Grudge Breaker

Chapter 310: The menacing force
"Master Cangyue, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as generous as ever. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on receiving this honor. I would like to offer you a toast!"

Seeing Gu Cangyue coming with great force, the territory master Qin Huan decided to save the situation.

This troublemaker was notoriously evil and difficult to deal with, and now that he held a high position, he was even more so. Even Qin Huan, the territory master, had to be extremely careful - it would be inappropriate not to invite him to the family dinner. According to usual practice, he would definitely not come, but this time, for some reason, he actually came all the way from the Immortal Temple in the upper realm to attend the dinner.

But it's embarrassing to show everyone a sour face and a bad temper as soon as you enter the door.

There was no one in the main hall who was suitable to take over the conversation except Qin Huan, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with Gu Cangyue.

But Gu Cangyue didn't buy Qin Huan's talk at all and turned a deaf ear to his words. She just glanced at the wine jar filled with Wunian water on the table, and with a flick of her slender fingers, the wine jar filled with wine was poured all over Song Weichen's head!
.
"Are you the new white robe?"

A tone full of joking.

"Mo, you are going backwards as you grow older. You dare to take out any kind of stuff!"

Song Weichen never expected that Gu Cangyue would throw wine on him, and he had no intention of dodging at all. The bottle of wine was not wasted at all and splashed all over his arms.

But she didn't wipe it off. She sat at the table as before, looking a little dazed. Her big eyes looked at Gu Cangyue in confusion. Was it really him? Did Big Bird really... throw wine at her just now?

"Gu Cang Yue!!!"

Mo Tingfeng became anxious. He flipped his hand and the pot of Wunian water on Gu Cangyue's table was like a mercury needle, piercing through the crystal clear Ru porcelain jade bottle and rushing towards Gu Cangyue's face!

Gu Cangyue's figure flashed away, and the steel needle made of water flew straight into the air and pierced through the copper wall behind him - the killing power was so fierce that everyone at the scene was shocked.

If Gu Cangyue had not dodged just now, he would have suffered physical pain.

"Tingfeng! Don't hurt the Master!"

Qin Huan spoke in a stern voice. After all, Mo Tingfeng was the most powerful fighter in the Mei Realm. Even Gu Cangyue, who had cultivated into a True Lord Spirit, would be hard to defeat. If he was really injured in his house, it would be difficult to explain to the upper realm.

Before the territory master finished speaking, Gu Cangyue had already appeared beside Song Weichen, staring at her sinisterly through the bird-beak mask.

Mo Tingfeng immediately rushed forward, his body filled with murderous intent, no one should think of hurting Song Weichen, especially him! !
The originally bustling main hall was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"True Lord! Tingfeng, we are having a nice family dinner, what are you doing?"

Qin Huan rushed over, and Qin Xueying followed closely behind him, her face full of anxiety - she took out a handkerchief to wipe the wine stains for Song Weichen, but her eyes never left Mo Tingfeng, obviously afraid that he would suffer a loss.

"Everyone who comes is an honored guest. Family dinners are rare. Isn't it wonderful to enjoy a good night with wine and conversation?"

Qin Xueying spoke earnestly. After all, her father, the territory master, was not good at things like "persuading people from fighting" - mainly because there was no occasion for him to "practice".

"You have no place to speak here."

Gu Cangyue didn't buy it at all and spoke with disdain in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but which could be heard by the entire main hall.

He is the only one in the world who doesn't take the eldest princess seriously.

"What a bullshit family dinner, who are you from?"

"Besides, you guys don't treat others as your family. Look, old Qin Huan is making a fool of this new grandson in white robes! Isn't he?"

……

"enough."

Song Weichen finally spoke, his voice was calm and hollow, completely different from the "god who was talking nonsense" before.

"Cang Yue... Master, family banquets are rare, please don't ruin everyone's mood because of me."

"If you find it annoying, I'll just leave. There's no need to get so angry."

After saying this, Song Weichen bowed to the territory master and asked for his opinion. The latter nodded.

"Well, Baipao can't drink much, so it's good to go out for some fresh air to sober up."

"Thank you for your grace, Lord. I will take my leave first."

