Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

Gu Sheng secretly calculated in his mind.

A year has passed, and Li Yan’s body must have gone through countless reincarnations by now. As for the remaining clues, they are nothing more than Li Yan’s weapon and the silver fox fur that barely counts as a clue.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible to trace anything back to Gu Sheng.

But the fear is just that the other party might not follow reason. If there’s even a slight suspicion, Gu’s Manor might not be able to handle the mess.

Thinking this, Gu Sheng casually spoke:

"So, this Madam Du is quite favored?"

Zhang Ze smiled and took a sip of his drink, saying:

"I heard that this Madam Du is quite the libertine. Ever since she got involved with Han Lu, she completely disregarded public opinion. Tsk tsk, her enthusiasm surpasses even the most wanton courtesan in the city..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Sheng’s heart stirred.

Li Yan’s sister attaching herself to Han Lu wasn’t something that happened recently, but since there’s been no sign of investigation yet,

It indicates.

Either Li Yu hasn’t asked Han Lu to investigate, or Han Lu’s actions have not been prompt.

Gu Sheng refrained from asking further, to avoid the situation where the enemy does not come knocking, yet he himself panics and inadvertently reveals any traces.

He exchanged a glance with Gu Erniu, both pretending as if nothing had happened, and continued drinking and chatting idly with other hunters.

...

Li’s Castle.

Du Jiangbo was staring grimly at the distant red pavilion, veins bulging on his tightly clenched fists.

"Whore! Whore!"

He roared in his heart, wanting to burst out in anger, but ultimately swallowed it down in frustration.

He never expected.

His own wife would so blatantly betray him, simply because he did not diligently investigate Li Yan’s death, she shamelessly climbed into another man’s bed!

Now, Du Jiangbo has become a complete laughingstock, everyone mocks him behind his back, calling him a cuckold.

If it were anyone else, he would have immediately taken people to kill them.

But that was Han Lu.

The deputy gang leader of the Black Sand Gang, an outright Blood Refining Realm expert, was simply not someone he could deal with. A profound sense of powerlessness surged within Du Jiangbo’s heart, filling him with resentment.

His eyes bulged.

With his realm as an Iron Skin Martial Artist, he could naturally hear faint movements from a distance, but what use was that? It only aggravated his own pain, serving no purpose at all.

Du Jiangbo stared unblinkingly at the pavilion, as if trying to engrave the sight of it in his eyes.

Who knows how much time passed.

The wind stopped, the rain ceased.

Faintly, the teasing voices of a man and a woman could be heard.

"Master Han~~ this time you better not break your promise~ or I won’t be as attentive serving you next time~~"

"Hehe, rest assured, little darling. This time as soon as I return, Master Han will immediately send someone to inquire at Canghe County."

"You better pay attention this time~~"

"Certainly! This time I absolutely won’t go back on my word!"

...

Before long.

The pavilion door opened, and a burly man with a tangled beard walked out half-clad, a satisfied smile on his face.

Du Jiangbo quickly lowered his head, not daring to show any insolence, hiding the hatred and resentment in his eyes.

Han Lu walked over to Du Jiangbo with a big smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Jiangbo, the Li’s Castle is developing well lately. The boss is quite pleased with you. As long as you keep up the good work, the Black Sand Gang will eventually truly accept you. In time, becoming a Blood Refining Realm expert like me won’t be a difficult task."

Du Jiangbo immediately forced a smile, patting his chest in agreement:
