Chapter 157
The Seventh Elder's face immediately turned green.
He was not only angry at Gu Yun's tyranny, but also at Xiao Shi's stupidity.
Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, you can offend anyone, but why did you offend Gu Yun?
Even if you offended him, you can't just admit it in front of Gu Yun!
Now, he has no choice but to give Gu Yun an explanation. For the benefit of the family, the Seventh Elder said without hesitation,"Come on, take Xiao Shi down for me."
The guards of the Xiao family naturally didn't say much. They came to Xiao Shi in an instant and pressed him to the ground.
Xiao Shi was immediately panicked and said quickly,"Seventh Elder... spare my life, I... I……"
At this moment, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
He just wanted to stand up for Xiao Xun, how could it turn out like this?
The other members of the Xiao family also took a breath of cold air and shrank back guiltily.
Obviously, they were also afraid of being targeted.
After all, they were also responsible for bullying Xiao Yan'er and speaking rudely to Gu Yun.
Before Gu Yun could speak again, the Seventh Elder took the lead and said,"Son, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. The Xiao family was also outdated for not disciplining the children of the family."
"Well, if you are still willing to let our Xiao family develop the spiritual mine you mentioned, we are willing to give up 10% of the profits as compensation, what do you think?"
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, the Seventh Elder has already lowered his posture so much.
If Gu Yun continues to be aggressive, it seems that he is bullying.
But what Gu Yun wants is to bully others.
He sneered and said disdainfully:"I said, this man deserves to die!"
"Today, someone dared to bully my, Gu Yun’s woman so blatantly and insult me so blatantly. If I don’t make an example of him to scare the monkeys, wouldn’t that tell others that I, Gu Yun, am easy to bully?"
"I have only been in Tianyu for a few days, and others think I am easy to bully. How can I survive in Tianyu in the future?"
The Seventh Elder frowned and looked at Gu Yun in embarrassment. The others also became angry. Especially the young people of the Xiao family, they clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Their eyes were full of anger when they looked at Gu Yun.
"Gu Yun, don't go too far."
"That’s right, you killed someone just because I scolded you, this is too much?"
Gu Yun sneered, looked at the people of the Xiao family with disdain, and said:"I just bullied you, what can you do?"
"If Yan'er wasn't from your Xiao family, do you think you are worthy enough to stand here and talk to me?"
"Wake up, the Xiao family is no longer the same Xiao family as before."
Gu Yun's words were like a club, hitting everyone in the Xiao family hard.
It was painful and humiliating.
But everyone had nothing to say except lowering their heads and gritting their teeth.
Because what Gu Yun said was indeed the truth, but they were still living in the past and did not clearly realize this.
And now, someone slapped them hard in public.
Only then did they really realize this clearly.
Even the seventh elder felt a little sad.
Unexpectedly, the current Xiao family can even bully the juniors of the Donghuang Holy Land at will.
But in this matter, the Xiao family was indeed wrong first. He was too ashamed to say anything more, so he could only look at Xiao Yan'er pleadingly, hoping that Xiao Yan'er could speak for the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan'er naturally felt the pleading eyes of the seventh elder, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart.
No matter what, this is the place where she has lived for more than ten years.
The people around her are also blood relatives.
She couldn't help but look at Gu Yun and pleaded,"Brother Gu Yun, let's forget it."
Gu Yun chuckled, looked at Xiao Yan'er and said,"You were soft-hearted to him today, but in the future, if he gets the chance, he may not be so soft-hearted to you."
"Yan'er, remember, since we have already made enemies, we must root them out."
"You have been lonely for so many years, don't you understand this truth?"
Xiao Yan'er was stunned.
Indeed, when she was at the peak of her career, she accidentally offended many people.
These people were all polite to her when she was at the peak of her career.
But when she fell from grace, they all sought revenge on her without exception.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan'er's heart hardened, and she immediately said to Gu Yun:"Brother Gu Yun, then I will listen to you."
"Just don't implicate other members of the Xiao family."
In this way, she has saved the Xiao family.
As for Xiao Shi, what does his life or death have to do with her?
Hearing this, Gu Yun also smiled, then looked at the Seventh Elder and said,"Seventh Elder, then do as Yan'er says and make this Xiao Shi disappear from the world."
"I will forgive the Xiao family for what happened. I will let this matter go. I said the cooperation can still continue."
For a moment, no one spoke.
As expected, as long as it does not harm their interests, the death of a fellow tribesman is nothing.
Xiao Shi was even more frightened and trembling. His face was ashen and he shouted in panic.
"Seventh Elder, save me"
"Everyone, please help me speak up!"
Seeing that no one was moved, even the Seventh Elder chose to acquiesce to Gu Yun's request.
Xiao Shi was completely desperate.
He couldn't help but shouted:"I just saw injustice and wanted to seek justice for Xiao Xun, why did it end up like this?"
Hearing this, Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at him playfully, and asked:"You want to seek justice for Xiao Xun?"
"What justice are you asking for?"
Xiao Shi was completely desperate at this moment. He thought that he had no hope of survival, and he no longer felt afraid of Gu Yun.
He snorted coldly and said arrogantly:"Xiao Yan'er had always been taken care of by Xiao Xun. Now that she has attached herself to you, she has abandoned Xiao Xun. Can't I say anything about this kind of person who forgets his loyalty for the sake of profit?"
Gu Yun laughed. It seemed that this was just a fool who was used by Xiao Xun.
He then asked in return:"Oh, then it seems that you know a lot about the relationship between Xiao Yan'er and Xiao Xun."
"Then let me ask you, how did Xiao Xun take care of Xiao Yan'er?"
Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, speechless.
"he……"
In fact, he only knew that Xiao Xun and Xiao Yan'er were usually close.
As for the specific relationship between the two of them, he didn't know.
And the reason why he felt that Xiao Yan'er was greedy for profit was entirely because of what Xiao Xun said.
But Xiao Xun said so much, but he didn't specifically say what he had done for Xiao Yan'er.
He blushed and didn't speak.
But Gu Yun smiled and said playfully:
"So, you don't know anything, but just heard a few words, and then you pretended to be a righteous man to bully a girl?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shi's face became even more embarrassed.
Not only him, but also the other children of the Xiao family around him were extremely embarrassed.
In the end, Xiao Shi looked at Gu Yun unconvinced and said,
"Xiao Xun is a genius of our Xiao family, and he is usually kind and well behaved."
"Could it be that he deliberately lied to me?"
At this time, Xiao Yan'er also understood that it turned out that all this was caused by Xiao Xun.
She just rejected the flowers he sent, and he made up rumors about her behind her back?
How could this man be so shameless?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan'er was so angry that her teeth itched. She looked around for Xiao Xun.
Gu Yun laughed and said,"Hahaha, since you are standing up for Xiao Xun, then let's do this."
"As long as he comes out and does what I say, as long as he can stand up for you, then I will spare you, how about that?"
