213 Ghost Valley Master?
The Li family’s patriarch didn’t want to waste any time, so he said to Su Niang, “Bring your son back to the Li family with me. We’ll talk when we get back!”
Su Niang glanced at Kong Rui before gently pressing Tong Sheng’s shoulder and saying in a low voice, “Let’s go!”
The procuress stared at Tong Sheng and his mother’s backs as they left before turning to Kong Rui.
She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but she didn’t dare to speak on such an occasion.
Wasn’t Kong Rui very concerned about Tong Sheng and his mother?
Would it be dangerous for the two of them if they went back with the Li family?
However, seeing that her master had no intention of stopping them, the procuress could only watch helplessly as the mother and son left.
After the Li family left, Kong Rui turned to look at the silent Chao Bai. “Aren’t you going to ask me why I let the mother and son go back?”
Chao Bai walked straight to the backyard. “I’m not interested.”
Kong Rui stared at Chao Bai’s back as she wondered why he had been so moody these past two days.
She frowned slightly, but didn’t think too much about it as she followed behind Chao Bai towards the direction of the backyard.
After Tong Sheng and his mother returned to the Li family, she still had many things to do. Now wasn’t the time to think about those irrelevant things.
After Kong Rui returned to her room, she planned to take out the thing Kong Niang had given her to deal with Nie Lin and study it carefully.
Previously, Kong Niang had repeatedly instructed her that this thing could only be used when she was confident that she could approach Nie Lin without anyone noticing.
Now that she knew Nie Lin’s weakness, she was just waiting to find an opportunity to approach him.
Kong Rui had just opened her storage space when there was a knock on the door.
Kong Rui was startled and immediately put it away.
Chao Bai also walked out at this moment. After the two of them exchanged looks, Chao Bai said towards outside, “Come in!”
A person rushed in from outside. He had a beard and looked very fierce.
Kong Rui found this person familiar. He was probably one of the new servants in the front courtyard.
As soon as the person saw Chao Bai, he said anxiously, “Young Master…”
When Kong Rui heard that person’s address, she raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Chao Bai inquiringly.
Chao Bai wasn’t in a hurry to explain to Kong Rui. He only asked in a low voice, “What’s the hurry?”
“Young Master, among the people from the Li family that came just now, there’s someone I know! That person…” That person’s voice was rough, and because he was anxious, his voice sounded even more gnarly.
Feeling a little unsettled by that person’s voice, Kong Rui frowned.
After Chao Bai glanced at Kong Rui, he said to the person, “Take your time. Don’t be anxious.”
That person also glanced in Kong Rui’s direction before saying, “That person had visited Ghost Valley before and said his home was… the Demon Abyss!”
Chao Bai and Kong Rui exchanged looks. They didn’t expect such a situation.
However, the next moment, Kong Rui noticed another problem.
“Are you from Ghost Valley?” Kong Rui blinked at the burly man.
After that person glanced at Chao Bai, he didn’t dare to lie. “Miss, I’m from Ghost Valley!”
Kong Rui nodded, but didn’t say anything. Instead, she pointed at Chao Bai. “Then who is he?”
The person was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Chao Bai awkwardly.
Seeing that Chao Bai had no intention of stopping him, he said boldly, “This is our young master, the current master of Ghost Valley!”
“Oh!” Kong Rui said softly and stood up to walk out. “Since it’s an internal matter, you guys can chat. I’ll go out and take a stroll first.”
With that, Kong Rui walked out quickly without giving Chao Bai a chance to ask her to stay.
After walking out of the room, Kong Rui closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Ghost Valley? Ghost Valley, which is as notorious as the Demon Abyss and is feared by all the families in the five continents?” Kong Rui exclaimed in disbelief.
“Chao Bai is actually the owner of Ghost Valley?”
Kong Rui exhaled slowly to calm down first.
She hurriedly walked to the front and glanced at the few unfamiliar faces before waving at the procuress. She wanted to ask the procuress in detail.
Kong Rui was very curious. Wasn’t Chao Bai originally sleeping in the cave of Spirit Mountain?
How could he be the master of Ghost Valley?
