Chapter 167: I’ll Only Marry Brother
Gu Feiyun’s face burned with shame, but the pain in his heart was even worse.
His wife was right. He was useless. The Gu Family was useless!
If the Gu Family had a Grandmaster, how could Ah Chen have died so miserably?
But reality was what it was. Getting angry was pointless.
"Qiuyu, calm down. Revenge is a dish best served cold! I won’t forget that we must avenge Ah Chen!"
"To hell with ’a dish best served cold’! I can’t stand it for another second! You can be a coward and hide in your shell! I’ll get revenge myself!"
As she spoke, Yang Qiuyu turned and rushed out, ready to fight the Hu and Zhu Families to the death!
Gu Feiyun didn’t want his wife to go on a suicide mission. He suddenly struck, a single chop to the back of her neck, and Yang Qiuyu collapsed limply into his arms.
Holding his wife, Gu Feiyun whispered in her ear, "Qiuyu, things like revenge... you should leave them to us men."
After settling his wife down, Gu Feiyun began to look through the information he had gathered over the past few days, especially the information about Cheng Yuan.
Soon, Gu Feiyun saw the name Jin Pengfei. His eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but get excited.
A few days ago, something major happened to the Wang Family!
Wang Yuanju, the sister of the Wang Family’s current Patriarch, Wang Yuanchen, had died tragically at their family’s doorstep. Her son, Jin Tianxiang, had gone mad. His health deteriorated until he breathed his last yesterday.
’Could it be that this matter is related to Cheng Yuan?’
’Whether it’s related or not, I have to pin this on Cheng Yuan!’
The Hu and Zhu Families hadn’t announced to the Martial Dao Community that Cheng Yuan had entered an inheritance sequence, so the Wang Family had no need to act timidly or fear the power of the Hu and Zhu Families.
’Once they learn Cheng Yuan is the murderer, they’ll stop at nothing to eliminate him!’
’The Wang Family has several Divine Grandmasters. Wang Yuanchen, in particular, is at the Divine Grandmaster Peak, just a hair’s breadth away from touching the realm of a Grandmaster. If Wang Yuanchen makes a move himself, Cheng Yuan is a dead man!’
Gu Feiyun’s pupils flickered. He dialed a familiar number. The call connected quickly, and a somewhat gloomy voice came through: "Feiyun, what do you need?"
"Zhongtian, I’m in a bad mood. Come have a few drinks with me. The usual place."
Soon, Wang Zhongtian arrived at Jingxin Tavern.
"Feiyun, what’s wrong with you? This is the first time I’ve ever seen you so down."
Gu Feiyun didn’t reveal that Gu Chen had died violently. Instead, he feigned annoyance and said, "Who else could it be but that good-for-nothing Ah Chen? He actually let some ex-con from Luocheng steal his fiancée!"
"An ex-con? What’s the story?"
"Speaking of which, you should have heard of that ex-con, Zhongtian. Back in the day, your nephew, Jin Pengfei, stole his girlfriend. He injured Jin Pengfei, and that’s why he was locked up for two years."
Gu Feiyun said it as if it were nothing, but Wang Zhongtian took notice.
"Something like that happened? I’ve never heard about it! He’s just some ex-con. Pengfei could have handled him easily, so how could Ah Chen have his fiancée stolen?"
"Who knows what kind of lucky break that ex-con got. He now has the Cultivation to defeat an ordinary Grandmaster. Ah Chen’s two bodyguards were crippled!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhongtian’s mind reeled!
’This ex-con has the strength to defeat an ordinary Grandmaster?’
’In that case...’
"Feiyun, I have something important to do. I’ll have a drink with you next time. I have to go!"
Wang Zhongtian hurried out of the tavern, pulled out his phone, and said in a cold voice, "Investigate someone for me. He’s from Luocheng, his name is Cheng Yuan, he’s young, and he’s an ex-con!"
"Yes."
Soon, the information was compiled and sent to him.
Wang Zhongtian’s expression turned ugly. The kid really had crippled Gu Chen’s two bodyguards!
’Ever since he got out of prison, Pengfei died bizarrely. Then there was Aunt and Cousin.’
