Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Soon, the day of the banquet arrived, and the entire Feixue Pavilion was packed with people. The nobles of Luoyang City had separate seats. Those seats offered a better view, allowing them to have a panoramic view. And what about Lord Yanchun? The most powerful of the powerful were arranged in the best places.

Behind a silk screen to the side of the stage, one can watch the performance up close and admire the beauty.

The banquet officially began. At the start, Yan Chunjun showed absolutely no interest in the performances, but to ordinary people, they were nothing short of breathtaking. The earlier performances received enthusiastic applause from the crowd; everyone was excited, except for Yan Chunjun.

Soon, the banquet came to a close, and Xue Nu and Gao Jianli made a dazzling appearance. The arrival of the final guests was met with cheers from the entire audience, and even Yan Chunjun stared wide-eyed at Xue Nu's every smile and gesture.

Gao Jianli stood to the side, holding the zither in his left hand and playing the strings in his right. The music started light and cheerful, then suddenly shifted to a stirring and passionate accompaniment. The music was captivating, creating a constantly changing scene for the audience.

The dance before him was breathtaking. Gao Jianli had been secretly observing Yan Chunjun, watching his every move. When he sensed that Yan Chunjun was completely absorbed in the Snow Maiden's dance, Gao Jianli prepared to make his move.

Gao Jianli took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, intending to rush towards Yan Chunjun, but Xue Nu noticed this. She threw out a silk ribbon in advance to hide the dagger.

The banquet continued, and people remained immersed in the world created by music, dance, and movement.

Yan Chunjun was a shrewd man; the reason he rarely went out was because he feared assassination. With the musical environment's influence diminishing, Yan Chunjun stepped out of the constructed setting and noticed something amiss with the musician's demeanor.

Seeing this, Yan Chunjun, realizing the importance of his life, hurriedly fled his seat, even though the banquet was still ongoing. Gao Jianli, seeing his assassination attempt fail, was visibly dejected, and even the music carried a hint of sorrow and indignation.

After the Snow Maiden finished her performance, she couldn't understand why Gao Jianli had attempted to assassinate Yan Chunjun, so she ordered people to investigate Gao Jianli and the other newcomers.

The person tasked with investigating didn't immediately discover Gao Jianli's differences, but did discover Gai Nie's. The investigator was very efficient, reporting to Xue Nu, "Gai Nie is the young master of the Seven Killings Sect."

Feixue Pavilion's intelligence network is quite comprehensive, as the high volume of visitors makes it an excellent place for gathering intelligence. Therefore, the fact that someone could find out about it so quickly is considered a rather secretive matter.

Gai Nie and his group were arranged by Jin Wanliang of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, so it wouldn't be good to refuse him. However, since he's not here now, if Feixue Pavilion lets these people stay, they might get into trouble, and no one will be able to help Feixue Pavilion.

Yan Chunjun must have sensed Gao Jianli's impulsive act and fears he might target Feixue Pavilion. For the sake of Feixue Pavilion's future well-being, Xue Nu has no choice but to make a decision: to drive Gai Nie and the others away from Feixue Pavilion.

Wait until Jin Wanliang returns from Xianyang before apologizing to him. Xue Nu personally went to Gai Nie's residence, knocked firmly on the door, and upon seeing Gai Nie, said bluntly without any hesitation, "Please move out of Fei Xue Pavilion; your status is inappropriate."

After saying that, Xue Nu turned and left without any explanation, leaving Gai Nie completely bewildered.

Chapter 1137 Erza's Initiative

After Xue Nu left, a bewildered Gai Nie didn't take her words seriously, told no one, and went back to his room to rest. Just as Gai Nie lay down on the bed, he heard a knock on the door. He assumed it was Xue Nu returning to explain, but it turned out to be Gao Jianli.

After the banquet, Xue Nu approached Gao Jianli and solemnly informed him that he had been dismissed. Gao Jianli then followed Xue Nu, only to discover that she was also trying to expel the new residents. Gao Jianli, believing he had implicated others, came to apologize, only to find that the person who opened the door was an acquaintance.

Gao Jianli was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was the young master of the Seven Kills Sect who had been missing for many years. Gai Nie did not recognize Gao Jianli, probably because he was still young at the time.

Gai Nie didn't recognize the person in front of him and thought he might have knocked on the wrong door, so he asked, "Who are you?" Gao Jianli wasn't too upset when he heard this, and he understood why Gai Nie didn't recognize him.

Gao Jianli suddenly leaned close to Gai Nie, whispered three words in his ear, "Seven Killings Sect." Upon hearing this, Gai Nie looked at Gao Jianli with a calm expression and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

Seeing Gai Nie's reaction, Gao Jianli knew he hadn't mistaken Gai Nie for someone else and was relieved. Without answering Gai Nie's question, Gao Jianli barged into the room, sat down at the table, and stared intently at Gai Nie standing in the doorway.

