AWB Chapter 120 Trust
Chapter 120 Trust
"Young Master Gu is joking. Although my Fuwei Escort Agency is not a powerful force, we can still distinguish right from wrong."
Yu Renyan ambushed your disciple from behind; he deserved to die at your hands.
Furthermore, Pingzhi is your friend; how could I possibly do something like stabbing you in the back?
Lin Zhennan quickly said.
Although he didn't know Gu Qianbei's exact strength, after hearing Lin Pingzhi recount how Gu Qianbei instantly killed Yu Renyan, he knew that he was definitely no match for him.
What's more, the other party has the backing of the number one clan in the world.
That's a force even more difficult to deal with than the Qingcheng Sect.
"If that's the case, then I won't stay any longer."
Gu Qianbei turned to leave, and Lin Pingzhi exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Gu, you're leaving already?"
"Yu Canghai probably already knows that I killed Yu Renyan."
If I stay here, Yu Canghai will have even more excuses to take action.
Since you consider me a friend, I certainly can't betray you.
"Brother Gu, what are you saying? You've done my Fuwei Escort Agency a great favor by bringing us this news."
Moreover, the Qingcheng Sect is our common enemy.
At this time, we should be working together, not splitting up.
Lin Pingzhi said excitedly.
Seeing Lin Pingzhi's expression, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Lin, you trust me too much."
"what?"
Lin Pingzhi was completely baffled by these words.
"Although I know the news I brought is true, you cannot be 100% sure."
You see, even Chief Escort Lin has only believed most of it so far, not all of it.
But you are different. We've only just met, yet you not only believe everything I say, but you also consider me an ally.
I was deeply moved by this.
But I still can't help saying, if I were a bad person, you'd probably be in deep trouble because of me.
Lin Zhennan felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
Because Gu Qianbei had completely hit the nail on the head.
He did still harbor some disbelief.
This stemmed from the suspicions he harbored after years of navigating the underworld.
Gu Qianbei could completely understand this.
In the world of martial arts, those who blindly trust others rarely end up well.
"But you're a good person."
Lin Pingzhi asked, puzzled.
"You can't judge a person's character by their appearance; you can't tell if someone is good or bad just by saying a few words."
Alright, Brother Lin, that's all for now.
I'll go first, but I think we'll meet again soon.
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly and left with Yang Guo.
Lin Pingzhi tried to stop him, but Lin Zhennan stopped him.
"Father, do you really not believe Brother Gu's words?"
Lin Pingzhi asked in confusion.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I have to be careful."
This young master Gu is indeed extraordinary; he can see through people's hearts and knows how to maintain proper boundaries.
If he stays, even if the Qingcheng Sect comes knocking, we won't be able to tell whether Yu Canghai is doing it for him or for the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.
If he leaves and Yu Canghai comes back, then it will prove that his information is true.
He was proving the truth in his own way.
Because he didn't want to explain too much; he wanted to prove everything with facts.
In this way, we don't need to worry, and he doesn't need to waste his breath.
Lin Zhennan said slowly.
As he watched Gu Qianbei's departing figure, a sense of admiration welled up in his heart.
As a seasoned veteran, he still had to admire Gu Qianbei's methods.
He tried to protect himself, but ended up doing everything he wanted to do.
This is a kind of wisdom.
"Will Brother Gu be in danger? What did he mean by saying we'll see each other again soon?"
Lin Pingzhi pressed for an answer.
"He dared to travel the world with his apprentice and kill Yu Renyan, which shows that he was extremely confident in his own strength, so there was naturally no danger for him."
As for his statement that we'll see each other again soon, he means that he will reappear to help us once we confirm that the Qingcheng Sect is after the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.
Lin Zhennan explained.
"Really? The meaning of just two sentences is so complicated."
Lin Pingzhi expressed shock.
Is this what the martial arts world is like?
This is really too difficult.
Lin Zhennan patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder.
"You still have a lot to learn. Let's not talk about that now. Let's gather the strength of the escort agency and prepare to deal with the attack from the Qingcheng Sect."
"Yes, Father."
Fuwei Escort Agency has entered a state of combat readiness.
Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo found an inn to settle down.
"Master, are you planning to get involved in the conflict between the Qingcheng Sect and the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
Yang Guo asked curiously.
"That's right. Originally, I could choose to participate or not. But now that I've killed Yu Renyan, I have no choice but to participate."
"Master, it's all my fault for causing you trouble."
Yang Guo said with remorse.
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly and said, "This is no trouble at all. Instead of feeling guilty, you should practice your skills properly."
The goal I've set for you is to break through to the Acquired Realm within a year.
You can only go ahead, not postpone, understand?
Yang Guo immediately perked up and said, "Understood, Master!"
After saying that, he approached Gu Qianbei with a curious look on his face.
"Master, is the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual of Fuwei Escort Agency really that powerful? Even a major sect like Qingcheng Sect is shamelessly trying to steal it."
And the Huashan Sect disciples we saw today, could they also be after the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?
Otherwise, why would they disguise themselves as the tavern owner and his grandson, secretly keeping an eye on Lin Pingzhi and his group?
Gu Qianbei couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.
Yang Guo was indeed clever; he immediately guessed the purpose of the Huashan Sect.
"With your intelligence, I'm really not worried about you getting taken advantage of in the martial arts world."
The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is indeed powerful, but in the eyes of true masters, it's nothing more than a useless tool.
Its strength lies in its ability to provide quick results.
If an ordinary person obtains it, they can break through to the Innate Realm or even the Grandmaster Realm within a year.
Back then, Lin Yuantu relied on it to cultivate to the Grandmaster realm, defeating countless masters to establish the great reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency.
"If it's so powerful and cultivates so quickly, then its drawbacks must be huge, right?"
Is it because of this drawback that the Lin family hasn't cultivated the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual that everyone's martial arts skills are so poor?
Otherwise, it's only been a little over twenty years since Lin Yuantu passed away; surely it wouldn't have been lost to time.
Yang Guo was initially shocked, and then he realized the biggest problem.
Because of Gu Qianbei's tutelage these past few days, he has come to understand that martial arts is something that requires gradual refinement.
Cultivating both body and mind is the true path.
The Golden Light Mantra is the most orthodox method.
Only by constantly cultivating one's physical body and tempering one's will can one obtain great power.
The speed at which the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is mastered is clearly unreasonable; there must be some major drawback.
Gu Qianbei was very satisfied with Yang Guo's reaction and said, "That's right. It has many drawbacks."
When practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, the yang energy in the body will increase greatly, which is too much for ordinary people to bear and can easily lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.
The only way to solve this problem is through castration!
"What?!"
Yang Guo was startled, and his legs tightened instinctively.
These side effects are too severe.
