Seeing that the two hall masters were about to quarrel again, Long Ci Gu Yilong finally spoke, and after he spoke, both Guo Qianmei and the arrogant Du Shuangying immediately shut up.
As the only person in charge of the Dark Thorns, Gu Yilong is still very prestigious among the Dark Thorns today. If anyone really dares not to take him seriously, even the two hall masters will probably be in trouble.
Keep walking.
Speaking of which, when Gu Yilong learned the news, he was also quite troubled. When he first saw such an amazing and talented disciple like Xue Ningxiang, he thought he had found a treasure.
Later, Xue Ningxiang's performance after coming to Hidden Thorn did not disappoint Gu Yilong. He thought that this was his close disciple, and he would never meet a more evil disciple than Xue Ningxiang.
It's just that Xue Ningxiang has a hot temper, and sometimes she doesn't even listen to her teacher, Gu Yilong, and does things her own way, all based on preference, which makes Gu Yilong wipe her butt several times.
Gu Yilong did not expect that this time when Xue Ningxiang went out on a mission, after successfully completing her assassination mission, she would assassinate a deacon in the middle stage of the Holy Realm of Canglong Emperor Palace.
Nowadays, almost everyone knows about the ambitions of the Canglong Imperial Palace. If it weren't for the Ansashi family's great career, and if Gu Yilong, a top powerhouse, was here, they might have fallen out with each other long ago.
It can be said that the situation between Dark Thorn and Canglong Imperial Palace is quite delicate. Now is the critical moment when any little thing may break the string of balance.
And when such a big event happens at this time, it is like the last straw that breaks the balance.
In the subtle tacit understanding between the two parties before, Gu Yilong could still delay the situation as much as possible to see if the situation would turn around so that he could make the right decision.
But now, Xue Ningxiang, the direct disciple of Gu Yilong, directly assassinated the middle-level deacon of the Holy Realm of Canglong Emperor Palace. If you say that this incident has nothing to do with the assassination, even a three-year-old child would not believe it, right?
"Lord Dragon Thorn, Ningxiang must be severely punished for ignoring your order. At the last moment, handing her over to the special envoy of the Canglong Imperial Palace may be the best way to calm down the anger of the Imperial Palace!"
Du Shuangying, the leader of the dark hall, rolled his eyes. He had always been a faction close to the imperial palace, and he had always been jealous of Gu Yilong receiving such a talented disciple. Now that he said these words, he really killed two birds with one stone.
"What did you say?"
However, just as Du Shuangying finished speaking, under Guo Qianmei's sneer eyes, Gu Yilong turned his head with a serious look on his face, stared at the dark hall master and spoke sternly, startling the latter.
"Du Shuangying, I think you have lost your mind and gone crazy? You actually asked Master Long Ci to hand over his disciple to the enemy?"
Guo Qianmei, the leader of Mingtang Hall, naturally would not miss this opportunity. It seemed that she could hear a hint of gloominess in Gu Yilong's tone, so she mocked him without leaving any room.
"Lord Long Ci, it's now this time. You can't be benevolent as a woman. The so-called annihilation of relatives is the right way. If not, are you sure you can withstand the wrath of the Canglong Emperor Palace?"
Although Du Shuangying was quite wary of Gu Yilong, at this moment everyone was discussing matters, and he believed that as long as he held the truth, Gu Yilong would not dare to do anything to him.
What's more, what Du Shuangying said is not unreasonable. Everyone knows how powerful the Canglong Emperor Palace is. The secret assassin is only feared among ordinary family sects, or some first-rate forces. It is much worse than the Canglong Emperor Palace.
.
This is also the reason why Gu Yilong would rather delay than give a clear answer in the past. With his temperament, how could he let the inheritance of Dark Thorn be cut off in his own hands?
Now that Xue Ningxiang has broken the procrastination trick, everything has reached a point where there is no need to delay. What Du Shuangying said is exactly what the assassination bosses are worried about.
If you can sacrifice one Xue Ningxiang in exchange for a few years of peace in the secret assassination, and even avoid being hostile to the Canglong Imperial Palace, then why not do it. From this point of view, Du Shuangying has indeed made sense.
"Humph, his Canglong Emperor Palace is very powerful, and we, the Dark Assassins, are not vegetarians. If we take ten thousand steps back, even if we cannot defeat him, why can't we escape?"
Guo Qianmei snorted coldly at first, but later on, thinking of the power of the Canglong Imperial Palace, she didn't even have much confidence herself, and she was already thinking about escaping before fighting.
However, the Secret Assassin has been inherited for thousands of years, and the headquarters has been moved several times. After all, this is a mysterious assassination organization. If the location of the headquarters is discovered, there will be no secrets at all.
Especially when thinking about the strength of Canglong Emperor and Lu Qinwan, even though Guo Qianmei was also a strong person at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, she was not sure at all and could only avoid them in fear.
"Escape? Where to escape? In today's Jiuzhong Longxiao human territory, where is still the quiet land? Is it possible to escape to the Northern Demon Realm, or the territory of the alien spirits?"
