Chapter 243 Light-Speed Peace Agreement
Lin Hu's attitude at this moment underwent a complete and dramatic change.
His former arrogance had vanished, replaced by an almost humble demeanor.
It was as if the person standing in front of Gu Yun was no longer a powerful and intimidating representative of the Heavenly Blade Pavilion, but a servant who was always ready to serve.
His tone was gentle and his expression respectful, as if he was trying his best to salvage his previous lapse in composure.
Gu Yun looked at the person in front of him who had suddenly changed, and felt a bit surprised.
Lin Hu is, after all, a half-step Innate Realm expert. Logically speaking, such an expert should have his own unique demeanor. Besides, he only used the power of 'Demonic Might' to intimidate these people. Why are they so cowardly?
To be honest, in most cases like this, Gu Yun would just scare them to establish his authority. As long as they stopped bothering him, he wouldn't say much even if they parted ways with him.
After all, there are many blind people. If you take people's lives for every little thing, you probably can't kill them all.
Seeing that he had already said that, Gu Yun responded indifferently.
“Gu”.
"Gu?"
Lin Hu frowned slightly. He couldn't recall any hegemonic forces with the surname "Gu," at least not among the prominent forces of the Star Alliance.
Could it be that Gu Yun is backed by some hidden sect?
However, he didn't have time to delve into these matters further; the current situation required him to react immediately.
Lin Hu quickly turned around, waved his hand at Liu, who was lying on the ground, and gestured to the other two stunned fellow disciples.
"Cough cough!"
Lin Hu cleared his throat, his deep voice filled with imposing authority.
"Quick, pull him away, and you all find some empty seats!"
Under his command, the two men quickly reacted and dragged the unconscious Junior Brother Liu to the other side of the restaurant. They were clearly flustered and their movements were rough, after all, it was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.
All the patrons in the restaurant had their mouths slightly open, as if they were in a dream.
Lin Hu picked up the wine bowl again and respectfully handed it to Gu Yun, his eyes showing a hint of unease and tension.
"Young Master Gu, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us. We're just a small town, we were blind."
Lin Hu's smile was somewhat forced as he tried to ease the tension, but the nervousness in his heart remained.
Gu Yun didn't pay much attention to Lin Hu's explanation and said indifferently.
“You don’t have to do that. Since you know this road is blocked, you can just take a detour.”
"I didn't mean to take your lives, otherwise your junior brother wouldn't have just fainted."
"Is not it?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lin Hu quickly replied, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
However, he did not leave, because he had a mission on his way here, and Gu Yun, this powerful outsider, had a profound influence on him regardless of his purpose. He had to figure out the other party's attitude.
If it were due to his own pressure, it wouldn't be worth mentioning, and he wouldn't care too much. But now that their positions have changed, he has to consider it more carefully. He still held the bowl and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness. I wonder if Young Master Gu's purpose in coming here is also the Titan Realm? After all, judging from your cultivation and age, you must come from a prominent family. To come to this barren place, you must be on your way to Titan to seek opportunities."
Xiao Li, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lin Hu, and sighed inwardly: If this person were born on Earth, he probably wouldn't be doing so badly.
Gu Yun slowly took the wine bowl. Since they were already in such a state, he figured he might as well say a few more words. He knew perfectly well what was behind those words, and chuckled as he spoke.
"Don't worry, I don't care that much about rare and precious treasures. We have other important matters to attend to on this trip and will not interfere with you."
Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, Lin Hu's tone became noticeably more respectful, which precisely indicated that he felt much more at ease at this moment.
"No, no. Although our Heavenly Blade Pavilion also participates in the competition for the Heavenly Treasures, we naturally dare not confront a dominant force head-on if it intervenes. We are just trying our luck."
"It's mainly because of our Heavenly Blade Pavilion. After all, it's the leading sect in this star field. We've been to Titan many times and are very familiar with the surrounding environment. Originally, if you were also planning to go to Titan..."
"I am willing to guide you two on this trip, since you are outsiders. I guess you came here based on the map and intend to go to Titan based on the map coordinates, but these coordinates are not easy to find."
He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and continued.
"If you want to go to Titan, you need to cross the interdimensional gap. Because the space is very unstable, even a person who has just entered the Holy Body may cause the space to break and turbulence to erupt if they make the slightest movement. Therefore, blindly looking for the coordinates recorded on the map is not a good choice."
Gu Yun didn't seem surprised to hear this; he had indeed considered it before.
In such an unstable space, without 100% constant coordinates, he nodded calmly, his tone indifferent and concise.
"You're right. Although it's not for rare and precious treasures, we do intend to go to Titan. Can you guarantee we'll arrive safely?"
Seeing that Gu Yun intended to travel with him, Lin Hu smiled even more eagerly. If Gu Yun's replies from beginning to end were not lying, then it was the best outcome for him. It wasn't for the sake of the rare treasures of heaven and earth, but it also meant having a powerful expert with unfathomable strength traveling with him, making the journey even safer.
"Of course, no problem. I could reach Titan with my eyes closed. The only problem is that there might be large rockfalls along the way, which could endanger the lives of those who are slightly weaker."
As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to Xiao Li, who was standing next to Gu Yun. Lin Hu could naturally tell that Xiao Li was not even a Saint Body.
Gu Yun took a sip of wine nonchalantly and said.
"You don't need to worry about that, you just need to lead the way."
Lin Hu made no attempt to hide his joy, poured himself a bowl of wine, and raised it to Gu Yun with both hands.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Gu. It is my great honor to serve you."
Gu Yun smiled calmly, his eyes showing little emotion.
"Excuse me."
Gu Yun looked up at the door and saw that this inconspicuous star had many more visitors now. His tone carried a hint of something unusual.
"We each have our own purposes. The trip to Titan was just a journey to cross the interdimensional gap and wait until we arrived at Titan..."
Seeing that Gu Yun had accepted his suggestion, Lin Hu quickly answered.
"That's fine, that's fine, I promise it won't interfere with your schedule."
