As Bai Zhantang returned the finger, the pawnshop theft was officially solved.
Although the thief was not caught, the lost property was recovered and an explanation was given.
Mr. Xing was very proud of this, thinking that it was his massive search that prevented the thieves from selling the stolen goods and had to return them.
And as soon as he didn't bother, order in Qixia Town was quickly restored.
Tongfu Inn was full of guests again, and Tong Xiangyu's face reappeared with a smile, no longer as sad as before. _o_m
Lu Xiucai no longer has to worry about his few taels of silver and land deeds, and he can't sleep at night.
White Horse Academy has started school again, and Mo Xiaobei can continue to play in school.
Xiang Nan also moved back home and continued to practice his magical powers under the guidance of his mother.
Everything has returned to calm.
Only Guo Furong hadn't figured it out yet, until she saw the wallet Bai Zhantang accidentally took out.
"It turns out it's you! You're an old thief who has killed a thousand people!" Guo Furong said through gritted teeth.
"What, what am I? What's wrong with you?" Bai Zhantang asked in confusion.
"You still said! That purse is mine!" Guo Furong jumped up and chased Bai Zhantang throughout the hall, "I'll kill you!"
It turns out that her upbringing was very strict back then, and her parents never allowed her to go out alone. It was not until I was sixteen that my parents finally relented.
She happily traveled around the world with a hundred taels of silver in her pocket. She originally wanted to become famous in the martial arts world and surpass her father. Unexpectedly, before leaving the capital, his wallet was stolen.
As a result, she could only go home in despair, and was grounded for another two years before she was allowed to come out again. For this, she simply hated the thief.
But he didn't expect that the thief would be Bai Zhantang.
At this time, she finally had a personal experience and realized that Xiang Nan was right.
Those who advocate robbing the rich and giving to the poor are the poor, thinking that they may benefit. But once their own interests are damaged, they will immediately turn against others.
…
"The waves are rough, the waves are overwhelming, the wind is strong, the waves are high, the waves are turbulent..." Xiang Nan practiced the Shocking Wave Palm one move after another in the courtyard.
Although he is already familiar with the changes of moves in this martial arts, he cannot yet control his ability and energy from the heart, and it is difficult to control the light, heavy, hard and soft as he pleases. It is far from being a master, he can only be said to be just getting started.
Xiang Nan didn't dare to slack off for a day and practiced diligently every day. Because he knew that Yang Huilan would be coming soon.
Although Xiang Nan has no interest in Yang Huilan, the purpose of coming here is only to learn martial arts. But if he could defeat her and marry her, it would be like hunting a rabbit.
However, Yang Huilan's 64-style widow's sword was so powerful that even Bai Zhantang was a little stunned.
Of course, Yang Huilan's martial arts skills were not as good as Lao Bai's, and she was repeatedly picked on by him. But Xiang Nan thought that his current martial arts might not be comparable to Bai Zhantang.
He and Yang Huilan are probably evenly matched, so they have to work harder.
"Brother Big Mouth, you're really good at practicing martial arts." Guo Furong praised Xiang Nan with a smile as she saw Xiang Nan's vigorous moves.
Before, she had always regarded Bai Zhantang as her idol, and she had also spoken harshly to Xiang Nan. Later, Bai Zhantang stole her wallet and her idol dream was shattered. Now she thinks of Xiang Nan's benefits again.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan said politely and distantly.
He finally distanced himself from Guo Furong, but he didn't want to continue to be entangled with her.
"Brother Big Mouth, I'm sorry about what happened two days ago~" Guo Furong said again.
Back then, she not only spoke harshly to Xiang Nan, but also threatened to beat him up. She even abandoned him and fell in love with the Thief Saint. Now that she thinks about it, she is really outrageous.
"It doesn't matter. Every incident brings wisdom. I came here the same way back then." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"Brother Big Mouth, then you are willing to forgive me?" Guo Furong said excitedly after hearing this.
"Forgive, why don't you forgive." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "You are just like my sister. Even if the sister makes a mistake, the elder brother has to admit it."
"Sister?!" Guo Furong was stunned for a moment, feeling like she had received a thousand critical hits.
"Yes, tell me if you have anything to do in the future." Xiang Nan smiled and walked out immediately.

Guo Furong froze on the spot, speechless for a long time.
…
"Master, how much does this sword cost?" Xiang Nan then came to the blacksmith shop, picked up an iron sword and asked.
He is preparing for the contest to find a bride. Since Yang Huilan uses a knife, he cannot face the enemy empty-handed.
Because fighting a weapon with bare hands will definitely result in a loss. Especially when there is not much difference in martial arts between the two, whoever has the weapon in hand will have the advantage.
"This sword costs five taels of silver." The blacksmith said immediately after hearing this.
"So expensive?!" Xiang Nan said in surprise.
This iron sword is not even a sharp weapon, but it is so expensive to sell it. It is really outrageous.
"Of course, it takes a lot of effort to fight a sword." The blacksmith said, "If you think it's expensive, then buy a knife to defend yourself. The knife is cheap, only two taels of silver."
A sword needs to be edged on both sides, but a knife only needs to be edged on one side, which saves more than half of the effort.
"..." Xiang Nan pursed his lips. He didn't expect the knife to be so expensive. "Master, is there anything cheaper?"
"Cheaper?! Then buy a gun head and find a stick yourself. It can be regarded as the same weapon." The blacksmith added.
"How much does the gun head cost?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"One tael of silver," the blacksmith said again.
"..." Xiang Nan thought for a while and decided to forget it.
Instead of carrying a gun, he might as well find a stick.
At least in terms of stick techniques, he knows the six-and-a-half-point stick technique, the white eyebrow stick technique, the crazy magic stick technique, the Shura stick technique and the universal stick technique, and is quite accomplished in stick techniques.
In comparison, in terms of marksmanship, he only knows a set of Poison Dragon marksmanship. After all, Buddhism is compassionate and only seeks to defeat the enemy, not kill people, so sharp weapons such as swords, guns, and swords are not recommended. Update without error@
However, he didn't come to the iron shop in vain. He still spent two coins and ordered a batch of flying needles.
When the time comes, using stick techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, and hidden weapons together, Yang Huilan will definitely be able to drink a pot.
…
Xiang Nan then went to the lumber store, selected a long stick, baked it first, then polished it smooth, then soaked it in tung oil to increase its toughness, and then air-dried it...
After being soaked and exposed to the sun nine times, such a long stick is both tough and rigid, and it is also corrosion-resistant and can be used for a long time.
While Xiang Nan was tinkering with his stick, he was diligently practicing Jingtai Palm and finger snapping magical powers in preparation for Yang Huilan's arrival.
While Xiang Nan was actively preparing for the battle, Guo Furong was listless for several days. When she was hurrying to put away the bowl, she accidentally dropped it several times.
"Xiao Guo, are you sick? Why don't you go see a doctor." Tong Xiangyu said with concern upon seeing this.
"Shopkeeper, I'm fine." Guo Furong grinned and said, looking like she was smiling, but the smile was too scary.
"Xiao Guo, are you really okay?" Tong Xiangyu said in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Guo Furong like this.
"I'm really fine. I brought it on myself, shopkeeper." Guo Furong said with a wry smile.
Tong Xiangyu didn't know why, so he asked Bai Zhantang, Lu Xiucai and Mo Xiaobei but they didn't have any clue. Xiang Nan vaguely guessed it, but naturally he wouldn't reveal it. .
