Chapter 42 – Set off to the Northern Wilderness!
In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the treetops, spreading across the land.
The Qiong Feng Pavilion was bustling from early dawn.
Gu Xuanyuan had spent the night at the City Lord's mansion, and who knows what he and Gu Liantian had discussed.
At first light, he arrived with Zuo Yuan and Bai Yu in tow.
Gu Feng had been awake all night in his room, planning strategies for his upcoming journey to the Northern Wilderness.
Having achieved the Golden Core stage, he had long surpassed the need for food and sleep, but his constant thoughts left him somewhat weary.
As Gu Feng stepped out of his room and into the courtyard, the first person he saw was Fang Feixue.
"You didn't sleep at all last night?"
She was already prepared, with everything she needed stored in her bracelet, her green outfit highlighting her graceful and capable demeanor.
Gu Feng nodded, noticing Hou Yixiao ingratiating himself with Zuo Yuan with a sly grin.
This guy had changed into a gold-threaded Yin-Yang robe, his belly more pronounced, and his whisk replaced with a Yellow Rank cultivation artifact. It seemed he had been living quite comfortably at Qiong Feng Pavilion these past few months.
"I, Hou Yixiao, greet the Sequence!"
Seeing Gu Feng approach, Hou Yixiao hurriedly came forward to pay his respects.
Gu Feng rolled his eyes, placing a hand on Hou Yixiao's shoulder, and asked, "I heard you've been sneaking around behind Gu Chunfeng's partner from the Wang Family these days, claiming it's for the Royal Guards' business. Is that true?"
Finally, she mentioned Gu Kun, saying her stepson had recently changed drastically, eating raw meat daily like a wild beast, his eyes glowing green when looking at people.
She also mentioned her maid being bitten to death by Gu Kun, her body thrown into the Seven Kill Valley! Not even considering who the owner was when hitting a dog, and so on.
The most crucial intelligence was the Wang Family member revealing an important piece of information amidst her complaints: Gu Kun would become unbearably hot every day at noon, going into a frenzy at home, like he had a manic disorder! If he didn't consume human blood, he would be in unbearable pain!
The funniest part was, after saying all this, the Wang Family member swore that her husband had repeatedly warned her not to spread these matters outside, or she would be kicked out of the house.
Gu Feng chuckled silently, indeed, a troublesome woman can really mess things up!
"Must consume human blood at noon every day? This could be useful..."
Smirking, Gu Feng added another plan to his mind.
"Sequence, I wasn't lying, was I?" Hou Yixiao said smugly.
Gu Feng knew this guy still had plenty of personal motives, judging by the large amount of indecent footage of the Wang Family member in his Immortal Spirit Communication device. It seemed Gu Chunfeng, the old bastard, had already been cuckolded by Hou Yixiao!
But that was fine! Gu Feng was amused by the situation! After all, Gu Chunfeng had never shown him any mercy, and now, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction!
Hou Yixiao had indirectly avenged Gu Feng's grievances.
Of course, the means were indeed a bit despicable, not something to be encouraged.
"Alright, you pass!"
Gu Feng nodded and said, "Before you leave later, go to Manager Wu and collect ten medium-grade spirit stones as a reward!"
