Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

And because of Li Cenyuan, the Li family has firmly sat at the top of the four major families, far beyond the reach of others.

Shen Lanyi nodded in approval, "You can see that he has very good qualifications, probably not lower than mine."

Gu Tu was still confused. The two most famous geniuses of the younger generation in Xuanzhou actually praised him?

"Indeed, if he practices martial arts well, he should make rapid progress." Li Cenyuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Although he was only twelve years old, he spoke in a very mature tone.

Chen Lanyi also imitated Li Cenyuan and touched his chin, "I have a suggestion. I will tell my father and let him practice martial arts with us in the future. What do you think?"

Li Cenyuan didn't comment, but he glanced at Chen Lanyi and said, "Are you tired of practicing martial arts with me, so you want to find a new partner?"

Shen Lanyi was not at all shy about having her thoughts exposed, instead she said confidently: "Some things are better left to you. It's wrong for you to say them out loud."

Li Cenyuan smiled helplessly.

Among the four great families, the Li and Chen families have the best relationship and the most contacts. Their children often practice martial arts together. Li Cenyuan and Shen Lanyi are the best among them. Moreover, they are engaged to each other. Apart from their families, they spend the most time with each other.

"Are you willing to practice martial arts with me and Brother Cen Yuan?" Shen Lanyi did not forget to ask for the person's opinion. She would not force him. If he was unwilling, then forget it.

Gu Tu was flattered and didn't know what to do for a moment. Could he really practice martial arts with them? This was something he dared not even dream of.

Li Cenyuan noticed Gu Tu's nervousness, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, follow your heart, nod your head if you agree, and shake your head if you don't. Even if you refuse, Yiyi and I won't blame you."

Under Shen Lanyi's expectant gaze, Gu Tu nodded.

"Great!" Shen Lanyi jumped happily. She had a new partner. "Brother Cen Yuan, take him to the backyard first. I'll go find my father and tell him about this!"

From that day on, Gu Tu, Chen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan often practiced martial arts and played together. The three of them could often be seen at the Chen family or the Li family.

Gu Tu was inspired by them and his personality gradually became more lively. He was no longer as timid as before and dared not fight back even when bullied. However, no one dared to bully him anymore. Those who used to treat him as a punching bag would now avoid him when they saw him.

Among the three of them, Li Cenyuan is the oldest, followed by Gu Tu, who is ten years old, and Chen Lanyi is the youngest, nine years old. She is the favorite of the trio, and her two brothers will think of her first when they have something delicious or fun.

When the children of aristocratic families reach a certain age, they must go to Zhousheng College.

Zhousheng College was jointly founded by the four great families. At first, only the children of the four great families could enroll. But later, the conditions were relaxed. As long as there was a letter of recommendation from any of the four great families, anyone could enter Zhousheng College to study.

Li Cenyuan was supposed to go to Zhousheng College when he was fifteen, but in order to wait for Gu Tu and Chen Lanyi, he delayed until he was eighteen before going to Zhousheng College with them.

Although Gu Tu is not from a noble family, he has two good friends, so it is very easy for him to go to Zhousheng College. All he needs is a word from Shen Lanyi or Li Cenyuan, and the door of Zhousheng College will always be open to Gu Tu.

When they arrived at Zhousheng College, the three of them still stuck together all day long and had the same teacher, Min Enyan.

Min Enyan is a martial artist of level eight. He is not the strongest in the academy, but he is the teacher who understands students best and is the best at teaching them.

He will teach according to the specific circumstances of each student and tailor the most suitable training method for them.

Under his guidance, Gu Tu and the other two made rapid progress. In four years, Li Cenyuan reached the eighth level of martial arts, while Gu Tu and Chen Lanyi were both at the seventh level.

As an outstanding student who graduated from Zhousheng College, Gu Tu should have had a bright future. He grew up in the Shen family. If he wanted to repay the Shen family, it would be easy for him to stay in the Shen family as an elder from another family.

However, fate took a sharp turn on the day of his graduation.

His father, because of his son's achievements, was too proud of himself. He got drunk at night and molested the wife of the clan leader, Shen Lanyi's mother. He died in the Shen family that night.

As for Gu Tu, the Shen family did not implicate him for the sake of Shen Lanyi.

And he also understood that he would never be able to return to the Shen family, and the Shen family would never accept him.

When he went to collect the bodies, Gu Tu ran into Chen Lanyi. He felt he had no face to see her, so he turned around and tried to avoid her, but was stopped by Chen Lanyi.

Then he heard her say: "This is not your fault, and you don't have to feel guilty towards me. We are still good friends, and this will never change."

Later, at the suggestion of Li Cenyuan, Gu Tu joined the Desperate Mercenaries.

Gu Tu is capable and not afraid of hardship, and he quickly rises in the mercenary group.

Over the years, he became the most outstanding S-class mercenary in Desperate Situation through his own efforts.

As long as the mission he handles, no one fails.

Once, Gu Tu received a murder mission, and the target was Min Xiujie.

Min Xiujie has a special identity, he is the grandson of Min Enyan.

Min Xiujie didn't know who he had offended, but someone offered a high price to take his life.

Gu Tu didn't know at first that Min Xiujie was Min Enyan's grandson, so he accepted the task.

When he successfully captured Min Xiujie and was about to attack, Min Enyan suddenly appeared and blocked the palm for his grandson without hesitation.

Gu Tu's palm strike was extremely powerful, and Min Enyan did not even think of resisting. He was seriously injured and died on the spot, while Min Xiujie took the opportunity to escape.

Gu Tu stared blankly at Min Enyan's body, unable to recover from the tragic scene before him for a while.

He actually...killed...the teacher...

After a long time, Gu Tu gently picked up Min Enyan, found a piece of land, and buried the body.

