Chapter 39: Life and Death are Light, If You Disagree, Fight.
If it weren’t for the fatigue from traveling, Gu Yu wouldn’t have chosen to solve the problem with money.
However, thinking that he could resolve the matter quickly, Gu Yu directly threw out a piece of silver, making those who wanted to make a move reconsider.
Generally speaking, martial artists are poor.
Even if they rob and pillage, they only target ordinary families. As for wealthy families… if these people dared to go, they would definitely be caught by guards.
Originally, Gu Yu thought it was very easy to rob wealthy families, as it had caused them great pain for a long time after he directly robbed the Wang Clan.
But Gu Yu was too naive.
Gu Yu could be so successful because he had the convenience of space, which allowed him to enter and leave other people’s homes without hindrance.
However, others did not have space.
Moreover, the wealthier the family, the more powerful the guards they hired.
Therefore, theft and robbery generally did not occur in wealthy families.
This resulted in martial artists still being penniless as usual after robbing ordinary families. The silver they obtained was all spent on drinking and gambling, and they had no silver left to show off.
In this regard, Yi Dian Hong and the swordsman were the most convincing evidence.
It was precisely because Gu Yu had perceived this that he used silver to resolve a fight in the inn.
Those who came to the town at this time were not just tourists. Therefore, these martial artists also regarded Gu Yu as someone observing the election of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader… When everyone was penniless, Gu Yu suddenly produced a large piece of silver, directly elevating his status and making everyone awe-struck.
Although Gu Yu did not look like someone who knew martial arts, he could not resist the presence of skilled practitioners accompanying him.
Like a moon surrounded by stars, his status and position were evident, making him even more feared.
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t they making a move! I heard storytellers say that at this time, some people would jump out as cannon fodder, then tell me, ‘What is a child playing at being a hero,’ and finally attack me!”
“Afterwards, you would defeat them one by one, achieving the achievement of a comeback, right?”
“Heh heh, brother-in-law, you understand me best!”
After settling at a table on the first floor of the inn, Gu Qingheng sat next to Gu Yu. Looking around, he found that no one dared to utter a single harsh word, which made Gu Qingheng very disappointed.
Hearing about the selection of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Gu Qingheng was extremely excited.
It should be known that the selection of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader was not an annual event, but a new selection conference could only be held after the previous leader was injured or retired.
Moreover, this time it was specifically kept secret from the imperial court.
This immediately made Gu Qingheng feel thrilled, and he became very interested in this alliance leader selection.
Seeing that it did not seem to be held immediately, Gu Qingheng prayed in his heart that the selection would not have started by the time they returned from searching for the treasure!!!
This way, he could witness the entire selection of the alliance leader and know who the new Martial Arts Alliance Leader would be!
However, Gu Qingheng felt that he could not just wait. Instead, he had to show off his might here.
That’s right, he had to show off his might.
Using the storytellers’ tales as an example, at this time, one had to display one’s strength and convince others… When they returned from the treasure hunt, they could use their status to occupy the front row seats, allowing Gu Qingheng to clearly see the entire scene.
He was serious about gossip!
Unfortunately, fate was not as he wished.
Gu Qingheng’s plan failed!
No one dared to come forward, as if they were intimidated by someone. This made Gu Qingheng really disappointed, thinking why these people were so timid and fearful!
Life and death are light, if you disagree, fight.
This is the creed of martial artists!
“You little brat, behave yourself. Our treasure hunt hasn’t ended yet, don’t cause trouble here.”
As if seeing through Gu Qingheng’s true thoughts, Gu Yu raised his hand and flicked his younger brother-in-law on the head. Gu Qingheng immediately exclaimed, “Ouch,” and quickly covered his red forehead.
Gu Qingheng really disliked his brother-in-law’s recent habit of flicking foreheads, feeling that it did not suit his heroic image at all.
He wasn’t a child anymore, so why flick his forehead!
Of course, the pain was also one of the reasons.
“Heh heh, brother-in-law, do I look like someone who looks for trouble? You’re overthinking it!”
“Hmph, I think you are the epitome of trouble!”
“Oh, brother-in-law, don’t bring up old grudges! I saw that the election of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader seemed very interesting, so I thought we could come and take a look after we finish searching for the treasure.”
Gu Qingheng naturally dared not speak out against his powerful brother-in-law, but the thought of watching the Martial Arts Alliance Leader selection here made Gu Qingheng’s face bloom into a smile. He was ready to plead with Gu Yu to return later.
Gu Qingheng truly did not want to miss the election of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader!
If he really watched it, when he saw Sister Lian’er later, he could tell Tang Lian everything he had seen, and at the same time receive her admiring gaze.
Just thinking about it made him feel wonderful!
However, when Gu Yu heard Gu Qingheng wanting to return, his eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.
But then, as if he had thought of something, Gu Yu’s furrowed brows relaxed.
He then nodded to Gu Qingheng, agreeing to his request.
“Okay, after we finish searching for the treasure, we’ll come and take a look… However, I cannot guarantee the duration of the treasure hunt or the speed of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader selection here.”
“Of course, I know that it’s a great visual feast just to have the opportunity to see it!”
Seeing Gu Yu actually agree, Gu Qingheng grinned, his fingers involuntarily making a victory gesture.
When he first asked, Gu Qingheng was also a little apprehensive.
After all, it was not only their group searching for treasure this time, but also many people following behind them.
If they returned to this small town after the treasure hunt, it would cause a lot of trouble… Of course, Gu Qingheng believed that his brother-in-law would not act without any benefit. His quick agreement must mean he had some plan in mind.
Gu Qingheng did not intend to pry into the details. He was already very happy that his request to return to watch the Martial Arts Alliance Leader selection was granted.
Besides, no matter how his brother-in-law schemed, it was ultimately for their own good.
Now, he was just waiting for tomorrow’s treasure hunt, hoping it would go smoothly.
Ideally, they would find the buried treasure immediately!
And avoid encountering any danger.
