Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Xuanyuan War God

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Youchu slowly regained consciousness. As awareness returned, she cried out instinctively, ”Brother Yuan, run! Godmother, run! I’ll hold them off!”

Cheng Yuan gently patted Shen Youchu’s hand and said with a pained look, ”The enemies have all been slain. You’re safe now. Everyone is safe.”

The panic on Shen Youchu’s face gradually faded. She looked around blankly and realized she was in a room.

”Brother, Godmother wasn’t hurt, was she?”

Wu Xiuli hurried forward, took Shen Youchu’s hand, and said softly, ”Youchu, don’t worry about me. I’m really all right.”

Shen Youchu threw herself into Wu Xiuli’s arms, sobbing her heart out. ”I thought I’d never see you again! I was so scared I’d lose you! I’m so glad you weren’t hurt! Waaah...”

”Waaah... you silly child...”

The two beauties, one older and one younger, clung to each other, a sobbing mess.

Cheng Yuan took out two pills and handed them to Shen Youchu. ”Youchu,” he said gently, ”these are Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pills. When you run out, just ask me for more. I have plenty!”

”Okay, thank you, Brother.”

Cheng Yuan bid farewell to the two women and headed straight for Renhe Court. He couldn’t wait to see his wife.

...

「Provincial City. War God Mansion.」

Countless people had come seeking an audience.

The Xuanyuan War God was responsible for the defense of both Dongshan and West Mountain provinces. With hundreds of thousands of warriors under his command, he was a key commander of the Battle Department with immense regional authority.

Gu Feiyun submitted his calling card and waited a full two hours before he was finally granted an audience with the Xuanyuan War God.

Led by an aide-de-camp, Gu Feiyun entered the study with the utmost respect.

The Xuanyuan War God was a true scholar-general; not only was his combat prowess unmatched, but his calligraphy was exquisite, earning him a reputation as a master of both the martial and fine arts.

Gu Feiyun dared not interrupt the Xuanyuan War God’s brushwork. He waited until the War God had finished, then said with a fawning smile, ”Such magnificent calligraphy! Truly magnificent, War God! The power in your strokes feels as if it could pierce the very paper! Your brush moves with the grace of dragons and snakes! It’s absolutely on par with the great masters of old!”

The Xuanyuan War God was clearly pleased by the flattery. He smiled and said, ”You must be Gu Feiyun. The Gu Family is a prominent one in Dongshan. What brings you to me today?”

Gu Feiyun said respectfully, ”Xuanyuan War God, the Wang Family of the Provincial City was annihilated overnight! The culprit is Cheng Yuan from Luocheng! I implore you to seek justice for the Wang Family!”

The Xuanyuan War God replied indifferently, ”This is a vendetta of the Jianghu. You should take it to the Martial Dao Alliance. I am powerless to help.”

Gu Feiyun forced a bitter smile. ”One of the greatest beneficiaries of the Wang Family’s destruction is the Hu Family! Xuanyuan War God, Wang Yuanchen was your senior martial brother! You can’t simply ignore this! Otherwise, people will say the Xuanyuan War God disregards the bonds of his sect.”

The Xuanyuan War God raised an eyebrow. ”Wang Yuanchen? He was merely an Outer Disciple. Is he even worthy of my attention? If every Outer Disciple came to me demanding justice, wouldn’t I be worked to death?”

The Xuanyuan War God dismissed Gu Feiyun with an impatient wave of his hand.

Gu Feiyun was about to die of frustration. ’So, after all that boasting, Wang Yuanchen was nothing more than an Outer Disciple of the Kunlun Sect?’

’If the Xuanyuan War God won’t make a move, who could possibly handle Cheng Yuan?’

’Am I supposed to just let Cheng Yuan get away scot-free?’

’No!’

’Absolutely not!’

But as unwilling as he was to accept it, there was nothing he could do.

As he walked on, Gu Feiyun overheard two maids whispering up ahead.

