Chapter 640 Shocking News!
Before long, the entrance of Zhongnan Academy was rapidly crowded with hundreds of people.
Among these people, naturally, there were some who recognized Gu Sheng, and furthermore, not a few of them were well-informed and knew the secrets behind everything.
"Damn, what's going on, Gu Sheng actually showed up?" Someone immediately exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Has this guy lost his mind? Didn't the Gu Family fall from grace precisely because they offended Young Master Ling? And yet he dares to come looking for trouble?" one person muttered in shock.
"As far as I know, Xiao Chubing has some connections with the Murong Family. She was once taken back by them and was almost betrothed to this Gu Sheng.
Later it was Young Master Ling who went up to the West Sacred Mountain in a fury, clashed with the Gu Family, crippled Gu Liangji, and broke Gu Sheng's limbs; it's said even his 'fifth limb' was ruined!
Even when the old patriarch of the Gu Family, Gu Ji, went to seek revenge, he too was slain by Young Master Ling. I really don't know what Gu Sheng is thinking. There's seeking death, and then there's this!" a particularly well-informed disciple from the Inner Academy said with a frown.
The surrounding crowd, upon hearing this, all wore expressions of disbelief and looked at Gu Sheng with eyes full of amazement and confusion.
Gu Sheng stood atop the Qilin statue, his gaze cold, completely ignoring the bustling discussions of the people below.
Soon, he would vent all the pent-up rage in his heart, avenging his previous shame!
Before long, several Elders from the academy also hurried over, including Qi He and his disciple Wu Rao.
Today, Qi He's status had changed dramatically; if not supreme above all, he was nearly there.
In the academy, in terms of speaking power, only the dean ranked above him.
"Hmm? Gu Sheng? Have you gone mad, daring to cause trouble at Zhongnan Academy!" Qi He frowned and immediately questioned.
He was well aware of the few people from the Noble House of the Five Peaks, and now with his changed status, he naturally came into contact with different matters.
Many crucial pieces of information had already been personally passed on to him by the dean.
"Hmph, what are you, let Dean Ge come out and see me!" Gu Sheng coldly swept a glance at Qi He and disdainfully said.
If it were anyone else, he might not have recognized them, but this Qi He, the infamous 'Grand Slam' waste Elder of Zhongnan Academy, he was aware of.
Upon hearing this, Qi He's expression also turned frosty, as he was well-informed about some things regarding this fellow.
"Hmph, I advise you to leave quickly, don't humiliate yourself. Retract what you just said, and I'll act as if I didn't hear it!" Qi He's face darkened as he warned.
"Heh, what if you heard it, teach me then," Gu Sheng sneered coldly.
He was very eager to see the shock on these people's faces when they heard the news of Ling Fan's death!
Just the thought of that scene made him unable to suppress his excitement and anticipation.
"Hmph, do you not know why your Gu Family has fallen to this state?
Xiao Chubing is Young Master Ling's woman; do you know what you're doing? Do you want to bring a catastrophe upon the Gu Family?" Qi He said coldly, his face turning icy.
He couldn't help wondering if this guy's brain had been squeezed in a door or filled with water?
"Gu Sheng, what are you doing here? For the sake of your father, you better leave now. I will as if nothing had been said here!" Suddenly, the dean's figure appeared at the entrance, speaking indifferently.
Seeing the dean appear, Gu Sheng's expression immediately brightened.
With a smile full of satisfaction, he said, "Dean Ge, your Zhongnan Academy is trampled underfoot by a young whelp, and your ancestor has been killed. In your heart, as the dean, you probably pay lip service but are hardly convinced, right?"
Hearing this, Dean Ge instantly got a shock, his face turning ashen and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
This Gu Sheng, damn it, did he have a grudge against him? If these words reached Young Master Ling's ears, goodness, it would be too late even to regret!
"Gu Sheng, 'the master is the teacher of the capable,' I highly respect Young Master Ling. Stop causing trouble here; leave now or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ge Wen said with a heavy voice.
"Hahaha, I can leave, but Dean Ge, hand over Xiao Chubing to me, and I'll go immediately!" Gu Sheng chuckled lightly.
Seeing the situation, Ge Wen's face grew even more unsightly. If Xiao Chubing, one of the women, suffered even the slightest harm under his watch, it would spell absolute doom for him. Ling Fan would likely flay and dismember him, and even that would be getting off lightly.
"Gu Sheng, you've gone mad. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll have to capture you now and wait for Young Master Ling to deal with you upon his return!"
"Hahahahaha..." On hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter and look up to the sky.
"Ge Wen, do you really think I've come here seeking death?
Listen closely with your ears wide open, the Young Master Ling you speak of, he's been blown to pieces in Snow Country!" Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly between clenched teeth.
The moment his words fell, the entire scene went silent as death, the dropping of a needle could be heard!
Everyone's face turned pale with shock, exchanging glances of disbelief!
"Young Master Ling... died?" someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath.
This startling revelation was like the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda or the drying of West Lake, an unimaginable impact on everyone present.
Qi He's throat emitted a gulp, his mind a complete mess as if a meteor had just crashed into the middle of a lake.
Wu Rao next to him opened her mouth, her face reflecting total stupor.
Ge Wen was so shocked that he even stopped breathing for a moment, his face expressing numbness as he looked towards Gu Sheng, his thoughts in disarray!
Gu Sheng, looking at the expressions of the people around him, was filled with joy and extreme satisfaction!
