Chapter 7
“Yo~”
Although Zhou Wen said Gu Yu was very powerful, some people still didn’t believe it.
So, one by one, they rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, ready for a night raid, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Gu Yu and Mengyao and get a large reward.
Of course, Gu Qingheng was not spared either, as quite a few people still targeted him for assassination.
Thus, the night was turbulent and uneasy.
By early the next morning, when the area outside the small town began to be crowded and lively, the inn was quiet with no sign of anyone.
This made the people who wanted to stay very curious. They stood at the door and called out for a long time, but no one responded. Only then did they, with their servants, step into the inn.
Then, they saw piles of corpses.
Beside these corpses, more than a dozen people were carrying the corpses down from the second floor without a sound, piling them up in the dining area on the first floor.
When these people saw someone coming in from outside, they didn’t seem to want to pay attention. Instead, their expressions were very ugly.
It was as if they had been subjected to repeated abuse by a hundred and eighty big men…
However, among these people, there was one person who was a little different from the others.
While everyone around had a mournful face, this person remained expressionless. Although it wasn’t a smile, he was very conspicuous among these people.
Because this person seemed unaffected and maintained his original appearance.
“Oh my god, did they kill someone?”
“With so many corpses, which wanted supervillain is this? No, I have to report… *sob sob*.”
“You guy, don’t drag us down if you want to die. I’m just here to visit, and I don’t want to cause any trouble. I’m leaving.”
“I’m leaving too, let’s get out of here quickly!”
The few people who had come in to stay were all scared to death after seeing so many corpses, and they didn’t stay in the inn for long before running away as fast as they could.
The strong men carrying the corpses in the inn did not stop them.
Even, a few of the strong men’s faces showed a hint of anticipation, hoping that these people would quickly report to the authorities!
If the government authorities could catch Gu Yu, the supervillain, who was under secret pressure from the masters in the capital, they might be able to have their bodies detoxified and no longer worry about their lives being in danger at any moment.
However, unfortunately, several groups of people who wanted to stay had come in and out.
But, until now, there was no sign of any government soldiers arriving, which made everyone in their hearts cry out in bitterness, thinking if the government officials were eating dry rice, why hadn’t they sent people to arrest Gu Yu yet!
“Alright, stop pinning your hopes on others. When I came back yesterday, I already told you that Gu Yu is terrifyingly powerful! These people who have become corpses are lying here motionless because they didn’t believe it.”
“Brother Zhou, we know how powerful he is now. Can we beg Lord Gu to let us go like a fart?”
When several people always looked towards the inn’s main entrance, Zhou Wen sighed helplessly and then told them not to look anymore.
Now, even if an immortal descended, they probably couldn’t be saved.
Originally, Zhou Wen was the one under the most pressure among the assassins, but now that half of them were dead or injured, Zhou Wen was no longer flustered.
So many people had died, and Gu Yu hadn’t let any of them go.
But he, Zhou Wen, survived Gu Yu yesterday, which proved that he was a special existence on Gu Yu’s side.
Everyone would die, but he wouldn’t die early.
At least, after playing his greatest role, he could talk about death.
As for the other survivors, they had not come into contact with Gu Yu, nor had they participated in yesterday’s assassination. So, when they woke up early in the morning and found the second floor full of corpses, they were all in a panic.
Especially, in front of the rooms where the Gu family members lived, there were so many corpses.
Seeing this situation, some people with active minds immediately thought of asking Zhou Wen.
Afterwards, Zhou Wen told these assassins what Gu Yu had told him yesterday.
When everyone heard that they had been poisoned yesterday, they immediately cursed and said that Gu Yu deserved to die and wished they could chop off Gu Yu’s head with a single knife.
However, the facts proved that they were just talking big.
No matter how fiercely they cursed, they would still have to rely on Gu Yu to resolve the poison in their bodies.
However, even with their feet, they could guess that Gu Yu would not give them the antidote.
Finally, one by one, they looked at Zhou Wen expectantly, wanting him to contact Gu Yu and detoxify them.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen shrugged helplessly, saying that the poison he had contracted had not yet been resolved, so how could Gu Yu give it to them?
Perhaps, as soon as they met, Gu Yu would attack, causing these assassins to die instantly.
Hearing Zhou Wen say this, the assassins panicked. The thought of leaving was brewing, but recalling the corpses that died on the second floor and thinking that they had been poisoned, now even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they could not get rid of the toxins in their bodies.
Unless, they got the antidote from Gu Yu!
Otherwise, who knew if they would die of poisoning immediately after leaving the inn’s vicinity.
Thus, at Zhou Wen’s suggestion, everyone began to clean up the corpses on the second floor, wanting to beg Gu Yu to be merciful and detoxify their bodies!
After this inexplicable poisoning incident, quite a few assassins had retreated, no longer wanting any connection with the Gu family.
If they wanted to kill the Gu family members and earn generous rewards, they also had to see if they had the life to spend!
However, this also proved from another angle… that the Gu family was difficult to deal with and very dangerous, otherwise, they would not have offered such generous rewards.
Gu Yu, who had never shown that he knew poison, was fine if he didn’t make a move, but once he made a move, he immediately broke the courage of the assassins, making them dare not be his enemy.
To be kidding, even a competition with real swords and guns was much better than offending a poison master.
After all, many poison masters could cause people to die with a wave of their sleeves.
If they had known earlier that Gu Yu of the Gu family was a poison master, no matter how much reward those masters in the capital offered, they would not have had the whimsical idea of wanting to kill Gu family members to get rewards.
Now, the assassins only hoped that Gu Yu would be lenient and let them go like a fart!
They already knew they were wrong.
“Yo~ You guys are up pretty early, not bad, very diligent!”
Just as everyone was thinking about how to get Gu Yu to detoxify them, Gu Yu’s voice suddenly sounded from the second floor, causing the many assassins to immediately look up at the second floor.
