Chapter 56: Deciding to Wade into Muddy Waters



After taking the Resurrection Pill, Kru's body underwent visible changes.

About a quarter of an hour later, Kru slowly opened his eyes.

"Am I dead?"

"How can you die? I'm here, even the King of Hell can't take you away!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"I'm alive?"

"Yeah, still alive."

His blurry eyes gradually became clear, and Kru could see the person in front of him clearly.

"Sir, it's really you! I thought I was dreaming!" Kru hurriedly stood up and was about to kneel down.

"No! We are all family, there is no need for these complicated formalities."

Holding Kru with both hands, Gu Yuan helped him up.

"Come and see how you are doing?"

"Ah? Sir, what did you give me to eat? I feel that not only has the negative impact of the forbidden technique disappeared, but my strength seems to have increased a lot."

Feeling the changes in his body, Kru said excitedly.

"Haha, I'm glad you can recover."

Gu Yuan did not explain. He used fifteen years of his own life in exchange for ten years of his life.

Of course, Gu Yuan did not feel any imbalance in his heart. This was what he should do. If Kru died, he might feel guilty for the rest of his life.

As for the fact that Kru only has ten years to live, Gu Yuan thought about it and decided not to tell him for now. He would find a way to extend Kru's life later.

"By the way, have you been staying here all this time?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Yes, that man chased me for the whole night. I exhausted my energy, blood and lifespan several times before I got rid of him. Finally, I decided to come back. After all, the most dangerous place is also the safest." Kru said.

"You said Shui Ningye and that person said they wanted to use Shui Yaoyao as bait to lure the Lin family into taking action?"

"Yes, it seems that the Lin family has become a major concern for the current emperor."

"How much do you know about the Lin family's background?" Gu Yuan asked.

"The Lin family, that's a very legendary family."

Mentioning the Lin family, Kelu beamed with joy as he said, "The Lin family's former patriarch, Lin Tianpo, was the founder of our Beast Taming City. It was he who led 100,000 elite troops from the imperial capital and repelled the beast tide in one fell swoop. That's how we came to have Beast Taming City and the peaceful and prosperous times we have today."

"Oh, so this Lin family is the family of General Lin Tianpo..."

Gu Yuan nodded. He had heard the legend of Lin Tianpo since he was a child. At that time, he longed to be a general like Lin Tianpo.

"Of course, apart from his family, who else in the Lin family could make the current emperor so afraid that he would want to eliminate them?"

Kru curled his lips and said helplessly.

"But the question is, are they so sure that the Lin family will take action against them? What if the Lin family doesn't take action? Wouldn't that be a miscalculation?" Gu Yuan asked.

"I don't know about that, but since they said so, they must have heard something."

"Alright, don't show up in public these days, and don't use that forbidden technique, or even I won't be able to save you."

Gu Yuan patted Kru's shoulder and said.

"Well, but where are you going, sir?"

"I still have some things to do. If you want to find me later, you can go to Xunhuan Tower to find Miss Jiujiu. If there is nothing special, I will tell her my whereabouts."

"Okay, then be careful, sir."

"Well, okay! I'll be leaving first then."

Nodding, Gu Yuan quickly left and returned to his residence in the darkness.

After not returning for more than half a month, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Once he entered the world of cultivation, he would no longer have a home. He had to go wherever he could become stronger.

After closing the door, Gu Yuan lay on the bed and fell asleep. Half a month of fighting had made him extremely nervous and exhausted.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Gu Yuan got up refreshed.

"Well, I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time."

After stretching, Gu Yuan sat down again.

"Shui Ningye is going to use Shui Yaoyao as bait to lure the Lin family into action, and then they must have set an ambush. No, that guy's guards almost beat Kelu to death. No matter what I say, I can't let them have their way."

"Besides, Mr. Lin is my idol. He is a model soldier and a great contributor to the entire Shuihan Empire. Three generations of his family have sacrificed so much to guard the border. How dare you, a dog emperor, want to get rid of the Lin family?"

Although Gu Yuan had never met Lin Tianpo, he had been influenced by him since he was a child, and almost everyone he came into contact with admired the old man.

"But what can I, a seventh-level spiritual disciple, do? Or maybe I'd better not get myself into trouble!"

"But even if it's not for the old man, what about Shui Yaoyao? Such a lovely and beautiful girl, if anything happens to her, I will be heartbroken!"

Gu Yuan had a bitter face. He felt a little distressed when he thought of Shui Yaoyao, the cute little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

I wonder what she would do when she finds out that her brother is using her like this.

"Forget it, I have a system. The worst that can happen to me is that I can just run away."

Gu Yuan made up his mind to get involved in this mess.

On the fourth floor of Xunhuan Tower, Gu Shang stood in front of the bed, looking at Lin Wan'er who was still sleeping.

"Master, when will Junior Sister wake up?"

Han Ji stared at Lin Wan'er lying on the bed and asked worriedly.

"Junior sister? I haven't agreed to be your disciple yet, and you're calling me that now?" Gu Shang said with a helpless smile.

"Hehe, it's her great fortune that a figure like the Master wants to accept her as a disciple. Others wouldn't even bother thinking about it, let alone refusing."

Gu Shang smiled and shook his head. His disciple was really smooth-talking.
