Chapter 645: Chapter 176 Legend: What? I fought Zhu Wu? (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2
Gu Lanshan seemed to be breathing lightly and didn’t speak for quite some time.
“What’s wrong, can’t speak?”
“It’s not that I can’t, it’s just…” Gu Lanshan hesitated.
Gu Qiansui interjected, “Hmph, husband, this wretch doesn’t dare to speak, let me tell you…”
“Shut up!” Gu Lanshan scolded and after a while her voice came out, “I dare not conceal it from my husband, before I was wed, I had a marriage arrangement with the Zhuge family. Zhuge Weiwo was indeed the father on my husband’s side! But rest assured, my lord, I hadn’t yet entered their household before the entire Zhuge family died on the battlefield. Before I followed you, I was truly unsullied!”
“That’s indeed the case. This wretched woman, though married off, whom I look down upon, still remained pure as jade,” Gu Qiansui said a fair word.
“Oh.”
Xu Shu didn’t care at all, but it hadn’t occurred to him that Gu Lanshan was actually Zhuge Weiwo’s daughter-in-law. This was indeed coincidental.
If Zhuge Weiwo knew his daughter-in-law had become my Star Rage Power, I wonder what he would think?
He quietly chuckled to himself, then changed the subject and asked Gu Qiansui, “What’s your real name?”
“Ah, husband, I am, I am…” Gu Qiansui choked on her words, ‘was’ for a long time, but didn’t manage to come out with the answer.
Gu Lanshan saw an opportunity for revenge, “Husband, I know! Her name is Gu Shutong. She thought her own name sounded too mundane, like a scholar boy, and only allowed others to call her Gu Qiansui. Later, to seek legitimization, she even forced a small country into making her their female prime minister, but alas, she lacked the skill to govern. The citizens revolted, and she barely survived being beaten to death before slinking back humiliated.”
“You damn wretch, you, you!” Gu Qiansui, flustered with rage, was rendered speechless as if she had been subjected to profound humiliation.
The small jade Buddha again vibrated, indicating that Gu Lanshan and Gu Shutong seemed to have started fighting.
Xu Shu’s gaze sharpened.
Gu Lanshan, Gu Shutong, and they were both from the same era as Zhuge Weiwo and others…
A moment later, Xu Shu suddenly said, “Who among you is related to the East Yue Four Glance Sword?”
“Husband, you, you actually know about the East Yue Four Glance Sword?” Both Gu Lanshan and Gu Shutong were shocked.
In their bizarre Evil Spirit forms, they had existed within the chaotic spacetime of the ruins for countless millennia.
Now hearing Xu Shu mention a title from their era, they couldn’t help but be surprised by his deep knowledge.
After their moment of surprise, the two gave Xu Shu an answer.
Gu Lanshan was a direct blood relation of one of the Four Glance Swords, practically a daughter, whereas Gu Shutong was from a collateral branch.
Having heard this, Xu Shu could only sigh helplessly. Who would have thought that he would have captured both a Yin God and a Yang God who were enemies of Wang Teng? The world was indeed small. Of course, this also involved his own proactive search.
Speaking of which, the Gu Family also believes in Guanyin, and they also use swords. Could it be possible that the Gu Family is the progeny of the Four Glance Swords’ inspiration from the [Ancient Martial Dynasty] legend?
Xu Shu thought this possibility was not small, otherwise he couldn’t explain why he had encountered so many people from that era in the small D8B3 area.
“Alright, go back. Work well for me in the future, and you won’t lack benefits,” Xu Shu commanded.
Having to bow beneath the eaves, both Gu Lanshan and Gu Shutong expressed their gratitude, nine or even tenfold, and silently faded out of sight.
When Narrow Sleeve Guanyin regained her own eyes of majestic appearance, Xu Shu caressed the smooth spine of the Jade Buddha and suddenly asked,
“Bodhisattva, could you tell me what rank of power Gu Shutong is?”
He was somewhat curious; to have boosted Narrow Sleeve Guanyin so many levels at once, this “Bao Zhi” Qiansui must have been leagues above in terms of skill.
Narrow Sleeve Guanyin didn’t speak, but she opened one eye and it had a clear number in it: three.
Then she closed it.
Xu Shu inhaled sharply.
Third Rank?
Gu Shutong was actually Third Rank?
Then how did Narrow Sleeve Guanyin subdue her? She looked quite subdued!
You should know that back in the “Orchid Abode,” Narrow Sleeve Guanyin took a Second-order Peak Gu Lanshan and could only dare to act after exhausting her to the point of near-death.
Now she had captured a Third Rank Yang God·You Jing with a single move?
Xu Shu found it hard to believe, but the reality was right before his eyes; Gu Shutong was visibly completely fused with the Little Primordial Spirit and belonged to a state of dependence.
“It seems that there are still many aspects of this Little Primordial Spirit that I am unaware of.”
Xu Shu kept an eye out.
Next, there didn’t seem to be anything else to do today, mainly just participating in the extermination of the remnants of the Cao Gang.
Although he had laid a trap before, Xu Shu wasn’t certain whether the Cao Gang would fall for it, so he decided not to join the Judgement Department’s extermination team in haste today.
He chose to hide in the shadows and observe the situation; if the extermination team really made significant achievements and assisted in killing the Cao Gang and the remnants of the Heroic Society, he would join them later. After all, with Archbishop Yu Mingluan’s letter, he wouldn’t worry about not being recognized by the Judgement Department.
But if they turned out to be all talk and no action, not only would they not be of much help, but there was also the risk of exposing himself. In that case, Xu Shu would prefer to be a lone wolf, which, although lacking in support, was safer in terms of keeping his identity hidden.
“In the end, it all comes down to the issue of strength. I’ve rested enough. Maybe I’ll consider levelling up a few times tonight!”
Xu Shu looked at his remaining assets, his desire to become stronger urgent.
He wondered when the extermination would begin…
