Chapter 132 Yicheng Trial 13 It's hard to say whether Gong Shiyu and his old man...
It's hard to say whether Gong Shiyu or his father was more disgusting; it depends on the perspective, and each has their own kind of disgustingness.
One is willing to take lives at will for the sake of saving face, and doesn't even care much about his own children, using them as weapons; the other is always thinking about his lower body, and when he sees a pretty woman, he thinks about how to take her into his own room.
It's no wonder that in the original story, although Gong Shiyu followed the male protagonist early and had high combat strength, he was never able to become the most favored among Chu Xingjin's many subordinates, after all, this person was not very bright.
The attendant did not choose to continue arguing with Gongshi Yu, after all, he was just an attendant.
He simply reminded her gently, "Young Master Yu, whatever you intended to do with Xie Jiaoyue before, you have now used poison on her. That poison is extremely potent; once you come into contact with it, it will cause excruciating pain that makes life worse than death. You and Xie Jiaoyue have now become enemies."
Even if they aren't mortal enemies, they're at least half-mortal enemies, making it difficult for them to continue living peacefully, and it's hard for them to just have minor squabbles like before.
He was the Grand Elder's attendant, and all his actions were for the Grand Elder's sake, not for Gong Shiyu's. As long as he could complete the tasks assigned by the Grand Elder, it wouldn't matter if he slightly ignored Gong Shiyu's thoughts.
After the attendant finished speaking, he quietly retreated.
What follows is likely a battle of wits among some powerful figures, something a mere servant like him can't possibly participate in. It would be better to quietly conceal himself and leave.
Gong Shiyu had no time to pay attention to the servants' thoughts or whereabouts. He realized with horror that Pianxian, that devilish girl, had just given Xie Jiaoyue the antidote, and Xie Jiaoyue had probably regained her mobility.
Xie Jiaoyue must hate him to the core now.
Can he...can he beat Xie Jiaoyue?
Is it too late for him to start running now?
No! He cannot back down! Even if it's to avenge the Lord of Chu, he cannot back down!
He is the biological son of the Grand Elder of the Gongshi Clan. Most of the resources of the Gongshi Clan in this generation have been poured into him, while Xie Jiaoyue is just the daughter of the small Xie Clan, and is only a vessel for cultivation. Now, her strength has been weakened by poison. He will definitely be able to defeat Xie Jiaoyue!
He released his spiritual sense to investigate and saw Xie Jiaoyue supporting herself on the ground with one hand holding a sword. Her whole body was blood red and her face was blurred, clearly in great pain.
Gong Shiyu made up his mind, took an antidote pill, took out his weapon, and charged towards Xie Jiaoyue while carrying the poisonous mist.
If he seizes the initiative, he will definitely be able to render Xie Jiaoyue powerless to resist!
Gong Shiyu was a Dharma cultivator. A faint red light emanated from the metal fan in his hand, and a bright red fireball rushed straight towards Xie Jiaoyue's face.
Wherever the firelight reached, the originally pitch-black poisonous fog was swallowed up by the firelight, and the fireball was also tinged with black mist, the black and red intertwined, making its attack power even stronger.
Seeing that Xie Jiaoyue was still standing still, Gong Shiyu began to feel smug. Sure enough, he was sure he could win Xie Jiaoyue over in one fell swoop.
A mere cauldron dares to try and trample on him and the Chu ruler? Dream on!
As the fireball engulfed Xie Jiaoyue's head, Gong Shiyu couldn't help but smile.
Just then, the fireball disappeared.
A black and red fireball coiled around Xie Jiaoyue's translucent longsword, which gleamed with golden light, like a venomous snake tightly coiling around its prey, trying its best to strangle it.
The venomous snake gradually lost its strength and eventually melted into the longsword, disappearing without a trace.
Gong Shiyu was shocked. Although he hadn't used his full strength, he had used at least eighty percent of his strength, and Xie Jiaoyue had managed to neutralize it just like that.
Xie Jiaoyue opened her bloodshot eyes, which were still filled with tears, the tears also stained red, making her look extremely ferocious.
Without hesitation, she drew her sword and charged.
Gong Shiyu retreated frantically in fear, unleashing fireballs one after another, using spiritual energy as if it were free, fearing that leaving even the slightest opening would prevent him from blocking Xie Jiaoyue's attack.
But as the fight went on, Gong Shiyu realized that he could indeed gain the upper hand.
He was not a useless person with no combat experience. The Grand Elder had put a lot of effort into training him. In about fifteen minutes, he had already figured out that if Xie Jiaoyue were to fight him at full strength, he would definitely lose.
However, Xie Jiaoyue is currently only at half her normal strength. That poison, as expected of her father, must have directly eroded Xie Jiaoyue's dantian, causing her to weaken so much.
Gong Shiyu didn't want to admit it, but he had to. If he wanted to defeat Xie Jiaoyue, he would be seriously injured. He had no chance of defeating Xie Jiaoyue unscathed.
If he put in the effort, he might be able to kill Xie Jiaoyue without suffering serious injuries.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Gong Shiyu's spiritual energy in his dantian was less than half full. He began to panic.
Small wounds had begun to appear on his body, and there was even a five-centimeter-long wound on his left arm, which was bleeding profusely with his movements.
Even though Xie Jiaoyue only has 50% of her strength now, even though Xie Jiaoyue is already a useless person, he still seems, seems to be unable to defeat her!
Why? Why can't he beat them?
His temper flared up. He had originally only intended to cripple Xie Jiaoyue and spare her life, but now he was determined to kill her today.
He couldn't do it on his own, and the poison left to him by the Grand Elder had already been used up. He needed to think of some other methods.
Fortunately, he had prepared a small gift for Xie Jiaoyue beforehand.
If we force Xie Jiaoyue into the tower as before, and force her to the tenth floor, we will surely ensure that she never returns.
Gong Shiyu put one hand behind his back, and a wisp of spiritual energy silently slipped away. Finally, the tower glowed faintly for a moment before going out.
As soon as Xie Jiaoyue steps into the tower, the traps he left behind will be activated immediately. If Xie Jiaoyue doesn't want to get entangled in the traps, she must go straight to the tenth floor of the tower.
At this time, inside the city of Xidi.
Qingyuan Sword Master stood beside Chief Jue, helping him sort through the account books that had accumulated over the years.
Qingyuan Sword Master frowned: "Why do you insist on sorting out the accounts at this time, and why do you insist on me helping you?"
Director Jue rolled his eyes: "You finally got out of that godforsaken place. Who knows when you might disappear again? Where am I supposed to find you then? You owe so many spirit stones, won't you be unable to find your creditor again?"
The expression on Qingyuan Sword Master's face was extremely awkward. He had been following the ledgers and naturally knew that many of them were debts he owed to the Director.
No wonder Director Jue insisted on summoning him at this time.
But he has no money to pay it back.
While keeping the books, Director Jue said, "I didn't even realize you owed me so many spirit stones. It was that old man from the Gongshi family who reminded me that I remembered you, you little devil, actually owe me so much."
She slammed her hand on the table: "You have to return these spirit stones! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
At first, Qingyuan Sword Master was thinking about how to renege on his debt, but after pondering for a while, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"You just said, who reminded you?"
"Elder Gongshi, what's wrong?"
"Oh no! Something must have happened to my cheap apprentice!"
