Chapter 37
If the scene with Gu Qingfeng laying on his chair with Elder Huode fanning and pouring wine for him made them feel strange and amazed, the scene that had just happened was even more bewildering!
It was completely unbelievable!
Elder Huode had just slapped Li Sen into unconsciousness for calling Gu Qingfeng trash, then he berated Li Ziheng, an elder of the outer sect!
Was Li Ziheng a reckless person?
If that was the case, then the Li family would have been destroyed a long time ago .
Wasn’t that Gu Qingfeng just someone who had failed his Foundation Establishment? Just how powerful was he before?
Even if he was a dragon among men, in the end, he was still nothing more than a genius . Although these type of geniuses were rare, quite a few of them were present in the world
Was his family’s background so powerful that it could easily wipe out the Li family?
No one knew!
Li Ziheng just stood there, his face flushed with anger . Even though he was a member of the Li family and an elder of the Redcloud Sect, he didn’t dare to confront an angered Huode who had 800 years worth of experience .
“Elder Huode, Li Sen and others are after all disciples of the inner sect and they have been seriously injured by an outsider . I’m afraid that if we don’t do anything, it will damage the reputation of our Redcloud Sect . ”
Guang Yuan had a very haughty and indifferent expression, and while speaking, his malicious eyes swept over Gu Qingfeng, who was laying on his chair .
“Very good, Guang Yuan, you sure have balls!” Huode looked at him and sneered, “Even in front of me, you dare to put that high and mighty appearance! Just as I’d expect from Jinde’s disciple!”
“Grand Elder, you are misunderstanding . ” Guang Yuan maintained his indifferent appearance and continued, “I know that he is very important to you, but since he dared to beat up people, he must be punished accordingly . For the sake of our Redcloud Sect’s reputation, I hope you won’t protect him . ”
“Little bastard, you still haven’t finished?” Huode immediately became enraged .
Originally, Gu Qingfeng had said he would think about his proposition for a few days, therefore he carefully served at his side, afraid that he might be annoyed by something .
However, these bastards had appeared and wanted to cause trouble, and they did not even take the hint he gave them and insisted on remaining .
He could not resist any longer and he grabbed Guang Yuan’s collar, which finally shattered the composed appearance of his as he frighteningly screamed, “You! Elder Huode, what are you doing?!”
“What am I doing?”
Huode had a gloomy expression as he said, ‘Since you don’t want face, then go and punish him . Isn’t this what you came here for? Go, I’ll give you a chance to do it! Go, I want to see if you have the power to do it!”
Huode then strongly pushed him forward .
Guang Yuan’s face was ashen and the corner of his mouth was twitching endlessly . As Elder Jinde’s disciple and a major deacon of the Redcloud Sect, he had never lost so much face . However, he did not dare to say any word to Huode who was as angry as a lion right now!
“Didn’t you say you wanted to punish him, you little bastard? Do it! What’s wrong? You don’t dare?” Huode glared at him and angrily shouted
Opposite of Guang Yuan was a white-robbed young man, that from the beginning had been laying back on his chair with his legs crossed and his head slightly tilted . There was no trace of emotion on his face, but his dark and profound eyes were giving people a sense of bewilderment .

