Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: Intentionally Wanting to See Us Get Hurt!
Hearing Su Tang’s words, Gu Qingyu’s face suddenly turned unsightly, flushed with anger, but even so, she couldn’t let An Jiuyue gain the upper hand.
“We might be nobodies, but what about that woman? What has she done anyway? Why does she get to be so carefree while we have to fight for our lives killing demonic beasts?
On our journey here, haven’t we helped you a lot too, killing plenty of demonic beasts?”
“Helped us, killing demonic beasts?”
Su Tang asked her with a light laugh, truly speechless at the woman’s words.
“So, starting from this moment, your group should stop following us, we don’t need your ‘help’,” he said, turning his head to address Brother Zheen with a cold voice.
Brother Zheen immediately stood up and politely addressed Su Tang, “Young Master Su, please don’t misunderstand. Junior Sister Qingyu does not speak for all of us. I never thought killing demonic beasts was helping you. Even without you, we would have to fight demonic beasts along the way. With your presence, we can save a lot of effort; it is you who have helped us, and I am more than grateful for that.”
Brother Zheen stood up at once, speaking with courtesy to Su Tang.
He was not like Gu Qingyu, who lacked foresight. Not to mention the many herbs they had gathered while following Su Tang, think about that boat.
The boat was under An Jiuyue’s control. Without her, they would all be stranded in the Zhedu Sea Area like savages.
“Junior Sister Qingyu, if you prefer to go back and continue being hung at the stern of the boat, or if you don’t want to go back at all, just say it. I, your Senior Brother, will have no objections,” he said, looking at Gu Qingyu with a heavy tone of warning.
“I…”
Thinking back to the days she had been hung at the stern, Gu Qingyu couldn’t help but shiver.
But remembering who had caused her to be in that situation, she took a deep breath to steady her mind and looked at Su Tang with a serious face.
“Are we wrong? The Princess Consort of the Second Rank could have used the Strangling Formation to kill all those demonic beasts. Why didn’t she? It’s deliberate, she deliberately wants to see us get hurt!”
Hearing this, Su Tang fell silent for a moment, thinking that this woman really was good at stirring up trouble.
He looked up, laughing lightly as he looked at Gu Qingyu.
“Miss Gu, do you think that if the Princess Consort used the Strangling Formation to strangle all of us, you would be happy? Satisfied? Feeling at ease?”
As he spoke, his piercing gaze swept over the guards who didn’t have the slightest bit of resolve and went weak at the sight of a woman.
“I…”
The color drained from Gu Qingyu’s face, as Su Tang’s words reminded her of something.
Could it be that An Jiuyue’s Strangling Formation could only strangle humans and had no effect on demonic beasts?
If that were the case, then she… she had no certainty at all, and any attempt to incite dissent would fail. Realizing this possibility, her complexion turned even darker.
Was she incapable of dealing with An Jiuyue? Was she?
“I was just… just thinking of everyone’s well-being. She’s so powerful and yet she can’t help at all?” she muttered under her breath, bowing her head in a show of weakness.
Indeed, An Jiuyue was so powerful, yet she never helped kill demonic beasts along the way. Wasn’t that a mistake?
Su Tang took a deep breath once more and walked towards Gu Qingyu. He reached out, lifted her by the arm and tossed her towards Brother Zheen and his group.
“Ah!”
Gu Qingyu screamed as she fell to the ground, the wound on her hand reopening and gushing blood, causing her to roll on the ground, clutching her hand and wailing in pain.
