Chapter 1063.1: Do Not Kill Indiscriminately Over Trivial Matters - Part 1

Hearing the last sentence of the young man in black, Gu Shaofeng finally came back to his senses, first he was stunned, then he quickly figured something out.

The young man in black before him was the young martial artist he had mentioned earlier!

Thinking of this, Gu Shaofeng stared at Chen Chao before him, raising his voice, he said word by word, “Lord Warden Commander, even if your cultivation has reached the pinnacle, and your position and power are high, even if I had some thoughts about Fellow Daoist Liang, none of this should be enough to make my father die, right? Could it be that the Great Liang Dynasty now, and the Lord Warden Commander now, no longer care about reason either?!"

As Gu Shaofeng’s voice grew louder, the common people who had already been secretly watching the excitement from not far away naturally became interested, Liang Jinjin and the others also came back to their senses, Liang Jinjin glanced at Chen Chao, thought for a moment, and was about to speak, but at this moment, she saw Chen Chao slightly shake his head.

Since that was the case, she also closed her mouth, while firmly holding onto Liu Yefu, afraid that this junior sister of hers would say something she should not.

However, she had actually been worrying too much, at this moment Liu Yefu’s mind was entirely on Chen Chao, after learning that the young man in black before her was that Lord Warden Commander, how could she have any other thoughts, she only knew to look him over.

“This ‘either’ is quite well said, how about it, in the past, outside my Great Liang, apart from me, Chen Chao, did everyone not really care about reason?”

Chen Chao looked at Gu Shaofeng with a smile, “That doesn’t seem right either, has this official's reputation in the foreign lands not always been that of a murderous demon? Do you really also think that this official is someone who cares about reason?”

Gu Shaofeng had originally wanted to use reason to pressure Chen Chao, but with Chen Chao putting it this way, he was instead somewhat caught offguard. However, he still quickly said, “Lord Warden Commander represents the entire Great Liang Dynasty, I'm afraid you should still care somewhat about reason.”

Chen Chao smiled, looking at Gu Shaofeng before him, a trace of coldness flashed across the eyes of this young young Lord Warden Commander, “Young Mountain Lord Gu’s father is already dead, yet you can still remain this calm, you really are not an ordinary person.”

At a time like this, no one would believe that this sentence had been said unintentionally.

But no matter how obvious the provocation was, the Gu Shaofeng before him probably still did not dare to act like he had earlier when dealing with Liang Jinjin and that group of people.

This was what it meant for the circumstances to be different.

Gu Shaofeng gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, but he was also enduring it.

Chen Chao did not care, he shook his head and said, “You think this official went through all this trouble and went to Luoshui Mountain just because of the trivial matter in front of you, and even took your father’s head off?”

Gu Shaofeng was stunned.

“You think you, Gu Shaofeng, are some remarkable figure, capable of making this official give you a few extra glances, and specially travel thousands of miles back from the Northern Frontier to come looking for trouble with you?”

Chen Chao sneered, “Even if that is really what you think, at this moment you should also think about whether you are worthy.”

“Then... Lord Warden Commander, why is that?”

Gu Shaofeng looked at Chen Chao with a puzzled expression, as though he truly knew nothing. But at this moment, in Chen Chao’s eyes, he was actually nothing more than a clown.

In terms of depth of scheming and cunning, there were not many people in this world who could contend with him.

Judging only from Gu Shaofeng’s current performance, it was extremely abnormal.

“Does Young Mountain Lord Gu mean to say that you know nothing at all about the shit Luoshui Mountain has done, and that you also know nothing at all about the things that Mountain Lord Gu did?”

Chen Chao looked at him with interest, the emotions in his eyes dark and unclear.

Gu Shaofeng looked utterly bewildered, “My father has always acted alone and would never discuss things with me, if he truly did something rebellious and outrageous, I would not know about it either...”

Chen Chao waved his hand, too lazy to listen to this fellow’s excuses, and instead beckoned, “Old Song, take this fellow over and question him properly, if Young Mountain Lord Gu really is innocent, bring him over, and this official will apologize to him.”

The one who had previously brought over the head of the Mountain Lord of Luoshui Mountain was none other than the current Divine Capital Warden Commander, Song Lian, whose official position was above that of the two Commanders on the left and right.

It could be said that within the warden faction, only Chen Chao was Song Lian’s direct superior.

Truly, above all and below only one man.

Song Lian nodded, unlike Chen Chao, this Divine Capital Warden Commander had a solemn expression, earlier he had directly punched that Mountain Lord of Luoshui Mountain to death. Now, facing Gu Shaofeng, he did not even need to throw a punch.

Chen Chao walked forward a few steps, then turned his head and instructed, “Old Song, don’t be so prudish, if this Young Mountain Lord refuses to tell the truth, breaking both arms, three legs or something like that, is all fine.”

Song Lian nodded, saying nothing.

Instead, a head popped out from the long street nearby, smiling as he said, “Lord Warden Commander, rest assured, if Commander Song can’t pry his mouth open, let me give it a try, I don’t believe that even if I pry his mouth open and pour shit into it, he still won’t tell the truth!”

The person speaking was precisely Weng Quan, on this trip south, although Chen Chao had not entered the Divine Capital, he had already notified Song Lian, and had not traveled south alone.

Chen Chao was somewhat helpless, and merely waved his hand, indicating for this fellow to hurry up and leave.

It would have been fine if he had not spoken, but as soon as he spoke, Chen Chao was also reminded of that manure cart.

At the thought of this, Chen Chao even felt that there was an indescribable smell in the air.

The two took Gu Shaofeng away, as for those few cultivators hiding in the surrounding shadows, they had long since been dealt with by the martial officials of the Warden's Office, so at this moment, there was not the slightest bit of danger left on the long street.

Of course, from the moment Chen Chao appeared, all the danger had already ceased to exist.

Chen Chao glanced at Liang Jinjin, the latter met Chen Chao’s gaze, then quickly moved her eyes away, as though she did not quite dare to look at him. As for Liu Yefu, she looked at Chen Chao with a face full of excitement and shouted, “Lord Warden Commander, Lord Warden Commander!”

Chen Chao glanced at her, Liu Yefu’s face was full of excitement, but at this moment, apart from excitement, there was still excitement. Actually, she did not know what she should say either.

It was the Pinecreek Mountain woman beside them who had good sense. After exchanging a glance, the two of them supported this junior sister and left, leaving this place to Chen Chao and Liang Jinjin.

After everyone had left, only this pair of man and woman remained.

Liang Jinjin kept silent, and only then did Chen Chao smile, “Long time no see.”

Liang Jinjin looked toward Chen Chao, but seemed to want to speak and then stopped.

She looked at the young man before her, seeming very familiar, yet also seeming very unfamiliar. What was familiar was that his appearance and bearing had not changed much, but what was unfamiliar was the way he had stepped on that human head earlier, which made him seem very unfamiliar.
