âBut⦠butâ¦â Zi Suâs fingers dug into her flesh.
How could a Gu Master not tell that she had long been tempted? The human heart was made of flesh. If that family had anxiously sold her, she might have been able to ignore it, but in order to protect her, they did not hesitate to become enemies with two Gu Masters. No matter how bad she was, she was unwilling to see that family suffer, right?
âAlright, I wonât force you. The choice is in your hands. Iâm just reminding you one last time. That lordâs status is no small matter, and his strength canât be underestimated. When he kills your young master, youâll still fall into his hands. You can leave. If youâve thought it through, come and find me. I canât do anything about it if you canât think it through. Although youâre my escorts, I canât protect you.â
The reason why the Gu Master dared to say this was none other than because he was certain that Zi Su had a conscience and would never let her young master fall into danger.
As expected, just as Zi Su turned around and walked to the entrance of the tent, she suddenly gritted her teeth and knelt down. âSir, please protect my two young masters!â
âSigh.â The Gu Master reached out. âIf you had known earlier, why would you have done it back then? Forget it, forget it. On account of your sincerity, Iâll do my best.â
The reason why the Gu Master said this was because he did not want to offend Zi Su too much. Otherwise, when Zi Su was favored in the future, he would not be able to resist Lord Fei Luo. âDo you have a way to persuade your young master to let you go?â
Zi Su shook her head. âThe two young masters have done me a great favor. They donât mind that Iâm a servant. I think they must be able to tell that Iâm not sincere.â
The Gu Master sighed. âThen we can only hide it from them first.â
Zi Su looked puzzled. âGu Master, you meanâ¦â
The Gu Master said, âIâll secretly send you to Lord Fei Luoâs side. When they find out, they can only accept it.â
Zi Su was silent.
The Gu Master said earnestly, âI said that I wonât force you. If you want to go back on your wordâ¦â
Zi Su gritted her teeth. âNo, I wonât go back on my word! Iâll go with you!â
âAye, thereâs no hurry.â The Gu Masterâs eyes flashed. Originally, it was true that Lord Fei Luo only wanted Zi Su, but nowâ¦
âWhatâs wrong, sir?â Zi Su looked at him in confusion.
The Gu Master said calmly, âActually, Lord Fei Luo wanted to kill your two young masters, but donât worry, Iâve already tried my best to persuade Lord Fei Luo, butâ¦â
Without the Gu Master saying it himself, Zi Su could guess some things. Zi Su begged, âGu Master, please speak. As long as you can protect my two young masters, Iâll do anything!â
âItâs not difficult.â The Gu Master took out a round bead from his wide sleeve and handed it to Zi Su. âThis is a Gu bead. I need you to use it to find something later. That thing is useless in your young masterâs hands, but Lord Fei Luo likes it. If you offer that thing to Lord Fei Luo, you will definitely be able to find a way for the two young masters to live.â
Zi Su took the Gu bead and left. About half an hour later, she came over furtively.
The Gu Master looked at her expectantly. âYou got it?â
Zi Su shook her head. âThereâs nothing you mentioned.â
âDid you not look carefully?â The Gu Master asked.
Zi Su said seriously, âI did. You said that the Gu bead will light up when it gets close to that thing, but it didnât light up.â
The Gu Master muttered, âCould it be that Lord Fei Luo guessed wrongly? They donât have the Gu King at all?â
âSir, what did you say?â Zi Su widened her eyes as if she did not hear him clearly.
The Gu Master cleared his throat. âNothing. Did you find it on your young master?â
Zi Su lowered her head and said, âHow would I dare? If this thing lights up and Young Master finds out and asks me what it is, how will I answer?â
It seemed that it was possible that it was on the two young masters⦠The Gu Master touched his chin. Forget it, Lord Fei Luo had only asked him to bring Zi Su over. He was in a hurry to make a contribution, so he wanted to obtain the Gu King too. It was the same if Lord Fei Luo personally did it later. They were already camped here, so why would he be afraid that they would escape?
âWhat should we do, sir? I didnât get anything. Is my young master hopeless?â Zi Su asked anxiously.
The Gu Master said in a teasing tone, âThis⦠depends on how you plead for mercy for your young master in front of Lord Fei Luo. Donât worry, as long as you please Lord Fei Luo, Lord Fei Luo wonât make things difficult for your young master.â
Zi Su bit her lip. âThen⦠then please lead the way. I want to see Lord Fei Luo.â
