I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 128: Now that things have come to this...

"Ah? Oh...you have something to say?"

The two Bai family elders quickly snapped out of their daze, a strange sense of tension washing over them, making their breathing quicken slightly.

Gu Heng nodded indifferently, without any extra expression.

But even so, his calm and expressionless face made Bai Chong feel uneasy, especially since Gu Heng was holding that nine-lived demon cat in his arms, a cat whose mere presence could crush him. It was truly a lot of pressure.

Therefore, whatever Gu Heng is about to say, the two of them have to listen very carefully.

If he were to lose focus even for a moment, that cat might come after him. Gu Heng gently patted Su Jinxi's head before slowly saying, "You two, you've come for your family's young lady, haven't you?"

coming!

This senior had indeed seen through their purpose in coming all the way from Baidi Prefecture.

After all, for such a powerful individual, understanding the two of them would be incredibly easy.

Bai Chong and Bai Mo exchanged a glance.

“I am not, but he is.”

Bai Mo pointed directly at Bai Chong, his face clearly saying, "This guy has nothing to do with me."

He doesn't pretend anymore.

The Bai family wanted to take their young lady back and confine her to her home, and Bai Chong was the one who completely obeyed the family's orders.

Originally, Bai Mo was on Bai Feier's side. He had been slacking off and not doing any work along the way, just to buy Bai Feier time and get her away. But now that Bai Feier had secured the protection of Senior Gu, the Bai family would have no chance of taking her away, no matter how hard they tried.

Bai Chong was greatly alarmed at this moment.

Oh no, Bai Mo is trying to sell him out!

When Bai Chong saw Gu Heng's indifferent gaze fall on him, he froze.

The aura emanating from this reclusive master is extraordinary!

That nine-lived demon cat displayed absolute suppression in terms of cultivation level.

Although no trace of cultivation could be sensed from Gu Heng, his mere glance felt as if some supreme power pierced the heavens and descended upon him, a weakling as insignificant as a grain of sand.

It's so oppressive!

"Oh..." Gu Heng nodded.

Hmm, this seems interesting.

He remembered Bai Mo. This old servant was very old and a mortal, but Bai Feier respected him very much.

Look at how unwilling he is...

Yes, it must have been the Bai family who forced him out, and then tried to appeal to his emotions to persuade Bai Feier to go back!

As for the guy next to him named Bai Chong, he was probably there to supervise. Since Bai Mo and Bai Feier have a good relationship, it would be awkward if Bai Mo tried to persuade Bai Feier to run further away.

Once Gu Heng thought about it, his mind became crystal clear.

"Old Mr. Bai Chong, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

He stroked Su Jinxi's silver fur and said calmly.

Immediately, Bai Chong chuckled dryly and nodded hastily, his speed leaving Bai Mo speechless.

"Please enlighten me, Young Master Gu."

Gu Heng found his expression amusing.

This old man is quite comical.

"First of all, your Bai family didn't consider things carefully enough. How could you make such a hasty decision about her marriage without even consulting her?"

It's not just a lack of thoughtfulness, it's downright heartless.

But Gu Heng was too embarrassed to say anything so harsh.

Uh... well...

Bai Chong's face stiffened slightly. He looked at Bai Mo and then at Gu Heng, speechless.

Because they really didn't consider Bai Feier's opinion.

They've all become useless; it's difficult to even find a family willing to take her in as a relative, let alone ask her if she's willing.

Bai Chong didn't think the Bai family had done anything wrong. Family interests came first, and they hadn't expected Bai Feier to regain her peak strength after losing all her cultivation, which had now created an awkward situation.

Moreover, even if he had a thousand lives, he wouldn't dare to talk back after being reprimanded by Senior Gu.

"Don't panic, I didn't mean anything by it. Of course, I understand that the Bai family wants to take her back, but forcing them might not end well."

Gu Heng knew very well that even though the Bai family was a behemoth, if Bai Feier was really determined not to listen to their arranged marriage, then in the end no one would be willing to back down, and the result would inevitably be a lose-lose situation!

Bai Feier directly drew her sword and slit her own throat to prove her innocence; he felt this was entirely possible.

In the end, Bai Feier died, and the Bai family lost a good girl.

A classic lose-lose situation.

Admittedly, he knew that he was just a clinic owner, while the Bai family was a legitimate clan, and it was said that the clan leader himself was so powerful that he could move mountains and seas. Gu Heng felt that the Bai family would definitely not take his words seriously.

After saying this, he put Su Jinxi on the ground and gestured for her to go play by herself.

But she obediently lay down at his feet, her eyes growing colder.

The white gun was now so stiff it looked like it wasn't alive.

Finish.

Senior Gu has already put it this way.

It's clear they're not giving us any room to maneuver!

What does it mean that "forcing things might not end well"?

Isn't it obvious that if the Bai family dares to use force, this reclusive expert will directly take action and teach the Bai family a painful lesson?

Moreover, he doesn't even need to take action himself; the demonic cat at his feet alone is enough to make the Bai family suffer! This Senior Gu may look young, but he is definitely a powerful being who has lived for thousands of years. He's just pretending to be young. Whatever he says is law.

"Young Master Gu, in that case..."

Bai Chong was sweating profusely, and the wrinkles on his forehead were almost piled up together.

Bai Mo was secretly laughing to himself.

Hmph, with Senior Gu backing you up, you bunch of people still think you can order Miss around like that?

That's impossible!

"Hey, I was just saying it offhand. Whatever you think, I can't stop you."

Gu Heng took a sip of tea, waved his hand, and seeing how nervous Bai Chong was, the old man probably thought he was going to harm him.

Is it really impossible to stop it?

Bai Chong could only force a smile, not daring to utter a single unnecessary word. If he did, the demon cat would soon be using him for a meal.

But now that Bai Chong has arrived, they can't just not even see Bai Feier, can they? It would be difficult to explain back home like that. Besides, with such a powerful figure protecting Bai Feier, the Bai family can't possibly get away with it.

"Young Master Gu, could you please have Miss come out and meet us?"

Bai Chong hesitated for a long time before daring to ask the question.

Since we can't resort to force now, we can only try to reason with them and appeal to their emotions.

"Oh, she's not here right now. She went out of town with my apprentice and probably won't be back for another three or four days."

"Then let's stay in Yunling City for a few days. We'll come back when she returns. We hope Young Master Gu won't mind if we bother you."

Bai Chong rubbed his hands together, speaking very politely.

That's the only way. "Okay, come back in a few days."

Gu Heng did not insist that they stay.

I didn't want them to stay overnight at the clinic either; those two old men would easily make the youthful atmosphere in the clinic feel old.
