So Many Crooked Tricks, Feeling Utterly Humiliated
So Many Crooked Tricks, Feeling Utterly Humiliated
“We beg Daren to spare our lives. We were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai, and have offended you greatly...”
The group of Life Spirits from the Ancient Mystic Mountains knelt there, their faces drained of all color, deathly pale, utterly terrified.
The way they looked, it was as if they had encountered their natural predator.
Where was even a trace of the overbearing arrogance and insufferable haughtiness they had arrived with?
Watching this scene, the members of the Lin Family felt secretly delighted.
No matter how impressive your backing, before Gongzi Gu, don’t you all still have to kneel?
“Why has it come to this...”
At this moment, Ye Liuli’s face was faintly pale, her jade hand gripping her longsword tightly.
She wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, she was smarter than most people her age.
From those words just now, she could tell.
The Gu Changge before her had a status no lower than hers—if anything, higher.
Although behind her stood the Ancient Immortal Races of the Beyond, Gu Changge was the sole son of the Master of the Longevity Gu Family.
Her father didn’t only have her as a daughter—he merely doted on her more.
Gu Changge, in all likelihood, would one day take control of the Family of Immortals.
A terrifying status like that was, at the very least, not something the current her could compare to.
Thinking of this, Ye Liuli felt a trace of despair. Why had Ye Chen-gege provoked such a powerful enemy?
She had thought that with her own methods and background, she could easily settle everything.
But now it seemed that had been pure wishful thinking on her part—she had thought too much.
Ye Liuli’s face grew even paler, her expression no longer the same as when she had first arrived.
“Xiaojie, this whole matter is completely a misunderstanding. Hurry and apologize to Gongzi Gu.”
At this point, Xue Yi also began persuading Ye Liuli. “What kind of status does Gongzi Gu have? How could he possibly care about a little ant like Ye Chen? You’ve gotten everything wrong.”
In her view, building good relations with the Gongzi Gu before them was more important than anything else.
How could Xiaojie be so stupid? How could she not understand even this?
She felt a bit of regret in her heart. If she had known, she would have kept it from Xiaojie, secretly found Ye Chen, and slapped that brat to death to be done with it once and for all.
To provoke the displeasure of Gongzi Gu over something like this—how utterly foolish.
“Xue Yi, you needn’t say more. I will never apologize to him. It’s his fault that Ye Chen-gege is fleeing in all directions, reduced to a homeless stray dog...” Ye Liuli said stubbornly, her eyes full of unwillingness. She would not apologize just because of this.
This scene, naturally, did not escape Gu Changge’s eyes.
His face remained calm and indifferent, betraying nothing, but inwardly he couldn’t help sneering.
In the end, she was just a little girl. How big a storm could she possibly stir up?
Though, considering Ye Liuli’s status—the little princess of the Ancient Ye Family?
Gu Changge felt he could make some use of that.
Wasn’t she childhood sweethearts with Ye Chen, having grown up together, holding deep affection for him?
Ye Chen happened to be her weakness.
Speaking of which, the Ancient Ye Family’s influence in the Beyond was not small. As one of the Ancient Myriad Races close to immortals, they were said to possess the blood of immortals.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Changge’s mouth curled with amusement, and the schemes in his heart grew more detailed.
One must not forget—he was the Successor of Taboo Demonic Arts, and moreover bore a Demonic Heart.
He wasn’t lacking in much of anything, but crooked, unorthodox tricks? Those he had in abundance.
Controlling a single Ye Liuli was far too easy.
At once, a trace of impatience surfaced in his expression, and his voice carried a hint of coldness. “So, what exactly is your purpose here? If you don’t give Gu a proper accounting for today’s events, even if you’re an Ancient Immortal Race...”
“Ming Lao.”
At this point, Gu Changge spoke indifferently toward the empty air.
“Gongzi, your old servant is here!”
Weng!
The next moment, Ming Lao’s figure appeared, a cold, frigid smile on his face.
A terrifying, boundless pressure instantly enveloped the area, causing everyone’s expression to change.
