Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 258

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sea water blood red, adding a sense of horror to this endless sea.

Under the watchful eyes of Gu Mengqi and other members of the Gu family, the Gu family's huge treasure ship finally approached Wuhui Island, which immediately caused a heated discussion.

Early this morning, Gu Mengqi personally brought people to welcome them. The news had already spread throughout the entire Wuhui Island. Although there were still several days before the official start of the Wuhui, a large group of people came early.

The reason for this was a piece of news that came out not long ago - Wei Song of the Wei family led a team of younger disciples of the Wei family and they were all killed by the Gu family.

Such explosive news, coupled with the upcoming martial arts competition, naturally caused a sensation. In particular, this matter seemed to involve the Evil Wind Cave Heaven, one of the two major cave heavens. Therefore, many powerful people who either had plans in advance or had no interest in coming to watch the battle, all rushed to the Martial Arts Competition Island.

Because everyone knows that the conflict between the Gu family and the Wei family has broken out, and it also involves one of the two major caves. This is definitely a big event in the Tianfeng Sea. If things go wrong, the pattern of the entire Tianfeng Sea will undergo drastic changes.

Faced with such a big event, there were naturally many people coming to watch the fun. It was precisely because the matter had become such a big deal that the Gu family was able to make up their minds and give an extremely generous dowry.

The Gu family’s idea is very simple. If our Gu family is not doing well, then you won’t be doing well either. At worst, we can give everything to someone else. He is our son-in-law anyway, so our Gu family will not suffer any loss.

"The Gu family's ship should be Gu Yan from the Gu family, right?"

"Tsk tsk, I have to say that the women of this generation of the Gu family are all extraordinary. This Gu Yan actually killed Wei Song and a team of elite soldiers of the Wei family without leaving a single one alive. She is so cruel!"

"Hehe, the Wei family will definitely not swallow this anger. Just wait and see, there will be excitement!"

"The Wei family is just a small matter. This time, it seems that there is movement in the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. It seems that the disciple of the evil bone old man also died at the hands of Gu Yan."

"Does Gu Yan have that ability? Elder Xie Gu's two disciples both have the strength of Shengxuan Realm!"

"Yes, I heard not long ago that Elder Xiegu's eldest disciple severely injured Gu Yuntian from the Gu family, making him unable to represent the Gu family in the martial arts competition."

"If you ask me, Elder Xiegu deserved it. He participated in the fight between the five major families and asked for one of his disciples to be killed."

"Hush! Don't say such things carelessly, or the evil old man will come to you directly."

"That's Gu Yan from the Gu family? I have to say, that Gu Yan is truly a peerless beauty. The two beauties of the Gu family are worthy of their reputation, wow."

"I just don't know who will be so lucky to marry such a beautiful woman in the future!"

"And there's Gu Mengqi from the Gu family. Both of them are talented and beautiful. Hehe, I wonder if the Gu family is looking for a son-in-law. Who knows, maybe we'll have a chance to get close to them!"

Gu Mengqi paid no attention to the noisy sounds around her. She waited until the Gu family's boat docked at the shore, then she greeted them with a smile.

Looking at Gu Yan and Lin Dong who were the first to walk down from the boat hand in hand, Gu Mengqi's face was obviously more smiling. Then, her eyes fell on Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan behind Lin Dong.

Seeing Xiao Yan's figure that was like an iron tower, Gu Mengqi felt an indescribable sense of oppression coming over her, like a peerless ferocious tiger, the murderous aura was rushing towards her, making Gu Mengqi feel a little cold in her heart.

What Gu Mengqi didn't know was that Xiao Yan heard people around him talking about something, especially the comments about his sister-in-law, which made Xiao Yan very unhappy. If he hadn't taken his sister-in-law's face into consideration, he would have started a killing spree!

After passing by Xiao Yan, Gu Mengqi's gaze stayed on the strange young man in the purple robe. The young man was handsome and had a bit of cynicism in his eyes, but Gu Mengqi had a feeling that this young man who looked unreliable was the strongest among the three.

Because even she could not sense the other party's breath, and could only vaguely sense a very faint sense of danger from the other party.

If others saw this, they might just think that the other party was very ordinary and not a big threat, but Gu Mengqi knew that it was not because the other party was weak. On the contrary, the other party was so strong that she could hardly detect the dangerous aura.

