Chapter 10 Cong Buqi
The Green Wolf Gang.
backyard.
In an elegantly furnished yet austere study, incense burner wafts smoke and sandalwood fragrance fills the air. A young man of about twenty, dressed in white, sits quietly at the desk, his slender fingers slowly turning the pages of an account book.
In front of the desk stood a burly man in his forties.
This man had a full beard and bulging muscles, making him look extremely fierce. But at this moment, he resembled a beast that had sheathed its claws, even his breathing was cautious.
He was none other than Xu Tian, the leader of the Green Wolf Gang.
Suddenly, the young man in white slammed the account book on the table, pointed at it, and asked, "Why is there a deduction here?"
Xu Tian was startled by the sudden commotion and quickly put on a smiling face to explain, "I recently took a concubine, which cost a little money. I will definitely make up for it later."
I don't want to meddle in your private affairs.
The white-robed youth's voice was icy and chilling: "But if your monthly allowance is reduced by even one coin, it will ruin a major event for my sect. You'd better find a place to bury yourself and not dirty my hands."
Xu Tian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I wouldn't dare! Not a single penny less!"
The young man in white lowered his eyelids slightly, ignored him, and continued to look through the account book.
Just then.
Suddenly a commotion arose outside, the clamor mingled with a sharp, angry shout from a woman.
"You, surnamed Xu, get out here."
Xu Tian froze, momentarily at a loss, standing there dumbfounded.
The young man in white raised an eyebrow, his tone growing increasingly cold: "What mess have you made this time? Go and deal with it! Don't bother me."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Xu Tian felt as if he had been granted a pardon, bowing his head and retreating repeatedly.
Only after stepping out of the study did he suddenly straighten his chest and his expression change—the fearful demeanor from before vanished instantly, replaced by a fierce look that exuded authority without anger.
He gripped the broadsword and strode into the front yard like a tiger emerging from the mountains.
Arrive at the front yard.
The courtyard was already in chaos, with several Green Wolf Gang disciples lying sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.
Three figures stood in the courtyard, one of whom was Wang Xiaomei, her hair standing on end in anger.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Tian's eyes, and he understood seven or eight parts of the situation.
He slammed his broadsword heavily onto the blue brick floor with a loud bang, his posture as straight as a pine tree, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Wang Xiaomei, you dare to bring people to cause trouble? If I had known this would happen, I would have taken you in as well. With your fiery temper, you'd be quite fun to train..."
Wang Xiaomei angrily retorted, "You surnamed Xu, where is my sister?"
Xu Tian laughed heartily, extremely arrogant: "Your sister is with me, so naturally she'll live a life of luxury, eating and drinking well. You don't need to worry about her."
At this moment, Gu Changfeng stepped forward slowly, his expression calm: "You are Xu Tian?"
"Boss, be careful, this is a tough one."
A member of the Green Wolf Gang standing nearby gave a trembling reminder.
Xu Tian snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping contemptuously over Gu Changfeng: "Hmph, you bunch of useless trash! You can't even beat a mere brat! What use are you?"
"Sigh, it seems you've lost your way of speaking properly?"
Gu Changfeng's expression remained unchanged; he simply sighed softly.
next moment.
He suddenly accelerated, his figure like a ghost, and in an instant he rushed in front of Xu Tian, the scabbard of his long sword gently protruding.
Xu Tian immediately clutched his stomach and knelt down.
"you--!"
"Snapped!"
Xu Tian was met with a heavy slap.
Gu Changfeng's voice was clear and calm: "Now, can't you speak properly?"
Xu Tian's mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't catch his breath and couldn't utter the word "will" for a long time.
"Oh, still dare to be stubborn?" Gu Changfeng said with a slight lift in his voice.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Several slaps followed one after another, making Xu Tian see stars. His cheeks were swollen like steamed buns. He staggered, clutching his head, his breath catching. He stammered, "Young hero... I was wrong... Please stop hitting me..."
"Can you speak properly now?"
"Yes, yes, yes... whatever you want to ask, I'll answer to the best of my knowledge..."
Gu Changfeng sneered: "I still prefer your arrogant attitude from just now."
Xu Tian hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I was just pretending."
Just as Gu Changfeng was about to ask about Wang Xiaomei's sister, an extremely cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Stop making so much noise, do you guys want to die?"
