Chapter Ninety-Five: By the Shores of Flowing Emerald Lake

  Since the matter at Bǔ Tiān Gé was settled, he left through the secret passage and rushed to the Crown Prince's mansion at top speed. He finished telling everything in the shortest time possible, then returned at an even faster pace. The entire process took less than a minute!

  But Chu Yang already knew everything and was even waiting for himself here. Even if Tie Butian informed Chu Yang... it wouldn't be this fast!

  Cheng Zikang suddenly realized that the thoughts of the young man in front of him were as deep as the ocean. In his presence, anyone was transparent!

  This time, he didn't say anything, but it was clear that he had come to knock himself out.

  Your every move is in my hands. Don't have any crooked ideas, or you'll regret it!

  That's what I mean.

  Watching this figure leave with a gentle breeze, Cheng Zikang let out a deep sigh.

  Chu Yang walked in the night wind, feeling very comfortable. He had been paying attention to Cheng Zi Ang all along. Because he was 100% certain that Cheng Zi Ang was the spokesperson for Tie Bu Tian at Bu Tian Pavilion.

  Chengzi Ang may be a master, but he is not a qualified leader! The reason why he became the Chancellor before his arrival was that his strength was the highest among the existing people, and secondly, because he was reliable!

  Otherwise, Tie Butian would not let an outsider become the master of the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion, and Tie Butian, the founder, did not hold any leadership position in the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion, even a nominal one.

  That's because Tie Butian believed in Cheng Zi'ang.

  Chu Yang absolutely didn't believe that Tie Bu Tian would just let the matter of Bu Tian Pavilion drop like this. So, after things had ended and Cheng Zi Ang had disappeared without a trace, Chu Yang knew that he must have hurried off to report back to Tie Bu Tian.

  After all, with such a major change in power at Bǔ Tiān Gé, Iron Bǔ Tiān must be notified immediately!

  So Chu Yang went ahead and snuck into Chengzi Ang's room to wait for him.

  This feeling is not pleasant, Chuyang wants complete control, having a mole by his side feels really bad. However, getting rid of him directly is obviously impossible, so Chuyang needs to suppress this feeling and its influence to the lowest!

  You are a prince, okay! But in my place, if you're a dragon, you must coil up; if you're a tiger, you must lie down! I don't agree with you, so don't even think about stirring up any trouble!

  Don't think you're the crown prince's most trusted person and act like that. As long as I'm in charge here, this is my territory!

  Chu Yang hummed twice, letting out a strange and eerie laugh. The eerie sound spread through the night wind. A household by the road had an infant who was crying suddenly fell silent...

  All the way to Liutui Lake, even Chu Yang's extraordinary composure was shocked by the scene in front of him, leaving him staring blankly.

  The city wall is generally surrounded by walls and has already seen its initial shape. The originally quiet and elegant Flowing Emerald Lake, at this moment, is still a hot wave in the deep night.

  Moreover, there were many sturdy men with broad shoulders and waists carrying leather whips to supervise the work. On the top of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Gu Du Xing was hugging his arms, his eyes cold as ice, scanning around like a sharp sword, motionless.

  He just stood there motionless, but the entire Flowing Emerald Lake seemed to have entered a cold autumn.

  In the pavilion below, bodies were scattered all over the place in a state of utter disarray. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that dozens of people had been thrown there, but none of them were dead, yet they were all half-dead and half-alive, each one moaning weakly, yet not a single person dared to utter a curse.

  A certain brother's groaning grew louder, and Gu Du Xing on the pavilion furrowed his brow, coldly saying: "Noise!" With a loud crash, half a tile fell from the sky, precisely hitting the spot where this guy's leg was broken. Suddenly, a series of sharp gasps for air were heard, and the kind of extreme pain that made one want to scream but couldn't rose up...

  The people around him all shuddered suddenly.

  Chu Yang walked closer and closer with a head full of mist, suddenly slapping his own head: It's my fault, I didn't make it clear to Gu Du Xing that only occupying the central island would be enough, but this guy actually occupied the entire Flowing Jade Lake!

