Chapter 608 Half an Hour
Su Hui and Xie Zhuolian are startled by Gao Ge’s abrupt rage.
After a while, Su Hui is still confused while Xie Zhuolian gradually figures out what is going on
“Gao Ge, are you worried that Lord Fire Dragon and the others have executed our plan in advance?”
What a clever girl!
She has figured out Gao Ge’s thought so soon.
Actually, it is understandable. Because Xie Zhuolian can’t think of any reason other than that to make Gao Ge suddenly fly into a rage.
As she sees Gao Ge nod his head, Xie Zhuolian feels a bit unbelievable.
“It shouldn’t be. It is my idea. If they really wanted to carry it out in advance, they should have informed me...” Xie Zhuolian says in a low voice.
Gao Ge snorts and then drives fast on the road.
“If you were not with me, how would I fall for it?”
Xie Zhuolian scratches her hair and feels so puzzled because if Gao Ge is right, it means that the Dragon Court wishes to keep Gao Ge out of this.
But why do they do this?
Of course Xie Zhuolian can’t think it through but Gao Ge can.
He has been suspecting that the matter of Qiu City must have something to do with Meng Jing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t stay in Qiu City and help save lives by now. He has spent so much time and effort here. Apart from saving lives, of course he also hopes to find Meng Jing in Qiu City.
Now the Dragon Court deliberately tries to drive him away.
His doubt has been confirmed!
Fire Dragon and Water Dragon must be sure that this matter has something to do with Meng Jing and they are worried that the plan of the Dragon Court will be disrupted if he finds Meng Jing, so they take this move.
He believes in his judgment.
Gao Ge who is holding the steering wheel dares to swear that if the truth doesn’t turn out to be what he thinks, he can kill himself then!
He is rather confident about his guess.
...
In a rented apartment in the west of the Qiu City, the old woman sits on a wooden bed with her eyes closed, pondering over something.
Meng Jing is sitting on a chair, reading a book in her hand with interest.
She looks rather composed.
The old woman opens her eyes, takes a look at her and nods with satisfaction.
Meng Jing’s reaction is actually out of her expectation.
But this is quite reassuring.
If Meng Jing is still sad with tears now, she will be worried whether Meng Jing will run away and ask Gao Ge for an explanation in desperation.
Gladly, it doesn’t happen.
Meng Jing’s reaction makes the old woman think of that despair is the greatest sorrow.
“Jing, come here and sit next to me.”
Meng Jing turns around and takes a look at the old woman. Then she moves the chair near her and sits down.
“Have you thought it through?” The old woman continues asking.
Meng Jing nods and says with a bitter smile, “You’ve talked so much with me. How can I still be that stubborn?”
The old woman nods her head with satisfaction and says smilingly, “It’s great that you’ve thought it through. After all, you are still young now. Understandably, you make some mistakes. You just need to move on. I’ve always seen you as my birth daughter. Never do I want to see you get hurt, but as to some matters, you still need to experience them on your own. Otherwise, how can you grow?”
“Yes, Granny.” Meng Jing nods her head, stands up and passes a glass of water to the old woman.
The old woman reaches out her hand and fetches the glass from Meng Jing. Having taken a sip of the water, she says with a smile on her face, “As to Gao Ge, nice as he is, he is not that excellent. There are plenty of outstanding disciples in the Ghost Sect. After we go back, I will pick one for you!”
Meng Jing is so contemptuous of this old woman.
historical
It is such a pack of nonsense to pick a man in the Ghost Sect for her...
A hurried pounding on the door interrupts the conversation between the old woman and Meng Jing.
“Go get the door.”
“Okay.”
Meng Jing stands up and goes to open the door. The two disciples of the Ghost Sect walk over hurriedly, but they don’t forget the basic etiquette. They say in a low voice, “Good day, Miss Meng.”
Although Meng Jing joined the sect much later than them, they both know that she is not weak and that she is deeply favored by the old woman. They never dare to show disregard for her in front of the old woman. A fellow disciple had made this kind of mistake and then as a result, he was killed by the old woman.
Moreover, the fellow disciple just died right in front of them, which left a shockingly indelible impression on them.
The two disciples walk to the old woman. One of them says, “Granny, we’ve got some news.”
“Oh yeah?” The old woman asks, “I’ve asked you to keep an eye on the panda. What have you got?”
“Haha, Granny, good news! A team leader of the Dragon Court has gone to the west of Qiu City to save people!”
“The west of Qiu City?” The old woman slightly frowns and asks, “Aren’t we in the west of the city?”
“Yeah, Granny. They are not around but they are not far away,” the disciple of the Ghost Sect continues.
The other disciple also takes the opportunity to say in haste, “Moreover, Granny, before we came back, we had looked into their situation. We didn’t find Fire Dragon and Water Dragon except for several members and a team leader of the Dragon Court...”
The old woman’s eyes glisten, but she is a bit worried, saying, “How do you know Water Dragon and Fire Dragon are not hiding somewhere?”
The two disciples look each other in the eye, chuckle and say, “Rest assured, Granny. We’ve investigated it and found Fire Dragon and Water Dragon are still in that yard. They aren’t coming.”
The old woman lets out a sigh with relief.
“But...”
“What?” The old woman frowns and looks at the disciple biting his lip. Then she snaps, “I thought you two had done a good job and intended to give you some reward. However, you are playing a trick with me now. Do you want to die?”
“I dare not! I just want to say although Fire Dragon and Water Dragon don’t come, Gao Ge is driving here, for he is concerned about the panda. He will arrive in half an hour at most.”
The old woman’s brow furrows.
Meng Jing’s facial expression looks a bit complicated but the old woman doesn’t find anything wrong. If Meng Jing acts normal upon hearing the name of Gao Ge, it will be really strange.
“Half an hour...” The old woman is lost in thinking.
After a while, she suddenly raises her head.
“This is our chance then. We can strive to take the panda away with us within half an hour. If we can’t, we may as well just kill it directly. I won’t allow anyone or anything to hinder my plan in Qiu City!”
“Yes!” The two disciples of the Ghost Sect look somewhat excited. After all, they are the ones who bring the news back.
If the plan really works, they will be greatly rewarded by the old woman.
Although the old woman is eccentric, capricious and volatile, honestly, she is quite generous. Probably it is because she has a lot of good stuff.
