Chapter 299: Chapter 6 White Parrot

Changye?

Was this meant to kill me?!

Tomb Ghost looked at the hand this man had extended... In his heart, he thought, "This isn’t a hand, this is the shackle sending me into an abyss!"

He desperately wanted to escape, but this guy, who looked thin and weak, had a hand that was stronger than iron, gripping him tightly so he couldn’t move!

Tomb Ghost looked at the lady with a terrified expression.

"The most venomous thing is a woman’s heart"... This woman was even more ruthless than the rumors said, more ruthless than any man. Even if the Awakening Bill project no longer operated, even if he was worthless, he still could be put to some use.

He had just taken over Huazhi a day ago, and Lu Nanzhi was already sending him to Changye, having even found a handler!

Tomb Ghost wanted to cry but had no tears.

Finally.

He looked to Gu Shen for help.

Gu Shen returned a helpless "I’m sorry" expression... To Tomb Ghost, that detestable face clearly said, "Don’t look at me, I’m no good person."

...

...

"That’s about how it is..."

Ten minutes later.

Tomb Ghost’s expression fluctuated, looking somewhat skeptical at Gu Shen.

"You mean... Gu Changzhi’s Angel Envoy appeared? The construction of Qingzhong wasn’t in vain?"

Life was uncertain, turning from great sorrow to great joy, he could hardly accept it now, his heart pounded uncontrollably... There was a moment when Tomb Ghost thought he was being sent to Changye, to be judged by the new and old factions who wished to eat him alive.

Thinking of the "good deeds" he did in Changye... He even pessimistically thought about fighting Gu Nanfeng to the death.

Better fall here.

Than be dragged to Changye!

"That’s right. The implementation of the Qingzhong Bill has proven effective... Though the effects took some time." Gu Shen faintly consoled, "So it seems, your luck isn’t too bad after all."

As he spoke, Gu Shen’s eyebrow bore a trace of Chi Huo, observing Tomb Ghost’s "spiritual fluctuations".

Tomb Ghost remained as tense as if facing a great enemy, gritting his teeth, "I won’t go to Changye... After Qingzhong was built, both factions there hated me to the core. Even if the old faction doesn’t hold me responsible... The new faction won’t let me go."

"Not even if beaten to death? Really?" Gu Shen asked leisurely.

"Not even if beaten to death..." Tomb Ghost’s expression suddenly changed, looking at the flame at Gu Shen’s palm, and said nervously, "You wouldn’t really act, would you?"

"If you insist on staying in Da Du... It seems we have no other choice." Gu Shen said calmly, "The New World project is already abolished, now Huazhi and South Bay are joining forces to keep the Awakening Bill out of East Continent... Assessing the situation should be your forte, do you understand what I mean?"

Tomb Ghost was stunned.

He narrowed his eyes, carefully mulling over Gu Shen’s words.

In fact, coming to Da Du to perfect the Awakening Bill and going to Changye to build Qingzhong were not his first choices... Driven by the circumstances, Xing Yun had no options.

He didn’t care whether Qingzhong was built, nor did he care about pushing the bill.

In other words... He was just swaying with the wind.

Whichever side was stronger, he would lean on.

In these times, he only sought self-preservation.

And now, the fierce wind in Da Du seemed to have settled, and the situation was clear.

"Let me introduce... Gu Nanfeng, the future head of the Gu family appointed by the Tomb Guardian, sent to the Fortress by the old faction eight years ago, just returned from the North Continent." Gu Shen began to say.

With a thud!

The crowd was startled by the sound.

They saw Tomb Ghost kneeling on one knee, grasping Gu Nanfeng’s hand firmly, his face full of sincerity, his voice strong and firm, "I am willing to serve Young Master Gu to the best of my ability!"

Gu Nanfeng: "???"

"So, you are the future Young Master of Changye, as expected, a dragon among men. From the first sight, I felt your extraordinary demeanor!" Tomb Ghost couldn’t wait to flatter, "Honestly, I fled after the Qingzhong Bill’s implementation, so we haven’t met, it’s a pity... But I am truly loyal to the old faction and even more loyal to you. Just give the order, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Gu Nanfeng fell into a long silence.

In the eight years at the North Continent Fortress... He had never seen such a character.

"When are we leaving?"

Tomb Ghost laughed heartily, "I can’t wait to spill my blood on the red soil of Changye!"

A tree without its bark will die, a person without shame is invincible... Gu Shen felt rueful, Tomb Ghost had survived under the gaze of so many big shots, there was a reason for it.

This guy’s thick skin was unmatched, comparable to the giant wall of the Fortress.

As soon as he introduced Gu Nanfeng’s identity, Tomb Ghost immediately latched on... Clearly, this was a bigger backer than the East Province Grand Judge.

Xing Yun’s logic was simple.

Rather than staying at Huazhi Building waiting for the scheming Lu Nanzhi, it was better to volunteer for Changye. Although risky, traveling with the "future family head" appointed by the Tomb Guardian, he could be treated as an honored guest by the old faction.

The seeds sown with the Qingzhong Bill years ago.

Finally bore fruit today.

Gu Shen looked at Tomb Ghost, who was full of spring breezes and thought he had made it through, finding it amusing... If this guy knew that Song Ci’s apostle’s token came from West Continent Light City, what would his reaction be?

...

...

Everything settled.

Teacher hurried to the North Continent Fortress, to rescue Senior Sister Luo of "Skydawn" Tian Tong.

Meanwhile, Gu Shen and his party stayed a night in Da Du, handling their last personal matters before departure.

Gu Shen went to visit Song Ci in the hospital.

Due to the burning of the token, Song Ci was still covered in bandages, unable to speak or open his eyes... These days, many people came bearing gifts to see this "New Nobility of East Continent".

The only one who came empty-handed was Gu Shen.

"I’m going to Changye tomorrow." Gu Shen said, smiling as he sat by the bed, "I’ll check out the scenery in Jiangbei for you, and look after Senior Sister Lu. If someone tries to mess with her, I’ll let them taste my fist... Just like Zhao Qi did."

Song Ci’s bandaged face twitched into a smile.

The memories of drinking merrily in the old town seemed like just yesterday.

Time flew by... Now it was time to part.

Song Ci struggled to open his eyes, his blurred vision dimmed.

"Take care of those injuries. Remember, you are now the only ’Angel Envoy’ of East Continent!" Gu Shen smiled, "Do you know what they call you out there? Not Crow... But Song Baiying!"

White Parrot.

The pure white parrot, with divine wings unfolded, shining like the radiant sun.

Those who witnessed Song Ci’s display of divine power as an Envoy would never forget that awe-inspiring scene.

The man in the hospital bed managed a difficult smile, his lips moved.

He tried to say something.

Two words.

Bullshit.

Bullshit to the White Parrot, bullshit to the Envoy... He was just Song Ci, just Crow, and in front of Gu Shen, he didn’t want any burdens!

Gu Shen laughed.

"Don’t worry, the next time we meet... I’ll be stronger too."

He said softly, "I’ll catch up very soon, very soon."
