My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS Chapter 659 - 371: The Gu Family Joins, The Death of the Sev

After the three entered the office, Ke Qirui silently closed the door from outside, then leaned against the door fra and was lost in thought, letting out a long sigh.

"Xia Pingzhou, you better take care of yourself..." she murmured to herself.

Inside the office.

"This is our idea," Zhuge Hui said, "What do you think? During our battle with the Nian Beast, we just need you to hold off those bandits. It shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?" He waved his folded fan, smiling as he looked at Gu Zhuo’an and Gu Qiye.

"No way, didn’t my father and brother get beaten half to death by the White Crow Brigade before?"

Su Zimai decisively shook her head.

"I heard soone among you even got scared into wetting themselves," Zhou Jiuya said coldly.

Su Zimai’s face imdiately turned red, and she furrowed her brows in sha and annoyance, her eye corners twitching slightly, as Ke Qirui’s face surfaced in her mind.

It was obvious the leader ntioned this. Thinking of this, Su Zimai took a deep breath, pressing her chest, and thought to herself that she’ll settle this account with the leader later.

She looked up, glaring angrily at Gu Zhuo’an, then at Gu Qiye, "Well, tell , which one of you was scared by the brigade?"

"." Gu Qiye smiled faintly, "Is that enough?"

"The White Crow Brigade..." Gu Zhuo’an whispered hoarsely, lowering his voice.

The mont that na was ntioned, his mind recalled the auction scene of that youth surrounded by crows, and the image of Gu Qiye being besieged until he fell to his knees. At that ti, Urushibara Osamu’s indifferent expression, along with his profound eyes, seed to still linger in front of him.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo’an’s face involuntarily darkened.

Gu Qiye remained silent.

Lin Xingshi was also silent, quietly sitting in the chair from start to finish, her fingers interlocked, staring dazedly at the seascape outside the window, not participating in the conversation.

"Do you understand the situation?" Zhuge Hui opened the folded fan, concealing the lower half of his face.

"Alright, we will help you," Gu Qiye said calmly, "But let’s be clear, our task is only to ensure that during your battle with the Nian Beast, we delay the staff of the White Crow Brigade."

Gu Zhuo’an also slowly lifted his head, his brows tightly furrowed, eting Zhuge Hui’s gaze.

Zhuge Hui understood. For soone as hard to figure out as Ghost Bell, if he didn’t imdiately voice his opposition, it was equivalent to agreeing.

"That’s good enough," Zhuge Hui opened the folded fan, smiling broadly, "Thank you for your help, the two of the Gu Family. So, Captain, do you have anything to add?"

Only then did Lin Xingshi slowly turn her head back; she opened her mouth and said softly, "Then that’s settled."

"I disagree."

In the midst of silence, Su Zimai suddenly looked up and spoke.

Gu Qiye was taken aback.

"Xiaomai, listen." He raised his hand, gently touching the top of her head, bending down to et her eyes, "Or are you saying you no longer trust elder brother and father?"

Su Zimai furrowed her brows, staying silent for a mont, then slowly relaxed her brow, murmuring sowhat confusedly, "The last person who asked to trust him never ca back."

Gu Qiye slightly composed himself and, after a mont, silently withdrew his right hand.

...

...

Also on the morning of August 20th, at Hai Fan Mountain, in the conference space behind the waterfall.

The torches flickered, and on the red cushions sat each of the Zodiac Demons, while on the large central cushion lay a purplish-red giant lion. On its head was a tuft of black mane, its authoritative eyes staring straight at a palm-sized rat-related creature.

"Great Monarch, the Lazy Demon is dead," the Rat Demon said, trembling, "We found her body in a forest on the mountain... Her lower body was still alive, but it soon stopped moving."

"Dead, huh..." The Year Beast Monarch squinted, murmuring thoughtfully.

Then it slowly turned its head, looking at the Gluttonous Demon who was eating in the distance.

After hearing the news of the Lazy Demon’s death, the Gluttonous Demon seed both angry and not, shortly after which its brain turned, thinking it should show an outburst of rage at that mont, so it opened its mouth and roared to the sky. But soon its facial features softened again, rely eating the fruit in its tray.

The Little Nian Beast, lying cross-legged in a corner, rolled its eyes, thinking that its judgnt was indeed correct. Leaving this dumbest of the Seven Deadly Sins behind posed no threat.

Even if the forr Lake Hunter sohow cast a Spiritual Ability on these Seven Deadly Sins demons, such an ability probably wouldn’t work on a "Gluttonous" demon devoid of brain cells.

Fools and idiots are completely immune to Spiritual Abilities because they have no brains.

The hall fell silent; all the Zodiac Demons couldn’t believe this fact. The Great Monarch had always tasked the Rat Demon with secretly tracking the three mbers of the Seven Deadly Sins and reporting any movent to it.

But last night, the Rat Demon was affected by the Lazy Demon’s song, inevitably falling asleep, so it didn’t know what happened afterward.

But the Rat Demon knew that two Exorcists had invaded their territory then; it just hadn’t figured out these two people’s identities yet.

"And what about the Furious Demon?" The Year Beast Monarch pondered for a mont, "What about it?"

"The Furious Demon is currently missing, but perhaps..." the Rat Demon hesitated mid-sentence.

After a long silence, the Year Beast Monarch said softly, "Never mind... You there, co with a mont."
