Chapter 1236 Gu Xing: I didn't expect you to be so cunning
Gu Xing didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing Sun Wukong's words, he subconsciously began to observe the figure opposite him.
If he hadn't observed it, it wouldn't have mattered. But once he started observing, Gu Xing suddenly realized that the person opposite him seemed to be faint, like ink that had lost its color.
"Yeah, he seems so aloof... Is he really the guild master of the Pure Guild?" Gu Xing muttered to himself.
The person in front of them seemed to be on a completely different level from them.
Even in terms of his aura, he was exactly the same as the president of the Purity Guild.
But the difference in appearance is so great that no one could honestly say that the two are the same person.
What's even more puzzling is that Gu Xing didn't notice anything amiss until Sun Wukong explicitly pointed this out.
It was as if something was subtly influencing Gu Xing's judgment.
Upon realizing this, Gu Xing immediately felt goosebumps rise up, sensing that this thing was extremely eerie.
He approached Sun Wukong somewhat nervously and muttered to himself:
"Hey, this guy isn't planning anything bad on me, is he? You'd better protect me, and I promise you'll get your money's worth later."
Sun Wukong had been focusing all his attention on the creature in front of him, who appeared to be the leader of the Pure Guild.
Gu Xing's words left Sun Wukong speechless.
He cast his gaze over, his pupils revealing his emotions without any attempt to conceal them.
Sun Wukong's disdain was palpable.
Gu Xing saw that Sun Wukong was actually distracted and had turned his attention back to himself, showing no sign of happiness.
With his sharp eyesight, Gu Xing quickly noticed that the thing that had been immobilized by Sun Wukong was starting to struggle and was about to break free.
He immediately started shouting:
"What are you looking at me for? Do I have any smudges on my face? Stop staring blankly! He looks like he's about to run away, stop him!"
He shouted as he hid behind Sun Wukong.
Now, only behind Sun Wukong is the only place where he can feel at ease.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong remained calm and composed, looking at the person. Sure enough, he saw the shadow begin to move.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You have to understand that even though I didn't use one percent of my strength, it wasn't something I could easily break free from.
The creature in front of them was of unknown origin, yet it was still able to struggle against Sun Wukong's methods, which were more than enough to deal with quasi-saints.
Sun Wukong had to admit that this thing had piqued his curiosity.
If it weren't for the fact that it was on the Snowdrift Guild's territory, Sun Wukong would have loved to go up there and tear this thing apart to see what it was made of.
However, no matter what Sun Wukong thought, he still had to take the necessary precautions.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong and this guy escapes, it won't be an easy task to trap him again.
With this in mind, Sun Wukong once again cast a spell on the thing, trying his best to trap it obediently.
As expected, the "shadow" was once again bound by the restriction, and returned to its original state of being unable to move.
Seeing that the thing had calmed down again, Gu Xing silently exhaled a breath of stale air.
He rubbed the stiffness on his cheeks and forced a smile, saying, "You saved me this time, so I've done a great service. Don't you really want to switch sides and work for me?"
"The treatment I receive here is much better than what you get in the Third Guild!"
Having shed his previous panic, Gu Xing now looked somewhat like the leader of the Snowdrift Guild.
These airs, however, were seen as mere posturing by Sun Wukong.
Upon hearing Gu Xing's invitation, Sun Wukong merely rolled his eyes indifferently.
Sun Wukong calmly declined, "No need. I'm doing very well in the Third Guild. If I feel bad about not contacting you, how about this..."
In the end, he thought carefully about what kind of reason would be appropriate.
After a long pause, unable to think of anything else he could ask for, he could only wave his hand and say:
"Fine, give me whatever reward you're willing to give. Consider it my good deed for the day."
"If you feel your life isn't worth that price, then you don't have to pay me."
Gu Xing, after hearing the first half, did think that he had gotten a great deal and that he didn't need to pay any compensation.
After all, Sun Wukong himself said that it didn't matter whether he wanted revenge or not, right? If that's the case, it's normal that he wouldn't give it to him!
His face darkened when he heard the second half.
He now felt that Sun Wukong was extremely cunning.
Sun Wukong's words didn't mean he didn't care about the reward; on the contrary, he valued it very much.
Otherwise, Sun Wukong wouldn't have provoked himself in this way.
That guy, seemingly giving me the choice, was actually secretly forcing me to spend a lot of money to thank him, thus highlighting Sun Wukong's aloofness.
"Hahaha, what are you saying? I'm not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. How could I not give you any reward?" Gu Xing practically squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
Sun Wukong, standing beside him, seemed oblivious to the sarcastic undertone in Gu Xing's words, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Since you've put it that way, President Gu, what you do next is up to you."
After saying this, Sun Wukong planned to tie up the person in front of him and take him back to the Third Guild.
Gu Xing stared blankly at Sun Wukong's actions until Sun Wukong was about to take this person away, at which point he belatedly realized what the other party was about to do.
"Wait, where are you taking him?" Gu Xing stopped Sun Wukong, who was about to leave.
Although he was very grateful to Sun Wukong for saving him this time.
However, this does not mean that he would just stand by and watch Sun Wukong take this guy away.
Gu Xing believed that with the evidence before him, he could prove the Purity Guild's wolfish ambitions.
He then had a reason to completely eliminate the Clean Society.
At least procedurally, this makes it easier and more convenient for the side of justice to take action.
However, it was inappropriate to say these things to Sun Wukong's face, since they were, strictly speaking, enemies.
If this happens to remind Sun Wukong, and he takes the item to Lu Su to make a big deal out of it, that would be disastrous.
As if he could read the man's mind, Sun Wukong gave a disdainful sneer.
"I wouldn't mind leaving this to you, but are you sure you really want it?"
