Chapter 44: Jealousy! (Please read and vote)
Although they won the attack, it was only a miserable victory for Yudinglou. They suffered heavy losses and no one could be happy.

"Brother Luo, you can handle the rest of the matter. I won't get involved."

Old Man Mo shook his head, showing no intention of getting involved, and turned back to the carriage.

The steward Luo Sheng glanced at the extremely weak Yang Han, and then looked at Gu Yuan:
"Gu Yuan, right? You're quite good. Not only did you perform a great service for our Yuding Tower this time, but you also saved the Third Young Miss. When I return, I will report this to the Pavilion Master, who will surely reward you handsomely!"

As expected, I guessed right. Gu Yuan was as calm as an old dog in his heart, but on the surface he showed a look of surprise and joy. He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, butler!"

"Well, of course, that's something we'll do after we get back."

Luo Sheng nodded and said, "As for now, Gu Yuan and the Third Miss, since you two are basically unharmed, please come with me. Although most of the bandits in Black Wind Village have been eliminated, the remaining ones are still a hidden danger. We still need to eradicate them completely and eliminate the remaining bandits!"

He said solemnly, "Also, my Yuding Tower suffered heavy losses this time, and we need to use the savings from the Black Wind Village to make up for it."

I'm afraid the latter is your main purpose. Gu Yuan muttered to himself.

However, if he could go with him to Black Wind Village, he might be able to gain some benefits. Besides, he also has something to deal with.

So Gu Yuan naturally had no objection to this.

Yang Jianfei, who was silently treating his broken arm not far away, widened his eyes after hearing Luo Sheng's words. There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yuan, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth on his face.

Obviously, this peasant who had always been looked down upon by him was going to make a comeback from now on!
If it were just that, it would be fine. The key point is that this kid also saved the third lady Xia Xiuxue. Now he has been valued by the chief steward Luo Sheng. When he returns, he will definitely catch the eye of the Pavilion Master Xia Mingyang. What a great honor this is!

Yang Jianfei has good aptitude and is considered a rare martial arts genius. He is highly regarded by the elders in his family. He himself has a very high opinion of himself and is determined to become a congenital martial artist and even reach the realm of heaven and man!

Since he joined Yuding Tower, he has been highly valued. With the support of his uncle who is a deacon, his future is bright.

But now, a mere kid from a humble background has actually surpassed him, which made him a little unable to accept it for a while.

Why? !

My identity, background, and martial arts are all better than this kid's, and now this kid has gotten ahead of me!
Yang Jianfei was unwilling to give up, but when he saw his second uncle Yang Han couldn't even stand, slumped on the ground, with a pale face and knees crossed to heal his wounds, he suddenly fell silent.

Luo Sheng is the manager of Yuding Tower in Beiliang County, and he is also a congenital martial artist. Even his second uncle Yang Han doesn't dare to say anything, let alone himself?
Besides, my second uncle was seriously injured this time. If he can’t recover quickly, his position will be unstable, which will be a hindrance to me!
As soon as he thought of this, he began to think about making more contributions. He glanced at Gu Yuan, gritted his teeth, and saluted Luo Sheng with one arm, saying, "I also ask the steward to allow me to go to Black Wind Village so that I can also contribute my humble contribution!"

Luo Sheng glanced at his broken arm and nodded without saying anything, "Okay, then you can go with me."

Gu Yuan didn't know what was going on in Yang Jianfei's mind, but he noticed something was wrong with Yang Jianfei's eyes, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"Why does this guy look so weird? Could it be that he has bad intentions and is jealous of me?"

But he didn't take it to heart. He immediately looked at the long sword in his hand, which was corroded by the poison of the corpse flies, sighed, and threw it away.

"It's a pity that this good sword is useless."

They found a rather sharp sword on the ground. Just then, Luo Sheng called out to them, and they followed him to the Black Wind Village.

As for Old Man Mo and several other people who were seriously injured, they stayed where they were. On the way, Xia Xiuxue occasionally looked at Gu Yuan quietly, hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something.

This scene fell into Yang Jianfei's eyes, and he, who had always regarded Xia Xiuxue as his forbidden delicacy, felt extremely resentful. He felt as if his head was glowing green, and the look he gave Gu Yuan became somewhat unfriendly.

Did I dig up your ancestral grave or steal your wife? Is it necessary for you to look at me like this? Gu Yuan couldn't help feeling depressed and wondered if this guy had some problem with his brain.

After holding it in for a while, Xia Xiuxue finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

"Gu Yuan, you've only been practicing martial arts for a month, so why...why is your swordsmanship so skillful and exquisite?"

Before today, she actually didn't take Gu Yuan, the herbalist, seriously.

But Gu Yuan’s performance today was truly amazing!
Having only learned martial arts for less than a month, yet already performing so impressively, it was inevitable that she would be puzzled. However, the question was a bit abrupt, after all, it involved Gu Yuan's privacy. As soon as she asked it, she regretted it a little.

Just as I was about to tell Gu Yuan that he didn't need to explain, I saw Gu Yuan scratching his head, also looking puzzled:

"Perhaps it has something to do with my comprehension. When I first started practicing the Spirit Snake Sword Technique, I couldn't quite grasp the essence. But then I caught a snake and studied it day and night, and I made rapid progress, gaining a deeper and deeper understanding of this sword technique."

Catching snakes to watch?
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiuxue was stunned. Her bright eyes moved around Gu Yuan, and she was obviously a little unconvinced.

Even Luo Sheng and Yang Jianfei showed a strange look on their faces.

Many martial arts were created by senior masters through their observations of nature and various wild beasts and spiritual creatures. The method Gu Yuan mentioned does make some sense, and many people do this, so it is not a secret.

As for the effect?
If it really works, wouldn't the world be full of experts?
But it must be said that there are indeed some people with great understanding who have gained a lot, so what Gu Yuan said is indeed true.

But if what Gu Yuan said was true, doesn't it mean that his understanding is also extraordinary? !

Thinking of this, Yang Jianfei felt as if he had eaten fly shit, and felt extremely uncomfortable and disgusted.

Luo Sheng, on the other hand, looked at Gu Yuan deeply.

Black Wind Village was not far away. After walking along the mountain road for a while, they arrived halfway up the mountain.

On this relatively flat ground, a village was built with wood and stone, which looked quite rough and crude.

At this time, there was no one guarding the arrow tower at the entrance of the stronghold. There were even two corpses lying at the entrance, both with their heads and bodies separated. No one knew what had happened.

"It was Tiehu who did it, but he should have left already. He probably came back specifically to get some valuables. To prevent anyone from revealing his whereabouts, he chose to kill him to silence him."

Luo Sheng naturally had a very sharp eye. With just a glance, he was able to guess most of what had happened before through various clues.
