The Strongest Sentinel (14): Zhou Qinghao, don’t even think about getting out of bed until tomorrow!

Ten days ago, after the people from the ruling faction met with Gu Juntian, they had been waiting for news from him.

But after Gu Juntian went to Zhou Qinghao’s house that night, he never came out again.

They also found out that Gu Juntian took a long leave from school, citing the need to undergo sentinel combat training.

They thoroughly reviewed and analyzed the entire chat history between Liang Xia and Gu Juntian, and they investigated Gu Juntian’s life in great detail.

Gu Juntian, because of his father’s death in a dismembered state, was very averse to going to the surface to kill mutated beasts. He was just a coward and would never be able to participate in the related training.

He didn’t attend either; he stayed at Zhou Qinghao’s house the whole time!

Or rather, he was being locked up at home by Zhou Qinghao.

The scent on Zhou Qinghao was clearly from having been intimate with someone. Over the past ten days, he had spent an unprecedented amount of time at home, not only returning in the evening but also occasionally during the day.

He must be spending time with Gu Juntian!

As for how they geot along… Zhou Qinghao must have done something to Gu Juntian.

Some sentinels just enjoyed the thrill of conquering other sentinels. Of course, when they did this, they didn’t care about the life or death of the sentinel they were “conquering.” Some even deliberately disturb the other person’s spiritual sea just to see them suffer.

There were many young and handsome sentinels, and they didn’t know why Zhou Qinghao would take a liking to Gu Juntian, but after being tormented by Zhou Qinghao for so many days, Gu Juntian was mostly a wreck.

The people from the faction of the governor initially wanted Gu Juntian to help them gather information about Zhou Qinghao, but now that Gu Juntian had been locked up, they couldn’t get any information.

Before this, Gu Juntian actually hadn’t gotten any information.

“For Zhou Qinghao, Gu Juntian is just a toy. Would he really share his battle plans with a toy?”

“Gu Juntian is just a D-level sentinel. As soon as he gets close, Zhou Qinghao and the people around him can notice it, and he can’t find any information.”

“Gu Juntian might already be dead. With Zhou Qinghao’s mental power being so violent, how many times can a D-level sentinel withstand such abuse?”

“Maybe he slipped up in front of Zhou Qinghao, which is why he got imprisoned.”

“He’s already useless. Although he has been in contact with his classmates during this time, who can be sure that those messages were really sent by him?”

……

A group of people discussed and concluded that the goal of relying on Gu Juntian to gather information was no longer achievable.

They didn’t even dare to contact Gu Juntian, because Gu Juntian’s communication terminal might be in Zhou Qinghao’s hands.

Fortunately, the time and effort they spent on Gu Juntian were not in vain; they could use Gu Juntian to deal a heavy blow to Zhou Qinghao.

All along, in the eyes of the people at Base One, Zhou Qinghao had been a perfect existence.

He was strong, disciplined, cared for his soldiers, and even protected the entire base.

But what if this person was secretly harming those low-level sentinels?

Those civilians would have a great expression on their faces after discovering that their idol was a villain.

These people immediately took action.

Zhou Qinghao frowned slightly when he heard Tang Chen say “something happened” and asked, “What happened?”

Tang Chen said, “Teacher, the people we have placed in the media center sent a message saying they were instructed to publish a headline on the front page of every platform, claiming that you have imprisoned Gu Juntian and have been torturing him.”

The public opinion in Base One had been completely controlled by the elites for a long time.

The things that the common people saw were exactly what they wanted the common people to see.

Until Zhou Qinghao emerged.

Because Zhou Qinghao came from a commoner background, was very powerful, and was destined to die young, at first, the aristocrats heavily promoted Zhou Qinghao, portraying him as a hero of the common people, and even deliberately showcased their goodwill towards him.

They used Zhou Qinghao as a pawn to make the people in the outer city believe that their poor living conditions were not due to oppression, but because they lacked talent and ability.

Look, despite Zhou Qinghao’s poor background, he could still live a life beyond what ordinary people could imagine because of his strong talent.

However, once Zhou Qinghao became the commander-in-chief, he had his subordinates set up another channel for disseminating information.

Setting aside the Base One Media Center, they now had their own channel for disseminating news—the Base City Express.

Over the years, this channel had been heavily suppressed, but it was still loved by the public. Now, whatever message they wanted to send out, they could.

Of course, they couldn’t compete with the media center.

If the media center really spread this news, everyone in the underground city would know about Zhou Qinghao imprisoning Gu Juntian.

Tang Chen said, “Teacher, this news will be out soon, and you will definitely be questioned. Should we prepare in advance and have Gu Juntian cooperate with us to make a clarification?”