Afterwards, Gu Tu did not return to the desperate situation, and he could not return to the desperate situation.

He let the target go and caused the death of Zhousheng College's head teacher Min Enyan. Jue Jing will not let him off easily, and Min Enyan's students will not let him go either.

The moment they learned that their mentor was killed by Gu Tushen, all the students Min Enyan taught, both past and present, vowed to avenge their mentor.

Gu Tu knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake, but he didn't want to die, so he went to find Shen Lanyi.

The result was not found.

It turned out that during his mission, Shen Lanyi had committed some crime and was expelled from the Shen family, and was no longer in Xuanzhou.

Li Cenyuan was not in Xuanzhou either, and Gu Tu had no way of contacting either of them.

Min Enyan's students found him, and Gu Tu had no choice but to fight back in order to survive.

At first, Gu Tu simply fought back and did not hurt anyone. However, those people's attacks became more and more fierce, as if they believed that Gu Tu would not dare to hurt them.

Because Gu Tu was hesitant in his actions, he almost died in their hands several times.

He didn't want to die, so he no longer endured it. If they tried to kill him, he would kill them too. They were not as strong as him, and they died one after another at his hands.

As a result, Gu slaughtered more and more people, and his temperament became more and more violent. Eventually, he became a known cruel person in Xuanzhou and was hated by everyone.

He had been hiding in Xuanzhou for nearly ten years, but he never waited for Shen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan to come back.

Later, because he could no longer stay in Xuanzhou, he escaped from Xuanzhou.

The first place he went to after leaving Xuanzhou was Baicheng, because Chen Lanyi had mentioned this place to him before.

In Baicheng, he finally ran into Chen Lanyi, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

However, standing next to her was a man he didn't recognize.

The moment Shen Lan saw Gu Tu, she was pleasantly surprised. She ran to Gu Tu and excitedly called him, "Brother Tu!"

Gu Tu's eyes were instantly moist, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Have you...abandoned me?"

These words contain his years of longing, pain and helplessness, as if all the grievances came to his heart at this moment.

Shen Lanyi was full of doubts, and her eyes revealed confusion, "No..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Tu.

Gu Tu pointed his finger at Yi Yun who was a few steps away. His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. "Because of him? You won't go back to Xuanzhou?"

Shen Lanyi then noticed Gu Tu's abnormality, and her brows knitted tightly, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen in Xuanzhou?"

However, Gu Tu seemed to have lost his mind and didn't listen to anything she said.

He muttered to himself: "How can you be with such a person? Forget about Cen Yuan, but how can an ordinary person like him..."

Shen Lanyi's brows furrowed more and more tightly. She reached out and grabbed Gu Tu, trying to call back his sanity, "Gu Tu, calm down!"

"How can I stay calm! How do you want me to stay calm!" Gu Tu shouted excitedly. He raised his hand and pushed Shen Lanyi away with force.

"Do you know how I've been living these years? I killed the teacher, and they all wanted to kill me!"

Chen Lanyi was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yi Yun was shocked and ran over to help her up.

Shen Lanyi was stunned, her eyes were full of shock, "What did you say, you killed the teacher?"

"Yes! I killed him, so you also think I should pay with my life, right?" Gu Tu's voice was filled with despair and self-loathing.

Shen Lanyi's mind was in a mess. She could no longer think. How could it be possible? How could he kill the teacher...

Yi Yun's face was full of heartache. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew very well that his wife was in pain.

He hugged Shen Lanyi tightly and comforted her: "Fuer, don't be afraid, I'm here."

When Gu Tu heard the word "Fu'er", he was instantly stimulated. He glared at Yi Yun with eyes full of anger and murderous intent. He slowly raised his hand, gathered all his strength, and was about to attack Yi Yun.

He doesn't deserve to be with Lan Yi at all!

“No!” Shen Lanyi felt Gu Tu’s surging murderous intent and stood in front of Yi Yun without thinking.

The next second, Shen Lanyi spat out a large mouthful of blood, and her body fell down limply.

"Fur!"

Gu Tu was stunned. After realizing what he had done, he knelt down hurriedly and supported Shen Lanyi's body, his hands trembling, "Impossible, where is your cultivation? How could you become so weak?"

Shen Lanyi and Gu Tu were both at the seventh level of martial arts, and she could have easily taken Yi Yun to avoid Gu Tu's palm, but she didn't.

It's not that she didn't want to avoid it, but she couldn't avoid it. She had internal injuries and was no longer at the seventh level of martial arts.

"Why? Tell me why, Lanyi!" Looking at Shen Lanyi's increasingly pale face, Gu Tu cried out.

Chen Lanyi did not answer Gu Tu, but looked at his face and said: "Even if you don't... tell me, I know... you definitely didn't... intentionally... kill the teacher..."

Gu Tu's hands were shaking even more violently. He wiped the blood off Shen Lanyi's face in panic, "Don't talk anymore. I'll take you back to Xuanzhou now and find the Spiritual Medical Alliance. They will definitely be able to save you."

"It's useless." Chen Lanyi used up her last bit of strength to grab Gu Tu's hand, "If you ever meet Cen Yuan in the future, tell him that Li Chen and his family are..."

Having said this, Shen Lanyi lost her breath.

"Lan Yi!" Gu Tu collapsed and shouted.

Gu Tu couldn't accept the fact that Shen Lanyi was dead, the energy in his body was raging and he lost control.

If a martial arts level 7 cultivator loses control, it is like a powerful bomb exploding, and the result is -

With the person out of control as the center, no one will survive within a hundred miles.

Therefore, the people who died at that time were not only Shen Lanyi, but also Yi Yun and the innocent strangers who were within a hundred meters of Gu Tu.
