"Mayor Qin, it seems that you plan to make me your enemy." Gu Feng said as he looked at Qin Zhan with his blood-red eyes.
That look made Qin Zhan a little scared and frightened, so he took a step back subconsciously.
A Peak Martial Cultivator being scared off by a Middle Rank Martial Cultivator was a joke to others, but no one present could laugh because they didn't even have the courage to face Gu Feng in his current state.
"Gu Feng, be clear now. Mo Yuan has already escaped. With your current condition, there's no way you can catch up to him!" This is the end of the grudge. " Qin Zhan stabilized his emotions and said.
Although Gu Feng was crazy, he was still rational. He was clear in his heart that Mo Yuan was a High Rank Martial Cultivator and was much faster than him. Furthermore, with Qin Zhan blocking them, it would be almost impossible to catch up to them.
He wasn't willing to give up just like that.
"Gu Feng, let's call it a day. There will be a lot of time in the future. You still have a lot of chances to get revenge, so why must you persevere?" Qin Ling's soft voice, which carried a hint of a pleading tone, entered Gu Feng's ears.
Suddenly, Gu Feng became much more clear-headed. He could no longer catch up with Mo Yuan. If he insisted on doing so, Gu Feng would probably fall on the path of pursuit. Furthermore, Qin Ling's words weren't wrong. There was still a long way to go, so he could just leave Mo Yuan alone for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Feng wasn't as emotional as before after hearing what Qin Ling said, Qin Zhan's worried heart finally calmed down. The farce this time could finally end.
Just the pitiful Chu Family, a joyous event was turned into a funeral by Gu Feng alone!
However, Qin Zhan was very happy. He was the biggest threat that the Floating Cloud City posed to him, Chu Chengfaang. They were all Peak Martial Cultivator and their strengths were equal, so no one could do anything about it. However, the feeling of being coveted was not good.
However, now that Chu Chengfaang had died at the hands of Gu Feng, it was definitely a joyous event for Qin Zhan.
Although Chu Family were powerful, the death of Chu Chengfaang and Chu Zhen was definitely a huge blow to them. Furthermore, without the Peak Martial Cultivator holding down the fort, their strength was already at that level, so they were nothing to worry about.
At this time, Gu Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at the servants who came to watch the fight.
Suddenly, everyone trembled and their legs went weak as they fell to the ground. The steward was especially afraid. Back then, he was the one who brought Gu Feng to the meeting room. What if he wanted to kill her for revenge?
Besides, Gu Feng even killed Chu Chengfaang, so how about them?
"I, Gu Feng, do not have the habit of venting my anger on others. All of this was caused by Chu Chengfaang and his son, and it has nothing to do with you. If there is anyone who wants to make things difficult for me in the name of revenge for them, I am willing to accompany you at any time! " Gu Feng said with killing intent.
Those people were already scared out of their wits and hurriedly nodded. After today, who would still dare to find trouble with this evil ghost?
"Also, if anyone dares to touch my foster father's grave, I'll chase them to the ends of the earth and pay them back with my teeth!" In Chu Family, there was one more thing Gu Feng could not let go of, and that was Gu Shun's grave.
He did not want his foster father to lose his calm after his death.
"Sir, don't worry. I will definitely protect Gu Shun well. I won't let anyone disturb Gu Shun's peace. I will also pay my respects during the new year festival." The steward calmed himself down and said.
Originally, the butler wanted to plead on behalf of the city lord and ask him to make the decision. However, seeing that Qin Zhan had the intention to help Gu Feng, he immediately understood. Qin Zhan was protecting Gu Feng!
As the saying goes, a wise man knows what to do when the time is right. For him to be able to sit in the position of butler for so long, he knew how to read words.
Seeing that Gu Feng was decisive in killing, but did not seem to vent his anger on innocent people, Qin Zhan nodded his head in satisfaction.
He had to think of a way to keep Gu Feng here so that Gu Feng could become a great support for him. At that time, even if a Peak Martial Cultivator appeared in the Floating Cloud City, he would not be able to pose a threat to his position as the City Lord, or even divide up his Floating Cloud City.
At this time, all of the guests had also recovered from their shock and revealed smiles from the corners of their mouths.
Today, they had witnessed a legend, but they had also seen a joke. The Qin and the Chu and Qin Families were the two biggest forces with the largest Floating Cloud City. On the day of marriage, their bridegroom was killed. If word of this spread, it would be a huge joke.
Of course, they only smiled inwardly and didn't dare show it. In the past, there was still Chu Chengfaang who could stand up against Qin Zhan. Now that he was dead, who would dare to provoke him?
At this moment, Qin Zhan walked up to Qin Ling's side and whispered, "Ling'er, take Gu Feng back first. I'll take care of the aftermath here."
Qin Ling was slightly taken aback for a moment before she nodded her head.
