Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 406: This Weapon Protects Peace

“I heard that Mr. Yu easily subdued Jiujiang’s Gu Wen. Is he really that powerful?” The chief recalled how those people came back and said that Yu Xiangyang trampled on Gu Wen.

He had invited Gu Sheng in to ask about this matter.

Because there were too many people at that time, the chief was not sure if Hua Guangxuan and the other two helped them.

So when he heard Gu Sheng’s words, he instinctively asked.

His original intention was to know if Yu Xiangyang was really as scary as that person said. However, he never expected Gu Sheng to only shake his head slightly. “Yu Xiangyang? I admit that he is very powerful.”

“Then …” The chief opened his mouth.

However, Gu Sheng said, “But he wasn’t the one who did it that night! Do you know who it was? Miss Su, that Miss Su! You should have realized that the other three people respected Miss Su. Gu Shan also knows about this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”

“Wait, Gu Sheng, don’t joke with Grandpa at this time.” The chief trembled. He held Gu Sheng’s arms and spoke unsteadily.

Su Huiqing?

He vaguely remembered.

After all, he had heard Hua Guangxuan call her “sister-in-law” in a low voice so he took a few more glances at Su Huiqing.

However, Su Huiqing was the weakest of the four. When the other three people went up the mountain, they could still feel that they had the skills of the secular world. However, he really could not feel Su Huiqing at all.

“Grandpa, how could I joke with you?” Gu Sheng forced a smile. “Those people are not as simple as we think. More importantly, how could those people who have connections with Mr. Yu be ordinary people? It’s not like you haven’t heard of Mr. Yu. After all, we have always been isolated from the outside world and have limited knowledge.”

At this point, he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he decided not to tell Yu Xiangyang and the rest about the potions.

Even if he said it, the chief might not believe him, right?

Who would hold such a huge water bottle with potions?

Looking at Fu Meng that was becoming more and more authoritative by the day, every bottle of potion was treated like a treasure. Even if he really drank their potion, Gu Sheng still felt like he was dreaming.

“I … I will think about it again.” The chief fell onto the chair. Gu Sheng’s last sentence stunned him.

Gu Sheng looked at the chief, opened his mouth, and left.

…

Outside…

Not knowing where Yu Shijin went, Su Huiqing returned to her temporary room.

This was the chief’s house, and they all lived on the second floor.

Hua Guangxuan followed Yu Xiangyang and the rest in and saw Gu Li sitting at the table by the window. Su Huiqing was sitting on a stool not far away and playing with her phone. Gu Li was looking out the window while Qu Yan was leaning against the window and talking to Gu Li excitedly.

When they saw Yu Xiangyang, they insisted on bringing him over to compete with them.

“Sister-in-law, this friend of yours is very skilled.” Hua Guangxuan sat on Su Huiqing’s side and said excitedly to Su Huiqing, “You can’t even find many people in Old Yu’s army with such speed. Where did you find such a person?”

Of course, he was even more curious about how Su Huiqing knew Yu Xiangyang so well.

This was too strange.

Murong Bai looked at Su Huiqing with interest.

Su Huiqing placed her phone on the table and looked at the two of them. “You probably don’t know that I am a famous good-for-nothing in Green City. I even fought with him.”

“Pfft—” Hua Guangxuan was drinking tea when he heard that. He almost spat out his tea. He sized Su Huiqing up from head to toe, his face flashing with ‘how is she like a good-for-nothing?’

Yu Xiangyang, who was not far away, could not help but twitch his lips.

How was that a fight?!

It was clearly a one-sided massacre!

“Oh, right.” Su Huiqing suddenly recalled something and took out a dagger from her pocket. She handed it to Hua Guangxuan. “Thank you for your weapon. It’s very useful.”

Hua Guangxuan looked at the dagger and didn’t reach out to take it. He just waved his hand. “This thing isn’t mine either. It belongs to Murong. How can I ask for it back after giving it to you? This place isn’t safe. We don’t have to worry if you bring it with you.”

Murong Bai glanced at Hua Guangxuan, but he didn’t object. Instead, he nodded. “Initially, Old Hua gave you a high-level potion. I was thinking about what gift I could give you. It just so happens that you can use this, too.”

“I have my own weapon, and this dagger should be very important to you.” Su Huiqing shook her head and pushed the dagger over again.

“No matter how important it is, it’s not as important as your life.” Murong Bai didn’t keep it and just stood up. “I have plenty of weapons, and this is just one of them. It’s definitely not as good as Old Yu’s things so just use it. You don’t know what we met last night. If not for Old Yu and Old Hua, it would be quite difficult for me to handle it alone.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Take this weapon and ensure your safety. You guys already met something last night.” Hua Guangxuan nodded vigorously.
