Chapter 306: The First Bird to Stick Its Head Out
After breakfast, Gu Heng set up a furnace in the courtyard to refine medicine and try to regain his skills.
Qin Yiyao practiced her swordplay nearby. When she got tired, she would eat the sweet cakes that Gu Heng had placed in the stone pavilion, and then go to the small study to find some play scripts to read to pass the time.
Time passed slowly like this.
Until noon was approaching.
At this moment, a slightly strong wind suddenly rose above the capital city of Riyan, with a cold and murderous atmosphere, as if a storm was about to break.
Such unusual behavior was obvious to anyone. Gu Heng frowned, then took Qin Yiyao back to the house and instructed, "Girl, Master has some business to attend to and has to go out. He should be back around lunchtime." Qin Yiyao nodded solemnly, "Okay."
As soon as Gu Heng left, she pouted.
"You never include me in fun activities, you stinky master."
She's not stupid; how could she not know what Gu Heng was going to do?
I walked to the window and looked up at the sky. There was a huge floating palace approaching.
Without a doubt, Gu Heng must have gone to deal with that thing.
Gu Heng and Bai Feier arrived at the Liu residence again. Everyone in the Liu family was extremely anxious. Liu Changfeng, the head of the family, was so anxious that he was about to break down. All day yesterday, no matter how he tried to persuade Liu Yu, she firmly refused to marry Yu Yinzi.
Everyone in the Liu family knows the implications.
If Liu Yu does not comply, she will surely face utter destruction!
Liu Changfeng was extremely anxious, but to no avail.
She was, after all, his daughter; he had to cherish her and never throw her away. Seeing the floating palace approaching, not far from the Liu family mansion, Liu Changfeng finally erupted, roaring, "You wretched daughter, are you really going to destroy my entire Liu family for this?"
Liu Yu sat in the chair, without saying a word.
Her nervousness and fear were greater than anyone else's, but she chose to continue to trust Gu Heng.
"You...oh!"
Liu Changfeng let out a long sigh.
"Don't sigh, Uncle Liu. Just wait patiently. Young Master Gu is here and will handle it."
At this moment, Bai Feier and Gu Heng also arrived. Seeing Liu Changfeng getting angry at Liu Yu, Bai Feier hurriedly went to persuade him.
They saw that Gu Heng had arrived.
Liu Changfeng was completely unpretentious and knelt down right in front of him, saying in a low voice, "Please, Young Master Gu, save the lives of everyone in my Liu family. I, Liu Changfeng, will repay this kindness even if it means serving you like a slave!" After saying that, he kowtowed several times.
They were truly forced into this situation with no other choice.
"Don't say that, it's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Gu Heng helped Liu Changfeng up.
After comforting the head of the Liu family, Gu Heng, Bai Feier, and Liu Yu went to the outer courtyard and watched as the floating palace slowly came to a stop, from which three figures emerged.
It was still Yu Yinzi, Xiao Tang, and Luo Xian.
However, when Gu Heng saw Yu Yinzi this time, he wanted to laugh, especially when Yu Yinzi thought she had the victory in her grasp, her face full of arrogance, and she didn't even intend to act.
He had no idea that the elder who was most capable of protecting him was actually plotting to torture him to death.
"The time has come."
Yu Yinzi looked down at Liu Yu, who stood not far away, her face stubborn and unyielding, and his expression darkened. "What do you say, Junior Sister Liu Yu?"
"Do you intend to return to Thousand Sound Valley with me to complete this marriage, or do you intend to go against my wishes?"
His voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire Sunfire Capital.
Many people now feel that there's another juicy story to tell.
"I reject."
This time, Liu Yu spoke without hesitation.
"good very good."
Seemingly unsurprised by the answer, Tamagotomi smiled.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for taking a hard line. Or are you so confident because you have a reclusive master at the first level of the Saint realm backing you up?"
His words were the most direct threat.
"I……"
Liu Yu pursed her lips, about to speak, when suddenly a soft cough sounded beside her.
"Oh dear, it seems I'm being looked down upon."
Gu Heng's smiling voice came through.
Actually, his legs were a little weak.
After all, he had never experienced anything like this before. Now he was standing up for someone else. When Gu Heng stood up for others in the past, the opponents he faced were at most ordinary thugs, whom he could take down with a few punches and kicks.
Now he is facing the most formidable force in the Eastern Frontier.
But there is no way.
We have to give it our all eventually.
Helping Liu Yu is also helping yourself; take the system rewards if you can.
"Young Master Gu, right?"
Yu Yinzi looked at Gu Heng, clasped her hands and bowed, saying, "Although I am not afraid of you, I do not want to make enemies with a reclusive senior like you. After all, it is better to have as many friends as possible, and it is better not to make enemies."
"Therefore, I would like to trouble you, Young Master Gu, to make a concession for the time being. Once this matter is over, my father, the Valley Master of Qianyin Valley, will certainly invite you to the valley for a proper discussion."
"Don't let this kind of woman ruin your harmony."
Yu Yinzi's attitude was humble and polite.
You can't be unhumble either.
If a Mahayana cultivator dared to block the way here, Yu Yinzi wouldn't have been so lenient; she would have bluntly told him that anyone who blocked the way would die.
But no matter what, this Young Master Gu, although weaker than his father, is still a supreme saint.
Furthermore, this Young Master Gu must also understand what the difference in strength means. When a Saint Realm Level 1 fights a Saint Realm Level 3 fighter, the Level 1 fighter is bound to lose no matter what.
Killing is certainly not easy, but being seriously injured is inevitable... We've all cultivated to this level, we can't let some unrelated lowly woman ruin our chance to advance further, can we?
Therefore, Yu Yinzi felt that Young Master Gu would definitely figure this out.
Then abandon support for Liu Yu.
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng smiled even more gently.
"No, no, no, you're mistaken. It's not me who's hurting our relationship, it's you. I have no desire to have anything to do with your father. As long as I'm here today, Miss Liu Yu will be here too."
"If you want to use force, I'm ready to play along."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yinzi's gaze darkened, and her face turned as black as charcoal.
He didn't expect that.
Young Master Gu didn't give them any chance to make peace; he just made his position irrevocable!
It should be noted that Thousand Sound Valley is a renowned extraordinary force in the Eastern Frontier.
No one would underestimate it.
Who exactly is this Young Master Gu? How can he be so arrogant?
"Young Master Gu, you should think this through carefully."
Yu Yinzi narrowed her eyes and warned, "If you don't know what's good for you, my Qianyin Valley won't mind making you pay a price too."
"Of course, killing you would be too difficult, but making you run away with your tail between your legs, losing all your prestige, and incidentally inflicting some wounds that are difficult to heal... is also acceptable."
Gu Heng smiled indifferently, showing no fear whatsoever, "You can try."
Laugh to death.
He wasn't afraid.
I can create a temporary trial voucher myself and instantly become a Saintly Tenth Level expert. Even if I don't create one, Jiang Lingyun would definitely be here by now; she just hasn't shown herself yet. The advantage is mine!
