Chapter 123 Leave for Suzhou (1/2)

The Star Tree is full of stars, every of which looks like an apple as common as those sold in the street.

The sword in the second star map is still giving off faint starlight. Gao Ge suddenly feels that this sword is meant for him.

As he has a thought in mind, he searches in the second star map and meanwhile urges his power of stars. When he opens his eyes again, the sword is held in his hand. Moreover, compared with before, it is a bit different. The sword handle is engraved with a gem which is giving off a faint light. The light does look like the starlight indeed.

Watching the sword for a while, Gao Ge wonders whether he should name the sword.

He ponders for a moment and uses up his intelligence to eventually come up with a very nice, low-key, grand and meaningful name.

Big Treasure Sword!

The word—big is splendid and grand.

The word—treasure stands for honor.

The word—sword is simple, clear and direct.

Having thought of the name, Gao Ge can’t help admiring himself who is both talented and handsome.

All of a sudden, he hears someone walking near.

Without any hesitation, Gao Ge runs the power of stars again to check the second star map. The sword disappears again, leaving no trace at all.

“The Dragon Court members are here. They will take away Mo Ran now.” Xia Lu says after coughing.

Gao Ge nods his head and follows Xia Lu downstairs.

Mo Ran is still sitting on the sofa, watching Liu Dan’s and the others’ corpses in a trance.

Compared with a moment ago, his face has become better.

He thought that he would completely let go as long as he had his revenge by killing Liu Rui, Song Zhi and other enemies.

However, at the moment, he suddenly realizes that it is not what he wants.

After Liu Rui and the others are dead, he has a feeling of weakness, wondering what he should do for the following days.

Hatred was what motivated him to keep going forward.

He was thinking about revenging all the time, but when he took his revenge, he was completely collapsed.

Before the Dragon Court members came here, he cried with his hands holding his head for a long time, curling his body. He appeared quite helpless.

Now, he becomes better, probably because he has drained his tears.

The Dragon Court has sent two people here, both of whom Gao Ge has never met before and doesn’t know where they come from.

After everything is settled here, Gao Ge makes a call to Tang Jiusi, reporting the situation. He basically tells him everything except the death of Shen Mo and Wang Zhe. He claims that it is him who causes their death on the ground that they didn’t take his order. As the leader, he has the right over life and death upon his squad members, which has been mentioned by Tang Jiusi before.

Now as he recalls, Gao Ge can’t help thinking whether Tang Jiusi was giving him a hint.

On the contrary, Xiao Linran expressed his thought in a more direct way.

He told Gao Ge bluntly that he could take the chance to kill his enemy.

The middle-aged man, one of the Dragon Court members, looks at Gao Ge and says, “You should have gone back with us. After all, three members of your squad are dead and you must give an explanation as the leader. However, since you need to go elsewhere to help execute another task, I will say no more.”

Gao Ge nods his head and looks at Mo Ran who is squatting aside, asking, “May I ask whether he will die for this?”

The middle-aged man is a bit confused and then looks at Gao Ge, asking, “Is it important?”

“Yes.”

“Why does it matter to you?”

“If he is executed, I will feel very guilty.” Gao Ge says, “I don’t think he did anything wrong. He just took the revenge for his girl. He did try to do it in a legal way but he failed.”
