Chapter 9 The wicked must be punished by the wicked!
Chapter 9 The wicked must be punished by the wicked!
Without saying a word, Gu Yu raised his hand and splashed the wine in his glass at the scarred man.
"what!"
Caught off guard, Scarface was immediately scalded and fell to the ground, clutching his face and letting out a bloodcurdling scream.
"you……"
Another bald man slammed his hand on the table and instinctively reached for the hilt of the knife on the table.
"Second brother, stop!"
Gong San shouted in time.
He knew that if the second brother drew his sword, things would likely get out of control.
He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Yu once more and said, "I don't know where I have offended you, young hero. Please enlighten me."
"Hehe, as the old saying goes, wicked people need other wicked people to teach them a lesson!"
Sun Xiaohong said with a grin.
Gu Yu glared at her, annoyed. "Hey, little girl, I'm standing up for you, and instead of thanking me, you're mocking me as a villain?"
Sun Xiaohong playfully stuck out her tongue and laughed, "That's different. They are truly evil people, and you are using evil to fight evil."
"That makes sense!"
Gu Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay—" He turned to look at Gong San, "I'd also like to hear you bark a few times. Just bark like a dog. If you bark well, I'll reward you with ten taels of silver."
Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
With so many people in front of him, how could Gong San possibly hold back?
"Kid, you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Before he could even open his mouth, he slapped Gu Yu hard in the chest.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that Gu Yu remained motionless, Sun Xiaohong couldn't help but let out a sharp cry.
"Bang!"
A palm struck Gu Yu's chest heavily.
Gong San couldn't help but reveal a smug, sinister smile.
This kid is far too arrogant, daring to take my palm strike head-on. He deserves his bad luck.
He was known as "Iron Palm" because he had practiced Iron Palm for over thirty years since childhood. He could kill not only a person, but even a cow with a single palm strike.
But before he could finish a sinister smile, he let out a scream and stumbled back several steps, crashing into a table of food and wine behind him.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Sun Xiaohong clapped her hands and cheered.
He then glanced at Gu Yu and exclaimed, "He actually withstood that palm strike! Impressive!"
The old man of heavenly secrets laughed and said, "Perhaps, this young hero is wearing golden silk armor."
These words immediately caused a stir in the entire tavern.
After all, countless people in the martial arts world dream of obtaining this treasured armor.
"Old man..."
Gu Yu turned his head and looked at the Heavenly Mystery Elder with a speechless expression.
That old geezer is clearly putting himself in a very dangerous situation!
He was indeed keen to test the effectiveness of the golden silk armor.
Moreover, even without the golden silk armor, with the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, what could the mere Iron Sand Palm do to him?
"So, he's the Wind Chaser Sword?"
"The golden silk armor is on him!"
The crowd's eyes burned with anticipation as they all stared over, looking eager and ready to pounce.
Sun Xiaohong said with some dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, how could you do this? He was standing up for his granddaughter, but you deliberately revealed his secrets. Is the matter of the Golden Silk Armor something that can be discussed in public?"
"My dear granddaughter, Grandpa didn't mean it, I was just joking. Who knew these people would take it so seriously?"
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
A sudden noise startled everyone.
Following the sound, they saw two more corpses on the ground, blood still gushing from their throats.
Judging from the situation, both of them were holding hidden weapons, but they were killed before they could throw them.
Whose skills are so superb?
"Flying... Flying Swordsman!"
Finally, some people started to pay attention to Ah Fei.
He was drinking slowly.
However, the sword on the table was still dripping blood from its tip.
The tavern fell silent once again.
Immediately, someone laughed and said, "Let's drink! Let's drink!"
"Brother Zhang, do you still remember the Nine-Turned Intestines from the Lichun Courtyard?"
"Absolutely! How could we forget the girls feeding us by hand?"
As if nothing had happened, the group chatted and drank.
"Pfft~"
Gong San coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Woof, woof..."
Surprisingly, he actually imitated a few dog barks.
"Woof woof woof, hahaha!"
"Woof!"
"Hahaha……"
He ran out of the tavern like a madman, barking like a dog and laughing wildly.
Gu Yu took out a silver ingot and tossed it to the bald man, saying, "This is the reward money for Gong San barking like a dog. Give it to him."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The bald man broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly responded, and then dragged the scarred man away in a panic.
What is meant by "on-site social death"?
This is!
As soon as they left, Gu Yu went to the table where the Heavenly Mystery Elder and his grandson were sitting down without waiting for an invitation.
"Grandpa, how about I tell you a story too?"
The old man of heavenly secrets smiled and said, "Very well, that's nice of you. I'll treat you to a drink."
"Hmm, what should I talk about?" Gu Yu pretended to think for a moment, "How about telling the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"
Sun Xiaohong laughed and said, "I've been listening to Grandpa tell these stories since I was little, and I'm already tired of them."
"No, no, no, what I'm talking about is different."
"Oh?" Sun Xiaohong asked curiously. "Then tell me about it."
"Speaking of which... wait, what's Sun Wukong's staff called again? I think it's something like the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Wish-Fulfilling Staff)..."
"Cough cough cough!"
The old man Tianji was drinking when he suddenly choked and started coughing.
His signature weapon is the Heavenly Secret Staff, also known as the Ruyi Staff.
Now, when Gu Yudong started rambling and suddenly brought up the words "Ruyi Bang" (a magical staff), I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"As for why it's called the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), it cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken, it's a secret of heaven..."
The old man of heavenly secrets said urgently, "Little Hong, quickly pour the young hero some wine!"
Sun Xiaohong naturally understood the hidden meaning, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Gu Yu, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your help earlier, I'd like to offer you a toast!"
Gu Yu smiled and took the wine glass: "What kind of girl toasts like that? At least you should have a drink with her."
"All right!"
Sun Xiaohong responded.
Then, raising his glass, he said, "Now, may I offer you a toast?"
"Of course, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"
After drinking a glass, Sun Xiaohong looked at Gu Yu, about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yu smiled at her, and then...
blinked.
Blinking is nothing unusual; everyone blinks.
However, Gu Yu blinked his right eye provocatively, his gaze seemingly drawn out.
Sun Xiaohong's face flushed red instantly.
This guy...
He's actually flirting with me?
Her heart was pounding, and she glanced at her grandfather with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, the old man of the heavens did not notice this little action.
"you……"
Sun Xiaohong glared at Gu Yu again, biting her lip in anger.
Gu Yu, however, remained nonchalant and said to the old man, "Old man, you are truly blessed. Your granddaughter has grown into a beautiful young woman. I wonder which lucky young man will be your granddaughter's husband?"
The old man Tianji laughed and said, "I can't make that decision. My granddaughter is all grown up and has her own opinions. Only she knows best what kind of ideal husband she wants to find."
Gu Yu nodded: "The old man is right. It's hardest to guess what a daughter is thinking."
He then looked at Sun Xiaohong, revealing a sunny and handsome smile: "Miss, may I be...?"
"There are cockroaches! There are cockroaches!"
Sun Xiaohong jumped and hopped around in a panic.
Good heavens, this guy has such a thick skin!
He wouldn't actually ask that embarrassing question to his face, would he?
