537 Chapter 537 - Each Going Their Own Ways (2/2)
”That whole situation you and Sword Demon have caused, of course! Don't worry; it's all a huge misunderstanding. I've already been informed,” Deep Waters answered.
”Oh, that…” Gu Fei was thinking about this when he got online, but with so many other things happening while he was gone, it had slipped his mind completely. When Deep Waters suddenly mentioned this, he was temporarily reminded of it, and he quickly expressed his regret. ”Really sorry about that. It's my mistake.”
”Ha ha! I already said that it's fine!” Deep Waters patted Gu Fei's shoulder vigorously.
”Yes, so where's Broken Water Arrow?” Gu Fei asked again.
”There's no need to be so serious. Old Broken won't mind things, either. I'll be sure to relay your apology to him when he returns,” Deep Waters benevolently expressed.
”No, I'm looking for him for something else,” he clarified.
”What is it?” Deep Waters casually asked.
”Slay him.”
”What?” Deep Waters' tears nearly fell straight to the ground.
”Don't worry. It's definitely not a mistake this time.” Gu Fei patted Deep Waters' shoulder vigorously in return.
”Hold it. Just what in the world are you guys up to again?” Deep Waters asked.
”This time, it really has nothing to do with you at all. It's a personal grudge,” Gu Fei answered.
”Just what exactly is going on this time?” Deep Waters was depressed. Could he not have a few more happy days? He felt as if everything had just ended a few hours ago, yet something had cropped up again.
”Broken Water Arrow and his other friend have a little conflict with me. Of course, it's got nothing to do with you at all, so you don't have to mind it too much!” Gu Fei replied.
”Don't have to mind that much…” Deep Waters was defeated. ”What are you even saying? You're both my friends; how am I gonna let things slide? Can't everyone just sit down and properly talk about this?”
”You guys can slowly chat about it; I'm a little pressed for time.” Gu Fei patted Deep Waters as he asked, ”So, Broken Water Arrow isn't here yet?”
Deep Waters shook his head in a daze. He felt that he did not have enough brain cells to process everything.
”Then, I'll wait for him here!” Gu Fei pulled out his sword and parked it into the ground. It registered in Deep Waters' eyes in a glimmering blur.
”Say, just what exactly is going on? Can't you tell me about it?” Deep Waters asked.
Gu Fei then began to give him a rundown of what had happened.
”So, from what you've said, Old Broken came to help us entirely because we've lost that competitive quest from before, and what he's doing now is purely to compensate us?” Deep Waters asked.
”Yeah. Helping you guys get stronger so you all can achieve victory in whatever war that's about to occur,” Gu Fei replied.
”And the only reason we have this compensation is because you're far too powerful of an existence to the point that nobody can contend with you and we shouldn't have lost that competitive quest? Thus, they think that we deserve a recompense?” Deep Waters asked.
”That seems to be the case.”
”What sort of convoluted nonsense is that?” Deep Waters was confuddled.
”That's everyone's reaction, too…” Gu Fei nodded. Everybody simply did not understand the theoretical basis behind Ye Xiaowu's argument.
”Does he get to compensate me just because he says he wants to?! Did he even ask me?” Deep Waters was indignant.
”Right?” Gu Fei said.
”Furthermore, the issue he has is with you, all he's got to do is rectify your deeds; why even drag us into it?” Deep Waters asked.
”I found that to be really strange as well!” Gu Fei agreed to his assessment.
”What did you say that guy's name is?” Deep Waters asked.
”Fleeting Smile,” Gu Fei replied.
”So baffling. I'll ask Old Broken about him,” Deep Waters said.
”Yes. Call him over here. I'll have a word with that man once you're done,” Gu Fei encouraged.
Deep Waters glanced at the sword Gu Fei had planted to the ground. ”Are you going to communicate with the man through a language?”
”But of course.” Gu Fei nodded his head and balled up his fists. ”Just through body language, though.”
