Chapter 575
With his skilled, flowery words to deceive Min Rou,
it would be very easy to escape punishment.
The reason he didn't want to be taken away by Gu Hanyuan
was only because he didn't want to leave the Changle Gang, where he could do whatever he wanted.
At this moment, seeing that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined,
he hurriedly cried for help to Shi Qing and Min Rou:
"Father! Mother! Save me!"
Shi Qing's expression was ugly.
He felt both disappointed and heartbroken for this son who failed to live up to his expectations.
Seeing the situation developing more and more unfavorably,
he could only lower his head and say:
"Please, Nephew, show mercy."
However, Gu Hanyuan said coldly and sternly:
"Do you two uncles want Gu to clean up the sect on the spot?"
Upon hearing this, Min Rou was shocked and pale.
She hurriedly pleaded:
"No!"
Seeing that things had reached this point, Shi Qing
thought that rather than letting Gu Hanyuan clean up the sect on the spot,
it would be better to wait until they were taken back to Mount Wudang for trial.
There might not be no room for maneuver.
He had to say with a reluctant expression:
"Nephew is right; let's take him back to Mount Wudang first."
Unfortunately, he had no idea what Gu Hanyuan's purpose was.
A playful look flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes;
he felt that Shi Zhongyu was a useful chess piece.
Seeing that both sides had reached a conclusion,
if Gu Hanyuan took Shi Zhongyu away,
then who would accept the Reward Good and Punish Evil order?
He could only bite the bullet and block them:
"Young Master Gu, you cannot take our Sect Master away."
Gu Hanyuan glanced at Bei Haishi with eyes like swords,
and mocked:
"Bei Haishi, are you sure you want to stop Gu?"
Bei Haishi only felt a chill in his heart.
His hidden martial arts were of no use at this moment.
A sense of terror, as if his life could be swallowed at any moment, surged over him.
Where could he still care about Shi Zhongyu?
He said urgently:
"I dare not."
Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:
"Since you dare not, then make way."
Upon hearing this, Bei Haishi
could only make way with an ugly expression.
He saw Shi Jian wanting to follow Gu Hanyuan,
and hesitated for a moment,
but still gave up on speaking out to stop her in dejection.
Gu Hanyuan ignored Shi Zhongyu's crying and wailing,
and just like that, carried him back to the Ling Fu.
Shi Qing and Min Rou followed along, sighing all the way.
Shi Qing was an upright person,
who had spent his whole life acting righteously,
and had a reputation as a hero in the Jianghu.
He hadn't expected his own son to ruin his reputation.
The more he heard Shi Zhongyu crying and begging for help,
the uglier his expression became.
Min Rou didn't have as many burdens as Shi Qing.
Back then, Mei Fanggu had taken advantage of Shi Qing being away
to attack Min Rou and her son at the Xuan Su Manor.
Min Rou had failed to defend them and lost her young son, Shi Zhongjian.
Because of this, she began to spoil Shi Zhongyu,
leading Shi Zhongyu to gradually develop a stubborn and cunning personality.
Min Rou knew clearly that her son's behavior was base,
but she still tried to think of him in a positive light.
Every punishment was raised high and lowered gently.
But this time was different from the past.
She couldn't make the decision herself to let Shi Zhongyu escape punishment.
If Shi Zhongyu were truly taken to Mount Wudang,
he certainly wouldn't have a good time.
Out of the good impression and trust she had for Gu Hanyuan back at the Southern Shaolin,
she decided to go and plead for mercy privately,
to see if he could be dealt with leniently.
When Gu Hanyuan brought everyone back to the Ling Fu,
Huang Rong was talking to Hua Wanzi, her mind elsewhere.
She didn't know when she had fallen into a confused sleep last night,
but when she woke up, the pillowcase was covered in damp marks,
as if reminding her of everything that happened last night.
That stinging pain surged into her heart again.
After finally pulling herself together,
she discovered that Gu Hanyuan was not in the Ling Fu again.
Subconsciously, she thought he had gone to find the three women with different scents from last night.
She wanted to be jealous,
but the stinging pain in her heart reminded her
that she no longer even had the qualifications to be jealous.
A melancholy mood tortured her for a long time,
before she could barely pull herself together to discuss countermeasures with Ling Tuisi.
The Mongol Yuan intelligence Gu Hanyuan brought last night
explained the severity of the situation.
Not long after, Hua Wanzi came to visit,
indicating that the Snow Mountain Sect was willing to follow orders. ===== CHAPTER 577 =====