The interior design of the entire Feixue Pavilion was basically the same. Gao Jianli entered the room with ease and sat there waiting for the young master of the Seven Killings Sect. Gai Nie saw that the newcomer was so impolite that if he couldn't get any useful information out of him, he would definitely argue with him.

Gao Jianli was unaware that he was already being targeted by you; he was simply sitting there, trying to figure out how to explain the situation.

Seeing Gai Nie walk over and sit opposite him, Gao Jianli felt a little melancholy. After gathering his thoughts, Gao Jianli looked directly at Gai Nie and said firmly, "I am the youngest elder in the Seven Killings Sect. What Xue Nu said just now was not a joke. Shall I take you to my territory first, and then we can talk in detail?"

After Gao Jianli finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Gai Nie's reply. Gai Nie also sorted out his thoughts and understood why Xue Nu had sent him away. It was probably because his identity as the young master of the Seven Killings Sect had been discovered.

Gai Nie accepted the fact, glanced at Gao Jianli, then stood up and walked towards the bed. Gao Jianli thought Gai Nie didn't believe him, so he repeated, "It's true, come with me!" Gao Jianli was afraid that Gai Nie wouldn't accept reality and wouldn't come with him, leaving him here to face further danger.

Gai Nie was actually acting this way on purpose, pretending to be indifferent and clearly disbelieving Gao Jianli's words, wanting to see Gao Jianli's reaction. Gai Nie was quite satisfied with Gao Jianli's reaction, turning his back to him to look at him and teasingly saying, "You should at least let me pack my things!"

Seeing that Gai Nie trusted him, Gao Jianli visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Gai Nie packing his luggage, he asked, "Should I go and inform the others for you?"

However, Gai Nie firmly refused. Gai Nie was afraid that he would cause more trouble. This sudden departure was quite unexpected, and he was afraid that they would not be able to accept it.

After packing their luggage, Gai Nie, along with Gao Jianli, went from room to room to inform everyone that they were leaving Fei Xue Pavilion. Everyone was surprised but also trusted Gai Nie when they heard the news.

Chapter 1138 Let Me Show You What I'm made of

Soon, Feixue Pavilion was filled with people. Gao Jianli looked at the people standing in the pavilion and was a little worried that the dye shop would not be able to accommodate them all, but he quickly reassured himself that it would definitely be able to.

Gai Nie only told Duanmu Rong the real reason, explaining to Tianming and the other two that they were just going to find a different place to play.

The group left Feixue Pavilion in this manner, arriving in a grand procession and leaving with the same imposing air, showing no signs of being driven away. Fortunately, everyone had very little luggage, and they left in a rather cheerful mood.

Perhaps they've long been tired of Feixue Pavilion. Although it's the most comfortable place in Luoyang, if this place doesn't want them, there are plenty of other places that will. Why be so conflicted?

Led by Gao Jianli, the group arrived at his dye shop. Tianming, knowing Gao Jianli was a musician, asked in confusion, "He's clearly a musician, so why is he running a dye shop? Why not a music shop?"

That same day, when Tianming was touring Feixue Pavilion with the Flying Snow Orchid Pendant, he happened to see Gao Jianli playing music. Why did he remember him so much? Perhaps it was because of his refined demeanor, that kind of aura that made people want to explore him further. Tianming thought, he must have many secrets.

Gao Jianli hadn't expected that this precocious little fellow would even know he was a musician. He looked at Tianming with a smile and joked, "It was because of someone else's joke. Do you want to know what the joke was?"

Gao Jianli continued to tease Tianming, hoping the little devil would come up with some amusing answers. However, contrary to Gao Jianli's expectations, Tianming surprised everyone by saying, "Give me a little taste and I'll start a business?"

Tianming's answer was very certain, without the slightest hint of probing, which drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

Gao Jianli laughed along with Tianming, but Tianming remained serious. Gao Jianli gave Tianming a reply, saying, "Little fellow, you're really funny, that's right."

There was also a light in Gao Jianli's eyes, which collided with the light in Tianming's eyes, indicating that they were like-minded people.

Gao Jianli stopped joking with Tianming and arranged rooms for everyone one by one. After finishing, Gao Jianli felt relieved. This small dye shop could accommodate all these people, and he felt a sense of pride.

Everyone returned to their new lodgings to rest, except for Gao Jianli and Gai Nie, who remained. The two of them had some important secrets to discuss.

