I Have Medicine-Chapter 114
You Jiong almost reflexively retreated.
After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, this was an outer sect veteran disciple's intuition to a crisis!
Following that, he looked in front at Kang Wenhong and all around him. Many people were standing all over. These people's appearances seemed to be that of newly promoted outer sect disciples.
Only, how could new disciples be so audacious? They actually dared to meddle in the struggle between veteran disciples!
The ones who abruptly dashed out to save Kang Wenhong were naturally Gongyi Tianheng and the others.
At this moment, Cang Yu acted as the leader and spoke at once: "Honorable senior sect brother You, we're all fellow disciples. Anyone can make mistakes, so why not forgive them when possible?"
You Jiong let out a cold laugh: "New disciples who dare stick their hands where they don't belong will get them chopped off!"
Cang Yu frowned.
Even if the other side was a veteran disciple, they had so many new disciples and a dozen Houtian late-stage three martial artists among them. They weren't scared of him! It was just that this You Jiong was obviously a vile character. He would bear a grudge, so future events wouldn't be too encouraging.
However, the matter of coming to the rescue was proposed by Gongyi Tianheng and them.
It definitely wasn't because they weren't sensible and insisted on getting involved in the affairs between veteran disciples. First and foremost, while everyone was part of the same sect, if they didn't see it or if they didn't have the ability to intervene, then forget about it. Obviously, now that they'd already seen it and they were capable of preventing it, watching him die without saving him really troubled the heart. Yet, this wasn't the most important thing.
What was most important was that You Jiong could follow Kang Wenhong so far and so deeply into West Mountain. After waiting for him to kill Kang Wenhong, no one knew if he might discover their existence. Once found, they would also incur his wrath, so it was better to seize the opportunity to save Kang Wenhong and garner some good karma with the seemingly more honest Kang Wenhong.
While listening to the two's words, among veteran disciples, Kang Wenhong's status and strength was clearly superior to You Jiong's. Otherwise, that You Jiong wouldn't have gone so far as to secretly scheme until Kang Wenhong quickly succ.u.mbed to the poison before appearing and showing off his might. Once they saved Kang Wenhong, wouldn't he go find trouble with You Jiong? And so long as Kang Wenhong could move, You Jiong would be hard-pressed and also wouldn't necessarily be able to negatively affect them.
Most of all, as far as Cang Yu and the others were concerned, this was a great opportunity to network.
Gongyi Tianheng already had relationships with the inner sect, but Cang Yu definitely didn't. The more time one had to make friends, the larger the social network one could form and the more advantageous this was to oneself.
As a prince, how could Cang Yu not understand this?
After numerous calculations, it was more beneficial to save him.
Not only was this abiding by their scruples, but they could also obtain benefits. It just like so.
As to the dangers You Jiong might bring about…
In the capacity as martial artists, thinking about obtaining benefits without encountering danger — How could such a beautiful thing exist in this world!?
Gu Zuo rested against Tianheng's back. When he listened to You Jiong berating Cang Yu, his eyes flashed with worry.
He secretly transmitted to Tianheng: Big brother, that You Jiong… He bullies the weak and fears the strong.
A smiling expression flashed in Tianheng's eyes: Yes. That's why he will certainly retreat.
Gu Zuo nodded. He also felt it would come to this.
To be honest, he also heard You Jiong's self-satisfied conversation just now and he really didn't have a good impression of him.
One might say this wasn't about being mortal enemies. Yet, his martial strength was always suppressed by that guy Kang Wenhong. His heart was offended and wanted to kill that guy. This was just too petty!
If one had a little skill, wouldn't they try even harder? If their best wasn't enough, just considering Kang Wenhong as a goal to boost one's own progress was also good! On the contrary, he wanted to kill someone… Could it be that in the future, he would kill one after another as soon as he had an encounter? Only using underhanded methods to kill someone who was stronger than oneself wouldn't make one become a powerhouse. Instead, fighting skilled experts using one's real strength was the correct path for men!
Since his arrival, Gu Zuo had pretty muted adapted to this world.
He felt that only with his big brother Gongyi Tianheng, this kind of person, would he scale the summit of the martial way in the future. And those like You Jiong, who didn't dare confront difficult situations and only dared to use secret and shameful methods with a heart that envied strength, they certainly wouldn't go far.
En, after saving that Kang Wenhong, perhaps he could become even stronger later on — What's more, he might gain some insight again this time!
That was one side of things.
After Cang Yu was berated, he wasn't obstinate toward You Jiong because, in the end, he was a new disciple. Rather, he cupped his hand and continued to stand in front of Kang Wenhong.
Under his signals, the other twenty or so nominal disciples tightened their encirclement, leaving only a single exit for You Jiong. In addition, this exit was becoming smaller and smaller…
You Jiong was full of crafty plots and machinations. How couldn't he be aware of the current situation?
