Chapter 1398: Chess Piece
Inside the tiny pagoda, Hao'er's hands were tightly clenched, and her beautiful eyes were wide with disbelief.
Ten years inside the pagoda was equivalent to one day on the outside! Could this man truly be Beixin Ci's disciple? But how could she take a fool like this as a disciple? Yet, if he weren't Beixin Ci's disciple, how could he possibly possess such a divine artifact?
For the first time, she was completely stunned.
Ye Guan led her out of the tiny pagoda. Looking at her seriously, he said, "Lady Hao'er, you must keep this a secret for me."
Hao'er snapped out of her daze.
"Idiot—ah, no."Realizing she had misspoken, she quickly corrected herself, saying, "Master, did that tiny pagoda really come from Beixin Ci?"
Ye Guan nodded earnestly, pretending that he hadn't heard her call him "idiot."
"Of course! My master told me that I'm a one-in-a-million sword prodigy, so she gave me that pagoda. However, I'm not sure if she created it herself. Either way, she gave it to me."
Hao'er stared at him intensely, as if trying to read him, but Ye Guan only revealed an honest smile. Suddenly, he asked, "Lady Hao'er, why don't you come with me?"
Hao'er was taken aback.
Ye Guan looked completely sincere as he added, "I'll treat you well."
