Chapter 306 [Young Lady Gu’s Savior?]

"You... are Gu Tongbing!"

These last two words, Chen Yan was already beside the Wooden Mask Man, half-kneeling, his mouth almost next to the other’s ear, lightly whispering!

The pupils in the Wooden Mask Man’s eyes suddenly constricted!

·

The legitimate first branch of the Gu family has four children in this generation, all with three-character names.

After the surname Gu, the second character of the name is in the sequence of Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron. The third character follows the sequence of A, B, C, D.

Gu Jinjia is the eldest, Gu Yin Yi the second, Gu Tongbing the third, and the fourth daughter is Gu Qingyi, whose real name is Gu Tieding.

That Gu Tongbing sat in the last row box of the underground auction venue in the City of No Return, and during the auction, a voice spoke out, having a conversation with the Ghost Race Cave Maiden on the stage. At that time, Chen Yan was somewhat surprised to encounter someone from the Gu family here, and it was Gu Qingyi’s third brother, Gu Tongbing.

Naturally, he didn’t approach to acknowledge because his current identity was Outer Sect disciple of the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, Zhao Shanhe.

He was not Wang Chuyi, the junior member ranked at the bottom in Gu Jinjia’s Brotherhood—wait, how low was his rank in the Brotherhood? Damn it, the heroes in the Brotherhood outnumber those of Water Margin’s 108 generals, having not returned for a while, he almost forgot.

Moreover, in the real world, he wasn’t Chen Yan, Gu Qingyi’s legitimate son—Chen Yan, Gu Qingyi’s legitimate son, couldn’t have come to the Domain Realm.

Thus, in terms of feelings or rationality, his identity as Zhao Shanhe, disciple of the Joyful Sect, had no reason to proactively approach and ingratiate with the third son of Gu Clan’s premier family at the auction venue.

Calling him brother was wrong, calling him uncle was more wrong.

At that time, Gu Tongbing remained in the box throughout without showing himself, yet Chen Yan remembered Gu Tongbing’s voice.

Later, in this mountain, he encountered the Wooden Mask Man addressed as "Venerable."

Initially, this guy used a spell to obscure his original voice, speaking always with a hoarse eerie sharpness, like a sharp blade scraping a plate.

But when he scattered his cultivation due to poison moments ago, his Primordial Qi scattered all over, the obscuring spell failed, and as he spoke again, he involuntarily revealed his real voice, which allowed Chen Yan to recognize him!

The problem is, having recognized him, now...

It’s hard to kill him.

·

Regarding relationships, from Gu Jinjia’s side, Gu Jinjia treated Chen Yan extremely well, and they were blood-sworn brothers. Gu Jinjia was like Chen Yan’s leading brother.

If considering from Gu Qingyi’s side, the relationship is even closer. Gu Qingyi treated Chen Yan very well as well, with Chen Yan relying on the Mother’s Love Talisman provided by Gu Qingyi to escape danger several times. Without Gu Qingyi’s aid, Chen Yan might have died several times already. Moreover, during the time they spent together, the relationship and emotions were excellent.

This Young Lady Gu, in Chen Yan’s heart, already holds a status akin to that of family.

There’s no way he could kill Gu Jinjia’s brother, Gu Qingyi’s brother, with his own hands.

Not to mention killing him personally, even if seeing him die without rescuing—Chen Yan asked himself, he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Since he couldn’t watch him die, he could only attempt to save.

·

Gu Tongbing took a breath, tugged at the corner of his mouth, though lying on the ground, he struggled briefly: "You... recognized me."

"..." Chen Yan looked down at Gu Tongbing indifferently.

Call him Third Brother? Or Third Uncle?

This didn’t matter, but first of all, Chen Yan certainly didn’t favor Gu Tongbing himself.

No one would have goodwill towards someone who comes up intending to kill and silence them.

Moreover, Gu Tongbing gave Chen Yan the feeling of being insidious! Cunning! Ruthless! A person full of danger.

"Swear first." Chen Yan suddenly spoke.

Gu Tongbing was stunned, a glint immediately shone in his pupils.

He took a deep breath, settled his breathing, then tremblingly raised his finger, his facial muscles trembling, he suddenly bit his lips fiercely, drawing blood, using the pain to stifle the twitching of facial muscles.

Trembling, Gu Tongbing began to swear.

"I, Gu Tongbing, swear to the Heavenly Dao, regarding you and that Young Master of the Yun Family... never..."

"Wait." Chen Yan said coldly: "Add Old Liang."

Gu Tongbing lifted his eyelids to glance at Chen Yan, nodded, took another breath and continued:

"...With the Heavenly Dao above... I, Gu Tongbing... towards you, the Young Master of the Yun Family, and Mr. Liang Gui... will not commit any harmful acts, regarding this encounter, nor pursue it, nor hinder, nor have any intention of harm. If violated, may I never glimpse the Heavenly Dao or it despises me, Gu Tongbing, heart demon arises, and cultivation utterly destroyed!"

Along with a faint trace of Primordial Qi bursting from his fingertip and then dissipating, Chen Yan knew the Heavenly Dao vow had formed.

"Do I need to add anything else?" Gu Tongbing whispered: "My Primordial Qi is almost completely scattered, if you want me to make more vows, I cannot arouse the Qi to utter several words of the Heavenly Dao oath."

Chen Yan nodded, and said calmly: "Alright, didn’t you capture Old Liang, let him go first."

Gu Tongbing sighed: "It’s not that I refuse to release him, but because Liang Gui’s cultivation is profound, defeating him took some effort, and I applied a special restriction. Now I am strongly poisoned, with my Qi entirely scattered, unable to remove that restriction to free him. But don’t worry, having sworn, I won’t break it. You save me, I’ll regain some strength and naturally release him."
