Chapter 170 - Chapter 170 170 Cheng Tianxin (2/2)
“What?”
Father and daughter, Cheng Tianxin, exclaimed in unison.
In recent years, no, for the past decade, Gu Yang has arguably been the most talked-about figure.
Ever since he ranked on the Hidden Dragon List a few months ago, discussions about him have become increasingly prevalent.
His deeds are extraordinary, one after another, continuously astonishing everyone.
Not too long ago, rumors spread about Gu Yang beating the Lin family’s Divine Power-level fighter in Jiangzhou City, propelling his reputation to its peak.
His experiences are unbelievable, bordering on the mythical.
These incidents are so extraordinary that you can’t help but believe them. Among them, the ranking released by Red Mansion, it is impossible to be false.
The credibility established by Red Mansion over a thousand years has deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Now, this legendary figure had actually arrived at the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.
Cheng Tianxin hurriedly apologized, “I didn’t recognize you, Mr. Gu. I apologize for my daughter’s rudeness. I hope you won’t take offense.”
Gu Yang smiled and said, “Master Cheng, no need for formalities. Your daughter is lively and straightforward, I find her very adorable.”
By now, Cheng Qingyu had abandoned her previous insolence, realizing she had mistaken the person, she hid behind her father with some embarrassment on her face.
“Mr. Gu, you didn’t mention your visit to Divine City beforehand.”
Cheng Xue, who had always been grateful to her savior, said.
Gu Yang laughed, “Well, I’m here now. As I don’t know anyone in Divine City, I hope to stay a few days here.”
Cheng Xue was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to agree. With Gu Yang here, it would certainly deter Guo Taiping.
However, she held back and looked towards her adoptive father.
Cheng Tianxin sighed hesitantly, “I’m afraid we might have some inconveniences today. How about this, Xue, why don’t you let Mr. Gu stay at your place for a few days?”
Cheng Xue inwardly felt bitter, she knew that her adoptive father would not let Gu Yang stay at the martial arts hall at a time like this.
“Oh? What does Master Cheng have going on today?” Gu Yang asked.
Peeking out from behind her father, Cheng Qingyu blurted, “A jerk is coming to challenge our martial arts hall…”
“Qingyu!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was silenced by a sharp look from her father. She stuck her tongue out in response, daring not to say more.
“Is the one who’s coming to challenge the hall Guo Taiping?” Gu Yang asked.
Cheng Tianxin replied, “Yes, it is.”
Gu Yang laughed, “I’m afraid he won’t make it today.”
“Why is that?” Cheng Tianxin and the rest were puzzled.
Before Gu Yang could say anything, Feng Tianci, who was standing behind him, couldn’t help but say, “On our way here, we blocked Guo Taiping’s path. He tried to act unruly until Brother Gu taught him a lesson. I reckon he’s too ashamed to show up.”
After hearing this, Cheng Tianxin and the others were stunned.
Both Cheng Xue and Cheng Qingyu were overjoyed.
Cheng Tianxin’s expression, however, was somewhat complicated. Looking at Gu Yang, he could only accept this favor, “Mr. Gu, please come in.”
Upon entering the gate, there was a large martial arts practice field with dozens of disciples divided into small groups, practicing their martial arts.
Seeing the two carriages moving in, these disciples were intrigued.
After waiting for a long time, Guo Taiping hadn’t arrived, but now these few people had. They couldn’t help but wonder who these new arrivals were.
By the time they were eating lunch, someone with reliable information found out that the guests who had visited the martial academy in the morning were led by none other than Gu Yang.
This created an even bigger stir than when they had heard that Guo Taiping was going to challenge Master Cheng.
This was Gu Yang!
The man who had defeated the top-ranked pride of the First Rank list, alleged to have overcome the Divine Power Realm, an unparalleled figure throughout history.
In terms of reputation, Guo Taiping wasn’t even worthy of being his shoeshiner.
So Gu Yang had come to Tianxin Martial Arts Hall. At this point, all the disciples at the academy felt an immense pride.
No one was in the mood to practice martial arts anymore, everyone wanted to meet Gu Yang.
Many people were regretting not having taken a closer look when the carriages passed the martial arts field in the morning, thus missing the opportunity to see the face of this unparalleled genius.
Later, they found out that Guo Taiping had bumped into Gu Yang on the way and was severely injured by Gu Yang with one palm strike.
No wonder Guo Taiping hadn’t shown up yet, so that’s what happened.
So much for being supreme, he’s just plain foolish—did he consider Divine City just any other place? He wanted to act tyrannically, well, he’s now kicked an iron plate. Serves him right!
