Chapter 1129: Master (7)
Gu Qingheng’s expression was exceptionally cold and solemn as he swept his gaze over everyone, "Do you... still remember that I am your master?"
The hearts of the crowd all sank slightly. Since they were very young, they had been selected by Changyangzi for training.
Changyangzi taught them different martial arts based on their individual talents, and the first thing they all trained together was loyalty—they could only be loyal to one person, and that person was Changyangzi’s sole disciple, the eldest young master of the Gu Family from the Shu Region.
Even before they had met him, they knew that for their entire lives, their fates would be tied to this eldest young master. If one day the eldest young master no longer needed them, they would have nowhere to go, and ultimately, there would be nothing left for them but death.
After two years of training, they finally met their master. At that time, Gu Qingheng was just six years old, but he looked like an exquisite immortal child, so delightful to them that they were pleased at first sight. Moreover, they, being of the same age as him, were not his match at all, which was a blow to their pride and caused them to train even more desperately.
Everyone gradually grew up, and although they did not see each other often, it was apparent that the master treated them like brothers.
Latterly, when after passing test after test, they finally stayed by the side of their master, who seemed like a banished immortal, their admiration for him grew. But now, the master was questioning their loyalty, which hurt them more than death itself.
Shadow Three was the first person summoned to Gu Qingheng’s side after he had recovered, and since he was also responsible for handling Chai Huan and Shadow Thirteen, he naturally understood why Gu Qingheng was angry at the moment. He quickly spoke up, "My master will always be my master, unless I am dead."
"Is this what all of you think?" Gu Qingheng glanced at the others.
"We swear to serve our master with our dying breath," several people said in unison.
