuxue for help.

As for finding out the real identity of that beauty, he no longer counted on it.
