A Bet
"The Shui Clan sent them?"
Chu Xingyun's pupils constricted, his face turned cold as he said indifferently: "I didn't want to provoke the Shui Clan, but the Shui Clan provoked us. It seems that in their eyes, Chu Zhen is a soft persimmon that they can bully as they please!"
"Fortunately, we had Senior Yan's help that night, so the town didn't suffer too much damage. Now, that group of people has been imprisoned in the town's dark prison." Tiger Chu's eyes had a trace of coldness.
Ever since the rise of Chu Zhen, they had never targeted the Shui Clan.
But the Shui Clan had always seen Chu Zhen as a thorn in their side. They didn't hesitate to send so many experts to infiltrate Chu Zhen in the middle of the night, wanting to massacre him. Such a method was despicable and vicious.
"Let's go back to the town first." There were too many people here, so Chu Xingyun didn't want to talk too much. He walked out of the Hundred Treasures Building.
"Chu Patriarch!" After taking a few steps, the disheveled Gu Qing Shan walked over and said with a fawning face: "Last time, I was in the wrong. I hope Chu Patriarch can forgive me. I have already prepared a banquet, I hope Chu Patriarch can come to the Mayor's Mansion."
Hearing Gu Qing Shan's words, the crowd's eyes narrowed. Chu Xingyun was so powerful that he could make Gu Qing Shan take the initiative to set up a banquet to apologize. After this banquet, the Chu Clan would become one of the top clans in West Wind City.
However, Chu Xingyun shook his head and said: "Mayor Gu, I have already forgotten about what happened last time. You don't have to keep it in your heart. I still have things to do, so I will take my leave."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun left without looking back. The smile on Gu Qing Shan's face froze, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat. He never thought that his invitation would be rejected.
After leaving the Hundred Treasures Building, Tiger Chu explained everything that happened that night in detail.
During the time when Chu Xingyun was refining pills, the Chu Clan received the support of many clans. Only in the last few days did this wave of support dissipate.
The Shui Family made use of this opportunity to disguise themselves as bandits to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night.
But as soon as they attacked, they were discovered by Yan Du. He immediately released poison smoke to subdue them. Fortunately, Yan Du was skilled in poison arts. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have been able to avoid a bitter battle.
It didn't take long for Chu Xingyun's group of three to return to Chu Town. Yan Du had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Chu Xingyun, he hurriedly went up to greet him, "Master."
"You're injured?" Chu Xingyun's sharp eyes immediately noticed the thick bandages wrapped around Yan Du's shoulder.
"When I attacked a few days ago, there were too many enemies. It was inevitable for me to make some mistakes in my forceful charge. However, it's not a big deal." Yan Du waved his hand, his body still bowed.
A ripple appeared in Chu Xingyun's eyes as he looked at Yan Du. He took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Yan Du, saying, "These two bottles contain Gold Injury Pills. They specialize in treating external injuries. Take them."
"Gold Injury Pills!" Yan Du was stunned. He wasn't unfamiliar with this pill. It was the Hundred Treasures Building's signature pill. It was a second-grade pill. Once taken, external injuries would immediately scab over. It was a rare panacea.
Yan Du vaguely remembered that one Gold Injury Pill seemed to cost more than six thousand taels of silver. These two bottles …
"Senior Yan, since the young master has already given them to you, you should take them. These pills are nothing in the young master's eyes." Chu Hu chuckled and motioned for Yan Du to take them.
"Thank you, master." Yan Du knew that Chu Xingyun was unfathomable, so he didn't refuse. After carefully putting away the Gold Injury Pills, he led Chu Xingyun to the Black Prison.
Rumble!
The heavy door was opened with a loud bang, and a foul stench immediately assailed their nostrils.
The Black Prison hadn't seen sunlight for a long time. Under the illumination of the lights, the people inside closed their eyes. After adjusting, they found that there was an extra group of people in front of them.
"Chu Xingyun, you've finally appeared." A voice filled with hatred sounded. The speaker was none other than Shui Chongde.
At this moment, he was sitting on the ground, paralyzed. His eyes were like hooks as he stared at Chu Xingyun outside the cell. If it weren't for the fact that he had been poisoned by the Yan Poison and his body was weak, he probably would have directly charged over.
"You don't need to look at me like that. You only have yourselves to blame for falling into this situation today. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too arrogant and not putting Chu Town in your eyes." Chu Xingyun's voice was indifferent, and no one could feel the slightest emotion from it.
"All you did was win over Yan Du. Do you really think you're some big shot? If we weren't ambushed, your Chu Town would've been reduced to ruins long ago. A fox borrowing the tiger's might, what a joke."
Shui Chongde didn't hide the disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, Chu Xingyun was just lucky to win over an expert like Yan Du. Otherwise, he would've completed his mission long ago.
But disdain aside, Shui Chongde's view of Chu Xingyun had somewhat changed.
What kind of person was Yan Du? Everyone knew that he was aloof and unrestrained. Chu Xingyun was actually able to win him over. This was truly inconceivable.
What surprised him even more was that no one knew that Chu Xingyun had won over Yan Du. They had actually perfectly sealed off the news. How did Chu Xingyun do such a thing?
Chu Xingyun ignored Shui Chongde's curses, and said coldly, "I don't care what you think. I only want to know, sixteen years ago, your Shui Family cooperated with the Yunmeng Martial House to kidnap my parents. What was your goal?"
Shui Chongde's gaze tightened, and the mocking expression from before disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by deep astonishment. His eyes widened, as if he had heard something inconceivable.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Shui Chongde turned his head, but the expression on his face was enough to show the panic in his heart. He was completely dumbfounded.
"Your life is now in my hands. I advise you to cooperate obediently. Answer me, what is your goal?"
Chu Xingyun coldly shouted. His body suddenly emitted a vigorous spiritual energy, which landed on Shui Chongde's body. It actually made him tremble uncontrollably.
"I don't understand what you are talking about, and I don't know what your goal is. If you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please. I, Shui Chongde, will not blink an eye." Shui Chongde tightly clenched his teeth, unwilling to reveal anything.
Chu Xingyun coldly stared at Shui Chongde, and the expression on his face became even colder.
Suddenly, the aura on his body dissipated, and he faintly smiled, "Since you are so unyielding, then fine, let's make a bet."
Shui Chongde was stunned, "A bet?"
"It's very simple. I will detoxify the poison in your body, and you and I will fight. If you win, I will let you go, and I will not harm your life. If I win, you will tell me what happened sixteen years ago in detail. How about it?"
Chu Xingyun said unhurriedly. The instant he finished speaking, he glanced at Shui Chongde, and saw a trace of ecstasy on Shui Chongde's face.
