Chapter 57: Weakness
Lingwu sent me back to the room, and Ginkgo was about to be sent to the slave building, I put Ginkgo's money bag back into her arms, looked at her pale face, and waved at Lingwu.
Lingwu fluttered his big wings and flew away with the ginkgo, and I sat on the wooden chair a little distracted, thinking about what Long Xuanling said in my mind.
Ginkgo wasn't heartbroken by the demon, so the person who killed her must be in this Deepavali Pavilion.
I thought about pressing my temples, and I felt very tired in my heart, is it really as Long Xuanling said, people are not as good as demons?
"Bang bang, Anzhi, are you asleep?"
I was sitting on the edge of the wooden table in a distraction, and there was a knock on the door, and as soon as I heard Gu Shaoting's voice, I immediately got up and closed the window.
"Nope." I answered, opened the door, and Gu Shaoting stood outside the door, his eyes bloodshot.
"Are you alright?" When I saw him like this, I hurriedly invited him into the room to sit.
After he sat down, he lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "An Zhi, in the past few days, the Demon Slayer Pavilion has been strictly guarded, but the demon has not been caught, do you know why?" ”
"Because?" I looked at Shaoting's expression, he might already know something.
"It's not a demon at all, the person was killed by the third senior brother, and he is practicing evil arts." Gu Shaoting paused after speaking: "What is the difference between being mad to such an extent and those demons?" ”
"Third Senior Brother?" I thought about it, the other thin man I saw on the mountain before seemed to be Gu Shaoting's third senior brother named Mu Lin, who looked much kinder than Yu Chi, but he didn't expect to do such a cruel thing.
When Gu Shaoting said this, he closed his eyes tiredly.
"Shaoting, I want to go back to Pingcheng with my uncle first." I know he's very tired at the moment, but he still has to say what needs to be said.
"Why?" Gu Shaoting's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at me directly: "Is it not good to serve vanilla?" I'll change another maid to serve you. ”
"No, it's my uncle who knows what happened in the Deepavali Pavilion in the past two days, and he thinks it's too dangerous here, so he wants to take me back with him, and besides, we've been out for a while, and my sister is still in Pingcheng, so I can't rest assured." I was extremely careful with my wording, for fear that I would misunderstand Gu Shaoting by saying something wrong, that the vanilla was not taken care of.
Gu Shaoting was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I'll send you back for a few days, if you don't want to come back at that time, I can't force it." ”
"Thank you for taking such good care of me and my uncle during this time." I found that I really had nothing to repay Gu Shaoting except to say thank you.
"You don't have to thank me, I helped you because I owe her." Gu Shaoting said, his eyes revealed an indescribable sadness.
I knew he was talking about the friend who looked like me.
"I'm not her, you're good to me, don't you compensate her, and?" Before I finished my words, Gu Shaoting nodded.
He looked at me, his eyes slightly red: "At least, I can feel more comfortable, so you don't need to be burdened, I am the one who should say thank you." ”
"Your friend, exactly?" I wanted to ask about that girl, but when I saw Gu Shaoting's eyes with tears, I swallowed back what I wanted to ask.
Gu Shaoting didn't have the heart to talk to me about her, so he quickly got up and walked out of my room, and asked me to rest early before leaving.
I looked at his lonely back, and thought in my heart, that girl must be very important to Gu Shaoting, otherwise, he would not have red eyes when he mentioned it, he is such a cold and strong man in front of outsiders, and he can't restrain himself from revealing his fragile side, that girl should be his weakness.
