Gui Dehan's face paled as he looked at the fierce gaze of Zhu Zi and the ice-cold expression of Lin City. He could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty.
He knew that he had to tell the truth today.
Gui Dehan couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret. Why did he have to return to Ci City at this time? And upon his return, he happened to run into Zhu Ziquan …
"You said that you left Ci City very early on. It was after your adventurer team was attacked and killed by another team. At that time, Zhu Ziquan was still just a child!"
Lin Cheng's ice-cold voice that carried a trace of killing intent rang out, "Moreover, that Zhu Ziyang was not the Wen Family's eldest miss, but the daughter of the Big Brother Zhu you spoke of, the Bamboo Family's Miss! I want you to explain to me, since you left Ci City so early, how did you recognize Bamboo Gou at a glance, and how did you know she was the Wen family's eldest miss?!! "
"I …"
Guillermo opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Lin Cheng coldly snorted, then said, "If you haven't left Ci City all these years, then why did you pretend to be pitiful and sell your courtyard house to us?!"
Guillermo looked extremely embarrassed, but he hesitated to speak.
"Can you explain these questions?" Lin Cheng sneered.
Gui Dehan's face alternated between green and white, and his expression fluctuated constantly. However, he was unable to say a single word.
Clang!
Bamboo Fork suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at Gui Dehan, saying coldly, "If you think that I was young and didn't understand, you can just lie to me and give it a try!"
"No, no, no …"
Gui Dehan jumped in fright and quickly waved his hands, "Miss Zhu, please do not misunderstand. I am not lying to you, I am just … I just had to. "
Zhu Zifu took advantage of her face and said, "Then tell me, how did you end up being forced to do this!"
Gui Dehan wrinkled his old face and bitterly said, "This young man is right. I …" "I did lie. However, I was indeed hunted down back then, which is why I left Ci City. However, I returned to Ci City a few years later. I merely wanted to sell my house …"
It turned out that when Gui Dehan was being hunted down that year, he fled from Ci City in panic, fleeing far away from his hometown. However, because he was too addicted to gambling, he soon fell into despair. In the end, under desperate circumstances, he returned to Ci City.
It was also at that time that he unintentionally found out that Zhu Ziquan had become the Wen family's eldest miss.
"Then why didn't you say that earlier?!" Lin Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"I... I was scared. "
Gui Dehan's face flushed red, appearing somewhat embarrassed but also somewhat bitter.
Bamboo Shoot frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? It's just that you know me, is it really that scary? "
Gui Dehan gaped, "I …"
"Speak!"
Lin Cheng suddenly let out an explosive shout, scaring Gui Dehan into a jump. "I, I don't know, these are all the Wen Family …"
In almost an instant, the light in Bamboo Bend's eyes became extremely sharp. "What did you say?!"
Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed. Gui Dehan mentioned the Wen family?
He immediately realized that if what he said was true, then today they would most likely learn some of the secrets of the past from him.
Being stared at so fiercely by Zhu Ziguo and Lin Cheng, Gui Dehan instantly felt a huge pressure gush towards him, especially the aura coming off of their bodies. It was as if they were being stared at by their natural enemies, and his entire body involuntarily went stiff, even causing him to stop breathing.
Strong... Powerful warrior!
Cultivator!
Gui Dehan's mouth was agape, almost suffocating. He could not help but scream in fear. It turned out to be a cultivator!
No matter what, he would never have imagined that the original plan was to sell the house and earn some money. Yet, Zhu Ziquan and this young man were actually cultivators!
How was this possible!
Gui Dehan found it hard to believe. Zhu Ziquan was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had already become a cultivator?
He didn't want to believe it, but the terrifying aura coming from the two of them pressured him to the point that he couldn't even breathe. This aura, if it wasn't a cultivator, then what was it?!
Gui Dehan's heart was drenched in cold sweat. Cultivators and Zhu Ziyang were actually both cultivators, but I actually … He had offended a cultivator!
In that instant, Gui Dehan could not help but tremble. He no longer dared to hide anything. Instinctively, he clasped his hands together and bowed, "Greetings, greetings to the two great cultivators …"
Zhu Ziyang and Lin Cheng frowned at the same time. They looked at each other and immediately reacted, because due to Zhu Ziyang's emotional state, the elemental energy fluctuations emanating from her body became more intense, causing Gui Dehan to mistakenly believe that they were cultivators.
Their gazes met and they immediately understood each other's intentions. For now, they wouldn't expose each other. Perhaps this could have an unexpected effect.
Thus, Lin Cheng coldly laughed and said, "Since you know that we are cultivators, how dare you deceive us?"