Qin Ling knew her father very well. He wanted to personally invite Gu Feng to City Lord's Mansion so that he could bribe him.
And the farce today, needed to be resolved after that. More importantly, such a large Chu Family was a piece of fat meat. Now that Chu Chengfaang was dead, Qin Zhan naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and quickly swallow the piece of fat into his stomach.
However, Qin Ling was clear that Gu Feng needed to rest as well.
Therefore, Qin Ling quickly walked to Gu Feng's side, and said in a low voice: "Gu Feng, come with me to return to City Lord's Mansion, and recuperate well. With your current body condition, there will inevitably be people who attack you, and it won't be safe outside. "
Qin Ling's words were sincere without the slightest hint of falsehood.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Qin Ling, Gu Feng knew her better. She didn't have any opinions about him, but what was this City Lord planning?
Looking around, these people were all wealthy and vile. If they had any thoughts about him, with his current physical condition, he really wouldn't be able to deal with them. However, once they moved into the City Lord's Mansion, the situation would be different.
"Last time in the wilderness, I didn't even have the chance to repay the kindness you had shown me. I hope you can give me a chance to repay this debt of gratitude." Qin Ling saw that Gu Feng was indifferent, so she pleaded again.
Gu Feng nodded and said, "Thanks a lot."
Seeing that Gu Feng agreed, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Qin Ling's mouth.
"You can still walk, right?" Qin Ling asked.
Gu Feng nodded, indicating that there were no problems.
"Follow me." With that, Qin Ling led the way.
Gu Feng also lifted his feet and quickly followed.
Seeing Gu Feng leave with his daughter, Qin Zhan probably agreed. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Gu Feng is a plastic talent. Although he has a stubborn temper, I have been keeping him nourished, and from the looks of it, he seems to have some feelings for Ling'er. At that time, with this bargaining chip, wouldn't he obediently stay in my City Lord's Mansion forever?"
Thinking of this, Qin Zhan's mouth slightly curled up, showing that he was very proud of himself.
"This big gift from Chu Family, I really need to receive it properly. Once I hold this Chu Family in my hands, my City Lord's Mansion will definitely increase by a lot! " The more Qin Zhan thought about it, the more excited he became.
However, everything still had to be dealt with first.
"My friends, before this, we all knew that Chu Chengfaang was famous for his benevolence and righteousness in our Floating Cloud City, and it was because I valued this that I betrothed my daughter to his son. However, I never thought that he, a hypocrite, would actually do such a thing in secret.
Qin Zhan said with a heartbroken look.
All the guests present watched, listened, and at the same time, they were very clear in their hearts that Qin Zhan was starting to deny their relationship with Chu Family.
"Not only does he view people as animals, he also commits a heinous crime of robbing Natural Spiritual Root. Today, I will convict him in the name of the city lord of Floating Cloud City. And how can the son of such a notorious man be my son-in-law? Fortunately, everything was stopped by Gu Feng, and since they did not go to pay their respects, they are not considered to be married. Thus, my marriage between City Lord's Mansion and City Lord's Mansion is annulled! "
Qin Zhan said loudly and his gaze swept across everyone's face.
Those guests also understood the logic and immediately nodded their heads in agreement.
"Today, let's forget about everything else. I hope everyone doesn't take it to heart and return." The corner of Qin Zhan's mouth slightly curled up.
Hearing Qin Zhan's words, those local tyrants and evil gentry all scolded Qin Zhan for being despicable. Chu Chengfaang had just died and wanted to occupy Chu Family's property. Originally, they wanted to get a share of the spoils, but Qin Zhan had already made everything clear, and they did not even need to think about it anymore.
Thus, they could only tactfully take their leave.
After sending all the guests away, Qin Zhan walked toward the Chu Family's butler with a smile.
Just as he stepped out of the Chu Family gate, a gust of cold wind blew and Gu Feng instantly became much more clear-headed, and his eyes also recovered their clarity.
However, at this moment, pain came from all over his body, causing him unbearable pain. He did not even have the strength to move a single step. He directly fell to the ground and fainted.
When Qin Ling heard the sound of falling onto the ground, she immediately turned around and saw that even though Gu Feng had fainted, his body was twitching in pain and his face was contorted.
"Sigh …" What a suicidal lunatic. However, because of this, he was the one who laughed the last time. " A trace of a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Qin Ling's mouth. She carried Gu Feng and walked towards her bridal sedan.
Looking at the bridal sedan, Qin Ling's self-deprecating smile became even wider.
This marriage was simply a farce!
However, the result of this farce was what Qin Ling wanted. She didn't marry Chu Zhen, the person she didn't like.
And all of this was because of the youth in his arms.
After getting on the bridal sedan chair, Qin Ling also entered into deep thought. Because of Gu Feng's performance today, she had some doubts about a part of her life.
