Chapter 43: How lively!
Gu Yu did not expect that the matter at Yunlong Temple would be resolved so easily.
In the end, he felt like he had gotten off cheap.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely a bargain, as his little wife was quite upset.
When they returned to the Tang Sect, she was still unable to let go of it, and Gu Yu had to coax her for a long time before she finally smiled.
Although Gu Mengyao was skilled in martial arts and appeared to be a chivalrous woman, she was actually very meticulous in her thoughts.
Especially in some matters, her meticulousness was fully displayed.
For example, what the old monk Jiekong had said before had made Gu Mengyao directly fall into a dead end.
However, Gu Yu just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart at all.
He remembered that the people from the Royal Support Squad had said the same thing back then… they said that the Linfeng Kingdom needed him, this royal bloodline, and that the civilians could not do without him, this royal bloodline.
The constant mention of “royal bloodline” made Gu Yu very annoyed. Only that idiot Zhou Li was still happy, indulging in the dream of becoming the emperor of Linfeng Kingdom, unwilling to wake up.
He didn’t even consider how he would sit on the throne without anything!
Even with the support of the Royal Support Squad, vying with Bai Qian, that old fox, would only lead to a dead end.
Although Gu Yu was not afraid of Bai Qian, and with the help of space and the Medical Scripture, it would not be difficult to ascend the throne if he really wanted to… he was not interested.
There were many people like Zhou Li and Bai Qian who were passionate about power, but there were also people who did not value power.
For example, Gu Yu.
He truly had no intention of becoming emperor. Even if he were forced to ascend the throne, he would probably have the reputation of exploiting the common people.
Oh, and he would also have the title of a slacker who never attended the morning court.
Therefore, Gu Yu was too lazy to be emperor.
What could be more comfortable than staying at home, having a wife, a brother-in-law, and characters like Xi Yang and Xiao Hei, how lively!
Even if they begged him to be emperor, Gu Yu would not agree!
“Brother-in-law, haven’t the people from the Tang Sect been dealt with yet?”
“If the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect isn’t in a hurry, why are you?”
“I’m just curious! After all, these people ignored my plea for help back then, so I need to deal with them properly to quench my resentment.”
While Gu Yu was bored in his room, and was about to ask the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice to create a beautiful girl figure for him, his brother-in-law came to visit, disturbing Gu Yu’s peace.
This made Gu Yu roll his eyes speechlessly, and then hearing Gu Qingheng’s words again, he looked up at his serious expression, which didn’t seem fake, and didn’t keep him in suspense.
“It will take a few more days. It’s too time-consuming for Xi Yang to find them one by one! After they’ve been scared enough, we’ll teach them a lesson. Once they completely submit to the Sect Leader, we can go home.”
“Ah, so soon! I really don’t want to be separated from Sister Lian. I want to marry her now!”
“That depends on whether the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect is willing… By the way, I also wanted to prepare a fertility medicine for them. Wait a minute, I’ll deliver it to the Sect Leader’s Wife later.”
As he spoke, Gu Yu suddenly remembered that he needed to prepare medicine for the Sect Leader and his wife. Without delay, he quickly went into the space to get the required medicinal herbs and started making them on an empty table.
With the space, Gu Yu found it even more convenient to make medicine, and he could make it anytime, anywhere.
Just like now, it was done in minutes.
After Gu Qingheng left with the medicine with a mischievous smile, Gu Yu put the things back into the space, thinking whether he should take out the Golden Orchid wood and carve it, and make a sword sheath first.
Anyway, it wouldn’t take much effort for the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice to turn into the shape of a long sword, but the sheath that held it needed to be carefully crafted.
With that thought, Gu Yu didn’t bother with anything else and took out the Golden Orchid wood from the space, starting to carve it carefully.
…
Night.
It was supposed to be time for rest, but the rooms of the Tang Sect elders and protectors were brightly lit, and the people living in them had no intention of sleeping.
Their spirits were highly tense, and they had not slept well for three consecutive days.
The reason was none other than that monster!
It would come every night, not allowing them to rest.
If they were about to fall asleep, they would be woken up by a cold and sticky tail, and then upon opening their eyes, they would see that face that caused nightmares, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Even when morning came, they would still feel uneasy, fearing that they would encounter the monster again the next moment.
Among them, those who had tried to resist had their arms broken by the monster, and were tortured to the point of only having half a breath left.
Easily and without any resistance.
Although the Tang Sect had people of varying quality, such ease and effort were enough to prove the monster’s power!
This made the many elders and protectors of the Tang Sect realize that they must not provoke the monster, otherwise they would all be in vain!
As for why it came to torment them, the elders and protectors knew it clearly in their hearts, knowing that it was because of the Tianxiang Town matter that the monster had found them.
If they had known this would happen, they would never have raised any objections!
If they had obediently let the Sect Leader send people to rescue them, they would not have encountered such a situation!
But now, it was too late to say anything.
They should see if there was any way to remedy the situation so that they wouldn’t have to continue to suffer this inhuman torment and face the fear of the monster.
It was strange to say that the monster’s face had no features. Although it looked terrifying, it did not make people too afraid.
However, it gave people an evil feeling, causing their legs to tremble just by looking at it.
They dared not look a second time.
If Gu Yu knew their doubts, he could directly answer them… This was the malevolent energy from the elves at work, unlike Gu Mengyao, who could control it freely.
The elves did not control it very well, and there were occasional flaws.
After prolonged contact with the malevolent energy, it would affect people’s sanity.
“Sir, I beg you, please don’t torment me anymore! I will do anything you ask!”
“I’ll do anything…”
“Yes! Even if I have to go through mountains of swords and seas of oil, I won’t even blink an eye, as long as you don’t come looking for me again!”
Song Ji looked at the monster that appeared before him, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He immediately knelt down, bowed his head to the bluestone floor, and kowtowed until blood flowed.
He kowtowed continuously without stopping, as if he were going to die there.
The elf ‘looked’ at the person’s attitude and, remembering what Gu Yu had instructed, immediately reached a conclusion.
The matter was settled.
From now on, it didn’t need to come anymore.
“Very good, go find your Sect Leader tomorrow and apologize. You must get his complete forgiveness to quell my anger… and, in the future, do not disobey the Sect Leader’s opinions, otherwise I will come back to find you!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I will never disobey the Sect Leader again. If the Sect Leader tells me to go east, I will definitely not go west. I just beg you not to come looking for me again!!!”
Hearing the monster speak, Song Ji was overjoyed and continued to kowtow even harder.
He was finally liberated!
