Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Does anyone have a problem with this Young Master making him kneel for a day?
Upon hearing that someone from the Gu Family had come again, countless disciples from the Heavenly Cold Sect surged out of their quarters in the blink of an eye.
But when they saw that the newcomers were actually three young people, they were all utterly confused.
Apart from Gu Changge and Wang Yue riding on Spirit Steeds, there was also a young man standing beside Gu Changge, holding the reins of the Spirit Steed for him.
“Who is making such a racket?”
“They’re just three young people, what’s all the shouting for?”
“We thought some great power from the Gu Family had arrived, creating such a commotion.”
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
“This is pointless!”
Seeing that there were no other people accompanying the two, some began to grumble discontentedly, preparing to head back.
“Didn’t you see his waist card?”
“A black gold-plated waist card is something only the Gu Family Head or Young Master Gu can wear!”
“This is obviously Junior Sister Qingqing’s husband who’s come!”
“Surely he’s here about the schemes against Junior Sister Liu to demand an explanation!”
Quickly, someone spoke up to remind them.
Hearing this, they finally noticed that the young man on the Spirit Steed indeed wore a waist card of the same status as the Family Head.
For a moment, those who had been about to leave stopped in their tracks, ready to watch the excitement unfold.
After all, since no old monster had arrived and a fight was unlikely, they were curious to see what abilities this Young Master Gu actually possessed!
Right then, a beautiful figure swiftly flew through the air, arriving in front of the husband she had been longing to see, before finally stopping.
With their eyes meeting, Liu Qingqing bit her lip, her heart filled with joy, yet she also felt an inexplicable urge to air her grievances.
Like a child bullied in youth who had been holding it in, pretending it was no big deal—yet, upon seeing the relatives who could stand up for her, couldn’t hold back any longer.
“My wife, you must have suffered these days, haven’t you?”
Seeing her in this state, Gu Changge lightly leapt from the Spirit Steed, landing steadily in front of her.
He reached out to ruffle her hair and asked softly.
“Not really…” Liu Qingqing looked down and shook her head slightly.
“Someone plotted against you, nearly costing you your life, and you call that ‘not suffering’?” Gu Changge interrupted before she could finish speaking.
He then lifted his eyes and swept his gaze over the many Heavenly Cold Sect disciples that had come to watch the commotion.
Though those who came to Duanbei City for cultivation were almost all above the Reach Profound Realm, and he, currently in the Qi Sea Realm, when they met his gaze, the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples felt as though they were being looked down upon.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk at home.”
“I’ve just arrived at Duanbei City and haven’t even seen the elder yet.”
Gu Changge didn’t make any grand statements or engage in much talk, just swept his gaze around and then took his wife’s hand, helping her onto the Spirit Steed.
After she was seated on the Spirit Steed, Gu Changge didn’t follow her; instead, he took the Beast Ring from the hands of the Gu Family Disciple who had come with him, inquiring about his wife’s day, while leisurely walking.
Liu Qingqing hadn’t expected her husband to do this and was about to speak out, but he stopped her with a look.
“Tch…”
“Thought he was so capable, turns out he’s just leading Liu Junior Sister’s horse, eh?”
Just as Wang Yue was following and preparing to leave, a disciple at the early stage of the Fifth-Grade Ruins Realm from the Heavenly Cold Sect murmured softly.
The voice was not loud, but it reached Gu Changge’s ears nonetheless.
He stopped in his tracks, turned and glanced at the Heavenly Cold Sect disciple who had spoken.
Continuing to walk, he spoke, “This Young Master would like to see him kneeling in front of the Gu Family’s residence for a full day and night, any problem with that?”
“No problem.” Gu Qian Jun noted the man’s appearance and immediately bowed with his hands clasped.
After agreeing to Young Master Gu’s request, without another word, he rapidly closed the distance in a few flashes and stood right in front of the man.
Seizing the moment before anyone could react, he viciously stomped on the man’s shin!
“Crack—”
“Ah!!!”
