Chapter 42: Blind Ah, First Update, Please Collect

  "I think everyone must have a question in their mind, who is qualified to receive this medal? And what did he do to deserve it?" Mo Gu Yun said with a smile.

  "Your Excellency, County Master." A middle-aged man spoke up, who was none other than Wu Yun City's City Master, Wu Qiyun.

  Wu Qiyun said: "Please tell me, Your Highness, who is this person?"

  Mo Gu Yun glanced at everyone and restrained his smile, saying: "Don't be in a hurry, before announcing this person, I want to say something first."

  Mo Gu Yun paused for a moment before continuing.

  "This person may seem to everyone as someone who doesn't deserve this medal, and in fact, that's true. This person may not be qualified now, but I believe that awarding this person with this medal will be a very correct decision. Also, this medal won't be awarded publicly, after the celebration banquet, I'll present it privately. Everyone just needs to know that Yīn Yún County has its fourth Yīn Yún Guardian Medal winner."

  Mo Gu Yun's words made the people below even more astonished. Not qualified to award medals, but want to award medals without letting anyone know? What kind of logic is this?

  But these words, people can only ask in their hearts, no one dares to ask out loud. After all, Mo Gu Yun is the master of a state. What he says is the law, and no one in Gu Yun State can oppose him.

  "Alright. Let's start our celebration feast now. Everyone, let's drink to our hearts' content!" Mo Gu Yun raised his wine cup again and laughed loudly.

  "Cheers!" "Cheers!"

  "Cheers!"

  The banquet hall was once again plunged into a frenzy. And now, the center of the entire banquet is undoubtedly Mu Rong Luo Yang, the lord of Luo Yang City. In ten years of building the city, he achieved seventh place in the first county competition and won the championship in the second competition. This can be described as a miracle. All the lords of the cities are toasting with Mu Rong Luo Yang, and now Mu Rong Luo Yang can be said to be the most popular person next to the lord of Gu Yun County.

  Qin Lang, on the other hand, was dodging and hiding, evading the Water Fairy's encirclement. He even felt that this Water Fairy was more troublesome than the beasts he had encountered in the mountains.

  Qin Langzheng was walking with his head down in the banquet hall, dodging left and right, without noticing what was in front of him. "Bang" - he bumped into someone.

  "Sorry, sorry. Hot water is coming, hot water is coming. Borrowing, borrowing for a moment." Just as he was about to lower his head and dodge around the corner, he was suddenly lifted up by the collar of his shirt by that person.

  "Ah, you Qin Lang, come and pour me a cup of boiling water." The person who was bumped into said with a jest.

  "Wait a minute, just about to... huh?" Qin Lang was about to bluff his way out of the situation when he suddenly realized that this voice was eerily familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. But with his collar being grabbed, at this moment he was facing away from the person.

  Suddenly, Qin Lang remembered that this voice was the voice of Gu Yunjun, who had just spoken on stage. Qin Lang was startled, what's going on?

  "Your Ladyship? I must have lost my eyesight, to actually bump into Your Ladyship. I hope Your Ladyship will forgive me." Qin Cang was flustered and had bumped into the noble lady, yet he still dared to try to deceive her? Damn it, what a blind dog's eye!

  Mo Gu Yun threw Qin Guang to the ground with one hand, although he didn't use much force, Qin Guang cooperated very well and stumbled a few times, looking like he couldn't stand steadily.

  Qin Huan swiftly turned around, got down on one knee and bowed his head beside Mo Gu Yun. The Water Fairy also caught up at this moment, but found Qin Huan kneeling beside Mo Gu Yun, momentarily unclear of the situation, and not daring to utter a word.

  Mo Gu Yun looked at Qin Lang with a serious face and an extremely angry expression, seemingly very dissatisfied with Qin Lang's sudden outburst.

  "Qin Lang, do you know your crime?" Mo Gu Yun said with a stern face.

  "The humble one knows his fault, please let the young master punish him." Qin Lang said with a fearful tone.

  "Hmph, since you want me to punish you, I'll do as you wish. But I need to think about how to punish you." Mo Gu Yun's tone was still icy cold, his face growing increasingly darker, as if he had already reached the peak of anger.

  While Shuixian saw that things were not going well, she shouted loudly in her heart and quickly took a few steps forward. She reached out to Mo Gu Yun and said: "Your Excellency, the young master Qin is ignorant and unintentionally offended Your Excellency. I hope you won't take it to heart."

  The people inside the hall also noticed the commotion and turned to look over here. To their surprise, they found Qin Lang kneeling in front of the county master, as if he had offended the county master.

  But this scene also made some people secretly rejoice. Qin Guang made a big splash in the county comparison, everyone could see that Luoyang City was able to win first place, all thanks to Qin Guang's desperate counterattack. The gun shoots out the leading bird, Qin Guang's outstanding performance naturally led to some people's envy and jealousy. I thought Qin Guang would get the appreciation of the county master, but unexpectedly it seemed that he had offended the county master at this moment.

