Chapter 123: Do you trust me that much?
After walking to a more secluded place, Gu Yu sighed helplessly when faced with a group of people with ill intentions.
He was getting tired of these uninvited weaklings who were practically sending themselves to be dealt with.
Just scattering some medicinal powder and these people would instantly lose consciousness… Attacks like these made Gu Yu feel there was no challenge anymore.
Perhaps he should switch to using the Soul-suppressing bell, to add a bit more interest.
Life needed more fun!
“Gu Yu, just surrender obediently! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
“Oh? How will you be impolite to me!”
“Hmph, naturally by beating you into submission!”
“Beat me into submission? I’m afraid you won’t even be able to touch my sleeves…”
Hearing the typical villain’s lines from the other party, Gu Yu silently reached into his sleeve, preparing to take out the bell from his space to deal with these guys.
Didn’t they want to beat him into submission!
Later, he’d let them experience the taste of killing each other.
And he’d be an onlooker, treating it like a live-action horror movie.
“Stop, you bunch of guys, how can you treat my savior like this! A bunch of bastards, I’ll beat you to death!”
However, just as Gu Yu was about to take out the bell, a furious roar suddenly sounded.
This made Gu Yu frown, not knowing who had ruined his fun!
But, when a familiar horse appeared, Gu Yu immediately relaxed his frown, knowing who it was.
He Li.
Gu Yu, who had saved his life with a detoxification pill, had always known they would meet again, but he didn’t expect… it to be so soon.
Although on the surface, they hadn’t seen each other for some time.
However, that fickle horse always came to visit, so Gu Yu always knew He Li’s whereabouts, not far from them.
It was only in the last two days that he had lost track of He Li.
“Master, why have you come!”
“If I don’t come, you’ll start laying hands on my savior! After I returned home, didn’t I tell He Qiang that you shouldn’t attack the Tang Sect anymore? Why has he not stopped! Does he really want me to disown him as a son!”
“Master, please calm your anger, there must be some misunderstanding here.”
Fu Lin was surprised to see He Li appear.
Immediately after, seeing He Li’s dissatisfaction with the sect leader, he quickly explained to prevent any rift between them.
However, it was no wonder… Before they came out, the sect leader had repeatedly warned them not to let the old master know about this operation.
It turned out the old master knew Gu Yu.
This Gu Yu was truly amazing!
He actually knew the sect leader’s father without making a sound. This wasn’t the time to fight.
Moreover, they had to obediently bow their heads and admit their mistakes…
“Young Master Gu, it was our oversight to try and attack you! We are extremely sorry, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against us!”
“Hmph, appearing out of nowhere, and after threatening me, you think it’s over just like that? That doesn’t seem right!”
“This…”
Then, as Fu Lin apologized humbly, Gu Yu’s smile remained unchanged.
However, what he said indicated that he didn’t want to end it so simply.
Even with He Li standing by, Gu Yu wasn’t going to give up pursuing responsibility… After all, he had been threatened before.
And they even said they would beat him into submission!
How could such a thing not be taken seriously!
“Insolent! I am a relative of a court official, how dare you act so recklessly! Moreover, you just said you would abduct me back to the sect for the so-called sect leader to deal with, endangering my life.”
“What, I didn’t…”
Gu Yu’s smile quickly faded, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Fu Lin. His aggressive words made Fu Lin’s expression change drastically.
Although he was surprised by Gu Yu’s intimidating presence, the main reason was He Li standing beside him.
He Li was the sect leader’s father.
If He Li was displeased, they would die miserable deaths!
Therefore, they had to explain clearly.
At the very least, they had to shift the blame and not take any responsibility themselves.
But… speaking of which, they hadn’t said anything about taking Gu Yu back to the sect just now.
What Gu Yu was saying now was clearly his own fabrication!
They were genuinely wronged!
“There’s such a thing! Good! I really have a good son, putting on a different act to my face than behind my back, treating his old man like a grandchild!”
“Master, it’s not like that, it’s…”
“What is it or isn’t it? I saw it with my own eyes, is there any falsehood in that!”
When He Li heard Gu Yu’s words, he was infuriated. He remembered that when he returned, he had directly told his son.
His poison had been resolved.
But He Qiang didn’t believe him.
Even though He Li had brought many doctors to prove that he had indeed recovered to normal, he was still treated as a fraud.
This made He Li very helpless, not knowing how to make his son believe him.
He wasn’t lying!
He was truly detoxified!
Gu Yu was truly amazing, completely different from those quack doctors!
It was also because since He Li was poisoned, he had seen many doctors, but none of them had any effect. This made He Qiang no longer believe that doctors could detoxify.
Even though Gu Yu had helped the Tang Sect detoxify, that minor poison was completely different from the severe poison that He Li had suffered.
Therefore, He Qiang vowed to obtain the Tang Sect’s secret treasure!
“This attack on Young Master Gu has nothing to do with the sect leader, it was just our own wishful thinking! If Young Master Gu is still angry, then just kill us to vent your anger!”
“Hmph, at this point, there’s no use in you continuing to hide it! Go back and tell He Qiang that I’m going to visit the Tang Sect.”
“Ah?”
“What ‘ah’! If you want me to go back, have him come to pick me up himself! Alright, you guys hurry up and get out!”
Just as Fu Lin gritted his teeth and was about to hand over his weapon to Gu Yu for him to deal with as he pleased, He Li suddenly made a shocking decision.
This stunned Fu Lin and his men, and even Gu Yu didn’t expect it.
The Tang Sect, to He Li, was like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den!
How could he just go there as if it were a game…
At this moment, seeing He Li send away the worried Fu Lin, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
He had only come out for a casual stroll this time.
Now, did he have to pick up a big piece of trouble!
“Little Brother Gu, from now on, I’ll be relying on you! As you know, for the Tang Sect… I’m an enemy they want to get rid of as soon as possible. I must find a strong backer to be the safest.”
“Old He, do you trust me that much?”
“Trust you! After all, you saved my life.”
He Li smiled very happily when he mentioned the life-saving grace.