Gu Mengqi had never had this kind of feeling before, even towards the clan leader who had reached the perfect state of the Profound Death Realm. This meant that the other party was most likely a young talent who was stronger than the clan leader of their Gu family!

"Sister Gu Yan, are you okay?"

Although she was thinking this in her mind, Gu Mengqi smiled and greeted Gu Yan who was standing in front of her. Then, she turned her words to the three Lin Dong brothers.

"I guess you are my cheap brother-in-law, Master Lin Dong, right? These two should be Master Lin Diao and Master Lin Yan? Gu Mengqi is polite!"

What the cheap brother-in-law said was really correct. Lin Dong and Gu Yan had only met and known each other for a month. In fact, Gu Yan and Lin Dong's meeting was still a rather bizarre experience, as if they had met each other halfway. At that time, Lin Dong had lost his way in the vast sea.

"Sister Mengqi!"

Gu Yan couldn't help but pout when she heard that. Although she and Lin Dong had already established a relationship, she still felt a little embarrassed to be teased by Gu Mengqi in public.

"Sister Mengqi!"

Lin Dong also shouted, but Xiao Diao only glanced at Gu Mengqi twice and ignored him. Seeing this, Gu Mengqi just smiled faintly and took the initiative to speak.

"Brother-in-law, Master Lin Diao, Master Lin Yan, please come in. I have already sent someone to prepare food for the three of you. This is just the right time to welcome my brother-in-law and the two of you!"

Led by Gu Mengqi, the group headed directly towards the Gu family's territory.

Not long after, they arrived at a huge manor. Gu Mengqi took the initiative to bring Gu Yan, Lin Dong, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan to the banquet hall and sat down. Afterwards, the Gu family brought up the food.

Gu Mengqi raised her hand, and everyone else went down. Gu Mengqi took the initiative to stand up, poured wine for Lin Dong, Xiao Diao and the other two, then raised her glass and spoke.

“On behalf of my sister Gu Yan and many of the children of my Gu family, I would like to thank the three of you for saving my life. Although Master Lin Dong directly saved my sister Gu Yan’s entire body and heart, I still have to thank you.”

Lin Dong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He hadn't expected that at the beginning he just wanted to get a sea chart and ask for directions, but in the end, he got a wife while asking.

Gu Yan was also a little embarrassed. At first, she agreed to Lin Dong's condition mainly for revenge against the Wei family and for the benefit of the Gu family. As for what happened later, well, she was the one who got involved.

"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you, sister Gu Yan, on finding a good match yet!"

Gu Mengqi playfully winked at Gu Yan, making her face even redder. After a few rounds of drinking, Gu Mengqi's smile faded a lot, and her face became more solemn. She looked at Gu Yan and asked in a deep voice.

"Sister Gu Yan, please tell me everything about this incident in detail."

Seeing Gu Mengqi's solemn expression, Gu Yan did not hesitate and told her everything in detail. During the conversation, Lin Dong also added some things. Of course, he did not mention what happened under the island in the middle of Xuanling Island. That was a secret and even Gu Yan was completely unaware of it.

"Ugh!"

After listening to Gu Yan's story, Gu Mengqi couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion.

"If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. It seems that the Wei family is determined to come after my Gu family this time!"

"Sister Meng Qi, it's just the Wei family. Although our Gu family's strength has declined in recent years, we are not afraid of the Wei family, even the Evil Wind Cave Heaven..."

As Gu Yan spoke, her expression became more solemn. The Wei family was nothing. The strength of the five major families varied greatly. Although the Gu family was considered to be in the middle or lower level among the five major families, or even almost at the bottom, the Wei family did not dare to touch the Gu family easily.

Yes, the Gu family has not had an easy time in recent years. The biggest problem is the lack of successors.

The most talented of the younger generation of the Gu family is Gu Yuntian, but Gu Yuntian can only be considered mediocre. He is qualified to take over the Gu family, but he cannot support the family. What's more, no one can help him support the family.

The Gu family, Gu Yuntian, Gu Mengqi, followed by Gu Yan, and then Gu Ying and Gu Ya are considered to be good members of the clan. Most of them are women, and there are few outstanding men.

These are nothing in the forces like Xiefeng Dongtian, especially those forces that have strong people in the Wheel-Turning Realm in charge, because the Wheel-Turning Realm is the real pillar.

But in a family like the Gu family, if there is a lack of young men, it means that the family inheritance may be cut off. Women will eventually marry out. Even if they recruit a son-in-law, and find an outstanding son-in-law, will he be the head of the family in the future? What about the son-in-law's children?

