“Which means the fortune of the nine great clans is now in the hands of a few of us!” Mo Tianji said word by word.
“Ah?!” Everyone exclaimed in unison!
“This… this this this… Boss is really… Wahahaha, so cool…” Ji Mo and Rocky Luo couldn’t help but stare in shock, and after a while, they began to rejoice wildly.
Gu Duxing, Ao Xieyun, and Xie Danqiong also wore expressions of joy.
“Boss is really still here! Still here! Indeed still here!!!” Gu Duxing laughed heartily, and tears suddenly sparkled in his eyes.
Mo Tianji smiled slightly, feeling his blood surging in excitement, and it took a while for him to calm down; after calming down, he let out a spurt of fresh blood.
The backlash from probing into heaven's secret had just struck.
But at this moment, Mo Tianji didn’t care at all.
If this had happened before, it might have cost him lifespan, but now, with the powerful fortune bestowed upon him by Chu Yang, how could Mo Tianji still care about this trivial backlash...
“We must seize the time to practice!” Mo Tianji said word by word, “Get out as quickly as possible and kill our way to the upper three heavens! Assist Boss!”
“Hmm, just because Boss transferred the fortune to us doesn’t mean we’ll be invincible.” Gu Duxing poured cold water on the situation as he looked at the somewhat proud Ji Mo and Rocky Luo, “If you two don’t exert yourselves and get slaughtered after going up, even if you’re given ten times the fortune, you’ll just be a corpse! A pile of rotten meat!”
The brothers seemed to have already formed a routine: Mo Tianji pointed out the general direction and took charge of the overall situation; Gu Duxing led the others to implement it. Whether practicing or working, it was always Gu Duxing who urged them on, and he played the role of the cold and ruthless one. If anyone was uncooperative, especially when Ji Mo and Rocky Luo occasionally slacked off, they would be met with a storm of furious punishment!
Meanwhile, Ao Xieyun and Xie Danqiong acted as mediators, the all-purpose characters. If things really got out of hand, the two would step in immediately to diffuse the tension...
It must be said that this combination was truly exquisite.
Only Ji Mo and Rocky Luo had it tough; their qualifications were not as good as the others, and it was inevitable they would feel discouraged at times; but whenever this happened, Gu Duxing’s thunderous storm would come rolling in. And then… their training would increase to double the effort compared to others… just to catch up.
In this way, they ensured the small group advanced together.
Now, Gu Duxing was back to his usual scolding.
Ji Mo and Rocky Luo made bitter faces, lowered their heads, and muttered, “I was just a bit happy for a moment…”
“When we unify the Nine Heavens, there will be plenty of times for you to be happy!” Gu Duxing said sternly, “Right now, a little bit of complacency is unacceptable! What? Do you two want to practice with me?”
Rocky Luo and Ji Mo were immediately startled and shook their heads like rattles.
The group began their training without further mention.
Rocky Luo’s teeth itched, and while everyone was not paying attention, he leaned into Ji Mo’s ear and said, “Look, Old Gu Er is getting more and more authoritative; I really want to beat him into a soft Old Gu Er!”
Ji Mo was taken aback and exclaimed dramatically, “What? You want to beat Second Brother Gu into a soft Old Gu Er? You’re too crazy…”
Rocky Luo stared at Ji Mo, shocked that his closest comrade would betray him so cruelly at that moment, feeling utterly despondent: “Ji Mo… you sold me out…”
“Rocky Er! Looks like you’ve got itchy bones!” Gu Duxing had already flown over, his face dark, and with an iron fist and steel leg, he came crashing down! Rocky Luo didn’t have time to dodge and was knocked to the ground.
What followed was a lesson that felt like a thunderstorm…
Ji Mo watched with a clear conscience and chuckled: “Damn it, if I don’t let you relieve some of Old Gu Er's frustration, wouldn’t he come looking for trouble with me… Heh heh, it’s better for you to take the beating than for both of us to get it…”