She turned around and tried to leave, but Gu Cangyue grabbed her wrist unexpectedly. Mo Tingfeng wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Qin Xueying and Qin Huan, and was unable to move for a while.

A piercing pain came from his arm, Song Weichen's eyes became hot and tears almost burst out - his hand hurt, and his heart hurt even more.

"Does my Lord allow you to go?"

"Don't you think highly of me?"

……

Song Weichen heard something very precious falling to the ground somewhere in his heart, making a shattering sound.

"My Lord."

This was a term that Gu Cangyue had never used on her. He had always modestly referred to himself as "I" to her.

This "Mr. Ben" felt very strange to her.

She looked carefully at the man in front of her. Yes, it was that man.

How come it was such a frighteningly strange meeting after just a short separation?

He seemed to have forgotten all about her.

……

"Cang..., what exactly does the True Lord want?"

Gu Cangyue sneered, extremely cold and indifferent.

"Don't think about it. Just now you served the old lord so happily. Now serve me just like that. If you can make him happy, I will forgive you."

Song Weichen smiled sadly.
"So the True Lord also wants to play tricks on me."

……

"But what if I don't want to?"

"Don't want to?!"

Gu Cangyue laughed out loud, and as he laughed, Song Weichen felt that her wrist seemed to be broken - at least it was a fracture, and she seemed to hear the sound of the bone cracking slightly.

She didn't scream. Compared to the crack in her heart, this little pain was nothing.
.
"What is Master Cang Yue doing?"

Unexpectedly, when all the guests kept silent to avoid being implicated, Shu Tinglong came over on his own initiative. He bowed to the territory master and everyone else, and was gentle and amiable. Although he had the same face as Gu Cangyue, his expression and temperament were completely different.

"I went to a foreign land to trade a few days ago and got a few new and interesting gadgets. If you don't mind, I will present them to you for your enjoyment."

After a pause, Shu Xinglong looked at Gu Cangyue intriguingly.

"It's a coincidence that one of these things seems to have some connection with Master Cang Yue."

"Oh? There is such a coincidence. I am very curious. Please present it to us quickly, my dear Lord Shu, so that we can open our eyes!"

Qin Huan "took advantage of the situation" and released 30% of his magic power in his palms. He stretched out one palm towards Gu Cangyue's shoulder and the other palm towards Mo Tingfeng, wanting to take the two back to their seats - this was an obscure expression of "giving face" in the officialdom of the Meijie, meaning that I respect you as a distinguished guest, but please give me a way out and don't make things too ugly in public.

Gu Cangyue pondered for a moment, glanced at Song Weichen, and finally released his hold on her. With a cold face, she was led away by the territory master.

While they were walking to their seats, she quietly walked towards the main hall entrance. However, Song Weichen really wanted to know what Shu Tinglong had found in the outer realm that was related to Gu Cangyue - was it possible that this thing had made him become what he is now?
After a little hesitation, she stopped and found a secluded place to observe secretly.

Shu Xinglong took out a three-layer brocade box from under the seat where he was sitting.

Open the first layer, and inside is a grass-green crystal bead as big as a goose egg.

"This jadeite bead comes from the south of Mount Dai, and its name is 'Shen Zhao'. I thought it had long been extinct, but I didn't expect to see its true appearance in the foreign land."

Shu Xinglong presented the jade bead to the territory master and others. Everyone who saw it was amazed. It is said that the jade bead from Daishan is one in ten thousand. Upon closer inspection, one can see "rare grasses and strange trees, lush green bamboos, with phoenixes above and black cranes below." Seeing it today is really amazing.

"It is recorded in the Elder Scrolls that this Illuminating Pearl can make mortals immortal - this is a lie. But it does have other effects."

As he spoke, he placed the Divine Illuminating Pearl in front of Qin Xueying with both hands.

"If you often wear this pearl, a woman's beauty will last forever. Princess, you don't need it because you are naturally beautiful. However, it can also help people sleep peacefully and avoid nightmares. If you are willing to accept it, I will have found a good owner for this little thing."

Shu Xinglong really knew how to talk. Every word he said touched Qin Xueying's heart. He gave her enough face and substance. Naturally, he made the princess smile happily. Her rosy face, like a cherry, added a bit of charm.

