Chapter 2151: You Know Where the Tomb Is?
Ning Shu originally thought that she would have to do a lot of convincing and she didn’t expect Gu Rui to immediately agree with her going.
It felt like she’d boldly rushed over and unleashed her full power only to hit soft cotton.
Mo Juechen was right. Gu Rui’s thoughts were unfathomable.
As he sat gracefully to write, he resembled a famous and talented scholar from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Ning Shu was wary of Gu Rui.
His resentment was as deep and thick as a sea of blood, but he showed no bitterness or hatred. Instead, he maintained an indifferent immortal-like look. Perhaps his heart had already become completely twisted.
“What’s the matter, you don’t want to go?” Gu Rui glanced at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu smiled. “No, I’ll go, of course I’ll go.”
“You should think about it some more. It will be dangerous.”
“You know where the tomb is?”
“I know a little bit. After all, I was once the Jia Kingdom’s prince,” Gu Rui said lightly.
Ning Shu looked at Gu Rui. “You are going to restore your country.”
“If I can, I will restore my country. If I can’t, I’ll just let nature take its course.” Gu Rui picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing again.
He was so indifferent, it truly seemed like he didn’t care.
Just as it didn’t matter to him that he had been taking advantage of Xi Tao’s feelings.
However, the fact that he used even a woman’s love to achieve his goals showed he was not as indifferent to his goals as he seemed.
He just put on the appearance of an immortal who moved over the world, moving gracefully on the wind.
“Fine, whatever you say. Just don’t end up running away in the end.” Ning Shu stood up and stared at Gu Rui. “Did my father’s death have anything to do with you?”
“The death of my adoptive father had nothing to do with me, nothing at all. The death of my adoptive father really was caused by the plague,” Gu Rui said bluntly.
“I hope that’s true. If my father’s death had something to do with you, I won’t let you off,” Ning Shu said with a gloomy face.
Gu Rui asked indifferently, “In your heart, am I such a person?”
“Yes.” Ning Shu stared at Gu Rui. “I don’t trust you.”
“I don’t care if you trust me or not.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Gu Rui meant he didn’t care about her opinions and emotions at all.
In Gu Rui’s eyes, she was nothing.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes and turned away. When she went out, she met Mo Juechen dressed head to toe in snow white clothing.
Ning Shu pushed Mo Juechen aside. With a stupefied expression, Mo Juechen was pushed two steps back. “Damn fatty, I’ll chop off your dirty hands.”
“Ugly bastard, come and chop them then.” Ning Shu shook her hands.
As soon as Ning Shu turned around, her expression turned cold.
When Ning Shu returned to her room, Xi Tao was setting out lunch. When she saw Ning Shu, she cautiously lowered her head and shouted, “Miss.”
Ning Shu nodded and sat down.
“Miss.” Xi Tao’s voice sounded very upset.
Ning Shu looked at Xi Tao. “Xi Tao, if you really like Li Jiuge, I can send you to him.”
“I never intended to betray Miss,” Xi Tao said as she wiped away her tears.
Ning Shu took a sip of soup. “Didn’t you listen to Gu Rui’s instructions and monitored me, then gave the parchment from my pouch to him?”
“This servant… this servant really didn’t intend to hurt Miss.”
“Enough, you can go. I’m going to eat.” Ning Shu waved her hand.
“Miss…”
“Enough. Xi Tao, you have to think carefully before you act. Do you think Gu Rui can really enable you and Li Jiuge to be together?”
“Li Jiuge will return to the Rong Kingdom sooner or later and the gap between you two will only grow bigger and bigger,” Ning Shu said lightly.
“This servant knows there is only a faint glimmer of hope, but this servant is still willing to try,” Xi Tao said tearily.
