314 Trus (2/2)

”Take 10,000 taels of silver from Xiaoyi.”

Xu Yanwei jumped up, intending to give the Dragon King a hug, but she dared not do it. To return to the Residence of Dragon King was to forfeit her life, and she knew she couldn't ask for more.

Gu Shenwei already solemn face grew graver, ”If you cannot provide useful information for a consecutive month, I will take back all the money and require you to pay rent.”

”Ok, it's a deal,” she said, ”I have an information now.” Xu Yanwei was very confident in her ability to obtain useful information from men.

Gu Shenwei knew what Xu Yanwei was going to say. However, before he could stop her, she was already speaking, ”The day after tomorrow is the wedding day. She will belong to another man if no one saves her. What kind of person is Meng Mingshi? He doesn't deserve to marry me, let alone...”

The Dragon King turned around and left because he worried that he would lose control and draw his sword. For him, there were few people who deserved his trust. The swordsman from the Great Snowmountain followed the Dragon King reverently. But for a demigod for the Dragon King, they were but humans. Only Xu Weiyan and her brother, Chu Nanping, and Tie Linglong were like his families and friends to some extent.

Although killing made him excited, the people he didn't actually feel like killing brought his heart peace.

Maid Lotus waited for Dragon King in the study because they had a lot of things to make clear. The cooperation between them in the morning was just a courtesy.

Having thought about one thing for the past few days, Gu Shenwei asked Maid Lotus as soon as they met, ”Before, was it the New Moon Hall who offered a reward for my saber?”

Maid Lotus nodded frankly, ”The Master thought that magic weapons couldn't be wasted. But it turned out that the Dragon King was safe, so she changed her mind and got ready to join hands with you.”

”What about you? What's your purpose?” Gu Shenwei asked. In his mind, the most dreadful person wasn't the tall and beautiful Master, but the reserved and introverted woman in front of him,” You stole the Wayless Book and gave it to the New Moon Hall, and you passed on the Death Scripture. You must be a great donor. The Master thinks highly of you, doesn't she?”

”The Master trusts me, and she lets me preside over Jade City's affairs. As for why I want to cooperate with you, it is because I need your help.”

Gu Shenwei raised his head slightly and paid attention to Maid Lotus's words.

”You still suffer from qigong deviation, right?”Maid Lotus changed the topic suddenly.

Gu Shenwei suddenly felt filled with a cold rage, and he almost drew his sword. He had the urge to fight with this woman right now. ”Yes,” he said with a flat tone, ”it flares up every one to three months.”

Maid Lotus did not show any regret at all. She cast down her eyes and said, ”The Wayless Qigong is sorcery on Internal Strength. You secretly worry about underlying qigong deviation but I have the ability to get rid of it completely. ”

Gu Shenwei knew the meaning in Maid Lotus's words. One would risk self-destruction in several months or sooner if he practiced the Wayless Qigong. During that period, there would be no sign of Internal Breath, making one just like an ordinary person. He wouldn't even be able to defeat an ordinary swordsman.

He had personally witnessed the Supreme King Shangguan Fa experience such a thing.

”Do you mean that you want me to protect you when you self-destruct?” Gu Shenwei asked. He hd not expected that Maid Lotus would propose this idea. The situation forced them to cooperate, but they were still enemies. Sooner or later, they would meet with sabers.

Maid Lotus nodded, ”This is a reciprocal arrangement. If you help me, I will also protect you when you suffer from qigong deviation.”

”Have we established enough trust for this?”Gu Shenwei couldn't resist asking sarcastically.

”This is not trust.” Maid Lotus corrected. Just like before, Slave Huan had made a plan, and she was responsible for fixing the bugs of the plan. ”This is the only choice. Jade City is full of enemies and traps. Do you have a safe place to hide and trusted people by your side when you suffer from qigong deviation?”

Maid Lotus's words struck a nerve in Gu Shenwei. Truthfully, there was no one he could rely on when he suffered qigong deviation, as proven by the experience in recent days. Even Chu Nanping wasn't an ideal protector. As a young swordsman, Chu Nanping was short of the temper and lacked the habit of being a killer, making his protection unreliable.

However, Gu Shenwei couldn't trust Maid Lotus. At least not now.

”You know, I will not kill you and I will not allow others to kill you either.” Maid Lotus's tone changed, bearing a trace of sadness and emotion. ”I have never changed my mind. I want to watch you die because of qigong deviation, but I will not do anything to prevent you from fighting the qigong deviation.”

Gu Shenwei felt that he was already adept at controlling his emotions, but the anger was so strong that he almost lost his mind. His hand was already on the sword hilt, but he loosened his grip again. He has not fully recovered and he could not defeat her. He couldn't be impulsive , Gu Shenwei warned himself.

Maid Lotus realized the mood of Dragon King shifting and backed down before slowly saying, ”Who better to believe than a persistent enemy?”

Gui Shenwei said, ”Why would you believe me? The New Moon Hall is full of masters.”

”Yes, but they only do things for Blood Coagulation Pill. How dare I accept their protection when I have no strength to resist?”

”That is true,” Gu Shenwei said. He neither agreed nor objected.

Maid Lotus thought they had reached a consensus, so she didn't say more but asked, ”What's next? The Wildhorse Gang can't be able to make a comeback in a short time. Who is our next target?”

Gu Shenwei had been thinking about the next target for a long time. He looked at Maid Lotus and said, ”The Meng family.”

Maid Lotus raised her eyebrows slightly. Just like before, she knew Slave Huan's ideas, but she would not voice her own so easily.
