Chapter 255 The Martial World (Part 3)
Gu Congxin stood smugly on the tree branch, his eyes gleaming with mockery.
Then, the branches beneath his feet froze instantly, freezing him to death as well.
Gu Congxin's smugness froze on his face.
Meanwhile, the little kid below slowly stood up, his aura shifting, his gloom dissipating and transforming into warmth.
That was Lu Lingjun himself.
Damn.
I've kicked a weight.
Lu Lingjun's thin frame grew rapidly, turning into a young man, and he smiled as he opened the barrier set up by Gu Yanjing.
Gu Congxin shivered in the tree, unable to even wash her nose, and could only listen to the sounds coming from inside the house with a stern face.
Damn it, what a beast!
Gu Yan was fast asleep and didn't know when Lu Lingjun left. When he woke up, it was already noon, and the light outside the window was so bright it was almost blinding.
He raised his hand to shield his eyes, and couldn't help but support his lower back as he got out of bed.
Ouch, I feel a bit uncomfortable.
After tidying everything up, Gu Yanjing pushed open the door and immediately saw Gu Congxin frozen solid in the tree. He casually flicked out a flame and released the frozen Gu Congxin.
"Can't even keep an eye on the door, what a useless piece of trash."
Gu Congxin fell to the ground with a thud, shivering from the cold. His fur had been roasted, and he could even smell the meat.
"Even His Majesty couldn't control himself. The marks on His Majesty's neck are really red. Did a dog bite him?"
Gu Congxin flapped his wings tremblingly, trying to extinguish the fire above.
Unfortunately, its entire body was frozen stiff. It tried to fan itself but couldn't extinguish the flames. It lay stiffly on the ground, giving up struggling.
He might as well be burned to death; he'd lost everything anyway, even his obsession with going back had vanished.
"You've been quite interesting lately. Since you're so bored, why don't you go keep Nan Wan'er company?" Gu Yanjing's smile vanished instantly. Staring at Gu Congxin lying dead on the ground, he kicked the bird away.
What a piece of trash. Why bother arguing with him?
No one in this world can be sentimental with him.
Gu Yan was surprised and called for a maid to come and serve him breakfast. Then he asked about the situation of Wenzhi Hall, which belonged to his eldest son Feng Lanzhi.
"Young Master hasn't woken up since the accident yesterday. Madam has been keeping watch over him. Would you like to go and check on him?"
A maid stood to one side, serving food to Gu Yanjing in a soft voice.
"No need. How is Su Youyi?" Gu Yanjing looked at the food in his bowl, feeling somewhat unappetized.
The marks on his neck had faded, but he still felt the pain of being bitten so hard.
"The young master has always been afraid of thunder. He was frightened last night and developed a fever overnight, but he has taken medicine and is feeling better now." The maid didn't take Su Youyi to heart.
Everyone in Fengming Sect knows that the young master Feng Lanzhi is the sect leader's darling, while Su Youyi is just the child left behind by the sect leader's deceased senior brother. She has no parents, and although the sect leader raises this child, he doesn't care much about her.
Gu Yanjing nodded casually, and went to see Su Youyi after finishing his meal.
Last night, Lu Lingjun forcibly accelerated the growth of that clone, making it...
I wonder if this child's body can withstand it.
Lu Lingjun's main soul had already left, leaving only a wisp of his avatar to control Su Youyi.
When Gu Yanjing arrived, Su Youyi was still fast asleep, with a nearly dry cloth casually draped over her head, and a basin of water on her bedside table.
There was no one in the room; it seemed that Su Youyi was taking care of herself.
"Where are the servants in this room? Are they all dead?" Gu Yanjing looked at the dry, chapped skin on the little brat's lips, and his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Sect Master, please forgive me. I heard that the young master's side was short-handed, so the madam transferred the people from the courtyard there."
The two maids who had followed Gu Yanjing were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and stammered an explanation.
"Go get a glass of water and find a doctor." Gu Yanjing raised his hand and pressed it against the brat's mouth. It was dry, covered in dead skin, and rough to the touch.
I suddenly feel like picking at my dead skin.
Gu Yanjing resisted the urge to touch Su Youyi's forehead, took the handkerchief off, wet it, wrung it out, and then placed it on the little brat's forehead.
"Sect Master, let me do it. How can I let you do this?" The maid was so frightened when she saw Gu Yanjing make a move that she immediately kowtowed to him.
