Chapter 613 – Drunk with White Jade Spring
Gu Ruyu sneered, “I think there is only Huarong Sword Immortal in this boy’s eyes. There’s no room for us.”
Yan Tianhen felt a little guilty. “This meal is on me, so you guys should talk less nonsense.”
This blocked Qi Feiqing’s mouth.
The food was soon delivered, and the three people ate and talked about the future.
Qi Feiqing asked, “Ah Hen, Ah Yu, what are your plans?”
Yan Tianhen countered, “What about you?”
Qi Feiqing touched his nose, took a sip of White Jade Spring, and said, “I don’t like cultivation very much. I just want to do business. I may take on some missions related to the business path, so I can travel to all parts of the Nine Lands.”
Gu Ruyu looked at him. “In the end, business is a proper path. You always have to improve your cultivation before talking about other things.”
Qi Feiqing smiled. “My brother gave me a total limit of seven years. I only have a few years to live freely. Why should I restrain myself? After seven years, if I still want to continue to trade, it will be impossible. My Dage may kill me if I do that.”
Gu Ruyu nodded and said, “At least you understand.”
Yan Tianhen asked, “How about Ah Yu?”
Gu Ruyu replied nonchalantly, “Naturally, I will accept missions to train and gain experience in many ways.”
Yan Tianhen said, “What kind of missions do you want to take?”
“I want to enter the evil spirit array.”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
Qi Feiqing almost jumped up and said, “Are you tired of living? Why do you want to go to that evil spirit array to die? The death rate in the evil spirit arrays is the highest. Countless people went in and never came out again. Why don’t you choose those missions that can travel abroad and give lots of contribution points and rewards? It won’t be too difficult.”
Gu Ruyu’s expression was mild as he sipped his wine. “There are many rare treasures in evil spirit arrays, many of which do not belong to our Nine Lands. In fact, I suspect that those high-level evil spirit arrays, such as Profound Ranked Tier A or up, are all teleportation arrays leading to another small world.”
Gu Ruyu asked, “But what if there are some people inside the arrays who are extremely powerful and can control the laws of space?”
Yan Tianhen wanted to refute, but he couldn’t say a rebuttal to this possibility.
Gu Ruyu said, “I heard that Earth Ranked Tier A evil spirit arrays are related to going back in time. After entering, we can go back to many years ago and see our past. I really want to go back and see.”
This rumor, in fact, had existed as early as many years ago. However, none of the disciples who entered the Earth Ranked Tier A array had been able to come out alive. Some evil spirit arrays do not allow the dead to stay inside, as was the case with this legendary evil spirit array.
After the disciples died, they would be sent out, and they all had sweet smiles on their faces, as if they had seen something happy before dying. But as for why the evil spirit array could go back to the past, it was impossible to prove. Perhaps it was speculation, or perhaps someone came out alive and told all this.
Yan Tianhen felt that Gu Ruyu’s idea was very dangerous. He frowned and said, “Your cultivation and contribution points are not enough to get you into this evil spirit array. I advise you to not entertain this idea and to live a good life.”
However, Gu Ruyu seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his cup and said to Yan Tianhen, “Ah Hen, if I can’t find the person who took my brother away in this life, I will never become a god or an immortal. This is my heart demon. If I don’t settle this matter, Gu Ruyu would have lived his life in vain.”
Qi Feiqing frowned. “Ah Ning has already been gone for a long time.”
“It’s only been over ten years.” Gu Ruyu seemed to be understating it, but in fact, he’d been thinking about his lost brother disappearing every day in his heart.
Yan Tianhen could understand this idea and nodded. “If my brother is lost, I would surely go heaven and earth to look for him, searching every living person and corpse. But Gu Ruyu, you should not act impulsively. Don’t forget, you are the eldest son of the Gu family, and you still have your parents and two younger brothers to take care of.”
Gu Ruyu nodded. “I don’t need you to tell me that. I will naturally cherish my life. Don’t worry, if I am not certain, I will not try it easily.”
Yan Tianhen was a little relieved.
Finally, when talking about Yan Tianhen’s plan, Yan Tianhen held his cheeks and thought about it. “I have already discussed with Huarong Gege. First, I will take a mission to the Northeast Land. I will go to Puluo Mountain on the way to look for the blood cypress tree and get rid of the blood rust on the sword first, then look for missions to travel everywhere in the Nine Lands. It might take eight to ten years to travel the entire Nine Lands.”
Qi Feiqing was suddenly envious. “You’re actually going with Huarong Sword Immortal. Isn’t Huarong Sword Immortal not allowed to casually leave the sect?”
Yan Tianhen replied, “It’s not that he can’t casually leave. It’s just that once something happens in the sect, he must arrive in time. Nothing has happened to the sect for so many years, so it’s not like something will happen as soon as we leave, right?”
Qi Feiqing touched his nose and said, “I still feel that it’s too unbelievable for you and Huarong Sword Immortal to be together.”
Yan Tianhen said, “Don’t you think that Huarong Gege and I are like a match made in heaven, no matter in appearance, character, status, or strength?”
