Chapter 935: Chapter 743: Don’t Let My Man Get Beaten to a Pulp
"Your son-in-law is fearful!" Zhou Mu bowed his head once again.
"Just a word of fear and that’s it? Rumors are spreading throughout the city, everyone is talking about the Southern Emperor and you. My son was born gifted, even if he acted improperly, there’s divine forgiveness, but you, as her fiancé, not only failed to advise her, but also indulged in such behavior! You left her deeply trapped in rumors, subject to criticism!" Gu Taitian stared sharply at Zhou Mu, continuing with a deep voice, "You struck the city gate, Zhou Mu, you have quite the authority! Disrupted the traveling palace, Zhou Mu, you have quite the manners! As for the kitchen incident, Zhou Mu, you have quite the style! If that were all, you dare to serve inedible food to my son, causing her intestines distress, how can I tolerate you!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately coughed several times, covering her face and turning her head to the side, not daring to meet the gaze of her evildoer.
Zhou Mu furrowed his brows, glanced at his wife, and then thought, he seemed to have forgotten to taste the food he made himself, could it really be that Changsheng got a bad stomach?
"It is my fault! I will diligently practice to master my culinary skills!" In a certain sense, Zhou Mu was a very stubborn person, thus, he immediately spoke in a deep voice, offering his assurance.
Gu Changsheng heard this, her face darkened, looking back at her evildoer in disbelief.
Oh my god! Again!
When will this "loving meal" cooked by her evildoer ever end?
Will she be able to survive? And he swears to master culinary skills, she already knew, her evildoer was simply not cut out to be a chef, completely lacking that talent!
A foodie requires no talent, good teeth are enough! But to cook, you need talent! Clearly, her evildoer doesn’t have it!
Gu Changsheng was on the verge of tears, what is hitting yourself with a rock, this is never-ending!
Gu Taitian was pleased with Zhou Mu’s answer, although it did not show on his face, making him appear increasingly unfathomable. He did not care how many kitchens of the civil and military officials under Great Zhou were ruined by Zhou Mu, he only pitied his daughter for having eaten awful food!
Even small couples have their moments of enjoyment, thus it is well!
However, Gu Taitian evidently did not intend to let it rest, but rather looked far into the distance at Zhou Mu, speaking in a deep voice, "I’ve long heard that my son’s fiancé is gifted with divine martial skills. Today, as this is the first time we meet as father-in-law and son-in-law, let me challenge you and see your true skill, lest my son suffers grievances at your hands in the future, and I, as her father, cannot stand for her!"
The words were spoken...
All around, people who heard it twitched the corners of their mouths.
It seems the Little Monk Bu Jie really spoke prophetically, with Gu Taitian saying this, if Zhou Mu dares to win, that would be like seeing a ghost!
If Zhou Mu does not show some real skill, he will certainly be despised by Gu Taitian! But if he beats Gu Taitian in a move or two, causing him to be unable to stand for his daughter in the future, and he gets angry, the daughter won’t marry, then what should be done?
People immediately understood the meaning in Gu Taitian’s words.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Gu Taitian gave a slight smile.
"Father, this is not a joke, the evildoer’s kung fu... if there’s a slip..." Gu Changsheng hurried forward and spoke.
If there’s a slip and he injures you, who will compensate her father!
"My child, you underestimate your father!" Gu Taitian chuckled softly, his scholarly demeanor suddenly changed, becoming grand and impressive, with a faint aura of dominance, "Back then I exhausted most of my cultivation to continue the bloodline of the Witch and Gu Tribes, now that Manman is revived, the cultivation I lost has naturally returned to me. Your father is well-versed in mysticism, combining it with martial arts. Your choice of a husband hasn’t even reached the transformative realm; even if he has, your father is not without the power to fight!"
Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded upon hearing this, looking at her father in disbelief, as if she were meeting him for the first time.
Seeing this, Gu Taitian raised his hand to rub her hair bun, sighed softly, and spoke warmly, "A child should be like me, with such stubbornness, if I don’t have a little ability, what can I do if my child gets bullied in the future? If that truly happens, your mother will surely blame me!"
"Father..." Gu Changsheng replied, her face pale, speaking hesitantly, "Really going to fight? In front of such a large audience, so many people watching! If the two of you start fighting, what will it look like..."
Her face! It’s completely lost!
She suddenly felt like a little daughter protected under her father’s wing, the feeling came so unexpectedly, it made her very sad...
"Taking my daughter away while I was absent, it’s inevitable that I should fight! I’ve heard that father-in-law teaching the son-in-law has existed since ancient times in Great Zhou, even if he is born from the Imperial Family, it is no exception!" Gu Taitian waved his sleeve, speaking in a deep voice to the crowd, "Everyone, retreat ten yards!"
"Father!" Gu Changsheng worriedly glanced at her father, then looked at Zhou Mu, who stood there calmly, wanting to cry but with no tears.
"Step back!" Gu Taitian shouted coldly!
