[Task difficulty level 3, task reward 30,000 points.]
[Limited to two members.]
The chat group stepped in at the opportune moment and released the latest task.
Gu Qingfeng's eyelids twitched. Right, he had been blinded by anger and had forgotten that he still had a chat group.
Tony isn't a womanizer:
Wow, it's rare to see a big shot like you need help!
Destroyer of the world:
"The difficulty isn't too high, and probing memories isn't too dangerous either. Is anyone in the group skilled at this?"
Seeking powerful connections:
"I don't know how. I don't know anything. I'm still thinking about which Devil Fruit to get to enhance my strength."
Fire Fist Ace:
"Sorry, boss, I'm only good at fighting, and I don't have any soul-related skills."
The most ferocious elf
"If I know the exact time, I can try to go back in time; if I don't, there's nothing I can do."
Death God Elementary School Student:
"If you're not afraid of damaging this person's nerves, you could try using technology to extract their memories."
Gu Qingfeng could also forcibly read Wang Fei's memories, and destroying Wang Fei's brain nerves with his qi would not be difficult for him, but he just didn't want to do it.
The strongest in the dimension:
"Her situation is very special. I don't know the exact time, and I don't want to hurt her, so let's forget about the technology that forcibly extracts her memories."
Gu Qingfeng's answer caused a brief silence in the group. Everyone was smart enough not to be fooled. If a woman had a dispute with her and the big boss didn't want to hurt her, no one would believe that there was nothing going on between them.
Do you also want to dance?
"I'm not particularly proficient in genjutsu. My Sharingan abilities are more suited to taijutsu, but if the opponent's strength is not high and it's just about probing their inner secrets, I can give it a try."
Madara wasn't very confident either. Given his personality, if someone offended him, he would naturally resolve the issue with his strength and rarely use genjutsu or control-type ninjutsu.
In addition, Gu Qingfeng's combat power is too high. Last time he went to the Dragon Ball universe, Goku, Vegeta, Trunks and others also gave him a deadly sense of threat.
This is why Madara didn't speak up at first, but since everyone else had no choice, he had to bite the bullet and try.
"Okay, then Ban can come over. She's just an ordinary person, and with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem. No one else needs to come."
Being cuckolded is not a glorious thing, and of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
This is truly rare. Gu Qingfeng has always left a very good impression on them; he doesn't put on airs and takes good care of everyone in the group.
If it weren't for his interventions, the people in the group would still be living off the 100 points they earn from daily check-ins. This time, he's unusually preventing others from participating.
[Do you also want to dance? Then accept the mission.]
The most ferocious elf accepts the quest.
Tony isn't a womanizer:
"666, you're either courting death or on your way to it. I, Tony, would call you the strongest."
Seeking powerful connections:
"If you go against the big boss like this, you'll probably really die, but I bet Kurumi will be fine."
Fire Fist Ace:
"Exactly, exactly, can you compare to Kurumi, who's delicate, soft, and easy to push over?"
In fact, after telling Ban to accept the mission and telling everyone not to come, he left the chat group. The current situation was really bothering him.
"Why did you choose me in the first place? Did you really just like me, or did you have some other motive?"
When Gu Qingfeng asked that question, he couldn't help but laugh. His family was only moderately well-off, and he was indeed very handsome, but which of the women who pursued Faye Wong was less attractive?
Wang Fei raised her head, met Gu Qingfeng's gaze, and said earnestly, word by word.
"I didn't have any ulterior motives. It's just that you said you liked me, and I've been interested in you for a long time, so I just went along with it and agreed."
Actually, it wasn't just these things. When he came back and saw Faye Wong again, there were many things that puzzled him, not just that Faye Wong had betrayed him.
What surprised him even more was that his body belonged to Gogeta. Aside from a brief moment of surprise when they first met, Faye Wong quickly accepted it.
And they are absolutely certain that the body inside is themselves. How could a normal person calmly accept seeing a character from an anime?
