I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 339

339 The Head of the Four Gentlemen of Jiangbei
Gu Qingyue?

Wu Qingce raised an eyebrow upon hearing this name. He had heard this name quite a few times during the past few months of operations.

In the beginning, Wu Qingce had an impression of him because his name was very similar to Junior Brother Qing Huan’s.

Later, he heard about the deeds of the Cloud Scouring Heroes from the disciples of the various sects.

He was chivalrous and righteous, fighting injustice.

!!
Every time he encountered a sect member who bullied the common people, Gu Qingyue would act righteously. However, as his senior brother had said, the world could not be changed by one or two people. Although he admired Gu Qingyue’s behavior, he did not think that he could really change anything, because the person who could really change the world…

Only Senior Brother!

Xu Hongsheng put down his wine cup and said to Wu Qingce,””Nephew, this old master will go and settle some small matters. You can eat and drink here first.”

“Sect Master Xu, may I go with you?” Wu Qingce put down his wine cup.”

Although he didn’t think Gu Qingyue could change anything, it didn’t affect Wu Qingce’s admiration for him. So, he still wanted to help if he could.

Xu Hongsheng was stunned at first, but he quickly smiled and said,”Since Nephew is interested, let’s go together.”

They came to the side hall together. Xu Hongsheng sat in the host’s seat, while Wu Qingce was arranged to sit in the main seat.

“Bring him up.” Xu Hongwei supported his head with his right hand and said casually.

“Yes.” The disciple turned around and left after receiving the order.

After a while, two young men in plain green robes were brought into the side hall.

“Junior Gu Qingyue (Zhou Guican) greets Sect Master Xu.”

” Why are you here?!”

The moment Zhou Guican raised his head, he and Wu Qingce shouted at the same time.

“Oh? Are you an acquaintance of my nephew?” Xu Hongsheng asked Wu Qingce curiously.

Wu Qingce cupped his hands at Xu Hongsheng and replied,””Reporting to sect leader Xu, this junior does have some friendship with this person.”

Wu Qingce then looked back at Zhou Guican. Their eyes sparkled as they met.

Zhou Guican couldn’t help but recall the youth tournament in Jiangbei District. His opponent in the finals was Wu Qingce, and in the end, he lost to Wu Qingce by a single move. His heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Later, the more Zhou Guican thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She planned to go to the Heart Returning Sect alone to challenge Wu Qingce again without telling her master, but she met Gu Qingyue in Luoxia Town. The two of them regretted not meeting each other earlier and became sworn brothers. Unknowingly, they forgot about fighting Wu Qingce again.

He did not expect that after so much time had passed, the two of them would meet again under such circumstances.

“So you’re my nephew’s friend. That’s good. For my nephew’s sake, I’ll listen to what you have to say today.”

Zhou Guican felt a little weird that he owed Wu Qingce a favor, but he was not going to naively reject the favor. He cupped his hands and said,””Thank you, Sect Leader Xu.”

Then, he cupped his hands at Wu Qingce and said,””Brother Wu, thank you. I owe you a favor.”

Wu Qingce was a little surprised to see Zhou Guican cupping his hands at him. In his memory, Zhou Guican was so arrogant when they first met that he wanted to look at him with his nose, but now…He was actually so humble.

‘This year…He has changed a lot.

On the other side, Li Fucheng heard Zhou Guican’s soft reminder and found out that he was the legendary [Yama’s Dart] and [Thunder Spirit Son] Wu Qingce.

The most popular young disciple in Feng Province in the past six months was undoubtedly Wu Qingce.

He had won the title of the most valuable martial arts champion in the heroes gathering that gathered all the talented disciples of the demonic sect and the righteous sect.

During the battle at Anjing Harbor, when the Golden Rainbow Sect disciples were in a desperate situation, he had killed a Great Mystic Adept enemy leader with his cultivation base of a Mystic Adept.

After this battle, he was crowned as the leader of the Four Gentlemen of Jiangbei by the disciples of Jiangbei District.

Some time ago, he had even heard that he single-handedly defeated dozens of Aurora Sect disciples under [Yin Wind Sword] Ji Luo. One had to know that Ji Luo’s cultivation had already reached level five great mystic cultivator. Before the rebellion, he was extremely famous in the Jiangnan District and was one of the representatives of the current generation of powerful disciples.
Yet, such a genius was defeated by a Mystique Adept Wu Qingce. This news quickly spread throughout the entire Feng Province, and the scene of Wu Qingce summoning lightning to kill Ji Luo in that battle earned him the title of [Lightning Spirit Child].

Gui Can actually knows him? I’ve never heard him mention it.

Putting away his surprise and doubt, Li Fucheng cupped his hands at Wu Qingce to express his gratitude.

After thanking Wu Qingce, Li Fucheng looked at Xu Hongsheng again and said,”Sect Master Xu, this junior is here for Heng Mingyuan. I hope you can let him go.”

Then, he took out an Interspatial Ring and presented it to her.”These are the resources he destroyed and the compensation. I hope sect master Xu can…Open the net.”

After saying this, Li Fucheng felt a sense of relief.

After meeting Brother Wang, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was unreasonable. Actually, the risk was too high. It was the excuse he gave himself. The most important reason was that he refused to lower his head.

The reason why he went to find Big Brother Wang was because he believed that Big Brother Wang would definitely be able to help him think of the easiest way to solve this matter.

However, the words ” I’m very disappointed in you ” made him understand that he was too dependent on Big Brother Wang. How could he help Big Brother Wang in the future? He was just a piece of trash waiting to be fed.