Gu Changsheng was helpless, to be honest, she was really a bit afraid of her father, because ever since recognizing her father, her father’s dedicated love was too easy-going, and because it was too easy-going, it made her anxious at heart. To put it bluntly, the saying goes that a barking dog seldom bites, Gu Changsheng had a subtle intuition that if her father doesn’t get angry, it’s fine, but once he does, it will certainly cause a storm!
After all, back then her father was revered as the master by the Witch and Gu Tribes for his ability to continue their bloodline single-handedly, which was such a defiant act, and her defiant father actually did it; even Manman admired Gu Taitian for it!
He used mysterious force to enter the martial dao, forcibly sealing Manman’s divine soul, who else in the world could do that?
The people around began to retreat, someone had already driven the carriage into the Heavenly Palace, and for a moment, a ten-yard wide space appeared at the gate of the Heavenly Palace.
Before retreating, Gu Changsheng pulled at her father’s sleeve, hesitantly speaking, "Father, this is your son-in-law, be gentle with him, don’t accidentally beat my man too hard..."
"Useless!" Gu Taitian frowned and shouted in a low voice upon hearing this.
Not far in front of him, Zhou Mu’s expression suddenly blossomed like Chun Hua.
Her man!
The way he said it, he really enjoyed it!
Gu Changsheng pouted, retreating step by step up the stairs, really hoping her old dad would change his mind!
Street corner lessons for sons-in-law, not necessary at all!
She believed that in the future, the chances of her being wronged were very, very small!
"Dad, how about we change the place for the fight? The traveling palace is quite spacious!" The main point being, there wouldn’t be so many onlookers! Gu Changsheng opened her mouth without giving up and shouted toward the two in the field.
"You shut up for me! It’s good I didn’t reprimand you, and you still dare to plead for him here! Your foster father has already told me, this fellow disregards etiquette and acts recklessly, he deserves this disaster!" Gu Taitian, seeing that his daughter was still not giving up, immediately spoke coldly.
"But if one of you gets hurt, I would be heartbroken!" Gu Changsheng transformed into an unkillable cockroach, determined to obstruct stubbornly.
After all, her family’s evildoer suffering this disaster, she had some blame to bear too!
She, not being a conscientious person, would feel somewhat troubled not to say anything!
Of course, it was limited to feeling troubled, she dared not step forward to let her old dad domestically discipline her!
"Aren’t you a doctor? If anyone gets hurt, isn’t there still you?" Gu Taitian rolled his eyes at his daughter in the field, "Don’t think I don’t know your little scheming, you are my daughter, I understand what you’re thinking clearly!"
As Gu Taitian spoke, he stretched his hand forward and pinched his fingers.
Gu Changsheng saw this and shivered slightly.
Oh my god, she had actually forgotten, makeup techniques from her past life were amazing, but her old dad also came from the past life!
What she knew, her old dad naturally knew!
Swiftly she covered her cheek, just now, when her old dad tidied her sideburns, it seemed he touched her cheek a bit!
Wuwu... it must have left some powder! Her old dad had long known she was pretending to be sick!
All her efforts pretending dead and alive before her old dad were just for his amusement!
It felt like being a monkey and watching a performance!
Gu Changsheng immediately went silent!
Deeply mournful!
With Gu Changsheng silenced, the people in the field found peace, and they were about to engage.
The onlookers nearby were quite worried, like Yuan Bao.
He knew the skills of his master, if they started fighting, with blades and swords being blind, within this ten-zhang area, his master’s inner strength would definitely spread beyond, and if unlucky, even the Heavenly Palace Gatehouse might be turned to dust!
Those who understood martial arts were worried, but in the field, Gu Taitian laughed lowly, his face’s slight wrinkles spread, his robe sleeves fluttered, and within a blink of an eye, dozens of small command flags about half a foot long fluttered out, accurately inserting into the blue stones at the ten-zhang boundary.
"This is the Eight Trigrams Sealing Formation, though we spar, the inner strength will not spread outside at all!" Gu Taitian spoke with a smile, looking at the tall figure of Jade Tree of Qiong Branch before him, a deep satisfaction hidden in his eyes, "Zhou Mu, lad, show your best skills, or else I will not be impressed!"
Zhou Mu looked at the flags embedded all around, his expression more solemn than ever.
Outsiders might not feel anything, but being in the formation, the mysticism was known only then, he could clearly feel that the entire atmosphere around him had changed, seemingly suppressed by some kind of magical force!
Enter martial arts through mysticism, it was unprecedented in his lifetime, and this father-in-law really made him see in a different light!
"Thanks for Father-in-law’s guidance, your son-in-law is grateful!" Zhou Mu cupped his hands respectfully and spoke.
"No idle talk, get on with it!" Gu Taitian gave a faint smile, one hand behind his back, the other stretched forward, making a gesture of invitation.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, everyone’s hearts in the surroundings were in their throats, especially Gu Changsheng who stood on tiptoe, staring unblinkingly at the two figures in the field who were entangled in a blink...
