Chapter 50: Gu Yinger's Request
To the Guiyuan Sect, Luo Tian was their savior.
Therefore, Ling Xuzi's words were within reason.
"Young Master Luo Tian, this monk also thanks you on behalf of the people of the Night Wind Kingdom. If you have any commands in the future, my Fumo Temple will never refuse!" Master Yuan Tong also expressed his thanks.
"And me! Young Master Luo, my elder brother died at the hands of this fiend. You avenged me, so count me as owing you a life!" Ghost Calculator also said.
These few people began to vie with each other to show favor to Luo Tian.
"This... isn't that a bit much?" Luo Tian felt a bit embarrassed.
"Young Master Luo Tian, this is the good intention of these seniors. If you refuse, they will feel even worse," Gu Yinger explained from the side.
Hearing this, Luo Tian stopped declining.
It was then that Ling Xuzi turned to look at Gu Yinger and said, "Your Highness, I almost forgot to ask, what business brings you to our Guiyuan Sect?"
Gu Yinger's expression stiffened, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "True Person, the junior has come to seek aid from you and the Guiyuan Sect!"
"Seek aid?" Ling Xuzi was taken aback.
Gu Yinger's eyes filled with tears as she said, "True Person, my Imperial Father is suffering from a severe illness and has been bedridden for half a year! Treacherous officials are running rampant in the court, and that guy... has already united the major clans and is ready to usurp the throne at any moment!"
"True Person, our Imperial House and the Guiyuan Sect have been on good terms for generations. Please, for the sake of our past ties, help my Imperial Father!"
After speaking, she knelt directly before Ling Xuzi.
Ling Xuzi immediately stood up to help her up, saying, "Your Highness, please rise quickly, this must not be! Our Guiyuan Sect has a pact with the Imperial House; we are duty-bound to help. As long as Your Highness speaks, the Guiyuan Sect will naturally give its all!"
Gu Yinger's eyes lit up, and she said, "Many thanks, True Person!"
Ling Xuzi's brows remained furrowed, however, and he said, "But Your Highness, forgive my bluntness, I saw that guy's ambition decades ago. His own strength is extremely formidable, and having prepared for so many years, I fear that relying solely on the strength of our Guiyuan Sect will not be enough to shake him."
Gu Yinger gritted her teeth and said, "I know this, but I will not give up!"
Ling Xuzi looked at Gu Yinger and gave a wink in Luo Tian's direction.
Gu Yinger was stunned for a moment before she instantly understood.
Thump!
She knelt directly before Luo Tian.
"Young Master Luo Tian, I am Gu Yinger, Princess of the Night Wind Kingdom. Now that there are treacherous rebels in the court, Gu Yinger dares to ask Young Master Luo Tian to help me eliminate the rebels!"
However, after hearing Gu Yinger's words, Luo Tian stood up directly.
"Sorry, not interested."
Having said that, he turned and walked away.
Luo Tian had thought it through clearly.
This kind of royal struggle was, to put it bluntly, an internal fight among the ruling class. What did who won or lost have to do with him?
Just because you, Gu Yinger, are good-looking, I should inexplicably wade into these muddy waters?
I'm not a simp.
Without benefits, why get involved in such karma?
Gu Yinger seemed not to have expected that Luo Tian would actually refuse her.
For a moment, her eyes were filled with despair.
"Fine, it was my intrusion. But even so, I will never forget Young Master Luo Tian's life-saving grace! If we can topple the Divine Martial King this time, I will make a special trip to thank you!" Gu Yinger bowed and said.
Luo Tian had originally been prepared to leave.
But after hearing these words, he stopped in his tracks.
"Wait a minute? Who did you say you were going to topple?" Luo Tian turned his head and asked.
Gu Yinger was stunned for a moment and said, "The Divine Martial King!"
The Divine Martial King himself possessed formidable strength, and his subordinates were well-equipped and strong.
Over these years in the Night Wind Kingdom, he could be said to have covered the sky with one hand.
His disloyal heart was known to all.
Gu Yinger had originally assumed Luo Tian knew who she was talking about.
But looking at it now, it seemed he didn't?
Luo Tian turned back and looked at her, saying, "So the treacherous person you mentioned is also the Divine Martial King, is that right?"
Gu Yinger nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Luo Tian said coldly, "Alright, I'll help you with this."
"Huh?" Gu Yinger was even more bewildered.
What was going on?
"Young Master Luo Tian, may I ask why?" Gu Yinger asked in surprise.
She couldn't quite understand everything that had happened today.
Luo Tian said indifferently, "I have a grudge against the Divine Martial King's Mansion. Even if you didn't come to me, I would have to go to them!"
Although Luo Tian had no feelings for Lan Xiuer,
what Lan Xiuer had done had still disgusted Luo Tian.
And the reason that woman was so arrogant was, in the final analysis, because she had the Divine Martial King backing her.
Therefore, he and the Divine Martial King had long since crossed paths.
If the Divine Martial King knew that a single Lan Xiuer had brought such a powerful enemy upon him, he wondered what he would think.
"Many thanks, Young Master Luo Tian!" Gu Yinger said, incredibly excited.
She had witnessed Luo Tian's strength with her own eyes.
An expert who could bump a Blood-Red Demon Scorpion to death in one go!
With him there, when facing the Divine Martial King, there was undoubtedly one more powerful helper!
"When do you plan to make your move?" Luo Tian asked.
Gu Yinger hurriedly said, "According to my intelligence network, on the fifteenth of next month, the Divine Martial King will take advantage of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony to launch a rebellion!" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
