Chapter 3749 Chapter 3751 [The wind is high and the sky is on fire]
The celebration lasted until late at night, and everyone returned home after enjoying themselves, supporting the old and the young.
Xiang Nan also pretended to be drunk and staggered back to the cave where he lived.
The reason why he pretended to be drunk was because he didn't like drinking. Unlike Qiao Feng, Li Xunhuan, and Qi Shaoshang, who would feel uncomfortable if they didn't drink for a day.
He will drink as little as he can, and drink less if he can.
Especially on an occasion like today, he drew the holy sword and became the focus of the audience. Everyone wanted to drink with him. If he didn't pretend to be drunk, he would have been drunk.
So he simply pretended to be drunk and escaped.
After returning to the cave, Xiang Nan meditated with his legs crossed.
In a short time, all the wine he drank turned into water vapor and was expelled from his pores.
Hang Nan then continued to meditate and consolidate his gains.
After he pulled out the holy sword, the holy sword poured powerful energy into his body. A conservative estimate would be equivalent to about thirty years of skill.
For him, it was simply a windfall.
However, the rampage of that energy also injured some of his meridians, so he is now using his energy to treat it. Otherwise, if you leave it alone, it will easily lead to future troubles.
…
An hour passed and Xiang Nan was still practicing.
At this moment, outside the cave, Gu Zi quietly brought in large bundles of firewood.
He wanted to take advantage of tonight, when everyone was drunk and sleeping at the stall, to burn Xiang Nan to death in the cave.
Because he really hated Xiang Nan so much. This man took away everything from him, including women, reputation, status, brothers...all were taken away by him.
Ever since that man came to the island, he had never had a comfortable day.
So he couldn't bear it any longer. He must kill Xiang Nan today. Even if they both die together, he doesn't care at all.
As long as he can get rid of Xiang Nan, he is willing to pay any price.
But when it comes to martial arts, he is not as good as Xiang Nan. So he wanted to block Xiang Nan in a cave and burn him to death with fire.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to carry firewood back and forth to block the cave where Xiang Nan lived despite serious internal injuries.
From his point of view, Xiang Nan was already too drunk and would never notice what he was doing. But once the fire started, the high temperature and the thick smoke made him unable to get out even if he wanted to.
But what Guzi didn't know was that when he was carrying the first bundle of firewood, Xiang Nan had already heard the strange noise outside.
With his clairvoyance, he saw outside the cave that Gu Zi was piling piles of firewood at the entrance of the cave.
Xiang Nan knew at a glance that he was going to set fire to kill people in the dark of night.
"It's a good time." When Xiang Nan saw this, he smiled instead of being angry, "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, only people bring it to themselves. I just happened to send you away for some reason, so I might as well let you destroy yourself."
He had known that Gu Zi had always been unhappy with him, and he had long wanted to get rid of this stumbling block.
Dan Guzi is a native of Wangyou Island, and his popularity, status, and prestige on the island were also very high before. Therefore, if he wanted to harm Gu Zi, the islanders would definitely object, and even Qingqing would be disappointed in him, so he could only give in temporarily.
But as the saying goes, if God does evil, he can still violate it, but if man does evil, he will not live. Murder and arson are considered heinous crimes on Wangyou Island.
Not to mention that he had just pulled out the Full Moon Scimitar and became the hope for the prosperity of Wangyou Island. Guzi wants to set him on fire now. He is simply crazy. He is going against all the islanders. It is strange that he will end well.
At the fifth watch of the day, Gu Zi finally piled enough firewood.
"Ding Peng, don't blame me for being cruel. Who asked you to compete with me for Qingqing and the position of island master? If you don't die, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." He said through gritted teeth, then took out the fire sickle and ignited the firewood.
Seeing the flames getting bigger and bigger, Gu Zi couldn't help showing a happy expression, as if he had already seen Xiang Nan being burned into a roast pig, which made him extremely excited.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
With his martial arts skills, he can escape at any time if he wants to escape.
There is a trick called "Earth Cover" in "The Heavenly Book of Forgetting Love", which can pass through obstacles regardless of the terrain, just like the "Wall Penetrating Technique". There happened to be a hole on the west wall of the cave, and he could drill through it at any time and escape.
Even if he doesn't run away, with his magical body-protecting skills, he has no fear of water or fire. Not to mention just burning him with fire, even if you put him in the fire, you won't be able to burn a hair on him.
So Guzi really sat in a well and looked at the sky, and it was too early to be happy.
…
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the dark night and shouted at Guzi, "Guzi, how dare you kill people and set fires?!"
When Guzi saw it, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
The person who came was none other than Tianxing, the director of the island.
He didn’t expect that his secret plan would be discovered by the island owner. What should he do?
While he was panicking, Ren Tianxing had already rushed into the cave despite the fire and rescued Xiang Nan on the stone platform.
"Island Master~" Gu Zi saw that Xiang Nan was only fainted by the smoke, but his chest was heaving and he was not dead. He couldn't help being disappointed and fell to his knees.
He originally wanted to burn Xiang Nan to death, but that was all. Even if he had to be punished in the future, he would still get what he wanted.
Unexpectedly, the island owner discovered it just after the fire started.
Not only did he catch him on the spot, but he also rescued Xiang Nan in time.
In this way, he not only violated the island's rules, but also failed to kill Xiang Nan. It can be said that he stole the chicken but lost the rice, losing his wife and losing the army.
"Gu Zi, I know you are jealous of Ding Peng and resentful of him. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of you." Ren Tianxing looked at Gu Zi and said, "But I never expected that you would be so heartless and crazy that you would take advantage of the opportunity. The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fires.
You have to know that our Wangyou Island has always been a peaceful, peaceful, supportive and friendly place. But you committed such a heinous act, how do you explain it to the islanders? How do you explain to your dead parents? "
"Island Master, I was wrong." Gu Zi lowered his head and said, "It's just that I really can't calm down. I became extremely angry when I saw him. Only by letting him die can I relieve the hatred in my heart."
"I didn't expect that until now, you are still evil and have no regrets." Ren Tianxing sighed, "That's all, I will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss your punishment."
“Island Master~” Gu Zi burst into tears immediately.
…
Ren Tianxing took Xiang Nan back to his home.
“Dad, what’s wrong with Brother Peng?” Qingqing heard the sound and walked out. Seeing that Xiang Nan’s face was dark and unconscious, she couldn’t help but asked in surprise.
Ren Tianxing briefly told what happened.
“Oh my God, how dare Guzi?” Qingqing was shocked when she heard this. She didn’t expect that Guzi would do such a bad thing. He was worse than a beast.
“Well, I didn’t expect him to be so crazy and devoid of humanity.” Ren Tianxing shook his head, “Okay, take good care of Mr. Ding, and I will call everyone to put out the fire.
Otherwise, if the fire spreads, our Wangyou Island will be in trouble. "
“Okay, Dad.” Qingqing nodded.
