Upon hearing that the recuperation was effective, An Jing felt much more relieved. After exchanging a glance with her husband, she candidly said, "Actually, the main reason we invited you here is not to check my husband’s health, but to discuss the matter of Slayer Tower."
In the room, there were only her, her husband, and him. So words could be spoken freely without any need for concealnt, and there were guards outside the courtyard, so there was no fear of soone eavesdropping.
As Gong Juechen entered the courtyard and noticed there was no one there except An Jing and Xiao Changyi in the room, he knew that An Jing and Xiao Changyi wanted to discuss sothing with him. As for what they wanted to discuss, he had so ideas. Now, An Jing was straightforward about it, and he smiled, the smile lingering in his peach blossom eyes, yet not reaching the depths.
He lazily sat down on a chair beside him, leaning back in it, and lightly swept away the bangs on his forehead. "Slayer Tower? Haha, I really don’t know what Slayer Tower is, you found the wrong person."
"Gong Juechen, can you cooperate a bit?" An Jing was quite helpless. "You’ve exposed so much already, we’re not stupid, we know you’re the Building Master of Slayer Tower."
Gong Juechen remained silent, only smiling charmingly, looking completely different from his usual playful deanor.
An Jing waited for a while and seeing Gong Juechen still not speaking, she then continued, "You weren’t always fond of visiting brothels before? My husband sent soone to investigate Nuan Huan Pavilion. Although no secret room or tunnel was found beneath it, a wall in that Old Mama’s room was discovered to emit a hollow sound when struck, which clearly indicates a secret room inside."
It was ng Zhuqing who personally conducted the investigation. Although he did it secretly without alarming anyone in the brothel, he couldn’t find where the chanism to open the secret room was. Nevertheless, ng Zhuqing was certain that there was definitely a secret room within.
ng Zhuqing, being so loyal, naturally reported everything he found truthfully to Xiao Changyi and An Jing.
Gong Juechen continued to smile charmingly with a hint of eeriness.
An Jing continued, "You’ve exposed so much for my husband and , we are truly grateful to you. But the matter that needs to be resolved still has to be resolved, don’t hate us for bothering you, we’re doing this for your own good."
Gong Juechen remained silent, continuing to smile.
An Jing couldn’t help but sigh before she continued, "Chengyu also knows you’re the Building Master of Slayer Tower, but he no longer fears you, nor will he do anything against you. However, regarding other mbers of Slayer Tower, if you continue letting them do anything for money, even killing the citizens of Xiyun, what will he—the Emperor of Xiyun—do? Then there would be no choice but to oppose you."
Gong Juechen was still smiling, but now his smile carried a coldness.
"He doesn’t want to oppose you. He has agreed with us that as long as you lead Slayer Tower to abandon evil and do good, he can forgive everything Slayer Tower has done in the past."
"Abandon evil and do good?" Gong Juechen finally spoke, but it was a cold laugh. "What is evil? What is good? Haha, my master actually wanted to lead Slayer Tower to abandon evil and do good. For this, my master practiced dicine for years, saving countless lives. But in the end, a wealthy family’s son beca gravely ill and sought my master’s treatnt. My master treated him, but because the son was too ill, he couldn’t be saved. That family claid my master was a quack who killed their son, and brought their protector to beat my master to death. My master, disheartened, took and Se Se to retreat to the mountains."
