Chapter 391: At Least It's Better Than Letting Young Master Xingyi Get Injured
Chapter 391: At Least It's Better Than Letting Young Master Xingyi Get Injured
This was the kind of person who had never suffered a loss, even when they were already at a disadvantage.
Even though he was already under someone else's control, he still spoke with a hint of arrogance.
It was as if no one dared to provoke him, yet he continued to speak with such audacity.
"And you better not wander off alone. If those seven bodyguards couldn't handle you, next time I'll bring seventeen people. If seventeen isn't enough, I'll bring twenty-seven. If you have the guts, go ahead and make your move now, you good-for-nothing!"
Hu Xingyi's face was filled with malevolence.
Speaking these words made him feel much better.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned and turned to look at him.
In an instant, before Qin Wei could react, Su Chen had already flashed to Hu Xingyi's side.
He directly broke the man's right hand.
A scream rang out, startling everyone present.
The bodyguards nearby turned pale in an instant.
Hu Xingyi had suffered some pain, but at most, it was just a painful injury.
But now, Su Chen had directly broken his hand.
His elbow was completely shattered.
Fearing that the situation would spiral out of control, Qin Wei quickly stepped forward and pulled Su Chen back.
"He's the grandson of Elder Hu. This time..."
Qin Wei didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly took Su Chen away from the scene.
It wasn't appropriate for Su Chen to continue staying in the courtyard near Hongshi City.
He could only temporarily reside in the camp with Tan Kun.
As for Tan Kun's family, he had already sent them away during the night.
As night fell, Tan Kun was anxious and couldn't sleep.
Su Chen, however, wasn't overly concerned.
If he were still in Great Zhou, he might have been more restrained and low-key.
But here in Jin Kingdom, using these false identities, there was no need to bottle up these matters.
The commander had also instructed Su Chen to stay within his tent for a short time and not leave.
For reconnaissance missions, he was to wait for Su Chen to accompany him.
As the night approached its end, voices could be heard outside the tent.
The area around the tent was quiet at night, making the voices sound loud and penetrating.
Intrigued, Su Chen and Tan Kun stepped out of the tent.
Many others also emerged and headed towards the source of the sound.
As they drew closer, the voices became clearer.
Su Chen confirmed that the words being spoken were curses directed at him.
They were the kind of vulgar insults, filled with derogatory and humiliating language.
"Gong Shu, you should go back first. The responsibility for this matter should have been blamed on Hu Xingyi. He was the one who initiated the attack."
Qin Wei's brows furrowed as he tried to persuade the old man before him.
But this Gong Shu's face remained filled with anger, and he continued to curse.
"You people, useless as you are, don't deserve to be called humans! Do you know how severely injured Xingyi is? His bones are completely dislocated, and even the slightest movement causes blood to ooze out. With the resources of the Ta He Sect, how could you let Xingyi get injured? And now you dare to protect that bastard? Are you even worthy of being called humans?"
Upon hearing this insult, Su Chen instantly drew his long sword.
Tan Kun, standing beside him, quickly grabbed Su Chen.
"Gong Shu, you should know better than us about all the things Hu Xingyi has done. The people he has tormented have suffered far more than him, right?"
In response to Qin Wei's rebuttal, the old man before them seemed to go crazy.
"Qin Wei, can anyone compare to our Xingyi? Their injuries are nothing compared to his. But the pain Xingyi suffered today, it's the pain of broken bones, searing into his very marrow!"
As he spoke, Gong Shu began to curse in the direction of the tent and set up an altar for worship.
"Ancestors of the Ta He Sect, look at the people in the sect now.
They injured Xingyi and still dare to protect him.
I implore the ancestors to bring down the Thunder Tribulation and strike him with Five Thunder Strikes, ending his life.
Please bless Xingyi to recover soon."
This Gong Shu acted like a scoundrel, not entering the Third Battle Team's camp, but standing outside the tent.
One moment he was worshipping, and the next, he started cursing again.
Qin Wei spotted Su Chen in the crowd and hurried over.
"This is the Hu Elder's Mansion's steward, who has served the Hu Elder for four or five decades."
Qin Wei's face carried a hint of helplessness.
His abilities were average, but it was precisely because of his average abilities and this identity that made it difficult for others to take action against him.
Xingyi was injured due to his arrogant and unruly behavior, causing all sorts of trouble.
But if this Gong Shu was injured, the Hu Elder would come to question it, making it even harder to explain.
"Cover your ears and wait for him to tire himself out and leave on his own."
Su Chen didn't argue and turned back to the camp.
Outside the camp, Gong Shu continued his cursing until midnight.
After a night passed, it was only around dawn when Gong Shu returned.
This time, he brought a lot of offerings and stood outside the Third Battle Team's camp.
While cursing, he worshipped the Ta He Sect's Immortals.
In his worship, he pleaded for the ancestors to bless Xingyi and punish Su Xing.
His ruckus attracted the attention of other battle teams from the Ta He Sect.
Many people found it irritating and couldn't bear to listen.
Although they were annoyed, everyone knew they couldn't take action against Gong Shu.
"Brother Su, you must endure and not lay a hand on this old fool."
"If you want to buy something, Brother Su, just ask me, and I'll help you get it."
"If Brother Su can stay in the camp for a while, they won't be able to hold out for long."
On the side of the Third Battle Team, the relationship between Su Chen and the others was actually quite good.
Moreover, Su Chen had genuinely brought them benefits.
Additionally, everyone knew Xingyi's temperament.
He was a spoiled young master, and when conflicts arose, it was clear whose fault it was.
Su Chen nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
On the third day, Gong Shu not only came himself but also brought Xingyi with him to the camp.
Xingyi's right hand was bandaged, and he looked rather disheveled.
But his face still carried a hint of fierceness.
They wanted to make a big fuss, drawing the attention of the Ta He Sect's higher-ups.
The injury of the Elder's grandson required an explanation.
From dawn until noon, when he saw others arrive, Gong Shu's eyes lit up.
The newcomer was Wang Shanlin, the commander of the First Battle Team.
The First Battle Team was directly under the Ta He Sect, so Wang Shanlin was not only a commander but also an Elder of the Ta He Sect.
"Gong Shu, I heard you've been cursing here for several days. What's going on?"
Wang Shanlin's expression was calm, revealing little emotion.
"Elder Wang, you may not know, but this evil-doer from the Third Battle Team injured our Young Master Xingyi.
Look at his right hand; who knows how much it will affect his martial path in the future. The old slave had previously suggested to my master to assign a few powerful bodyguards for Xingyi.
But my master insisted that Xingyi would use the bodyguards to cause trouble.
Now it seems that causing trouble is better than having his hand broken.
It's better to let others get injured than for Young Master Xingyi to get hurt."
Hearing this, Wang Shanlin's lips curled into an unintentional smile.
He turned to look at the members of the Third Battle Team.
"Please bring Su Xing over. Rest assured, I'll handle this matter fairly."
