Feeling the soul-stirring chill coming from the flying knife, the man's heart was in his throat. After hearing Gong Jin's words, his body trembled suddenly, and cold sweat instantly soaked his vest.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding. Young Master, please don't remember the villain's fault and spare our lives!"
The man begged for mercy repeatedly, his voice trembling as he spoke, fearing that if Gong Jin was not careful, his head would be lost.
Others around him also knelt down, their bodies trembling and not daring to make a sound.
Gong Jin didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he looked at the man kneeling on the ground and asked again: "Why on earth are you here? Can you explain to me?"
He believed that there were many people who had been expelled from the various immortal sects over the years, but now there were more than ten people here together. It was obvious that the matter was not simple.
The man replied: "Back to the Young Master, we...we were originally from the Hades Guards. We had received instructions from the master to come to Mingyue City to meet him, but we received the news of the master's death not long ago. We had no place for a while. If you want to go, you have to come here first. I didn’t expect to meet the young sect leader, what a coincidence!”
Gong Jin frowned slightly when he heard this and asked: "Underworld Guard? What is your master's name?"
Regarding the underworld guards, Gong Jin heard from the elders in the sect before leaving the Falling Star Sect that they were a force formed by those cultivating immortals in the world. However, they disappeared for some unknown reason eighteen years ago. Unexpectedly, they have reappeared now. Jianghu.
The man hurriedly said: "Our leader is called Gan Jingcheng. I...I am Meng Ruojin, the temporary leader of our team. These are the team members."
Gong Jin looked at the slightly slanted shadow of the man on the ground and thought for a moment. He secretly thought that since the leader of these people was dead, he might as well take this opportunity to make some profit. Moreover, he didn't want to go back to the Immortal Sect yet, at least in Jianghu. You have to have someone to rely on first.
So he put away the throwing knife and said, "Get up first. Let me ask you, what are your plans next?"
"Uh, this..."
Meng Ruojin's tone was slightly hesitant, and then he said reluctantly: "The news of the death of the great master has spread throughout the Hades. In recent days, many small teams have gathered here to hold the general election meeting for the great master... We’re the first team to get here!”
"oh?"
Gong Jin's eyes flashed with hope, and he thought it would be easy, so he said: "No need to go to so much trouble, you can inform other teams now that the new leader has been selected!"
Meng Ruojin's eyes flashed with panic, and he said hurriedly: "Young sect leader, you really can't be too hasty about this matter. I can't decide it alone. The selection of the new leader must be approved by all the captains. I hope you can be considerate, young sect leader." !”
Having said that, Gong Jin was helpless and said rather impatiently: "Okay, when will the conference be held? I'm in a hurry!"
Although Gong Jin did not express his true feelings, Meng Ruojin had already vaguely guessed that because there were many people from the Meteor Star Sect in the Hades Guard, they would probably hate Gong Jin. However, given his strength, it was not a problem. It’s hard to say no.
Meng Ruojin replied: "Brothers from the Underworld are all over China. I have notified them a few days ago and they are on their way. Judging from the speed, the conference will be held in five days. Young Master..."
Gong Jin suddenly interrupted him and said, "For now, let's call him Young Master!"
"Yes!" Everyone agreed.
Gong Jin lowered his head and glanced at Qu Ziting, then told Meng Ruojin: "Find me a room!"
Since they wanted to stay, they needed a place to live. Meng Ruojin and the others did not hesitate and quickly took Gong Jin into the village.
I found a private house, selected a superior room and invited him to live in it. I also found some women's clothes at Gong Jin's request.
After Qu Ziting put on her clothes, she lay on the bed. She didn't dare to get up from the bed without Gong Jin's request.
Gong Jin sat by the bed, holding the wine gourd in his hand, lowering his head and thinking about something. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Is there a place you want to go?"
After hearing this, Qu Ziting was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was saying. She thought for a long time before saying, "I...I want to go to Fengyue Valley. I heard that it is like Wonderland, but I have only seen it on TV!"
Gong Jin turned back to look at her, a little surprised that this mortal wanted to enter the immortal gate, and just wanted to have a look. Then she couldn't help but smiled bitterly, thinking that maybe not cultivating immortals was the right choice to live a safe life!
Thinking of this, he actually started to envy those mortals!
When he was wandering on the streets, he was a veritable beggar, dressed in rags. Hiding under the bridge, he would look up from time to time and see those advanced people flying up and down in the sky, and he was very envious.
Occasionally, he was seen by the sect master of the Meteor Star Sect. Fan Yuchen saw that his abilities were very good, so he took him under his sect and taught him carefully. In terms of qualifications, the gap between him and Liu Shuqin was not big, and there was even a slight tendency to surpass him. It was a pity that he was like this The apprentice did not like disputes, and was in a wild and carefree mood. Not only did he not have any amazing deeds in the world, but he had a reputation for being a flirt.
But Fan Yuchen did not blame his apprentice for this. Although he was a bit strict when teaching, he always had great expectations for his apprentice in his heart.
In fact, Gong Jin's cultivation over the years was forced to a certain extent by Fan Yuchen. He tried to escape from the solitary place to play many times, but was caught back one after another.
It wasn't until he entered the hall that Fan Yuchen withdrew the elders who had captured him and said: "Young sect master has grown up, and it's time to go out and practice."
At that time, all the elders knew that Master Fan Sect had found a successor, and they immediately respected Gong Jin.
