Chapter 726 - 393:
The Young Master had occupied this standard for so many years, and it had never changed.
But at this moment, Old Demon Duan, fearless of death, dared to intrude and snatch the first treasure of Tianzhou, wasn’t this a harsh slap to the Gu Family’s face?
To put it lightly, the Young Master’s woman was seized, making him the talk of the town, while on a larger scale, it meant that the Gu Family was deemed unworthy of possessing the first lady of Tianzhou.
Gu Dile took a bite of roasted beef and said, "Qiangdong, do you know why I let you stay close to Madam?"
Zhao Qiangdong pondered, "Madam loves rare items from all over, and I just happen to be a fast runner."
Gu Dile shook his head, saying, "That’s just one reason. Another reason is that having you by her side puts my mind at ease."
Zhao Qiangdong showed a confused expression.
Gu Dile smirked charmingly and said, "You’re face blind, can’t tell beauty from ugliness, meaning you’re unlikely to be tempted by Madam, the first treasure’s daughter. Plus, I’ve long known that you’re...short endurance, a true weakling, so I’m even less worried."
"I’ve said so much to express my deep concerns for Madam, yet here you tell me she’s been captured by a man!"
"Young Master, I’ve failed in my duties! But I’ve fought with all my might!"
At that moment, Zhao Qiangdong wanted to kneel, but without legs and being carried by two Arhats, he couldn’t perform such a gesture.
Gu Dile’s expression softened, saying, "I can see your loyalty, I don’t blame you. Madam’s sword technique isn’t weak, tell me, how was she defeated."
Zhao Qiangdong quickly recounted the scene at the time.
He didn’t exaggerate, yet you could feel the tragedy and heroism within.
The tragic part was that Madam was so scared she peed, and heroic part was that he lost two legs and an arm to Old Demon Duan, yet still failed to save Madam.
Gu Dile raised an eyebrow and said, "Madam’s strike had little effect on Old Demon Duan, so tell me, does the Young Master have a guaranteed win?"
Saying this, he looked at the Seventeen Arhats.
The Seventeen Arhats wiggled their pigtails and said, "Young Master will surely win!"
"Win for nothing!" Gu Dile cursed.
"All told, I have at most a seventy percent chance, but once this divine skill is mastered, then it’s truly a guaranteed win."
As he spoke, Gu Dile stood up, shouting, "Seventeen Arhats! Hear my command!"
"Train in divine skill for a hundred days, slay Old Demon, save Madam!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
For a moment, the voices of the Seventeen Arhats became one.
In Zhao Qiangdong’s shocked eyes, the Young Master’s and the Seventeen Arhats’ pigtails began to spin wildly, bringing a clattering sound.
In an instant, the wind roared, stirring up dust and smoke all around.
The next moment, with a sudden sound, the Young Master and the Seventeen Arhats formed an array and, with their wildly spinning pigtails, soared into the sky, the momentum was astonishing, as if a Heavenly Immortal ascending.
Zhao Qiangdong, standing half-bodied, seemed fervent, "Flying God Skill! The Young Master’s divine skill can truly make him soar!"
At this moment, he finally understood the significance of the Young Master and the Seventeen Arhats tying their hair in twin tails.
The speed of Young Master Gu Dile and the Seventeen Arhats was so fast that they vanished from the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Qiangdong could only feel his spirits surging.
The Young Master is invincible!
But after a while, he stood there and gradually began to realize something.
"Wait, the Young Master said to train for a hundred days, which means saving Madam will take at least a hundred days later."
"By then, Madam won’t be...ruined, right?"
Unfortunately, no answer was given, as the Young Master and the Seventeen Arhats already disappeared from sight.
...
In the middle of the night, Li Qin twisted her stout waist in bed, reaching out beside her to find it empty, her squinted eyes went red.
Red with anger!
She was angry at her husband.
Li Qin, though not tall and with somewhat flabby arms, didn’t consider herself fat, and found herself somewhat attractive.
Married to her husband for three years, life was not happy.
Because her cousin married into a wealthy family, enjoying lavish food and drink, even having a maid hold an umbrella for her when going out.
She thought she was no less than her cousin, but life differed greatly, so she took her anger out on her husband.
She called him useless, incompetent, and told him to get sterilized.
At that time, her husband obediently listened to her and went for sterilization, and for having such a useless husband, she committed what all women would, drank too much that day, and that bad man insisted, losing control several times, becoming pregnant.
The husband naturally forgave her, but she became irritable due to the pregnancy.
She scolded him again, calling him useless and a fool.
But this time, unusually, he didn’t take out his mother’s last savings to please her but angrily left!
How dare he be angry!
Thinking of this, Li Qin clenched her teeth.
"Probably listened to some nonsense from that damn Great Hero Sect!"
Lately, some heroes from the Great Hero Sect came to town, declaring everywhere that men should be independent, not cowards.
Many men who heard them went mad.
Saying that marriage disadvantaged men and women should pay full dowry, only then should men marry women, such reverse-heavenly gang nonsense, and still won the support of many foolish men.
Saying they’ll intervene if anyone goes against men’s will!
These foolish men, they deserve to be single for life!
Hearing all this infuriated her, if not for carrying his child, she’d be inclined to go out and reprimand and scold these idiot men.
Now the most annoying thing was that her once obedient husband dared to lose his temper and stay out all night.
