Killing God - Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Entanglement
Since the thin black man surnamed Jiang had gone, the atmosphere in the room instantly eased. The surrounding people stood either far or near, occasionally glancing over, and vague whispers rose and fell one after another.

Shen Shi glanced around, only to see that apart from Chen Li of the Divine Immortal Society and a few of his subordinates following him out of the door, no one else had the intention of coming over. Beside him, Ling Chunni, who was already in a miserable state, was still lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly, as if he hadn’t recovered from the nightmare just now.

Shen Shi remained silent for a moment, then turned around and squatted down beside Ling Chunni, asking in a low voice, “Are you alright?”

Ling Chunni took a deep breath. His face was pale and he struggled to sit upright. His originally meticulous hair fell down powerlessly. The bloodstains at the corner of his mouth looked even more dazzling and desolate. It was completely different from the beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a spring flower not long ago. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at Shen Shi, and whispered, “I… I’m fine.”

The voice seemed to tremble, and it contained countless grievances and shame, especially in the eyes of the people in the surroundings who were ridiculing, contemptuous, or mocking.

Shen Shi nodded. He hesitated for a moment. He was furious just now. He didn’t think too much about it and stood up to stop the brutality of the thin man. However, looking at Ling Chunnie’s appearance, he didn’t know what to do. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching him. He looked up and saw Gu Lingyun walking over.

At this moment, Gu Lingyun’s expression was calm, but she no longer had the gentle smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze. She looked at Ling Chunni who was still sitting on the ground and asked Shen Shi,

“Do you know her?”

Shen Shi stood up and frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I saw her once a few months ago. I have met her once, but I’m not too familiar with her.”

Gu Lingyun raised her eyebrows slightly. A strange light flashed across her bright eyes. She shook her head as if she was sighing. “So you came out for this little bit of friendship? Looks like I really didn’t see through you before.”

Shen Shi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but no wonder Gu Lingyun said these words. To rashly shoulder a Sect Leader cultivator who did not know what sect she was for a woman who did not have much friendship with him, this kind of thing was really not something an ordinary person would do casually. However, after recalling his previous mood, Shen Shi realized that he did not seem to have much regret. He spread out his hands slightly and said to Gu Lingyun, “I was rash. If I caused Aunt Gu any trouble, please forgive me.”

Gu Lingyun smiled faintly and waved her hand slightly. “However, it’s just trivial matters that aren’t on the stage. It can’t be considered troublesome. It’s just that this woman is Jiang Shaoyuan’s female companion. Now that he’s gone, if no one guarantees, this place is still a private gathering place. She can’t stay here.”

Shen Shi nodded. There was no objection to this. Originally, this was the place where the Divine Immortal Association invited some distinguished guests to come to the auction. Some of the rules were normal. He thought for a moment, then turned to Ling Chunni, who had already struggled to stand up, and said,

“What do you think?”

Ling Chunni forced a smile. Before she could say anything, she felt a lot of contemptuous gazes sweeping across her surroundings. It was as if her heart was twitching again, and a powerless sense of humiliation surged into her heart.

So it’s been so long, but I still haven’t gotten used to it?

It turned out that under the charming and beautiful scenery, what was hidden was still the lowliness, never to turn over.

She lowered her head and whispered, “I’d better go.”

Shen Shi nodded without any objection. Originally, he did not have a deep friendship with Ling Chunni. After saving her just now, he had done his utmost. As for what else he needed to do, there was no need for him to do so. He turned around and looked at Gu Lingyun. Gu Lingyun nodded. Then, he waved his hand and a man under the Divine Immortal Society immediately came over. Gu Lingyun gave him a few orders in a low voice. The man nodded and agreed. Then, he walked to Ling Chunni’s side and took her out of the room.

Just as she was about to leave, Ling Chunnie suddenly turned around and saw that Shen Shi wasn’t looking at her, but was whispering something to Gu Lingyun.

Of all the people in the room, perhaps only this man’s gaze was calm and not filled with disgust and contempt.

She remained silent, only taking a deep look before lowering her head and walking out.

④

To the guests in this room, although the conflict earlier was shocking, everyone was someone with status and self-restraint. Even if Jiang Shaoyuan was the sect leader, it seemed that not many people in this room had any misgivings about him. Not long after this matter had subsided, the room quickly regained its calm.

Everyone chatted and looked at the spirit materials. The atmosphere was peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

In a corner of the room, Gu Lingyun was still talking to Shen Shi and said, “Do you really not have any friendship with that woman?”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and nodded, “Indeed not.”

Gu Lingyun looked him up and down and smiled, “Then did you like her beauty?”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before he immediately shook his head and said, “There is absolutely no such thing.”

