363: Chapter 54 The Witch’s Request 363: Chapter 54 The Witch’s Request “If it’s just a fight between the juniors, I wouldn’t intervene,”
“With so many challengers in Changye, do I really need to help Gu Shen solve each one?”
Gao Tian smoothed his sleeves.
In fact, the recent duel had not left him entirely unaffected.
Bai Chen’s “Judge” was indeed troubleso, like an incredibly sharp knife.
Even though his concentration was disrupted each ti, the sharp aura still pierced through his domain.
Having his domain pierced had “serious” consequences.
The Wind Snow drifted down from the sky.
It landed on his shirt.
After the fight, that originally Immaculate shirt was stained with quite a bit of snow.
“I acted against Han Dang because he broke the rules.
Since we are in Changye, we must abide by Changye’s rules,” Gao Tian said, frowning as he patted and cleaned the snow off his shirt.
“When I was younger, I encountered unfair bullying.
Even though I fought back later…
now I don’t want to see the sa things happen.”
Han Dang was at Deep Sea Eleventh Layer, on the verge of stepping into the Titled Realm at any mont.
Whereas Gu Shen had just started his cultivation half a year ago and, at best, had reached the second stage of spiritual power cultivation.
This kind of bullying the weak by the strong was not allowed according to the rules laid out by the three institutions.
Struggles among peers, or within the sa realm…
No matter how fierce the fight, no one would say anything.
This was talking with one’s own strength.
But this was different…
throughout the Five Continents, no one could confront the “True Words” of the eleventh layer while at the Deep Sea Fourth Level.
…
…
Han Dang’s thoughts were in disarray.
In just a few minutes…
too much had happened.
He looked at Bai Lu with a complex expression, never expecting that in less than a day, this woman would go from striking a deal to reneging on it.
More importantly, she revealed this deal, supposed to be kept secret, in front of Gu Shen.
So that it was impossible for him to pretend nothing had happened.
“Chu Jue has already explained…
It doesn’t matter to speak of these things, does it?” Bai Lu couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his expression, “Senior Brother Han doesn’t still want to be close friends with Gu Shen, does he?”
It seed like a cold joke.
In reality, it was very scathing sarcasm.
In the Judgent Institute, Han Dang was nicknad the “Smiling Tiger.”
Because of his strong powers at Deep Sea Eleventh Layer and the bizarre abilities of his “True Words,” many were willing to give him face.
However, those who actually considered him a friend were next to none, or perhaps…
not even one.
“So things are better not said outright,” Han Dang said, his voice heavy as he spoke slowly, “This is a private matter between and Junior Brother Gu within the Judgent Institute.”
“Hmm…
you make a point,” Bai Lu pondered and asked with a smile, “If it weren’t for my brother, that Titled individual from the Li Family would probably have rushed here by now.
I just wonder if you would say the sa to him as well?”
Han Dang’s expression faltered.
He imdiately understood the implication in Bai Lu’s words…
She dared to co here brazenly because Bai Chen was nearby.
“Miss Bai, I…
cannot afford to offend you,”
Han Dang swallowed his pride, his voice deep, “Those trivial gifts earlier, consider them a present.
Let’s leave our dealings at that.”
Indeed, it was a clean and decisive break.
Bai Lu smiled and said nothing more.
Han Dang turned his head, his expression grim as he looked at Gu Shen and spoke coldly, “Now that things have been laid out, there’s nothing bad to admit.
The incidents this morning were indeed my doing.
As for why, you surely understand…”
“No, no, no,”
Gu Shen didn’t give Han Dang any face either, speaking indifferently, “I am not clear on why Senior Brother Han would want to make things difficult for …
Since we are speaking openly, we might as well do it thoroughly while it’s still early, in front of Miss Bai.
After a while, once Uncle Gao arrives, I’m afraid Senior Brother Han won’t be able to speak anymore.”
Veins bulged on Han Dang’s forehead.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “You know better than anyone what the ‘Divine Eyes’ have done!
As long as this matter isn’t resolved, our conflict isn’t over!”
Just seconds before, he had sensed the aura of those two Titled ones…
Not too far away, faintly stirring.
This seems to have escalated into a fight?
Who knows what will happen next!
Having said that, Han Dang didn’t drag his feet; he grabbed his briefcase, turned around, and walked away.
Choosing to co tonight was a mistake!
He didn’t want to stay here any longer!
Not even for a second!
…
…
“So, what did ‘Heaven’s Eye’ do to him?”
After Han Dang left, only two people remained beneath Snow Forbidden City.
Bai Lu crossed her arms and spoke with interest.
It wasn’t hard to guess.
‘Heaven’s Eye’ was the youngest Titled mber of the Judgent Institute with supre mastery in spiritual power, and was especially adept at “Hypnosis Technique,” which was the simplest and most fundantal spiritual technique.
But, if wielded by a Titled Transcendent personally…
Just a tiny Hypnosis Seed would be enough to cause excruciating pain.
In fact, if Han Dang had been willing to follow ‘Heaven’s Eye”s hypnotic guidance…
Then nothing would have happened.
But if he resisted, the more he resisted…
the more pain he would feel!
“Don’t ask , I have no idea,” Gu Shen certainly denied, then suddenly asked, “Senior Brother Han is really strange, isn’t he?
Running off in such a hurry, it’s as if his butt’s on fire.
What do you think?”
“Perhaps he’s afraid of the backing you have,” she paused before adding, “Oh, don’t misunderstand…
I’m not referring to Mr.
Shu or ‘Heaven’s Eye’, but that person from the Li Family.”
Although Bai Lu arrived sowhat late, she had seen everything clearly when ‘Truth’s’ shattered image was revealed.
Just a few hours ago, Gu Shen had rejected her invitation, then rejected the invitations from the Gong and Mu Families.
But after just dining with Li Qingsui…
even Titled mbers started to take action for Gu Shen?
What on earth did they eat at that al?
…
This kind of probing, Gu Shen couldn’t be bothered to entertain.
He shook his head and said, “If Miss Bai has nothing else…
then I must take my leave.”
It was the sa phrase used on Ninghe Bridge before.
Bai Lu said angrily, “Wait a mont!”
Of course, Gu Shen did not wait.
He turned his head and left.
But in the next instant, the scene before him changed dramatically as “Thorny Dreams” unfolded, enveloping Gu Shen within it, and Snow Forbidden City grew huge black buds.
Gu Shen’s expression was sowhat complex.
He sighed and slowed his steps, turning back to look at Bai Lu.
This ti…
Thorny Dreams did not attack, but simply maintained its spiritually unfolded state.
Bai Lu frowned.
She felt an illusion had occurred; the man who was tornted by her in Thorny Dreams…
despite having not seen him for only a few hours, the fla throbbing on his forehead was already significantly stronger than before!
Had Gu Shen hidden his true strength before?
Regardless…
Bai Lu took a deep breath and said, “I have already annulled the deal with Han Dang right in front of you.”
She earnestly said, “I want to take another look at…
that girl.”
…

(More to co in the afternoon)
