Chapter 513: The People of the Eight Kings (1)_1
Gu Qingheng had actually heard the disturbance outside long ago, but with Gu Yao there, he was not worried, let alone with the presence of the esteemed Dao Xuzi nearby—if there truly was danger, he wouldn’t stand idly by.
He had developed extraordinary hearing because of his inner strength and his blindness, yet he hadn’t expected that this young girl would also be so perceptive.
The more time he spent with her, the more he realized how many secrets this young girl harbored, but still, he would never ask.
Although Yang Ruxin had covered Gu Qingheng with a quilt, she did not leave. She had heard someone lure Gu Yao away, and at first, she thought nothing of it, as ordinary people couldn’t trouble Gu Yao. However, within a short while, someone else arrived, so it was clear that their plan was to draw the tiger away from the mountain, targeting Gu Qingheng.
She wasn’t sure how many people had come, so what she had to do was protect Gu Qingheng. The medicine bath required soaking for two hours; otherwise, not only would it be useless, but the poison might even rebound.
To be on the safe side, though, Yang Ruxin still let Xiaolun out to stand guard next door; she feared these cruel people might harm her own family in desperation.
Xiaolun flicked its tongue and whooshed away.
However, Yang Ruxin suddenly thought of the Feng Family. She seemed to be outside, didn’t she? Could she be in danger?
"My mother won’t be in trouble," Gu Qingheng, sensing Yang Ruxin’s concern, said softly, "She knows to hide herself at the first sign of trouble. We know how to protect ourselves."
