Chapter 632: Chapter 479: Not Afraid of Trouble
Gu Changsheng was taken aback by the words, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, “Why?”
“Yeah! Why? You’ve been cursed with a gu, and only Gu Changsheng can save you. If you don’t let her, isn’t that seeking death?” Borjigin Nian echoed in response.
Beside them, Yue Xilou’s stunning eyes narrowed slightly, appraising Liu Fengyun!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Fengyun slowly shook his head, cupped his hands in a salute, and said slowly, “Although there is a saying, ‘Those who are not our kind shall have a different mind,’ Lady Changsheng was born in the Central Plains and grew up there; she definitely bears no ill will!”
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow almost imperceptibly at these words!
Damn, that’s so discerning insight!
She is a Han person through and through! Her soul is authentically of the Han people!
Yet, this body happens to carry the bloodline of the Southern Border!
Oh my god, I’ve inadvertently beco ‘one who is not of our kind’, what frustration!
Liu Fengyun continued without pause, “Besides, Lady Changsheng has benefited the people with her own strength, saving lives and doing good like no other. Even those from the Itinerant World have received the grace of Lady Changsheng’s redies. The healing dicines she created are hard-to-find panaceas!”
“I am but one life! While Lady Changsheng can save countless others! My death is insignificant, but I cannot knowingly allow the devious people of the Southern Border to drag Lady Changsheng down with !”
Having said this, Liu Fengyun adjusted the bookcase on his back, perford another salute, and declared with a solemn voice under the sidelong glances of the others, “Therefore, Lady Changsheng, please take care. I shall take my leave!”
His reaction indeed made Gu Changsheng look at him with new eyes!
Even Yue Xilou and Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but show admiration in their eyes!
Hearing his previous words, they might have thought that Liu Fengyun was rely being polite, but now seeing him walking out without waiting for anyone’s reaction, they were all stunned!
“Hehe…” Gu Changsheng chuckled and spoke up, “Hold on a mont, young sir!”
Truth be told, Gu Changsheng was incredibly relieved in her heart!
She felt a sense of recognition and veneration!
So say she is arrogant, others call her a wastrel, yet others say she is unbridled!
And many more are grateful to her!
She doesn’t care for how others kneel and thank her, nor does she care for the many gifts of gratitude received!
But this feeling, of soone knowing they could lose their life yet not want to drag her down, truly brings a touch of warmth from the bottom of one’s heart!
“Lady Changsheng?” Liu Fengyun turned around, puzzled. Wasn’t his statent clear enough?
Although he is but a scholar, he is a part of the Itinerant World!
Those in the Itinerant World, who value friendship and righteousness—he, Liu Fengyun, may have no martial arts skills, but he succeeded his father as the master of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa and handled the affairs of the Itinerant World because he holds onto this righteousness!
Gu Changsheng watched Liu Fengyun and slowly curled the corner of her mouth into a faint smile, saying softly, “Liu Fengyun, I, Gu Changsheng, do not like to be in debt to others, so I must repay this life I owe you!”
“But…”
Liu Fengyun was about to speak but was cut off by Gu Changsheng raising her hand.
“Whether it’s for you or to prevent more people from being implicated because of , I must help you get rid of the gu!” Wearing blood-red robes, Gu Changsheng spoke with an air of calm, “Since they intend to test us, not provoking a thorough investigation will not satisfy them! If I don’t save you, there will be more powerful people who will be cursed with a gu. When they co begging at my residence, should I save them or not?”
As Gu Changsheng spoke, she slowly paced around the room, “I’ve made Liuzhou City impenetrable. They can’t find an opportunity, so now they resort to such low tactics. My keeping them at bay does not an I fear them!”
At this point, there was a sharp gleam in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, and her aura suddenly surged, giving off the air of soone who could look down upon the world.
“I, Gu Changsheng, have never been one to shy away from trouble. I don’t seek to restore a lost kingdom, nor do I provoke them. But if they still harbor delusions of uprooting , then they can’t bla for being ruthless!”
As Gu Changsheng’s voice fell, she flashed over to Liu Fengyun’s side in an instant!
Liu Fengyun was taken aback, only feeling his arm being pulled up. Seeing a flash of red, blood started to flow from his wound cursed with a gu!
“Lady Changsheng?” Liu Fengyun looked up, puzzled.
He did not believe that Lady Changsheng would harm him without reason, for there was no need!
Yet the fresh blood from the wound on his arm was real. Lady Changsheng had used a dagger to pierce the wound cursed with a gu!
“Gu Changsheng! What are you doing?”
Borjigin Nian responded to Liu Fengyun’s question with a cry of alarm!
Liu Fengyun turned his head and saw Lady Changsheng slashing her fingertip with the dagger at a lightning-fast speed!
“Young lady!” Yue Xilou also took a nervous step forward, frowning with a low call.
With an inscrutable expression, Gu Changsheng in the confused gazes of the others, brought her bleeding fingertip close to Liu Fengyun’s wound!
This thod had been tested on Huo Shuixian; it worked every ti!
Getting rid of a gu was indeed this effortless!