After Gao Jianli and Gai Nie took their seats, Gao Jianli said directly, "I've discovered the whereabouts of Elder Bao, the one who caused the Seven Killings Sect's annihilation." Gai Nie was quite interested in knowing whether the person Gao Jianli had discovered was indeed Elder Bao, so he continued to listen to Gao Jianli's story.

Seeing that Gai Nie was looking at him with some interest, Gao Jianli continued, "He is the famous Lord Yanchun who is hiding in Luoyang City." This result really surprised Gai Nie. He didn't expect that Elder Bao was so good at networking that he had risen to the top of the power and wealth in Luoyang City.

When Gai Nie arrived in Luoyang, he paid special attention to the distribution of power in the city, and Yan Chunjun was among them.

Fearing Gai Nie wouldn't believe him, Gao Jianli continued, "He also attended that banquet; I saw him." Then, suddenly remembering the reason Gai Nie and the others were driven away, Gao Jianli said somewhat embarrassedly, "It was precisely because I attempted to assassinate him at the banquet that Xue Nu drove you away."

Chapter 1139 Ultear's Joining

"Gai Nie, please sit down first." Gao Jianli noticed that Gai Nie had been standing ever since he came in, so he spoke softly to him. Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Gai Nie turned around and glanced at him before nodding slightly and replying softly, "Okay, you sit down too."

After a while, the two finally sat down facing each other. At first, neither of them spoke, and they looked at each other for a moment. Finally, it's unclear who couldn't bear the silence any longer, but one of them burst out laughing. Then, they both burst out laughing and looked at each other.

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting!" Gao Jianli laughed heartily, looking at Gai Nie sitting opposite him with a smile. Gai Nie also smiled and said softly, "Yes, yes, it really is quite interesting." Looking at Gao Jianli sitting opposite him, Gai Nie felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

"Ahem, alright, alright," Gao Jianli glanced at Gai Nie, then gently brought the topic back to the real issue, "Gai Nie, the main reason I called you here is to discuss some matters with you in Peach Grove." Upon hearing this, Gai Nie gently raised his head and asked softly, "Then tell me quickly what it is?"

Seeing that Gai Nie showed no resistance, Gao Jianli then revealed his plan. "It's like this, you know about the Seven Killings Sect, so the main reason I've called you here is, of course, about the Seven Killings Sect." Upon hearing "Seven Killings Sect," Gai Nie knew that this matter would not be as simple as before.

Seeing the sudden change in expression on Gai Nie's face, Gao Jianli quickly said, "Don't worry, this time, I will try my best to maintain a proper sense of proportion." Looking at Gao Jianli like this, Gai Nie felt for some reason that the matter involved, the people involved, or even the bigger mastermind behind it all would be a very big problem.

"Hmm~ Alright then, so, do you want to talk about anything related to the Seven Killings Sect?" Although Gai Nie's expression didn't change much, Gao Jianli still noticed some subtle shifts. Nevertheless, Gao Jianli spoke softly, but his voice was only audible to the person directly opposite him—Gai Nie.

"I want to kill Yan Chunjun, and then rebuild the Seven Killings Sect!" As he uttered the last word, a hint of bloodlust flashed in Gao Jianli's eyes—specks of red, exceptionally terrifying. "Heh!" Gai Nie chuckled softly upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, it was unclear whether he was mocking Gao Jianli's impractical plan or laughing at something else that was more ridiculous.

"What are you laughing at?" Gao Jianli frowned slightly, looking at Gai Nie sitting across from him, a hint of displeasure on his face. "Nothing, nothing, I was just laughing about something else," Gai Nie replied in a low voice. "But are you really sure you want to rebuild the Seven Kill Sect? After all, this decision is far too ambitious."

Chapter 1140 Go easy, I'm afraid of pain~~

The last sentence was unclear; it was unclear whether Gai Nie was admonishing Gao Jianli or mocking him. Regardless, Gao Jianli showed no reaction after hearing Gai Nie's words, his mind preoccupied with plans to rebuild the Seven Kill Sect. Clearly, he wasn't paying attention to Gai Nie's speech.

Seeing Gao Jianli's absent-minded look, Gai Nie's face didn't show any anger. Instead, he said softly when he saw Gao Jianli's distracted state, "Actually, I maintain a neutral stance on the matter of rebuilding the Seven Killers. However, if you really insist on this, I have nothing to say."

"Hmm~" Gao Jianli hummed softly, it was unclear whether he was responding to Gai Nie's words or still lost in his own thoughts. Gai Nie looked at Gao Jianli like this, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he put down the tea on the table, took a small sip, and then stared at Gao Jianli sitting opposite him, sitting quietly without saying a word.

At that very moment, a strangely dark shadow appeared on the roof of Gao Jianli's room. It was neither a tree shadow nor a black kitten; rather, it resembled a living person. Indeed, this person was—the Snow Maiden, who had been lying in ambush on the roof all along.

