Gong Qi didn't care about any of this, and suddenly threw the cedar box in his hand to Zhang Yun.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to kill you. This is a gift from me, Gong Qi, to you as you become an apprentice. Open it and take a look; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Zhang Yun naturally caught the cedar box that Gong Qi threw to him without dodging, because he did not sense any killing intent from Gong Qi.
Looking at the cedar box in his hand, Zhang Yun couldn't help but wonder what was inside.
Could it be a very powerful killing machine?
When such a thought arises in his mind, he quickly discards it.
Given Gong Qi's personality, temperament, and formidable strength, if he wanted to kill me now, he could have just taken direct action. Why bother with all this fancy stuff?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yun decided to open it and take a look.
He also wanted to know whether what Gong Qi gave him was a pleasant surprise or a shock.
As it turned out, the gift Gong Qi gave him was indeed good news for Zhang Yun, but it was also accompanied by a bit of a shock.
"You...you actually killed him?" Zhang Yun was shocked. He suddenly looked up at Gong Qi, his eyes narrowing slightly.
It's truly baffling what Gong Qi is thinking. His personality and way of doing things are simply bizarre to the extreme, which is indeed beyond Zhang Yun's expectations.
"So, are you satisfied?"
Gong Qi put his hands behind his back and smiled mysteriously.
"It does save me some trouble by not having to do it myself."
As he spoke, Zhang Yun slowly closed the cedar box, his mood slightly complicated.
"I'm sure you've seen my sincerity."
Having received a warning from the Sword Immortal, Gong Qi naturally wouldn't cause trouble in Sword Immortal City.
His purpose in coming here was quite simple.
He persuaded Zhang Yun to become his disciple.
Zhang Yun did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Holy Gate will hold you accountable for doing this?"

Chapter 224 Sect Plan
"Heh, if I don't say anything, who will know that I killed Zhang Yu?"
Gong Qi's smile was sinister and enigmatic: "Zhang Yu is my beloved disciple."
Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, marveling at the cruelty and ruthlessness of Gong Qi's methods.
The cedar box contained Zhang Yu, the enemy Zhang Yun had been longing to kill!
Zhang Yu's head!
The eyes had been gouged out, and the head was covered in blood!
Even Zhang Yun felt a chill run down his spine upon witnessing the bloody scene.
Zhang Yu definitely needs to be killed.
But if it were Zhang Yun, he would never be so cruel.
It's not that he's afraid to do it, but that there's no need for him to.
Zhang Yu probably never imagined that he would eventually die at the hands of his own master.
Gong Qi was quite cunning; in order to win him over, he didn't hesitate to kill his disciple, with whom he spent every day.
This also made Zhang Yun feel a little strange.
Is he really that important to Gong Qi?
Or does Gong Qi have another purpose?
"I've protected you so much, it seems a bit unreasonable for you not to become my apprentice, doesn't it?"
Seeing Zhang Yun fall silent, Gong Qi spoke again.
"What if I don't agree?" Zhang Yun slowly raised his eyes to look at Gong Qi and said calmly.
"You won't agree?" Gong Qi said calmly, "It's okay if you don't agree. I can wait until you've made up your mind. But until then, I won't know whether you killed Zhang Yu or not."
Zhang Yun sneered, "I have a deep-seated hatred for Zhang Yu and his two sons. I must kill any one of them."
"Do you think I'll care if you pin the so-called crime of killing Zhang Yu on me?"
Zhang Yun was telling the truth. In other people's eyes, whether Zhang Yu died at his hands or not would not change the outcome.
If Zhang Yu wasn't killed by him, wouldn't Zhang Hao see him as a thorn in his side?
Isn't that a joke?
“That’s true.” Gong Qi chuckled. “However, my biggest weakness is my patience. I will wait until you are willing to be my apprentice.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Qi's figure mysteriously disappeared from the room.
Gong Qi genuinely wants Zhang Yun to willingly become his disciple, so he hasn't resorted to forceful methods yet.
