Chapter 429: Beat Up Gu Masters (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“But… but…” Zi Su’s 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?
“Alright, I won’t force you. The choice is in your hands. I’m just reminding you one last time. That lord’s status is no small matter, and his strength can’t be underestimated. When he kills your young master, you’ll still fall into his hands. You can leave. If you’ve thought it through, come and find me. I can’t do anything about it if you can’t think it through. Although you’re my escorts, I can’t protect you.”
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. “Sir, please protect my two young masters!”!!
“Sigh.” The Gu Master reached out. “If you had known earlier, why would you have done it back then? Forget it, forget it. On account of your sincerity, I’ll do my best.”
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. “Do you have a way to persuade your young master to let you go?”
Zi Su shook her head. “The two young masters have done me a great favor. They don’t mind that I’m a servant. I think they must be able to tell that I’m not sincere.”
The Gu Master sighed. “Then we can only hide it from them first.”
Zi Su looked puzzled. “Gu Master, you mean…”
The Gu Master said, “I’ll secretly send you to Lord Fei Luo’s side. When they find out, they can only accept it.”
Zi Su was silent.
The Gu Master said earnestly, “I said that I won’t force you. If you want to go back on your word…”
Zi Su gritted her teeth. “No, I won’t go back on my word! I’ll go with you!”
“Aye, there’s no hurry.” The Gu Master’s eyes flashed. Originally, it was true that Lord Fei Luo only wanted Zi Su, but now…
“What’s wrong, sir?” Zi Su looked at him in confusion.
The Gu Master said calmly, “Actually, Lord Fei Luo wanted to kill your two young masters, but don’t worry, I’ve already tried my best to persuade Lord Fei Luo, but…”
Without the Gu Master saying it himself, Zi Su could guess some things. Zi Su begged, “Gu Master, please speak. As long as you can protect my two young masters, I’ll do anything!”
“It’s not difficult.” The Gu Master took out a round bead from his wide sleeve and handed it to Zi Su. “This is a Gu bead. I need you to use it to find something later. That thing is useless in your young master’s 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.”
Zi Su took the Gu bead and left. About half an hour later, she came over furtively.
The Gu Master looked at her expectantly. “You got it?”
Zi Su shook her head. “There’s nothing you mentioned.”
“Did you not look carefully?” The Gu Master asked.
Zi Su said seriously, “I did. You said that the Gu bead will light up when it gets close to that thing, but it didn’t light up.”
The Gu Master muttered, “Could it be that Lord Fei Luo guessed wrongly? They don’t have the Gu King at all?”
“Sir, what did you say?” Zi Su widened her eyes as if she did not hear him clearly.
The Gu Master cleared his throat. “Nothing. Did you find it on your young master?”
Zi Su lowered her head and said, “How would I dare? If this thing lights up and Young Master finds out and asks me what it is, how will I answer?”
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?
“What should we do, sir? I didn’t get anything. Is my young master hopeless?” Zi Su asked anxiously.
The Gu Master said in a teasing tone, “This… depends on how you plead for mercy for your young master in front of Lord Fei Luo. Don’t worry, as long as you please Lord Fei Luo, Lord Fei Luo won’t make things difficult for your young master.”
Zi Su bit her lip. “Then… then please lead the way. I want to see Lord Fei Luo.”
