372: Mo Yang and Gang 11

Mo Yang and Gang 11

Qi Qingyao picked up the three dice back into her hands and said, "You should fulfill your promise, old man." 1

"Alright, I'll help you look for your daughter first." Gongsun She was not worried either—he already knew who the girl was anyway. 

Gu Shanshan was once again stunned by Qi Qingyao's display. She did not even know how she should show her admiration anymore.

She just thought that she was really awesome! 

She said quickly, "My goddaughter must be in Uncle Pang's hands! But we don't know where Pang Juan is." 

"Pang Juan, the one from Daliang City?" No wonder he felt the aura of the grand master in Qingzhou City to be a little familiar. It just did not cross his mind that it was him. Gongsun She was very relaxed as he said, "Let's go, then." 

Qi Qingyao ascertained that this old man was trustworthy and let her guard down significantly. She and Gu Shanshan then walked hand in hand out of the temple. The old man followed behind them indifferently. 

Gongsun She watched the back of the little lady's head as he followed them step by step. "Little lady, can I stay in your house for a few days after I save your daughter?" he asked. 

"There's no space in my house for you to stay," she rejected without even turning around. 

Gongsun She was not about to let it go. "I've heard it all, your home is large and there are many rooms. What's the problem with letting this old man stay in your home for a few days?" 

Qi Qingyao replied with a clear look in her eyes, "We'll talk about this once you save my daughter." 

Gongsun She pressed, "In that case, promise me that you will let me live in your house after I rescue your daughter."

Qi Qingyao glanced at the old man lazily. "This is the outcome. You bet, so you pay. But you, a grand master, are still being unreasonable. Really, what an eye-opener."

Gongsun She was not angered even after he had been called out. He smiled as friendly as before. "I'll pay you, let me stay at your place." 

Qi Qingyao muttered, "You're touched in the head." 

Gu Shanshan heard Qi Qingyao calling the grand master mad and was so nervous her back was almost completely wet. She whispered into Qi Qingyao's ear, "Why don't you just agree with him? He's a grand master. The State Preceptor and Head Grand Secretariat would not be able to plot against you at all as long as he's with you." It was a trump card for her! 

Qi Qingyao looked at her weirdly and said, "Agree to what? He's saying all that now just to get a free stay. Then, he'll sit and wait for Si Jin to appear and catch him in one fell swoop."

Gu Shanshan thought for a bit and agreed with the reasoning. 

Gongsun She did not think that the little lady would have thought about that and was a little embarrassed, saying, "I did indeed have that intention." 

"You heard that, Shanshan?" Qi Qingyao sneered. 

Gongsun She raised his brows and said, "To tell you the truth, I want to meet the young master, so that we can learn from each other." 

Qi Qingyao cut in, "While seeing if I, a fated person, could help you reach enlightenment. If you're able to reach enlightenment, then you'd rise in rank and be able to kill Si Jin."

"..." 

For a moment, Gongsun She actually did not know what to say. 

That was because he had… indeed been thinking along those lines. 

However, death or injury was inevitable in an exchange between cultivators. 

After the group left, Gu Cheng saw the old man walking behind the two little ladies and hurriedly went up and asked, "Why is there an old man behind you two?" 

Unable to help herself, Gu Shanshan threw herself into Gu Cheng's arms. "Brother, help!!" 

"I'm here." Gu Cheng embraced Gu Shanshan and, with some compassion, pulled Qi Qingyao over as well. 

Gu Shanshan laid in her brother's arms and instantly felt so much safer. Although the grand master was powerful, she still felt reassured inside and said to Gu Cheng in a soft voice, "He is the old man of Cangjing Lake, his name is Gongsun She." 

"..."
