PDLP Chapter 291 She Wants to Gamble
Chapter 291 She Wants to Gamble
Yun Konghai's face stiffened. When he noticed that the other party had directly mentioned the wordless book, his heart skipped a beat, and some sweat appeared in a corner of his skin that was not easily visible. He quickly glanced at Gu Yun out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Gu Yun remained calm, Yun Konghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Gu Yun is unaware of the meaning behind the wordless book.
Knowing what the wordless book meant, Yun Konghai naturally assumed that no one would remain unmoved after hearing about it.
Unless he doesn't know anything about this treasure.
Without hesitation, Yun Konghai spoke calmly to Xiang Ling before Gu Yun could realize anything.
"The half of the blank book in your hand was a treasure that the Elven royal family had guarded for generations. Your parents betrayed the royal family and stole it without permission, which was a taboo. They deserved to die."
"But considering your youth and ignorance, it is indeed quite talented that you have cultivated to the ninth level of the Saint Body. Come back with me to apologize, otherwise, no matter how vast the world is, there will be no place for you."
"Give up, you're not me..."
"...their opponents."
In his view, as long as Gu Yun could subconsciously believe that this wordless book was the treasure of the Elf royal family, there wouldn't be any major problems.
First of all, this is the Elf Realm. Secondly, Yun Konghai's understanding of Gu Yun along the way confirmed that he had no sect or empire supporting him and was even unaware of many common sense facts. How could such a person dare to oppose the Elf Royal Family?
To Yun Konghai, Gu Yun was merely a pseudo-innate being with some tricks up his sleeve, and he cleverly placed Gu Yun on the opposite side of the other party.
Xiangling scoffed at this, showing no sign of panic in the face of multiple powerful opponents; instead, her eyes grew colder.
However, I didn't waste any words arguing with them; I just found it extremely ridiculous.
She brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and murmured to herself.
"Pity."
"Pity."
"It's such a pity that only three people came."
"I thought that a group of people would come when they learned that I was here."
"That's a bad deal to trade one for three."
"But there's nothing I can do if I've been discovered, Master. Your disciple needs to..."
Her gaze slowly swept past Xiao Liping behind her and shifted to the slightly conspicuous white-haired man beside her.
Suddenly stunned.
His expression became somewhat unnaturally serious.
This person is not of elven royalty...
This person looks somewhat familiar.
Xiangling frowned, stared at Gu Yun for a couple more moments, as if recalling something, then her eyes trembled slightly and her pupils suddenly contracted.
A complex expression appeared on Xiangling's face.
Although the hair color has changed, it's not a mistake.
This person was the one with whom he had a conflict after the auction.
Moreover, he defeated his master in just one exchange.
Could it be that he was the one who found me this temporary place to stay?
How is this possible...?
Isn't he in the human realm?
She knew that some powerful elves might have used their abilities to track her or placed tracking marks on her, and it was only a matter of time before they found her.
But I never expected that this person would be the first to find me, even though it involved a certain elven royal family member...
wrong!
How could he possibly associate with the Elven royal family...?
The woman he was looking for…
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiangling's mind, and then this thought grew bigger and bigger until it filled her entire mind.
Without further hesitation, she immediately put her idea into practice.
This idea even overturned her entire original plan.
It was less of a plan and more of a suicide mission.
A strange glimmer of brightness and determination flashed in those eyes, which were filled with death and hatred, completely piercing through them.
"Senior, I know the person you're looking for."
"I will tell you everything I know and take you to see her."
"Could you please kill him?"
"Don't worry, this kind of person has just as much blood on their hands as the villains. I can guarantee that you can take action without worry."
Upon hearing this, Yun Konghai's heart began to pound.
What is this woman saying?!
In fact, he knew from the beginning that the "grudge" between Gu Yun and the woman in front of him was not a big deal. It was just that Gu Yun was dissatisfied because he couldn't get any information about the woman in the drawing.
We were just talking back and forth without thinking too much about it.
Looking at it now, it's quite possible that the other party might tell Gu Yun some information she knows in exchange for Gu Yun's intervention, creating a three-on-one situation.
The situation instantly reversed, with the hunter and the prey switching roles.
But then I thought about it again and realized that was unlikely. In the fairy world, he would have more say than this woman when it came to making decisions.
So he raised his voice slightly, drowning out Xiang Ling, trying to guide Gu Yun's thinking in this way.
"Brother Gu, don't listen to her nonsense. She's an elf who's been away from home for many years. Even if she was once royalty, how could she possibly know much about my people?"
"Brother Gu, you can rest assured. My position in the Elven royal family is not low. After capturing this woman, I will definitely find the woman in the painting for you and let you meet her."
"I hope Brother Gu can lend me a hand."
Seeing that Gu Yun was still looking at her indifferently, Yun Konghai felt a weight lifted from her heart and secretly gloated, thinking that Gu Yun's choice was absolutely correct.
"Yunling, stop struggling. I know you might have some tricks up your sleeve, which is why you're so confident, but I advise you to just hand over the blank book obediently. It's no use."
This is also why Yun Konghai did not immediately take action.
The other party was so confident and fearless, and at the same time, he had half of the blank book in his hand. Although he did not believe that Yun Ling could use the blank book, it was hard not to think too much in this situation.
So just to be safe.
In this world, reckless people never have a good ending.
"I contacted the Elven royal family the moment I discovered you. This time, since you've walked right into our trap, I can only say you're smart to be so shrewd."
Of course, it would be best if Gu Yun could step in.
"You'd better just come with us."
"This Brother Gu is a distinguished guest of my Elf Royal Family. Don't even think about trying to sow discord between us."
Yunling smiled dismissively.
"Dignified guest?"
Do you know who the woman he's looking for is?
Two slightly more intelligent eyes never left Gu Yun, quietly waiting for Gu Yun's choice.
What she just said was not just an exchange of benefits, but also a ticket to future cooperation. She believed that Gu Yun could understand the meaning behind her words.
She had experienced a lot these past few days, understood a lot, and grown a lot. The man in front of her had such means to find her and to go from the peak of the Holy Body to the pseudo-innate level in such a short time. There was only one possibility.
That was Gu Yun before; he was already a pseudo-innate level cultivator, but he concealed his true status from the outside world.
If that's the case, she'll take the gamble. She'll gamble that Gu Yun can help her on her path to revenge, that Gu Yun has the ability, and that Gu Yun cares about that woman more than anything else.
Although she didn't understand why Yun Konghai seemed to know that Gu Yun was looking for that woman, yet he boasted that he could make the connection, it was absolutely impossible. That woman was appointed by the gods, and her importance was no less than that of the wordless heavenly book, unless one of the two people was lying.
She wants to gamble.