Du Shuangying glanced at Guo Qianmei coldly, and the series of rhetorical questions left the latter speechless, because what the dark hall master said was the truth, and she was not allowed to refute it at all.
"Where did it go? Now we are discussing Ningxiang!"
Seeing that the two hall masters were beginning to argue with each other again, Gu Yilong couldn't help but bring up the topic again with a gloomy face.
At the same time, I felt that my brain was throbbing slightly, and I really didn't know how to solve this problem.
"Lord Long Ci, this matter must not just go unresolved like this. We must give an explanation to the Canglong Imperial Palace. Even if we don't deal with Ningxiang for the time being, we must at least capture her... and bring her back, right?"
At this time, Du Shuangying knew that it was impossible for Gu Yilong to really hand over Xue Ningxiang, so he immediately thought of a compromise plan. As soon as he said this, many participants nodded slightly.
"The hall master is right. If Miss Ningxiang is allowed to wander around without any control and cause a bigger disturbance, it will really not end well!"
Sitting below Du Shuangying was Yu Kuan, the deputy hall master of the dark hall. Naturally, he wanted to agree with his hall master at this moment. After these words were spoken, even Gu Yilong had no reason to refute.
"Then send someone to bring her back first. This stinky girl... ugh!"
In the end, Gu Yilong made this decision. At the end, he wanted to curse a few words, but it turned into a sigh, making everyone in the hall aware of the entanglement in Master Long Ci's heart.
"Lord Long Ci, Ningxiang is currently in the middle stage of the Holy Realm. I'm afraid sending ordinary people may not be able to bring her back. Why not let Yu Kuan go there in person? What do you think?"
Du Shuangying rolled his eyes and tried to grab this task before Guo Qianmei could speak. At the same time, he winked at Yu Kuan, the deputy hall master next to him, who immediately understood.
"Lord Dragon Thorn..."
"That's all, let Yu Kuan go!"
Just when Guo Qianmei wanted to say something, Gu Yilong couldn't help but waved his hand with a headache, and then turned his gaze to the face of the Mingtang Hall Master, feeling quite helpless.
"Don't I know you yet? You have always loved Ningxiang the most. If she doesn't come back with you by then, could you really have tied her up?"
This may be the reason why Gu Yilong didn't let Guo Qianmei go, or let the latter send someone to go. Because of Xue Ningxiang's straightforward temperament, she has always been closer to people like Mingtang.
Especially Guo Qianmei, as the head of the Hidden Assassination Hall, she has never been married in her life, and naturally has no children. She only has a few disciples who are not very talented, so she is especially fond of the enthusiastic Xue Ningxiang.
Over the past few years, Guo Qianmei has almost regarded Xue Ningxiang as her own daughter. It was precisely because of knowing this and to avoid any mishaps that Gu Yilong rejected her proposal.
"That's...okay!"
Now that Master Long Ci has spoken, Guo Qianmei knows her family affairs, so she will no longer argue. The next moment, she directly turns her attention to Du Shuangying and Yu Kuan.
"Yukuan, I'm warning you, if Ningxiang is damaged in any way when she comes back, I won't be done with you!"
It seems that Guo Qianmei is afraid that Yu Kuan and other secret gangsters will use force on Xue Ningxiang. When the two sides start fighting, it will be bad to hurt her precious eldest lady.
"Don't worry, Hall Master Guo, Miss Ningxiang is a disciple of Master Long Ci, how can I dare to hurt her?"
Yu Kuan was like a smiling tiger, and what he said was correct, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
At that moment, the killers from the two halls dispersed. Suddenly, only Long Ci Gu Yilong and the master of Ming Hall, Guo Qianmei, were left in the entire hall.
"Lord Long Ci, are you really not worried about that guy Yu Kuan?"
After everyone disappeared at the entrance of the palace, Guo Qianmei finally expressed her worries. Even if Yu Kuan had promised well just now, how could the words of these secret hall killers have any credibility?
"Otherwise? If I really want you to go, maybe a few more deacons from the Holy Realm of Canglong Emperor Palace will die!"
Hearing this, Gu Yilong replied angrily. Hearing his words, Guo Qianmei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, secretly thinking that such a thing might really happen.
Let alone the doting of the Mingtang Hall Master towards Xue Ningxiang, Guo Qianmei has never been too cold towards the Canglong Imperial Palace, and even has some disgust. This is a conditioned reflex after learning what the Canglong Imperial Palace has done over the years.
Hidden Assassin Mingtang behaves openly and honestly. Although he uses many methods when assassinating, the people he kills are all treacherous seniors and he never kills innocent people indiscriminately.
In order to annex the major families and sects, the Canglong Imperial Palace did everything possible. If possible, Guo Qianmei really wanted to kill them all, so what Gu Yilong said was not an injustice to her.
"Don't worry, although Yu Kuan is ruthless, he probably won't dare to ignore my orders!"
In the end, Gu Yilong could only comfort him like this, but in the depths of his eyes, there was also a glimmer of worry, not only for Xue Ningxiang, but also for Ansa's future.