He watched the people around him getting closer and closer. He understood that if he didn't give up on killing Kang Wenhong, perhaps he'd be completely surrounded. When that time came, who knew if these people would simply kill him or hand him over to the Earth Ghosts that filled this mountain?
Merely, You Jiong still wasn't willing to let Kang Wenhong live.
He clenched his fists, raised his head, and said: "You all shouldn't make this mistake. So long as you let me kill Kang Wenhong, I'm willing to become your friend. I also have several excellent pills that flow from the inner sect. If you all are willing to step aside, I'll divide these pills amongst you. How about it?"
Cang Yu was left with no choice: "Senior sect brother You, please don't make things difficult for us."
You Jiong furiously said: "Then what benefits will Kang Wenhong give to you?"
— Actually, Kang Wenhong's face was a deep black. He didn't speak because the qi was like a fine gossamer, and he could hardly move.
He could only perceive that someone was in front to save him. This made his heart very grateful.
At this moment, Kang Wenhong did his best to open his mouth. The sound was like a mosquito: "Many thanks, juniors…for the a.s.sist. I'm already done for… Better not agree… To avoid…"
To avoid the trouble of You Jiong coming to find them.
It seemed to Kang Wenhong that these newly advanced junior sect brothers still weren't used to the sect's cruelty and were still full of zeal. This kind of person shouldn't provoke such a vile character like You Jiong for someone near death like him.
As for letting these junior sect brothers kill You Jiong, Kang Wenhong didn't need to mention it.
Currently it was only because they were junior sect brothers that the matter of slightly offending You Jiong could still be mended. However, once they tried to kill You Jiong, who had all kinds of trump cards to escape, it would end with them fighting to their last breath. You Jiong wasn't that scary, but his background definitely didn't lack the existence of someone.
Kang Wenhong also had a supporter. If he was alive, he could still shelter these junior sect brothers. But once he died, his supporter wouldn't do anything for these fellows. In that case, wasn't this just letting them be slaughtered by You Jiong?
Gu Zuo silently sighed.
Based on the dialogue of these two, he knew that Kang Wenhong's character was much better than You Jiong's.
If You Jiong's words could be believed, then pigs could fly.
This matter was one that even Gu Zuo knew about. Cang Yu naturally wouldn't be unaware.
He immediately stated: "We're satisfied with how things are now. After you, senior sect brother You!"
Maliciousness streaked across You Jiong's eyes.
Gongyi Tianheng secretly kept his guard up.
Before this You Jiong departed, he probably still wanted to…
Just as expected, You Jiong looked at Cang Yu's reluctance and was very resentful. With fury on his face, he repeatedly said: "Good, good, good! I will remember you!"
As he spoke, he slowly retreated.
The encirclement of those nominal disciples also gradually opened up, allowing him to leave…
However, just at this moment, You Jiong suddenly stopped mid-step and both hooks flashed. His entire body hurriedly shot out! The terrible, cold light on those hooks advanced right towards Cang Yu!
Cang Yu also wasn't caught off guard. He turned his hand over, already using a long saber to block the hooks.
However, the powerful strength the hooks were beyond his expectations. With his little sister on his back, he only used one hand. Although he blocked this strike, the paths to the left and right were un.o.bstructed.
Gu Zuo stared: Big brother, that guy really is quite sinister.
Tianheng shook his head: We can't let him injure Brother Cang Yu.
That fiend You Jiong saw that Cang Yu already had to protect Kang Wenhong as well as the woman on his back. So, it would be hard to be thorough. He let out a grim laugh, and decided to kill this greenhorn first at the very least. These new disciples were merely gra.s.shoppers that struggled in his hand. Ones that couldn't jump out!
Cang Yu suddenly shot out his hand and resisted once more.
He never antic.i.p.ated that You Jiong would still want to kill people at this juncture!
As the ninth prince, though he exercised restraint after reaching the sect, his apt.i.tudes were also absolutely exceptional among the aristocratic descendants. At this moment, he released killing intent against You Jiong.
Cang Yu said: "Little sister, hold on tight to me."
Princess Yaomin naturally obeyed and firmly clung to her elder brother's body.
This time, Cang Yu's two hands grasped the saber with added strength!
However, in the end, Cang Yu was too rushed. You Jiong occupied the winning side. Unexpectedly, he still took advantage of this opportunity, reaching out his hand to take care of that Princess Yaomin!
If Cang Yu wanted to save Princess Yaomin, he needed to switch places. And once he switched places, the two hooks would certainly make contact with his body!
Just then, two small stones swiftly flew past. They struck the two hooks, sweeping them away.
You Jiong furiously drew back and suddenly saw a person appear just in front of Cang Yu — It was someone he didn't meticulously take note of before.
He shouted sternly: "As it turns out, it was you!"
Gongyi Tianheng's expression was unhurried: "Senior sect brother You'd better quickly leave."
