Chapter 332 - 329 Glorious Deeds
"Correct!" Gao Fei nodded. "The secret you've provided has indeed moved me."
"You promised me that as long as the secret could move you, you wouldn't kill me..." Jiang Qilong said anxiously.
"Rest assured." Gao Fei waved his hand. "I won't go back on my word."
"Then I can rest easy." Jiang Qilong let out a long sigh of relief. In order to save his life, he had revealed his greatest secret. If Gao Fei didn't honor their agreement, Jiang Qilong would be utterly dismayed.
"After I see the Immortal Palace, I will let you leave," Gao Fei said indifferently.
"I will take you there now." As he spoke, Jiang Qilong paused for a moment. "That is... Can my subordinates leave first? I'll take you there alone! Too many people could cause unnecessary trouble."
Gao Fei glanced at Jiang Qilong's subordinates. "After they leave, they won't go talking about it everywhere, will they? I don't want others to know about the existence of the Immortal Palace."
"Rest assured! They absolutely won't talk!" Jiang Qilong assured him earnestly. "They are all orphans I raised myself; they are very loyal to me and would never betray me."
"Orphans?" Gao Fei was surprised. "You raised them?"
"If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath," Jiang Qilong raised his hand and made a fierce oath.
Gao Fei scrutinized Jiang Qilong for a while, then nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you this time! Let them all go!" At this, Gao Fei added, "If I find out that you've lied to me, I will make your death a painful one."
"That won't happen! I would never dare to deceive you." Seeing Gao Fei agree, Jiang Qilong felt a surge of joy and waved to his hundreds of subordinates, "You all go! Find a hidden place to hide. I will come back and reunite with you as soon as possible."
"We won't go!" Hundreds of men in black said in unison, "We'll leave together, stay together! Live together! Die together!"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Qilong's expression darkened. "Leave at once!"
"We won't!"
"What? My words don't count anymore?"
"We listen to you in all other matters, but not this time."
"Are you trying to infuriate me to death?"
"Boss, our lives were given by you. If it weren't for you taking us in, we would have starved to death on the streets a long time ago. We made a vow years ago to live and die with you! We will never leave you in this lifetime!"
"Will you go or not?" Jiang Qilong glared and said, "If you do not go, I will take my own life right now!" As he spoke, Jiang Qilong placed his hand on his head.
"Stop! Don't do this!" The men in black were terrified, "Boss, don't be impulsive!"
"GO!" Jiang Qilong shouted loudly.
"Fine, we'll go, we'll leave right now!" Under Jiang Qilong's pressure, the hundreds of men in black reluctantly left, looking back every three steps.
"Damn it all to hell," Jiang Qilong lowered his hand and cursed, "These little bastards are becoming more and more troublesome."
Gao Fei came over and looked at Jiang Qilong deeply. "That scene just now was quite touching."
"Eh, it was okay, I guess..."
"I have a question?"
"What?"
"Were you putting on a show? Acting it out for me to see?"
"How could that be!" Jiang Qilong became defensive at once. "You can insult me, but you can't insult the bond between us! In name, I'm their boss, but in reality, I am their father! They are all my sons!"
"I was just talking off the cuff, why are you getting so worked up?" Gao Fei curled his lips: "Come on, let's get moving."
Jiang Qilong grumbled in his heart before lifting his feet and heading in the Northeast direction.
Gao Fei followed at a leisurely pace.
"Old chap, what's your name?" Jiang Qilong asked.
"Gao Fei." Gao Fei answered casually.
"Gao Fei?" Jiang Qilong blinked: "This name sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere... but I can't remember at the moment... Where have I heard it?" Jiang Qilong furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "I remember now! I saw your name on a wanted poster! Turns out you're a fugitive!"
Gao Fei frowned: "Fugitive? What fugitive? What are you babbling about!"
"I'm not babbling nonsense." Jiang Qilong chuckled: "If you are that Gao Fei, then you are a fugitive."
"What nonsense are you spouting, make yourself clear." Gao Fei glared with his eyes wide: "How did I become a fugitive?"
"Let me ask you, have you ever stayed at Tianyang Sect?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
"Another question, did you beat up the Sect Leader Hu Shuisheng of Sunset Sect?"
"... You seem to know quite a bit."
"It was you!" Jiang Qilong burst into laughter: "Let me tell you, the things you've done are totally to my taste, you're practically my idol, I admire you so much!
The wanted poster was issued by the Sect Leader Hu Shuisheng of the Sunset Sect, the whole world is looking for you, anyone who could provide your whereabouts would get a handsome reward, and if someone could capture or kill you, the reward would be even greater, I won't lie to you, when I read the wanted poster, I was somewhat tempted."
"Hu Shuisheng is an old bastard." Gao Fei snorted: "I'll kill him sooner or later."
"You're right! Hu Shuisheng is a bastard! When you kill him eventually, make sure to bring me along, I'll cheer for you from the sidelines."
"Do you have a grudge against Hu Shuisheng?"
"A grudge as deep as the ocean! I wish to peel off Hu Shuisheng's skin, eat his flesh, and drain his blood! Years ago, I robbed a few disciples of the Sunset Sect, and then Hu Shuisheng pursued me everywhere, I almost died at his hands several times."
"You deserve it! Who told you to rob the disciples of Sunset Sect, if it were me, I would pursue you as well."
"How can you even speak up for Hu Shuisheng?"
"I'm just stating the facts."
"Alright, let's not talk about this." Jiang Qilong waved it off: "Old Gao, I have a question and I hope you can answer it for me?"
"What's the question?"
"How did you manage to injure Hu Shuisheng? Hu Shuisheng is a bona fide Nascent Soul Cultivator, after all."
"There's something called 'overcoming the odds', have you heard of it?"
"Can you give me more details? How did you overcome the odds? For a Golden Core Realm Cultivation to injure a Nascent Soul Cultivator, that's practically a miracle."
"Cultivation is indeed important, but brains matter even more, that's as much as I can tell you... the rest... you'll have to figure out yourself."
"Brains?" Jiang Qilong nodded thoughtfully: "So what you're saying is, you used a strategy to defeat Hu Shuisheng? In other words, you outsmarted Hu Shuisheng? Is that it?"
Gao Fei paid no attention to Jiang Qilong.
"It must be so." Jiang Qilong waved his fist: "The question that's been weighing on my heart finally has an answer! Old Gao, can you tell me in detail? What was your strategy when you outsmarted Hu Shuisheng? Hu Shuisheng is known to be a cunning old fox, very shrewd, tricking him is not an easy task."