"Master, the tea is here. This servant will feed the young master some water." Another maid knelt back with water in her hands, trembling with fear, and spilled some of it.
"I'm here, you may leave." Gu Yanjing coldly took the tea and glanced back at Su Youyi, who kept her mouth tightly shut.
trouble.
Gu Yan frowned, pinched Su Youyi's cheek, forced her to open her mouth, and then forced her to drink a mouthful of tea.
The maid was completely dumbfounded by this unrestrained way of feeding him.
I'm not afraid of this, but I'm afraid people will choke to death.
Is the sect leader feeding someone water or poison?
Sure enough, Su Youyi, who was sleeping soundly, choked in a minute. Startled, Gu Yanjing quickly helped her up, stiffly patted the little boy's back, and calmed her down.
Don't let them kill you.
If Lu Lingjun is killed, he's probably going to cause trouble again.
"Go and bring back all the servants in Zhufeng Courtyard. Have them kneel outside and await my judgment."
Gu Yanjing calmed Su Youyi down and put her down.
Gu Yan stared at the little brat's lips, his fingers twitching, emmmm
When Su Youyi woke up that night, her mouth was extremely dry. She tried to move her mouth, but the pain brought tears to her eyes.
What's going on? Why does it feel like a layer of my lips has been ripped off? They're so dry they're all stuck together.
Outside, Gu Yanjing sat in a chair, slowly watching the servants who had been kneeling for two hours, and picked up his teacup to take a sip.
"Who led the way to Wenzhi Hall today?" Gu Yanjing placed his teacup on the table beside him, his face icy cold and looking extremely unapproachable.
They seem even more difficult to approach than before.
The servants knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not utter a word.
"Not going to talk? Since no one is going to talk, then there's no need to say anything more. Take the indenture and sell them all."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes in surprise and caught sight of Bai Mengxian and her maidservant rushing over from afar. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Oh.
This is the first time I've been cheated on.
That was really well done.
"What do you mean by this, my husband? I feel that these servants have not done anything wrong. It is not appropriate to sell them off like this. It will give rise to gossip."
Bai Mengxian walked into the courtyard and bowed to Gu Yanjing, much better than her recklessness yesterday.
She probably sensed that Gu Yanjing wasn't treating her well, and no longer dared to act arrogantly as she had before.
“When has the Phoenix Cry Sect ever needed to consider what others say? Throw him out.” Gu Yanjing’s expression remained unchanged as he glanced at the head steward who had rushed over to await orders.
The head steward immediately and cleverly retrieved the indentures of these people, and also brought the guards from the gate to take them away.
"You may all leave. I have something to say to my wife." Gu Yan glanced at the group of servants who were sitting with their eyes downcast and dismissed them all.
"My lord, have Lan'er and I done something wrong that has made you despise us? Lan'er had an accident yesterday, and you haven't even gone to see her once. You even let the divine doctor go. What are we going to do with our Lan'er?"
Seeing that the servants had all left, Bai Mengxian immediately began her performance, holding a handkerchief to her eyes and looking at Gu Yanjing with a tearful expression.
Those watery eyes, like pear blossoms in the rain, were so captivating that they could melt anyone's heart.
Unfortunately, Gu Yanjing was a man who preferred men and was not interested in this at all.
He even wondered whether he should laugh or not if Lu Lingjun cried like that in front of him.
I think it's better to just laugh.
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to Lu Lingjun's face.
"Is my husband listening to me? Am I old and faded, and no longer pleasing to you?"
Bai Mengxian almost couldn't suppress the ruthlessness in her eyes when she saw Gu Yanjing clearly distracted.
Which little vixen managed to steal Feng Wuyai's heart?
"Knowing you're getting old and losing your looks, you shouldn't be crying like this. It's unsightly." Gu Yanjing looked away.
She's not even as good-looking as Lu Lingjun, yet she dares to call herself the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world.
How much water must be in that?
"Husband, how can you speak to me like that?" Bai Mengxian was stunned, forgetting even to cry.
Saying you're ugly is a completely different matter from your husband saying you're ugly.
What woman can stand being told she's old and unattractive?
Moreover, someone as proud as Bai Mengxian has never neglected the care of her face for even a single day.
Gu Yanjing felt disgusted by this sight.
She's even more cloying than Lu Lingjun when he tries to seduce me.
