The change of events in Southwest Road, frankly, is somewhat ridiculous.
The Gu Sword Gate, knowing full well his fifth uncle's ambition, betrayal of his brother and the Gu family, as the new head of the Gu family, the brother of the deceased head, could have easily eliminated him.
He only needed to raise his voice, and even as an elder of the Gu family, the Fifth Master Gu would have been doomed.
But what happened?
Knowing that his brother was killed by the conspiracy of Yan Bie Tian and the Gu Fifth Master, who are still eyeing the Gu family, he refused to act. He waited until the day of the Yan family and Gu family marriage, dragging his brother, Gu Luo Li's, body to confront them?
Does he really think that a powerful figure like Yan Bie Tian would regret it just by seeing a dead body?
His brother, Gu Luo Li, couldn't even rest in peace. He was dug up by the North Li Eight Princes and the Gu Sword Gate, exposed to all the guests from Southwest Road at the Yan family wedding.
Do they not know how to write the four words: "Rest in Peace"?
“Understood, cousin. I’ll pass it on.”
Bai Li Dong Jun expressed his understanding. Wen Nan Tian’s words had been clear enough. He wasn’t truly a complete fool, naturally knowing that he shouldn’t get involved in the Yan family's mess.
“But you can tell them that if they want to kill Yan Bie Tian, there’s no need for so much roundabout maneuvering.”
“Huh?!”
“No... no, cousin, you wouldn’t...”
Bai Li Dong Jun, as if realizing something, looked at Wen Nan Tian with wide eyes, “Cousin, you... you’re going to... going to act against Yan Bie Tian?!”
“That killer named Kui Zheng, without any reason, attacked me. That’s the first offense. Last night, there were two consecutive waves of assassins trying to kill you. That’s the second offense.”
Seeing Bai Li Dong Jun's surprised look, Wen Nan Tian sneered, “Just based on these two points, I didn’t contact the Wen family and the West Town Marquis’s Mansion to raze the Yan family to the ground, only because I’m kindhearted and don’t want to involve the innocent.”
“Dong Jun, your heart is not in the Jianghu, even though your body is. That’s not good.”
Wen Hu Jiu saw his nephew’s confusion and advised him, “The Jianghu is about seeking revenge and enjoyment, not like the court where you need evidence and formalities. Sometimes, you don’t need so many plots and scheming.”
Speaking of this, Wen Hu Jiu looked down on the North Li Eight Princes, “Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan have been in Tian Qi City for too long, they’ve inevitably been infected by the court’s air. They are always looking before and after when doing things.”
“Actually, this is very simple.”
“The assassins sent by Yan Bie Tian attacked Nan Tian, repeatedly trying to kill you to silence you, this is an undeniable fact. No matter if they succeed or not, he has to bear the consequences.”
“The consequences are that your cousin will go and kill him. If Yan Bie Tian can withstand it, then it’s fine. If he can’t, then he can’t blame anyone.”
Wen Hu Jiu slowly revealed a different Jianghu to Bai Li Dong Jun.
...
Outside the Dong Gui Wine Tavern.
“How about it, did your cousin agree?”
Si Kong Chang Feng greeted Bai Li Dong Jun as soon as they came out.
“No.”
Bai Li Dong Jun shook his head. He looked at Si Kong Chang Feng and asked a serious question, “Si Kong Chang Feng, if you were the one to snatch the bride, what could you get?”
“Me? I can die for you!!”
“I’m serious.”
Si Kong Chang Feng looked serious, “Why do you think I’m not being serious?”
He, a Jin Gang Fan Jing, going to snatch the Yan family's bride, what else could he do besides die?
“Like this ah~!”
Bai Li Dong Jun seemed to have a deeper understanding of his cousin's thoughts. He didn’t hide anything and told Si Kong Chang Feng what Wen Nan Tian had said, “That’s it. My cousin doesn’t like the plan to snatch the bride, and he doesn’t intend to participate.”
“But I can feel that he’s also moved to kill Yan Bie Tian.”
“Oh...”
Si Kong Chang Feng nodded, then he realized, “That’s not strange. It shows that your cousin treats you very well, and he’s taking revenge for you. Didn’t he warn Lei Meng Sha last night? Yan Bie Tian's life is his.”
“Right.”
Bai Li Dong Jun suddenly woke up. He clapped his hands and said, “Forget it, let’s go and tell Lei Meng Sha and the others what my cousin said. This matter has nothing to do with us!”
......
While Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were preparing to find Lei Meng Sha.
Unbeknownst to them, Lei Meng Sha was meeting with some familiar people.
The Elegant Gentleman, Xiao Ru Feng, the Minister’s Son, Xie Xuan, and the Cloud Reaching Gentleman, Gu Jian Men, who had recovered most of his strength after a night of breathing exercises, were discussing the plan to snatch Yan Liu Li and Wen Nan Tian.
“This little brother named Wen Nan Tian is very confident!” Xie Xuan looked at Lei Meng Sha with surprise. This guy never gave up, but he would come to discuss strategies. This shows that the other person is not simple.
Gu Jian Men hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, “This person’s strength is unfathomable. I suspect that he has already stepped into the Fuyau Jing. If what the second brother said is true, he may even have the potential to reach the Great Xiaoyao.”
A dry branch defeated him and Su Mu Yu together.
Wen Nan Tian left a very deep impression on Gu Jian Men.
Xiao Ru Feng pondered for a moment, “The Sword Immortal’s methods, if not Great Xiaoyao, it’s probably close. Such a person would kill Yan Bie Tian, even saying that we Eight Princes can work together to stop him, it shows his confidence.”
Lei Meng Sha shrugged, with an expression that indeed this was the case, “The biggest problem now is, will he agree to our request and help us complete Yan Liu Li’s snatching plan.”
“No!”
“Impossible.”
Xie Xuan and Xiao Ru Feng spoke in unison.
“Why?”
Lei Meng Sha scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Among the people they knew and were in Southwest Road, who had a family background that didn’t fear the Yan family and had extraordinary skills, and could snatch the bride at the Yan family wedding, besides Wen Nan Tian, he couldn’t think of anyone else.
“Idiot!”
Xiao Ru Feng laughed and scolded, and asked, “You’re only thinking about these problems. Have you ever thought, he’s the young master of the Wen family, stepped into the Xiaoyao Tianjing at a young age, a suspected Sword Immortal, why would he sacrifice his reputation to help us snatch this bride?”
“No benefit, only harm.”
Xie Xuan also laughed and continued, “He’s not a fool.”
“You still know that as the North Li Eight Princes, if we snatch the bride, it will damage our reputation. He just entered the Jianghu, and he needs to make a name for himself. If he causes this snatching incident, not to mention his reputation, even the Wen family’s face will be lost.”
These words made Lei Meng Sha speechless.
