Seeing Gongsun Qianbai's unseeing eyes, everyone's lips twitched involuntarily.
"So you mean physical destruction when you talk about defeating someone?" Feng Zhizhao couldn't help but complain. He just wanted to beat up Gongsun Qianbai, but Qiao Suinian just killed her right away.
"Tell me if it works or not, isn't he keeping quiet now?" Qiao Suinian retorted.
"Niu Boyi, I give you a thumbs up!" Feng Zhizhao gave a thumbs up.
Ge Liefeng was utterly terrified. His face turned deathly pale, and he pointed a trembling finger at Qiao Suinian.
"You...you killed Lady Gongsun Qianbai? How dare you? You've made an irreconcilable enemy of the Gongsun family! You're courting death!"
Ge Liefeng shouted loudly, seemingly trying to suppress the fear in his heart.
Gongsun Qianbai's strength was no less than Ge Liefeng's, yet this very person was slapped to death by the masked man in front of him. How could Ge Liefeng not be terrified?
Doesn't this mean that if the masked man wanted to, he could easily slap himself to death?
"Then guess, I dare to kill Gongsun Qianbai, do you think I dare to kill you?" Qiao Suinian's voice was devoid of any warmth.
Ge Liefeng's face darkened instantly, and he said in a low voice.
“My lord, you misunderstand! What I mean is that Gongsun Qianbai has done countless evil deeds and is utterly depraved. He should have died long ago. It is only because God has no eyes that he has lived this long! It is Gongsun Qianbai’s honor to die at your hands! But my lord, you killed Gongsun Qianbai in front of everyone. I’m afraid it will cause trouble. The Gongsun family will definitely not let this go.”
Ge Liefeng's words were all insightful, and he spoke entirely from Qiao Suinian's perspective. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was one of Qiao Suinian's men.
Looking at Ge Liefeng, who was proficient in Sichuan opera face-changing, Qiao Suinian couldn't help but laugh. This guy was really a talent.
"But I've already killed him. So, in your opinion, what should I do now?" Qiao Suinian asked with a half-smile.
“My lord, in my humble opinion, if you don’t cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze! Since we have already killed Gongsun Qianbai and offended the Gongsun family, why not…” A fierce glint flashed in Ge Liefeng’s eyes, and then he made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
"Really? You're actually a pretty nice guy. I'll go fight the Gongsun family to the death. If the Gongsun family wins, you can jump out and trample on me. If I can beat the Gongsun family, you'll naturally submit to me. Either way, you, this opportunist, won't lose out. What a cunning plan!"
Qiao Suinian spoke with a smile, her tone very kind, but Ge Liefeng's expression suddenly changed drastically because Qiao Suinian had directly revealed all his hidden thoughts.
"My lord, I'm innocent! How could I dare to plot against you!" Ge Liefeng quickly denied.
"Really? You don't have that intention? Fine, then I'll listen to you. I'll take Gongsun Qianbai's body to the Gongsun family right now."
Upon hearing this, Ge Liefeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Taking Gongsun Qianbai's corpse to the Gongsun family? It would be strange if a fight didn't break out. It seemed that it was none of his business. But Qiao Suinian's next words almost made his heart jump out of his chest.
"Your Gale Force will be my vanguard."
Ge Liefeng looked as if he had eaten shit.
"big..."
"What's so great about it? You don't want to?" A murderous glint flashed in Qiao Suinian's eyes.
"I am willing!" Ge Liefeng's expression turned solemn, and his voice immediately became deep. "I, Liefeng, will certainly take the lead and uphold our heroic spirit!"
"Very well, then take Gongsun Qianbai's body and dump it in front of the Gongsun family's gate, and say that Gongsun Qianbai came to my Dingtianque to cause trouble and was killed by my people." Qiao Suinian ordered with a half-smile.
Ge Liefeng's face darkened slightly. As a seasoned veteran who had been in Kyoto for many years, he naturally understood what this meant. Qiao Suinian was forcing him to take sides and not let him be a fence-sitter.
If he actually does what Qiao Suinian says, then he will undoubtedly be labeled as someone who has sided with Qiao Suinian.
Of course, he could also choose to take Gongsun Qianbai's body back and say that Qiao Suinian forced him to do it, and then seek refuge with the Gongsun family.
In short, Ge Liefeng now has to choose between two options. If he chooses neither, he will offend both sides.
"clear!"
Ge Liefeng gave Qiao Suinian a deep look, said nothing more, and obediently took Gongsun Qianbai's body away.
Dingtianque has just been established and is indeed short of people. If Ge Liefeng is sensible enough, Qiao Suinian would not mind taking him in.
Qiao Suinian's public killing of Gongsun Qianbai undoubtedly gave the onlookers a small shock of a brute.
Neither Gongsun Qianbai herself nor the onlookers expected that Qiao Suinian would kill someone without a word.
After Qiao Suinian left the stage, Guan Yan, who had not appeared until now, slowly walked out, a faint smile still on her face.
"It's her! I recognize her, it's Guan Yan! The one who was second only to the leader of Qianlan Pavilion! She's still alive?"
"No wonder the Heavenly Palace was chosen to be located on the site of the former Thousand Orchid Pavilion. Given Guan Yan's familiarity with the area around the Thousand Orchid Pavilion, is there a better place than this?"
"Qianlan Pavilion was completely destroyed, and she was the only one who survived. Could it be...?"
The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves, and the way they looked at Guan Yan seemed rather strange.
Guan Yan didn't care at all, continuing to greet the visiting guests. She had done this countless times at Qianlan Pavilion, so it was second nature to her and effortless.
Now no one dared to cause trouble anymore. Gongsun Qianbai's body was still warm, and besides, given Guan Yan's status, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to rebuild Qianlan Pavilion.