Fan Yuchen has never had any control over what Gong Jin has done since he left for training. Over the years, Gong Jin has secretly sneaked into the Luanyun Sect and rolled snowballs. Under the leadership of Zhong Tianqi, he went boating with the Qingyang Sect in the south of the Yangtze River. Pretending to be a disciple of Qinglinyuan, he secretly drank Qinglinyuan’s wine.
But because he molested a female disciple of Wanshengtang, he was chased by Miao Bingyu for dozens of miles, and was finally captured back to Wanshengtang. Fortunately, the female disciple didn't care and secretly released Gong Jin.
Over the years, the only place Gong Jin has not been to is Fengyue Valley!
Because Fengyue Valley is located on a floating island in the sky, it is impossible for those who do not have the cultivation level to go in and out alone. He, who is famous for his romantic nature, has naturally heard that there are many female disciples in Fengyue Valley. Who would believe him if he said he didn't want to go?
He didn't expect that Qu Ziting also wanted to go. The two coincided with each other, but he didn't say anything more. He took another sip of wine and asked, "Can you drink?"
Qu Ziting saw his wry smile just now and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She shook her head slightly and said, "No."
Gong Jin ignored it, handed her the wine gourd, and gave her a sip.
Qu Ziting was choked by the alcohol and coughed repeatedly. Her face instantly turned red. She stretched out her hand to wipe her mouth. She felt a little uncomfortable smelling the alcohol, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
Seeing this look, Gong Jin couldn't help laughing, as if she was very happy to see Qu Ziting look like this.
It was different in Qu Ziting's eyes. Gong Jin looked a little crazy at this time, like a lunatic, but she didn't dare to curse, so she could only endure it silently, and her hands on the quilt became tighter and tighter.
Not sure if it was because she drank too much, Gong Jin suddenly felt that Qu Ziting in front of her
She looked familiar, like the woman he had liked for a long time but couldn't catch up with.
A little crazy, his face quickly became gentle. He reached out and gently stroked Qu Ziting's cheek. With the other hand, he put the wine gourd on the bedside table. Then he couldn't help but forcefully kissed Qu Ziting on the lips.
Qu Ziting didn't even have a chance to resist, so she was pushed to the bed by Gong Jin. She had encountered the same experience yesterday, but she didn't expect that Gong Jin would do it again, which made her a little panicked.
However, before she could think about more things...she had no time to think about more things.
From time to time, there were rapid breathing sounds on the bed, and the wooden bed creaked from time to time. It was not until Meng Ruojin called for lunch outside the door that the movement on the bed began to return to calm.
Gong Jin put on her clothes, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and put the wine gourd back on her waist.
At this time, Qu Ziting was lying on the bed sweating profusely, her eyes were lifeless and full of despair. She didn't know when such days would end, but at least it would probably be like this for a while, and her dignity would surely be gone in a few days. She was completely replaced by shame, which made it almost impossible for her to see the future.
Gong Jin glanced at Qu Ziting, as if she just realized that the person in front of her was not the woman in her heart, her face suddenly became very helpless, and said: "Get dressed quickly!"
Qu Ziting could only follow the instructions, because her feet were still injured, and because of the previous cloud and rain, she was weak, so it took a long time to put on her clothes.
Gong Jin opened the door, took the meal from Meng Ruojin, and started eating in the room.
Among them, Qu Ziting wanted to go on a hunger strike many times, but Gong Jin still forced her to take a few mouthfuls. Then she lost patience, hugged her and threw her back on the bed. She said angrily: "Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, do it again." ?”
When Qu Ziting heard this, she timidly got up from the bed. With trembling hands, she slowly took the bowl from Gong Jin's hand and ate it bite by bite. Tears fell from her eyes and dripped into the food, but she still endured the grievance and swallowed. Go down.
Gong Jin was already full and drank alone with a wine gourd. He sat aside and ignored Qu Ziting and began to think about the problem. However, the occasional sobs made him unable to concentrate, so he looked at Qu Ziting with a slightly cold gaze. .
Qu Ziting quickly stopped her voice, put down the bowl after finishing her meal, then covered her mouth with the quilt and cried bitterly.
Gong Jin frowned, glanced at the trembling quilt, said nothing, and began to think about the election of the leader by the Hades.
He previously learned from Meng Ruojin that the Hades Guards now have a huge team of no less than five hundred people. Originally, each team had a similar number of people, but some team members died in various battles due to various reasons. , the number of people was reduced to more than ten.
If you meet other people in battle, you may still be alive, but over the years, many teams have suffered the massacre of Miao Bingyu, and their number has been reduced. Some even have only the captain.
When Meng Ruojin recounted just now, Gong Jin had already heard a key piece of information. The previous second leader Liu Yanji was annihilated when he led the team to perform a mission. Even Liu Yanji, who was in the legal realm, also died in that mission, which caused this kind of situation. The person who turned out to be a boy named Ye Fengyu!
Because after that incident eighteen years ago, people with the Ye surname in the world were massacred to the point of being almost exterminated. Now the only person named Ye Fengyu in the world is the person who once called him a brother!
He looked at the blue sky outside the window and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that Ye Fengyu would hide such an appearance from him, which made him a little unhappy. He thought: "Ye Fengyu, you really like to surprise people! "
He couldn't help but think of the message he had sent back, knowing that Ye Fengyu would not let him down when we met again, and his heart was filled with hope and expectation.