’Looking at it this way, none of this was a coincidence!’
Wang Zhongtian hurried home and found Wang Yuanchen.
"Father, look. This is the information I just received. The deaths of Aunt, Cousin, and my eldest nephew might not be a coincidence!"
Wang Yuanchen carefully reviewed the documents. When he reached the end, he exploded in a thunderous rage. A surge of blood rushed up his throat, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
With great effort, he managed to calm his roiling blood.
"What a Cheng Yuan! What a scoundrel! The absolute audacity! To actually kill my sister! I will kill this whelp! No! I will exterminate his entire family!!"
After speaking, Wang Yuanchen took out his phone and made a call.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. A slightly wooden voice came through, "Eldest Brother. You called. What is it?"
"Second Brother, you and the Third will come out of seclusion immediately. You’re coming with me to Luocheng!"
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Wang Yuanchen looked at Wang Zhongtian expressionlessly. "The Wang Family is in your hands. I’ll be back soon. Don’t let any trouble break out while I’m gone!"
"Father, rest assured."
...
Cheng Yuan, unaware that his role in Wang Yuanju’s death had been exposed, drove the new Mercedes-Benz he had just bought back to Villa No. 1.
Shen Youchu was very diligent, putting all her effort into her Cultivation.
What troubled Shen Youchu was that when she cultivated with Cheng Yuan, her Cultivation progressed quickly. But whenever she cultivated alone, her progress was very slow.
In a whole morning, Shen Youchu had only managed to open three minor Meridians.
For an ordinary Martial Artist, this speed was already freakishly fast. However, Shen Youchu had experienced an even more insane rate of Cultivation, so she was rather unimpressed with her current pace.
"Youchu, how’s your progress today?"
Shen Youchu pouted. "Brother, you should take me with you wherever you go from now on. When I’m not by your side, my Cultivation speed is so slow!"
Cheng Yuan smiled and shook his head. "I can’t do that. You’re a grown woman now. You’ll have to get married sooner or later. You need to learn to be independent."
"No, no way! I’m not getting married! If I have to marry someone, I want to marry you, Brother!"
Cheng Hongbing and Wu Xiuli were amused and laughed, but Cheng Yuan was a bit embarrassed.
"Youchu, don’t say such things in the future. You’re my sister, how could you marry me? Come on, let’s go practice."
Cheng Yuan was afraid Shen Youchu would say something even more outrageous, so he quickly led her away.
After entering the training room, Shen Youchu’s eyes lit up. Her feeling wasn’t just an illusion!
When Cheng Yuan wasn’t around, her Cultivation speed was incredibly slow. But cultivating by his side, even without consuming medicinal foods, her Cultivation speed increased by more than ten times!
In just a few short minutes, Shen Youchu broke through a minor Meridian!
The feeling was very strange. Cheng Yuan was like a catalyst in a chemical reaction. Just by being near him, the cellular activity in her body increased significantly!
’After confirming her judgment, Shen Youchu became even more determined. She would follow her brother for the rest of her life and would absolutely, positively never marry anyone else!’
Time flies when one is cultivating. In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Wu Xiuli didn’t disturb Cheng Yuan’s Cultivation. She placed their meal in the training room and quietly left.
According to the records of the Celestial Witch Inheritance, the key to achieving the Divine Realm was to fuse Spiritual Power with True Essence, allowing the True Essence to be tinged with a trace of divinity. The power of the True Essence would then increase many times over!
It was here that Cheng Yuan encountered a bottleneck in his Cultivation for the first time.
Because of his Double Pupil, Cheng Yuan’s Spiritual Power was of too high a grade. It looked down upon the True Essence within his body, requiring a higher grade of True Essence or even Immortal Energy to fuse successfully.
After cultivating for a full day, Cheng Yuan still hadn’t found a way to combine his Spiritual Power and True Essence.
Just as Cheng Yuan was growing frustrated, he suddenly sensed an oppressive aura!
Cheng Yuan quickly activated his Double Pupil and used his X-ray Vision, looking in the direction the aura was coming from.
Cheng Yuan’s gaze instantly pierced through several walls, and he saw three grim-faced old men breaking into Villa No. 1!
