Chapter 359: Sister-In-Law!

Chapter 359: Sister-In-Law!

Team two from the ancient martial arts world was quite unlucky to have come across a bunch of undead outside the desert town, but fortunately enough they moved out in a team of ten instead of individually, as per Gu Xiqiao’s tradition.

It was true that the power of a team was much more than the individual, and it was because of this that they managed to hold out without any significant losses until Gu Xiqiao and the Peacekeepers came to their aid.

Upon seeing the Peacekeeper’s team one come onto the scene, team two immediately retreated to let the stage out for them to fight.

Upon seeing team two struggling to hold their own against the undead, some of the locals were already prepared to jump into the fray and help them, but before they could, they saw them retreat away from the battlefield. “What’s happening?”

“We’re going to watch them fight.” The team leader of team two was a Baili family member, and now all of the members of the team were looking intently at the battlefield, knowing that team one was the strongest team in the ancient martial arts world. They had never had the honor to see them fight in person except for in videos on forums and in group chats, after all.

“Them?” The locals all looked over to see eleven young people that didn’t look a day past twenty, especially the girl that was standing at the back of the team that seemed like she was lazy to even walk. Were they really here to fight? “Are you sure we don’t need to help?”

“Help?” The leader of team two smiled before patting the shoulder of the dubious local. “It’s alright bro, as long as they’re here, we’ll be alright even if the number of enemies multiplied! You would better off be worried about the mental state of these monsters after this instead of them!”

The local’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the team leader then at the team members that had already become relaxed, not quite sure whether he should believe them.

The members of team two had already sat down on the ground lazily, and were chatting amongst themselves as if they were about to watch an interesting movie. Some of them even took out their phones and mobile devices to record the battle that was about to come.

Gu Xiqiao looked around and realized why team two had such a hard time with the enemy—The entire desert was practically blanketed with a miasma-like evil aura. Said aura could neither be seen nor detected by normal folk and it would control every living being that it touched, so it was understandable that team two had a hard time dealing with it.

Gu Xiqiao scanned the humans and the animals that had been controlled like the miasma, and upon realizing that they were more akin to zombies instead of just simple mind control, she sighed and gestured towards the members of the team.

With a single glance, the members knew what they were supposed to do, so they immediately scattered and started carrying out their operation.

“Why aren’t they fighting and waiting for those monsters to get close? Do they have a death wish?!” One of the locals couldn’t watch any further and stepped forward to try and help, but he barely got two steps in before his hand was gripped by the leader of team two. “Why won’t you let us help them?!”

The leader didn’t reply to this, his attention grabbed completely by the Peace Squad as he muttered, “I’ve heard those people that took part in the ranking battles say that Miss Gu had three main methods of killing enemies, I think they’re going to do a trap-kill!”

“Trap-kill?” The members of team two heard this, and all their eyes brightened in apt interest.

The locals from the desert town wanted to help, but every one of them that tried to move were all pressed down by the members of team two, so they could only watch as the army of monsters surrounded the meager team of eleven members.

The leader of the second team guessed correctly when he said that they were about to use the trap-kill method, since it was the easiest and most suitable way to deal with such a large number of enemies.

Gu Xiqiao stood in the middle with her arms around her chest while the others moved within a circle radius around her, and they all baited and lured the monsters together before scattering apart again.

Yao Jiamu had already pulled out a longsword that had been gifted to him by Gu Xiqiao, and as he swung it in front of him, a blinding sword aura could be seen flying in the direction of the enemies!

The most important part of the trap-kill was to keep the enemies confined in one place, and since none of the members of the team knew how to create an array, Gu Xiqiao threw a few pieces of jade into the sky, making the air ripple and become a semi-spherical barrier that locked all of the monsters inside.

Xiao Yun clenched her fists slightly before lashing out and grabbing the tail of a lizard that had been mutated to several times its size, swinging it around her in a circle and sending the monsters that surrounded her flying into the transparent barrier. The moment those monsters dropped to the ground with a thud, Wu Hongwen sent them flying again with his staff before they were all chopped into shreds by Yao Jiamu’s blade.

The members of team two all looked on in awe at this scene, and it was definitely a different experience to see such a brutal fight in person.

Even those puppet-like zombies all slowed their movements and curled into themselves as if they were subconsciously afraid of continuing to fight with these people.

“Team leader.” One of the member’s lips twitched slightly, their eyes wide open in awe. “Now I know why those people keep their mouth shut after they’ve watched the Peacekeepers at work, I wouldn’t be able to describe such a scene either…As expected, we’re lightyears away from where they are right now, aren’t we?”

The team leader nodded. “These people were trained by Miss Gu herself after all, and are the strongest ones even within the Peacekeepers!”

“Ah, right…” The team leader turned his head to look at the locals that had already been shocked stiff by what they were seeing. “Don’t be too surprised, this is the strongest team in all of the ancient martial arts world. If the danger doesn’t pass, you’ll see them again soon enough…Right, you aren’t listening to me. That’s understandable.”

He could understand their reaction—These were regular people that had just come into contact with the existence of the ancient martial arts world after all, and it had probably been the first time that they’ve been met with such violence…Would this scene cause trauma for them?

The locals had already gone weak from fright, and if it weren’t for the fact that they were being supported by the members of team two, they would have already sat onto the floor in fright.

Not an hour later, the members of Peacekeeper’s team one were already done with the fight, and somehow, the locals found it even scarier when those demon-like warriors walked over to them while chatting and laughing?!

