Chapter 1807 Friendship
"I...I can't tell you." Gu Tian's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He made a deal with the owner of Fengxuelou, and if he told others, he would be seen as a treacherous and wicked person.
"You can leave now. I won't hurt you, and I don't want the people from Fengxuelou to hurt you either." Gu Tian said seriously, "Next, the Gu family and Fengxuelou will have a fierce battle."
He wanted to say something, but looking into Ruan Yu's ambiguous smiling eyes, he couldn't say anything.
"Are you so confident that the people you send will be able to capture Gu Xing?" Ruan Yu seemed to be able to hear Gu Tian's thoughts.
I immediately guessed what he was thinking.
So much so that when Gu Tian finally realized what was happening, he looked at Ruan Yu with a shocked expression.
"Yes..." After a long while, he said, "After realizing that you were not Gu Xing, I sent a few assassins hiding in the shadows to search the mansion."
"There are only three elders here. I think the other three should stay by Gu Xing's side."
"And each of the assassins I sent is as strong as any of the elders," Gu Tian said confidently, as if he had already captured them.
"It's only a matter of time before Gu Xing is arrested."
"How do you know I didn't send anyone to protect Gu Xing?" Ruan Yu smiled gently.
His smile carried a hint of mockery.
Gu Tian's face turned even redder; he hadn't expected this turn of events.
"Turning back is the right way." Ruan Yu's meaningful gaze fell on Gu Tian's face. "Things haven't reached the point of no return yet, you still have a chance to back out."
"If you come back now, the elders will at most punish you."
Gu Tian shook his head: "There's no going back, and I can't regret it. I don't regret it. I know clearly what I want. Only by staying in Fengxue Tower can I get everything I want."
"Alright." Ruan Yu didn't try to persuade her any further. "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
“Gu Xing is my apprentice. If you touch him again, I will really kill you.”
Ruan Yu's eyes held a complex expression.
When I first met Gu Tian, he was gentle and refined, and treated everyone warmly. After some time apart, how did he become like this? Obsessive, insane.
Perhaps, this is who he always was; he just hid it before.
Gu Tian was slightly moved and opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.
“Just because I’m not going to hold a grudge against you doesn’t mean I’ll allow someone else to impersonate me. Hand over the person.” Ruan Yu stretched out her hand towards Gu Tian.
Gu Tian knew who she was talking about, and his face showed struggle: "No..."
"Then kill them all. She should be in the group this time, right?" Ruan Yu withdrew her hand and smiled sweetly.
She wasn't threatening; she genuinely intended to do it.
Dealing with all of Fengxuelou's top assassins would be a bit troublesome, but only a little.
Realizing that Ruan Yu was not joking, Gu Tian took a deep breath: "Okay, I agree. But she impersonated you, partly at my behest."
"I'm sorry." Gu Tian lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "You can punish me first. After that... for the sake of our past friendship, spare her life."
Ruan Yu ignored him. A friendship? Did they even have one?
Leave the duel space.
The elders and the others quickly surrounded them, asking, "Are you alright?"
Upon seeing that two people had emerged, the elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Tian is, after all, a member of the Gu family. If he makes a mistake, they will discipline him properly.
"Young Master, why didn't you kill that good-for-nothing Gu Xing!" Compared to the Gu family, the assassins of Fengxuelou were much more ruthless.
"Gu Xing was so weak, yet he still managed to come out alive. Young Master, you wouldn't be regretting it and want to mend your brotherhood, would you?"
"If that's the case, then when we get back, we should tell the host everything that happened here!"
Gu Tian glanced at the assassins with a chilling look.
The assassins really stopped discussing it.
Xu Daozi smoothed things over, saying, "Gu Xing is the apple of everyone's eye in the Gu family. Isn't it normal for him to have more life-saving artifacts and magical treasures? It's understandable that the young master can't kill him in a short time."
After he said that, the assassins nodded in deep agreement.
Indeed, fighting is not only about individual strength, but also about the treasures one possesses.
Those with abundant treasures can defeat their enemies simply by blowing them up one by one, without having to lift a finger themselves.
Gu Tian walked up to the masked female assassins, his eyes flickered with struggle, but he ultimately decided not to lie and brought up the female assassin who had impersonated Ruan Yu that day.
"Young Master!" The female assassin knew very well that she was about to be discarded. So many people were searching for her, yet they were specifically looking for her; it must be because of what happened that day.
She was terrified and grabbed Gu Tian's hand, pleading, "No, you said you would protect me."
"..." Gu Tian said nothing and handed the person over to Ruan Yu, "We're even now."
Ruan Yu smiled and raised her hand to remove the mask from the female assassin's face.
"Get out of my way!" The female assassin suddenly raised her hand and struck Ruan Yu's chest fiercely with a palm strike containing all her divine power.
No one expected the female assassin to suddenly attack. The two were so close, and Ruan Yu was completely defenseless; this attack would cripple her even if she didn't die!
"Gu Xing!" The elders' eyes widened in fury.
They set off and rushed over.
"You wretched creature, die!"
"How dare you!" The assassins from Fengxuelou stepped forward in unison, stopping all the elders and clansmen of the Gu family.
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and it seemed that a major battle was about to break out.
"You, how are you alright!" The female assassin's voice was incredibly clear at this moment.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Gu Xing stood there as if nothing had happened, without moving an inch!
"How is this possible!"
"Why is he unharmed? Is he wearing a super-divine level defensive artifact?"
"No, if she had activated a magical artifact, we would have noticed it immediately. But on her body..."
Xu Daozi sensed something and stammered, "Quenching, body tempering power! He has body tempering power!"
Everyone, including the elders of the Gu family, stared in shock, their eyes wide or their mouths agape.
"Body Tempering Technique is the strongest inheritance on the Martial Dao Continent. Only disciples of the major families on the Martial Dao Continent are qualified to cultivate it."
"Gu Xing, how did you cultivate the Body Tempering Technique!"
"Could it be that he stole the technique?" The assassins from Fengxuelou laughed. If that were the case, then they wouldn't need to take action themselves.
All it takes is to inform the people of the Martial Arts Continent, and someone will come to clean house.
Ruan Yu sneered, "Is it possible that I've become a disciple of someone from the Martial Arts Continent?"
It's not that it's impossible.
The assassins from Fengxuelou were filled with hatred, wishing they had such good luck!
Seeing that things were not going well, the female assassin turned around and tried to escape.
Her rash action created a fatal enmity that could not be undone.
