Chapter 367: Chapter 193: Creating a Person for Fun (Part 3)
Possessing the combat puppet, Ye Qingzhou turned to Yingyue: "Take care of the house, I need to go out for a while."
"Alright, my lord."
Yingyue nestled against Ye Qingzhouâs body, then couldnât resist reaching out her hand, touching him all over with a mischievous intent.
Ye Qingzhou was speechless and could only communicate with her through Divine Thought: "Stop touching."
"Got it, my lord is really stingy."
Hearing this, Yingyue pretended to be angry, pouting her lips, with enchanting lips and eyes like water, exuding a unique charm.
Ye Qingzhou shook his head with a smile, then ignored her, his figure moved and disappeared into the moonlight.
...
The moon was dark, the wind high, a night for killing.
The Star City Gu Clan, renowned as a Martial Arts Family for over 180 years, once produced two Grandmasters and twenty-seven Masters, making it a formidable force in the Martial Arts World of Dongji Kingdom.
After all, without a Martial Saint, a Grandmaster was the strongest, enough to ensure the familyâs power wouldnât decline.
Unfortunately, the current Star City Gu Clan had both Grandmasters passed away, leaving the familyâs strongest force as six Martial Arts Masters.
Among them, Gu Changqing had the greatest potential and the best chance to advance to Grandmaster.
Among the remaining five, Gu Guangqi had been missing for several months, actually killed by Ye Qingzhou, so now the Gu Family truly only had five Masters left.
Gu Guangqi hadnât returned for months, not even for the New Year. The Gu Family members, even if dull, sensed something wrong, realizing he must have met some mishap.
After several inquiries, Gu Changheng could only reveal the truth.
Upon learning that Gu Guangqi likely died at Ye Qingzhouâs hands, the rest of the Gu Family exploded with anger, accusations fell upon Gu Changqing like snowflakes.
Clearly, they were very displeased with Gu Changqingâs past efforts to protect Ye Qingzhou: "Changqing, youâre foolish, for a woman, you kept that Ye brat."
"Thatâs right, I said long ago we should root him out completely, and now look what happened?"
"This kid now has the Flame Emperor Sword, itâs said he can mobilize Divine Weapon Emperor Wu, killing Masters with his sword. Even Lii Yaoping died by his hand. Recently, he almost single-handedly wiped out the Wuxi Fu Clan."
"If we donât come up with a plan to solve this hidden danger, our Gu Family is finished!"
The elders speaking were the ones who supported taking action against Ye Qingzhou earlier.
They secretly set traps against Ye Xiangyang behind Gu Changqingâs back, resulting in Ye Xiangyangâs severe injury, losing his chance to advance further in the Martial Dao.
Now, they are clamoring to kill Ye Qingzhou, to root him out completely, and end all worries.
Gu Changqing was very annoyed at this moment, pressing his brow as he asked: "What do you want me to do? I disagreed when you attacked Ye Xiangyang. I had a gentlemanâs contention with Brother Ye, we wouldnât become close friends, but at least not mortal enemies. Now youâre calling for uprooting him. Is this the magnanimity of our Gu Family?"
"Gu Changqing! Is this how you speak to us elders?"
"How ungrateful, donât forget how you gained your cultivation!"
"Without the Gu Family, would you have todayâs glory!"
The family elders angrily rebuked, greatly dissatisfied with Gu Changqingâs words: "What are we doing this for? Isnât it for the familyâs reputation, for the familyâs interests?"
"Opportunistic, retaliatory, indulging in scheming and deceit all day, how can one cut through obstacles and transcend oneself on the Martial Dao road with such a mentality?"
Gu Changqing stood up in anger, turned, and left.
For the elders of the Gu Family, he was truly disappointed. The familyâs way of doing things had completely deviated from his original intention of learning martial arts.
Moreover, a Martial Arts Family, mired in petty intrigues all day, using low methods, such a mindset with no great ambitions, cannot possibly climb the higher peaks of Martial Dao.
Since the familyâs old generation Grandmasters passed away, no new Grandmasters have emerged, for this reason.
In Gu Changqingâs eyes, the elders of the family, even as villains, were not qualified, only capable of petty tricks and schemes.
Gu Changheng chased outside: "Second Brother!"
In the deliberation hall, several elders were so angry they blew their beards and glared, cursing loudly.
"What impertinence!"
"Rebellion! His wings have hardened, ignoring us elders!"
Several elders turned their gaze to Gu Changqingâs father, Gu Tingwei, their tone filled with three parts blame and seven parts dissatisfaction: "Tingwei, what do you say?"
"Is there still time to argue whoâs right or wrong now?"
Gu Tingweiâs face was grim, his mood equally unpleasant: "Ye Qingzhou is now powerful, unless a Martial Saint acts, who can guarantee a one-hit kill?"
"With the Six Stances Sword Technique out, a Martial Saint is impossible to participate, the authorities wonât stand idly by."
"Thus, the only way to kill Ye Qingzhou remains just one."
"What way?"
"A Grandmaster acts, we wait behind. Though Divine Weapon Emperor Wu is strong, itâs not without countermeasures, but the cost is great."
"You mean... use that thing?"
"If not now, bring it to the grave?"
Gu Tingwei asked fiercely, though the surrounding elders were reluctant, they ultimately didnât refute.
Someone only asked: "But the problem is, where do we find a Grandmaster?"
"We donât need to find one, Zhao Baoming is about to leave seclusion. I have reliable sources reporting he successfully advanced to Grandmaster two days ago, now stabilizing his realm. His only relatives, his sister and nephew, died at Ye Qingzhouâs hands. With his personality, he will definitely seek revenge."
"Good, this plan is excellent!"
"Ye Qingzhou, letâs see how you die this time!"
Several elders clapped their hands in approval.
At this moment, a Divine Thought from outside penetrated the minds of everyone in the Gu Family mansion: "The Gu Family is doomed."
