Chapter 1654 - 1640
Impossible, it must be his imagination. He has lived with Ye Liang for so long, if she truly wanted to harm him, she would’ve acted long ago.
Looks like he’s in a hurry now, sees problems in everyone.
Chu Ge helplessly shook his head and sighed slightly, "With things like this, do we have any other options?"
Prince He Shuo is a member of the Royal Family. Even if their Beggar Gang is strong, they can’t confront the court. If he forcibly breaks in, he alone might not withstand a thousand troops.
Chu Ge fell silent, and for a moment, the fortune teller and Luo Qi remained speechless as well.
None of them noticed that someone was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation from the shadows. Little Shunzi hid in the dark, waiting for their conversation to end.
Although he didn’t hear them come up with any plan at the end, he overheard a shocking fact.
Not until the hall was empty did he come back to his senses from the news. He never imagined that Chu Ge wasn’t from their current time, but from another time-space.
No wonder the eldest young lady of Ye Residence suspected him, even having him surveilled!
Getting such important intelligence, Little Shunzi naturally needed to quickly report to Ye Liang. He waited until Chu Ge and the others left before crawling out of the shadows, checked his surroundings to find no one, then dusted off imaginary dirt and walked out.
After Little Shunzi left, Feng Luo quietly emerged from the shadows on the other side, hands on her hips, smiling smugly, "I sensed that this Little Shunzi was suspicious, indeed! Now I’ve got the evidence!"
As Feng Luo spoke, she quietly followed him.
Little Shunzi went to the address Ye Liang gave him, arriving at a small creek three miles away from the pavilion where Ye Liang waited.
"Did anyone notice you coming here?" Ye Liang looked behind Little Shunzi several times, asking worriedly.
Little Shunzi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I was very cautious. I looked back several times on the way here, no one followed me."
He was panting, with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, clearly having rushed here in a hurry.
"That’s good." Ye Liang exhaled in relief, "What urgent matter brought you to me?"
"I was just in the hall, overhearing their conversation..."
Little Shunzi told Ye Liang all the information he had overheard, still unable to recover from the shock, "I really can’t believe it, Chu Ge isn’t from this place, oh wait, I can’t say it like that, he’s not from this time-space."
Although he said this, he still couldn’t grasp what being not from this time-space truly meant, but he was certain that Chu Ge was different from them.
Little Shunzi stroked his chin in thought, beginning to worry, wondering what Chu Ge’s real abilities were like. If Chu Ge had already discovered why he was kept by his side, wouldn’t that spell trouble?
Thinking this made Little Shunzi even more fearful, "Miss, you see I haven’t been of any use around Chu Ge, maybe this task..."
The three words "forget it" hadn’t yet left his mouth when Ye Liang’s resolute gaze suddenly shot over, "What did you say?"
Little Shunzi’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly waving his hand, "No, no, I said nothing, just wondering if you have anything you need me to do now? Hehe..."
His smile was uglier than crying; he was now like a tiger they had beaten and tamed, all his family’s young and old were at Ye Liang’s mercy, so he could only accept his fate.
"Not for now. Just keep monitoring Chu Ge, report immediately if he takes action."
Ye Liang instructed coldly.
Since Chu Ge already knew the location of the Time-Space Gate, he would surely take corresponding measures, it’s time to make a move on him.
The setting sun cast a slanting red glow over half the sky, the creek water was clear, birds flew, fish swam, the scenery was beautiful.
But at this moment, no one cared about the beauty of the scenery, they all stood there with their own concerns.
Ye Liang stared at the flowing creek, lost in thought, no one knew what she was thinking. Little Shunzi stood beside hesitantly, not daring to disturb Ye Liang, nor daring to leave abruptly, resigned to just stand there senselessly.
In the distance, Feng Luo crouched under a big tree, watching them, sighed indignantly, "Too far away, can’t hear what they’re talking about."
But one thing was certain, Little Shunzi was suspicious. He had just overheard Luo Qi and Chu Ge’s conversation and immediately went to see this woman, clearly telling her all he overheard.
But who is this woman? Is she after their Beggar Gang or targeting Chu Ge? That remains unknown.
Feng Luo watched for a long time, unable to discern anything, seeing them both standing silently, she pursed her lips and left.
No point staying here, couldn’t hear their conversation anyway, staying longer might get her discovered.
The woman looks like trouble, she can’t fight anyone with her skills.
After Feng Luo left, she went directly back to the Beggar Gang Old Mansion, the Old Gang Leader was back, and she had a good reason to report.
As soon as she entered the Old Mansion, she ran into Chu Ge.
Feng Luo thought of the danger Little Shunzi posed beside Chu Ge and almost warned him, but recalled that Chu Ge often bullied him before, so she didn’t want to tell him anymore.
If she kept it a secret, her conscience bothered her, leaving her conflicted.
Chu Ge looked at Feng Luo in confusion, seeing her stuck in place, conflicted face, curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"
He always had an inexplicable feeling that Feng Luo’s identity was extraordinary, unaware she was actually the Vermilion Bird Star.
If he were to ask for her help, would she agree? If he wanted her to return to his own time-space with him, would she agree?
He recalled the fortune teller saying if he wished to return to his own time-space, he would meet his duplicate in the Time-Space Tunnel, so should Feng Luo then...
Chu Ge lowered his eyes slightly, sighed softly in his heart, hoping she didn’t have a duplicate in her time-space like he did, thus avoiding forced fusion.
Actually, what Chu Ge feared was unnecessary; his main concern should be whether Feng Luo would agree to help him open the Time-Space Gate.
"Nothing, I’m just curious how you and Little Shunzi met?"
Chu Ge looked at her puzzled, not understanding why she suddenly asked, "Haven’t I told you before?"
