Chapter 285: Chapter 257: Position of Gang Leader (3)

However, for Mo Jingzhou, who was a hoodlum on the streets at that time, it was a heavenly grace.

With the support of the Bai Family, Mo Jingzhou gradually established his own business.

However, after he allied himself with the Liu Family,

he directly married the Liu Family’s young lady, abandoning his first wife,

Later, he also allied with several large noble families like the Tian Family, laying the initial framework for Beidou Bang, but he never thought of giving his first wife, Bai, any status, even though later Bai gave birth to Mo Beiyan, he only recognized Mo Beiyan’s identity.

The Bai Family was exterminated due to the pettiness of Liu’s family,

Mo Jingzhou, knowing the truth, not only didn’t pursue it for the stability of his foundation but helped cover up the truth, classifying the Bai Family’s extermination as a plague.

Later,

Gu Zhan joined Beidou Bang and became part of the senior management, also hearing about some matters,

Many of those who initially followed Mo Jingzhou into the Martial World lived a miserable life in their old age, some suffered from their battle wounds and died in pain, yet received no protection from Beidou Bang,

There were many similar incidents.

Through these events, it can be seen that Mo Jingzhou is a very heartless and selfish person.

However, he also has some completely opposite stories about him.

Mo Jingzhou was severely injured by a demon sect expert for his brother, Xiao Chen, and barged into the demon sect alone, being trapped for seven days and nights, nearly perishing there.

Though he is said to be heartless and ungrateful, there were many instances where people in the Martial World received his kindness and he risked his life to stand up for others.

Over thirty years ago,

Yang Yuzhi came to Canglan Dao and became good friends with Mo Jingzhou,

But eventually, Yang Yuzhi took advantage of this friendship to harm Mo Jingzhou, and the thirty-year strategy he set for the Yunxi Martial World was based on Mo Jingzhou, thus successfully deceiving the Yunxi Martial World.

Initially, no one saw through the Cyan Gorge Covenant, everyone thought Yang Yuzhi was acting out of great righteousness to keep the Yunxi Martial World from turmoil,

Those years, Yang Yuzhi was the talk of Yunxi Land, countless forces regarded him as an honored guest, and he could be said to have friends everywhere, with everyone respecting his noble righteousness.

But later, as time passed,

The people of the Yunxi Martial World gradually realized that the Cyan Gorge Covenant was fundamentally destroying Yunxi Land, Yang Yuzhi’s reputation plummeted, he was vehemently criticized by countless people, and many openly offered bounties for Yang Yuzhi’s head, almost everyone who had befriended Yang Yuzhi publicly declared their disassociation.

In Yunxi Land, Yang Yuzhi became a rat running across the street that everyone shouted to kill.

In such a situation,

Even though some loyal people did not publicly vilify Yang Yuzhi, they all chose to remain silent.

However, there was one exception,

That was Mo Jingzhou, he openly declared that differing ideologies did not affect his friendship with Yang Yuzhi, he still considered Yang Yuzhi a friend.

For a time, Mo Jingzhou bore countless criticisms because of this, but he never changed his stance, even later, when Yang Yuzhi left the Astronomical Bureau and lost protection, being hunted by Martial World people, he personally left Yunxi and went to Yundong,

With his identity, going to Yundong,

really involved taking enormous risks, and any slight carelessness would result in being secretly circled and killed by the Astronomical Bureau and the Yundong Government Office.

Yet he still escorted Yang Yuzhi for three thousand miles despite sustaining severe injuries,

On that three-thousand-mile journey,

he never even met Yang Yuzhi,

only covertly escorting him,

Finally escaping back to Yunxi gravely injured.

Later,

after many years had passed,

he still honored his promise to Yang Yuzhi, the enemy of Yunxi,

When Gu Zhan came to Canglan Dao with the token,

he kept his word and provided Gu Zhan with a place to stay.

...

This person is very contradictory,

When you say he is compassionate, he’s done too many heartless, ungrateful, and even forgetful deeds along the way, but when you say he is devoid of feelings, he’s also done quite a few impressive deeds that made the Martial World people admire him.

Gu Zhan once thought,

Perhaps anyone in a high position is like this, full of contradictions,

Just like Yang Yuzhi,

For his purposes and plans, he abandoned his wife, children, and family,

But no one could say he was selfish,

Saying he is heartless, yet he was wholeheartedly for the greater good in his mind.

However, every time he thought of Yang Yuzhi,

Gu Zhan found it absurd,

Since coming to Yunxi, he realized even more how high Yang Yuzhi’s standing was,

A person like that, how could he possibly go to a small Linjiang City to lure a few second-rate small noble families into the game at such a high cost,

Before in Linjiang City,

Yang Yuzhi once told Gu Zhan about the death plan,

Back then, Gu Zhan was not at that level, he found it quite reasonable, but now, standing at his current level, he increasingly finds so many loopholes that he simply doesn’t believe that was all of Yang Yuzhi’s plan.

However,

now is not the time to consider those matters,

Gu Zhan looked at Mo Jingzhou without speaking,

Facing Mo Jingzhou, he felt not only that the other party was very contradictory but also slightly bizarre.

If he adds it up, he could be considered Mo Jingzhou’s life-and-death enemy, 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Three of his sons indirectly or directly died at his hands, plus a Liu Family member,

To Mo Jingzhou, Gu Zhan is the murderer of his wife and children.

In the pavilion,

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive,

The tea boiled furiously, the lid of the teapot bouncing.

Mo Jingzhou poured a cup of tea for Gu Zhan, calmly saying, "To be honest, I actually didn’t plan to meet you; you should know the reason."

Gu Zhan remained silent.

Mo Jingzhou chuckled lightly and said, "Sigh, getting old, you lose that youthful vigor, that passion and sincerity are gone, and in everything you do, prioritizing benefit becomes the norm."
