Chapter 1104: Manzhi Villa (8)
The Shu Family arranged a grand funeral for Shu Manzhi, but as she was a married daughter, she couldn’t be buried in the Shu family’s ancestral grave. Thus, they purchased a beautiful hilltop in the suburbs and transformed it into Manzhi Villa, where she was laid to rest.
Gu Qingheng had visited twice before, once at Shu Manzhi’s burial, and another time on the third anniversary of her death, the very year the incident occurred. Unexpectedly, three years had passed when he found himself at Manzhi Villa once again.
There were people arranged by the Shu Family guarding the villa.
"Who’s there? Who dares to trespass into Manzhi Villa?" Gu Qingheng and Gu Yao had barely entered the villa’s territory when they were stopped by someone.
"Gu Qingheng." As he spoke, Gu Qingheng suddenly reached to his waist and pulled out a Soft Sword, raising it high.
The chilling blade unexpectedly bore two characters: Flower-picking.
The two men in black exchanged glances, then suddenly knelt on one knee: "We have seen the young master." It was said that the Flower-picking Soft Sword was a unique treasure sword sought out specifically by Changyangzi for his beloved disciple. This sword possessed a high degree of sentience; once it recognized an owner, it would not acknowledge another unless the master died. The only one who could make the Flower-picking Soft Sword emit light was the young master himself.
Gu Qingheng nodded slightly, then proceeded straight inside.
Further inside, there was no one blocking the way.