When Xue Nu heard Gao Jianli mention rebuilding the Seven Kills Sect, her eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief: Was Gao Jianli dreaming? Or was he really that eager for this? In short, Xue Nu didn't think rebuilding the Seven Kills Sect at this time was a good thing.

"Alright, since we've brought this up, I'll be leaving now." As Gao Jianli snapped out of his reverie, he glanced at Gai Nie, who was quietly sipping tea in front of him, and spoke softly.

"What's wrong? You're leaving now?" Gai Nie asked softly, as if just waking from a dream. "Yes, I'm leaving now," Gao Jianli replied in a similarly low voice. Actually, from the moment he mentioned his plans and saw Gai Nie's reaction, Gao Jianli understood Gai Nie's meaning.

Although Gai Nie answered every single one of his questions, Gai Nie's words didn't convey the same meaning as his own. When Gao Jianli thought of this, he couldn't help but doubt himself: Was he really being too hasty? But quickly, Gao Jianli would shake his head gently, trying to shake off the thought from his mind. He pushed open the door and went out.

After Gao Jianli left, Gai Nie invited Xue Nu into the room. Regarding Xue Nu, it's worth noting that she was a woman who was once an assassin within the Seven Killings Sect, spending her days assassinating humans. Originally, Xue Nu believed she would live like this forever, forever living in filth and never seeing the light of day.

But soon, overnight, something happened that caused the Seven Kills Sect she belonged to to be destroyed. In an instant, Xue Nu didn't know what to do. However, one thing was certain: the destruction of the Seven Kills Sect undoubtedly brought a glimmer of light to Xue Nu's life and gave her a chance to be reborn.

Chapter 1141 Haven't you all already thoroughly understood how bad I am?

"Ahem," Gai Nie looked at the Snow Maiden sitting opposite him—in the very spot where Gao Jianli had just left had been. A hint of interest flashed in Gai Nie's eyes. "Snow Maiden, I think you heard our conversation just now, didn't you?" He raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes fixed on the Snow Maiden opposite him, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.

"Yes, I... I heard everything." Xue Nu wasn't unaware of the obvious smile on Gai Nie's lips and in his eyes, but she was too lazy to explain; after all, there was no point in explaining. Looking down at the sequins on the side of her chiffon dress, Xue Nu gently moved her lips: "Gai Nie, could you please stop smiling?"

A simple sentence, yet it struck Gai Nie like a thunderbolt. He had thought that Xue Nu would be somewhat pleased to see Gao Jianli, but unexpectedly, her mood had soured, which puzzled Gai Nie greatly. However, upon hearing Xue Nu's words, although he was still confused, he immediately stopped smiling and looked at her with a worried expression.

"What's wrong? Did Gao Jianli bully you again?" Gai Nie asked with a worried expression and an angry tone. "Well, that Gao Jianli! He finally has a very beautiful girl who likes him, and not only does he not like her, he even tries to hurt her. Xue Nu, you wait and see, I'll teach him a lesson for you!"

Just as he was saying this, Gai Nie immediately got up from his chair, and it looked like he was about to rush out the door to confront Gao Jianli. The quick-witted Xue Nu immediately stretched out her hands to block Gai Nie's hurried body as he was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Gai Nie, no, no, don't misunderstand, go back and sit down first, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie stopped in his tracks, glancing uncertainly at Xue Nu, who was two heads shorter than him, his eyes filled with suspicion. Xue Nu, seeing Gai Nie's expression, knew that he was still somewhat doubtful, so she immediately assured him, "Really, I'm not lying to you. Sit down properly first, don't rush." ​​Gai Nie then put his raised leg back down.

"Phew~" Seeing that Gai Nie finally obediently sat back down, Xue Nu breathed a soft sigh of relief: That's finally done. This little devil Gai Nie has finally been appeased. Phew, he really is hard to please. Even harder to please than herself. Completely oblivious to Xue Nu's thoughts at this moment, the suspicious Gai Nie was utterly unaware of them; otherwise, he would have given her a cold stare that would have chilled her to death.

"Alright, then tell me quickly, what exactly happened?" Having just sat down, Gai Nie eagerly asked Xue Nu. Xue Nu glanced at Gai Nie's anxious expression and, no longer hiding anything, softly said, "Heh, what else could it be? Don't you know all about my messy affairs? It all boils down to that one thing, doesn't it?"

"Hehe, as you know, I've liked Gao Jianli for a long time, but, as you also know, he doesn't have the heart to focus on such things right now. So, every time she's sad or upset, I can only stand up for her as a friend."

Chapter 1142 Fairy Tail: All the members were stunned.

A bitter smile appeared on the snow woman's face.