In the end, there will always be conflicts, which is why the Gu family never forces talented women like Gu Mengqi and Gu Yan to marry. They just hope that in the future, women who marry out, especially talented women, will consider their family ties and help the family when it is in trouble.

"What are you afraid of? I was the one who killed him. Could it be that the Evil Wind Cave Heaven can continue to cause trouble for you?"

Xiao Diao waved his hand and said impatiently. Gu Mengqi was not angry after hearing this. Instead, she shook her head and sighed.

"Mr. Lin Diao, you may not know that there was actually a battle for this Wuhui Island back then. In the end, Xiefeng Dongtian had to retreat in the face of the joint efforts of our five major families, leaving our five major families in charge of Wuhui Island."

"This time, it seems that the old man Xiegu sent his disciples here. Maybe he has already started to contact the Wei family, or even alienate the five major families. It just so happens that the death of the old man Xiegu's disciples is related to my Gu family. After the martial arts competition, the Wei family and the old man Xiegu will definitely let my Gu family give an explanation."

"What do you want to confess? If you want to confess, just say directly that it was Master Diao who killed him. Don't you think they dare to use Gu Yan to threaten us brothers?"

Xiao Diao curled her lips and said, but Gu Yan shook her head and spoke softly.

"They don't dare to touch me. They still have to give face to you brothers, but the Gu family, or Sister Mengqi, will probably..."

"What do you mean? Your Gu family just sent the family girl away and then protected the family, right?"

Xiao Diao's face turned colder. He hated this kind of thing that sacrificed his own family members. When he was in the Tian Yao Diao tribe, among his peers, who dared to bully the people of their Tian Yao Diao tribe? He went straight to the door.

"The clan leader won't do that, but I can't watch the Gu family perish, so today, Gu Mengqi has a favor to ask of you."

Gu Mengqi shook her head to deny it, then stared at Xiao Diao with burning eyes and spoke word by word.

"Gu Mengqi begs Master Lin Diao to marry me. As long as you are willing to marry me, everyone in my Gu family will obey your and my brother-in-law's orders. How do you think?"

"puff!!"

Lin Dong, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea. He didn't expect that Gu Mengqi would be so, uh, so bold and direct.

Not only did Lin Dong not expect this, but Xiao Diao, who was sitting next to him and felt a little annoyed by Gu Mengqi's nagging, was even more stunned. He quickly waved his hands and said.

"No, Master Diao will not do such things as bullying men and women. As for that evil wind cave, don't worry, Master Diao is here, they dare not do anything to your Gu family."

Seeing that Xiao Diao did not agree but had already promised, Gu Mengqi's face showed a more genuine smile. She originally chose Xiao Diao just because she wanted to find someone strong enough to save the Gu family, that's all.

But looking at the other party's seemingly innocent temperament, Gu Mengqi actually became more interested and said with a chuckle.

"What if I say I volunteered?"

"what?"

Xiao Diao was stunned. For a Heavenly Demon Marten who had just reached adulthood, this kind of thing was something he had never encountered before. Now, not only was he being chased for a marriage contract, but he was also being "pestered" by a woman, which made Xiao Diao instantly confused.

"I said, I like you, the clan leader means that if my sister Gu Yan and I get married, we can decide. If I like one of the three, we can make a marriage contract. At that time, we can let the three of you participate in the ancient meeting. As for whether to cancel the marriage contract afterwards, we will discuss it at that time."

Gu Mengqi, who was originally a little shy in her heart, became bolder when she saw Xiao Diao's flustered look. She took the initiative to sit next to Xiao Diao, raised her hand to pour him a glass of wine, and said with a smile.

"And I have taken a fancy to you, Master Lin Diao. If you are willing, Gu Mengqi is willing to marry you with half of the Gu family as a dowry. As for the other half, it is the dowry of sister Gu Yan. I cannot make the decision, but I think my brother-in-law will not refuse, right?"

"No, you..."

Xiao Diao was so confused as she saw her marriage was so close that she didn't know how to respond. Gu Mengqi was very bold. She directly grabbed Xiao Diao's hand and handed her the wine glass. Seeing that Xiao Diao did not resist, she just stayed with her.

After the meal, Gu Mengqi directly ate the little mink. The young and inexperienced Sky Demon Marten was captured directly and became someone else's mount.