Upon seeing the young man in white appear, Xu Tian scrambled to his side, the man in his forties crying with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Young Master Cong, help me! They're trying to kill me..."
however.
The young man in white remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Gu Changfeng.
Upon seeing the young man in white, Gu Changfeng immediately smiled: "Oh, I knew it! A mere Green Wolf Gang dares to be so arrogant, not even daring to interfere with the government. So it turns out you're behind them—Senior Brother Cong!"
The young man in white was named Cong Buqi, and he was a disciple of the Sword Sect of the Huashan School.
In the original work, this person was of bad character and had harassed the injured Ning Zhongze in the Medicine King's Field, so Gu Changfeng had a very bad impression of him.
After mastering kung fu, I often went to him for forced "fortune telling".
But after beating him a few times, Gu Changfeng stopped.
Because at this time, Cong Buqi, though appearing aloof and taciturn and difficult to get along with, was actually kind-hearted, gentle, and knew how to treat people with propriety.
It is said that he was an abandoned baby found by Cai Qingyan in a patch of weeds, barely alive and on the verge of death. Seeing his hardship yet tenacity, Cai Qingyan adopted him and named him "Cong Buqi".
It symbolizes that amidst the flourishing of all things, one should not abandon one's destiny or give up one's will.
Cong Buqi asked coldly, "Gu Changfeng, what are you doing here?"
Gu Changfeng laughed and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
Cong Buqi frowned and said, "This is a matter for the Sword Sect, and has nothing to do with you."
Gu Changfeng smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? But I see that Senior Brother Cong's forehead looks rather dark; I'm afraid he may face some bloodshed today!"
Cong Buqi: "..."
He remained silent for a moment, seemingly used to it, then silently drew his sword: "Junior Brother Gu, please enlighten me!"
Gu Changfeng tilted his head, gestured to Xu Tian, and said, "Deal with his matter first, then I'll determine how much bloodshed you need to shed."
Cong Buqi frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Xu Tian, and coldly asked, "What did you do?"
Xu Tian vaguely recounted how he took Wang Xiaomei as his concubine, but in his version, the two were truly in love.
To prove his point, he kicked the henchman next to him, saying, "Hurry up and go fetch the Third Madam."
Before long, a young girl dressed in red and green cotton clothes and heavily made up walked over gracefully; she was none other than Wang Xiaomei's younger sister.
Upon seeing Xu Tian's miserable state, she cried out, "Brother Tian! What happened to you? Who hit you?"
Gu Changfeng muttered, "To be able to recognize someone with such a pig-like face, it seems like true love."
The girl looked around and, seeing Wang Xiaomei, immediately said with disdain, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Xiaomei asked with concern, "Little sister, are you alright?"
"What could I possibly want? You reek of poverty and squalor, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
"You...you've become like this?"
Wang Xiaomei stood there, stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief, as if the person in front of her was not her sister.
At this moment, Cong Buqi spoke up: "Take him away quickly, the matter is already very clear."
Xu Tian immediately did as instructed.
Gu Changfeng remained silent throughout, and only after everything had settled did he say to Cong Buqi, "Now that his matter is resolved, it's your turn."
Cong Buqi was taken aback: "You're going to take action against this farce?"
Gu Changfeng snorted coldly: "Hmph, I said you were going to have a bloody disaster today, so blood must be shed."
Cong Buqi's lips twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke, his tone pleading: "Could you please not slap my face? I don't want Master to see it..."
"Enough talk, draw your sword."
"good!"
Without further hesitation, Cong Buqi drew his longsword with a clang and thrust it straight at Gu Changfeng's heart.
Just as it was about to pierce Gu Changfeng, the sword tip suddenly turned, instantly transforming into countless sword shadows, making it impossible to defend against.
Gu Changfeng's gaze was icy, and his sword was not even drawn; he merely tapped it lightly.
"when--!"
The two swords clashed.
The long sword in Cong Buqi's hand flew out.
Followed by.
Gu Changfeng used his longsword as a staff and lashed out fiercely, aiming for fleshy areas like the arms, thighs, and buttocks.
While dodging, Cong Buqi shouted, "Hey, you surnamed Gu, don't go too far!"
The pain is secondary; the main problem is the embarrassment.
Gu Changfeng tightened his grip, coldly saying, "A disciple of the prestigious Huashan Sect, colluding with gangs to oppress the common people? Is this how Uncle Cai taught you to be a decent human being?"