He had killed so many people in front of her, yet she showed no fear whatsoever; she even beat her current boyfriend severely, but she didn't care at all.
She wasn't like this before. What has she been hiding? Was their years together really because of love, or did she have other plans all along?
"Boss, I've arrived."
A flash of white light appeared beside the two, and Uchiha Madara, dressed in Sengoku armor, appeared before the three.
Ban's face remained arrogant as always, only showing a hint of respect when speaking to Gu Qingfeng.
"What the hell, Uchiha Madara? Who are you anyway?"
Li Jun hadn't watched Dragon Ball, but he had watched Naruto, the famous leader of the Uchiha Four Laughing Warriors, who single-handedly fought 100,000 ninjas and swept aside Madara, a Kage-level figure.
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows that this is the pinnacle of the Naruto world. How did Gu Qingfeng manage to create it?
"That's her! Remember, don't hurt her!"
He glanced at Faye Wong, and his dark pupils gradually transformed into three tomoe, with long, blood-red lines spinning within them.
"Yes, no problem!"
Madara, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, glanced at Faye Wong, who then fainted in Gu Qingfeng's arms.
"You can ask any questions now, boss."
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment, then finally voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind, not wanting to trouble others further.
"Please ask her for me why she chose me in the first place, and whether she ever truly loved me."
On the second-floor staircase of the villa area, Kurumi swung her legs and looked at Faye Wong, while Zafki quietly appeared behind her.
Faye Wong's nerves were controlled by Ban's illusion, and she stood up without any control over her body, her eyes vacant.
Ban closed his eyes and entered Faye Wong's spiritual world.
Why did you choose to be with Gu Qingfeng in the first place?
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, Ban opened his eyes and looked at Gu Qingfeng with a strange expression, unsure whether to tell the truth.
"It's okay, go ahead and tell me, I can guess the general result."
Ban took a deep breath. After questioning Faye Wong, even Ban felt that this woman was terrifying.
"She said that she once saved a person with superpowers. That person's ability was to foresee the future, but the drawback was that it would deplete their life force."
"She asked that superhuman to help her choose her true love, and that superhuman uttered your name. Faye Wong was unwilling to just be a young lady from a second-rate family."
So she hid it from everyone and found you. But fate can change with unexpected events. After years of being with you, you didn't give her hope. Not long ago, she found that superhuman again. The superhuman told her that on that day, her life would reach a turning point, and she would become someone second only to the emperor.
There really are people with superpowers. Could it be that he deduced that he would time travel?
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng understood everything. He guessed that when he went to the capital to make a living, it happened to be the same day that Wang Fei met Li Jun, and the superhuman gave her a new hint.
Wang Fei mistakenly believed that Li Jun was the one who made the prophecy, so she chose to give up on herself and accepted Li Jun's pursuit.
Did she know beforehand that Li Jun had assaulted my parents?
"I don't know. If she knew, she would have stopped it. Your parents wouldn't have affected her relationship with Li Jun. As for Li Jun sending someone to kill you, she only found out about it recently."
Ban couldn't help but admire Faye Wong's cunning; she was willing to break with her family and be with Gu Qingfeng just for a prophecy.
Unfortunately, in the end, she chose the wrong person. If she had just waited a little longer for Gu Qingfeng to return, he would have plucked down any star from the heavens and given it to her.
Ban also broke the illusion, and Faye Wong regained her senses. She realized what she had just said, and her face turned pale.
"You can go. You can find someone better. There's no future for us."
After a ten-minute silence, Gu Qingfeng spoke. After learning the whole truth, he realized that he didn't like her as much anymore.
Faye Wong didn't want to give up this opportunity she had waited for for many years. Although her physical appearance had changed, she was still Gu Qingfeng.
She wanted to have the highest status, and only Gu Qingfeng could help her.
For her, nothing was more important than power and status; otherwise, she wouldn't have given up her life as a rich young lady because of a prophecy, just to try and raise her status to a higher level.
