C2507 Gu Yuan's Unwillingness
After Gu Yuan left, Jiang Ting sat at the counter and carefully thought about the possibility of becoming an assassin. However, after carefully thinking about the pros and cons, he found that the possibility was extremely low, because the cost and harvest were hard to determine.
Killing those in the Rule Force Realm, the Green Spirit Stone reward he obtained might very well not be enough for him to pay. And killing those in the third level of Mortal Strength... Most likely, no one would use the green Spirit Stone as a remuneration.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting felt a slight headache... It was not easy to find a feasible method, but he discovered that it was not very useful.
"Forget it."
With a sigh, Jiang Ting shook his head and thought. "Let's wait for the green Spirit Stones from Gu Yuan's side to arrive first. Then, we'll find an assassin organization and join them. If we don't act against those in the Rule Force, we'll slowly wait for the list of those in the third level of the Mortal Force. There's an additional path left and right. It can't be wasted."
As for whether Gu Yuan would receive the green Spirit Stones or not, Jiang Ting was not worried at all. ... He believed that Gu Yuan was not an idiot. If he really was an idiot, then he would just kill Gu Yuan. It wouldn't be troublesome at all.
Half a breath later.
Jiang Ting suddenly raised his head and looked outside the grocery store. He saw the roof of a shop that was also selling groceries.
There was nothing there, only the roof of a brick house.
After staring for half a breath, Jiang Ting frowned slightly. "Am I seeing things?"
He felt like there was a prying eye there, but when he looked carefully, he did not find anything. He did not sense anything. ... It was just that as a Godly Monarch, he didn't believe in the word 'misconception' for a long time.
Who could it be?
...
The grocery store, across the street, on the roof.
An invisible ripple appeared and moved to the top of Jiang Ting's Sundry Goods Store.
The ripple dispersed, revealing a skinny young man with a feminine face. However, what was surprising was that because of the end of the killing incident, there were many people passing by outside the street. In the end, it was as if no one had seen him.
Was it because of the seal or because no one was paying attention to him?
After the young man appeared, he looked at the tiles under his feet and narrowed his eyes. "To be able to notice my gaze, it is quite extraordinary..."
Very quickly, he cast his gaze onto the street... The street was still stained with blood. Corpses lay scattered all over the ground, and blood continued to spread.
However, what he was looking at was not the corpses, but Gu Yuan who had yet to leave the street.
After pondering for a while, the youth shook his head and disappeared again. No one knew what he was trying to do.
...
About ten breaths later.
Jiang Ting walked out of the counter and returned to the door, but he didn't look at the other side. Instead, he looked at the sky. He saw that the invisible seal had begun to fade.
The man in black had set up a seal to prevent any problems when he was trying to kill Jiang Ting. But now, the seal was about to disappear.
Disappear on its own? It shouldn't be.
"Crack..." The sound of glass breaking suddenly sounded. At the same time, Jiang Ting also saw countless cracks appearing in the sky.
It wasn't space shattering. It was the invisible seal that was about to be broken.
Half a breath later.
The seal turned into fragments that filled the sky and dissipated. Then, ten people wearing black armor directly jumped onto the street.
This was not the wilderness, this was Silver City... The city had its own City Lord's Mansion in charge of order.
The black armor was the standard equipment for the soldiers and guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
When the soldiers saw the many corpses, their eyes darkened at the same time. Then, they started to organize the streets in a practiced manner. In less than half a breath's time, the blood, the smell of blood, and the corpse capital disappeared.
The streets were once again clean and tidy.
After that, the soldiers didn't ask anything and simply left. They weren't blind, and Gu Yuan was only able to leave the street after the seal was broken.
No matter who wanted to kill Gu Yuan in the end, it didn't matter. Gu Yuan was a disciple of a clan, and as members of the City Lord's Mansion, they wouldn't interfere, and it was merely a dispute between clans.
As long as these conflicts didn't affect the stability of the city, these families wouldn't even bother about the life and death of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Tsk tsk, you are really heartless! Even the capital of the dead can't be left alive." Jiang Ting shook his head and returned to the shop. A dark cloud quietly appeared in his mind.
Someone was spying on him, but he could not find it. It seemed that Silver City did not have any Regulations Realm. It was just that he could not discover it.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. With his current physical condition, unless he disregarded his body and forcefully unleashed his divine sense to investigate, how could he possibly sense the location of the Regulations?
...
In the depths of the Gu family, in a garden.
In the depths of the garden was a vast lotus pond.
An old man with bright eyes was quietly standing at the edge of the lotus pond. He was lying on the railing and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lotus flower. Even though his hair was white, it was difficult to conceal his old and strong bearing.
If there were any disciples of the Gu family here, they would definitely know. This was the Gu family's Fourth Elder, Gu Gao, who held great power over the Gu family.
As for the head of the Gu family... well, the head of the Gu family was actually just a situation. He was in charge of household affairs and did not have any real power.
Who knew how long it would take.
Gu Gao suddenly turned his head and his eyes revealed a hint of gloominess. "Who did such a serious injury?"
"Grandfather." With a slightly hoarse voice, Gu Yuan quickly approached the lotus pond.
Jiang Ting's guess was right. Gu Yuan was a genius disciple of the Gu family. Naturally, he had the upper echelon of the Gu family behind him. His reliance was Gu Gao, the Fourth Elder of the Gu family.
As for Gu Yuan's father... It was fine not to mention him. He was just a nobody waiting to die.
Gu Gao did not respond. He just looked at Gu Yuan quietly. ... He was waiting for an answer.
Gu Yuan exhaled slightly and then said softly, "Today, someone is trying to kill..."
Very quickly, the assassination attempt at the entrance of the grocery store was described by Gu Yuan. Of course, in Gu Yuan's narration, he was not in such a sorry state. He had many embellishments for himself. Apart from this, he could also be considered to have described everything that had happened before and after.
In particular, the Green Spirit Stone that Jiang Ting requested.
Gu Gao's eyes were even more sinister. When a person lived for a long time, he usually had many thoughts. He did not know the situation of fighting, but as Gu Yuan's grandfather, he naturally knew Gu Yuan's character.
He didn't want to think about how much of it. He was only thinking about a single problem. With a single sword strike, he killed Jiang Ting, who was at the third level of Mortal-Force.
After pondering for a long time, Gu Gao finally said, "What do you think?"
He had already made up his mind. However, Gu Yuan was his grandson after all. Furthermore, he was a genius disciple of the Gu family. He naturally had to nurture Gu Yuan well.
After all, the third level of Mortal Strength was practically the peak of Silver Light City. This grandson of his was only one level away... Perhaps he would break through in the next moment. Perhaps he would never be able to break through. Who knew?
Looking at Gu Yuan again, he hesitated for a moment before slowly clenching his fists. "Grandfather, little grandson knows the preciousness of the Green Spirit Stone. Previously, little grandson had originally planned to borrow the manager's strength to temporarily delay until the people of City Lord's Mansion appear. At that time, there would be many paths of retreat and choices. It is just that he did not expect that he would actually be able to directly pacify the battle with a single sword strike."1
Without waiting for a reply, Gu Yuan revealed a bit of difficulty. "I don't know such a person. ..." "
