Chapter 37 What Complaint Does the White Deer Have?

"In just a few days, your sword energy has managed to injure me to this extent. Although it was thanks to the power of the spirit sword, you've done quite well."

The martial arts skills of the Purple Ribbon and Green Seal are like the Sword God of Shili Slope, which require painstaking practice. One should not leave the mountain until one has mastered them, otherwise all previous efforts may be wasted.

Otherwise, this martial art, which guarantees a minimum level of six, wouldn't be so unpopular in White Deer Cave.

Gu Yin crouched down, gripped the slippery hilt of the sword, and aimed the blade at Su Che's throat.

"To die at the hands of your own men, don't you have anything to say?"

"..."

Su Che moved his mouth and spat out a piece of bloody internal organ.

"What did you say?"

Gu Yin chuckled coldly, suddenly finding himself with a newfound patience to listen.

"Now that things have come to this, can you tell me why all of this happened? I need to die with the truth in my heart."

Rain fell, dark clouds swirled, and Gu Yin slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Well, what's the harm in telling him now that things have come to this?

"Everyone has their own destiny. Our Confucian lineage has cultivated to the sixth level, which is called 'observing qi.' This allows us to discern fortune and misfortune and judge destiny. Your original destiny was what is known as the 'Hua Gai' destiny."

Gu Yin looked quite regretful: "This kind of destiny is suitable for entering the Buddhist order. Whether you seek Buddhism or Taoism, you can achieve something. It's just a pity that your destiny suddenly changed a few months ago and became the destiny of the Azure Dragon of the Six Directions. This is the destiny of a tyrant in the human world."

"So, the reason I was targeted by White Deer Cave is because of this destiny?"

"Indeed, everything that happened before was the result of arrangements made by this academy."

Su Che had already heard this news from Zhong Yuan.

He simply didn't want to believe the rumors coming from that mysterious Zhongyuan.

Now that he had finally received confirmation from the disciples of White Deer Cave, Su Che didn't know whether he should feel relieved or feel a chill run down his spine.

His rival was Bailudong Academy, one of the four great Confucian academies, renowned throughout the world.

"Just because of a vague and uncertain destiny?"

"The concept of destiny is not something unfounded. The art of observing qi is a way to predict the future. Young Master Su, why don't you think about yourself? Born into an official family, you possess considerable talent. If you also have an extraordinary mind and a bit of good fortune, how far will you grow?"

"Wouldn't it be good to have one more overlord who can control the entire universe?"

"Young Master Su, think about it, what does this so-called era of great competition and brilliant heroes mean for ordinary people?"

For heroes, chaos is a stage, but for ordinary people, chaos is the end of the world.

Without the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of Han would have been nothing more than a village head, and Xiang Yu would still have been forced into exile.

Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, fought a desperate battle with his back to the river, and the prisoners were buried alive at Xin'an, preventing countless young men from returning home.

Emperor Gaozu of Han destroyed Qin in two years and Chu in four years.

While they swept across the land, how many famous ministers, generals, soldiers, and laborers lost their lives?

Emperor Gaozu of Han was a man of great integrity who was indifferent to right or wrong, while Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu, was an extraordinary man who roamed the world.

Alongside their great achievements are the countless remains of ordinary people.

Xing, the people suffer.die, the people suffer.

"The world has already become like this, is it even worth trying to fix it up?"

Su Che wanted to laugh, to laugh so hard that he felt like his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys would all come out.

The reason given, Bailudong, is absolutely ridiculous.

Many things in this world come at a price. Just because some people will die as a result, does that mean we shouldn't do them?

Indeed, rebelling against Qin would result in death. But if we don't rebel against Qin and fight for the throne, will the people be able to live in a peaceful and prosperous land under the rule of the emperor?
Shit.

"Our Bailudong lineage follows the teachings of Master Hengqu and is dedicated to protecting the destiny of humanity. Young Master Su, you were born at the wrong time. If you had been born hundreds of years ago, we, the disciples of Bailudong, would naturally have followed you to achieve great things. But now, it's a pity."

"Brother Gu, open your eyes and take a look. You don't need to look too far, just look at Shanyin County and Guobei County. What kind of destiny is this? Is this the destiny that your White Deer Cave is protecting?"

Gu Yin fell silent for a moment. He had considered what Su Che had mentioned before.

"Though the road is long, you will not arrive if you do not walk."

Su Che chuckled.

"Does Bailudong Hospital really enjoy acting like a father to everyone in the world?"

Gu Yin's face darkened, and raindrops streamed down his face.

"Even on the verge of death, he remains sharp-tongued; young master, you truly haven't changed your nature."

"You're too kind." Su Che shouted with all his might, "Hey, you're not up to it, hurry up and take over, or you'll be a widow."

Gu Yin felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly turned around, his bronze short sword pointing straight ahead.

The enormous white phantom arrived silently, riding the wind and thunder, its pair of sharp claws striking directly at his chest.

finally come.

What a big dog.

Su Che closed his eyes with satisfaction.

A giant fox gently shook the blood off its paws.

Her entire body was covered in silver hair, and there seemed to be ghostly flames burning in her blue eyes. Her body was nearly two zhang long, and from her waist down, it was composed of a cloud of mist that shimmered with light.

"Alas, as the saying goes, a night of marriage brings a hundred nights of kindness. Although my cheap husband is quick and useless, it hurts me to see him like this."

Needless to say, the giant fox that arrived was none other than Qingqiu's true form.

The Cloud Fox, a rare species renowned throughout the ten continents of the East Sea.

Without making a sound, Gu Yin took out a jade hairpin from his sleeve and stabbed it straight into his chest, near his heart meridian.

“The piercing blood technique can indeed stabilize your injuries, but after a quarter of an hour, you will be back to normal.”

Qingqiu stuck out its tongue and groomed its fur.

"bring it on."

Gu Yin's expression remained unchanged as he slowly extended both palms.

With the power of twelve perfected beings channeled into the Four Directions Palm of the True Domain, Gu Yin was met by a cloud fox's claw, and flew out horizontally.

"You're pretty stupid. The Purple Ribbon and Green Seal technique is such a useless skill that it should have been phased out long ago. You've been holed up at home for decades and only managed to reach the sixth rank. How can you compare to someone who trained on the edge of a knife to reach the sixth rank?"

The cloud fox pounced forward, its paw nimbly pressing down on the jade hairpin on Gu Yin's chest, as if it were a human hand.

"A piercing stab, a fleeting moment of light, the jade hairpin detached from the body, the soul scattered and gone." Qingqiu coldly looked at Gu Yin: "Before I pull it out, do you have anything else to say?"

"The Vast Heaven..."

puff.

The little fox pulled out the jade hairpin.

"You're so naive, and you don't believe me. That bastard lied to you so many times just to wait for me to come. Even if you talk until the end, you can't make him angry. Sigh, you're all so clueless."

The cloud fox slowly walked to Su Che's side and patted his face with its paw.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't die!"

"Can't die."

Su Che spat out a mouthful of blood: "The effects of the Golden Elixir haven't dissipated yet; it won't be that easy to take my life."

"I know you're amazing."

The little fox raised its head and lifted Su Che onto its back.

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest."
