Chapter 856 - Not Very Smart (1/2)

In the dungeon.

Yue Xincheng holds Qingrou into his arms.

“Don’t be afraid. When Boss arrives, I will kill him first,” Yue Xincheng says fiercely.

Qingrou chuckles and says in a low voice, “Do you think I’m afraid?”

“You are not indeed.” Yue Xincheng laughs.

“By the way, did you really give him the map?”

“Yeah.” Yue Xincheng nods, “It’s not a big deal. If they cannot find it, I will go and find it then. If they do… Well. I suppose they cannot. As far as I think, Boss must be arriving soon.”

Qingrou raises her head. There seem to be stars hidden in her eyes.

“You are so confident.”

With a burst of laughter, Yue Xincheng doesn’t reply.

“Oh right, I’ve also got some information when I was outside. I heard that the opening ceremony of the Star Sect was about to be held.”

“The Star Sect?” Yue Xincheng is taken aback and then presses his lips together disdainfully, “It’s none of our business.”

“You are the deputy sovereign of the Star Sect,” Qingrou says with a sweet smile.

“Um? What is this Star Sect? How can it try to get involved with me? This is too much. It is literally riding the wave of my popularity. I cannot stand it. When I get out, I must talk to the people of the Star Sect. They cannot do this to me…”

Yue Xincheng cannot continue talking anymore.

He finds that Qingrou leaning against his arms is smiling more and more weirdly.

He immediately has sweat on his head.

“The Star Sect? The one in Jiangnan City?”

“Haha, you react quite fast!” Qingrou bursts out laughing.

Yue Xincheng smiles bitterly, “Don’t tell Boss about this. He will kick my ass for sure…” Despite that, even an idiot can tell that Yue Xincheng is actually quite touched.

…

A taxi stops at the gate.

Gao Ge and Xia Shengtang get out of the taxi and it just leaves.

“This is it?”

“Yeah.” Xia Shengtang nods and then says, “Wait! Are you sure that we don’t need to make any preparations?”

“That’s not necessary,” Gao Ge says calmly.

Xia Shengtang laughs, “Mate, you are so full of yourself.”

Then, he says, “I’ve met the master of the Jin Family several times. Let’s go inside together and I will chat with him while you find a chance to run away and find Yue Xincheng.”

“Okay,” Gao Ge replies and then adds with embarrassment, “Thank you.”

“Never mind. After we go back, give me 1,000 spiritual jades. I know you have a lot,” Xia Shengtang says.

Gao Ge dithers over it and then asks in a low voice, “What about you waiting for me outside?”

The corner of Xia Shengtang’s mouth twitch, “Can you be a bit generous? You’ve got so many spiritual jades. Why can’t you give any to me? After all, I’m your brother-in-law. Do you think it right to be so stingy to me?”

“Yes.”

Xia Shengtang feels that what he has said is in vain.

“Haha. I was kidding. I will give you 2,000 when we go back!” Gao Ge says.

“Um?” Xia Shengtang looks at Gao Ge in disbelief as if he met Gao Ge for the first time.

“However, when you are done using them, you must return the used spiritual jades to me,” Gao Ge says.

Xia Shengtang nods and then suddenly realizes something. He stares at Gao Ge with his eyes wide open.

Seeing that Xia Shengtang wants to say something, Gao Ge waves his hand.

“I won’t admit it no matter what you say.”