Ye Liuli, in particular, felt a dreadful sense of suffocation!
This was the old servant she had previously believed could never be Xue Yi’s match!
So powerful!
“Gongzi Gu, please calm your anger. Today’s incident was Xiaojie being reckless and offensive.”
Xue Yi’s expression shifted slightly, and she hurriedly moved to block this pressure.
The Ming Lao before her felt very strong!
Both of them could only exert Partial-Enlightened Realm strength in the Overworld, but his full cultivation was higher than hers.
Even if she could contend with him at first, she would definitely fall into a disadvantage soon after.
She was confident she could take Xiaojie and leave.
But that would go against her original intentions—she didn’t want to offend Gu Changge.
Even if she couldn’t curry favor with him, she at least couldn’t afford to offend him.
However, Gu Changge paid no attention whatsoever to this so-called Xue Yi, not even glancing at her.
His expression was placid, yet carried an air of looking down from above!
“Won’t talk? Gu sees that quite a lot of you came...”
“Ming Lao, every breath that passes, kill one for this Gongzi.”
Gu Changge ordered indifferently.
Hearing these words.
The group of Ancient Mystic Mountains beings behind Ye Liuli turned deathly pale with fright, their expressions filled with utter terror. Kneeling on the ground, they cried out for mercy.
“Xiaojie, save us! We don’t want to die!”
“Daren, spare us!”
“You despicable, shameless...”
Hearing this, Ye Liuli’s pretty face also turned white, her body trembling. She hadn’t expected Gu Changge to force her submission like this.
Yet Gu Changge didn’t even look at her.
Su Qingge, on the other hand, thoughtfully brought him out a cup of tea, her smile very sweet. “Gongzi, the tea is ready.”
Gu Changge gave her an approving look.
Worth all the doting I give you.
“Xiaojie, hurry and apologize to Gongzi Gu. Why can’t you figure it out? If Gongzi Gu truly wanted to kill that brat Ye Chen, how could Ye Chen possibly have escaped?”
“Think about it carefully. With such a powerful expert behind Gongzi Gu, what ability does Ye Chen have to escape?”
“This is all a misunderstanding!”
“You’re a princess of the Ancient Immortal Races, and Gongzi Gu is the young master of the Family of Immortals. As long as you apologize, Gongzi Gu surely won’t make things difficult for you...”
Xue Yi sighed inwardly, continuously persuading Ye Liuli. She was only doing this for Xiaojie’s own good.
How could a single Ye Chen be worth Xiaojie offending Gongzi Gu?
“Someone like him can’t possibly be a good person...”
Ye Liuli’s face was full of fury and defiance. She glared fixedly at Gu Changge, as if wishing she could grind his bones to dust and scatter his ashes.
“One breath has passed.”
At that moment, Gu Changge blew on his tea and took a leisurely sip.
“Understood, Gongzi!”
Receiving the order, Ming Lao directly struck out with a palm.
Light flashed, and the void trembled!
Puchi!
Not far away, a young Mystic Mountains being with a deathly pale face and scales growing on his forehead was slapped to death on the spot in despair.
The rest were nearly scared to death.
“Xiaojie, save us! We don’t want to die!”
“We came here for your sake—you can’t just abandon us...”
At this moment, they couldn’t help but feel resentment toward Ye Liuli.
All she had to do was be a little nicer, apologize, and she could save them.
So why wouldn’t she?
Were their lives really worth less than a single word from her?
Gu Changge watched all of this placidly, his expression without the slightest ripple from beginning to end.
Ye Liuli looked at his expression, silver teeth clenched tight, body trembling, incomparably furious.
At this point, she had almost no other choice, and she regretted it immensely.
Should she have Xue Yi make a move?
Clearly, Xue Yi was leaning toward Gu Changge’s side. At this moment, she would absolutely not listen to her.
Thinking of this, Ye Liuli felt nothing but utter humiliation. Practically gritting her teeth, she said, “For today’s incident, Liuli was offensive. I’m sorry... I hope Gongzi Gu can be magnanimous and forgive me...”
