Chapter 180 Borrowing a Knife
Chapter 180 Borrowing a Knife
De Qiusi suddenly laughed, looking carefree, and said with emotion: "As expected of Aunt Pei, you are truly as good as a god. You can even deduce this situation clearly, without any error."
"What surprised me even more is that your understanding of Gu Zhuo seems to be... more than what Si Li knows?"
He sighed and said, "It would be great if I could ask you for advice before I do this today."
Pei Jinge looked at him quietly.
"Ok."
De Qiusi spread his hands and said with a look of shame: "I admit that I messed up this time, but I don't think it's my problem."
Pei Jinge smiled and said, "Whose problem is that?"
De Qiusi said without hesitation, "Of course it's my master's problem. If he had asked me to consult you beforehand, would I be in this state now?"
"Hey, please don't worry, Aunt Pei. This time when I go back to the capital, I will scold my stubborn master for you. I will let that old man know that the Sky Patrol can lose anyone, but it cannot lose you, Aunt Pei!"
Having said this, he seemed extremely indignant and slammed the table hard.
boom!
Then, De Qiusi's expression suddenly became sincere, and he said sincerely: "Since Aunt Pei has waited for you, it's time for me to leave. After all, I still have a lot of things to do next."
As he said this, he stood up naturally, bowed seriously, turned around and was about to leave.
Pei Jinge turned a blind eye to it.
Suddenly, De Qiusi stopped.
He slowly turned around, stared at Pei Jinge's profile, and asked curiously, "Aunt Pei, why did you invite guests over?"
There were footsteps outside the private room.
Pei Jinge shook his head and said, "You think too much."
De Qiusi's expression was slightly gloomy. Many thoughts came to his mind in a short period of time, but he couldn't figure out the reasons.
Just like he had said to Pei Jinge before, before doing this, the first thing he considered was how to stay out of it, that is, to hide himself well.
Logically speaking, no matter how much Gu Zhuo was loved by the people of Wangjing, it was impossible for them to find any trace of him and come to him at this time, because Wangjing was, after all, the Wangjing of Daqin.
The only explanation is that there is something wrong with Pei Jinge.
However, she has denied it herself.
How did Gu Zhuo do it?
De Qiusi's expression became increasingly ugly.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears.
"The guests have arrived."
Gu Zhuo pushed the door open and walked in. Without even glancing at De Qiusi, he calmly asked, "Why did you leave your seat, sir?"
……
……
There was dead silence in the private room.
De Qiusi narrowed his eyes and did not respond immediately. His gaze fell on Gu Zhuo, looking at him carefully.
His black hair was slightly messy and his clothes were slightly torn, but there was not a speck of dust or dirt on his body.
Those eyes, which showed no emotion, were like the deep sea when there was no wind, quiet and peaceful.
No one knows what kind of horror is hidden beneath the sea.
Such a person must be scary, and it is indeed worth meeting him face to face and having a few good words with him.
Thinking of this, De Qiusi cleared his throat and had already thought about how to start this conversation.
The first thing to do, of course, is to deny, and be shocked and surprised that such a thing could happen.
Yes, Gu Zhuo would most likely be angry about this, but it didn’t matter, because his current injuries must be serious and he couldn’t take any action. At most he would just say a few harsh words.
What is there to be afraid of?
Thoughts are but a moment.
De Qiusi thought so, politely suppressed the smile on his lips, and prepared to speak.
Then, he suddenly discovered something.
Gu Zhuo was looking at Pei Jinge from beginning to end.
The two said three sentences.
"Am I mistaken?"
"No."
"That's fine."
Gu Zhuo nodded in thanks.
Pei Jinge shook his head.
Looking at this scene, De Qiusi suddenly had a very bad premonition.
The next moment, his premonition suddenly came true.
Gu Zhuo turned around, took a step forward, and punched out.
This punch was very simple and direct, without any frills, and it was extremely powerful and pure.
Even at this point, De Qiusi was still somewhat dazed.
When the fist hit his face like a mountain and the tremendous true energy surged out, his pupils just began to shrink, but the intense pain had already spread from his nose and spread to his whole body in an instant.
There was a loud bang!
People inside and outside the restaurant were startled. People on the street subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a big hole in the second floor of the restaurant. A figure flew out from it and fell directly onto the street, followed by a thunderous roar.
Smoke and dust were everywhere.
