Chapter 685 Regain the Advantage
In the pavilion, Xie Jue and the others are all embarrassed.
Xie Fangyou’s arrival is out of their control and expectation.
Even if the master of the Xie Family is Xie Jue, he doesn’t dare to act recklessly before Xie Fangyou. They are all receiving the tongue-lashing with their heads lowered.
“Grandpa, why did you lie to me?” Xie Zhuolian asks with tears in her eyes. The truth is a bit too brutal for her to accept.
“Ahem. Zhuolian, actually, we want to do nothing but to get Gao Ge to join us through you,” Xie Jue says with a bitter smile.
“…”
Xie Zhuolian is a smart girl. She quickly thinks of something soon and then says open-mouthed, “Were it you who deliberately spread the news?”
Seeing Xie Jue’s guilty eyes, Xie Zhuolian only feels dizzy, staggers and almost falls.
Xie Fangyou reaches out his hand to hold her and then glares at Xie Jue and the others.
“How old are you? You are several hundred years old in total. How can you lie to a little girl? Do you have a great sense of achievement?” Xie Fangyou snaps.
Xie Jue says resignedly, “Dad, can you stay out of this?”
“Stay out of this? So I just stand aside and watch you deceive her?” Xie Fangyou widens his eyes. “Are you saying that I’m wrong?”
“No…” Xie Jue hastens to shake his head.
He is 75 years old now but if he pisses off his father, Xie Fangyou will still come forward and hit him with the stick.
“Dad, Gao Ge is a good talent and I’ve learned that his aura can save lives and cure injuries. Earth Dragon once lost an arm and then Gao Ge helped regrow his arm with his aura…” Xie Zhen says in a low voice.
“Helped him regrow the lost arm?” Xie Fangyou is astonished. “It’s so unbelievable!”
“How dare I lie to you?” Xie Zhen hastens to say.
Xie Fangyou frowns and presses his hands on the stick.
“In this case, if Gao Ge joins our family, it won’t be a bad thing indeed…”
“Great-grandpa!” Xie Zhuolian becomes anxious.
Xie Fangyou laughs and says, “Of course, our family never forces others to do anything. Here is the deal. Zhuolian, bring a few people to find Gao Ge and tell him that as long as he is willing to join the Xie Family, he can put forward whatever conditions he wants. As long as his conditions are reasonable, we can agree anyway.”
“What if he is unwilling to?” Xie Zhuolian asks in a low voice.
“If he is unwilling to, I will go to the Poison Sect and deal with this matter,” Xie Fangyou says calmly.
“Dad, you can’t!”
“Great-grandpa…”
“Dad, you shouldn’t!”
Xie Fangyou waves his hand.
“Gao Ge acquired the Book of Poison and gave it to our family, which is a great favor for us. What you did is pardonable but it is still heartless and immoral. If Gao Ge dies, our family will be gravely sinful. Someone must stand up and shoulder the responsibility. I, Xie Fangyou, am 120 years old now. It may be inappropriate for you to do that but not for me. That’s final for this matter. No need for further discussion.”
After saying that, Xie Fangyou turns around and leaves.
There is a rush of yowling behind him and he just turns a deaf ear to that.
Xie Fangyou came here quietly. When he leaves, he is also rather decisive.
All the people present know it is impossible to make Xie Fangyou change his mind so they can only gaze at Xie Zhuolian.
“Zhuolian, it is an important matter. We can only count on you,” Xie Jue sighs and says.
Xie Zhuolian has been dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, the situation has become like this.
“Yeah, Zhuolian, you must find a way to rope in Gao Ge to join us. If you can’t, you can invite him to our family and we will talk him over to our side!” Xie Zhen also hastens to shout.
Xie Zhuolian heaves a sigh. “Grandpa, I can only try my best but I can’t be sure of the result.”
Xie Jue also understands Xie Zhuolian’s predicament so he can only nod his head. “You just do your best. If you also cannot persuade him, I must go to meet him by myself if necessary.”
Xie Jue can’t remember when he got out of the blessed spot the last time.
Generally, even if there is anything he needs to go out and deal with, he can ask someone else to do it.
As the master of the Xie Family, Xie Jue mustn’t run about.
By now, he doesn’t have other choices.
Now, he has a feeling that he has made a wrong move.
No one expected this old man would be so decisive.
To give the Poison Sect an explanation?
In other words, Xie Fangyou will exchange his life for Gao Ge’s?
Xie Jue can never agree to such a thing!
“Okay. Xie Zhuolian, this time, let your Uncle Lu escort you there. He is also a cultivator at the realm of Master, who can protect your safety.”
“Yes…”
…
At the moment.
Gao Ge has no idea that his matter has caused uproar in the Xie Family.
Now, he is still searching for the Ghost Sect by all means.
It has been more than ten days since he arrived in Shan City. However, these days he has harvested nothing. Hence, he has to suspect whether his thoughts have gone wrong.
Does the base of the Ghost Sect really have anything to do with Shan City?
Did he find the wrong place?
On second thought, Gao Ge shakes his head.
It is not very likely.
Both Yue Tuzhi and the Shadow School mentioned Shan City to him.
Even if Shan City is not the base of the Ghost Sect, it should be pretty close.
He is wondering whether the Dragon Court has got any information.
However, on the 11th day, Gao Ge acquires a piece of news surprisingly.
According to Susu, Li Lang appears in Shan City.
Gao Ge is overjoyed at the news.
Even if he cannot find the base of the Ghost sect from Li Lang, it will be a great relief to kill the latter.
After all, if Li Lang returns to Shan City alive, he may cause trouble for Gao Ge.
Perhaps, Meng Jing will encounter danger.
Gao Ge can never let it happen.
“Mr. Gao, do you need me to go with you?” Susu asks.
Gao Ge thinks about it and still shakes his head.
He looks at the note given by Susu. It says an address, which is a small county near Shan City. It is only an hour and a half’s drive from here.
“I can handle this alone.” Now Li Lang has been somewhat capable. Even if he is no match for Gao Ge, Gao Ge is still worried that he may have got other moves to cause trouble for Susu. Hence, he had better do it alone.
As Gao Ge is determined, Susu doesn’t insist on going with him. Instead, she only asks Gao Ge to be careful.
The moment Gao Ge leaves the hotel, in another room, Song Yang lying in the chair picks up the phone nearby.
“Eldest Young Master, Gao Ge has left!”
Song Yang is beaming with a smile. After hanging up the phone, he adjusts his hair and bursts out laughing.
Such a feeling of regaining the advantage makes him feel so delighted beyond words.
