Chapter 1203 has some juicy gossip! Get on the bench!
"These two really make you want to give up sugar from the very first time you meet them."
With Xiao Xiao's help, Gu Xiyu learned how to wear the Soul Guidance Armor.
Mo Cheng glanced at Ye Nanxiao, then quickly put on the armor himself. Although it was his first time wearing the Soul Guidance Armor, he seemed to be naturally skilled in mecha and the like, and he put it on by himself.
"Once Sanshi Caitou returns, we'll gather our forces. Tonight, under the cover of darkness, we're determined to strip them bare!"
"Knock out the men and throw them in the outhouse, lock the women in the woodshed!" Ye Nanxiao raised his hand, shouted the slogan, and then subtly took the small hand that was holding his waist into his own.
"Also, Xiao Xiao, could you please send a message to Jian Chi and Auntie, telling them to come back on a mission and stop spending time alone together!"
Xiao Xiao chuckled, then took the communication soul tool, installed it on the large communication base, and began contacting the two sword fanatics.
Ever since Ye Nanxiao sent the two sword fanatics out for training, their lives couldn't be more comfortable.
However, I heard that Ji Juechen is almost at the threshold of becoming a Title Douluo, so it's time for him to come back and wait for orders.
Within Lingdou City, peace and tranquility prevailed, with bustling traffic and people dressed in magnificent robes moving about in the prosperous areas. Across Fifth Avenue lay the commoners' district.
Beneath a red brick bungalow lies a secret chamber built by hollowing out the ground.
The numerous candles drove the darkness of the secret room into the corners.
Several masked figures stood surrounded by candlelight.
On a dark table, there was a list.
"Gentlemen, since Xu Sanshi started causing trouble, more than thirty of his pawns have already been eliminated. I'm sure you all, and the powerful figures behind you, have felt the pinch, haven't you?"
"The topic of this meeting is also about Xu Sanshi."
"Before that, I have some bad news: the Wu Tong clique and their associates have chosen to betray us!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the other figures swayed slightly, and a few cold snorts echoed in the cold, damp air.
"In that case, all their achievements should be erased! Resources should be redistributed, and assassins should be sent to hunt them down to the ends of the earth!"
"May the entire clan be torn to pieces! Their heads cut off and used as banners! A warning to deter and punish evildoers!"
The people around them all moved away from the guy who had suggested cutting him into a thousand pieces.
Do we need to make solemn vows to hide our true feelings for each other?
Everyone wants all the resources in this industry to fall into their laps.
Now that a traitor has appeared, it is only natural that we must do everything in our power to hunt him down and eliminate him!
"I wonder why Wu Tong and his ilk chose to betray us? Following that little emperor, how could they possibly get as many resources as they do by following us?"
The figure who spoke first was silent for a moment before saying, "According to the information relayed back by my assassins, Wu Tong and his men met with Xu Sanshi before betraying you, sir!"
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
A commotion erupted among the crowd.
Immediately following was a barrage of insults.
"Damn it! If they had sided with the young emperor, we would have thought he had offered a high price! Instead, they've sided with Xu Sanshi! What benefits has Xu Sanshi given them?!"
"Could it be that the Xuanming Sect has made a move?"
"What a load of rubbish about the Xuanming Sect! Every one of you here is larger than the Xuanming Sect!"
These people are all from noble families and sects. After so many years of blood-sucking, plundering, and being raised in layers of Gu-like creatures, they have become fat and strong.
They are extremely arrogant at this moment.
It is generally believed that the Xuanming Sect has been closed off from the world for many years, neither recruiting new disciples nor purchasing cultivation resources from outsiders. This shows that the Xuanming Sect was already frightened by them more than 20 years ago.
The sect is mostly just a bunch of old fogies.
The younger generation? The youth? The pillars of the sect?
Without cultivation resources and cultivation pills, how can we cultivate?
Therefore, at this moment, everyone felt that the only scary thing about the Xuanming Sect was those few old guys. As long as they dragged it out, they could wear down the Xuanming Sect!
"Gentlemen, let us raise our glasses in a toast, for we are of one heart and one mind! Let us fight together for our glory and wealth!"
"Fight! Fight that little emperor!"
"It's been a long time since I've tasted blood! Now that the Xuanming Sect has come to consecrate their sword, it's just the right time!"
Above the secret room, the crowd was still bustling.
"Candied hawthorn berries! Candied hawthorn berries for sale!"
At a fairly large candied hawthorn stall, an old man with white hair and beard was hawking candied hawthorns.
His business wasn't doing very well, but the stall owner was confident and had prepared a lot of ingredients.
However, candied hawthorns can be stored for a long time, so use more ingredients and make more.
The old man called out to sell candied hawthorns while subtly wiggling his left foot under the stall.
Meanwhile, the sugar-making machine at the candied hawthorn stall was rotating and vibrating rhythmically, as if conveying something.
The old man's peripheral vision kept falling on the sugar-making machine.
After selling five or six candied hawthorns, the sugar-making machine stopped shaking, and the old man began to pack up and go home, pushing his cart into a dilapidated little house two blocks away.
"How is it?" the old man asked.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man emerged from the candied hawthorn stall, wearing something resembling a stethoscope on his head.
"Intelligence received! Tonight at sunset, the Lin family's second compound in the East District will gather and launch a surprise attack!"
