116 Little Brother, You Have a Royal Sister Complex 1 (1/2)

Gu Xicheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, ”Little friend Mo has really thought it through. Seems like I was the one who was too anxious.”

How could he not know that the walls had ears? With the Gu Clan Fort's current situation, if they knew that Gu Xicheng not only recovered his cultivation, but was stronger than before, it most likely would cause a commotion.

If this spread to the ears of the Zhou and Tang clan, there would probably be other unforeseen changes. Only a hidden power could be called a trump card.

”Since it's like that, I will leave first. I will visit Elder Gu again tonight.”

Mo Wen bid farewell by cupping one hand in the other before his chest, then turned to exit through the door decisively. Gu Xicheng looked at Mo Wen's silhouette. His eyes showed that he was deep in thought. For a guest to show up with a coincidental piece of good news, was this the Gu Clan Fort's good fortune? The heavens had not given up on them after all.

Outside the pavilion, Gu Jingman was leaning against a stone pillar, with her arms crossed. Her eyes were downcast, and her expression was sad.

”What's the matter? You're frightened? Better pack your things and get ready to run.” Mo Wen crossed his arms, as he playfully laughed.

”Do I look like someone who would run in a time of crisis? The word frightened is not in my dictionary.” Gu Jingman gave Mo Wen a look, and with a soft humph said, ”Anyways, no matter what grandfather says, I am not leaving. The Gu Clan Fort is my home. It does not matter whether it's now or in the future, it will always be so.”

”Do you not feel that you are acting like a capricious, unruly missy?” Mo Wen laughed. The Gu Clan Fort was going to fall. Her staying would be nothing but suicide.

”Capricious and unruly? What do you know?” Gu Jingman gave Mo Wen a stare saying, ”You better get out of my sight. Just looking at you makes me angry. Later, I'll send someone to send you back to Charm City.”

”To bring me here and send me off as you please. How can things be so simple?” Mo Wen wore a look that said it was easier to raise the devil than to lay him.

”Then, what do you plan to do? Surely you don't plan to stay back and die?” Gu Jingman took a step forward and patted Mo Wen on the shoulder. ”I do hope that you would stay back and accompany me to die. At least we have a scapegoat, and when we are on Death's Road, at least I have company.”

”Please don't. I'm still a virgin. I don't want to die so soon.” Mo Wen said seriously, as he shook his head.

”Then, why are you sitting around for? Get out of my sight!” Gu Jingman humped coldly. As she said this, she took out her phone and informed her people to make arrangements for a return flight.

”I haven't received my reward yet, and you want to get rid of me. Where in the world would you get such a thing?” Mo Wen leaned against a wall. He looked rascally, as though he would not leave without his reward.

”Aiyo, you haven't even done anything, and you want to claim benefits?” Gu Jingman laughed with some mirth.

”I won't leave, if you don't give...” Mo Wen shook his head.

”If you leave, then go ahead and die!” Gu Jingman glared at him.

”If I die, it will be your fault. You invite people over, but don't payout the reward. So untrustworthy. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go,” Mo Wen said calmly.

”Don't argue with me. Quickly tell me what you want, then scram.” Gu Jingman had no energy to blindly deal with Mo Wen. She wasn't in the mood. Anyhow, Mo Wen could not stay. Her grandfather's words gave her an uneasy feeling. The situation wasn't as optimistic as she had thought.

”Leave the matter of the reward for later. Let's settle the matter of Lin Qing first. Have your people found her whereabouts yet?”
