Chapter 228 - Slave Xin (2/2)
“Oh?” Gu Shenwei replied faintly as he pictured his younger self back at the Firewood Yard, isolated and helpless
“Do you still remember… that white handkerchief?”
Gu Shenwei stopped cleaning the blade of his sword to get a good look at Slave Xin for the first time “So, it was you”
Written on the handkerchief was Gu Fath Gu Shenent through a lot of trouble to find it He even went as far as killing Slave Yao Afterward, this handkerchief was secretly returned, and Gu Shenwei had always thought the person who returned this was the deceased Slave Qian He could not believe that it was the very cowardly Slave Xin
“Hehe, it wasa word to anyone”
Slave Xin was illiterate, and the white handkerchief was thrown off the cliff Not worrying about hi the whistle, he continued to clean his blade “It’s not such a secret thing It was just a small keepsake left for me to remember my family by, and I have no clue where it is”
Slave Xin was stunned The only reason why he dared to say this secret out loud was to receive gratitude but he was left disappointed Not caring for his last bit of self-esteem, Slave Xin plopped down on his hands and knees and said in tears, “Slave Huan, no, Lord Yang, let me make a blood oath to you I will forever be loyal to you”
Slave Xin’s behavior was utterly unexpected The blood oath was traditionally a killers, not for servants Moreover, this was the first day of their reunion; there was hardly any room for loyalty
Gu Shenwei put his sword down and said, “What is going on? Get up If you have soet up, but he decided to speak up “I, I don’t want to die”
“Who wants to kill you?” If it was Luo Ningcha, then Gu Shenwei thought he could ask her to spare his life
“No… no one wants to kill me, but it’s… those who have offended you would die: Slave Xiao, Slave Yao, Slave Qian, they all died like this, even Slave San and the others too In the past, they have all talked about you behind your back Once you were gone; they either couldn’t stand thebird There were a total of ten who followed the Miss, and now I’”
Gu Shenwei had been haunted by “evil” back then and did not think that Slave Xin would still obsess over such a thing in the past “It’s not like you have offendedto worry about”
Slave Xin was truly frightened, to the point of banging his head a few ti his forehead to turn purple Gu Shenwei asked him coldly, “Who did you tell about the handkerchief to?”
“You knoouldn’t say anything, even if I was tortured, but I had no choice! I had to leave the Firewood Yard You know the Firewood Yard is not humane… so when he asked, I just answered”
“He? Who’s he?” Gu Shenwei interrupted
“The Blade Master of the Heart Cleansing Yard, Shen”
Slave Xin originally wanted to keep the truth to hi the death of every one of his companions and the reason behind their deaths all seeer He was too afraid of the “evil” and treht of Slave Huan, even to the point of stuttering
After the death of the first Young Master Shangguan Chui, Shen Liang launched a thorough investigation into Slave Huan’s and Maid Lotus’ background Maid Lotus had a si suspicious was found However, Slave Huan’s background was obscure Although the inforave see was even more baffled by the white handkerchief Slave Xin mentioned Unfortunately, Slave Xin was illiterate and could not tell him ritten on it
Gu Shenwei finally understood why Shen Liang could not keep his eyes off of hi ht after and can me to you”
“Blademaster Shen didn’t have you collected information for him?”
Slave Xin repeatedly bowed his head “Bladeet some information about you fro to her You ot into the Golden Roc Fort to exact revenge for his fa were to learn of this, it would be the end of Slave Huan
“Okay, I forgive you,” said Gu Shenwei He originally wanted to wait for the co to take care of Luo Ningcha and the “Wayless Book”, but the circu discovered his secrets
