Chapter 1856 - 1450: You Dare Covet What’s Already on My Plate? (Part 2)

But, he just shouted this, and before he could make a move, Gu Changsheng swept a cold glance over, "If you don’t want to become the fish and meat in their eyes, it’s best to have your Young Master stay by our side!"

Glancing at the two stout guards, Gu Changsheng spoke nonchalantly.

But, those two stout guards suddenly understood!

They looked around, and took a step back, almost imperceptibly!

The identity of their Young Master had already been exposed, and among these people, it became dangerous!

Among the people present, the only one who could deter the crowd was this woman. If they wanted to retreat safely, staying by this woman’s side was the best choice.

However, they didn’t understand why this woman was willing to help!

Although the woman always had a nonchalant smile on her face, her body radiated an aura that warned strangers to keep away. She was clearly not someone easy to get along with, nor someone likely to be overtaken by kindness!

"It was your people who exposed the Young Master’s identity, and it’s also you who helped. What are you really aiming for?" The guard wasn’t stupid. Even though he reluctantly took a step back and accepted that his master was being protected by Gu Changsheng, he still voiced his doubts.

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, glanced at the two guards and sneered, speaking softly, "If it weren’t for your Young Master’s familiarity and lack of awareness, always sticking close to me, would my evildoer be jealous enough to expose his identity? Besides, his identity is right there; whether my evildoer exposes it or not, this established fact won’t change! Don’t make it sound so grand. I’ll offer you protection, whether you want it or not, you must accept this favor!"

Dammit, there’s no negotiating this!

She inexplicably accepted a favor from the Nomadic tribe, so it’s not logical to help bind Qiwowen Du without gaining at least a favor!

Gu Changsheng has never dealt in losing trades!

Don’t think she didn’t catch the meaning in the guard’s words!

Upon hearing this, the guard’s face turned alternating shades of blue and white, and he couldn’t manage a single word for a long time!

The other guard, with a sullen face, asked, "Even if we accept this favor, what is your aim? If you seek wealth, we will naturally recompense with ten thousand gold!"

Knowing their Young Master’s identity, everyone was watching covetously, which was an undeniable fact. Only this woman who could deter the entire scene could help them, so they really had no choice but to accept this favor!

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, rolled her eyes at them and glanced at Qiwowen Du, who was pitifully squatting by the fire learning to keep it lit with Yuan Bao, her mouth twitched, speaking with a bit of gnashing teeth, "Just ten thousand gold to dismiss me? Making it seem like I’m greedy for wealth!"

In reality, she indeed loved wealth very much, but...

She didn’t want to lose seventy to eighty members of her Female Army to become Qiwowen Du’s wives!

"You still find ten thousand gold insufficient?" The guard widened his eyes, "You’re being excessively greedy!"

"I was just scared by your Young Master’s excessive greed!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes at them, and with a look of disdain, waved them away, "After all, what kind of master creates what kind of servant, you’re all really chatty! Go stay over there, stop annoying me!"

The two stout guards exchanged glances, although reluctant, they still stepped aside, staying at an appropriate distance to guard near Qiwowen Du.

Gu Changsheng tilted her head, looking at Qiwowen Du stoking the fire, her brows furrowed, feeling a bit of lament, she couldn’t help but mutter softly, "Having not owed a favor for a long time, owing one occasionally indeed feels quite burdensome!"

Hearing Gu Changsheng’s murmur, the two guards couldn’t help but look at Gu Changsheng with skepticism.

Seeing them look, Gu Changsheng immediately glared at them.

That gaze carried a sense of authority without anger, instantly scaring those two guards into withdrawing their gazes, not daring to look further.

Gu Changsheng was satisfied only then, turning around to see Diluo Han and others still unwillingly sneaking glances at Qiwowen Du!

In their eyes, the Young Master of the Nomadic tribe was a gold mountain. If they could catch him, why would they need to venture into the Star Innate Tower? Riches and glory would be easy to grasp!

But, this Qiwowen Du actually ran into Gu Changsheng’s camp, even though they didn’t know who Gu Changsheng was, they were already intimidated by her skills!

This woman was truly not easy to deal with, not a good person!

To wrest meat from her mouth, they would have to weigh the risks...

"Look? What are you looking at? You dare covet what belongs to me?" With a flick of her long sleeve, Gu Changsheng glared frostily at those eyeing Qiwowen Du, her gaze filled with warnings.

Everyone, "..."

The fleeting hope they held just a moment ago was now completely gone!

The prey!

This woman clearly decided to capture Qiwowen Du!

Alas!

Glory and wealth are like clouds, just flying away before their eyes. Those who climbed the tower with Qiwowen Du earlier almost regretted until their guts turned green; how did they not know Qiwowen Du’s identity earlier?

If they had known earlier, would Gu Changsheng have still seized the opportunity?

The Nomadic tribe’s Young Master, who isn’t good at tending fire, had his face blackened further by smoke and flames. Hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, he immediately stumbled, almost hitting his forehead in the fire. Thanks to Yuan Bao’s quick reflexes, he barely escaped that fate. Turning back, he looked at Gu Changsheng with a very peculiar gaze...