"Shut up. From now on, you are not allowed to call me your husband. You know my relationship with you, and you also know whose blood your son is. I don't mind taking care of you two anymore, but you two had better be smart and stay obediently in the Hall of Inquiry, and don't hang around in front of me."
"Is it because of Su Youyi that you're going to abandon Lan'er? Have you forgotten that you watched Lan'er grow up? You once said that you would treat Lan'er as your own daughter and that you would treat me well. Now, at just over ten years old, have you already forgotten all of that?"
Bai Mengxian felt a tightness in her chest from what was said, and for a moment, she lost control and spoke without thinking.
"It's all because of Su Youyi. If I kill Su Youyi, will you be able to put me and Lan'er in your heart again?"
At this point, Bai Mengxian suddenly looked at the house behind Gu Yanjing.
Su Youyi lives there.
The little animal is sick and hasn't woken up yet.
This is the best time to kill that little beast.
Gu Yan caught a glimpse of the madness in Bai Mengxian's eyes, his face turned cold, and he directly threw Bai Mengxian to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.
"There's something else I forgot to tell you. You can't touch Su Youyi. He's my eldest disciple, my only disciple, and he'll be the one to inherit my Phoenix Cry Sect in the future. If you dare to touch him, I won't hesitate to mess with your precious son."
Gu Yanjing stood up and looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground, looking disheveled and miserable.
Who would have thought that just moments ago this woman was so aloof and beautiful, as flamboyant as a flower?
"Feng Wuyai, you've gone mad, you've gone mad, you've changed, you don't love me anymore." Bai Mengxian stared into Gu Yanjing's eyes.
There wasn't a ripple in his eyes, no matter how disheveled or injured he was.
Why.
He wasn't like this before.
Previously, he would deliver anything she wanted to her; she was the most important person to Feng Wuyai.
For her sake, he even treated Lan'er as his own daughter.
Why has it turned out this way?
"I never loved you. Get out of here. In the future, I can pretend you don't exist while you're in the Hall of Inquiry."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes in surprise.
Bai Mengxian got up, sobbing, and said a harsh word: "I hate you, Feng Wuyai. You wait, I will kill you sooner or later."
Gu Yanjing scoffed at this.
And yet you still want to kill him?
Even if Gu Yuan came, he might not be able to kill him.
You stupid piece of crap.
Hiding behind the door, Su Youyi overheard their conversation. He forgot the pain in his mouth and his mind was filled with thoughts of his master protecting him, abandoning his wife and child just to protect him.
Is he also the most important person to Master?
It's like he considers his master the most important person.
He could feel that today, it was his master who was taking care of him.
"You're awake?" Gu Yan opened the door in surprise, looking at the little brat squatting on the ground, and resisted the urge to kick him away.
This little brat is staring at Lu Lingjun's face when he was a child, doing some outrageous things. No matter how you look at him, he deserves a beating.
"Master, am I the most important person to you?" Su Youyi nodded, looking up at Gu Yanjing with eyes full of expectation.
"No," Gu Yanjing denied without changing his expression.
"Then who is the most important person to Master?" Su Youyi's face immediately fell, his originally mature expression turned aggrieved, and tears welled up in his eyes.
So, it turns out he was just deluding himself?
“Naturally, it’s myself.” Gu Yanjing lowered his head and smiled.
Seeing the little kid's teary eyes made him feel much better.
"So it was Master himself? Then who is Master's second most important person? Is it your disciple?" Su Youyi's eyes lit up again, and she looked at Gu Yanjing expectantly.
"No, not exactly." Gu Yanjing denied it again, sounding quite malicious.
The second one must be his older brother.
I've heard that things are very bad in the Heavenly Realm right now. I wonder how my brother is doing.
"No, then what about the third one?" Is it him?
Gu Yanjing didn't answer, and turned to leave.
Su Youyi watched Gu Yanjing's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
So, he was the third most important person to his master?
That seems good, but when will he be able to squeeze out the second person and become the second most important person to his master, or even the most important person?
Humans are so greedy; once they get a little bit of light, they want all the sunshine.
On the other side, Nan Wan'er, who had received Gu Congxin's message, found a hemp rope and tied it around Gu Congxin's ankles.
Gu Congxin kept flapping his wings, smearing Nan Wan'er's face with dust.
Nan Wan'er was so angry that she had Tun Tian hold him down, then tied a rope around Gu Congxin's neck and dragged him along the official road.
