Chapter 1830 “Rush Back to the Monarch Manor (3)”
When the foreign enemy attacked, all the people sent to watch over the Gu estate were transferred over, thus allowing herself to sneak out. In a way, she succeeded in her plan. However, she could not find Gu Lao though before departing. Out of fear for her trusted attendant’s safety, Gu Ya reluctantly came to the Monarch Manor to seek the old man.
But why… why is this happening?
Haven’t all the enemies who came to attack in the past not been blocked by the elders?
She thought that when Elder Sky returned from the ruins the situation would dissolve on its own, but that’s not happening! Some of the elders are dead in front of her already!No!
This is not what I wanted!
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone, I only wanted to confirm Heavenly’s safety, that’s why I wanted to go find him….
“Did you reveal the monarch’s absence?” A light voice from the side then that caught the guilty woman off guard. In a flash, Gu Ya’s complexion became a ghostly white as she hurried to check who’s speaking.
“Is it you?” The young girl asked again with those unfriendly eyes.
“Miss Ji Song, please don’t talk such nonsense at a time like this.” Gu Ya’s face barely made a change when she smiled in retort, “How can I sell out the monarch?”
Gu Ya understood full well the consequences of admitting, that’s why she must never tell the truth.Ji Song did not smile or frown, only staring deeply like she could gaze into the darkest secret of this woman. “If you did it, the monarch and my grandfather will not let you go for this.”
Despite the voice not being intimidating or threatening, those words alone were enough to make Gu Ya freeze up. Out of reflex, she began to sweat as a gulp took hold in the throat. “Miss Ji Song is too funny, I would never go behind the Monarch Manor to do such a thing….”
Ji Song didn’t buy it one bit and continued to glare at her: “You know better than anyone if you could do such a thing or not.”
Gu Ya wanted to refute such an accusation right there and then. Unfortunately, her voice disappeared as she opened that mouth to deny because those dead bodies had come into her sight once again.
With the monarch’s influence…. He’s bound to discover the truth that I did it. If there wasn’t any casualty then it’s one thing, but even some of the elders are dead. He won’t let me go for this even if I didn’t mean to do it.
“Miss Ji Song, I’m only here to look for Gu Lao. Have you seen him?” Gu Ya presses down her inner panic and barely managed to smile as she asked.
Ji Song didn’t give a reply to that right away, instead, she slowly looked upwards at the invaders: “Probably dead by now…. Elder Six and Elder Seven is already dead at the hands of these evil men, he should be no different.”
Her little heart has been set on Gu Ya being the perpetrator of instigating this invasion so her mood wasn’t very up. What’s more, she could see the flash of panic when she called out the woman. She may not be intelligent and sharp like her elders, but she’s not oblivious to those who lie.
Gu Ya’s figure appeared very stiff after that comment. Pulling her lips into a frown: “In that case, I will go look for him elsewhere.”
This matter was done at her own decision while concealing it from Gu Lao, that’s why she must locate her attendant to discuss the issue because only he could protect herself.
