Chapter 153 - 152: Licked Again
But he knew that Jin Zijin had arrived.
Tears streaked the old man’s face, and his lips trembled as he said, "Zijin, although I don’t know why you came here or how you figured out Youyou’s illness, I know you’re no ordinary person. You told me not to ask, and I haven’t. As long as Youyou is well, I’ll listen to anything you say. But this time Youyou has been taken by that wild man, and I hope you can tell me the truth. Is that wild man you spoke of related to you?"
Jin Zijin’s resolute face always bore an inch of stubble, his skin color no different from the local farmers, making him appear like any ordinary hunter.
Yet it was those eyes, the deep color within them, that contrasted starkly with his simple and unpretentious appearance. It was as if his eyes held an expansive sea of stars, concealing secrets unknown to anyone else.
Gu Feng could not see his face clearly, but he could distinctly feel the unique light emanating from those extraordinary eyes. He tightened inside, not asking about his own matters, for his duty was to rescue Gu Youyou. That was the agreement they had made initially.
Gu Feng knew his question was overstepping, and it might displease Jin Zijin, yet he still longed for an answer!
"Yes!" After a long while, a faint word finally echoed in the room from Jin Zijin.
"Then..." Hearing Jin Zijin’s affirmative answer, Gu Feng’s expression became agitated.
"What about Youyou? You promised me, you would keep Youyou safe."
"Yes, I promised you!" Jin Zijin turned his head slightly, looking out the window. There, a black-haired head seemed to sense something and quickly darted aside. He coldly curled his lip and said in a low voice, "You take care of the Gu Family, and I will be responsible for rescuing her."
