Chapter 296: Why is there so much trouble in this godforsaken place?
Jiang Lingyun knew that Gu Heng wanted her help, and Jian Xuan had also told her about it.
She was happy to help, of course, since she owed the other party a favor and had to repay it.
Reputation is very important among the strong. Sometimes, a single word can carry the weight of heaven and earth. Although Jiang Lingyun rarely concern herself with matters other than sword practice and cultivation, she is not careless about her own reputation.
She was just a little confused.
Even she couldn't fathom the strength of Young Master Gu. Was there anything in the world that he couldn't accomplish?
If he can't do it, then I might not be able to do it myself. It's possible.
Young Master Gu simply didn't want to take action himself, so he just asked someone else to do it. If that was the case, Jiang Lingyun didn't care who she beat up.
There are very few people in the world that she would seriously beat with both hands.
"Well..."
Gu Heng gave an awkward smile.
"Of course I can do this myself, but that would probably affect my life. So, I have no choice but to swallow my pride and ask Sect Leader Jiang for help."
This is actually part of the reason.
Indeed, the system has given him a lot of things now. If he uses any one of them, Yu Yinzi will be like a bug in front of him, easily crushed.
But what happens after that?
This guy has quite a powerful background. Even if Gu Heng kills him, he can't guarantee that others won't know. These influential people from powerful families seem to have some way of letting their own people know that he has met with misfortune.
If he kills one of the younger ones, the older one will bring his whole family to settle the score with him...
To be honest, Gu Heng didn't shy away from killing. He had killed people long ago, using low-down methods like poisoning. After all, as a mortal, even if you want to live a leisurely life, it's not always so easy.
However, he was wary of the possibility of "collateral damage" happening to him.
Admittedly, even though Qianyin Valley ultimately sacrificed everything to avenge Yuyinzi, the sudden death of such a behemoth at his hands made Gu Heng truly famous.
He became famous as a "strongman".
By then, his current life will be completely transformed.
Gu Heng himself didn't really care; the system would help him no matter what. But what about the people around him?
Especially that little girl, Qin Yiyao?
How could she accept that her mortal master, with whom she had lived for so long, was actually a "strongman" who could erase even extraordinary forces, yet he still insisted on keeping her in a small town, living a life like an ordinary person every day?
Although thinking this way was somewhat underestimating the little girl's trust in him, Gu Heng really didn't want her to suddenly have to accept this "fact".
Things that happen too suddenly are sometimes hard to accept.
She is still young and has lived a hard life in the past. Gu Heng now wants her to continue living a peaceful life. Of course, he also wants to find a way to enable her to cultivate, but Gu Heng plans to do it step by step.
At the very least, he needs to be able to cultivate so that the little girl can gradually accept the changes in her life, right?
Furthermore.
Gu Heng really didn't want to waste his precious "temporary experience voucher" on trash like Yu Yinzi.
He's not qualified yet.
After much deliberation, Gu Heng decided to ask Jiang Lingyun for help.
First, he helped her recognize Jian Xuan, and she admitted that she owed him a favor. It doesn't matter whether she uses such connections sooner or later.
"I understand……"
Jiang Lingyun nodded.
Sure enough.
Young Master Gu could make a move, but he was worried that his secluded life would be disrupted as a result.
Although it sounds strange, Jiang Lingyun has met many old monsters who are similar to him, so she understands the thoughts of a "recluse" like him: a peaceful life is more important than anything else.
"Since Young Master Gu has said so, I will naturally do my best."
Jiang Lingyun readily agreed. "In that case, I, Gu, will thank Sect Leader Jiang in advance."
Gu Heng cupped his hands in greeting, then took out six jars of his own brewed wine and pushed them toward Jiang Lingyun, saying, "My homemade wine is not particularly valuable, but since Sect Leader Jiang enjoys it, I hope you will accept it as a token of my appreciation."
Jiang Lingyun glanced at the wine jar in front of her and immediately smiled.
Serving her four jars of wine as a thank-you gift was quite a gesture, considering that she only had three things she loved: Jian Xuan, swords, and wine.
"So, who does Young Master Gu intend to target?"
She put the wine jar away.
"Yuyinzi."
Jiang Lingyun's smile faltered slightly.
Okay.
No wonder he brought out six jars of wine; it turns out he wanted her to kill the only precious son of the Valley Master of Thousand Sound Valley.
No need to think twice, kill him, that old bastard Yu Quzi will definitely go crazy.
After a moment, she raised her head, her gaze cold: "May I ask what that guy did to offend you?"
"To put it simply, he didn't provoke me. It's just that there's a young woman whose life and fortune are now threatened by that beast. I just can't stand it."
Gu Heng smiled.
He ignored the rewards the system would give him.
Anyway, Jiang Lingyun wouldn't believe in the existence of the system, right?
"The girl you're talking about... could it be Liu Yu, the musical prodigy from the Liu family?"
Jiang Lingyun narrowed her eyes.
"Exactly."
After a long pause, she sighed.
My trip to the Sunfire Dynasty has somehow gotten me involved in so many things...
Could it be that the old fortune teller, Xuanji Saint Venerable, had foreseen this all along but simply didn't tell her?