“Miss Gu!” The members of the second team all stood up straight and called respectfully.

Gu Xiqiao looked at the team leader for a short moment to recall his name. “Baili Shuo, I’ll leave the rest to you okay?”

It was common knowledge by now that the people from Peace Manor (Gu Xiqiao especially) didn’t like to deal with the aftermath of their fights, so they all nodded in understanding. “Alright Miss Gu, we’ll deal with everything here on out. The town is just nearby, do you want to go take a look?”

After he said so, Gu Xiqiao assessed the surroundings again before nodding. “Have any strange occurrences been happening lately?”

No one knew better of the answer to this question than the locals, after all, so Bail Shuo had one of the locals explain the current situation to her.

As she walked, she used her mental energy to check out the surroundings as she listened to what the locals had to say.

“Say, how does Miss Gu know your name?” Meanwhile, Baili Shuo had already been surrounded by envious and jealous gazes. Didn’t this guy say that he didn’t know anyone from the Peace Manor? Since when did he get involved with Miss Gu!

Baili Shuo flipped his hair flamboyantly. “Why, it’s because of my charms, of course!”

“Huh, would you mind if I record that for Young Master Jiang?” One of the members chuckled evilly.

Baili Shuo immediately admitted defeat upon hearing that name. “You guys all know that Miss Gu has an insanely strong memory, so she probably remembered my name from the times she came to visit the Baili family.”

“So that’s why.” One of the members sighed softly. “Why wasn’t I born as a Baili? Why does Miss Gu treat your family so well in the first place?”

“She calls our Young Master big brother!” Baili Shuo boasted with a proud smile.

Upon seeing this, all of the members started beating him up playfully.

As Baili Shuo shouted for mercy, he noticed a large shadow fly through the sky in Gu Xiqiao’s direction, and upon seeing that the girl was still in the middle of talking with one of the locals, his expression changed and he shouted, “Miss Gu, watch out!”

Gu Xiqiao raised her head when she heard Baili Shuo call her name, and the shadow speeding in her direction was reflected in her eyes.

They had already made their way to the desert town, and right at the entrance of the town was a bunch of local townspeople gathered together in wait for them, but before they could cheer that the monsters had been slain, they were met with such a terrifying scene.

They were all scared for that beautiful girl!

Gu Xiqiao stood there and watched the shadow speed towards her without a single motion, her hands stuck in her pockets, and if one looked closely enough, you could see the hint of a smile at her lips.

The shadow dove down towards Gu Xiqiao, its talons as sharp as knives barely grazing the top of Gu Xiqiao’s head as it seemingly tried to grab her…

Huh?

The shadow tried to move…Why couldn’t it move anymore?

It lowered its head in confusion and saw a pair of cold and deep eyes, and the malice in that gaze made it clear that if the shadow dared move again its head would be snapped clean off.

It was only then that it realized that lithe fingers had already wrapped around its neck, and it fluttered its wings flusteredly.

Its eyes immediately looked up to the chiseled face, and when it saw the handsome man in front of it, it begged with a trembling voice, “M-M-Master, I’m just joking-”

Those cold eyes squinted slightly and he pursed his lips slightly, before chucking the black eagle away like a projectile into the distance.

Everyone looked at that figure and that familiar visage, and it was Jiang Shuxuan!

“Young Master Jiang!” Everyone in team two greeted in fear and respect.

Baili Shuo did the same, but he was also fearing for his life and praying that Jiang Shuxuan hadn’t heard what he said earlier.

Xiao Yun and the others were more comfortable with Jiang Shuxuan’s presence at this point, and after greeting him they all started chatting, with Wu Hongwen commenting, “I knew Er Qiao wouldn’t be so hardworking as to come to the middle of nowhere without any reason, it was because he was here!”

Xiao Yun glanced over to the black eagle that Jiang Shuxuan chucked into the distance. “Xixi’s going to have a fun toy to play with!”

“It does seem quite strong.” Yao Jiamu nodded. “Xixi might not be a match for it.”

Gu Xiqiao looked at Jiang Shuxuan dazedly for a short moment before smiling. “Didn’t you say that you would only be able to come out by tomorrow?” She was already prepared to stay a night in the desert town.

Jiang Shuxuan nodded. That was supposed to be the case, but he couldn’t help but come out when he felt her presence.

His gaze was focused and earnest as if he had something that he wanted to say.

“Brother Jiang, what’s wrong?” Gu Xiqiao sighed and asked with a small smile.

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t reply and only looked up and around, his fingers gripping into his palms as they trembled slightly, and upon seeing such a reaction, Gu Xiqiao looked in the same direction as Jiang Shuxuan did in confusion. What was going on?

It was at that moment that nine helicopters flew in from the distance as nine teams of well-trained soldiers jumped down from the air in a single fluid motion that had the local girls scream!

Every one of these men held a bouquet of fresh flowers in their hand, and one could still see droplets of water on their petals.

Everyone was shocked silent by this scene!

Yi Bing solemnly handed Jiang Shuxuan the biggest bouquet as well as a small box.

Jiang Shuxuan finally managed to smooth out his nerves as he took over what Yi Bing gave him and looked back at Gu Xiqiao with a warm and earnest gaze, his low voice rumbling as he gave her the bouquet of flowers, “Marry me!”

After he said so, he glanced back at the Mahjong Corps behind him.

All of them kneeled down at the same time and raised the bouquets in their hands in Gu Xiqiao’s direction, before shouting, “Sister-In-Law!”