“Liu Fengyun, to prevent more people from falling victim to the people from the Southern Border, I will have soone escort you out of the Liuzhou Region. Let your fellow comrades spread the word that I, Gu Changsheng, am the person they seek. Past grudges don’t concern ; I don’t wish to settle old scores. But if the people from the Southern Border persist in their malicious intentions…” Gu Changsheng watched the changes on Liu Fengyun’s arm while speaking solemnly, “then let them co at , I’m always ready to receive them! If others don’t offend , I won’t offend them. But if they do, I shall annihilate them!”
As Gu Changsheng finished speaking, a milky white little insect erged from Liu Fengyun’s arm, and in the blink of an eye, it bit onto Gu Changsheng’s finger!
“Ah! Gu Changsheng!”
“Miss!”
“Mother!”
Upon witnessing this, everyone was instantly shocked and turned pale!
That was a Gu, a living Gu, mysterious and strange!
If Gu Changsheng had been cursed with a gu, then they would be completely helpless!
Yet, what shocked them even more was that, in the blink of an eye, the wriggling milky-white insect rapidly withered away, turning a deep brown color and becoming stiff, as if it had died!
This… this was simply inconceivable!
Gu Changsheng, looking at the dead Gu insect that was still biting her fingertip, flicked her finger in disgust, and the stiffened Gu insect imdiately fell off…
At this mont, Liu Fengyun was utterly stunned!
anwhile, Gu Changsheng hid her hand in the sleeve, covering the rapidly healing cut on her fingertip!
“Soone, see the guest out!”
After the matter was settled, Gu Changsheng spoke without a second word, shouting toward the door.
In such a state of shock, Liu Fengyun was almost ushered out before he could recover his wits!
As soon as he left, Borjigin Nian imdiately pounced onto the floor, grabbed the dead Gu insect, and looked at it back and forth, “Gu Changsheng, is this how you cure a gu? This is a Gu from the Southern Border, and you solved it just like that?”
This was truly too incredible! This was the Gu insect that everyone feared!
And it died just like that!
“Or what? Did you want it to be harder?” Gu Changsheng asked with a rascal look on her face.
“You’re not hurt, are you?” Yue Xilou went up to Gu Changsheng and asked in a low voice.
“What could possibly be wrong with ? It’s just a few drops of blood!” Gu Changsheng said, curled her lips into a smile, picked up the little at bun, and walked towards the backyard.
“Hey, hey! Gu Changsheng, don’t go! Your blood is that powerful? The Phoenix Clan really deserves to be the Imperial Family of the Southern Border; even your blood is so formidable!” Borjigin Nian followed and exclaid in amazent.
“What? Are you trying to compete with my mother?” Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Truth be told, she also found it strange. Her blood could cure hundreds of Gu, probably because she retained the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan in her body, or maybe it was because of the Dandan Bug. She couldn’t quite understand it herself!
“Miss, what are you planning to do next?” Yue Xilou also followed and asked in a grave voice.
“Yeah, Gu Changsheng, it isn’t thieves that are scary, but the fear that they keep coveting. What if the current rulers of the Southern Border still won’t let you go? What will you do then?” Borjigin Nian’s voice was filled with concern, “Even if Liuzhou City is tightly secured by you, people always have a mont of drowsiness, what if they find an opportunity then?”
“Let them stew!” Gu Changsheng replied coldly, “I already said I’m not soone who’s afraid of trouble!”
Damn it, let the people of the Southern Border recognize what’s good for them and coexist peacefully with her!
Don’t provoke each other!
Having said that, Gu Changsheng turned back and walked away!
“Oh no, Dandan’s Mom, such a tasty morsel and you’ve just killed it like that!” Dandan Bug whined with a longing look.
“You can’t co out anyway, you wouldn’t be able to eat it even if you wanted to!” Gu Changsheng replied in her mind.
“Glutton!” The little at bun muttered softly, lying in her mother’s arms.
The words took Gu Changsheng by surprise, and she looked incredulously at the little at bundle in her arms, “You, you can hear it speak?”
Oh my god, who’s going to tell her this isn’t real!
This is way too unscientific, isn’t it!
“Mother, where exactly is it? It’s so naughty!” The little at bun looked around, making sure no one was there, before leaning into her mother’s ear and whispering quietly.
“Who’s naughty? Who are you calling naughty? You little bun!” Dandan Bug imdiately shouted, putting its paws on its hips.
“You’re naughty! You’re naughty! You called stupid!”
“You are stupid! Not only are you stupid, but you’re also fat! As fat as a at bun! All round and chubby!”
“You’re the stupid one! You’re the stupid one, Mother, it’s bullying ! Wuu wuu…”
The little at bun, never having argued with anyone before, was losing the argunt and looked to her mother with an aggrieved face.
“Crybaby! Hmph…”
Gu Changsheng rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache as she looked at the little at bun in her arms, “Why are you arguing with a bug? Don’t cry, or it will laugh at you again!”
Upon hearing this, the little at bun sniffled a couple of tis, then started bickering with the little insect again!
Gu Changsheng was honestly speechless!
Liu Fengyun had been sent away, but his servant had brought back a Fengyun Order. Holding the token, Gu Changsheng smiled noncommittally and put it away.
With the Itinerant World’s people gone, Liuzhou City once again burst into its usual liveliness, yet Borjigin Nian grew unusually sorrowful…
