102 Hidden treasures (2/2)

Once Gu Jingman walked into the room, she looked at the sinister good-looking man with eyes burning with fury.

”Jingman, don't be angry. It's my loss if you are ugly due to anger.”

The sinister man curled his lips into a smile and lifted his hands to indicate that Gu Jingman should have a seat.

”Zhou Chongling, what are you doing here?”

Gu Jingman looked at the other young man, squinted her eyes slightly and asked, ”Tang Guang, you are associating with the people from Zhou Clan. Are you preparing to betray the Gu Clan without any concern for our treaty?”

”As from what you have seen, I reckon that working with the Zhou Clan is better than working with Gu Clan Fort.”

Tang Guang nodded his head calmly. Since he was prepared to have a showdown with Gu Jingman, naturally he didn't need to conceal anything.

”What a good Tang Clan. Bullying us to the extreme.”

Gu Jingman stood up instantly and glanced at Tang Guang coldly. Because of the alliance of Gu Clan Fort and Tang Clan, she had even sacrificed her own marriage, but in return all they had was Tang Clan scheming against them.

”That's all because of you. ou refuse to submit to me. If you were obedient enough to marry me immediately and assist me in getting Gu Clan Fort, I wouldn't have had to resort to other plans.”

Tang Guang laughed sardonically, ”I can't wait anymore. Don't think that I am oblivious of the present situation in Gu Clan Fort. If I were to act later, I would have benefited others for nothing.”

”What a rapacious ambition. So, Tang Clan had always been eyeing our Gu Clan Fort.”

Gu Jingman had a ghastly look on her face. It was ridiculous that Gu Clan Fort had always treated Tang Clan as an ally, but were actually letting the fox guard the henhouse.

”You think I don't know what you are hiding. You are just trying to use Tang Clan as a shield, but do you think Tang Clan is so easily used? Now that the news is being spread, you think Gu Clan Fort will still continue to exist? If Tang Clan doesn't act now, the thing is going to be in someone else's hand.”

Tang Guang said after laughing sardonically.

”Bastard, if Gu Clan Fort had that thing, would we just be waiting for you to rob us? Completely absurd.”

Gu Jingman had calmed down, because she finally knew Tang Guang's target. Tang Clan must have had another ulterior motive when they had an alliance with Gu Clan Fort in the past.

That thing again? Gu Jingman laughed bitterly. If that thing was really useful, Gu Clan Fort would have become powerful long ago, not bullied by these forces.

”Gu Jingman, if you can hand over the treasure map of Ming Cult, I will still take you as my wife and ensure that you enjoy a life of wealth and splendour. As for Gu Clan Fort, after the news had been spread, can Gu Clan Fort even still continue to exist?”

Tang Guang took a sip of the red wine unhurriedly and glanced at Gu Jingman composedly. And seemingly concluded that Gu Jingman was unable to escape today.

Ming Cult Treasure map?

Mo Wen's eyes flickered and looked at Gu Jingman in surprise.

What did Tang Guang mean? That the Ming Cult still had hidden treasures somewhere else? Or the Ming Cult's treasure they were looking for was the Ming Cult historical abode in the Taihang Mountains.

Mo Wen had the serendipity of dropping into that place, which allowed him to gain the heritage of the Ming Cult; could there be a treasure map of that historical abode that was being circulated?

If there was a treasure map, why would it appear in Gu Clan Fort?

A flicker of radiance flashed in Mo Wen's eyes; he gazed at Gu Jingman and Tang Guang, seemingly absorbed in his own thoughts.

He had long ago discovered that Gu Jingman's body had a faint sense of Inner Qi; he should have been an ancient martial art practitioner. But Tang Guang was definitely an ancient martial art practitioner together with Tang Gang, and Tang Qiang was also an ancient martial art practitioner.

That was the reason why Gu Jingman was apprehensive of the two people and was forced to enter this room.

Hence, it should be a fight among the ancient martial art practitioners and at the end involved the influences of some ancient martial art practitioners.

The thing that he was curious about was the relationship between the Ming Cult and those influences. Why was Ming Cult's treasure map involved? Three hundred years ago, Ming Cult had been disunited and disappeared in the stream of history. Till now, the number of people who could remember the people of Ming Cult and its influence should be very few.
