Stronger by Killing

At that time, Gu Chuan had a huge argument in the Gu Family and left in a huff. It wasn’t until today that the patriarch, Gai Qingcheng, personally went to invite him back.

At this moment,

the atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive, not a single person spoke.

Gu Chuan furiously said, "If one day the Gu Family is ruined, it will be because of you self-righteous people!"

At this moment, Gu Qiao, sitting in the middle, suddenly said in a low voice, "You can’t say that. Before the battle of Yu City, who could have known that Gu Zhan could single-handedly overturn the entire Martial World of Yunxi? At that time, what he showed was arrogance and cunning. Establishing relations with him would only bring trouble to the Gu Family..."

"Gu Qiao!"

Gu Chuan suddenly turned around, glared at Gu Qiao with a dark expression, and shouted angrily, "How do you have the face to say that? If I were you, I would find a place to bury myself to avoid embarrassment!"

Being pointed at and scolded directly by Gu Chuan, Gu Qiao’s expression couldn’t hold anymore, and angrily said, "Gu Chuan, don’t go too far in what you say..."

"Too far," Gu Chuan laughed out of anger, "The biggest responsibility for this matter should fall on you, Gu Qiao. Not to mention scolding you a few times, even if I beat you to death today, it’s what you deserve!

The Gu Family sent you to Yunxi, what did you do? You determined Gu Zhan was unqualified to cooperate with the Gu Family before even seeing him. Where did your superiority come from?"

Gu Qiao retorted, "But at that time, Gu Zhan showed..."

"Showed what," Gu Chuan angrily said, "Was he imperious or making excuses after losing? There was nothing, just you, Gu Qiao, stayed in the city for a few days and made the decision yourself. If you’d put away your superiority back then, wouldn’t you have known he was already bestowed the title of Marquis Yun and appointed as Grand General of Yunzhou?

Even if you claim you didn’t know his martial arts cultivation could be that strong, with the titles of Marquis Yun and Grand General of Yunzhou, shouldn’t the Gu Family take him seriously? Just with these two titles, plus his position as Gang Leader of Beidou Bang and his subordinates Sword One, Nangong Weiyang, and Rong Yichu, isn’t this combination enough to rule a region? Besides, he has long cooperated with the Astronomical Bureau, and we all know that, he can completely defend a territory.

When did the Gu Family become so conceited that a Governor is beneath notice? Based on you, Gu Qiao? Or your superiority? Or as a Grandmaster, you despise a twenty-year-old Supreme Grandmaster’s arrogance?"

Gu Qiao hesitated, "But I... but I didn’t know he was bestowed Marquis Yun... according to his behavior at the time, he was indeed arrogant and self-centered, knowing full well our people from the Gu Family were there..."

"Behavior?" Gu Chuan sneered, saying, "It’s really amusing, you, an unknown person, went to Beidou Bang territory, expecting a twenty-year-old who became one of Yunzhou’s top ten Grandmasters and Gang Leader of a gang with tens of thousands of people to display himself before you, this is the biggest joke I’ve heard in my thirty years!

Even Sword One, known as Yunzhou’s top expert at that time, was under him, Jixia Academy’s Seventeenth Master Rong Yichu willingly bowed to him, and someone who suppressed the entire Yunxi Demon Path Martial World with just a knife, you expect him to perform for you? And you waited loftily for him to come and please you, Gu Qiao, your face is definitely big!"

After saying that, Gu Chuan chuckled and said, "Moreover, even if you feel he’s unworthy of receiving the Gu Family’s investment, isn’t he my sworn brother? As my clan member, my cousin, should you not go to see him? Putting aside family interests, purely from personal feelings, my sworn brother, is he not worthy of a visit from you? He’s my brother who fought life and death with me!"

Gu Qiao opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

At this moment,

sitting at the head, the patriarch Gai Qingcheng, who hadn’t spoken, slowly spoke, "Brother, haven’t you vented enough anger by now? Let’s discuss the important matters, Gu Qiao didn’t handle things well, and the clan will punish her."

Gu Chuan slightly shook his head and said, "Second sister, there’s nothing left to discuss. I came back today just to vent because what you have done really angered me. I’ve been holding this anger for a while, and I know my brother Gu Zhan will help me vent it,

but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, it’s truly satisfying. Just a while ago, when I told you not to jump to conclusions, how did each of you respond, and now, look at yourselves, slapped in the face, aren’t you?

Well, I’m satisfied now, the rest is none of my business, I’m leaving, enjoy yourselves, you really are something, everyone knows Rong Yichu’s reputation as a king’s counselor, even he willingly bowed to him, and you actually scorn him, impressive, really impressive, you’ve all outsmarted Rong Yichu!"

After saying that,

Gu Chuan directly flung his sleeve and turned to leave.

At this moment, an elder of the Gu Family hurriedly shouted, "Gu Chuan, don’t be impulsive, Gu Zhan now might have mastered a new cultivation method, this is..."

"Enough,"

Gu Chuan said, his back to everyone, "Even now, you still look down on him, only paying attention because he might have a new cultivation method, but I’m different, he is a brother who once entrusted his life to me, you want to use this friendship to manipulate him, but I, Gu Chuan, would rather die than be such a villain!"

After saying this, Gu Chuan strode away briskly.