De Qiusi was lying in the pit he had dug before he realized what had happened, his eyes full of disbelief.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, along with several front teeth. He wanted to breathe but found that his entire nose was broken. The blood stuck in his nostrils and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Of course he is not an ordinary person!
He is the little disciple of the Chief of the Sky Patrol Department!
He has a more powerful realm than Wang Mo and has already entered the state of unity!
He always thought that he was stronger than Gu Zhuo, but this was not a battle at all, it was just an unruly sneak attack!
Countless emotions surged in De Qiusi's heart, causing him to shout angrily: "How dare you sneak attack me!?"
The answer to this question is no longer fists.
It's the feet.
Before the smoke and dust settled, Gu Zhuo had already arrived at the shallow pit, raised his foot and stepped down.
This kick still stepped on De Qiusi's face.
boom!
Dust rose again and gravel scattered.
The people on the street had already hidden to both sides, watching the scene with shock and tension on their faces, watching the shallow pit getting deeper visibly, and hearing the screams that were stepped on before they could even come out.
Pei Jinge walked out of the restaurant leisurely, tilting his head slightly, and admired with interest.
Further away, the bigwigs in Wangjing had already received the news and rushed to the venue, but they were at a loss as to what to do.
In the smoke.
Of course De Qiusi tried to resist, unwilling to endure such humiliation, but every time before his true energy was about to start flowing, a sword energy would penetrate his meridians with incredible precision, cutting off his true energy that was about to start flowing.
This forced him to have his face stepped on by that foot again and again until he couldn't utter a word. His mouth and nose were filled with dirt and dust. He wanted to cough but couldn't, and could only swallow the blood.
He didn't even dare to open his eyes, and kept his eyelids tightly closed, feeling afraid but even more angry.
He knew he would not die, and this would not kill him, but precisely because he knew he would not die, the pain brought by the intense humiliation became even more obvious.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the pit was more than ten feet deep, the roar finally stopped.
Gu Zhuo seemed to be tired and walked out of the pit.
De Qiusi was still lying in the pit.
In fact, his injuries were not too serious. Although his spiritual heart was overwhelmed by various emotions, his consciousness was still clear, and he was clear in great pain.
The officials of Wangjing Sky Patrol had already discovered the incident and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, eager to stop it from happening. However...the big shots in Wangjing City arrived faster than them and clearly expressed their disapproval, so they could only do nothing and watch.
The long street was dead silent.
Gu Zhuo took a step forward and walked towards Pei Jinge.
De Qiusi listened to the footsteps, touched his face with trembling hands, and suddenly screamed hoarsely, cursing angrily: "How dare you humiliate me like this, do you know who I am!?"
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Zhuo didn't even turn his head and said casually: "It's OK as long as I know that I didn't hit the wrong person."
……
……
Gu Zhuo looked at the bigwigs of the old Wangjing clans, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you today."
Everyone responded with gentle smiles, indicating that it was not necessary, and offering care and condolences.
For some reason, everyone felt that after today, this peerless genius would have a deeper connection with Wangjing and would never be able to say goodbye to this old capital.
It is perfectly normal to give support at this moment, and there is no need to hesitate. Gu Zhuo thanked him sincerely.
Soon, someone surrounded the deep pit and kept De Qiusi inside, not allowing him to leave.
After the smoke and dust clears, that horrific face will be revealed to the world.
Gu Zhuo walked towards Pei Jinge.
Pei Jinge looked at him and said softly, "Actually, I'm a little surprised."
Gu Zhuo said: "Do you think I will kill this man?"
Until this moment, he still didn't know the name De Qiusi, because nothing here had ever heard of it.
"Yes."
Pei Jinge said: "The you who does this is the you that I know."
Gu Zhuo did not deny or admit it. He changed the subject very abruptly and said, "I have something else to talk to you about."
Pei Jinge raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely guessing a possibility, and said with a smile: "Then let's go."
The two walked side by side.
The crowd of onlookers naturally separated into a path, like a wave spreading out to both sides.
Walking among countless sights, he and she felt as if they were in a leisurely garden, where they could stroll leisurely.
"This man is called De Qiusi, and he is the little apprentice of the Master."
Pei Jinge's voice was inexplicably brisk, and the joy was obvious, but it was by no means gloating.
As early as the moment she was called Aunt Pei, she had a reason to take action.
No woman likes to be called old, especially a beauty like her in the prime of her life.