Qin Che, who was joining in the fun, naturally couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Oh my, I think my cousin and someone are a good match. Why don't we take advantage of today's auspicious day to get things done?"

"Be careful not to talk too much and flick your tongue."

Qin Xueying's tone was filled with the coquettishness that only a girl could have, but her expression was that of a girl with a crush on someone. The territory master Qin Huan saw it all. He looked at Shu Tinglong and nodded meaningfully.

"Your sincerity is precious, Mr. Shu. I thank you on behalf of Xue'er."

Qin Che grabbed Shu Tinglong's shoulders.
"Boss Shu, hurry up and speak up. My uncle is saying that good things are about to happen to you!"

Shu Xinglong curled his lips and opened the second brocade box. Inside was a dice that looked very ordinary. Although it was a dice, the marks of points were very faint and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

"This is the 'shadow dice'. It is said to be made from the skull of a dream-eating tapir, so the number of points on the dice can be changed as you wish. It is most suitable for a little gambling to amuse yourself."

"so smart?"

Qin Che grabbed it without saying anything.
"how to use?"

"Young Marquis Qin, hold the dice in your palm, think of a number in your mind, and then shake it normally and place it on the table. No matter how you place it, the side facing up must be the number you think of in your mind."

"really?"

Qin Che did as he was told half-believingly and placed the dice in his hand on the table, but did not move his hand away immediately.

"The number I'm thinking of is three, open!"

Sure enough, the number on the dice under his hand was exactly three.

In high spirits, Qin Che tried a few more times, and he hit the target every time. This excited him so much that he looked at Shu Tinglong with shining eyes.
"Boss Shu, please give me this treasure! Just name the price!"

Shu Tinglong smiled calmly.
"It's just a little toy. Young Marquis Qin likes it, so just take it and play with it."

……

"If we really want to talk about treasures, we have to look at the third one."

When Shu Xinglong said this, he stared at Gu Cangyue with a half-smile in his eyes - maybe it was an illusion, ever since Shu Xinglong stepped forward to "rescue the beauty" and broke the tense atmosphere of confrontation at the table with the "little gadgets" he brought back from foreign land, Gu Cangyue has been much silent. He just watched Shu Xinglong "show off" quietly and did not say a word to stop him.

It was not until this time that Song Weichen realized that Gu Cangyue and Shu Tinglong appeared at the same time.

It turns out that all previous speculations and tests were wrong. They are indeed not the same person, even though they have almost identical body shapes.

In the end, I was just overthinking it.

She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and when she saw Gu Cangyue, her eyes became red again unconsciously. She wished that the Gu Cangyue in front of her was not the same person as her big bird...

It was only then that Song Weichen felt her wrist burning with pain. She must have injured her bones. She could no longer play the zither as Sang Pu tonight. She didn't know what to do next...

However, her attention was soon attracted by the commotion at the main table. She only heard Qin Che, Qin Xueying and others exclaiming in amazement, but she didn't know what they saw.

Song Weichen hid behind a pillar, stretched his neck to look over, and saw a bright light - how could there be moonlight in the brocade box?

Could it be a fragment of the moon?

……

When she looked carefully, she found that it was a feather.

It was a delicate arrow feather with great toughness, an oval feather at the end, and a golden-white color all over. Song Weichen hesitated slightly, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"It is said that this is a crown feather from the head of an ancient phoenix bird."

Seeing the complicated expression on Gu Cangyue's face, Shu Tinglong curled his lips and smiled.

"It seems that what you said is true. I made the right bet."

……

Yes, Song Weichen remembered that when she was in desperate situation in the Well of Time and was rescued by the phoenix transformed by Gu Cangyue, what she saw on his head was the crown feathers as colorful as the full moon. There were three of them in total, which were extremely eye-catching.

However, the light of that day was brighter than the crown feather in front of him. The light was more like the golden-white sun than the moon.

……

Shu Tinglong placed the crown feather in front of Gu Cangyue with both hands.
"Master Cang Yue, I heard that if someone can obtain the phoenix feathers, they can force you, the ancient true god, to do something for them, no matter what it is. Is this true?"
