I hit you, and you should thank me.

After Gu Wanquan showed Su Yi the two "artificial lures" on his fishing rod, he flicked his wrist, and the fishing rod sank, sinking Yin Chaoge and Chen Feng into the lake again.

Despite their struggles, a series of bubbles rose from the lake again.

Su Yi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly asked, "Wan Quan, what heavenly law did Senior Brother Chen and the others break that warrants such punishment?"

Gu Wanquan said with a smile, "Senior Brother, what are you saying? I saw that Senior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Yin were so drunk that they didn't know what the world was like, so I wanted to sober them up. At the same time, they could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lan Lake, and I could also catch fish for you to nourish your body. It's killing three birds with one stone, how can it be considered a punishment!"

When Su Yi was unconscious, Gu Wanquan was the only one by her side, while Yin Chaoge and Chen Feng were already completely drunk from their drinking contest.

On one side, there was the senior brother who looked like he was in pain and on his deathbed, and on the other side, there were two good-for-nothings who were drunk and unconscious.

Gu Wanquan didn't chop the two of them into noodles on the spot. Gu Wanquan felt that he had been staying by his senior brother's side for too long and had been influenced by his senior brother to be a little soft-hearted.

Out of consideration for their shared sect affiliation, Gu Wanquan sealed their true essence and used them as bait to throw them into the lake to sober up. He felt he had already done a great service.

Seeing the two people being thrown back into the lake like drowning dogs, Su Yi gasped in shock. Gu Latiao was truly ruthless.

Being thrown into a lake to practice diving after just a little drinking is just too inhumane!

Huh? You mean the other party is a half-demon? Then it's alright.

"Hehehe, it's good to sober up. Drinking too much can lead to trouble. It's good to sober up!" Su Yi shrank her neck, laughed twice, and echoed Gu Wanquan.

You can throw them into the lake, but you can't throw me in too!

Su Yi had no idea what bad luck she had gotten into this version's chosen one while drinking, so she could only hope that the two of them would have a lucky break!

Gu Wanquan, after all, considered the bond between fellow disciples, and perhaps seeing that Su Yi had woken up, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on her.

After making Yin Chaoge and the other person swim underwater twice more, with a flick of the wrist, they were thrown onto the wooden boat.

"Despicable! You have no martial ethics, you actually attacked me while I was drunk!" Yin Chaoge, whose true energy was sealed and who was bound like a dumpling, glared at Gu Wanquan and angrily rebuked him.

"Glug glug, good wine, good wine!" Chen Feng, however, was spitting out lake water with a silly grin, thinking he was still drinking.

Gu Wanquan stepped forward, kicked Yin Chaoge to the ground, and, facing the other party's angry gaze, stepped on Yin Chaoge.

Looking down at Yin Chaoge with a smile, he said, "When you're out in the world and your fellow disciples are in trouble, you all get drunk like this. If Senior Brother Su were to lose his life because of your drinking, would you still be able to glare at me so confidently? Hmm? Junior Brother Yin?"

Upon hearing Gu Wanquan's words, Yin Chaoge was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Su Yi. His memory only went back to before drinking and after the first time Gu Wanquan threw him into the lake.

They had no idea what had happened.

When Su Yi saw Yin Chaoge looking at her, she immediately waved her hand and said, "It's all over now. See, I'm fine, aren't I? Wan Quan was just a little stressed!"

Hearing Su Yi's words, Yin Chaoge realized that Gu Wanquan was not lying; while she was drinking, her senior brother Su had indeed been in danger.

Damn it!

His senior brother was in trouble, but he drank himself into a stupor.

If he were in Gu Wanquan's shoes and saw the two of them like this, he probably would have already drawn his sword.

Yin Chaoge, who was originally furious that Gu Wanquan had sealed her true essence while she was drunk and thrown her into the lake to choke on water, immediately drooped her head.

At this moment, he even felt that Gu Wanquan had a good temper, and was just giving him a small punishment as a warning.

