The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 314 Guan Su's Daydreams

"Someone come here!" Wu Chengyu, the Tang Kuo Shanying, shouted. Soon, several servants came to the door. Wu Chengyu opened the door and called out loudly.

“Take this ungrateful wretch out and bury him somewhere.”

The servants were startled when they saw the corpse on the ground. Tang Kuo Shanying was wearing Wu Chengyu's clothes. His body was curled up in pain, and his face was a bloody mess. His original appearance was completely unrecognizable, and it was impossible for anyone to recognize him as Tang Kuo Shanying.

Wu Chengyu simply forced his internal energy into Tang Kuo Shanying's face, distorting all his features and shattering all the capillaries in his face, causing Tang Kuo Shanying's facial skin to crack and bleed profusely. At this moment, even those who knew Tang Kuo Shanying well could not recognize the corpse.

Moreover, in their eyes, the dead were nothing more than Han Chinese pretty boys who had been captured; their deaths were no big deal and they were not worth paying attention to at all.

Several servants silently carried the body away. After Wu Chengyu walked out of the room, he shouted loudly, "Keep a close watch on this place for me, but be careful in serving her. Provide her with good food and drink, and don't let my mother suffer any grievances. Do you hear me?"

The guards around him responded in unison. Wu Chengyu turned and left the backyard. After walking a few steps, he saw a familiar face, the uncle who was considered a confidant of Tang Kuo Shanying.

Wu Chengyu asked Tangkuo Shanying and confirmed with Wen Ru that this so-called uncle was named Tangkuo Nan. He was the commander of Tangkuo's private army and was also the first to join Tangkuo Shanying. If it weren't for his support, Tangkuo Shanying would not have been able to counter Wen Ru.

"Shanying, wasn't this pretty boy the one you were going to marry Wenru? How did he suddenly die?"

"That useless thing, I don't know what methods Wen Ru used, but when I got there I found that he was already dead, and his death was extremely gruesome."

"She's no ordinary woman after all, so it's only natural that she has some self-defense skills. Sun-young, you must be careful when you see her in the future."

"I know, I don't need your reminder, you old codger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyu turned and left, but the word "old codger" left Tang Kuonan stunned on the spot, his face extremely embarrassed.

A servant walked up to him and whispered, "Elder, the young master seems to have changed a lot lately."

Tang Kuonan shook his head. He had been so angry that his beard was trembling. He had barely managed to calm himself down and let out a long sigh.

"He hasn't changed his personality drastically. Now it seems that this is his true nature. He was just pretending before. Now that he has power in his hands, he's finally too lazy to pretend anymore. Sigh, all that gentleness, kindness, humility, and love for his clan was fake."

"Elder, then haven't we done something wrong?"

"It's too late. We've done what we shouldn't have done. There's no going back. Otherwise, Wenru wouldn't have let us off the hook."

Moreover, he is destined to be the future head of our branch of the family, and that cannot be changed. I only hope that he will be able to fulfill the promise he made to me in the future.

Wu Chengyu's use of the term "old codger" was intentional; in his view, it truly reflected Tangkuo Shanying's true nature.

Having pretended for so many years, Tang Kuo Shanying was about to give up when things were about to succeed. Sooner or later, his true colors would be revealed. Wu Chengyu was just showing his true colors a little faster.

As Wu Chengyu walked to the gate alone, his men immediately came over, leading his horse. At least seven or eight thugs were ready to follow him out.

Wu Chengyu was extremely agitated, kicking them several times and cursing.

"I'm in a bad mood right now, so none of you are allowed to follow me. Also, that pretty boy is dead, and I need to find someone to replace him. Remember, he must be even more handsome than that pretty boy. If you can't find him, I won't blame you, but if you bring in some ugly bastards to fill the position, I'll skin you alive."

After saying this, Wu Chengyu left Tang Kuo's residence alone, looking like he was feeling restless and wanted to clear his head. Some of his foolish subordinates tried to follow him, but he kicked them to the ground several times, and finally had to let them leave alone.

He walked alone on the street, disappearing from sight after a few turns. After confirming that there were no tails behind him and no one was paying attention to him, he immediately used his lightness skill to arrive at the Eight Thousand Mile Escort Agency. He first restored his true appearance, and then climbed over the back wall into the inner courtyard.

As soon as he landed, he heard someone exhale and shout, "You little thief, how dare you steal my Guan family's jade and fragrance! Prepare to die!" Immediately afterward, a large Guan Dao (a type of halberd) slashed down towards Wu Chengyu's neck with lightning speed.

Wu Chengyu was a little helpless. She quickly dodged and said, "Sister Guan, I am Chengyu."

Guan Su immediately sheathed his broadsword after his first strike missed, ceasing his attack, but his words were spoken with an air of self-righteousness.

"I knew it was you the moment I saw it. This slash was intentional. You're quite the slippery fellow. In ordinary martial arts battles, my knife won't get you any advantage."

At this moment, Yan Chunyu and Sister Niu also came out of the room. Sister Niu grinned indifferently, while Yan Chunyu gave Guan Su a reproachful look.

Guan Su smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. After all, he dared to run away from the wedding back then, and I've been holding a grudge ever since. If you hadn't let me cut him, I would have suffocated. Now that I've cut him, I find him a bit more agreeable."

Wu Chengyu smiled bitterly to the side. Even if Guan Su was his sister-in-law, she would definitely not let the matter of her running away from the marriage go. But what could he do?

Fortunately, there was Yan Chunyu, a valiant and capable woman in red who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers. Yet, she was gentle and tender towards Wu Chengyu, always understanding and supporting him. This feeling did indeed make Wu Chengyu gradually become somewhat infatuated with her, which was truly rare.

Yan Chunyu walked up to Wu Chengyu and glanced at him briefly: "Husband, your clothes don't fit you at all. They must belong to Tang Kuo Shanying. Have you already succeeded in getting them?"

Wu Chengyu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, but there were some things he couldn't say here, so he immediately pulled the three women into the house.

Wu Chengyu found Yan Chunyu late last night. Sister Niu and Guan Su were not around at the time. He told them about his plan with Madam Wen. Everyone thought it was a brilliant plan, except for Guan Su, who was suspicious of Wu Chengyu's disguise.

Helpless, Wu Chengyu transformed into Tang Kuo Shanying's appearance again. Guan Su had known Tang Kuo Shanying for countless years and couldn't find any flaws. She slapped her thigh and said to Yan Chunyu, "Sister, you have a discerning eye. Your brother-in-law's skill in disguise is truly remarkable."

"In the future, when you two are all lovey-dovey, wouldn't your brother-in-law be able to conjure up any man's face you want? That's practically a divine skill!"

Yan Chunyu blushed deeply, while Wu Chengyu rolled his eyes several times before finally managing to hold back his teasing of Guan Su.

Men have always wanted to find a woman who can change her appearance constantly, like Mystique from the mutants. That's practically every man's ultimate dream. But what man would willingly transform himself to please his woman? Isn't that just voluntarily wearing a hat?
It seems I should stay away from Guan Su from now on.

At this moment, Yan Chunyu immediately changed the subject: "What should my husband do next?"

"Of course I need to learn how to be a spoiled brat."

　I had originally planned to take a day off on the 1st, but I felt it wouldn't be right not to update at all, so I managed to write two chapters last night and am posting them now. Thank you all for your support in June. I won't be updating as much in July, so I'll put more effort into the plot and hope to gain more of your recognition. Thank you all.
