Chapter 36 (1/2)
“Let’s go.”
Donford Wu nodded.
“Sorry about this……”
Something hit the back of Donford Wu’s head, in an instant, he fainted.
Waiting until he woke up, his surroundings completely changed. The lush and dense forest and the familiar mountain cave disappeared, what replaced it was a wooden roof and a white bed curtains. On top of him was a pink blanket, the surroundings filled with a faint sawdust smell.
“My deepest apologies for hitting you unconscious yesterday night.”
From the south came Philip Yun’s voice.
Donford Wu sat up, only seeing here was a very large room. On the east side were a zither and various instruments, on the west side was a small table for Go. The small table was net to a window, and on top of that was a wooden shelf. On the shelf was different kinds of vases and cans. In the middle of the room was a wooden chair, Philip Yun was sitting by a round table. On top of the table was a copper teapot, from its mouth, hot air came whistling out.
Determining his environment, Donford Wu’s feet touched the ground and got up. He didn’t ask where he was, the two copper basin filled with red hot charcoal meant he was in the cold north.
Philip Yun pointed at a seat opposite of him, Donford Wu went over and sat down.
“Come and drink some tea.”
Philip Yun raised the pot and poured tea for Donford Wu. At this time, he already changed into a winter clothing, something similar to cotton, but even softer and lighter.
Donford Wu looked carefully at the tea cup, the tea in the teacup was very muddled, apart from tea leaves, there was also some kind of powder in it. According to the smell, it should be some kind of edible grains.
Philip Yun put down the copper teapot, smiling lightly at Donford Wu.
With a single gulp, Donford Wu finished off the tea, following, he started examining the tea cup in his hands. The tea cup was a jaded white color, made of porcelain, this meant that the Xia dynasty already had chinaware.
“Another?”
Philip Yun asked.
“Sure.”
Donford Wu put down the tea cup, the tea in this period of time might have been cooked, so it was rather thick.
“I really admire you.”
Philip Yun raised the pot and poured tea for Donford Wu.
“Why is that?”
Donford Wu asked.
“Because I like smart people.”
Philip Ming stated while smiling.
“I like things direct. Tell me, how are you planning to handle me?”
Donford Wu cupped the teacup in his hands, outside there was the whistles of the wind. The weather was very cold. Because there was a wind blocking white curtain over the window, he couldn’t see if it was currently snowing.
“How do you hope we handle you?”
Philip Yun put down the teapot.
“Would you do as I say?”
Donford Wu smiled. They kidnapped him clearly meant they treated him as a hostage. The reason was to make the Gold clan obedient. This was much smarter than the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt from before. Since he was a hostage, his life naturally wouldn’t be in danger, but what kind of treatment he would get was hard to say.
“No, what I say doesn’t go either.”
Philip Yun after shaking his head, lifted up his own tea cup.
“Last night, I tested your blood. You aren’t a pure Good blood, but rather a very strange kind of blood. Your kind of blood has no way to cultivate the Gold clan’s ways of controlling the laws.”
“I know.”
Donford Wu moved his itchy right hand.
“Take some of our healing Dan Pills, your wound should heal in three days.”
Philip Ming said.
“Thank you.”
Donford Wu thanked him. Philip Yun from appearing till now, was always polite to him, in it, there was definitely some falseness in it. But excluding this falseness, he felt that Philip Yun’s att.i.tude most likely had a different goal.
“You’re welcome, may I ask you some questions?”
Philip Ming asked.
“I know nothing about the Gold clan.”
Donford Wu shook his head.
“I’m not interested in them, you aren’t a Gold clansmen, where are you from?”
Philip Yun questioned.
“I don’t want to lie to you.”
Donford Wu stated. No matter if Philip Yun was honest or not, at least he tries to be polite. When responding to him, he also doesn’t want to be too impolite.
“Good!”
Philip Yun wasn’t mad, but rather nodded with satisfaction.
“May I ask you a few questions?”
Donford Wu asked.
“Please, speak.”
Philip Ming raised his hand.
“Why did you kidnap me?”
Donford Wu ask.
Philip Ming raised his eyebrows, taking a look at Donford Wu, not answering immediately.
A cloud of doubt raised in Donford Wu’s heart. To him, this question was the simplest question. Without question, the reason the Earth clan captured him was to make the Gold clan obedient, but seeing Philip Yun’s expression, it didn’t seem to be as simple as he thought.
After the moment of silence, Philip Yun opened his mouth to speak.
“I also don’t want to lie to you.”
Donford Wu nodded his head. Even though Philip Yun didn’t answer his question, but without a doubt, indirectly confirmed that the reason they captured him was not as simply as making the Gold clan obedient, but there should also be other reasons.
“How will you handle me?”
Donford Wu inquired.
“We’ll send you to a safe place, the environment over there isn’t that great, also a food shortage. But you’ll be safe there, and not lonely.”
Philip Yun talking to here had a slight meaning to his smile.
“They have woman there.”
“Why are you being so polite to me?”
Donford Wu asked the thing he didn’t understand the most.
“I want to make a trade with you.”
Philip Yun said.
“I have nothing to trade with.”
