Chapter 150: Chapter 138: The Return of Blood-clothed Building_1
Gu Chen sat in a corner of the inn, in fact, as soon as Yu Qiushi had just walked into the inn with people from the Canghai Sect, Gu Chen, although he did not even lift his head, had already conjured an image of the Canghai Sect's group in his mind. Naturally, he had also noticed Yu Qiushi.
However, the two were not exactly acquainted, they had even crossed hands before, with no amicable relations, but some grievances, which is why Gu Chen did not call out a greeting.
But now, since Yu Qiushi had recognized him, Gu Chen also put down his chopsticks and nodded at Yu Qiushi, as a form of greeting.
Seeing this, Mo Zilin and the others from the Heavenly Saber Sect felt somewhat awkward, especially Mo Zilin, who didn't expect that the very Gu Chen he had just mentioned happened to be sitting right beside them.
Especially since Yang Mingyue had been extremely rude to Gu Chen just now, no wonder, knowing that they were from the Heavenly Saber Sect, Gu Chen still dared to remain so calm, and almost made a move on Yang Mingyue, he truly had no fear.
Mo Zilin's face was thick-skinned enough, not revealing a single bit of his inner thoughts, as he clasped his fists towards Gu Chen and said with a smile, "So it turns out this is Lord Gu Chen, who has been the hot topic of discussion in the world recently. Mo is truly shortsighted for not recognizing you sooner.
It is indeed true that hearing of someone's reputation cannot compare to meeting them in person. My earlier offense was truly unwarranted, I hope Lord Gu does not take it to heart."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen responded with an indifferent expression, "Such a little reputation is not worth mentioning. Compared to the acclaim Young Master Mo has in the martial world, I am far behind."
Sitting next to Mo Zilin, Yang Mingyue's pretty face immediately darkened upon seeing Gu Chen, clearly, she still harbored the recent events in her heart.
Hearing Gu Chen's words, she proudly laughed, her head held high, "Of course that's true. How could a nobody like you compare with my brother Zilin? Do you think you're worthy?"
Gu Chen looked at Yang Mingyue, his gaze unfathomable, wondering if there was something wrong with her head, how had she managed to survive until now with such a personality?
Faced with such an idiot, Gu Chen didn't want to waste his words and simply ignored her outright.
Yu Qiushi beside them was also somewhat speechless, knowing full well the reputation and power behind Gu Chen, and with the backing of the Jing Tian Department of Da Xia, even if the Heavenly Saber Sect was strong, it couldn't compare with Da Xia. Was this woman's brain damaged, to utter such words publicly?
Seeing Yang Mingyue behave as she did, both Mo Zilin and Master Hu Wanyuan of the Heavenly Saber Sect showed somewhat embarrassed expressions, with Mo Zilin even tugging at Yang Mingyue's sleeve, "Mingyue, show some respect."
Upon seeing this, Yang Mingyue felt indignant and said with an aggrieved tone, "What's wrong? Did I say something incorrect? Brother Zilin, you possess the complete Vajra Stage cultivation and have even reached the third level, like the robustness of a wild dragon. How can just any Tom, Dick, or Harry be compared with you?"
At her words, Mo Zilin's face darkened, and he scolded, "Enough, don't say another word!"
"Brother Zilin, you..." Seeing Mo Zilin's changing expression, and his stern tone, even not taking her side, Yang Mingyue was also a bit stunned.
Master Hu Wanyuan also softly said from the side, "Miss, this Gu Chen comes from the Jing Tian Department of Da Xia. It's better not to be too disrespectful, please mind your words."
Seeing that even Hu Wanyuan wasn't taking her side, Yang Mingyue immediately felt discontented and shouted, "I don't care, all I know is he bullied me, and even threatened me. And not only do you not speak up for me, but you also dare to scold me. What Jing Tian Department or not, once we return, I'll tell my father how you've bullied me. I'll have him chop this bumpkin into pieces!"
Hearing Yang Mingyue speak in such a manner, Mo Zilin, as well as Hu Wanyuan, instantly changed their expressions and thought to themselves that this was bad.
"Junior Sister, you..."
Before Mo Zilin could finish speaking, Gu Chen's gaze was already on him. With an expressionless face, he stated, "The head of the Heavenly Saber Sect, Tian Dao Yang Ling, has an illustrious name and great renown in the martial world, revered by many as a grandmaster-like figure. How is it then that he has a daughter as foolish as this?"
About Yang Mingyue's identity, Gu Chen had already overheard discussions from martial artists at the neighboring table while eating, and he was indeed curious as to how, with Tian Dao Yang Ling's temperament, his daughter could be such a dimwit?
"You dare insult me?"
Upon hearing Gu Chen call her an idiot, Yang Mingyue couldn't take it anymore and shouted as she rushed towards Gu Chen, her mouth screaming that she would kill him.
Seeing this, both Mo Zilin and Hu Wanyuan were startled and quickly grabbed hold of Yang Mingyue, while Mo Zilin said in a deep voice to Gu Chen, "Lord Gu, I admit my junior sister said some things she shouldn't have, but with your status, was there a need to stoop to the level of a girl of her age? Aren't you losing dignity by doing so?" Your journey continues at M V L
Gu Chen heard this and smiled faintly, "Since Young Master Mo says my status is above hers, yet she dared to utter those words to provoke me, if an idiot who doesn't understand her place is not taught a lesson by me, I presume Tian Dao Yang Ling wouldn't have anything to say about it, right?"
The Canghai Sect members sitting nearby watched the scene unfold, silently sitting on the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle.
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Mo Zilin's face instantly darkened and he replied, "Lord Gu, this seems a bit too much. What status does my master have? He is a world-renowned martial arts grandmaster. Although you come from the Jing Tian Department and hold a remarkable position, you are still not on the same level as my master, let alone qualified to discipline my junior sister on his behalf.
It's better if you don't make such statements in the future, to avoid being laughed at."
