653 Did I Say You Can Leave?
However, he had no choice. His stupid second brother was used to being domineering and looking down on the world.
It was not scary to anger the Fire Nation. What was scary was the Heavenly Saint Mountain behind Jiang Lingâer. This was a colossus that could compete with the Heaven Mending Pavilion. Ten Tianlong Cities were not enough for them to fight against them. At this time, if they didnât admit defeat, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
On the other side, Jiang Lingâerâs expression finally eased a little when she saw the other partyâs family head personally come out to apologize. Today was the Heaven Mending Holy Landâs territory. She did not want to cause trouble. If Yaya had not suffered, she would not have bothered with these people.
After a while, Jiang Lingâer looked coldly at Gu Zhijie and did not answer Gu Zhiqiu. She only looked at Yaya lovingly and said, âYaya, are you satisfied with this?â
Yaya knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to ask for anything. She was already very satisfied to see her aunt stand up for her. She nodded and said, âAunt, itâs better to avoid trouble. Itâs better not to blow things up.â
She was still a little worried. She was afraid that she would cause trouble and implicate her sect and her aunt. It was fine to just endure it.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Lingâer shook her head helplessly. She was still too young and not ruthless enough to know how sinister people were. Although she was still very angry, Jiang Lingâer still respected Yayaâs choice.
Jiang Lingâer did not intend to pursue the matter after some thoughts. After all, this was the Heaven Mending Pavilionâs territory and she was only a guest. Then, she looked at Gu Zhiqiu and said coldly, âPatriarch Gu, since your brother is insensible, donât let him come out and walk around for no reason lest he cause trouble. If thereâs a next time, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
Gu Zhiqiu was very unhappy when he heard this threat. Gu Zhijieâs face darkened. Today, the Gu family had lost all their reputation. Although Gu Zhiqiu was extremely unhappy, he still endured it.
âOf course, of course. When I get back, I will definitely discipline my insensible brother.â After making a promise, Gu Zhiqiu was about to bring him away.
At this moment, an understated voice came and stopped them. âWait a minute.â
Everyone looked over and realized that the person who spoke was Ye Qiu. They couldnât help but be stunned. The elders werenât even prepared to fuss over it, so why were you joining in the fun?
Everyone was puzzled, and Gu Zhiqiu was even more dissatisfied. He could not afford to offend Jiang Lingâer. Could he not afford to offend the young man in front of him? In this day and age, any rotten fish and prawns really dared to ride on their Gu familyâs heads to shit and pee?
Gu Zhiqiuâs expression turned cold. âSir, is there anything else?â
Ye Qiu could hear the unhappiness in his voice, but he didnât care. A faint smile appeared on his face. He walked out in a step and stood in front of Jiang Lingâer. Ye Qiu said calmly, âDid I say that you can leave?â
âHmm? What do you mean?â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the Gu family was instantly enraged.
Gu Zhijie cursed, âKid, donât push your luck. Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize us?â
âWho am I?â Ye Qiu wasnât angry. He smiled faintly and looked at Ku Muhai not far away. âElder Ku, please introduce me to this second-in-command of the Gu Clan. Who am I?â
As soon as these words were spoken, Ku Muhaiâs face instantly darkened. He knew that he could not escape todayâs matter. The thing he was most worried about had indeed happened. Jiang Lingâer wasnât a threat to him for the time being. The one who could really threaten him was Ye Qiu.
Hearing Ye Qiuâs words, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became extremely oppressive. Ku Muhai, who had been called out, had no choice but to brace himself and walk out.
Gu Zhiqiuâs expression changed and he had an ominous feeling. He originally thought that Ye Qiu was just a hot-blooded young man who wanted to save the damsel in distress. But when he saw the other party called out Ku Muhai, he immediately understood that this matter was probably not that simple. At the very least, the young man in front of him was far from as simple as he had imagined.
Ku Muhai walked out with a livid expression. Gu Zhijie had yet to realize the seriousness of the problem and even promised Ku Muhai. âElder Ku, thereâs no need for you to do it yourself. This person is arrogant and conceited. Iâve long wanted to deal with him.â
As soon as these words were spoken, Ku Muhaiâs expression turned terrifyingly ugly. âIdiot, shut up!â He was really not afraid of a god-like opponent, but of a pig-like teammate. At this moment, no matter how good his mentality was, Ku Muhai could not help but curse. He shouldnât have let Gu Zhijie do anything because this guy didnât have a brain at all. How could he not differentiate between big and small kings in this situation?
Ku Muhai slowly walked in front of Ye Qiu with a livid face. He bowed and said, âKu Muhai greets Your Highness.â
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd instantly erupted.
âWhat! Deityâ¦â
The expressions of Gu Zhiqiu and the others instantly changed. They never expected Ye Qiu to be the legendary Heaven Mending Deity. These words came from Ku Muhai. How could his credibility be fake?
Jiang Lingâer, who was beside Yaya, was even more shocked. âDeity! How is that possible? Iâve only heard of Ming Yue as the Saintess of the Heaven Mending Holy Land. Iâve never heard of the Deity.â
Jiang Lingâer was shocked. At first, she thought that Ye Qiu was just a hot-blooded young man who liked to fight for injustice, so she gave Ye Qiu a grateful look from the start. After all, he had protected Yaya. From the looks of it, that didnât seem to be the case.
On the other hand, when he heard that Ye Qiu was the Deity, Yu Changsheng stood up in shock. He really did not expect that not only would the Heavenly Saint Mountainâs Saintess show up in todayâs farce, but even the Heaven Mending Deity would appear.
What kind of reversal was this?
At this moment, no matter how stupid Gu Zhijie was, he should know his situation.
âDeity! How⦠how is this possible?â He looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief. He couldnât figure out why a high and mighty Deity would have nothing to do and come to the Zenith Heaven Hall to stand up for a little girl.
At this moment, the faces of everyone from the Gu family instantly turned pale, and their hearts were like dead ashes. This was the Heaven Mending Deity! In name, he was Meng Tianzhengâs spokesperson. Would they have a good time after offending him?
They knew very well what kind of existence Meng Tianzheng was. They instantly felt despaired. No one expected Yaya to have such a powerful background. She had Jiang Lingâer, the Saintess, and at the same time, Ye Qiu, the Heaven Mending Deity, to support her.
This scene was probably even more terrifying than any descendant of a large clan present, right?
Quietly looking at Gu Zhijieâs pale face, Ye Qiu smiled and said, âSecond-in-charge Gu, now you know who I am, right?â
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Zhijie instantly trembled in fear and almost fell to the ground, breaking out in cold sweat.