Perhaps it was because of Huode’s words, or because of the serenity and obscurity that were shrouding Gu Qingfeng’s body, or because Gu Qingfeng’s calmness that should not appear at this moment, but Guang Yuan just froze on the spot and did not dare to utter a word .
He just stared at Gu Qingfeng intently, as if he wanted to see through him, but the more he looked, the more afraid he got . Especially when he sensed that profound obscure aura on his body .
It made him feel very uncomfortable as if his life was about to come to an end, The more he looked at it, the harder was his soul trembling .
When he touched Gu Qingfeng’s vision, it was as if he had fallen into the infernal Underworld . Under his eyes, he felt as if he was just a speck of dust in the Underworld, and the stillness that reigned there was engulfing him, slowly taking away his life .
Guang Yuan was not capable of understanding why was this happening .
Gu Qingfeng was faintly smiling as he lifted his cup of wine and glanced at the man in front of him, “You are Guang Yuan?”
“You!” As soon as Guang Yuan opened his mouth, his voice was somewhat hoarse . He took a deep breath and then asked again in a deep tone, “Who are you!”
Gu Qingfeng smiled without saying anything . He looked at Guang Yuan and his thoughts seemed to go back to his youthful days .
Back then he was a janitor in the Redcloud Sect while Guang Yuan was an inner disciple . Because he was humiliated by him, Gu Qingfeng had beaten him up so badly that he almost killed him .
Naturally, he had also paid a heavy price for this, as he himself was almost killed by Guang Yuan’s master, Daoist Jinde .
In a wink, 500 years had passed .
Gu Qingfeng sighed and shook his head, took out a fist-sized magic treasure from his storage bag, “This is yours, take it back . ”
Seven Stars Golden Pagoda!
Guang Yuan immediately recognized this magic treasure . He had given it to his disciple, Li Sen, and he also knew that it had been stolen by this young man in front of him while he was in the Redleaf Valley .
“What? You don’t want it?” Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly and casually threw him the Seven Stars Golden Pagoda .
He poured himself another glass of wine and said, “Alright, this is the end of this matter . You can take your disciple and go back . ”
Judging by Gu Qingfeng’s tone and calm appearance, it seemed as if he was forgiving Guang Yuan .
The surrounding people felt this was extremely strange! Why was Guang Yuan spared when he was actually that one that came here to punish Gu Qingfeng?
Just what was happening?
Everyone felt that this was simply inconceivable, especially Ouyang Ye who was standing aside . Her mind was already confused when she entered the garden and saw Elder Huode acting like a servant in front of Gu Qingfeng, but at this moment, seeing how Gu Qingfeng magnanimously spared Gu Yuan, like an aloof king spared his subjects, she was thrown into even more chaos .
No one could understand why was Gu Qingfeng so calm! Not, Ouyang Ye, not Li Ziheng, not Tan Siru, not Yun Hong, not Ye Hui and not Guang Yuan .
Normally, if someone talked to him like this, Guang Yuan would definitely retaliate, but now he did not dare to do it .
The words that Huode had just said moments ago and the extremely abnormal calmness that emanated from the young man in front of him had completely terrified him .

“Little bastard, are you deaf? Go back immediately!” Huode shouted .
He was the only one among the present people who knew why Gu Qingfeng was so composed .
Or actually, to be precise, he wasn’t sure either .
According to his knowledge of Gu Qingfeng, he thought he would kill Guang Yuan on the spot . Even if he didn’t, he still would have cut off one of Guang Yuan’s legs or something similar, but he never thought that Gu Qingfeng would let him go back .
This was so out of character for someone who had been so brutal in the past .
Huode knew that Gu Qingfeng had never been soft on his enemies and had seen how he dealt with them countless of times . Things like killing, skinning, and breaking bones were considered light for Gu Qingfeng .
What he liked the most of to take out the souls of his enemies and torture them . If he considered they had enough, he would refine them, but if he didn’t, then he would torment them for eternity .
That was how Gu Qingfeng was treating his enemies .
Others might not know, but Huode was aware that Gu Qingfeng had been bullied by Guang Yuan in the past, and he was close to losing his life because of him . But even so, he still let him go, which puzzled Huode, but he did not bother to think anymore about it .
Looking at Guang Yuan who just froze on the spot, Huode was enraged, “Just take the face you obtained and immediately go back, otherwise you will die!”
Having said that, Huode carried Guang Yuan and threw him out .
If the scene with Gu Qingfeng laying on his chair with Elder Huode fanning and pouring wine for him made them feel strange and amazed, the scene that had just happened was even more bewildering!

A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.

8 355Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.
