Capítulo 806: Chapter 806: A Man of Great Background

“Mr. Gu, did you know we were coming?” Lin Fei looked at the elder and couldn’t help but ask.

The elder nodded: “That’s right, I did know you were coming, and I also knew someone was after you.”

Lin Fei was puzzled and said: “How did you know, Mr. Gu?”

The old man simply laughed and said mysteriously: “Young man, don’t worry about how I know. Since you’re here in my little village, just enjoy the tea and pastries. As far as I’m concerned, you’re my guest once you got me back here.”

Back at the department store, Lin Fei had realized that this old man was no ordinary person. This was one of the reasons Lin Fei instinctively offered to escort him back.

Now he felt even more that the elder was remarkable.

Outside, the fog was thick, and the village nestled in the valley was quite some distance away.

The elder knew he was coming, and he also knew that people from the Hundred Poison Sect and the Star Moon Sect were looking for him. It was as if he had eyes that could see a thousand miles and ears that could hear over the wind, with the ability to foresee events before they happened.

“Mr. Gu, I am Xie Feng. May I have the honor of knowing your name?” Lin Fei addressed the elder.

The elder smiled slightly: “My surname is Gu, you can just call me Mr. Gu.”

“Come, Young Master Xie, and this friend, have some tea. This is tea we grow ourselves in the valley, and it has a very sweet and refreshing taste.”

Lin Fei and Leng Ying nodded and said together: “Thank you, Mr. Gu.”

Just as Lin Fei, Leng Ying, and Mr. Gu were sitting under the old locust tree, drinking tea, eating pastries, and chatting, the figures of over twenty people appeared at the gorge entrance not far away.

These people entering the gorge were indeed from the Hundred Poison Sect and the Star Moon Sect.

“Sect Leader, there really is no mist, and there is a small village in the valley!” said the Second Elder, White Celestial Turtle, excitedly to Sect Leader Bai, Elder Bai.

The Grand Elder Bai Tianhe, Third Elder Bai Tiaodiao, and several experts from the Hundred Poison Sect wore expressions of delight.

“Sect Leader He, your skill is indeed impressive. You’ve really broken this sinister array. To think there’s a valley and village here,” Elder Bai remarked to Sect Leader He in admiration.

Sect Leader He didn’t pay much attention to Elder Bai’s compliment. His gaze was fixed on the elder under the old locust tree at the village entrance, who was drinking tea.

“The old man is really here!” Sect Leader He’s eyes glinted coldly.

Similarly, Mr. Gu’s gaze was fixed on Sect Leader He.

At this point, Elder Bai also noticed Lin Fei and Leng Ying under the old locust tree. Having been outsmarted by the duo, his face turned somewhat unpleasant.

“Sect Leader, it’s those two brats over there,” said Second Elder White Celestial Turtle upon spotting Lin Fei and Leng Ying.

Elder Bai said, “Let’s go over.”

Elder Bai and the three elders then flew towards the old locust tree at the village entrance.

Meanwhile, Sect Leader He led the Star Moon Sect members in flying towards the village entrance.

Lin Fei and Leng Ying watched as members of the Hundred Poison Sect and Star Moon Sect formed a circle around the old locust tree.

Lin Fei wasn’t worried. He continued drinking tea and eating pastries.

He wasn’t anxious because, apart from his confidence in his own strength against Elder Bai and Sect Leader He, he saw Mr. Gu calm and composed.

Lin Fei believed Mr. Gu certainly had a way to deal with the people from the Hundred Poison Sect and Star Moon Sect.

“Gu Yuehe, I finally found you,” Sect Leader He said coldly, looking at Mr. Gu.

Only then did Lin Fei learn that the elder’s name was Gu Yuehe. From Sect Leader He’s tone, he could sense there seemed to be a grudge between them.

Sect Leader He was the leader of Jiangnan’s largest sect, the Star Moon Sect, and the fact that he recognized Mr. Gu only reinforced the notion that Mr. Gu was no ordinary person.

Mr. Gu remained composed, sipping his tea leisurely, and said to Sect Leader He: “He Jing, it seems like you’re really persistent. You’ve tracked me to this remote place. What do you want now? Isn’t seizing the Star Moon Sect enough for you?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei was inwardly curious: Why did Mr. Gu claim that He Jing had seized the Star Moon Sect? Didn’t He Jing always lead the Star Moon Sect?

At this moment, Elder Bai seemed to recall something, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise as he looked at Gu Yuehe: “Could this elder be the former Sect Leader of the Star Moon Sect, the martial arts expert known as the Array Martial Venerable, Gu Yuehe, who swept through Jiangnan?”

Gu Yuehe’s face remained calm: “I didn’t expect anyone to remember me. Sect Leader Bai, you’re too kind. But now, I’m no longer the Sect Leader of the Star Moon Sect, just a rural villager.”

Elder Bai replied politely: “Mr. Gu, you’re too modest.”

In his time, Gu Yuehe was a martial arts master who swept through Jiangnan, known far and wide, especially famed for his skill in setting up arrays.

Yet, ten years ago, Gu Yuehe suddenly vanished, and He Jing, previously only the deputy leader of the Star Moon Sect, became the new leader.

No one knew what changes had befallen Gu Yuehe and the Star Moon Sect.

Elder Bai vaguely felt that Gu Yuehe’s sudden disappearance was related to He Jing.

But Elder Bai had no desire to get involved in He Jing’s and Gu Yuehe’s feud.

“Gu Yuehe, this time you won’t escape.” He Jing looked at Gu Yuehe and said, “The grudges between us should be settled!”

Gu Yuehe laughed coldly: “He Jing, today the Martial Saint of Jiangnan isn’t here to help you. If anyone is fleeing, it will be you. Indeed, our grudges should be settled.”

At this point, Elder Bai gestured to Lin Fei and Leng Ying and spoke to Gu Yuehe: “Mr. Gu, these two are whom the Hundred Poison Sect seeks. I hope you won’t prevent us from taking them.”

Gu Yuehe glanced at Lin Fei and Leng Ying, smiled, and said to Elder Bai: “Sect Leader Bai, I’m afraid I must refuse. Today these two young men drove me back here, and as they are now my guests, I can’t let you take them.”

Lin Fei and Leng Ying hadn’t expected that Gu Yuehe would stand up for them simply because of such a small favor.

This immediately made Lin Fei feel great respect for Gu Yuehe.

“Mr. Gu, don’t worry about me. The Hundred Poison Sect harbors ulterior motives. They want to capture us for nefarious purposes, but we won’t let them succeed,” Lin Fei said to Gu Yuehe.

He didn’t want Gu Yuehe to offend people from the Hundred Poison Sect because of them, as that would mean making enemies of both the Hundred Poison Sect and the Star Moon Sect.

This would not be beneficial to Gu Yuehe.

However, Gu Yuehe replied with a serene smile, unfazed: “Young Master Xie, I told you, you’re my guest. No matter how many there are or how strong they are, I won’t let them take you.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai and the three Hundred Poison Sect elders’ expressions turned sour.

Although Gu Yuehe was once renowned, the Hundred Poison Sect had always been on par with the Star Moon Sect, and Elder Bai and his men weren’t afraid of Gu Yuehe.

“Sect Leader Bai, since this old man insists on opposing us, why not join forces and eliminate him?” At this moment, He Jing said coldly to Elder Bai.

Elder Bai’s face remained impassive, but his eyes showed a deep killing intent: “Very well, Sect Leader He, let’s cooperate once more.”