Gu Lingyun nodded. However, her expression did not seem to be completely convinced. She said indifferently, “No, it’s good. Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and they are most easily bewitched by the outside world. Now that you are in a famous sect, you are not old enough to reach the Origin Condensation Realm. As long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, your path of cultivation will be broad and magnanimous.” There will be a long time to come, what can you not get? So it ‘s best to keep your body clean and love yourself. ”

Shen Shi was silent. In the past, Gu Lingyun had been on par with his father, Shen Tai. At this moment, he assumed a posture of being taught by an elder. He had nothing to say. He could only nod honestly and said, “Yes, I know.”

Gu Lingyun smiled faintly and said, “Alright, do you hear these words? Go and see those things. The auction will start in a while.”

Shen Shi agreed. He heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around, the two of them suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the room.

That voice wasn’t too loud, but it sounded very clear. It was as if a woman was arguing with someone. Almost everyone in this room had Dao Cultivation, and they could hear it clearly almost instantly.

That woman’s voice was Ling Chunni, who had not been out for long.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps paused. However, a trace of anger flashed across Gu Lingyun’s face. Although this matter was not big, it was rather shameful to her face. Therefore, his expression quickly turned cold. He didn’t even call anyone else and directly walked out of the room.

Shen Shi frowned and hesitated for a moment before finally following behind.

Outside the door was the courtyard, Several old trees stood tall, Ling Chunnie was standing not far from the entrance, while Chen Li, who had just sent Jiang Shaoyuan out, stood beside Ling Chunnie with a solemn and gloomy expression. He said something and tried to grab Ling Chunnie’s arm, as if he wanted to invite her out. Ling Chunnie, on the other hand, walked to the gate for some unknown reason. Suddenly, she hesitated, her face filled with fear. She was trying to distinguish Chen Li or plead for something, struggling to get out of the gate.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what had happened to Ling Chunni. Gu Lingyun’s face turned cold. He walked over and looked at everyone. Instantly, all the subordinates of the Divine Immortal Gathering, including Chen Li, were silent like cicadas.

“What’s going on?” Gu Lingyun asked coldly.

Chen Li secretly raised his eyes to look at the beautiful shopkeeper, but a bitter smile flashed across his face as he whispered, “Sect Leader Jiang is guarding the door. He has always refused to leave.”

Gu Lingyun and Shen Shi, who were standing at the side, were stunned when they heard this. He immediately understood, Gu Lingyun snorted coldly. He glanced out of the gate from afar. Sure enough, on the street outside the mansion, Jiang Shaoyuan was standing outside with an ugly face and a fierce expression. There were three or four men standing beside him. They seemed to be his disciples and subordinates, and they were also aggressive at this moment.

No wonder Ling Chunnie didn’t dare to go out. Once she walked out of the gate, it was obvious that she would be kidnapped immediately and would be worse off than dead.

Chen Li carefully looked at Gu Lingyun, lowered his voice, and whispered in a voice that only Gu Lingyun could hear, “Shopkeeper, do you want me to go out and drive these people away?”

Gu Lingyun snorted and said, “What are you rushing for? They are our guests no matter what, and they didn’t do anything wrong. However, is this blocking in broad daylight outside the main entrance of my Divine Immortal Gathering looking down on me, a girl like Gu Lingyun?”

Chen Li’s neck shrank and he didn’t dare to say a word. Gu Lingyun’s eyes flickered, but he fell silent for a moment. He didn’t say anything else immediately. A trace of thought flashed through his eyes, as if he had thought of something. After a while, he saw her slowly turn around. First, she looked at Ling Chunni, then her gaze fell on Shen Shi’s face.

Shen Shi watched this scene from beginning to end. Naturally, he understood what was happening outside the door. His heart was in turmoil. Seeing Gu Lingyun’s indifferent gaze looking at him, he smiled bitterly. But since he had already helped Ling Chunnie once, it seemed that he couldn’t just ignore her. Could it be that he really forced this weak woman out of the door and fall into the hands of those ferocious men again?

He sighed and said, “Aunt Gu, can I trouble you again?”

Gu Lingyun looked at him calmly, neither agreeing nor rejecting him. He only gave a faint “oh” with a hint of doubt.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before smiling bitterly, “When I owe you a favor, and when I’m on Golden Rainbow Mountain in the future, I’ll definitely spend an extra hour every day searching for the promise I promised you.”

The corner of Gu Lingyun’s mouth curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his face as he said, “Alright.”

As she spoke, she casually waved her hand, and Chen Li hurriedly walked over and said, “Shopkeeper, do you have any instructions?”

Gu Lingyun turned around and said at the same time, “Take them to the side door. Be careful of the surroundings. Don’t alarm the people outside. It’s a mess. I don’t know what’s going on. Remember not to invite these trash over next time.”

Chen Li nodded and said, “Yes, yes, this subordinate knows.”

Gu Lingyun nodded and floated away. Chen Li turned around and walked in front of Shen Shi and Ling Chunni. He looked at them expressionlessly and said, “Please follow me, both of you.”

Since the thin black man surnamed Jiang had gone, the atmosphere in the room instantly eased. The surrounding people stood either far or near, occasionally glancing over, and vague whispers rose and fell one after another.
