Capítulo 1045: Chapter 1047: It Doesn’t Matter Anymore
“Sect Leader Gai, you’re joking.”
Seeing Gai Kun extend his hand proactively, Chu Ge couldn’t refuse, so he extended his hand to shake it as well.
However, what was initially just a light touch that could be released imdiately, Chu Ge clearly felt Gai Kun exerting force.
To be precise, he was probing him using True Qi.
Chu Ge’s expression remained unchanged, a slight smile at the corner of his lips, as he returned the True Qi in kind.
Their hands rely lightly clasped, but their souls exited into a space of emptiness.
Chu Ge stood there calmly, glanced around, and said with a slight amusent, “Sect Leader Gai, what is this for?”
Gai Kun lightly coughed and explained, “I have always heard that a young prodigy ca to the Capital City, reaching the level of Innate Grandmaster at a young age, eradicating a sect with individual power. So, I was very curious and wanted to find an opportunity to spar with Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu, do you mind?”
Chu Ge spread his hands; being dragged into this illusion, was there still ti to say he minded?
“Mr. Chu, please make your move.”
Chu Ge shook his head helplessly, such people who directly co looking to fight him were indeed rare. Even Yang Kun under him would only verbally say he wanted to spar.
But this Sect Leader, astonishingly, directly ca for real.
“Sect Leader Gai, fighting the first ti we et might not be good.”
As his words fell, the surrounding white expanse completely changed.
Gai Kun didn’t even have ti to react, only saw Chu Ge slowly lifting his hand and in an instant, both returned to their bodies.
Chu Ge withdrew his hand, smiled, and made a gesture of invitation, “Sect Leader Gai, please sit.”
Gai Kun’s eyes wavered for a mont, then he sat down beside him, internally quite shocked.
What just happened between them was but a matter of seconds to Long Ang and Yang Kun, so they had no idea the two were nearly about to fight.
Chu Ge glanced sideways at Long Ang and said, “Long Ang, go get the Earth Ganoderma that Sect Leader Gai reserved.”
Regarding Long Ang, Gai Kun had previously known, the Team Leader of the Dragon Group, always targeting them in Ancient Martial Arts.
Thus, when he saw Long Ang, his face instantly darkened.
“Team Leader Long, what are you doing here?”
Gai Kun asked coldly.
Long Ang knew where his hostility ca from, he smiled and explained, “I am no longer with the Dragon Group, nor am I the Team Leader. I am just an employee of Mr. Chu now.”
Gai Kun was taken aback and then looked at Chu Ge, puzzled, “Mr. Chu, what does he an by that?”
Chu Ge smiled faintly and said, “Just what he said.”
Gai Kun thought for a mont then ca to realization, “So, Team Leader Long has defected to us in Ancient Martial Arts.”
“No.”
Chu Ge answered on Long Ang’s behalf, “He hasn’t defected to us in Ancient Martial Arts; he is now just an ordinary person.”
Gai Kun recalled how Chu Ge had just managed to break his illusion, and his eyes on Chu Ge noticeably changed. He lightly coughed and then said, “I wonder, Mr. Chu, from whom did you learn?”
Chu Ge chuckled and replied, “I have no master. Since childhood, I was nurtured by watching my grandfather closely, so watching enough, I just learned a few things.”
“Oh?” Gai Kun followed with a laugh, “Seems your esteed grandfather was also a Martial Arts Master. I wonder, his honored self….”
“He passed away.”
Those brief four words imdiately shut Gai Kun up, as pursuing questions about the deceased is always inappropriate, which he was self-aware enough to know.
Long Ang soon brought back the Earth Ganoderma, and evidently having seen Lingzhi before, Gai Kun recognized at a glance that this was a genuine First-level Earth Ganoderma. He promptly handed the money to Chu Ge.
“Mr. Chu, due to the hurried preparations this ti, I hope we have another chance to cooperate in the future.”
Gai Kun said.
Chu Ge maintained a faint smile, nodding slightly as a response.
Then he turned his gaze onto Yang Kun, who since entering, had kept his head down, avoiding eye contact and even looking up at him.
Chu Ge smiled and asked, “Elder Yang, do you have sothing on your mind? Why such an expression?”
Yang Kun glanced up, annoyed, at Chu Ge. This Chu Ge was definitely doing it on purpose! Trying to embarrass him in front of their Sect Leader!
“Oh, Elder Yang, you and Mr. Chu could be considered old acquaintances. Why not even greet each other? Such lack of manners.”
Gai Kun reprimanded.
Yang Kun, resigned, could only say, “Hello, Mr. Chu.”
Yet internally, he thoroughly despised Chu Ge.
He looked up at Chu Ge, pondering for a mont, before speaking, “Mr. Chu, I hope you don’t forget our agreent.”
Gai Kun was taken aback and curiously asked, “Agreent? What agreent do you have?”
Yang Kun pressed his lips tightly, clearly reluctant to say more.
Originally, Gai Kun shouldn’t have asked too much, so he didn’t pursue further and went silent.
“Well, since we have the Earth Ganoderma, let’s return now.”
Gai Kun said.
Yang Kun just nodded without speaking.
Chu Ge made a gesture of invitation, glanced at the work on his desk, and since there wasn’t much left, decided to stand up, move around, and see Gai Kun and the others off.
Once Yang Kun and Gai Kun left, Long Ang curiously approached and asked, “Mr. Chu, did Gai Kun just test you?”
He had felt the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy around, even if only for an instant, but he had caught it.
Chu Ge nodded, gazing ahead and said slowly, “Yes, he tried to fight
using an illusion, but fortunately, I broke his illusion. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so easily.”
Long Ang suspiciously looked in the direction where Gai Kun had departed, “Seems he ca with ill intentions.”
Chu Ge laughed lightly, “Not exactly ill intentions; he’s probably heard sothing about
in the world of martial arts. Coupled with my issues with Yang Kun, his probing is quite normal.”
“It seems Yang Kun holds a deep grudge against you. Eventually, he will co to fulfill your bet.”
Long Ang sighed.
Chu Ge let out a cold laugh, “I now wish that day would co quickly.”
“Why?”
Long Ang was puzzled. Ever since he knew Chu Ge, he felt that unless sothing challenged Chu Ge’s bottom line, Chu Ge would be tolerant. He even suspected it would take soone like Chu Ge to accomplish great things.
Yet the murderous aura that had just emanated from Chu Ge felt unreal to him.
Only for an instant, Chu Ge’s hostility was reined in, sothing he had just noticed.
Since his martial arts were restored by Master Guangde, his heart had softened compared to before. Many matters seed trivial, becoming so indifferent….