Although Tang Chen said this, he had no confidence in his heart.

He thought Gu Juntian wouldn’t be willing, and he was also worried that Gu Juntian’s current situation wasn’t good.

Since the media center dared to release such news, they must have evidence. They provided the chat records between Gu Juntian and Liang Xia, as well as a video of Gu Juntian.

In the chat log, Gu Juntian complained that Zhou Qinghao didn’t give him any freedom, saying that he would definitely make Zhou Qinghao pay for it in the future, and that he would do to Zhou Qinghao exactly what Zhou Qinghao did to him.

In that video, he even gritted his teeth and said that he would definitely retaliate.

Looking at this chat record and video, Gu Juntian really didn’t like his teacher.

Gu Juntian had probably been brainwashed by those powerful and influential people long ago.

Tang Chen felt heavy-hearted.

If the imprisonment of Gu Juntian was confirmed, then his teacher wouldn’t be able to clear his name.

Even if his teacher did a lot for the underground city, after being tainted by this stain, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was just a villain.

Tang Chen didn’t understand why his teacher would suddenly do such a ridiculous thing right before dying.

His teacher’s lifetime reputation might be ruined because of this incident.

Tang Chen thought a lot, but by this time, Zhou Qinghao had already read through the whole story.

After he smelled the scent of betrayal on Gu Juntian, he prepared himself for Gu Juntian to deal with him.

He considered many possibilities, such as Gu Juntian possibly poisoning him, but given that Gu Juntian was too weak and his senses were too sharp, he knew that these would not be effective.

At that time, he felt that Gu Juntian, or rather the powerful figures behind Gu Juntian, could only target him through public opinion

This had always been a tactic favored by the powerful.

He had already thought of this; when he imprisoned Gu Juntian, he already knew his own fate.

He would be disgraced.

But this was his personal behavior and wouldn’t affect his subordinates, so let him be disgraced.

He had already made up his mind to face death, so what did it matter if his reputation was ruined?

When a person dies, everything becomes empty.

Although he thought this way, seeing Gu Juntian in the video say that he would take revenge on himself, Zhou Qinghao still felt as if a piece of his heart had been brutally ripped away.

Gu Juntian hated him.

Forget it, let the hatred be. These days, being able to live with Gu Juntian like an ordinary couple was already enough to satisfy him.

Gu Juntian wasn’t too ruthless towards him either.

He didn’t take away Gu Juntian’s communication terminal, preparing for Gu Juntian to take a photo of his “evidence” and send it out, but Gu Juntian didn’t take the photo.

Of course, it could also be that Gu Juntian didn’t dare.

Zhou Qinghao looked at Tang Chen calmly and said, “No need to clarify, you don’t need to worry about this matter.”

“Teacher?” Tang Chen looked at Zhou Qinghao with confusion.

Zhou Qinghao said, “Nothing will go wrong, and it won’t affect our plans. Just rest assured.”

This was his personal behavior and would not affect his subordinates.

He knew that once the news got out, those powerful people would definitely bring others to search his house, and they might even do it live. This way, they could pin the crime on him.

Their tricks, he knew them all too well.

And for him to solve this matter, it was actually not difficult.

Dying to atone was enough.

He wouldn’t have lived for more than a few months anyway, so dying early didn’t matter.

However, if things had gotten this out of hand, Gu Juntian probably wouldn’t be able to go to the new base with his subordinates.

He also couldn’t get his subordinates to protect Gu Juntian.

How Gu Juntian’s future life would be depended on Gu Juntian himself.

No matter what, Gu Juntian was the one who brought him down. The nobles in the inner city shouldn’t let anything happen to Gu Juntian, right?

Zhou Qinghao said with absolute certainty that nothing would go wrong, and for some reason, Tang Chen’s heart calmed down.

Their teacher, did he already have a way to deal with it?

Indeed, their teacher had always been strategic and never fought battles without confidence.

Maybe Gu Juntian had already defected to his teacher!

Those powerful figures used Gu Juntian to attack his teacher, but his teacher could strike back!

Tang Chen instantly thought of many things, and his trust in Zhou Qinghao made him feel at ease.

“Our most important task right now is to relocate all our people to the new base. Just focus on this, and don’t worry about anything else,” Zhou Qinghao added.

“Yes, teacher!” Tang Chen said.

Xiang Tiange stood by, utterly confused, and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you talking about?”

Tang Chen said, “You don’t need to worry about it, just go wait in the quiet room.”

Their teacher was not affected by the spiritual sea; he could think clearly even without a guide. But Xiang Tiange was different.

