Chapter 15 (2/2)
”I'm bothering you? How dare you say that I'm bothering you?” He didn't get angry nor annoying, instead his face carried a mocking look, ”Ridiculous.”
”I don't think you're that funny either!” She remarked sarcastically, ”Let me tell you, my friends are very powerful! I advise you to be sensible and let me go!”
”Oh? Powerful?” The red-robed man's originally calm and collected demeanor seemed to have been upset by Gu Qingyu's words, ”I would actually like to know, exactly how powerful they are!”
”My G.o.d, you're so annoying!” Gu Qingyu didn't seem so calm either, ”Alright, you win! I'll accept whatever you tell me to do! Just let me go, ok?!”
”It's very simple,” The man smiled enticingly, ”From today and forwards, you must carry the Blood Life Jade with you at all times, that's all.”
That's it? ”You even dragged out the whole day for such a simple task! Couldn't you tell me from the start?!” Gu Qingyu glared fiercely at him.
”Ey, Revered One haven't finished yet.” said the man unhurriedly and calmly. His palm suddenly beamed, and the rock appeared. ”You are allowed to tell your friends about this, but never must you tell them or anyone that you've seen Revered One.”
Che~, he actually knows how to feel bad. Gu Qingyu looked at him in disdain, and nodded, ”I can promise that, but you must tell me the reason why I'm here!” If she didn't ask for anything back, wouldn't she be too much of a goody? She, Gu Qingyu, definitely wasn't someone who didn't take advantage of people!
”That I can do, but now is not the time.” He said with a coquet smile, ”I forgot to tell you, the Blood Life Jade is a unique and matchless treasure. Many would love to get their hands on it, and there isn't a single martial artist that wouldn't want it.”
”Eh? What should I do then?” Gu Qingyu frowned, ”It's not like I'm a martial artist expert, and I can't have Jia Qizhe or Qi Yichen to protect me at all times. Am I not screwed then? h.e.l.lo? I cherish my own life very much!”
”Psst, I won't allow my own people to get harmed.” He leisurely picked up a piece of rock on the floor, then slowly and steadily crushed it into dust, ”Those people, I'll help you take care of them.”
My people? Alright, I'll allow myself to be one for the time being……'Take care of'? Why does it sound so dreadful! Kk, I won't investigate this for now.
”Then…why do you keep calling yourself 'Revered One'?……Who are you even?” She asked curiously.
That guy actually slightly lowered his eyes, ”This Revered One was previously……the Flame Revered.”
Previously?
Gu Qingyu wanted to ask clearly, but the red-robed man lightly swung his sleeves, ”Forget it. Let's stop here for today, I'm tired.”
Gu Qingyu still wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt the skies and earth tumbling down. She closed her eyes and didn't sense anything anymore.
