All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 457 - 274: Want to see me? Roll in here. _1

Gu Qingfeng bowed his head, looking at the man before him with awe.

"Greetings, Senior," he said.

Su Bei glanced at Gu Qingfeng indifferently. Although it was impossible for him to take him as a disciple, their repeated encounters had developed a certain connection. Imparting one or two sword techniques to him would settle this karmic relationship. As for how much he could learn, that was none of Su Bei’s concern.

"You and I, Su Mou, share a considerable destiny. However, you wield a spear, and Su Mou is not proficient in that art," Su Bei said. "Still, Su Mou does know a sword technique or two..."

Gu Nan’s eyes flashed. With a broad smile, he rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, saying, "Hahaha, Elder Su... my son isn’t really set on spears. In fact, I’ve discovered he’s more suited to sword training. Learning swordsmanship from Elder Su would be an excellent choice..."

While speaking, he shot Gu Qingfeng a fierce glare, signaling him to take the hint.

That was swordsmanship personally taught by an Elder of the Sword Sect! If the Gu Family wished to advance further, seizing the opportunity to align with Elder Su was undoubtedly the best choice!

Gu Qingfeng swallowed hard, took a step forward, and knelt before Su Bei. "Gu Qingfeng is slow-witted and begs Elder Su for guidance."

He didn’t dare hope to become a direct disciple of the man before him. Merely receiving his pointers and becoming a named disciple would be satisfaction enough.

Su Bei naturally saw through the Gu Family’s little scheme but said nothing.

However, at that very moment, a terrifying crash was heard.

BOOM—

Outside the Gu Family’s mansion, a horrifying noise seemed to erupt, and the runes etched on the gates shimmered with light. Powerful auras surged over instantly, leaving everyone in the Gu Family stunned by the sudden attack.

Gu Nan frowned, turned his head to look at Su Bei, and said with a chuckle, "Please excuse this disturbance, Senior. I will handle this immediately..."

Then, an icy glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Who dares to trespass on the Gu Family’s grounds?"

Countless Gu Family disciples snapped to their senses and rushed towards the gates, their eyes blazing with anger. Although the Gu Family was hardly a famous clan in the Twenty-One Provinces, they were, at least, an established noble family in Xiegu City. How many years had it been since anyone dared to provoke them so brazenly? Merchants and cultivators in Xiegu City, upon meeting a Gu Family member, might not tremble in fear, but they would at least show proper respect. To openly attack the Gu Family now—were they utterly disregarding them?

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH—

Several powerful experts of the Nascent Soul Realm appeared instantly before the Gu Family’s main gates, observing the unfolding scene. Then, they saw the leading man, dressed in splendid attire, followed by a retinue of cultivators.

With a flick, Chu Tiankuo opened his folding fan and waved it gently. The white jade pendant adorning the fan dazzled brilliantly under the sunlight. This young nobleman finally displayed the superior demeanor he truly possessed, a stark contrast to his usual humility and courtesy. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gu Nan’s eyes twitched slightly. Then, forcing a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he looked at the man before him and spoke slowly, "Nephew Chu, what is the meaning of this? Are you here representing the Chu Family? Such a grand display. What, do you intend to annihilate my Gu Family? Quite an appetite you have there."

The surrounding cultivators watched in silence, their eyes filled with shock. This... The Gu Family actually has such a large appetite? And how dare the Chu Family do this? Although the Gu Family’s strength isn’t paramount among Xiegu City’s four great noble families, they are definitely not a force the Chu Family and Hu Family combined could simply swallow... What noble family would engage in a conflict that was a pyrrhic victory at best, causing severe losses to themselves just to damage the enemy? Where did they get such confidence?

Gu Nan’s eyes darted about. As an old fox who had been entrenched in Xiegu City for many years, connecting this to the recent misfortunes that had befallen the Gu Family members, a brief assessment was all it took for him to grasp the general situation. It seemed Chu Tiankuo had chosen this specific moment to appear, undoubtedly believing the Gu Family was already greatly weakened.

Chu Tiankuo’s eyes narrowed. He gently adjusted his sleeve and said faintly, "Uncle Gu, you are surely more aware of the Gu Family’s current situation than Chu Mou. Chu Mou advises the Gu Family to consider the continuation of your lineage and cease any further futile resistance."

The elders from the Chu Family and Hu Family behind him stepped forward. Dozens of powerful Nascent Soul auras fluctuated in the air, enveloping the entire Gu Family. The atmosphere over the area seemed to congeal for a moment; no one spoke, not a sound was heard, and everyone stood motionless, as if part of a static painting.

"Young man, your tone is even more arrogant than your father’s," Gu Nan said, his voice cold. "Your father would never dare speak to me in such a manner. A mere boy with little skill, yet you’ve learned such insolence. Today, the Gu Family has an honored guest, an existence who does not wish to be disturbed. For that reason, the Gu Family can overlook what has transpired today. You may all disperse now..."

A cold sneer touched Gu Nan’s lips. Although they faced the combined forces of the Chu and Hu Families, the Gu Family itself had not, as that Chu whelp believed, suffered a complete loss of its vital energy. If it came down to it, they could simply abandon the contest for the spirit stone mine. The immediate priority was to make these people disappear from the Gu Family’s presence quickly. They absolutely could not afford to anger Elder Su. Otherwise, a mere flick of that esteemed elder’s finger could bring utter and irrevocable doom upon the entire Gu Family.
