Chapter 813: Want to go together?

Bi Linglong trembled with rage: "How dare you! You actually harbor such thoughts about me."

Gu Xing rolled his eyes: "Linglong, you'll no longer be the Crown Princess soon, so why bother putting on airs with us? Honestly, isn't being with us better than being with that pig-headed Zhao Ruizhi? That guy's completely brainless; I doubt he's ever made you experience a woman's pleasure."

Bi Linglong's face darkened: "It seems you're truly confident of victory, to speak such obscenities to me just now!"

Gu Heng glared at his brother: "Second Brother, Linglong is our sister whom we grew up with. Be more polite to her."

Gu Xing sneered: "Big Brother, what's the use of pretending to be a gentleman here? From my observations lately, Linglong clearly has a special liking for that Zu An. That guy's a scoundrel from the streets, not even remotely close to a gentleman."

"It seems Linglong prefers the rogue type. Come to think of it, my personality is closer to Zu An's. Big Brother, you don't stand a chance."

Gu Heng instantly became anxious: "Nonsense! Linglong has always favored upright, modest gentlemen. We grew up together; don't I know her mind? How could she possibly like a scoundrel like that?"

Bi Linglong snorted: "Gu Xing, you compare yourself to Zu An? Are you even worthy?"

In truth, she was also somewhat bewildered. It was true, as Gu Heng said, that she preferred dignified and steady young masters from noble families. She used to detest street ruffians like Zu An, yet for some reason, she had come to see him differently.

Hearing her rebuke, Gu Xing's expression turned cold: "What is Zu An? His cultivation is inferior to mine, his family background is inferior to mine, and even his looks are inferior to mine. He should be asking what gives *him* the right to compare himself to *me*."

Bi Linglong chuckled: "I never realized it before, but you're so ordinary, yet so inexplicably confident."

Gu Xing flew into a rage, but Gu Heng quickly restrained him, then looked at Bi Linglong: "No matter how good Zu An is, you personally drove him away. Talking about that is pointless now. You should choose one of us brothers as soon as possible."

Gu Heng was now even more confident; his brother had just lost a lot of favor with Bi Linglong, so his own advantage was growing.

"Alright, I choose Gu Xing," Bi Linglong said.

"What?" Her voice was soft, but to him, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Xing, however, was ecstatic: "Haha, Linglong, I knew you loved me!"

As he spoke, he moved to embrace her, but Gu Heng blocked him.

Gu Xing frowned: "Big Brother, you should honor the bet. What do you mean by this?"

Gu Heng said: "Don't you think she chose too readily? From your interactions recently, and the way she just spoke to you, do you really think she genuinely likes you?"

"What does it matter if she likes me or not? All I need is her body," Gu Xing said with an indifferent expression.

Bi Linglong: "..."

Gu Heng: "???"

Gu Xing gave a wicked smile and continued: "Besides, if we do that kind of thing a few times, she might just fall in love with me. Women never forget their first man. And according to palace gossip, Linglong should still be a virgin, right?"

Bi Linglong turned her face away, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking shy. She clearly didn't want to answer such a private question.

Gu Heng was now consumed by jealousy. Before, it was fine when they both harbored a secret crush; since neither could have her, they could at least console each other. But now, seeing his brother about to take the beauty, while he gained nothing, was infuriating.

The crucial point was that one moment he was confident, and the next, she chose his younger brother. The plummet from the clouds to the dust made him feel like he was about to vomit blood.

"Big Brother, move aside!" Gu Xing was getting impatient.

Gu Heng remained motionless: "I finally understand. Linglong deliberately chose you to cause discord between us, even to make us fight each other, so she could find a glimmer of hope for escape."

Bi Linglong said calmly: "You told me to choose. Now that I've chosen you, you say this. So, does that mean I had to choose you for it not to be 'provocation'?"

She was indeed deliberately using the opportunity to sow discord between the brothers. If it were anyone else, they would most likely have chosen Gu Heng, thinking Gu Xing was more impulsive and thus easier to manipulate into conflict.

But Bi Linglong knew very well that if she chose Gu Heng, the simple-minded Gu Xing wouldn't be able to outwit him, definitely couldn't argue his way out, and his cultivation was also slightly weaker, making him completely at his brother's mercy.

However, by choosing Gu Xing, Gu Heng, who was full of schemes, would always find various grand excuses to stop his brother. And after years of pretending to be a gentleman and suppressing his true nature, once he exploded, he would be even more uncontrollable.

The facts proved her choice was correct; the two brothers' eye contact was practically sparking fire at this point.

Gu Xing also chimed in: "Exactly, exactly! Does it have to be you? Come on, move aside, Big Brother. Be a dear and stand guard for us outside!"

When Gu Heng heard that he was to stand guard at the door and listen to another man with the woman he desired, he finally exploded: "Idiot! Can't you see through such a simple trick to sow discord?!"

"I don't care if she's sowing discord or not! She chose me, so move aside, quickly!" Gu Xing was impatient now and drew his saber.

This seemed to light the fuse. Gu Heng roared, drew his own weapon, and charged forward. The two instantly exchanged a dozen blows. Although Gu Heng's cultivation was slightly superior to his brother's, it would take two or three hundred more moves to determine a victor.

Bi Linglong's heart also tensed. She wasn't worried about their safety, of course, but was looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Suddenly, after exchanging a palm strike, they separated. Gu Heng immediately said: "Stop! Fighting like this won't solve anything. We'll both end up injured, and Linglong is also a Sixth Grade cultivator. If only one of us is left, we won't be able to control her."

Gu Xing wasn't a fool either, especially since he knew he might not be his brother's match in a real fight: "So what do you suggest?"

Gu Heng glanced at Bi Linglong and quickly came up with an idea: "We are brothers born of the same mother; many things have been shared between us since childhood. So, women can naturally be no exception."

Gu Xing's expression fluctuated between dark and light. After a long moment, he nodded: "Alright!"

Bi Linglong: "???"

She had never imagined that there could be such shameless scoundrels in the world, and two of them at that!

Then Gu Heng stepped forward and said: "In that case, I'm the elder brother, so I'll go first."

"No way! She just chose me, so she should belong to me. Letting you have a share is already my biggest concession. I must be the first!" Gu Xing refused to give an inch.

Gu Heng fell silent. Seeing that they were about to argue again, he suggested: "How about... together?"

Gu Xing's heart stirred: "Good!"

"Shameless!" Bi Linglong could no longer tolerate it. She immediately drew her personal sword and lunged, aiming for their vital points.

However, they easily blocked her. Gu Heng no longer concealed the desire in his eyes and laughed heartily: "Linglong, you've only just broken through to Sixth Grade. We've been at Sixth Grade for many years. How could you be our opponent? Just obediently submit to us, and we'll be very gentle with you."

A flicker of disgust flashed in Bi Linglong's eyes: "Disgusting!"

She said nothing more but focused on fighting. Unfortunately, her cultivation was inherently inferior to theirs, and now she was facing two against one. Soon, her sword was knocked from her hand.

Gu Xing eagerly lunged forward, trying to embrace her so she could no longer resist.

Just then, a streak of sword light shot in from outside the tent. Gu Heng quickly pulled his brother back. Even so, a piece of his clothing was cut off.

With grave expressions, both turned their heads to see a figure slowly walking in.

"How could it be you?"

Recognizing the person, the Gu brothers exclaimed in surprise.
