Chapter 654 - 141: Dreams of the Ancient Past (33)
After a full half month, the Turtle Clan finally got the money from the Leopard Clan and ransomed Gui He.
During this half-month, Gui He had not seen Shi Chong’an again.
"Gui He! Your Turtle Clan has already paid the compensation amount, you can leave now." The Judgment Officer opened the door to Shi Chong’an’s study and led him out of the great doors of the judgment hall.
"Second Uncle!" The one to receive Gui He was still Turtle Second Uncle, and accompanying him was another elder of the Turtle Clan, ranked fifth among the clan elders, known as Turtle Lao Wu.
Turtle Lao Wu was quite unfamiliar to Gui He; aside from the annual year-end sacrifice ceremony, Turtle Lao Wu had never seen him.
"Fifth Master."
After receiving a response from Turtle Second Uncle, Gui He respectfully bowed to Turtle Lao Wu.
"No need for formalities, you’re now a hero of our Turtle Clan, this old man cannot withstand such a bow."
"Haha, you jest, Fifth Master. You’re a Clan Elder of our Turtle Clan; even the Clan Leader, upon seeing you, must respectfully address you as Fifth Master," Turtle Second Uncle appropriately delivered a bit of flattery.
Turtle Lao Wu clearly enjoyed this, and with a slight smile, he said, "All right, all right, stop buttering me up, let’s go. We shouldn’t linger in front of the Judgment Hall; it’s best to visit this place as little as possible."
Just as they were about to leave, an imposing figure blocked the three of them.
