Although Gu s.h.i.+ had killed quite a lot of people, those people deserved to die. He had never harmed anybody for no reason.
However, no one knew about that.
He had been the manor master for ten years now. That woman had never left the cell and was clinging to it stubbornly. If the others got to know about this, they might think that Gu s.h.i.+ was the one who had captured her.
“I’ll tell you the truth now. This Southern Ocean is only an ocean. But, it’s quite peaceful because of the use of formation to suppress it. But, I felt a strong wave there. Usually, it would never happen there.”
Gu s.h.i.+ sighed helplessly when he realized that the woman still refused to talk. “Only spiritual qi could have that kind of power. But, things that are created by spiritual qi usually have neither intelligence nor conscience. They do whatever they want. They even have great power. If they choose to drown Tian Shen Manor or create trouble here, how are you going to run away given that you’re quite weak? Surely, others can run away easily. It’s not possible if you expect us to protect you.”
Gu s.h.i.+ admitted that he was not a kind person. He had no relation with that woman. But, that woman refused to leave. She was also eating a lot of their food. He would be crazy to protect her and abandon his own benefits.
‘Born of spiritual qi?’
The girl’s eyelids fluttered. But, she did not give any response.
It seemed as if she had not heard anything.
Gu s.h.i.+ spoke, angrily, “Don’t think that I’m threatening you. I heard a dragon’s roar just now. It must be a dragon born of spiritual qi.”
There were numerous formations on the surface of the Southern Ocean.
Their functions were more than simply being there on the island.
The formations on the surface of the Southern Ocean were just like the spies of Tian Shen Manor. So, that was the reason why Gu s.h.i.+ could receive the news of the plight in such a short time.
A creature born of spiritual qi would surely surprise the entire Tian Shen Manor. Those people who did not fear death would surely go ahead and fight the creature. Gu s.h.i.+ had actually planned not to reveal the truth because he wanted to prevent any fight in the chief manor.
But, he wanted to send the woman away badly. He had been thinking about that for ten years now. He would do anything as long as he could send her away.
The girl raised her head all of a sudden.
What kind of eyes did she have?
She was ugly but her eyes were rather bright. Her eyes were even brighter than the stars at night.
But soon, she calmed down. She maintained her silence just like a mute.
“Forget about it.” Gu s.h.i.+ sighed, helplessly, in the end. “Just try and consider whether you want to leave or not. If you’re afraid that someone out there will harm you, I have another manor somewhere else. I can arrange for you to live there. I cab even order somebody to protect you and ask someone to heal your injuries. That’s right. I know a girl. She’s able to brew spirits herbal dishes. She might be able to help you…”
The previous manor master was a villain. It seemed unlikely that the woman he kept in this cell was a villain too.
Gu s.h.i.+ pitied her and wanted to give her a hand.
But, he could not allow her to stay in captivity any longer. If not, his reputation would be ruined.
It was impossible for her to remain in the chief manor too.
If he was misunderstood, how could he explain himself to his deceased wife?
Why did Gu s.h.i.+ reveal Feng Ruqing’s true abilities?
‘Hmm… Why do I have to keep that a secret?’
Tian Shen Manor, Deities Gate, and the Divine Herbs Sect had their own territories in the mainland.
He was even the manor master of Tian Shen Manor.
Who would dare to harm Feng Ruqing if Tian Shen Manor chose to protect her?
That was true strength and power!
If they owned true and strong power, they did not have to hide anymore. They could even do whatever they have wanted to do without anyone trying to stop them!
