Chapter 42: Leaving the Zhoujia Village (2/2)

Xie Mengxuan felt a little bit impatient since Gu Yusheng kept struggling with this matter. However, in her view, there was still a long way to go. She frowned. “It’s too early to talk about this. The most important in the current situation is his life. We’re bound to find him at any cost. If he’s alive, the Xie family will support him for the rest life to pay back his kindness.”

Gu Yusheng raised his volume. “It’s me rather than him who saved you.”

Now that he had mentioned it, Xie Mengxuan wouldn’t avoid the fact. She sneered and took a step backward. “Yes, you saved me, but without him, how could I survive in the wild when I was injured? I also owe a debt of life to him.”

“You just want to pay back his kindness? What about mine? When will you pay back to me?” Gu Yusheng continued.

Astonished, Xie Mengxuan shook her head with a smile after a while. “Big Brother Gu, I’ve never thought that there is need to talk about this between us.”

She bypassed Gu Yusheng and went down the mountain along the road. She was going to look for him on her own.

Gu Yusheng standing still, her words repeated in his mind. He was aware that he had blown it. Gu Yusheng shouldn’t have said such words.

He took a deep breath and turned to descend the mountain.

His subordinates, Uncle Luo and he himself searched under the mountain for two days, only to find the fragments of the coffin. They didn’t find Geng Zhishan, not even a little blood.

Xie Mengxuan was still worried.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, she looked up at the sunny sky. It had stopped raining. A look of sarcasm flashed through her eyes.

Gu Yusheng was a bit embarrassed and went to Xie Mengxuan. “Xuan, the road has been cleared up, and the house of Geng Zhishan has been taken by those people. Are you going to linger here?”

Having a look at him, Xie Mengxuan glanced around and took a deep breath. “He has promised me that he would come to find me. Now that we couldn't find him, he should be alive. We have to go back to the Imperial Capital first.”

She returned to be the tough young lady from the Xie family. It seemed that she never became upset and cried.

However, Gu Yusheng knew that she had not taken a good rest during these days.

Xie Mengxuan took a deep breath.

“Thank you for all the trouble you’ve taken. We’ll go back to the Imperial Capital at first. As long as he’s alive, I’m bound to find him.”

She seemed to stick to this matter. It looked bleak.

Gu Yusheng didn’t speak it out since Uncle Luo had told him that the more he said, the more he made mistakes. It would be better for him to keep silent.

They made arrangements to make their subordinates set off respectively in advance. Xie Mengxuan packed her luggage and left the Zhoujia Village with Uncle Luo and Gu Yusheng.

When she was leaving, she met Aunt Cui at the village entrance.

Aunt Cui looked at her with a sinister expression while Xie Mengxuan looked back with a bright smile.

Aunt Cui's plot had failed. Even if she left this place, she would always be scared. However, Xie Mengxuan would make her live in fear for her rest life. When she left here, she would inform Aunt Cui of her identity.

Xie Mengxuan had a glance at her and turned away.

She stroke fear into Aunt Cui. When she finally shifted her eyes, shortly afterwards Aunt Cui felt another terrible look. However, she figured out nothing when she looked up.

Aunt Cui was no longer worried. She was leaving here for a good life. All her misfortunes would disappear!