  But this... isn't it getting out of hand?

  "Are you here?" Gu Du Xing floated down from the pavilion like a cloud, standing in front of Chu Yang. Except for that one time when he got drunk and his face melted once, after sobering up, he immediately returned to his usual zombie-like cold hardness.

  "What's going on here?" Chu Yang pointed around him.

  "Hmm, I've taken over the entire Flowing Jade Lake!" Gu Du Xing said lightly: "Looking at the silver coins, there are quite a few. Moreover, we're pursuing speed, so, I've basically invited all the construction teams that can be hired."

  Chu Yang stumbled: "What's going on with these people?" He pointed to the group lying on the ground, their arms and legs broken by Gu Du Xing.

  "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning." Gu Du Xing said lightly: "It's said that this place was originally the residence of several high-ranking officials. These people were their household slaves. Yeah, most of them were stewards and the like; originally many came, but I sent them all back."

  With a cold glance, he said: "A few officials from secular countries dare to stop us from doing things, it's simply too arrogant!"

  Chu Yang stroked his forehead, speaking cautiously: "Has anyone been killed?" In his heart, he secretly prayed that this big brother wouldn't kill too many people, or it would be really hard to clean up the mess. Even if Tie Butian wiped his butt... there should still be some reason, right? Occupying someone else's place and then killing their people... it seemed like the side with justice wasn't theirs.

  After looking around, there were indeed many injured people, but as for corpses... it seemed like there weren't any.

  "Don't worry, I've taken care of it." Chu Yang felt a weight lift off his shoulders at Gu Du Xing's words, and he continued to hear him say: "But it was just a dozen or so, nothing major; besides, leaving the bodies here would be unlucky, so I had them taken away."

  Chu Yang's body trembled slightly, his face turned black. Finally, the speechless Qiao Qiao raised her thumb: "You're ruthless!"

  "A small quantity is not a gentleman, no poison is not a man!" Gu Du Xing said calmly: "Whoever is ruthless will survive!"

  Chu Yang was speechless and waved his hand: "I'm going to sleep."

  "Later."

  "What's up?"

  "It's your turn to take a look, I've been looking all day. Go practice your sword and rest." Gu Du Xing walked away without turning his head, throwing back a sentence: "There's no place to sleep here either, the previous ones were all dismantled by me. You can meditate instead."

  Chu Yang: ……

  Chu Yang ordered people to send all the injured to the shore, and when he looked for Gu Du Xing again, he had vanished.

  Chu Yang stood quietly for a while, shook his head, found a secluded spot near the water's edge, sat cross-legged and started operating the Nine Heavens Divine Art of the Nine Tribulations.

  For Chu Yang, every day's sleep time is the best time for cultivation! He won't give up this little bit of time.

  As thoughts sink into the sea of consciousness, Chu Yang's long sigh seems to quiet all things between heaven and earth. The slow heart is undistracted, a tranquil lake within, a peaceful scene.

  On this bustling construction site, he captured a tranquility that seemed out of this world!

  On the other side, Gu Du Xing who was practicing his sword skills suddenly jumped out with a start, and looked far away in the direction where Chu Yang was meditating, his heart filled with shock.

  How is this possible? Only four samurai?!

  Although Gu Du Xing was practicing his sword, he had been paying attention to Chu Yang's movements. Since that day when he said the two words "brother", Gu Du Xing felt as if he suddenly had a sense of dependence in his heart, feeling that he still had a relative in this world: Chu Yang!

  The two didn't discuss who was older or younger, but Gu Du Xing knew that Chu Yang's age was younger than his own. However, Chu Yang, who had been a stranger to him all his life, gave him hope when he was at the end of his road and helped him, leading him to the pinnacle...

  Since the day Chu Yang said 'Gu Miao Ling cannot be wronged, so I'll help you', in Gu Du Xing's heart, Chu Yang is not only his benefactor but also his brother! A brother who shares life and death together!

  Because he understands himself! Understands himself!
