C114 The Inside Story

Gui Dehan's face turned pale. Looking at Zhu Ziqiao's sharp eyes and Lin Cheng's cold expression, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

He knew that he had to tell the truth today.

This caused a trace of regret to rise in Gui Dehan's heart. Why did he have to return to Cicheng at this time? Why did he have to meet Zhu Ziqiao after returning?

"You said that you left Cicheng a long time ago. After your Adventurer team was killed by another team, Zhu Ziqiao was only a child!"

Lin Cheng's cold and murderous voice sounded, "Furthermore, Zhu Ziqiao at that time wasn't the young lady of Wen Family. She was the daughter of Brother Zhu you mentioned. She was the young lady of the Zhu family! I would like to ask you to explain to me that since you left Cicheng so early on... How did you recognize Zhu Ziqiao with just a glance, and how did you know that she was the young lady of the Wen Family? "

"I..."

Gui Dehan opened his mouth, but there was nothing he could say.

Lin Cheng coldly snorted and said, "If you have not left Cicheng all these years, then why did you pretend to be pitiful and sell the house to us?!"

Gui Dehan's expression was incomparably awkward, but he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Regarding these questions, can you explain them to us?" Lin Cheng said with a cold smile.

Gui Dehan's face turned green and white. His expression kept changing, but he could not say a word.

Clang!

Zhu Ziqiao suddenly pulled out her long sword and pointed at Gui Dehan. She said coldly, "If you think I am young and insensible at that time, you can lie to me as you wish, then you can try!"

"No, no, no..."

Gui Dehan was shocked. He waved his hand and said, "Miss Xhu, don't misunderstand. I did not lie to you. I just... I had no choice."

Zhu Ziqiao took the opportunity to say, "Then tell me, how did you have no choice?"

Gui Dehan's old face wrinkled and said bitterly, "What bro said is right. I... I did lie, but I was hunted back then. That was why I left Cicheng. However, after a few years, I returned to Cicheng. I wanted to sell my house..."

It turned out that when Gui Dehan was being hunted back then, he fled from Cicheng in a panic. He had left his hometown. However, because he was too addicted to gambling, he quickly fell into dire straits. In the end, he returned to Cicheng when he had no other choice.

It was also at that time that he accidentally found out that Zhu Ziqiao had already become the big miss of Wen Family.

"Then why didn't you say it just now?!" Lin Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"I... I did it because I was afraid."

Gui Dehan's face turned red. He looked embarrassed and bitter at the same time.

Zhu Ziqiao frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? You just know me. Is it that scary?"

Gui Dehan opened his mouth and said, "I..."

"Speak!"

Lin Cheng suddenly shouted and startled Gui Dehan, "I, I don't know. These are the Wen Family..."

In almost an instant, Zhu Ziqiao's eyes turned sharp. "What did you say?!"

Lin Cheng's eyes narrowed. Gui Dehan actually mentioned the Wen Family?

He immediately realized that if what Gui Dehan said was true, then today, they would very likely learn some secrets from Gui Dehan.

Being stared at by Zhu Ziqiao and Lin Cheng in such a fierce manner, Gui Dehan immediately felt a tremendous pressure coming from them. Especially the pressure coming from their bodies, it was as if they were being stared at by their natural enemies. His entire body couldn't help but stiffen, and he almost stopped breathing.

Strong... powerhouse!

Cultivator!

Gui Dehan opened his mouth wide, almost suffocating. He could not help but scream in his heart. It was actually the cultivator!

He never would have thought that he originally only wanted to sell the house to earn some money, but Zhu Ziqiao and this young man were actually cultivator!

How was this possible!

Gui Dehan found it hard to believe. Zhu Ziqiao was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she had already become a cultivator?

He didn't want to believe it, but the terrifying aura coming from the two of them pressed down on him so hard that he couldn't even breathe. This kind of aura, if it wasn't a cultivator, what else could it be?!

Gui Dehan's heart broke out in cold sweat. A cultivator, Zhu Ziqiao was actually a cultivator, I actually... offended a cultivator!

In an instant, Gui Dehan's entire body could not help but tremble. He did not dare to hide anything anymore. Almost instinctively, he cupped his fists with both hands and hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, the two cultivators lords..."

Zhu Ziqiao and Lin Cheng frowned at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and immediately reacted. Because Zhu Ziqiao was agitated, the Yuan energy fluctuations on her body suddenly became stronger, causing Gui Dehan to mistakenly think that they were cultivator.

The two of them looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant. They did not want to expose it for now. Perhaps this would have an unexpected effect.

Therefore, Lin Cheng sneered and said, "Since you know that we are cultivator, you still dare to lie to us?"

"No, no, no. This old man absolutely wouldn't dare to lie to you, Lord cultivator. It's because the Wen Family is too powerful. This old man can't afford to offend them."