Gu Zhuo nodded, indicating that he heard it.
Then he asked calmly, "Why did you come?"
Pei Jinge said: "Come and see you."
Gu Zhuo did not ask her why she did not take action earlier since she came to see him, and just let everything happen.
This is a meaningless question.
Just as spiritual practice is one’s own business, by the same token, one should not rely on others for life and death.
"Did you see what you wanted to see?"
"It's a worthwhile trip."
Pei Jinge’s answer was very clear.
Gu Zhuo said no more.
Not long after, the two arrived outside the ruins.
Song Jinglun was still left where he was, looking miserable and terrified.
Gu Zhuo did not speak to him, but said to the local masters of Wangjing who were responsible for guarding him, "Let's go to another place, farther away from the old imperial city."
This statement was quite confusing, but no one asked why. After all, it was not a big deal, so they just did as they were told.
At this moment, the dark blue in the sky is about to disappear and be replaced by night.
The lights in the world have already been turned on.
Compared with the past, Wangjing City is much quieter tonight.
The long street leading to the old imperial city was almost deserted.
This is of course because of Gu Zhuo and Pei Jinge.
Many people have a vague feeling that something big is likely to happen today, but they cannot believe it because of rationality.
The man in the old palace was the Supervisor.
The Supervisor is no ordinary person and plays a vital role in the current court.
More importantly, his realm had already reached a high level many years ago, and although he and Jin Cancan both seemed to be in the Pure Realm, everyone knew that the two could not be compared.
Otherwise, how could Jin Cancan almost die from the purification spell that was not cast by the supervisor himself?
Moreover, the biggest connection between today's extremely dangerous assassination and the Supervisor's behavior should be the incompetence of the followers.
Thinking about these things, people gradually felt relieved and thought that Gu Zhuo came here just to ask for an explanation.
……
……
"You said you were surprised..."
Gu Zhuo suddenly said: "Because I didn't kill De Qiusi."
Pei Jinge smiled slightly and said, "It's not surprising now. It makes sense not to kill him. You have more important things to do."
Gu Zhuo said: "I will trouble you later..."
His voice stopped abruptly because Pei Jinge didn't let him finish and said "OK" without thinking.
Gu Zhuo was silent for a while, then looked at her and said, "Now I am a little surprised."
Pei Jinge said: "Do you think I will hate you because of what happened before?"
Gu Zhuo said: "At least I hate it."
Pei Jinge said: "Actually, you are a very good-looking person."
Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Then?"
"But your character is really..."
Pei Jinge turned her head to look at his face, paused, and then said: "I can't hate you."
Gu Zhuo wanted to say something, like the wording in his words was problematic, and that the word shouldn't be used like that at all, but he ultimately remained silent.
……
……
Walk through the long streets and enter the old imperial city.
The towers and pavilions remain the same, and the spring scenery on the willows along the palace walls remains the same, without diminishing.
There were many officials in the old imperial city, and almost everyone was looking at the two men with complicated expressions.
The supervisor stood in front of the main hall.
The traces left by the evening rain have not yet faded, and there is water on the steps, which contrasts with the dark blue of the sky, making it even more cool.
Gu Zhuo stopped in front of the stone steps.
For some reason, Pei Jinge lagged behind him by half a body length.
This makes many people feel uncomfortable watching it.
There was silence in front of the hall.
The supervisor looked at him, smiled, and said with emotion: "Using the Purification Mantra to heal your own injuries is such an amazing method. Even I find it difficult to do it. I didn't expect you to be able to do it."
After hearing these words, the people who followed finally understood why Jin Cancan did not die under the Purification Mantra and why Gu Zhuo had to pass through that empty and clear world.
Gu Zhuo didn't say anything.
The person who spoke was Pei Jinge.
This sentence was said to Gu Zhuo.
"I think what you want to trouble me about is..."
She smiled, so beautiful that it was beyond description, and said, "Borrow a knife."
An unsheathed long knife appeared in her hand.
Pei Jinge was holding the scabbard.
The supervisor's expression suddenly changed.
The old imperial city was in an uproar.
The shocked voice rose to the sky, causing the raindrops on the ground to tremble uneasy.
Gu Zhuo turned a deaf ear to it.
He reached out his hand, calmly grasped the knife, and said, "And kill people."
As the words fell, the knife was unsheathed.
Visible to all beings in heaven and earth.
