Chapter 759 — Spare Him, Please! Spare Him, Please!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Yet the fact that the Mighty General had barked out — and barked out at the very instant she stepped from the car — was clearly a warning to her! He did not want Gu Mengyao to enter the villa, because there was danger inside!
Gu Mengyao felt deeply moved and deeply grieved all at once. The Mighty General had kept her company through so many lonely days and years, and now he lay on the floor, neither alive nor dead, though from the look of him he plainly would not survive...
In that moment, Gu Mengyao's heart shattered. Tears burst from her eyes, and heedless of everything, she flung herself down onto the floor and gathered the Mighty General into her arms.
"Mighty General, what happened to you? Don't die..." That feeling of losing a family member left the young miss at a loss. In that instant she felt utterly helpless, watching the Mighty General beaten to death before her eyes with nothing she could do.
"Who are you?" Qing Bo knew of the bond between the young miss and the Mighty General, and he too was furious; he fixed Yükun with a cold stare.
"You're Li Fu, aren't you? I've heard of you." Yükun knew he had been found out, yet he was in no hurry to flee! For against Qing Bo, a fellow expert of the late Huang rank, escape would not be easy in the first place! And Qing Bo's level was slightly above his own — the man had already reached the peak of the late Huang rank. The only difference was that Yükun was an inner-family expert while Qing Bo was an outer-family expert, so although Qing Bo's rank was somewhat higher, their true strength was about equal!
If it came to a hard clash here and now, the outcome was anyone's guess. Yükun would not take such a risk — it would likely leave both of them badly wounded. Before coming to the villa, he had made a brief investigation of the people around Wei Zhao, and given the Yu family's web of information, an expert like Qing Bo could not possibly have escaped the Yu family's notice!
The Yu family kept files on nearly every expert in the Min family, and Qing Bo was one of them.
"Who exactly are you? What have you come here for? And you dared strike down Miss Gu's dog?" Seeing Gu Mengyao's grief, Qing Bo had already resolved to keep this man here.
"The Yu family. Yükun." At this point Yükun made no secret of his name, because even if he withheld it now, Li Fu could later learn his identity from Fatty Lai!
Besides, if he did not declare his Yu family ties, then judging by Qing Bo's expression, the man seemed unlikely to let the matter drop. Yükun did not want a fight — he knew he could not beat Qing Bo, and Qing Bo could not hold him either; a hard struggle between them would only leave both sides maimed.
"The Yu family? Yükun?" Qing Bo was taken aback — he had not expected the man before him to be of the Yu family! Qing Bo naturally knew of the Yu family's affairs, and his face darkened at once. That colossal beast, the Yu family, was something even Gu Pengzhan could not afford to provoke, let alone Qing Bo himself!
"Li Fu, you're an outer-family expert at the peak of the late Huang rank, aren't you?" Yükun glanced at Qing Bo and said mildly, "I'm an inner-family expert of the late Huang rank. You can't hold me."
"You — you mean to just walk away like this?" Qing Bo was immediately caught between a rock and a hard place. If Yükun's strength was truly as he claimed, then Qing Bo really could do nothing to him! Inner-family experts were always somewhat stronger than outer-family ones, and the two of them were now evenly matched, so to speak. And Qing Bo also feared his Yu family standing, and dared not strike rashly.
"And if I don't?" Seeing Qing Bo's wariness, Yükun could not help but speak arrogantly.
Gu Mengyao was overcome with grief. The Mighty General in her arms seemed to stir, and a rush of joy went through her; she opened her eyes wide — but the Mighty General never moved again.
