406 Maid (1/2)

Maid Lotus also peeked inside. After they had returned to the room, she told Gu Shenwei that she could not identify the bodies.

The two headless bodies could be anyone.

Before dawn, a mournful scream woke up the whole village. Everyone soon learned that a granddaughter of the chief was assassinated, along with her personal maid. Their heads were both cut off.

Who was cruel enough to assassinate two defenseless weak women? The clansmen and merchants in the village immediately thought of the Golden Roc Fort. The son of the Dongshan Mountain Tribe's chief had just chosen his fiancée, and then his fiancee's head was cut off. It was obvious that the Golden Roc Fort had done this.

The Dragon King easily got rid of suspicion. In the eyes of ordinary people, Ha Chilie was a subordinate of the Dragon King. He wouldn't do this to his own man.

Ha Chilie wasn't very enthusiastic about the marriage, but ending it in this way was beyond his tolerance. As soon as he heard the news, he went to see the fat chief. He swore to avenge his fiancee.

”The murderer is not only the enemy of the Gulping Wind Gorge, but also the sworn enemy of Dongshan Mountain Tribe. Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will kill him myself. ”

Ha Chilie's anger was appreciated by many people, especially the fat chief. He had always been able to keep his equanimity, but he had suffered a heavy blow by losing two kids in succession. He appeared to be much older all of a sudden.

Gu Shenwei was also present at the scene and gave the typical condolences. Most of the time, he was observing carefully.

The grief of the fat chief was sincere, no flaw could be detected. But this time, only one of his many granddaughters died, he looked even more sad and withered than when he lost the seventh young master. That was a little bit incongruent.

Guan Shang was also there, still unobtrusively hiding among the maids.

After all, Dragon King and Ha Chilie were outsiders, so they soon left.

On the way, Ha Chilie kept silent with his head down, seemingly preoccupied.

He probably still suspected that the Dragon King was the murderer. Gu Shenwei did not intend to tell the truth now. They would carry out the plot of Maid Lotus soon, and then everything would come to light naturally.

” Dragon King. ” When they almost arrived at their residence, Ha Chilie stopped. He looked around to make sure nobody was watching and then said, ” I don't know how to say this …”

” I don't want to lie to you, but I can't tell the truth right now, so don't ask.” Gu Shenwei hoped to get rid of Ha Chilie by saying so.

However, Ha Chilie looked very confused. Apparently, he had no idea what the Dragon King was talking about. Gu Shenwei realized that he was wrong about Ha Chilie's intention, ”Speak your mind. What's the matter? ”

Ha Chilie looked around again, ” Please come to my room.”

Gu Shenwei hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Ha Chilie and his tribe were very important in Wushan and would be a powerful ally of the Great Snowmountain now and in the future. It was worth it to draw them over to his side even though there were risks.

Ha Chilie's room was next to the Dragon King's. His room was also medium-sized with complete facilities and gorgeous decorations. The fat chief really did not treat him as an outsider.

Ha Chilie was still not at ease even after shutting the door. He pushed open the window and peeped out. He looked even more nervous than before.

Gu Shenwei was holding the hilt of his sword. This little trick couldn't fool him. There were at least two others hiding in the room.

Ha Chilie turned around and saw the Dragon King on full alert. He explained immediately,” Don't get me wrong. It's not me who wants to see you, it's her...”

Hardly had his voice faded away when the cabinet door in the corner opened silently. Two women came out. The younger one was around 15 and panicking. The older one was around 20 and alert just like the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei was surprised. He vaguely knew the identities of these two, but still felt that it was strange.

Ha Chilie pointed to the younger girl and said, ” This is Miss Ming Zhen.” Then he pointed to the older woman,”This is ... ”

” My name is Han Xuan. ” The woman introduced herself,” I'm half a disciple of the New Moon Hall. ”

Ming Zhen was the fiancee chosen by Ha Chilie. Han Xuan was naturally the master discovered by Maid Lotus. They should be dead in the bedroom instead of standing in front of the Dragon King.

The situation had changed dramatically. Gu Shenwei still held the hilt of his sword and remained silent. This time, it was the two women who had ”come back from the dead” that needed to explain.

Ming Zhen was a pampered young lady. It was not easy for her to still stay conscious after a sudden accident. She couldn't speak at all, so Han Xuan took it upon herself to speak with the Dragon King.

” You must be surprised. ”

”Yes.”

” Did you see the bodies last night? ”

”Yes.”

”Where is Maid Lotus? I want her to stand in front of my eyes. Her hiding in the dark makes me nervous. ”

Han Xuan's attitude was somewhat aggressive, and Gu Shenwei did not feel like ceding to her wishes. ”If you wanna tell me something, say it now. I can't stay for long and I think you have even less time.”

Han Xuan seemed to be on the verge of losing her temper but she quickly restrained it. She sighed, ”Yes, there is no time. Let's cut to the chase, Dragon King, Miss Ming Zhen and I need your protection.”

” Let's start from the beginning. Who are the two bodies? ”
