Chapter 18: Only Him
Originally, Gu Qingheng just wanted to find an excuse to deal with these two people, but he never imagined… he would hear a scary ghost story now.
This made Gu Qingheng feel like his hair was standing on end, and he backed away a few steps fearfully until he was close to Gu Yu, then he finally felt relieved.
His brother-in-law was more terrifying than ghosts, and those ghosts and monsters would definitely not dare to come near!
“Wasn’t that corpse thrown down from the platform by you?”
“No, I can assure you! Because when I was sleeping, the entire mortuary didn’t even have a single corpse, so how could I have just thrown it around casually!”
“That’s strange. I saw several corpses lying around messily on the ground, and I thought you pervert were desecrating corpses…”
“Hey, hey, hey, you can eat freely, but you can’t speak freely! Although I, Yi Dian Hong, like to barge into widow’s doors, I have no interest in corpses!”
Not only Gu Qingheng was scared, but also the Plains Yi Dian Hong and Kuang Ba Dao Ke were as well. The two of them only now realized that they had made a big blooper.
Furthermore, it was related to the corpses in the mortuary.
This was a bit creepy.
Recently, they had only heard about various corpses being lost, but they hadn’t heard about extra corpses appearing!
“Since we can’t explain it clearly, why don’t the two of us go to the mortuary again? That way, my reputation as Yi Dian Hong won’t be damaged, and you can be a witness. Afterwards, you can follow me to have a good talk with Xiao Mei from Cui Tower about how brave I am!”
“Hmph, fine, who’s afraid of whom.”
Afterwards, listening to the words of Plains Yi Dian Hong and Kuang Ba Dao Ke, Gu Yu looked at the two of them with a half-smile, watching them play roles in a skit together. He thought about how these two guys were quite clever, actually putting on a show in front of him!
Although the matter of extra corpses in the mortuary didn’t seem fake, what they were saying now was just an excuse to leave.
They dared to stop him, Gu Yu, and still wanted to get away unscathed? Dream on!
“Qingheng, give these two poison pills to those two people.”
“Mm.”
Immediately, Gu Yu didn’t wait any longer and directly threw the two poison pills in his hand to Gu Qingheng.
They still had to move forward. These two people could be used to block the front and see if they could prevent being stopped again.
Just by hearing their famous names, they might be good shields.
However, Plains Yi Dian Hong and Kuang Ba Dao Ke, who were being used as shields by Gu Yu, couldn’t help but feel bitter when they heard the words “poison pills.” They never expected Gu Yu to be a poison master.
If they had known this earlier, they would have just fought honestly. Why provoke such a terrifying guy!
After taking the poison pills, who knew what they would be made to do…
Such a thing, they respectfully declined!
Thinking of this, before Gu Qingheng could walk over and force the pills into their mouths, Plains Yi Dian Hong made the first move. His kneeling posture instantly changed, and his feet began to move like the wind as he quickly ran to the left, preparing to use his proud lightness skill to escape.
Although Gu Qingheng was amazing, his lightness skill was even stronger!
To catch him, you’d have to wait until the next life!
Happily thinking about these things, Yi Dian Hong’s foot speed increased, deciding that after escaping, he would immediately go find Xiao Mei from Cui Tower to have some fun.
As for the strangeness of the mortuary?
Who would want to investigate that!
In the Jianghu, anything could happen. Yi Dian Hong was also aware of incidents of lost corpses, but he wasn’t blinded by the huge reward.
Being able to hide from so many people’s eyes, there must be a great force behind the disappearance of the corpses.
Being alone, it was better for him to cause less trouble.
Next time, let alone making a bet, even if his long-dead father crawled out of his grave and dragged him to the mortuary, he wouldn’t go! Absolutely not!
“Whoosh”
Just as Plains Yi Dian Hong was fleeing quickly, a distinct whistling sound suddenly appeared.
This made Yi Dian Hong’s footsteps falter a bit, and he didn’t continue to advance at his original speed.
However, at this very moment, he suddenly saw a piece of broken silver directly pierce through the large tree in front of him, leaving a light-passing hole.
If Plains Yi Dian Hong hadn’t hesitated and continued to run, the one being pierced would have been his body, not the tree.
Seeing this scene, although Yi Dian Hong wanted to keep running, his reason told him that he had to stop.
This time it was the tree, next time it would be him.
Who exactly were those three people riding horses, they were incredibly powerful!
He had run such a long distance, and this piece of broken silver could still fly over, which was too magical!
Oh my god, why should I escape? I should just obediently go back!
Realizing that he couldn’t possibly leave, Yi Dian Hong no longer held out hope of escaping and returned dejectedly.
Subsequently, after Gu Qingheng punched Plains Yi Dian Hong twice, giving him black eyes, he then fed the poison pill in his hand to Yi Dian Hong.
As for Kuang Ba Dao Ke, who was on the side, he had long been subdued obediently, and the poison pill had already dissolved in his body.
Just as Yi Dian Hong used his lightness skill to leave, Kuang Ba Dao Ke also wanted to leave, but he was forcibly subdued by Gu Qingheng, without any ability to fight back.
Originally, Kuang Ba Dao Ke had hoped to use Yi Dian Hong to attract attention, but who knew… Gu Qingheng completely ignored Yi Dian Hong, who was leaving, and focused on dealing with him.
It was the woman who had been sitting on the horse without speaking who suddenly threw a piece of broken silver in the direction Yi Dian Hong had fled.
Seeing this, Kuang Ba Dao Ke felt uncomfortable.
Even if this woman was an immortal descending to earth, she couldn’t possibly hit Yi Dian Hong from such a long distance.
In the end, the only one left was him.
This made Kuang Ba Dao Ke feel aggrieved like a 200-jin child, thinking about how unlucky he was!
However, upon seeing Yi Dian Hong return by himself and get beaten up, this grievance immediately turned into gloating, causing the corners of his mouth to turn upwards, and he didn’t even care that he had also ingested the poison pill.
“Alright, giving you poison pills is just an extra layer of insurance. As long as you can prove your worth, I will let you go later.”
Seeing the lifeless expressions of Plains Yi Dian Hong and Kuang Ba Dao Ke, Gu Yu smiled slightly and didn’t say much, only stating that if they performed well, there would be antidotes.
After all, he, Gu Yu, was not a bad person.
“Master, please rest assured, I will serve you well. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken!”
“Me too, as long as Master commands, I will do it well!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, the two who thought their lives were about to end had their eyes light up, and then they patted their chests and spoke, almost taking a poisonous oath.
However, Gu Yu was not someone who easily believed others, so he just smiled and continued to ride forward.
A lot of time had been wasted, and it was getting late. It was better to hurry forward and see if there was a place to rest.
“Master! There’s a small town ahead, please let me lead the way!”
Before Gu Yu could speak, Plains Yi Dian Hong immediately spoke up. After he spoke, Kuang Ba Dao Ke gritted his teeth, secretly regretting that he didn’t have Yi Dian Hong’s quick wit.
Just by looking at the satisfied expression on Gu Yu’s face, he, Kuang Ba Dao Ke, had fallen behind!
