Chapter 10 - A Thousandth of a Tael Has Baffled a Hero (2/2)

There was no form of happiness or joy. The guards entered the dilapidated house without any mumbles. The old, rusty door was creating squeaky sounds when it was being pushed open. Every step that they took, dust was flying in the air.

The condition of the courtyard was even worse.

The paint on the pillar was peeling off and the weeds were growing out between the paving stones. Someone even cried out after seeing the spider webs which were intertwined at the gate.

“Miss, you can rest first. We will clean up the place,” the burly man stated and took a few deep breaths.

But…

Ji Fengyan just sat on the flight of stone steps and waved her hand, exclaiming, “No need to be anxious. Oh yes, also I don’t even know what’s your name.”

The burly man was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and replied, “I am Linghe.”

“Then I shall call you Brother He. That’s not a problem, right?” Ji Fengyan smiled.

‘He’? She liked this word a lot!

Linghe blushed and he could only nod his head silently.

“Brother He, do we have any money?” Ji Fengyan asked all of a sudden.

Linghe stood rooted to the ground, and the blush on his face disappeared immediately. Instead, his face took on a ghastly expression.

After Ji Fengyan’s father had pa.s.sed away, his Majesty had ordered the people to send them the World-Termination-Armour as well as lots of gold. However, before Ji Fengyan could even take any of the money, Ji Family had detained all of them.

During the journey, all their expenses were pooled together by Linghe and other bodyguards with much difficulty. They had already finished spending the money along the way so right now, they did not have any money left.

Linghe’s face turned from white to red- as red as the pig’s liver.
