Li Banfeng uses a special technique to view Shui Yongquan's soul and discover memories, unearthing a hidden backup plan. After Shui Yongquan awakens, his memories are fragmented, but he recognizes Qiu Luoye and reminisces about Zhu Chunhua. Qiu Luoye becomes enraged by Shui Yongquan's interference in his past relationship, leading to a confrontation.

When he heard that a thief had come, Qiu Luoye didn't think much of it: "Are you talking about those petty thieves from Lai Chun Lane? I've taught them a lesson a few times. These people just can't change their ways, but then again, all thieves are like this, they remember to eat but not the beating."

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'm not talking about the petty thieves; it's the old thief, the oldest one."

"The oldest one..." Qiu Luoye thought about which thief was the oldest, "Are you talking about Xiao Qianshou?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "It's him."

"Wasn't he beaten to death by the Peddler?"

"That old bastard didn't die. I even ran into him a couple of days ago and almost fell into his hands."

"Let's go, find him!" Qiu Luoye packed up briefly and was about to go alone to find Xiao Qianshou.

Qiu Luoye had been reckless all his life, but at least he had a sense of propriety. Why was he so impulsive this time?

Li Banfeng quickly stopped Qiu Luoye: "Big Brother Qiu, our cultivation level is much lower than his!"

Qiu Luoye laughed: "Don't worry, big brother knows what he's doing. Xiao Qianshou is formidable, but here, he can't touch me unless he wants the Peddler to kill him again."

Qiu Luoye is the Local Deity of Qi Qiu City, and people of Xiao Qianshou's level can't make a move against Qiu Luoye.

But would Xiao Qianshou abide by the Peddler's rules?

The two of them went down the mountain, and Gloves could sense Xiao Qianshou's presence. The closer they got, the more Gloves feared Xiao Qianshou.

"Boss, we better take a detour. Who knows how many years that old bastard has lived or what level he's at? A wise man doesn't suffer immediate loss; it's best not to confront him directly,

even though Qiu Luoye is the Local Deity here, this old bastard might still dare to strike. Let me say something unpleasant: maybe Master Qiu hasn't noticed yet, and he's already lost his life."

Li Banfeng was also a bit worried: "Big Brother Qiu, let's slow down. We're not in a hurry, maybe Xiao Qianshou is just passing by."

Qiu Luoye stubbornly decided: "Passing by or not, I have to teach him a lesson today. He'll have to go around when he's in my territory from now on!"

They reached Junyang Avenue, and Gloves tremblingly told Li Banfeng: "Seems like he's in that bathhouse."

Qiu Luoye looked at Qiu Sheng Bathhouse and gritted his teeth: "Damn it, if he dares to come here, I won't let him off!"

Qiu Sheng Bathhouse is very special to Qiu Luoye. It was at this bathhouse that he transformed and lived anew.

Ma Junyang bought the bathhouse and, in memory of "Qiu Luoye's rebirth," named it Qiu Sheng Bathhouse. To cause trouble here is like stabbing Qiu Luoye in the face.

As he entered the bathhouse entrance, Qiu Luoye first asked the shopkeeper: "How many customers are inside?"

Qiu Luoye was a VIP, often spending a whole day bathing, and the shopkeeper was familiar with him: "Are you asking about the men's pool or the women's pool?"

Qiu Luoye angrily replied: "Why would I ask about the women's pool? Just tell me about the men's pool!"

At this hour, it was late at night, and there weren't many people in the pool. The shopkeeper checked the locker tags; there were six male guests and one female guest.

Qiu Luoye said to the shopkeeper: "I have a friend in the men's pool. I need to have a word with him; send a staff member to persuade the other guests to leave."

The shopkeeper quickly instructed the staff to do the task. Li Banfeng was about to follow Qiu Luoye inside, but Qiu Luoye gestured for him to stay: "Brother, wait at the door. If anything happens, keep an eye out for me.

If you go in, it'll be harder to handle. He might not dare to touch me, but he might not be polite to you."

Li Banfeng wasn't the Local Deity here, so by the rules, Xiao Qianshou really didn't need to give face to him.

Qiu Luoye entered the bathhouse, casually glanced around, and quickly found Xiao Qianshou.

Xiao Qianshou was soaking in the pool, with a wine jug beside him.

Qiu Luoye stepped forward, picked up the jug, poured himself a cup, and laughed at Xiao Qianshou: "Old Qian, are you here for a bite?"

Xiao Qianshou looked up at Qiu Luoye with a grin and said: "We're all naked here, not a single piece of clothing, what bite can I find?"

Qiu Luoye said: "I just heard from a guest that he's missing several items, did you take them?"

Xiao Qianshou was startled: "Which guest?"

"Don't worry about which guest, just asking if you took them?" Qiu Luoye intentionally caused trouble.

Xiao Qianshou shook his head: "You've got it wrong; I did take some things, but not from a guest, I took them from the shopkeeper."

Qiu Luoye didn't understand Xiao Qianshou's meaning; Xiao Qianshou clapped his hands, performing a trick for Qiu Luoye.

In his palms appeared a liver, a complete liver.

He shouted: "Outside, take a good look, is your liver missing."

His voice was sharp and piercing, and it was very clear to those outside.

The shopkeeper didn't know what it meant. Hearing this, he felt discomfort in his side.

He pulled up his shirt and saw an incision below his right rib, neither bleeding nor painful. When he touched outside, it seemed something was missing inside.

The shopkeeper's face twisted, and he looked toward Li Banfeng: "What happened to me? I was fine before."

Li Banfeng advised the shopkeeper to find a place to rest and asked a staff member to immediately seek a Medical Cultivator.

Qiu Luoye said inside the bathhouse: "Old Qian, what skill is it to strike against the White Lamb? Put that liver down and let's have a contest between us."

"Contest with me? Are you worthy?" Xiao Qianshou kneaded the shopkeeper's liver in his hand, "Don't think that just because you're the Local Deity here, I won't touch you. I came here today to replace this territory's master. Qiu Luoye, take a look at yourself, someone like you, worthy of this Proper Land?"
