Chapter 1660: No One But the Revered Master Can Stir Trouble
“Keep your people in check. If there’s a next time, death!” Su Tang coldly warned Brother Zheng and the others.
He couldn’t understand why he had ever thought to bring these people along in the first place. This… it seemed it wasn’t his own idea but King Qian’s. Could it be just for the sake of entertainment along the journey?
“Understood.”
Brother Zheng replied, glancing briefly at Gu Qingyu, who was messed up from the fall.
Not a single person stepped forward to help Gu Qingyu up as she rolled on the ground. In their eyes lay nothing but disdain and revulsion towards her.
It was already a favor from Qian Jiyun that they were able to come to the Zhedu Sea Area, yet they still had to deal with this. They truly didn’t want to converse with Gu Qingyu anymore.
“Brother Zheng, the meat is ready. Come and eat,” said the other brothers who were roasting meat, without giving Gu Qingyu a glance, beckoning to Brother Zheng and company.
“Coming.”
Xuanyuan Zimo responded, pulling Brother Zheng away, without any intention of helping Gu Qingyu up or taking her with them.
“You, you…”

Gu Qingyu watched them leave with wide eyes, fuming inside.
She bit her lip, covered her wounded hand, and struggled up from the ground. She staggered after Brother Zheng and his group towards the fire. Halfway there, she turned to look at An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun, grinding her teeth in secret.
Brother Zheng, walking ahead, sensed the woman’s gaze from behind and swiftly turned around. He reached out and grabbed Gu Qingyu’s uninjured hand, pulling her forward.
“Speak nonsense again, and not even the Great Elder will be able to save you!” he lowered his voice and warned in Gu Qingyu’s ear.
“I…”
“From now on, you stay by my side. Do not leave. If you go over to them again…” Brother Zheng didn’t feel like listening to whatever she had to say, his cold eyes flickering darkly.
“I’ll personally report to the Revered Master about what you’ve done recently. The people from the Xiang Dynasty aren’t so easily offended. Even the Revered Master wouldn’t provoke them lightly.”
“You…”
Gu Qingyu opened her mouth, but all the curses she wanted to hurl had to be swallowed down.
She could order everyone around, but she dared not do so with Brother Zheng. He was likely to inherit the mantle from the Revered Master, so in the Sect, no one besides the Revered Master could afford to provoke him.
“Did you hear me?”
Seeing that Gu Qingyu was silent, he raised his voice and asked.
“I heard you.”
Gu Qingyu closed her eyes and responded.
It’s just one woman. What’s so hard about offending her? Couldn’t Brother Zheng see? Even the guards have their objections to An Jiuyue, don’t they?
One day, she will settle this score.
…
“It seems like bringing them along was a mistake,” sighed An Jiuyue, supporting her chin with one hand as she observed Brother Zheng’s group.
“I don’t understand why we brought them with us. An Jiuyue, what were you thinking at the time?” Zhan Beiye had already taken a seat next to her, propping his forehead and asking her.
“I thought since they’ve been roaming the Jianghu all year round, they might be more familiar with the Zhedu Sea Area, who knew…” An Jiuyue shook her head.
Who knew that besides causing them trouble, these people would be good for nothing else.
Oh, they did collect quite a few herbs along the way, but she didn’t care for those herbs.
“Just don’t let them on the boat when we go back,” Qian Jiyun said softly.
