Chapter 152 Is Master Yan the Golden Spear Master?

In Cangzhou Prefecture, on the top floor of the Flying Cloud Restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with patrons, the air filled with the din of voices.

The Drunken Immortal Brew at the Flying Cloud Restaurant was a unique specialty of Cangzhou Prefecture.

Travelers from the Jianghu visiting Cangzhou Prefecture had to try a pot of Drunken Immortal Brew, or their trip would be considered wasted.

"Have you heard? Fang Family Fortress was wiped out by a mysterious spearman. Except for the Fang family members who were away, everyone else remaining in the fortress is dead."

The news of Fang Family Fortress's destruction had spread throughout Cangzhou Prefecture over the past two days, sparking heated discussions among countless Jianghu practitioners.

After all, it was a power with a Grandmaster presiding over it.

Even the visiting Jianghu travelers showed expressions of interest.

"What? Who exactly did it?"

"Hey! Who could possibly know that?"

"But I heard the culprit wore a set of impenetrable armor and wielded a golden spear; the Jianghu has dubbed him the Golden Spear Guest!"

"Golden Spear Guest?"

"That name sounds so familiar! You don't mean Blade Demon Yan Chu, do you?"

Jianghu practitioners at the next table heard the discussion and leaned in to join the conversation.

"I said it's the Golden Spear Guest; what does that have to do with Blade Demon Yan Chu?"

"Everyone knows Great Hero Yan specializes in blade techniques!"

The two who were originally discussing it glanced at the other person with annoyance.

"Isn't it you Cangzhou Prefecture folks who say that Great Hero Yan is known for his 'Golden Spear That Never Falls'?"

"They say he also possesses a long spear that leaves countless married women infatuated, making a deeper impression than his blade."

"We only just arrived, and we already heard this rumor!"

"Ah? There's such a rumor?"

The two who started the conversation looked at each other in dismay.

Although the Jianghu of Cangzhou Prefecture knew Great Hero Yan had two famous traits, this rumor about his 'Golden Spear That Never Falls' was something they were hearing for the first time.

Could it really be as the two said? Was Great Hero Yan that Golden Spear Guest?

"But one is a long spear for killing, and the other is a long spear for 'making people'—isn't that a bit of a big difference?"

One person said with a hesitant expression.

"Hey! I'm just asking; who's to say for sure!"

"Besides, doesn't Great Hero Yan suffer from blood reversal and his Meridians bursting if he doesn't copulate with a woman for a day? It's reasonable and logical that his spear techniques are superb!"

This twisted logic actually convinced the two who were originally discussing it.

The two looked at each other and nodded hesitantly,

"What you say actually makes some sense!"

"Makes sense, my ass!!!"

A young man in white, who had been drinking alone by the window, could finally hold it in no longer upon hearing this.

As soon as he spoke, it was like a rumbling thunderclap, shaking the entire Flying Cloud Restaurant.

Everyone felt a buzzing in their ears, almost knocked unconscious by this roar.

It took nearly half a quarter of an hour for everyone to recover.

When they looked toward the window, they found it empty.

The young man who had been sitting there, pouring and drinking for himself, had disappeared without a trace...

"Pfft... Hahahaha! Golden Spear Guest! Golden Spear That Never Falls!"

"Hahahaha!!"

Outside the city, Yan Chu was expressionless.

He was still too kind, managing to resist the urge to casually wipe out those few rumor-mongers.

If he had listened to them say a few more words, he was afraid he really wouldn't have been able to help himself.

Opposite him, Zhu Qingluan, dressed in a black robe and wearing a veil hat, was doubled over with laughter, unable to straighten up.

Just now, in the Flying Cloud Restaurant.

She had actually arrived early, but upon hearing the discussion, she couldn't help but listen carefully.

Who would have thought Yan Chu would lose his patience first, causing her to leave the Flying Cloud Restaurant with him before she even had a chance to taste a sip of Drunken Immortal Brew.

"Oh my, I've laughed until tears came out!"

Zhu Qingluan lifted a corner of her veil hat and wiped the corners of her eyes.

In that instant, she revealed a glimpse of her face, beautiful beyond compare.

Her skin was as tender and white as mutton-fat jade. Even while doubled over with laughter, she remained full of an alluring beauty, her movements as gentle as fragrant grass, her temperament as elegant as an orchid.

Noticing Yan Chu staring at her without blinking.

She revealed a familiar expression.

Zhu Qingluan gave a soft hum, hurriedly pulling down her veil hat to cover her peerless face.

Yan Chu curled his lip slightly and threatened:

"What's so funny?"

"If you keep laughing, I'll take you right here and let you taste my prowess!"

"Hee hee~"

Zhu Qingluan said without a care:

"Who would have thought that these people, by sheer coincidence, would actually guess that Great Hero Yan is the mysterious person who wiped out Fang Family Fortress."

"Golden Spear Guest, hee hee~"

Truth be told, Zhu Qingluan was not someone who easily lost her composure.

She was of noble status, possessed profound cultivation, and always upheld decorum and chastity.

However, what those people said just now was truly too hilarious, and especially being able to see Yan Chu's exasperated appearance in person made her unable to hold back her laughter.

She was very happy to see Yan Chu suffer a setback.

Who told this lecher to be so arrogant? He deserved it!

Hearing this, Yan Chu said crossly:

"You don't think everyone else is an idiot, do you? How could they possibly link me to this incident because of that?"

"Hmph hmph!"

Zhu Qingluan naturally knew that others would not cast suspicion on Yan Chu.

After all, the culprit used spear techniques.

Through the traces left at the scene, people had long since deduced that the mysterious person who wiped out Fang Family Fortress possessed extremely superb spear techniques.

Moreover, there was the residual aura of another Great Grandmaster at the scene, which was enough to demonstrate the strength and terror of that mysterious person.

And Zhu Qingluan's intelligence was more detailed.

She had long known that the Great Grandmaster who died at Fang Family Fortress was Willow Tiger, a Hall Master of the First Uprising Gang.

The First Uprising Gang had already sent people to investigate the culprit.

As a Gang that prioritized righteousness above all else, they were extremely protective of their own and would never allow their Great Grandmaster to die in vain just like that.

But Yan Chu was a Great Grandmaster of the Dao of the blade, and it was known to all under heaven that his blade techniques were superb.

As long as one was a normal person, they shouldn't suspect him.

One had to know that on the path of martial arts, the most important thing was consistency.

If you started by Cultivating blade techniques, without extreme devotion to the blade, you would be unable to Cultivate blade techniques to an extremely profound Realm, and naturally, you would have no extra energy to concurrently practice other weapons.

So Zhu Qingluan was also very curious: how exactly did Yan Chu manage it?

Could his natural talent really be so high?

Shaking her head and temporarily putting those thoughts aside, Zhu Qingluan was still very happy to see Yan Chu like this.

If her prediction was correct, from today on, the Great Hero Yan circulating in the Jianghu would inevitably have one more extremely distinct characteristic.

And even if Yan Chu went to refute the rumors, it would only make things worse.

Hee hee~

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her red lips slightly, her mood very pleasant.

She almost couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

"Alright, is there any news about the people I asked you to find?"

Yan Chu glared at her crossly and asked.

"Hmm, I've basically locked onto their location!"

Zhu Qingluan nodded and said:

"These past few days, it's not just you looking for them; they are also planning to make a move on you!"

"You killed quite a few of their people before, which has already incited their fury. Before this, they had never suffered such a huge loss!"
