Chapter 300 - 55: Where to Go from Here
The dust settled, and the old servant Gui Sheng’s mouth was agape wide enough to swallow an egg; even the eighteen silver coins he’d secretly stashed in his pocket tumbled out in shock.
This youngster... Could he really be the same Lu Hong who normally did the laundry, cooking, and cleaning? The old housekeeper had thought himself as someone who cultivated his presence and hid his abilities, possessing the demeanor of a master; but he hadn’t expected this guy to be the real master of disguise. Despite being wounded by the Seven Deadly Sins, even if Miss Kaila had helped him extract the corrosive power, it shouldn’t have been possible for him to recover such formidable combat strength in such a short time. This kid must have found a solution long ago and kept a trump card up his sleeve!
Lu Hong strolled back, waved his hand to dispel the divine light oppressing the residents of Raoxue City, and stepped out of the Heavenly God’s descent state.
"Lord Kaif?" Lu Hong said with a smile, "What are your plans now?"
Kaif’s face was deathly pale, "Kill or slash, I am at your mercy! I just feel sorry that a powerful person like you could be bewitched by that demoness Qing Ling."
"That’s bullshit!"
Upon hearing Kaif’s words, the old housekeeper hastily secured his jaw and pointed at him, cursing loudly, "Miss has toiled day and night for the peace and stability of Raoxue City. You heartless things have conspired to rebel. Damn you all, you deserve death!"
Lu Hong patted the old housekeeper’s shoulder, just as the latter had done to him before, "Calm down, this matter should be decided by Miss."
"Hey hey," the old housekeeper frowned, dissatisfied, "What do you mean ’your Miss’? Isn’t she your master? Remember, you were saved by our Miss and by working a day in Raoxue Castle, you are a part of Raoxue Castle for life."
"But that’s not how it works, I never agreed to that," Lu Hong retorted, curling his lip, "You forced that work upon me. I didn’t refuse, but I never agreed either."
