From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Chen Shi originally thought that Gu Chengze arranged for him to seduce Xiao Fengxiao only to gain leverage over Xiao Fengxiao so that he could take control of the household and also to get money from Xiao Fengxiao to squander.

After all, everyone in the Hou family knows that Second Madam Ze is incredibly wealthy!

But now it seems that it's not that simple.

Gu Chengze acted too hastily, so hastily that Chen Shi couldn't help but suspect that there were deeper reasons prompting Gu Chengze to do this.

"I don't need to explain my purpose to a lackey like you."

Gu Chengze snorted coldly, his gaze haughty and disdainful.

"I have been freed from slavery, I am no longer a slave."

Chen Shi raised his head slightly and looked directly at Gu Chengze.

"Ha! What a joke!"

Gu Chengze suddenly laughed twice, then looked at Chen Shi with a sinister gaze.

"As long as you are my slave, you will be my slave for life! The only way to escape my grasp is when you die!"

"It could also be your death."

"...How dare you!"

Gu Chengze was instantly enraged, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

But soon, the murderous intent subsided, and Gu Chengze took a deep breath, forcibly calming his emotions.

really.

Seeing Gu Chengze's reaction, Chen Shi became even more certain of his guess.

Given Gu Chengze's personality, how could he possibly restrain himself after being provoked like this? There's only one reason: Gu Chengze needs him, and that matter is very important.

Chen Shi became increasingly curious about the deeper reasons behind his affair with Xiao Fengxiao.

Unable to figure it out, and not having time to think about it further, Chen Shi only needed to know that this matter was very important to Gu Chengze.

In this way, he had the leverage to negotiate with Gu Chengze.

Chen Shi's expression was serious, and he couldn't help but glance at Cui Nong, who was still lying on the ground.

"I promise to continue doing that job for you."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shi said directly.

"A wise person knows when to yield; you are indeed very clever."

Gu Chengze smiled smugly, but then his gaze turned cold.

"However, you are too dishonest, and besides, you have been freed from slavery, so I have to control you in some way."

"What are you trying to do!"

"You really like this bitch, don't you?"

Gu Chengze kicked Cui Nong on the ground, his eyes filled with disgust.

"I'll give this bitch back to you only when you've dealt with Xiao Fengxiao."

"Release Cui Nong, or I won't do anything for you!"

"Shut up! You have no right to negotiate with me!"

Gu Chengze shouted, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

"If you don't do it, I'll kill this bitch right now!"

"stop!"

Seeing Gu Chengze raise his foot, as if to stomp heavily on Cui Nong's throat, Chen Shi couldn't help but shout to stop him, even though he knew he was bluffing.

Seeing Chen Shi's tense expression, Gu Chengze once again revealed a triumphant smile.

Although he looked down on Chen Shi, he had to admit that Chen Shi was indeed superior to most people in terms of intelligence and temperament.

Unfortunately, he was a romantic at heart.

In Gu Chengze's view, women serve only two purposes: to release their desires and to be tools for climbing the social ladder.

Chen Shi's genuine affection for a woman sealed his fate of utter defeat!

"I will dutifully help you with that matter, but!"

Chen Shi took a deep breath, his expression serious.

"You can't hurt Cui Nong, not even a single hair! I'll be checking on Cui Nong regularly, and if I find her harmed, we'll break up completely, it'll be a fight to the death!"

"You dare threaten me?"

Gu Chengze looked at Chen Shi with a cold gaze, but after a moment he nodded.

I promise you.

Seeing that Gu Chengze agreed, Chen Shi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Chengze only knocked Cui Nong unconscious, but did not kill her, so Chen Shi had guessed from the beginning that Gu Chengze wanted to use Cui Nong to blackmail him.

Just as Gu Chengze said, he had been freed from slavery, and Gu Chengze could no longer control his life and death, so he had to find another bargaining chip.

Knowing this, Chen Shi didn't expect Gu Chengze to release Cui Nong directly. He said so much just to keep Gu Chengze from harming Cui Nong for the time being.

He didn't trust Gu Chengze's character and integrity, but he knew Gu Chengze wasn't a fool. To ensure he handled the task properly, Gu Chengze wouldn't lay a finger on Cui Nong, at least not until it was done.

After all, he had already confirmed that this matter was very important to Gu Chengze, so important that Gu Chengze dared not make any mistakes.

"Get Xiao Fengxiao into bed as soon as possible, otherwise, one day if I'm in a bad mood, I might just kill this bitch!"

After finishing his business, Gu Chengze placed Cui Nong across the horse's back, said something, and then rode away with the man in the yellow robe.

As the sound of horses' hooves faded into the distance, Chen Shi frowned as he gazed at the now completely dark wilderness.

"Are you alright?"

Zhe Liu's voice rang out from behind him, and he took out a healing pill and handed it to Chen Shi.

"Why didn't you show up just now?"

Chen Shi took the pill, swallowed it, and asked a question directly.

"We can't beat them."

Zhe Liu remained expressionless, but his gaze was unusually solemn.

Chen Shi looked at Zhe Liu and sighed helplessly after a long while.

Zhe Liu is right. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for that man in the yellow robe.

As a wingman, Zhe Liu would risk his life to protect Chen Shi.

Just now, Chen Shi was in danger. Although she knew she was no match for him, she was ready to rush out. Even if she died, she would find a way to get Chen Shi out of danger.

But then he realized that Gu Chengze had no intention of killing him, but rather had other plans. Rushing out might not save Chen Shi, but could instead provoke Gu Chengze and put Chen Shi in danger.

After some deliberation, Zhe Liu decided not to show himself.

"What level of cultivation does that person possess?"

"Asura Realm, Rank 5"

"...Damn it!"

Although he had suspected it for a while, Chen Shi was still agitated when he heard the confirmation from Cui Nong.

There are nine ranks of martial artists, and each rank is separated by an insurmountable gap.

Their opponent was a fifth-grade grandmaster, two grades higher than them, and was someone they could not possibly deal with.

Annoyed, Chen Shi was also puzzled.

Where did Gu Chengze find such a master?

Not to mention that Gu Chengze has already been "exiled to the army", even before that, as the second master of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, he did not have any fifth-rank military officers under his command.

A sixth-rank minor grandmaster is a true grandmaster, while a fifth-rank grandmaster is a true grandmaster. Perhaps only under Gu Tingshu and Gu Tingliang could one find such a master.

However, Chen Shi couldn't think about these things for the time being; what he needed to do now was to rescue Cui Nong as soon as possible.

"drive!"

After untying the horses from the carriage, Chen Shi gave them a strong spur and drove straight towards Yongqiu City.

As he traveled, Chen Shi's gaze was deep as he pondered.

If he really does as Gu Chengze says and tries to seduce Xiao Fengxiao, Gu Chengze will definitely kill him after it's done, and he probably won't let Cui Nong off the hook either.

In fact, ever since Chen Shi betrayed Gu Chengze last time, Gu Chengze will never let him go, regardless of whether he slept with Xiao Fengxiao as Gu Chengze said.

Gu Chengze had no intention of letting him go, and Chen Shi had no intention of doing what Gu Chengze said either. His agreement to Gu Chengze was merely a delaying tactic.

"kill!"

Thinking of this, Chen Shi's gaze suddenly turned icy.

If you want to save Cui Nong, you can also kill Gu Chengze!