"Originally, it was just my senior brother and me for the Southwest Grand Competition. You insisted on coming along, and not only did you not help at all, but you also got so drunk. Junior brother, you really have a big heart!" Gu Wanquan added insult to injury.

Oh no, I knew this cunning worm could not only kick someone into the lake to swim, but also claim that he was doing it for their own good.

In the game "Immortal Path", Gu Wanquan is the moral benchmark of the game world. He always talks about benevolence and morality, and is very good at pointing fingers at others from a moral high ground.

How powerful is verbal sparring? Like how the stubborn Yin Chaoge is now being criticized and humiliated to the point of wanting to commit suicide to prove his innocence?

Seeing the mute demon lord, who was feeling guilty and wanted to draw his sword, Su Yi quickly stepped in as a peacemaker: "Wan Quan, say less. It's my own health problem, it has nothing to do with Chaoge."

"Senior brother, a kind heart will not lead to great achievements!" Gu Wanquan said to Su Yi with a smile and seriousness.

Although he responded to Su Yi with a smile, his words left no room for refusal.

He stood there dressed in white, as if he were the embodiment of reason, not allowing anyone to violate his principles.

Su Yi shrank back as if a sword were pointed at his nose, feeling the authority of the version's chosen one at that moment.

Yin Chaoge, who was being trampled on the deck, felt ashamed to face Su Yi and wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground, but his arrogant nature prevented him from apologizing.

With his neck stiff, he said, "Since that's the case, Senior Brother Gu, there's no need to hold back. I, Yin, am perfectly capable of taking my own life."

Hearing Yin Chaoge's words, Gu Wanquan, knowing he had won again, asked with a smile, "Your life is your own; no one has the right to take it away. I'm just asking you, junior brother, did I do anything wrong?"

Yin Chaoge looked down at Gu Wanquan and stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Su Yi quickly said, "But this should also serve as a warning to Chaoge. When you're out and about, don't drink so much. Wine and women can ruin your life. From today onwards, you must quit drinking!"

These words surprised both Gu Wanquan and Yin Chaoge. Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, something still felt off.

Seeing Yin Chaoge's indifferent attitude, Gu Wanquan moved his foot, released a burst of true energy, and broke the seal binding their true energy. He turned and walked towards the cabin, saying without looking back, "If Junior Brother still thinks I am wrong, you are welcome to draw your sword and ask me. I don't care."

They kick someone into the lake, then point their finger at them and yell at them, and finally magnanimously say they don't care.

I hit you, and you're still grateful to me.

As expected of you, Gu Latiao!

Looking at Yin Chaoge, who was sitting on the ground, feeling extremely ashamed, Su Yi finally understood what a blatant scheme was.

Chen Feng, who was still drunk, was standing to the side, while Yin Chaoge, who had completely sobered up, hung his head, looking like a defeated rooster.

Su Yi stepped forward and patted Yin Chaoge on the shoulder, saying, "Chaoge, don't take it too seriously. You and Wan Quan are not the same kind of people."

"Did you encounter any danger just now, Senior Brother?" Yin Chaoge asked in a muffled voice.

Su Yi was speechless for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "It's just a physical problem; I get this pain every ten days. Wan Quan is making a mountain out of a molehill!"

Hearing Su Yi's words, Yin Chaoge naturally didn't believe it. For Gu Wanquan to get so angry that he would kick her into the lake, it couldn't possibly be as simple as Su Yi herself said.

Senior Brother Su was still so understanding. Even though he was in such danger, he still made it sound so easy to save face.

Yin Chaoge raised her head, looked at Su Yi earnestly, and said, "Senior brother, I will definitely make up for my mistake!"

No, guys, I'm really fine. He's making a mountain out of a molehill. You have to believe me!

Just as Su Yi was about to say something, the once calm lake surface suddenly surged with waves.

The lake water surged and churned upwards like a spring, merging and mixing together.

Before long, a half-length statue of an old man, several meters tall and composed entirely of lake water, appeared in the center of the lake, and a divine voice resounded throughout the entire lake:

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my forbidden territory!"
