Chapter 3246: The Pull of Fate
The grandfather who loved me in my father's words has disappeared for nearly ten years. Now, a good man like my father has also passed away.
The cruel reality ruthlessly tore apart all his fantasies about beauty in his heart.
"No!"
Gu Yingjian, who had been bowing his head, suddenly raised his head as if he had suddenly figured out something.
He took off the jade pendant on his waist and gently placed it in front of his father's ice coffin. Gu Yingjian felt relieved and his face suddenly returned to its original color.
...
"Tomorrow is the big day for Shuiyue Sect to elect a new leader. I want to seek justice for my father!"
To do nothing is to do nothing.
Gu Yingjian finally understood.
To maintain the righteousness of the world, you must do something.
And...
You have to do a lot!
He walked out of the ancient tomb quickly. I don't know when the heavy rain had stopped.
But the gloomy sky has not yet cleared the clouds to see the moon.
After closing the stone door of the ancient tomb successfully, Gu Yingjian walked down the mountain. When he came to the stone bridge in front of the back mountain, he was greeted by a person he didn't want to see.
"Hey, isn't this our famous Thirteenth Young Master? Why, you come here to play with mud?" This ruffian cloth-clothed man is an ordinary manager of Shuiyue Sect. From his attitude towards Gu Yingjian, it is not difficult to see how he bullies Gu Yingjian on weekdays.
To this day, Gu Yingjian no longer has the constraints of his father. Facing this fox-like bullying dog, he just smiled contemptuously and passed by him.
"Huh?"
Gu Yingjian's abnormal behavior made the man's heart tremble: Why is the Thirteenth Young Master a little different today?
Grabbing Gu Yingjian's soaked robe, the man raised his face and scolded fiercely: "Why, the young master has also learned to be arrogant?"
"Let go." Gu Yingjian's voice was a little cold.
Hearing this, the cloth-clothed man couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Ha! My God, are you talking to me? Are you sure you are itching again?"
The man was used to bullying Gu Ying Jian.
So due to years of habit, he didn't notice that Gu Ying Jian had completely transformed at this time.
Having his robe grabbed, Gu Ying Jian's eyes were unusually calm. He looked at the fallen leaves floating in the river under the bridge. With a slight move of his right hand, a fallen leaf flew into between his two fingers.
Clamping the fallen leaf, Gu Ying Jian's eyes were so cold: "I'll give you one last chance, let go."
"Oh my god~ I'm scared to death, I beg you not to give me a chance, okay, come on, hit me, don't be afraid, I'll let you hit me, really." The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and moved his face closer.
Everyone in Shuiyue Sect didn't know that Gu Ying Jian was timid and cowardly, and even a three-year-old child could ride on his neck and pee.
However, all the humiliation in those days was just his deliberate forbearance. It was this long-term forbearance that finally honed his indifferent character.
A sharp sword with a long-standing edge is about to be unsheathed!
"In that case, then you can go to sleep."
Gu Yingjian shook his head regretfully, and the fingers holding the fallen leaves suddenly flicked.
"Swoosh!"
A shadow flashed out in an instant, directly passed under the man's neck, and finally flew into the back mountain without a trace.
The man only groaned, covered his bleeding neck with both hands, and fell into the river with a horrified look.
Gu Yingjian didn't even look at him, casually put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the villa where he lived.
This was the first time he had killed someone in his life.
Before he took action, he was still a little hesitant.
But after he took action, he found that the feeling of killing a bad guy was so comfortable.
This feeling was like the bloodthirsty nature hidden in his bones was quietly stimulated.
But,
Even so,
He still stuck to his original intention.
Killing,
Just to eliminate evil!
…
The villa where Lonely Sakura Sword lived was the most remote corner of Shuiyue Sect, facing the mountain in the east, the sea in the west, and the endless swamp in the north.
There was only a broken thatched house that could not block the sun and rain, standing in front of the swamp in a dilapidated state, no one cared, and the heavens were especially pitiful.
So he has been through a lot over the years, with the extraordinary status of the Thirteenth Young Master, but he lives a miserable life that is even worse than that of the servants.
After a night of correction, the next day, the first ray of clear sunlight in the morning fell from the gap in the roof of the thatched house, forming a series of warm golden lines in the house. Lonely Sakura Sword, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch, finally opened his deep eyes.
A faint spiritual light flowed from his breath and returned to his body. At this moment, his eyes showed a fiery fighting spirit that had never appeared before.
Today is the big day for Shuiyue Sect to select a new leader.
As a descendant of one of the thirteen clans, even if he doesn't covet the position of the shitty leader, he has to seek justice for his father in front of everyone.
...
Shuiyue Sect, as one of the five great sects of Xingyue Empire, still has a huge foundation even though it has declined for ten thousand years.
Let alone how many skills and spiritual techniques are hidden in Shuiyue Sect, the territory of Shuiyue Sect alone is as vast as a city.
The houses and streets are crisscrossed and dazzling, far beyond the reach of ordinary sects.
At this time, in the martial arts hall of Shuiyue Sect, hundreds of people sat in a circle, and the sound of heated discussion continued.
An old man with white hair and a white robe, who looked like an immortal, sat on the red platform. He was Gu Chengyuan, the great elder who protected the Shuiyue Sect. His important task today was to select a new sect leader from the younger generation!
Of the thirteen branches of the Gu family, only six people remained by Gu Yingjian's generation, and the rest died in accidents.
Among those who died young, one was Gu Yingjian's twin brother, Gu Yingnian!
