Chapter 993: Refusing to Disclose
Gu Fan hurried to the small wooden hut, only to find Jin Yi lying on the bed as soon as he entered. Jin Yi was still in a coma, riddled with wounds that made one’s heart ache.
Lu Bei was sitting beside him, silent and with a look of hatred in his eyes, seemingly annoyed at how heavy the other party’s hand had been.
Seeing Jin Yi’s condition made it clear there was no danger to his life, Gu Fan also heaved a sigh of relief and approached to ask, "How is Jin Yi? He should be alright, shouldn’t he?"
Lu Bei coldly said, "He’s just sustained some injuries. It’s normal for people in Martial Arts to get hurt. It’s nothing serious."
"That’s good, as long as he’s alright," Gu Fan said, not knowing what else to say to comfort him. After a moment’s thought, he added, "Victory and defeat are common in battle; don’t take it to heart. Besides, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. Once Jin Yi’s injuries heal, he can train harder and reclaim today’s loss with interest."
Lu Bei’s response was indifferent, as if Gu Fan’s presence and words didn’t matter at all, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward, as Gu Fan did not know how to continue the conversation.
With no other choice, Gu Fan steeled himself to broach the topic, "I heard that Jin Yi is the heir of Jian Shen, and you are a friend of Jian Shen."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bei frowned, showing some reaction at last, and glanced at Gu Fan with wariness, "I remember you previously said that you had a score to settle with Jian Shen. You’re not here to take this opportunity to strike at people related to Jian Shen, are you?"
"How could that be? Do I look like that kind of person?" Gu Fan quickly explained, but Lu Bei shook his head, "Why aren’t you? You said it yourself, is there any falsehood in that?"
