Chapter 236 (2/2)

These disciples directly regarded Nan Xun as air and led the few chosen gu people away.

Nan Xun felt anger rising from her heart. “I have endured humiliation for so many years, and now that I’m offering myself to die, they’re not accepting me! Little Eight, you say, isn’t that so annoying?”

Little Eight asked in puzzlement, “What humiliation did you endure?”

Nan Xun, “I was reduced to a courtesan in a brothel, do you still dare to say that I haven’t endured humiliation?”

Little Eight humphed. “I don’t know who ate tasty food and strong drinks all day long, who could eat eight whole roasted chickens a day! This grandpa has seen rice buckets before, but never one like you.”

Nan Xun, “…it’s because of the body, don’t blame me ah.”

Little Eight, “Excuses, you were already a foodie originally, this grandpa only indirectly helped you achieve your aim.”

Nan Xun felt that it was useless to be calculating with a beast. After standing in the same place for a while, she quickly followed the group of people in front.

“Hey, brothers, please accept me as a gu person ah. I’m hardworking and capable, not afraid of hardship, and also, poisonous snake really don’t bite me ah—”

The group of people in front didn’t kill her, so Nan Xun just followed them until they arrived outside of the palace.

Nan Xun thought that no matter how powerful Moran Hall was, it would still be located on the most prosperous street outside the palace. Never would she have thought that it would be built directly inside the palace!

Moreover, each disciple of Moran Hall had a token that allowed them to enter and leave the palace freely.

The privilege given by the king was really too great.

Nan Xun was naturally stopped from going any further.

Seeing that the group of people were about to enter the palace gate, Nan Xun became anxious and yelled again to recommend herself.

One disciple in front couldn’t bear it anymore. He walked straight over, picked up Nan Xun’s front lapel, and dragged her inside. “Boy, this is you courting your own death. When the time comes, there’s no use even if you wail and beg to the heavens.”

Faint wicked interest flashed in the man’s eyes. Who knew what he thought of, but the gaze he directed at Nan Xun was as if he was looking at a dead object.

Nan Xun suddenly shuddered.

This dead man must be thinking of how to play with her to death.

“Shiqi, if Lord knows that you have recruited a useless person back, I won’t beg for leniency for you,” Second Brother reminded him coldly.

[T/N: he was referring him with number, shiqi was seventeen, Gong Shiqi means Gong Seventeen (taken from their master’s name Gong Moran), but to avoid awkwardness in translation later on, I will choose to refer to his name as Shiqi]

Gong Shiqi humphed. “Lord hasn’t blamed me yet. You just heard that this kid doesn’t want anything else and isn’t afraid of death. It’s the same as picking up a volunteer for free.”

Nan Xun went all the way inside Nanyun Kingdom’s imperial palace, and then followed the group of gu people into a beautiful and imposing building—Moran Hall.

In fact, it was more appropriate to call it Moran Palace, but perhaps because that name was taboo for the state teacher, it was changed to Moran Hall.

Moran Hall came with an ultra-luxurious compound. The main hall was as lavish and extravagant as an emperor’s sleeping quarters; furthermore, there were ten rooms on both sides of the hall. If each disciple of Moran Hall lived in one room, there would still be two left empty.

Nan Xun smiled confidently. “I think one of these two rooms will be mine.”

Little Eight, “Continue to be so confident, there’s nothing wrong with it!”