These are two hunters.
"Report this to the organization, and this time we should be able to get an award!" The old man's eyes lit up.
The middle-aged man nodded, then quickly took out his soul guidance recording board and typed in the secret number on the communication soul guidance device.
Of the hunters who were keeping an eye on the four great families, only the Chen family remained completely still; the other three families all sent over intelligence reports.
After sorting through the intelligence, Ye Nanxiao also discovered that the Chen family was completely silent.
So he summoned Gu Xiyu and Mo Cheng to inquire about the Chen family's situation.
Unexpectedly, this question caused Gu Xiyu, who usually maintained a cool and aloof image, to grit her teeth, and even blushed slightly on her face.
The latest novel is first published here!
"That playboy! He probably thinks drinking with women is more important!"
Upon hearing this, a big question mark appeared on Ye Nanxiao's forehead.
Could it be that Young Master Chen is a man of strong emotions?
Gu Xiyu knew the Chen family's information like the back of her hand.
"The Chen family patriarch was named Chen Chuying, and the family was quite prosperous. The younger generation was a playboy named Chen Yuanyu, a lecherous man! He was infatuated with beautiful women! A lustful glutton! A philanderer!"
Ye Nanxiao sensed something was increasingly off. Gu Xiyu's current state suggested she might have some past connection with Chen Yuanyu!
So he turned to look at Mo Cheng, trying to get an answer.
"Chen Yuanyu is engaged to four other prominent families at the same time, and is also a regular at brothels. He is a decent person with some conscience and is of the proper generation, but he is ruined by lust!" Mo Cheng said while moving away from Gu Xiyu, afraid that he would be stabbed.
The engagement between the young master of the Chen family and the young lady of the Gu family is naturally the engagement between Chen Yuanyu and Gu Xiyu.
Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance, and both of them produced sunflower seeds.
Jiang Nannan also pulled the angry Gu Xiyu into her arms and held her in place, signaling Mo Cheng to continue, "I'll protect you."
"Chen Yuanyu's martial souls are the Moon Spirit Dragon and the Radiant Feather Sparrow. This made him a sought-after marriage partner of the other four great families at birth. Moreover, he is the only heir of the main branch of the Chen family, so the four great families have no reason to back down."
At this point, Mo Cheng shrugged. Although he was also unhappy, he had to admit that Chen Yuanyu was lucky to be born into such a family.
"The Radiant Feathered Sparrow, the martial soul of the most beautiful feathered beast, also known as the Little Phoenix of Light?" Jiang Nannan asked.
Mo Cheng nodded. "Add Moon Spirit Dragon to the mix, and this guy will be good-looking and grow up surrounded by women."
"Moon Spirit Dragon, a flawed martial soul, with powerful abilities to fight by utilizing moonlight, but unfortunately it amplifies the lewd nature of dragons. That might be a good point to take advantage of." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin.
Moon Spirit Dragon is a nicer name; in reality, this martial spirit's nickname is Stallion Dragon.
When a martial soul holder is at the peak of their primordial yang energy, they cannot control their desires, leading to lust. The Radiant Feathered Sparrow is one of the martial souls in the world that is closest to the ultimate light. It is a companion of the sun, and as long as there is light, there will be an endless source of power.
Ye Nanxiao estimated that these two martial souls turned the young master of the Chen family into a ruthless breeding machine.
However, the two top-tier martial souls made the aristocratic families suppress their arrogance.
"Four young ladies from powerful families, tsk tsk tsk, indeed enough benefits can make powerful families obey." Jiang Nannan shook her head and said.
"Fortunately, in order to save face, they all claim to be from the second wife's family, but in reality, the lowest bidder is the second young lady. Currently, the Su family has offered the highest price, for the Su family head's twin sisters from his second wife's family." Mo Cheng sighed, feeling a little envious.
"Is the engagement with the Gu family the eldest daughter's?" Ye Nanxiao looked at Gu Xiyu.
They were childhood sweethearts.
"Oh~" *2
Mo Cheng was also somewhat helpless.
Gu Xiyu gave a soft hum and buried her face in Jiang Nannan's arms.
"You could say they were childhood sweethearts, but they didn't have much contact. Yet, you can't quite say they weren't, and you still can't forget each other." Mo Cheng sighed. Chen Yuanyu was never a good match for him.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. "If you don't want to continue the engagement, there are ways. We won't watch you fall into a trap. The size of the organization is beyond your imagination."
It was just an aristocratic family of an empire, and Ye Nanxiao was not afraid of it at all.
Jiang Nannan stroked Gu Xiyu's hair and said, "It's okay. Just tell us if you don't want to fulfill the marriage contract, and we will give the Chen family some compensation."
Gu Xiyu lifted her head from Jiang Nannan's embrace, her expression shifting uncertainly. "If I don't step forward, the branch family will definitely send someone to continue representing the Gu family in fulfilling the marriage agreement! I have to go!"
She wanted the empire to know that although the Gu family had split, she was still the head of the Gu family!
Only by using the marriage agreement with the Chen family can this signal be announced.
Jiang Nannan gripped Gu Xiyu's slightly cool hand tightly. "We support you! Let the organization settle scores with the Chen family!"
"Actually, the biggest problem is that Chen Yuanyu... he accepts anyone who comes his way!" (End of Chapter)
