Chapter 568 - Kneel and Kowtow, Then You Can Leave

Gu Han understood the Emotionless Sect’s usual tricks better than anyone. He had long known Ding Lan’s true nature. No matter how great her acting was, she couldn’t fool him. But he had never seen Leng Yushu before and didn’t understand her. So he had no way to judge whether her words were true or false.

If they were true, then Leng Yushu was just like Mo Chenyin—a victim. If they were false, then Leng Yushu’s scheming ran far deeper than he had imagined.

Off to the side, Ge Xu’s face was ashen. His mind was filled with Leng Yushu’s final words. She hates me!

His burning heart instantly froze over, shattering into pieces. Suddenly, his gaze landed on Gu Han again, and a chilling intent surged in his eyes. It’s all because of you!

He took a deep breath and looked at Gu Han coldly. “I already gave you a chance, but you couldn’t grasp it, so you can’t blame me!”

Leng Yushu’s brow furrowed slightly. She found him even more annoying and even stepped away from him. “Oh, come on! What’s wrong with you?! You just won’t let him go! You’re really too much!”

Every word was like a knife that stabbed Ge Xu’s already shattered heart into a thousand pieces. His eyes reddened as he forced down the heart-wrenching pain and said hatefully, “This has nothing to do with you anymore. I won’t buy his dog either! He just said that the Tiannan Realm is full of clowns. I’m going to settle this score with him!”

Leng Yushu wanted to say more, but Ding Lan pulled her back. “Those words were quite inappropriate. Let him learn a lesson.”

Leng Yushu muttered, “What do you mean! What he said wasn’t wrong. They were the ones bullying people first—”

Gu Han asked, “Steward Xin, can we really not fight here?”

Steward Xin thought Gu Han was worried and quickly explained, “Honored guest, rest assured, rules are rules. In Lingyun City, especially inside this building, no one can break the rules!”

Gu Han felt some regret. “What a pity.”

Not only did Ge Xu appear to be a first- or second-stage Feather Transformation cultivator, but he also seemed like a noble young master with no combat experience. Of course, Gu Han didn’t take him seriously.

Chongming also shook his head. “What a pity.”

Xiao Hei barked in dissatisfaction. “Woof!”

What a pity!

Steward Xin’s eyelid twitched as he thought their reactions were off. After thinking for a moment, he still secretly explained Ge Xu’s background to Gu Han.

In the Tiannan Realm, aside from the Emotionless Sect, there were five first-rate forces: the Profound Sword Sect, the Lingyun Merchant Association, the Ancient Ge Family, the Yuanmo Hall, and the Feiyuan Sect. All of them had Freedom realm cultivators presiding over them.

Among them, the Lingyun Merchant Association stood aloof, emphasizing harmony and wealth. In contrast, the Profound Sword Sect was almost entirely made up of madmen. They drew their swords and cut people down at the slightest disagreement. The sect master, as a sword cultivator, was the strongest among the five Freedom realm cultivators.

Furthermore, the Yuanmo Hall was far in the extreme north and rarely showed itself. The Ge Clan and Feiyuan Sect had a lot of disciples and members, far exceeding the Profound Sword Sect. They were extremely prosperous. Ge Xu happened to be the youngest son of the Ge family head.

At this moment, the young man and the middle-aged man were also whispering in front of Ge Xu, adding fuel to the fire as they recounted what had happened earlier.

Ge Xu sneered endlessly. “So that’s how it is. Just a silver token, and already so cocky! Who gave you the courage to say such things and use a dog to humiliate them?!”

The two men wore expressions of gratitude.

Gu Han said helplessly, “Look at that. When you bully people, it’s justified, it’s natural, and no one even farts. When it’s my turn, it’s arrogance and insolence! This is why I don’t like reasoning with you people. I prefer a more direct approach.”

Leng Yushu asked curiously. “What do you mean by that?”

Gu Han glanced at her. “Cut them all down!”

Steward Xin trembled.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yushu actually thought about it for a moment and nodded. “That makes sense. You’re right. They bully you, but they won’t allow you to bully them. That’s very unfair.”

Gu Han ignored her as he was very neutral toward this woman. After all, the matter with Mo Chenyin had nothing to do with her. But as for good feelings, he had none at all.

Ge Xu’s dislike for Gu Han instantly rose to another level. “I’ll let you know what happens when you don’t know when to restrain yourself! Steward Yu, bring the token out!”

Steward Xin’s expression changed slightly.

Steward Yu smiled faintly and raised his hand. “Yes!”

A token instantly appeared in everyone’s sight, glittering with gold and extremely dazzling.

“Young Master Ge, whatever orders you have, just say them!”

Gold?

Gu Han was stunned, but he vaguely felt that Steward Xin’s expression was off. “A gold token, very high-grade?”

He guessed that it was related to the gold token privileges Mo Xun had mentioned earlier.

The young man sneered. “See? I knew it! You’ve never seen the world! You don’t even know the use of a gold token! I really don’t know what dog shit luck you had to gather so many resources just to exchange for a silver token!”

Steward Yu smiled at Gu Han. “Those who hold a gold token can use part of the Lingyun Merchant Association’s authority to do some not-too-excessive things. For example... kicking an honored guest out of Lingyun City, or restricting them from entering the city for a certain period.”

Mo Xun instantly turned pale. Without the rules of Lingyun City to restrain them, one could only imagine the consequences of facing a first-rate force alone outside. Ding Lan had also already explained the function of the gold token to Leng Yushu.

Leng Yushu’s mouth opened slightly, greatly surprised. “Ah? Senior Sister, then our token...”

Ding Lan smiled proudly. “Ours? There’s only one in the Tiannan Realm. Of course, its authority is higher.”

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yushu suddenly looked at Gu Han. “Do you need help? I can—”

Gu Han shot back, “It’s none of your business!”

Leng Yushu nodded aggrievedly.

Ding Lan’s face turned cold. “What did you say?! How dare you dare yell at her—”

Leng Yushu’s tears swirled in her eyes as she said cautiously, “Never mind, it’s okay. He probably just doesn’t want to implicate me...”

Gu Han suspected she was fanning the flames, but looking at her reaction, it didn’t seem like it.

Ge Xu wished he could cut Gu Han into ten thousand pieces. How dare you make her sad! Go to hell!

He then looked at Mo Xun, who was trembling and whose legs were shaking, and said with slight mockery, “I heard you’re protecting this fool? Look at him, scared witless. Does he even deserve a green token? Kneel! Kowtow! And get out! Then I swear on the Ge Clan’s honor that I can pretend you never appeared, and he will have nothing to do with you!”

Everyone’s eyes gathered on Mo Xun. Needless to say, if he knelt, everything Gu Han had said and done before would become a complete joke.

Upon seeing Mo Xun’s legs trembling, Chongming was a bit dissatisfied. “Kid, just relax—”

Gu Han interjected, “Master Rooster, it’s okay. Let him choose for himself.”

Should I kneel? It became a heavy stone hanging over Mo Xun’s heart.
