Chapter 1271: Sun Cult (1)
At this time, Gu Qingheng, who was on people’s minds, had already been brought into a very spacious room. Upon entering, he saw that there were already six people inside, all with their hands and feet bound, fixed onto an iron rack in the shape of a spread eagle and scattered around the room.
When someone came in, all six people simultaneously lifted their eyes and looked over, clearly, everyone was conscious.
Gu Qingheng scanned the crowd and recognized some familiar faces: one was Song San, another was Fa Qingyang who had competed with Yang Ruxin for the Embroidered Ball, and, to Gu Qingheng’s surprise, there was Xie Tai, the master of the Xie Family Villa.
Xie Tai also appeared slightly stunned when he saw Gu Qingheng; the two had met a couple of times many years ago, but it had been several years, so a bit of confusion was normal.
However, Gu Qingheng smiled. It was normal to see Xie Tai here, as Wanren Villa had many weapons that often needed maintenance or repair, and the Xie Family were masters in that area, so the two families had frequent dealings.
By then, Xie Tai had also recognized Gu Qingheng. In fact, he had seen him before in Lianhua Town, but at that time Gu Qingheng was in a wheelchair and blind, so Xie Tai didn’t come forward to acknowledge him. He hadn’t expected that not even nine months later Gu Qingheng would have recovered, and to be meeting under such circumstances. He too smiled and asked, "Young Master Gu, are you here for the Embroidered Ball too?"
Gu Qingheng shook his head, "I’m already married, why would I compete for the Embroidered Ball?"
"It seems what I heard was true," Xie Tai nodded slightly.
"How did you get in here?" Song San frowned, "Was it that..." he wanted to ask about Yang Ruxin, but he wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to do so here.
