Chapter 1345: Clues
Even Ye Qing had only managed to severely injure the Thousand Hand Buddha of the Night. He wasn’t able to kill it once and for all.
It was, of course, very much within his capabilities to kill the Thousand Hand Buddha of the Night, but he would need to go all out and pay too big a price. That was why he only dealt it a severe blow. In the short term at least, the Thousand Hand Buddha of the Night would not be showing its ugly face anymore.
“Hahaha! As expected of the Mad Lord!” Gu Suitang laughed while still striking Ye Qing’s shoulder.
Gu Suitang’s gesture did not irritate Ye Qing. On the contrary, he felt nostalgic. He still remembered Gu Suitang slapping his shoulder like this back when he first joined the Luo Shui Pacification Bureau. Gu Suitang had not used much strength, but it was almost enough to break him and put him in bed for days. But today, it no longer hurt one bit. In fact, he knew that Gu Suitang could hit him with all his strength and still not injure a hair on his person.
Gu Suitang was feeling nostalgic as well. Just a couple years ago, Ye Qing was still a weak but good-hearted young man who needed his protection and guidance. Now, he had become a titan that even he had to strain his neck to look at. No wonder they said that heroes were made young.
Gu Suitang did not feel jealous toward Ye Qing though. On the contrary, he was filled with pride and happiness for the young man. He said wholeheartedly, “You did well, Joyless... you did really well.”
“Thank you, chief.” Ye Qing saluted him. “Joyless have never forgotten your teachings, and I feel no desire to start now or in the future. That is why Joyless will continue to get better.”
“Good, good.” Gu Suitang sighed and cast a sideway glance at Lin Yuhuai. Then, he said with a clear tinge of disappointment, “Yuhuai, look at him, and then look at yourself! Have you fed all the martial arts you’ve learned to the dogs? You should have become a Trueman by now. How disappointing.”
“You’re right, chief.” Lin Yuhuai let out a bitter chuckle. He was now a late-stage Spirit Master, and in the jianghu, no one could say that he wasn’t a talented youngster. Compared to Ye Qing though? It was no exaggeration to say that he was barely better than dogshit. That was why he could only accept Gu Suitang’s needling without resistance.
“Oh right, where is Chief Fang and Nianjiu, chief? Weren’t you together?”
Ye Qing changed the topic after chatting with Gu Suitang and Lin Yuhuai for a bit.
