Chapter 40
By the time Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing rushed back, Gu Xiang and the other were gone. Only the dead bodies were left which People from the Gao family manor were cleaning up, surrounding them where a big circle of curious onlookers.
Wen Kexing was still not very used to having something covering his face, constantly expecting the mask as thin as cicada's wing to drop at any moment, and then he witnessed Zhou Zishu, who has been hunted down just a moment earlier, swagger over as if he was not involved in the situation at all ... as if he was not Zhou Zishu.
For the first time, Wen Kexing realized that someone could be this outrageously brazen while harboring a guilty conscience; indeed, his face had become thicker sticking another layer over it, so he followed after him, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Several people were examining the body on the ground, and Mo Huaikong of the Qingfeng Sword Sect was among them. His expression grim apparently recognized Cao Weining's handwriting. Wen Kexing looked at him for a while, and murmured to Zhou Zishu and said, "Look at the expression of the old man named Mo. Cao Weining's can't have eloped with Gu Xiang, can he ?"
Zhou Zishu said, "You are too dirty-minded."
He then looked at the corpse on the ground, his brows knitting, and had a slight premonition of doom. What kind of people was the poisonous scorpion? Could those two unreliable ones handle the situation, while bringing a half-grown child with them? Were they dead or alive now? And where did you go?
Wen Kexing thought about it for a while, and said, "Now that whatever about the Lapis Armour and poisonous scorpion had incited a storm to blow all over the city, if it is Gu Xiang, that silly girl, she should be running to somewhere isolated."
Zhou Zishu glanced at him, quickly withdrew from the crowd, saying "What are you waiting for then, find her?
The two of them vanished as quickly as they came unnoticed by no one. Wen Kexing reassured him: "It's okay, Gu Xiang is not so useless as you think, and there is still Cao Weining."
Zhou Zishu frowned at him, and suddenly asked, "Why is Valley Master Wen so concerned about whether that little tyke lives or dies?"
Wen Kexing smiled, but once his mouse curved, he felt that the mask on his face wrinkled a little and threatened to fall off. When it was about to fall off, he reached out and pressed it. He started to appears strange to the onlookers, In reply, he asked, "Why, then, is Master Zhou so concerned about whether that little tyke lives or dies?"
Zhou Zishu said, "He is my disciple."
Wen Kexing answered: "Your disciple is my disciple, between the two of us, who is following who?"
Zhou Zishu said: "... between the two of us, you are following me--cut the nonsense out, are you aiming to gain some information from that little tyke?"
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you." Wen Kexing leered at him, but unfortunately, the human skin mask on his face was too unseemly to be a human, what he thought to be a flirtatious, charismatic gaze he was shooting at Zhou Zishu was truly bone-chilling.
Zhou Zishu immediately turned his head silently, repulsed. feeling that he brought this upon himself, and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will grow sores?"
Wen Kexing replied shamelessly: "I'll be completely satisfied even if they become infected."
Zhou Zishu then ignored him again, thinking for a moment, and then said, "looking at the origin of Rong Xuan and The Ghost Valley, I am afraid that the place where the five big families got the Lapis Armour should be within Ghost Valley. with the news of the Lapis Armour Leaking this time around, no person would miss out on clamoring for this opportunity, Don't tell me that some ghost was mortally tempted, and left the valley of his own accord? Don't tell me that he coincidentally has some things to do with the Zhang family's extermination case?... Don't tell me that you feel the same way as the Delighted Mourning Ghost, that Zhang Chengling ' coincidentally managed' to see that audacious ghost? "
Wen Ke paused then asked, "You tell me, then, if you don't know, who else can I ask?"
Suddenly Zhou Zishu glanced back at him, and asked, "Unless there is some other grave going-on background that has even startled the master of the Ghost Valley, who lives deep in obscurity and rarely ventured out?"
Wen Kexing said nothing, just stretched out a finger with a smile, pointed to his lips, looked at Zhou Zishu with great anticipation.
Zhou Zishu pretended not to see anything, pondered for a while, and asked, " if you do find that person, what will you do?"
Wen Kexing said gently and even with a little smile: "Flay him, strip his tendon from him, and subject him to million cuts." Seeing Zhou Zishu looking at him with a complex expression, Wen Kexing laughed again, and said in a manner that made one's fists itch to punch him, "I'm just saying it to scare you."
Zhou Zishu chuckled drily: "Oh, I'm really terrified."
This slippery old fox , Wen Kexing thought.
This bluffing bastard, Zhou Zishu thought.
The two looked at each other with a twisted smile that didn't reflect their real feelings at all, and then continue to hurry on their way to collect those three while they were still breathing.
