Chapter 774 - Waterside Pavilion (2/2)
The two arrived at another small courtyard, observed it a little, and then jumped across the nearby roofs one after another
Nie Zeng soon found out who the owner of the house was and what the Dragon King had been asking about just now
”It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival” Duan Zihua looked up at the moon and then at his wife and children around the table He didn't notice the intruders on the roof The open-air fa more to say except, ”Go and rest”
The women took the children back to their rooms and quickly packed up the dishes that had barely been touched No one made a sound except for occasional the clatter as the cups and plates were brought away
Soon the little courtyard was empty The women blew out the lamps in their rooms, and with an uneasy nervousness they forced the the crisis to the men outside
The three sons frustratedly sat opposite to their father and no one said a word for a long while ”It's not your fault, father It's chaotic outside due to the war The loss of goods was expected,” said the eldest son
The second son slumped down on his knee and nearly ju can't find work now What else can you do, father? Golden Roc Castle should be responsible for the loss”
The third son was the last to speak ”The lord… The lord is not this kind of person Maybe soed”
Duan Zihua waved his hand and ordered his sons to go inside They couldn't offer hi Yuzun now
Duan Zihua didn't kno long he had been sitting there alone He had lived a dignified life his whole life and just couldn't understand how this could happen to him just as he was about to retire With his mind confused and his eyes blank, he didn't come to his senses until a shadow sat down on the empty round stool left by his eldest son
”You…”
”Shh” Gu Shenwei shushed hier to the lips
Duan Zihua was quite experienced He ihtened up his body and kept silent
Nie Zeng ca onto the roof again
”You can speak now,” Gu Shenwei said
”Who are you?”
”It doesn'tis who is the man in the waterside pavilion of Bodhi Garden”
Duan Zihua was stunned ”You are… You are a golden roc killer?” He felt a familiar quality to the other side
”I'm not from Golden Roc Castle” Gu Shenwei shook his head as he denied it He was a bit surprised because even a real golden roc killer couldn't sense his killing aura now And yet, this ordinary oldfu was actually aware of it
”You are a er answered and instead asked his own question ”YouYuzun today”
Duan Zihua hastily said, ”It's none of your business”
”If you want to save your wife and children then it is my business because I can help you”
Unmoved, Duan Zihua suddenly leaned over and said, ”It was the Dragon King's ood guy?”
”The Dragon King is not a robber, and neither does he care about your little goods”
Duan Zihua's face twitched slightly ”Right The 100,000 taels of silver is not worth , but for me, it's a fatal catastrophe But if you think that you can buyThe lord has been so kind to me that I won't have any complaints even if he kills my entire family”
”I won't try to buy you over with 100,000 taels of silver, and nor would I want you to betray the Meng fa family needs your help”
”What… What do you mean?”
”Who was that man in the waterside pavilion of Bodhi Garden?”
”Of course it's my lord Who else could it be?”
Gu Shenwei silently stared at hi hiradually recalled so ”It's impossible,” he said ”How can that be? My lord… How can he be fake?” His voice was getting lower and lower as he continued thinking about the situation
There was nothing more thatGu Shenwei needed to say He stood up and said, ”If I were you, I would keepas I could You don't have to do anything Maybe things will take a turn for the better themselves”
Dumbfounded, Duan Zihua's heart fluctuated between hope and fear, and he didn't even notice when his visitor had disappeared