His mind was simple and easily impulsive due to his mental confusion.

Zhou Qinghao also said, “Right, you go stay in the quiet room.”

Letting Xiang Tiange go to the quiet room was fine, to prevent him from going mad after his death. After finishing this task, Zhou Qinghao looked at Tang Chen again: “I’m going home for a bit.”

His own teacher should go back and discuss countermeasures with Gu Juntian. Tang Chen nodded and did not object.

Zhou Qinghao just walked home like that.

On the way, he wrote several farewell letters, scheduled to be sent a few hours later.

By that time, he should no longer be around. He hoped Tang Chen and the others could inherit his legacy and lead the new base to glory.

If he died now, it was a bit early, but most of the people they wanted to relocate had already been moved. The remaining people could still be relocated today if it was urgent.

Zhou Qinghao thought for a moment and added that they should not harm Gu Juntian, after all, it was he who first attacked Gu Juntian.

Soon, Zhou Qinghao returned to his residence.

He opened his front door and walked towards death.

Zhou Qinghao thought that Gu Juntian should know about the things those powerful people were doing.

At this moment, Gu Juntian might have already made himself quite miserable, inflicting some injuries on himself, and then started a live stream.

Only by doing this could those civilians believe that he did inhumane things to Gu Juntian.

No, Gu Juntian didn’t need to deliberately hurt himself; he was already in a terrible situation.

Every day, his mental power would go out of control, and as long as he didn’t endure the pain and cried out, people would naturally sympathize with him.

Moreover… he was too strong. During this time, he had been partying with Gu Juntian every night, and Gu Juntian had some traces left by him on his body. Those were also evidence.

Soon, Gu Juntian would be able to take revenge on him.

Zhou Qinghao walked into his house and then froze.

His house was filled with flowers, with roses arranged on the table, while Gu Juntian was busy in the kitchen.

“Qinghao, you came back just in time; the meat is almost done frying!” Gu Juntian, who had dressed up meticulously, held up the spatula with a beaming face.

When a sentinel and a guide underwent a mental bond, it was equivalent to getting married!

Today was the day he married Zhou Qinghao. How could he not be happy?

If it weren’t for his reluctance to make Zhou Qinghao endure one more day of suffering, he would have definitely given Zhou Qinghao an engagement ceremony first.

The proposal ceremony could be skipped now, but he and Zhou Qinghao could have a romantic lunch, engage in a mental bond, and then go to the bedroom to roll in the sheets.

After the mental fusion, it was said that the feeling will be completely different. He was eager to give it a try.

In short, Zhou Qinghao, don’t even think about getting out of bed until tomorrow!

In the previous days, in order to merge the spiritual sea, he exhausted himself every day, to the point where he couldn’t showcase his true abilities, failing to let Zhou Qinghao know how “impressive” he was. Today, he must redeem himself!

If strength wasn’t enough, then let’s make up for it with spirit!

Gu Juntian had been staying at Zhou Qinghao’s house these days and didn’t want to go out, so Zhou Qinghao taught him how to buy food and other things.

He just needed to place an order online, and the robot would deliver what he wanted.

A few days ago, Gu Juntian was lying still and not moving while merging his mental power, but today he endured the pain and ordered a bunch of things to simply decorate his home. Then, after his mental power was fully integrated, he took a shower and changed into a beautiful dress…

He would definitely be able to charm Zhou Qinghao to death!

Look, Zhou Qinghao had been staring at him without blinking!

Gu Juntian immediately felt a bit smug.

Zhou Qinghao, however, felt a bit dazed.

Was this the last meal before death?

Why did Gu Juntian do this? What was going on with the flowers and roses in the house?

Was it because he was afraid he had already received the news and wanted to calm his anger?

Gu Juntian brought the food to the table and asked Zhou Qinghao, “Qinghao, do you have any important work this afternoon?”

“I don’t have any work this afternoon.” Starting today, he wouldn’t have any work anymore.

Gu Juntian said, “That’s good. You can turn off the communication terminal now. Next, it’s just the two of us!”

He planned to be intimate with Zhou Qinghao for a day and night after their mental powers merged. If someone interrupted, it would be such a mood killer!

Zhou Qinghao obediently turned off the communication terminal.

Seeing him like this, Gu Juntian felt a surge of deep affection in his heart. He hugged Zhou Qinghao and kissed him, saying, “So obedient! Let’s eat quickly, we have important matters to attend to after we’re done!”

He was very hungry right now. Combining mental powers was something that consumed a lot of energy, so he must eat well before that.

Gu Juntian happily ate.

Zhou Qinghao glanced at Gu Juntian and began eating his last lunch.
