Chapter 302 - 301 Unexpected News
"Robbery!!!"
A group of people appeared at the intersection ahead, dressed in black and wearing masks, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Gao Fei and his companions were taken aback. What was going on? Someone dared to rob them in broad daylight?
"Hand over everything you have! Spare your lives!" a masked person shouted loudly.
Gao Fei chuckled lightly, "You've got some nerve, daring to rob me," he said as he walked forward.
"What are you going to do!" the masked person yelled.
"I feel like beating someone up!" Gao Fei took out a longsword from his storage ring. It shone with a golden light and emitted a chilling aura. This longsword was a Supreme Grade magic artifact, a prize from this trial. Gao Fei gripped the hilt and swung it lightly a couple of times: "Hmm, it feels quite good!"
"This longsword is so beautiful! I like it!" The masked person laughed with a sinister tone. "If you know what's good for you, throw the longsword over..."
"Sure." Gao Fei unhesitatingly threw the longsword.
"You're really throwing it... Ah..." Before the masked person could finish speaking, they screamed miserably, a longsword impaled their shoulder, and blood trickled down the blade. The pain made the masked person howl unceasingly.
"You're really stupid, not even able to catch a longsword," Gao Fei closed in and slapped the masked person's face hard.
"Bang!"
The masked person spat out blood and tumbled backward, flying out.
Gao Fei followed like a shadow, pinched the hilt with two fingers, and pulled the longsword out of the masked person's shoulder. Blood spurted out wildly. The masked person screamed loudly as Gao Fei, holding the longsword, turned and walked towards the other masked people: "Trying to rob me was a mistake."
"Everyone, attack together, kill this bastard!"
About a dozen masked people charged together.
Gao Fei fearlessly met their charge.
In the blink of an eye, the fight was over, and, of course, Gao Fei was the victor. The dozen or so masked people all lay on the ground, wailing pitifully.
Truth be told, Gao Fei had been merciful. Otherwise, these masked people would have long been dead.
"I'm curious about who you really are," Gao Fei said as he used his longsword to lift the black cloth of a masked person: "Oh, it's you... and you... You're from the Great Wind Ridge, aren't you? I'll remember this, and when I return to the Tianyang Sect, I'll report to the Sect Leader and have him do justice on my behalf."
The disciples from the Great Wind Ridge glared at Gao Fei, wishing they could tear him limb from limb.
"What are you glaring at! Keep glaring, and I'll slaughter you all!" Gao Fei said viciously.
The disciples from Great Wind Ridge quickly closed their eyes, no longer daring to look at Gao Fei. They were envious of the rich rewards Gao Fei had received and thus attempted to rob him, only to end up being defeated and having their identities exposed. If word of this got back to the Great Wind Ridge, the Sect Leader would definitely not let them off lightly.
"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" Gao Fei said indifferently. "If you want to die, just lie there and don't move. I will use this longsword to cut off your necks. If you want to live... get up, kowtow to admit your wrongs, and write a letter of penance."
The disciples from Great Wind Ridge hesitated for a moment, then one by one, they knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Fei, finally writing letters of penance with their own blood, under Gao Fei's supervision. The letters were written deeply and sincerely.
"Alright, you can get lost," Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively.
The disciples from Great Wind Ridge climbed up and ran away in an extremely sorry state.
"Senior Brother Gao is so righteous," one disciple praised sycophantically. "They ambushed us halfway and were aggressive and rude. You just gave them a simple lesson and let them go. You're truly too righteous."
"Yes, so righteous," other disciples echoed, flattering him as well.
"You're all wrong," Gao Fei waved his hand. "This matter isn't over yet! Once I return to the Tianyang Sect, I will hand over their written letters of regret to the Sect Leader. Then, let him help me seek justice, huh, with the regret letters in hand, they won't be able to deny anything even if they want to."
"..." The disciples were at a loss for words, realizing they had misunderstood; Gao Fei was too cunning, totally unrelated to the words "benevolence" and "righteousness."
After a brief rest, everyone continued on their journey.
It quickly became dark, and Gao Fei and others found a wind-sheltered place to rest. Some went hunting, others collected dry firewood... Gao Fei was also busy, taking out more than a dozen jars of fine wine from his storage ring.
After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the disciples who had gone to collect firewood returned.
After two incense sticks had burned, the disciples who went hunting also returned. "Something's happened!" the hunting disciple said seriously, laying down a wild rabbit. "A big problem has occurred!"
"A big problem? What big problem?" Gao Fei asked curiously.
"Hu Qiu is dead."
"Who's dead?"
"Hu Qiu!"
"That wastrel? If he's dead, then he's dead, what's there to make a fuss about?" Gao Fei curled his lip: "A piece of trash like him should've died sooner."
"Someone said... it was Senior Brother Gao who killed Hu Qiu..."
"What? I killed him? What kind of joke is that! I haven't seen him since leaving Beast King Valley."
"Of course, we believe in Senior Brother Gao, but others don't! Back in Beast King Valley, Hu Qiu offended Senior Brother Gao, and now that Hu Qiu is dead, everyone thinks it was Senior Brother Gao who did it."
"What nonsense is this, just because Hu Qiu offended me, everyone decides I killed him? It's utterly ridiculous, and more nonsensical than bullshit! What crap, a bunch of bastards, just spouting nonsense."
"Senior Brother Gao, don't be angry, we will testify for you, no one can frame you."
"I'm not afraid of being framed," Gao Fei snorted. "If I didn't do it, what do I have to fear!" With that, Gao Fei added, "Even if I did do it, I wouldn't be afraid! Alright, let's not talk about these annoying matters. Hurry up and start the fire for the barbeque. I've already prepared the wine; tonight, we shall feast and drink to our hearts' content."
The fire was lit, and after the skinning and cleaning, the wild rabbit was skewered on sticks and began to roast.
Once the rabbit meat was cooked, everyone started to share it, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting away in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Senior Brother Gao, you are definitely going to achieve great things in the future! When you make it big, you can't forget about us!"
"Yeah, Senior Brother Gao, we are your staunch supporters, you must look out for us."
"I can swear on my life that Senior Brother Gao will definitely become a Sect Leader! With you at the helm of the Tianyang Sect, we'll get to bask in your glory too."
...
"Hehe, take it easy, no matter where I end up in the future, I won't forget any of you," Gao Fei promised, patting his chest.
"Senior Brother Gao is generous!"
"Senior Brother Gao is mighty!"
"Senior Brother Gao is incredible!"
"Senior Brother Gao, we toast to you!"
The disciples all raised their cups, falling over one another to toast Gao Fei.
