Chapter 4162 Like A Block Of Elm Wood
“You don’t even know who the other person is, yet you’re going to take something from him and give it to the Guild Master? If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?” The Steward shouted angrily, looking at the woman who was bowing her head. “Where is the item?”
“It was just a note. And, and I gave him the paper and pen. He just wrote something on it. There was nothing else.” The woman said in a low voice.
“Give it to me,” the Steward said, extending his hand.
The woman hesitated for a moment, biting her lip and shaking her head: “No, the Young Master said it could only be given to the Guild Master.”
“To the Guild Master? Does he know the Guild Master? Do you know what his purpose is in doing this? He casually gave the Guild Master something he didn’t know about. What if something goes wrong?”
“But this is a note, a note with words written on it,” the woman whispered, because she was a relative of the Guild Master, she was not very afraid of the Steward whose face was getting darker by the minute.
“Give it to me!” the Steward shouted again, his anger clearly visible.
“What’s all the ruckus about?”
An old man came out and looked at the two people outside, frowning: “What are you two arguing about?”
“Third Elder, is the Guild Master here?” the woman asked, walking up quickly.
“The Guild Master and several elders are discussing things. What do you want?” the old man asked, his eyes on the woman.
“There is a Young Master outside who asked me to pa.s.s this to the Guild Master,” the woman said, taking out the note.
“Give it to me!” The Elder extended his hand to indicate that she should bring it over, but she took a step back. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and stare at her with a pair of eyes, saying, “What are you doing? It’s just a piece of paper. I’m asking you to bring it to me. Can’t I just take it in for you?”
The woman thought of the handsome young n.o.bleman, of the way he looked at her with a smile on his face, and of how he told her that she could only give the letter to the Guild Master herself, and that she must not peek at it. She clutched the letter in her hand and said, “Well, that young n.o.bleman said that only I could give it to the Guild Master myself.”
She knew she shouldn’t, but for some reason, when she thought of the young man’s smiling eyes, she lost her mind. She just felt that the young man trusted her so much that she should do a good job.
Seeing this, the old man took a deep breath, cursed softly, and said, “You’re so stubborn!” He walked in and saw that she was still standing there, so he immediately said, “Come with me!”
“Yes.” The woman smiled happily and hurriedly followed him in.
The Guild Master was discussing things with several elders inside. When they saw the Third Elder come in with a little lady, they couldn’t help but stare at each other and ask, “What’s going on?”
“Hmph! Let the little lady speak for herself.” The Third Elder snorted, shook his sleeve, took his seat, and took a sip of tea.
“Guild Master, there is a Young Master outside who asked me to give you this note.” The woman smiled happily and handed him the note before standing aside.
On hearing this, the Guild Master was slightly surprised. After looking at the woman, he opened the note and read it. On seeing it, his face changed slightly, and he stood up from his seat.
“Where is that Young Master now?” the Guild Master asked anxiously.
The woman hurriedly said, “The Young Master is waiting outside.”
“Quick, quickly invite him to come in!” He said, and as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong and said, “No need, no need for me, I will go and invite him myself.” As he said this, he was about to walk out, but was stopped by an old man standing next to him.
“Guild Master, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?” The Second Elder hurriedly asked.
