All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Chapter 426 - 259 ’Cowardly’ Su Bei_3

"Second Brother Bao, how could you just die like this?"

"You had the Divine Sound Sand Body... We had agreed to ascend the Hidden Dragon List together..."

"I will avenge your death! I, Gu Qingfeng, will definitely find out who the real killer behind the scenes is!"

"..."

After resting for a while and repacking his belongings, he once again headed towards Qingyang Sect.

During the Sacred Land’s opening ceremony, though Qingyang Sect hadn’t entered the top hundred sects, they held firm for a long time, which was sufficient to prove their sect’s formidable strength!

It was said that their Sect Master was in the Mid Stage Divinity Transformation Realm, a person of great importance. As long as they could persuade Qingyang Sect to send a Late Stage Nascent Soul Elder to stand guard, the Gu Family would be completely secure.

Running all the way, he finally caught sight of the mountain gate of Qingyang Sect.

Gu Qingfeng strode forward, approached the gate-keeping disciples, cupped his fist and said, "From Xiegu City’s Gu Family, Gu Qingfeng."

The gate-keeping disciples clearly recognized Gu Qingfeng and shifted aside a little to make way.

But Gu Qingfeng noticed something was troubling these disciples, and he frowned as he inquired, "Fellow brothers, may I ask what has happened?"

One of the gate-keeping disciples hesitated for a moment before quietly approaching Gu Qingfeng and said, "Young Master Gu, have you also come to compete for your family’s mining vein?"

"..."

Gu Qingfeng looked slightly puzzled. He didn’t understand why these men knew his intentions, but he nodded nonetheless and said, "Indeed!"

Another gate-keeping disciple shook his head, sighed, and said, "Then, Young Master Gu, it seems you might have come here in vain..."

Gu Qingfeng took a step back, clutched his long spear, and inquired, "What do you mean by that?"

The gate-keeping disciple looked at Gu Qingfeng meaningfully and said, "Before you, Chu Tiankuo of the Chu Family was already here..."

The Chu Family?

A chill gripped Gu Qingfeng’s heart, and his eyes narrowed. This is bad, he thought.

How could this be?

The Chu Family, one of the four great noble families of Xiegu City, was the Gu Family’s greatest rival in this matter. Chu Tiankuo himself possessed the rare Dominant Lion Body. Could he have also sought help from Qingyang Sect?

The question is whether Qingyang Sect will agree to his request.

Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, then strode forward, cupped his fist again and said, "I thank the brothers for the guidance, but since I’ve come all this way, it’s impossible for me to return empty-handed..."

Having said this, he turned and walked towards the interior of Qingyang Sect.

Lush green willows swayed, and banana plants stood verdant.

「A grand hall in Qingyang Sect.」

Spring was drawing to a close, and orioles had begun to sing.

A middle-aged man sat behind a low table, wearing a Green Lun Scarf on his head, clothed in a white gauze robe with a black cloak over it. Two female disciples behind him held banana leaf fans, gently stirring a soft breeze that teased the incense on the low table, making it seem to dance. He gazed at the red-haired man before him. After carefully reading the letter on the desk, he slowly tucked it into his robe. His long eyebrows knitted together, and he said softly, "Tiankuo, since you have decided to become a disciple of our Qingyang Sect, naturally, we will support your Chu Family to the utmost."

"In the upcoming clan battle of Xiegu City, I, as an Elder of Qingyang Sect, should lend a hand."

"You may go now."

"..."

For someone like Chu Tiankuo, who was qualified to challenge the Hidden Dragon List, Qingyang Sect was more than willing to cultivate him with all they had. To have even one person on the Hidden Dragon List was a great honor for any of the thousands of sects in the world!

Chu Tiankuo stood up proudly, his eyes defiant. He saluted the middle-aged man and said, "Well then, I thank you, Elder Wang."

"I shall return to my family first."

Elder Wang nodded, waved his hand, and then closed his eyes.

Just then, a maid rushed in from outside and whispered something into Elder Wang’s ear.

Elder Wang’s eyebrows quivered. With his hands clasped behind his back, he was momentarily unsure how to proceed. After thinking for a good while, he finally said slowly, "Call Gu Qingfeng in."

"..."

Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng’s name, Chu Tiankuo, who had already reached the door, stepped back in. His face bore a hint of schadenfreude as he sat down, looking ready to enjoy a good show.

Elder Wang’s brows knitted, but he didn’t look up. He continued to write, his voice slow as he asked, "Gu Qingfeng? What brings you here?"

Gu Qingfeng stepped into the hall. Spotting the middle-aged man on the high seat, he knew this must be the Seventh Elder of Qingyang Sect, possessing the formidable cultivation of a Late Stage Nascent Soul expert. He bowed his head and said, "Gu Qingfeng of the Gu Family, greets Elder Wang."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Tiankuo, who was off to the side, sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, why is someone from the Gu Family here?"

"Young Master Gu, you’ve always been so high and mighty. What brings you to *our* Qingyang Sect?"

"Didn’t you, Young Master Gu, previously declare that aside from the Direct Disciples of the hundred great sects, you look down on all other sects? A minor sect like Qingyang Sect can hardly accommodate such an important figure as yourself."

"With such arrogance, why bother coming to Qingyang Sect at all?"

"..."

Hearing Chu Tiankuo’s words, Elder Wang’s expression instantly turned cold.

Qingyang Sect has its pride too! How could they allow a mere brat to belittle them?

Qingyang Sect, a minor sect?

Elder Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly. Stroking his short beard, he snorted coldly and said, "Gu Qingfeng, is what Tiankuo has said true?"

Gu Qingfeng lowered his head. He had indeed made such boasts before, and lying was not in his character.

The Gu Family had some business dealings with Qingyang Sect, but their relationship was by no means deep.

Besides, why would Qingyang Sect hold a mere Gu Family in high regard?

Knowing in his heart that this trip might be in vain, he sighed and said with resignation, "It’s true..."

Elder Wang flew into a rage. He slammed his large hand heavily on the low table and rebuked, "Impudence!"
