Chapter 1803 Childhood Nightmare
Could it be... a sexual assault?
Gu Xing was terrified!
"My lords, what do you want? I'll get it all for you, just let me go, okay?"
A few light scoffs reached my ears: "You think we'd be short of that?"
"Just stay put! That way you can avoid a beating."
A faint fragrance wafted in the air, a fragrance that Gu Xing had smelled countless times before!
They are assassins from the Wind and Snow Tower!
Only they can carry this unique fragrance!
Gu Xing was often hunted down when he was young. Later, his strength gradually grew. In addition, the Gu family issued a death order that anyone who dared to touch a hair on Gu Xing's head would be killed and his clan would fight to the death!
After that, no one dared to hire someone to kill him anymore.
"How much money did the other side give you? I'll give you double! No, triple!"
"Oh! You found out who we are so quickly?" The assassins from Fengxuelou looked at Gu Xing with amusement.
One of them ripped off the black cloth covering his eyes. "Do you recognize me? I used to chase after you when you were a kid!"
The first thing you see is a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and extremely sharp eyes.
Gu Xing will never forget his voice in his lifetime!
“Xu Daozi.” Gu Xing’s eyes were filled with astonishment and fear.
Of course he recognized the man in front of him!
It was his childhood nightmare!
As soon as he leaves the Gu family, this man named Xu Daozi will chase after him with a knife!
He wasn't swift and decisive in killing people; he scared him half to death before deciding to deliver the fatal blow!
At that time, the Gu family sent many people to protect him, but they were all killed by Xu Daozi!
Fortunately, the guards delayed them for a while, allowing the clan elders to arrive...
Since then, Gu Xing has rarely gone out. Even when he really wants to go out, he needs to be accompanied by several elders.
Later, when he was older, rumors suddenly spread that Xu Daozi had been killed!
He was overjoyed! He went out to test the waters a few more times afterward, but Xu Daozi's ghostly figure did not appear.
Gu Xing then realized that Xu Daozi was indeed dead.
But! Many years have passed!
How could a "dead person" suddenly reappear out of nowhere?
"Not bad, you remember my name. You are indeed the boldest and most lively among those children." Xu Daozi looked at Gu Xing with a smile.
That look sent chills down Gu Xing's spine!
"We've arrived," another assassin said.
Xu Daozi glanced at him and said, "I understand." Then he looked around and said, "This place is indeed very suitable for murder and burial. Let's do it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing looked around. The surroundings were empty, with only small, bulging hills.
And what's buried in these hills is obvious without even thinking!
Gu Xing didn't want to die, so he stalled for time, saying, "Before I die, shouldn't I at least be allowed to die knowing the truth? Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"
"You brat, don't think I don't know you're stalling for time, but it's no use. You just came back from the lower realm. Guess if your Gu family knows you're back?"
Xu Daozi slapped Gu Xing on the back of the head.
They slapped Gu Xing off the carriage.
"But it won't hurt to tell you." Xu Daozi smiled mysteriously: "It's someone closest to you."
The closest person...?
Gu Xing stared wide-eyed in disbelief. His closest relatives were only a few elders of the Gu family and his brother...
The elders value the family's interests above all else; they shouldn't harm him, brother...
"You guessed it, didn't you?" Xu Daozi carefully observed Gu Xing's expression, as if he were admiring a magical treasure.
"That's right, it's Gu Tian."
As the sound faded, Gu Xing felt as if he had heard the sound of his heart breaking.
It really is Gu Tian!
How can it be?
Gu Tian only had conflicts with him when they were young; their brotherly relationship has remained very good since they grew up.
"Don't try to sow discord here! I won't fall for it!"
Xu Daozi laughed: "Sowing discord? What good is it for us to sow discord with a dead man?"
He changed the subject, glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye: "However, this feeling of being misunderstood is really unpleasant. Gu Tian, aren't you coming out?"
One of the assassins behind Xu Daozi made his move.
He walked over, tore off the human skin mask from his face, revealing a face that bore a resemblance to Gu Tian.
Gu Xing was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
"Gu Xing, you can die in peace now."
"Why!" Gu Xing almost roared, "Brother? Why is it you who wants to kill me!"
He cannot accept this fact, nor does he want to accept it.
"Because of you, I will never become the head of the Gu family." Gu Tian said expressionlessly, "My talent and strength are clearly superior to yours. But those old guys resolutely decided to pass the position of family head to you!"
"Fine, I've never been favored or valued since I was little, so it's normal. But why? Why make me the young master for a few years?"
"You don't know yet, do you? The elders made me the young master so that they could clear away any obstacles for you."
"The Gu family has made too many enemies, and many people in the shadows want me dead! No, to be more precise, they want the young master of the Gu family dead! Do you know how many people have tried to assassinate me since I became the young master?"
“You don’t know,” Gu Tian said, laughing as he spoke, “Several times when I was on the verge of death, the elders didn’t even glance at me. They were all pacing around you. They were terrified even when you bumped or fell!”
“Now that all obstacles have been cleared, I have no intention of relinquishing the position of young master!” Gu Tian sneered. “So, Gu Xing, I can only trouble you to die.”
Gu Xing was deeply hurt: "Brother... if you wanted to be the young master, you could have just told me. I wouldn't have fought you for it. Besides, I had no idea about what you were talking about. If I had known, I definitely..."
"What are you sure about? Are you saying you'll tell the elders and your father that you don't want this position?" Gu Tian interrupted Gu Xing with a cold face.
Do you think you can just throw it away if you don't want it?
He suddenly went berserk, grabbed Gu Xing by the collar and slammed him to the ground: "Why is it that the things I dream of have, you can get so easily?"
Why are you born with such a good life, receiving all the love and pampering!
"Why should I have to burn myself out for you! Gu Xing, die! Only when you die will the elders even glance at me; only when you die can the position of young master truly be mine!"
A long sword appeared in Gu Tian's hand.
In a frenzied manner, he plunged the sword into Gu Xing's heart.
"elder brother……"
This call of "brother" made Gu Tian hesitate for a moment.
He released his grip and said to Xu Daozi and the others, "You should do it yourselves."
Xu Daozi gave a sinister smile: "Are you sure? We don't like to finish him off so quickly. He'll die... in great pain."
Gu Tian walked away in silence.
Xu Daozi pressed his fingers on Gu Xing's wound, and the more pain Gu Xing looked in, the more excited he became.
"Shout it out, quick, shout it out!"