“How dare you behave like this in our Sect’s territory!”
But Gu Qianjun paid him no attention and delivered another kick, breaking the man’s other leg.
With a second agonizing scream, the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect immediately erupted into chaos.
They quickly surrounded him.
“How dare you, you insolent fiend, to harm our Junior Brother Liu!”
Among them, a fellow disciple and senior brother swiftly reacted with fury and launched an attack.
In contrast, Gu Qianjun, with an unchanged expression, only raised his hand to block the blow and calmly said, “For showing disrespect to my Young Master, he’s lucky it’s just two legs.”
Then, he cautioned those eager to make their move, “Next, I will take him away from here, and I won’t fight back.”
Saying this, he dragged the man who had insulted the Young Master, like pulling a dead dog, towards the exit.
In an instant, the faces of the many disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect changed repeatedly.
No one dared to make a move; wherever he walked, they instinctively parted to create a pathway.
It would have been different if he had fought back, but his declaration of absolute non-retaliation left them unsure—others act with justification, but what would it mean if they attacked?
Fortunately, a Deacon from the Heavenly Cold Sect stepped out from the ranks of disciples and blocked his path.
“Young friend, since the punishment has already been delivered, let’s leave it at that.”
A broken leg was a minor matter; at worst, the Sect could give him some elixirs to help with his recovery, but if he truly had to kneel at the Gu Family’s residence for a day, they couldn’t afford to lose that face!
Gu Qianjun had no intention of engaging with him; he only knew that the Young Master said to make this person kneel for a day, so that was exactly what would happen.
Seeing this, the Deacon could only turn to Gu Changge and bow, saying, “Young Master Gu, although this individual has uttered disrespectful words, the Heavenly Cold Sect deserves some face, doesn’t it?”
“The Heavenly Cold Sect has face, and my face doesn’t count?”
Gu Changge, who had been watching the scene with satisfaction from a distance, said emotionlessly.
Though he was not a boisterous man, that didn’t mean he would allow anyone to command him.
Leading the horse for the Wife was meant to show these Heavenly Cold Sect people that his Wife was indeed important to him, with the Gu Family as her support.
But if they chose to point fingers on that basis, sorry, who do they think they are?
It was a good opportunity to see for himself what Gu Qianjun, the man the Elder had specifically named to serve by his side, was capable of.
Now, it seemed there was a good reason why the Elder had him accompany him.
“Come collect your man tomorrow; no need to see me out,” said Gu Changge when he saw the Deacon about to speak again, and without another word, he turned and left.
The Deacon glanced towards the residence and, seeing no Elder stepping forward, knew it was a lost cause, so he stepped aside to clear the path.
The Heavenly Cold Sect disciple, like a dead dog, was observed by many powers of Duanbei City along the way.
Not until they reached the Gu Family residence, where Gu Qianjun casually tossed him aside, did the man fix a red-eyed glare on Gu Changge, though he remained silent, his hatred was evident.
From today onwards, he was definitely unable to stay in Duanbei City; he had lost all face!
“Don’t look at me with that kind of stare.”
“I, the Young Master, have always been merciful and magnanimous, simply asking you to kneel through the night.”
“Do you know why no Heavenly Cold Sect Elder stood up for you?”
“It seems the Heavenly Cold Sect does indeed treat its disciples well, ready to lose face for the sake of a fool like you.”
Gu Changge said unhurriedly as he helped his Wife off the Spirit Steed, feeling her gaze upon him.
“What do you mean!” Liu Xin spat out through gritted teeth.
“I mean nothing in particular, if the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders had intervened, indeed, today you wouldn’t have lost face or the Sect’s dignity.”
“Even though my Gu Family may not necessarily conflict with the Heavenly Cold Sect over this minor issue, it’s just a word or even a gesture away from having your family behind you dealt with thoroughly and obediently.”
“Think it over and find an inconspicuous place to kneel down by yourself.”
“Of course, if you wish to leave, you are free to do so at any time.”