"No, no, no. I would never dare to lie to the two great cultivators. It is simply because the Wen family is too powerful, and I cannot afford to offend them."
Gui Dehan explained again and again.
Lin Cheng shouted in a low voice, "Speak carefully!"
"Yes, yes …"
Gui Dehan was shocked again, and did not dare to hesitate as he hurriedly said, "Those people who were chasing me that day were all well-read people. According to that brother, the person who led people to kill them that day was also Wen Zhongming!"
"What?!"
Zhu Zi broke the silence. She then placed her sword on Gui Dehan's shoulder and asked sternly, "What did you say?!"
Gui Dehan was so frightened that both his legs went limp. He kneeled to the ground and cried out involuntarily, "Spare me, Miss Zhu. What I said is true …" At that time, even though Wen Zhongming had yet to establish his clan, he was already an expert of the Arterial Circulation Realm and was extremely powerful. Therefore, he had a group of men under his command, which is not a small force in Ci City. "
Zhuzi's pretty face turned white, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then why did he kill my father again?!"
"I, I don't know ah, I didn't follow Brother Zhu on the operation that day, but according to the brother who escaped back, Wen Zhongming had his eyes on the treasure that Brother Zhu and the others found!"
Gui Dehan kneeled on the ground, trembling as he said, "I have never seen this with my own eyes, but Wen Zhongming and Brother Zhu usually do not fight each other. I remember that Brother Zhu once said that Wen Zhongming was treacherous and should not be crossed over. "In the end, both parties had fought each other many times during their adventures …"
Bamboo Teeth clenched her teeth and took a deep breath. Then, she asked coldly, "Do you think I will believe you just because you said that? How do you prove what you said? "
Gui Dehan trembled and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhu, everything that I have said is the truth and I absolutely do not dare to lie to you. However, those brothers of mine from that year have all died in the hands of Wen Zhongming and his men, and only I escaped this calamity due to my greed for gambling. I don't know who else can prove what I have said …"
"Then you should know that Wen Zhongming is my foster father. Do you think that I wouldn't dare to kill you by slandering him with your empty words?!" Zhu Zifu shouted coldly.
"Miss Zhu …"
"You have to believe me..." The reason why I wasn't willing to tell you before was because I was afraid that you would misunderstand … "Young miss, if I had not lived in this foreign land, I would not have come back!"
Bamboo shoot coldly said, "This is simply absurd! I won't believe a word you say! "Gui Dehan, how dare you slander my foster father in such a manner. I will definitely kill you today. Do you have anything else to say before you die?"
"Miss Zhu …"
Gui Dehan's facial expression changed drastically. He was about to plead hastily, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhu Zifu.
"Speak!" Do you have any last words! " Zhu Zi yelled.
Seeing the killing intent in Bamboo Shoot's eyes, Gui Dehan's face instantly lost all color, and his face became deathly pale.
He grinned and let out a bitter laugh, "Heh, heh …" "Unexpectedly, I, Gui Dehan, have been hiding here and there for so many years. In the end, I didn't die at the hands of Wen Zhongming, but I died at the hands of Miss Zhu instead. This is truly …"
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Ziyang, begging her, "Miss Zhu, I know that you may find it hard to believe me, but you are already a powerful cultivator, so why don't you personally ask Wen Zhongming?"
Zhu Ziyang said coldly, "I will naturally ask about Wen Zhongming, but you must die!"
"I know."
Gui Dehan nodded. Perhaps because he was already completely in despair, he calmed down and sighed bitterly, "In front of you, I am but an ant. You can easily crush me to death.
If you don't believe me, I can understand why, because after all these years have passed, you suddenly realized that your foster father is actually your enemy. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to accept it, and between Wen Zhongming and I, you would have definitely chosen to believe Wen Zhongming … "
He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Ziyang, then took a deep breath as if gathering his courage. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The reason why I didn't dare to tell you the truth before is also because of this. Originally, I only wanted to survive because I knew I didn't have the ability to avenge Big Brother Zhu."
Pausing, he continued, "Especially when I sneaked back to Tzu Cheng several times and found out that you've already become the Wen family's eldest daughter. I knew how scary Wen Zhongming was, so I could only run away …"
Zhu Ziyang glared coldly at him and did not speak a word.
"If I had to blame myself, I can only blame myself for being too addicted to gambling. If it wasn't for the fact that I owed others a large amount of gambling debts, I wouldn't be in such a desperate situation. In the end, I thought of returning to Ci City to sell my house. That way, at least I could live for a few more years … young miss Zhu, if you want to kill him, then do it! "