Qi Feiqing shook his head fearlessly. “No.”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
This evening, Yan Tianhen poured Qi Feiqing wine like crazy.
However, although he was able to kill ten thousand of the enemy’s troops, he also lost eight thousand of his own troops. Yan Tianhen finally became drunk too. Although he looked normal from the outside, in reality, he had no idea what day it was anymore.
Gu Ruyu looked at Yan Tianhen’s sitting posture, clever and silent. Then he glanced at the drunk Qi Feiqing, who was holding a vase as a sword and insisting on waving around his “sword” in a dance, and he couldn’t help but have a headache. If he had known this, he would definitely have stopped Yan Tianhen from ordering wine like crazy.
Qi Feiqing, holding the vase, yelled towards the outside, “Qi Ruwang, you scoundrel, you thousand-year-old son of a bitch, you oppressive bastard! Tch! Let me catch you, trap you under my sword, tie you to the bed, strip off your clothes, drip wax oil on you, put on the tools of torture, and beat you till you scream and beg for mercy on your knees!”
Gu Ruyu asked, “Just how much do you resent your Dage?”
Qi Feiqing suddenly burst into tears, pounding the table and howling, “He is a big bastard! He threw me here and turned a deaf ear to me. He just thought I was a drag!”
Gu Ruyu squinted at Qi Feiqing’s unbridled performance and supported Qi Feiqing’s swaying body with a growing headache. He got up and said, “I shouldn’t have let you drink casually. You’re only giving me more trouble. Ah Hen is much better. Even if he is drunk, he still doesn’t quarrel and make noise.”
“Heh heh, heh heh, heh heh…” There was a burst of giggles immediately.
Gu Ruyu, “…”
Gu Ruyu was about to speak when he heard Yan Tianhen say, “Dage, why are you here? I…Hic, I miss you so much.”
Gu Ruyu suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he turned around, he found Lin Xuanzhi standing at the door and smiling at them with one hand lifting the curtains.
Gu Ruyu was stunned and immediately said, “Huarong Sword Immortal, Ah Hen drank a little too much. I’m sorry to trouble you to take him back.”
Lin Xuanzhi was very satisfied with Gu Ruyu’s intelligence. Lin Xuanzhi came in, held Yan Tianhen who was giggling at him, then turned to Gu Ruyu and said, “Please send Qi Feiqing to the next room.”
Gu Ruyu thought that Lin Xuanzhi wanted Qi Feiqing to go to the side for a short rest before going back, so he said, “No need, I can carry him back.”
Lin Xuanzhi’s smile was a little playful, which makes Gu Ruyu’s hair stand upright–
“I’m afraid he won’t be able to go back today.” An extremely cold voice came from the door.
Gu Ruyu looked up again. At first, he was stunned. Then he gloated in his heart and thought sympathetically, ah, Qi Er, don’t blame me, your Gege, for not helping you. Who let you have no filter on your mouth after you got drunk? And by extreme coincidence, you just happened to meet the person you cursed at so vehemently.
Qi Ruwang was a famous person in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. His reputation was so well-known that he could stop children from crying at night.
He was the Lord of Criminal Law Enforcement. He was nearly fifty years older than Qi Feiqing. Although he hadn’t been in charge of the law for long, he was more famous and severe than when his father was in office.
Gu Ruyu didn’t know why Qi Ruwang arrived here right now, but it was not important anymore.
What was important was that Qi Feiqing’s most feared person in the world was Qi Ruwang, who made him weak as a kitten in front of him every day.
Now, not only had Qi Ruwang seen Qi Feiqing drunk and disheveled, but he also heard with his own ears the filthy words that would make a dignified elder brother like him do something inappropriate–
Qi Feiqing sat up straight. Seeing Qi Ruwang in front of him, he was completely awakened from the wine.
“D-D-D-Dage!” Qi Feiqing’s eyes were blank, staring at Qi Ruwang, who was coming towards him step by step. He was so frightened that he couldn’t even move an inch.
Qi Ruwang swept cold eyes over Qi Feiqing, who looked pale and covered by a drunken red flush. He said without any warmth, “Don’t want to live anymore? What an embarrassment!”
In response, Qi Feiqing suddenly stood up. Gu Ruyu thought that he was still in a dream, and he would continue to curse Qi Ruwang. He was considering whether to stop it, when he heard a thud.
Qi Feiqing’s knees had bent, and he was kneeling on the ground.
Even though he was aware of Qi Feiqing’s nature, Gu Ruyu still couldn’t help but stare blankly at this scene. For Qi Feiqing, Qi Ruwang’s authority was very profound, which could be seen.
Qi Ruwang was ashamed of this display and said coldly, “You, stand up for me.”
Qi Feiqing grabbed the table and climbed up from the ground, trembling. He said with a numb tongue, “I’ve just, I’ve just got a weak leg.”
Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but laugh, and his whole person was about to hang off of Lin Xuanzhi’s body. He pointed to Qi Feiqing, saying, “Look at your cowardice. Didn’t you just say that you would take the spirit stones you earned from your successful business and smash his ice block of a face with them?”
