Chapter 43: Some cravings
Gu Yu’s ability to poison someone in minutes truly shocked everyone else.
Especially since Gu Yu didn’t make any unnecessary moves, it was as if the deceased man had willingly sought death.
It was at this moment that some members of the Tianjue Organization truly realized… Gu Yu was a formidable character, not like ordinary people, which was why their Esteemed Master valued him so highly.
You must know that before, when their Esteemed Master sent one of them to impersonate someone to approach Gu Yu, some people secretly thought their Esteemed Master was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Why would someone like Gu Yu, who had no martial arts skills, require such caution!
No matter how potent the poison was, there would always be a moment to act. As soon as Gu Yu made a move, their Esteemed Master would undoubtedly be able to counterattack immediately.
However, with the death of the imposter, Gu Yu’s power and his unprovokable nature were directly proven to everyone.
When the Tianjue Esteemed Master saw that the person he had sent had died, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he became even more wary of Gu Yu in his heart.
Originally, the Tianjue Esteemed Master thought he had already paid enough attention to Gu Yu, but now it seemed it was still not enough!
He needed to elevate Gu Yu’s danger level to the highest category, ranking him first alongside Gu Mengyao.
There was even a subtle trend of him surpassing Gu Mengyao.
After all, no matter how unfathomable Gu Mengyao’s martial arts were, she wouldn’t have Gu Yu’s great killing power.
The profession of a poison master was truly terrifying!
Because poison masters could directly use the effects of poison to launch area-of-effect attacks, causing countless people to die from poison.
This was also why the Tianjue Esteemed Master did not want to deal with Gu Yu. He was precisely worried about unknowingly being poisoned, in which case, let alone competing with Gu Yu for treasure, he would probably have to worry about his own life.
With this in mind, the Tianjue Esteemed Master immediately issued an order, instructing his subordinates to restrain their behavior recently and not to provoke Gu Yu and the others easily.
Wait for a few days.
First, let’s see what new discoveries the Gu family makes. Then, they can reap the benefits.
Also, remember to intercept all the killers and death warriors to prevent the treasure hunt from being disrupted.
…
“Sister, my brother-in-law seems a bit lonely, shall I go accompany him?”
“Lonely? You’re just craving food! Let me tell you upfront, the food your brother-in-law took has poison on it. If you accidentally eat it, you might vomit blood and die.”
While searching for the treasure, Gu Qingheng didn’t bother searching elsewhere. Instead, he stayed by Gu Mengyao’s side, talking about how Gu Yu was too lonely.
With Yi Dian Hong and the other two doing the heavy lifting, he and his sister were not needed at all, so he was bored and followed behind, chatting.
After Gu Mengyao saw through Gu Qingheng’s intentions with a single glance, Gu Qingheng chuckled and didn’t refute what Gu Mengyao said.
He was indeed a little greedy.
Especially that fragrant roasted chicken, it smelled so good!
However, upon hearing that there was poison on it, Gu Qingheng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He hadn’t expected his brother-in-law to be so extreme!
He even put poison in his food. He wouldn’t dare to eat with his brother-in-law in the future!
Also, what kind of strange habit is this???
Does he think he’s lived too long, to do things like smearing poison on food and then eating it himself.
Even test subjects weren’t this crazy.
“Alas, it’s actually because I’m bored. Our group is all here, but we left brother-in-law there alone. That’s really not right! At least, someone should go accompany him, so brother-in-law isn’t lonely!”
“Alright, stop pretending. Your brother-in-law is staying there because he has something to do, not for any other reason.”
“He has something to do?”
“Don’t you know yet? Ah Yu is planning to stay there these few days to delay time for us, waiting for the enemies to appear, and then deter them from acting prematurely. During this period, we need to quickly find the treasure so we can avoid these dangers.”
Without letting Gu Qingheng be smug any longer, Gu Mengyao directly explained the reason Gu Yu stayed behind, so that Gu Qingheng wouldn’t continue to think Gu Yu was just trying to be lazy and not accompanying them.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingheng was immediately startled, not knowing there was such a thing.
He had thought his brother-in-law was trying to slack off!
His guess was wrong this time.
“Alright, we need to act quickly too… Before we set off this time, your brother-in-law told me that he would try his best to create as much trouble as possible these few days to delay time for us! Therefore, we can’t be outdone. From now on, we need to search the land thoroughly and not miss any suspicious places.”
Thinking of her little husband having to deal with so many people coming to their door, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. She immediately stopped being a bystander and joined the search party.
This made Gu Qingheng speechless, thinking he wouldn’t have a good time these few days.
His brother-in-law was a devil. Even if he wasn’t here, he could still make him so tired.
However, there was no way around it. Now that things had become like this, no matter how much he complained inwardly, it wouldn’t change anything. So, he quickly began to check and see if there were any special places around.
Whether they could return to the small town to watch the selection competition for the Martial Arts Alliance Leader depended on whether they could find the treasure soon in these few days!
You must know that the selection competition for the Martial Arts Alliance Leader was starting in the next few days!
Miss this opportunity, and you’ll never get it again!
With these thoughts, Gu Qingheng immediately walked to the left, preparing to see if there was anything strange nearby.
Seeing that her brother had made his choice, Gu Mengyao headed directly to the right, hoping her luck would be good.
Hopefully, she could find the treasure quickly!
This way, she could return to her little husband’s side as soon as possible and personally protect his safety.
“You are Gu Mengyao, hahaha, the bounty from the capital, I Hu Han have taken it for sure.”
Just as Gu Mengyao arrived at the right side alone to check, a loud voice suddenly rang out, causing Gu Mengyao to subconsciously knit her brows. She hadn’t expected someone to find her so quickly.
However, just by looking at the intruder’s attire and appearance, Gu Mengyao immediately concluded that this person was not from the Tianjue Organization.
After training, the members of the Tianjue Organization were issued uniforms and equipment uniformly, so they looked much more neat.
This person, on the other hand, was disheveled, and his clothing was like cheap street goods, making it impossible to tell how powerful he was.
However, since he was able to come here without being discovered by the Tianjue Organization, it proved that this person still had some skill.
Unfortunately, he encountered Gu Mengyao.
