Chapter 11

Guoshanfeng was taken aback for a moment, then let out a cold laugh, "You want me to work for you like a slave? Fine, as long as you don't break up our gang and don't harm my brothers. My life will be yours from now on."

"Deal."

Zheng Renjie immediately agreed, never once glancing at the woman, treating her as if she were a passing cloud.

Guoshanfeng immediately knelt on one knee and said in a rough voice, "From now on, whatever you command, I, Guoshanfeng, will not hesitate to face any danger for you."

Zheng Renjie smiled in satisfaction and said, "Remember your words. Tomorrow morning, bring your men and wait for me outside the swamp."

With that, he vanished in a flash.

Gu Yang felt a shadow pass by him again. Turning his head, he only saw a white figure fly over the courtyard wall and disappear.

"Sixth Rank—"

Only a martial artist of Sixth Rank or higher could possess such lightness of body.

To have such cultivation at such a young age, and with the surname Zheng, he was likely from the Zheng family that had once been allied with in the previous simulations.

Thinking of Zheng Renjie's behavior, Gu Yang's impression of so-called noble families was extremely poor.

He could accept a ruthless bandit as a subordinate without any psychological burden, simply because he was a man of passion.

Even knowing that the woman had been abducted, he could still allow Guoshanfeng to bully her and leave without a care.

What kind of values did these noble children have?

It was clear what kind of education they had received.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, Guoshanfeng shouted fiercely, already holding a large ringed blade in his hand, looking at Gu Yang at the door with a brutal expression.

...

The woman sitting by the bed felt her heart sink to the bottom when Zheng Renjie left. The hope that had just risen was completely shattered.

She never imagined that this young man from the Zheng family would disregard her life just to win over a bandit.

Earlier, Guoshanfeng had suppressed her with his true qi, making it impossible for her to speak and reveal her identity.

This time, it was really over!

She could no longer hear what Guoshanfeng was saying; her mind was blank.

...

"The one who killed you."

Gu Yang lifted the ghost head blade and said coldly.

"Third Brother!"

Guoshanfeng's eyes narrowed when he saw the ghost head blade in his hand, and he said in shock and anger, "What did you do to Third Brother?"

"Guess."

Guoshanfeng's eyes bulged with rage, his killing intent boiling, "I will flay you alive!"

He took a step forward, the ground cracking beneath him, and leaped up with an overwhelmingly fierce momentum, chopping at Gu Yang.

This man had a natural aura of savagery and fearlessness, able to fight to the best of his ability even against a stronger opponent, truly a born warrior.

Gu Yang had already experienced this in the previous simulation.

Facing this overwhelming and powerful strike, he did not dodge but swung his blade horizontally.

Swoosh!

The blade was as fast as lightning.

Guoshanfeng felt a chill at his throat, a gust of wind passing by, his fierce expression turning to shock. His mouth moved, "Seventh Rank?"

A large amount of blood spurted from his throat, and he fell to the ground, dead with his eyes wide open.

Even in death, he could not turn to look at the woman behind him, his eyes filled with unwillingness and reluctance.

This ruthless bandit finally ended his evil life.

"Miss—"

The young girl who had been hiding outside saw the great villain finally die, and she burst into tears, rushing in and hugging her mistress, "We are finally saved—uh..." She cried out loud.

Gu Yang ignored them and searched the room for spoils on his own.

...

"Zhixing?"

Su Qingzhi, who had been immersed in despair, was suddenly awakened by the servant's cries, and said fearfully, "How did you get in? Get out quickly!"

She did not want her servant, who was like a sister to her, to see what was about to happen.

"Miss, we... are saved..." Zhixing hugged her, sobbing.

Saved?

Su Qingzhi was momentarily dazed, staring at the servant for a while before suddenly reacting, repeating, "We are saved?"

Zhixing wiped away her tears, "Yes, Miss, we are saved. That villain is dead."

Su Qingzhi turned her head and saw the body on the ground, which was indeed Guoshanfeng. Her strength seemed to be drained, and thinking of the past few days, she could no longer control her tears, which fell like pearls.

...

Gu Yang searched the room thoroughly, not even sparing Guoshanfeng's body.

The harvest was not much, only about a hundred taels, and there were no cultivation techniques or secret manuals on the body.

At this moment, the sound of fighting and slaughter came from outside.

Gu Yang's heart stirred, "Could it be the Liu family's hunting team?"

He turned to look at the mistress and servant who were still crying, and suddenly understood many things that had puzzled him before.

The reason the Liu family sent people to Lianshan was for this woman.

The thirteenth-ranked beauty on the Red Beauty List, Su Qingzhi.

The merchants had said that the Liu family wanted to offer this woman to a powerful figure, but she escaped. In a fit of anger, they wiped out the Su family.

It turned out she had fled to Lianshan, and the Liu family had sent people to track her down.

Then she was captured by Guoshanfeng and taken to Wangjiagou, and the Liu family's people followed.

This was also why the Liu family's hunting team appeared in Wangjiagou.

Thinking of this, Gu Yang said, "The Liu family is here. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to."

The mention of the Liu family woke the mistress and servant from their joy of narrowly escaping death.

Su Qingzhi's face changed, and she also heard the sounds of fighting outside, saying, "Not good! Zhixing, we need to leave quickly."

Zhixing saw that Gu Yang was not paying attention to them and was about to climb out of the window, and said urgently, "Sir, can you take us with you?"

"I can't help you. Take care of yourselves." Gu Yang did not want to invite trouble. Saving them from Guoshanfeng was already more than enough.

Hearing the sounds of fighting getting closer, and seeing Gu Yang already climbing out of the window, Zhixing was in a panic. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she shouted, "My mistress has money, three thousand taels!"

Swoosh!

A figure reappeared from outside the window, landing beside them. Without a word, he grabbed both of their shoulders and broke through the window, escaping from the place.