”Did you hear? The young master from the Yingtian He Family is in the Provincial City. It’s caused a huge stir in Dongshan—several Commanders have already gone to pay their respects.”

”The Yingtian He Family doesn’t have any bigwigs in the Battle Department, do they? Why are those Commanders so busy bootlicking?”

”You really don’t know? That young master of the He Family is our War God’s illegitimate son!”

Hearing this, Gu Feiyun’s eyes lit up. ’So, Xuanyuan War God, you don’t care about the life or death of a mere Outer Sect brother? What if it were your illegitimate son who died? Would you still not care then?’

The aide-de-camp could listen no longer. ”How dare you gossip about the War God behind his back?” he barked. ”Do you have a death wish?”

The two maids’ faces paled, and they trembled from head to toe. ”We were wrong, this servant knows her crime! We’ll never dare to do it again! Please, Deputy Zhou, be merciful!”

Deputy Zhou glared at them. ”Now get back to work!”

”Yes!”

After leaving the War God Mansion, Gu Feiyun took out his phone and called Gu Miao. Among the third generation of the Gu Family, Gu Miao and Gu Chen were the closest.

You could say they were two peas in a pod.

Ordinarily, Gu Feiyun couldn’t be bothered with Gu Miao. He always hoped Gu Chen would keep his distance, not wanting his own son to be corrupted by his cousin’s bad influence.

But now, Gu Feiyun could only pin his hopes on Gu Miao.

After a long moment, the call connected, and a voice came through over a noisy background. ”Uncle, it’s Xiaomiao.”

”Xiaomiao, do you want to avenge your brother?”

Gu Miao’s voice instantly turned serious. ”I thought of Brother Chen as my own blood. Uncle, just tell me what to do! I’d walk through fire for him without a second thought!”

”It won’t be that difficult. A young master recently arrived from Yingtian, with the surname He. Do you know him?”

”Hahaha, Uncle, you’ve asked the right person! A few of the guys and I are showing He Tianci a good time as we speak!”

”Find an opportunity to tell He Tianci about the Pearl of Luocheng. Hype her up as much as you possibly can.”

”Understood.”

...

He Tianci thoroughly enjoyed the Dongshan playboys’ warm hospitality and was very pleased with their arrangements.

When He Tianci emerged from the private room, his legs were a bit weak, but his face was plastered with a deeply satisfied grin. He clapped the other playboys firmly on the shoulder.

”I’ve really experienced the passion of the Dongshan girls now—absolutely top-shelf! When you guys come to Yingtian, I’ll show you how passionate the girls are there.”

The crowd of playboys roared with laughter.

Only Gu Miao curled his lip. ”Young Master He, you arrived on such short notice. The girls we arranged for you today were just so-so, nothing special! If you stay a few more days, I can arrange for you to meet some real top-quality women!”

He Tianci’s interest was piqued. ”Oh? There are women even more exceptional than them?”

Gu Miao gave a mysterious smile and whispered in He Tianci’s ear, ”Young Master He, have you ever heard of the Pearl of Luocheng?”

”The Pearl of Luocheng? Can’t say I have.”

”Look her up.”

He Tianci quickly searched for the Pearl of Luocheng, and his eyes immediately went wide, completely fixated.

Suddenly, the women he had just been with lost all their appeal.

He even felt as if he had been wasting his entire life up to this point.

’How could such a perfect woman exist in this world?’

”Gu Miao, arrange it immediately! I want to meet this Pearl of Luocheng!”

”Young Master He, isn’t it your birthday tonight? You could host a birthday banquet at the Luocheng Grand Hotel. Invite all of Luocheng’s high society, and you’ll have a perfectly natural reason to invite the Pearl of Luocheng. Once she’s at your party... won’t she be yours for the taking?”

”Gu Miao, if I can have the Pearl of Luocheng, you’ll get all the credit! Name your price! As long as it’s within Dongshan, there’s nothing I, He Tianci, can’t accomplish!”