  One by one, quietly and unobtrusively, just like watching a good show.

  Look over here.

  "Qin Lang, you think that just because you performed well in the Great Comparison, you can be arrogant? Do you really think I don't dare to punish you?" Mo Gu Yun coldly shouted.

  "Narcissus, this has nothing to do with you, shut your mouth." Narcissus was about to speak up for Qin Cang, but was directly interrupted by Mo Gu Yun.

  At this time, a group of people from Luoyang City also rushed over. Murong Luoyang walked in the front, came to Mo Gu Yun's side, just about to speak, but Mo Gu Yun didn't even turn his head and walked away, not giving him a chance to speak. Only Qin Ceng was still kneeling on one knee, Shuixianhua looked at Murong Luoyang, constantly winking, hinting that he should plead for Qin Ceng.

  Murong Luoyang walked up to Qin Cang and asked: "What's going on?"

  Qin Guang was about to speak when he heard Mo Gu Yun's cold shout coming from afar: "Qin Guang, follow me. No one else is allowed to come along."

  Qin Huan's face fell, his eyes red and puffy, a picture of sorrow. His gaze lingered on Murong Luoyang before slowly moving away, as if bidding farewell to the dead. He could only follow Mo Gu Yun and leave together. As they made their way through the crowd, Qin Huan looked extremely tragic.

  Mo Gu Yun strode forward, passing through the corridors one by one, while Qin Cang could only closely follow behind Mo Gu Yun. These corridors, in Qin Cang's view, were like solitary wooden bridges, and he walked extremely unsteadily.

  Mo Gu Yun walked to a room, pushed open the door and went in. The door didn't close after he entered. Qin Lang followed him into the room and carefully closed the door.

  The room wasn't very big, except for the wall where the door was located, the other three walls were lined with bookshelves, filled with all sorts of books. Qin Cang guessed that this should be Mo Gu Yun's study. In the middle of the house, near the inner position, there was a desk, behind which was a rattan chair. At this time, Mo Gu Yun was sitting crookedly in the rattan chair, smiling at Qin Cang.

  Qin Lang's heart was still uneasy at this time, looking at Mo Gu Yun's smile, Qin Lang felt more and more that something was off, his heart tightened like a chrysanthemum, and his toes gripped the soles of his shoes tightly.

  "Haha!" Seeing Qin Liang's worried and frightened expression, Mo Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh even harder.

  After a while, Mo Gu Yun finally stopped smiling and looked at Qin Cang with a playful gaze, saying: "Qin Cang, scared stiff, huh? Do you think I'm just a moody freak?"

  Qin Lang knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I dare not! The young master of the county is a great talent, I was blind to rush into the young master of the county."

  "Alright, get up." Mo Gu Yun waved her hand and said: "I, the esteemed Princess of Gu Yun, wouldn't be angered by your blind collision, would I?"

  Although Mo Gu Yun spoke up, Qin Lang still didn't dare get up, he had been scared stiff.

  "Alright, I'm really not angry, you can get up now." Mo Gu Yun slightly withdrew his smile and said softly.

  Mo Gu Yun seemed to be really not angry, Qin Lang finally let out a breath and slowly got up from his seat, stealing a glance at Mo Gu Yun, seeing that he was calm and composed.

  "Qin Lang, do you know why I brought you here?"

  "I don't know." Qin Lang's mind was indeed a mess, and he couldn't grasp the situation at all. Was Mo Gu Yun's previous outburst in the hall just an excuse to bring him here? What was the real reason for bringing him here?

  "Do you still remember this beast crystal?" Mo Gu Yun looked at Qin Lang and took out a beast crystal, placing it on the desk.

  Qin Lang looked over and found that it was a red beast crystal, which seemed to be rarely seen before. After a moment, he finally saw that the beast crystal was the same red beast crystal he had given to Mo Gu Yun at the end of the county competition.

  "Remember, little one."

  "Heh heh, then tell me about the origin of this Beast Crystal." Mo Gu Yun said with a smile.

  "Yes, County Master. This beast crystal was obtained by me in the Qian Tian mountain range. At that time, a fiery red demon beast attempted to ambush Xiao Ren, but I saw through its plan and fought it for 300 rounds, finally killing it and obtaining this beast crystal."

  "Heh heh, Qin Huan, what level is that demon beast?" Mo Gu Yun's smile grew even more intense.

  "Uh, at that time it was already dark, and I didn't see clearly."

  "Haha, that's also true. If this demon beast really ambushed you, you wouldn't be able to see clearly." Mo Gu Yun picked up the beast crystal on the table and started tossing it in his hand.

  "Huh? I don't understand what you mean, Princess." Qin Lin's heart was racing with a sense of foreboding.

  "Hmm, what I mean is that this Beast Crystal comes from a Fire Spirit Crane. And the Fire Spirit Crane is a fifth-level Spiritual Intelligence beast, its stealth attack, can you see it clearly?"

  "Fifth-level Spiritual Intelligence demonic beast?"