Gui Dehan explained repeatedly.

Lin Cheng shouted in a low voice, "Speak more carefully!"

"Yes, yes..."

Gui Dehan was shocked again and did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly said, "Those people who chased after me that day were all Wen Zhongming's men. According to that brother, the one who brought people to kill them that day was also Wen Zhongming!"

"What?!"

Zhu Ziqiao lost her voice. Immediately, the long sword in her hand was placed on Gui Dehan's shoulder. She said in a stern voice, "What did you say?!"

Gui Dehan was so scared that his legs went soft. He fell to his knees with a thud. He shouted involuntarily, "Miss Xhu, spare me. What this old man said is true, it is all true... Although Wen Zhongming hadn't built a family yet, he was already a Chakra Stage warrior. His strength was extremely strong, so he had a group of people following him. He could be considered a major power in Cicheng."

Zhu Ziqiao's pretty face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and asked again, "Then why did he attack my father?!"

"I, I don't know. I didn't follow Big Brother Zhu that day, but according to the brothers who escaped, Wen Zhongming had his eyes on the treasure that Big Brother Zhu and the others found!"

Gui Dehan knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "I didn't see this with my own eyes. However, Wen Zhongming and Brother Zhu have always been at odds with each other. I remember Big Brother Zhu once said that Wen Zhongming was a treacherous man. You can't trust him. Later on, both parties had a few confrontations during their adventures... "

Zhu Ziqiao gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before asking coldly," If you casually say it like this, I will believe you? How can you prove what you said?"

Gui Dehan's body trembled and he hurriedly said, "Miss Xhu, what this old man said is the truth. He would never dare to lie to you. However... Those brothers had all died in the hands of Wen Zhongming and the others. Only this old man was greedy for money. Therefore, this old man doesn't know who else can prove what I said... "

" Then you should know that Wen Zhongming is my foster father. You are slandering him without any proof. Do you think I won't dare to kill you? " Zhu Ziqiao shouted coldly.

"Miss Xhu..."

Gui Dehan was so scared that he shouted, "You must trust me... The reason why I didn't want to say it before was because I was afraid that you would misunderstand... Miss, if I wasn't in a foreign land, I wouldn't be able to live. No matter what, I won't come back! "

Zhu Ziqiao said coldly," It's simply absurd! I will not believe a single word you say! Gui Dehan, how dare you slander my foster father like this? Today, I must kill you. Before I die, what else do you have to say? "

"Miss Xhu..."

Gui Dehan's expression changed drastically and he was about to beg but was interrupted by Zhu Ziqiao before he could finish his words.1

"Speak! Do you have any last words?" Zhu Ziqiao shouted.

Seeing the intense killing intent in Zhu Ziqiao's eyes, the color of blood on Gui Dehan's face instantly faded away, and his face turned deathly pale.

He grinned and let out a miserable laugh. "Hehe... I didn't expect that I, Gui Dehan, have been hiding for so many years. I never thought that I, Wen Zhongming, would die at the hands of Miss Xhu instead of dying at Wen Zhongming's hands. This is really..."

He seemed to suddenly have courage and looked up at Zhu Ziqiao. He begged," Miss Xhu, I know that you might not be able to believe me for a while. But you are already a powerful cultivator. Why can't you ask Wen Zhongming yourself?"

Zhu Ziqiao said coldly, "I will naturally ask Wen Zhongming, but you must die!"

"I know."

Gui Dehan nodded. Perhaps it was because he had lost all hope, but he calmed down instead. He sighed bitterly and said, "In front of you, I am just an ant. You can easily crush me.

I can understand why you don't believe me. After all, after so many years, you suddenly found out that your foster father was your enemy. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it either. Between me and Wen Zhongming, you will definitely choose to believe in Wen Zhongming... "

He looked up at Zhu Ziqiao and took a deep breath. He seemed to have gathered his courage and said through gritted teeth, "The reason why I did not dare to tell you the truth before was because of this. Originally, I only wanted to live because I knew that I didn't have the ability to take revenge for Big Brother Zhu."

After a pause, he continued, "Especially when I secretly returned to Cicheng several times, I found out that you, Miss Xhu, have already become the young miss of Wen Family. I knew how scary Wen Zhongming was, so I could only escape..."

Zhu Ziqiao stared at him coldly without saying anything.

Gui Dehan shook his head with a bitter smile. "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being too addicted to gambling. If it was not because of gambling, I would owe someone a huge debt. I wouldn't have been so desperate. In the end, I thought of going back to Cicheng to sell my house. I wouldn't be able to meet Miss Xhu... If that is the case, at least I can live on for a few more years... Miss Xhu, if you want to kill me, then do it! "
