Chapter 260: A Scene of Chaos!
“Ji Mo, second young master Ji, you sure have a big presence here,” a clear voice said.
“Who is it?” Ji Mo stretched out the syllables, lazily rolling his eyes. Suddenly, he sat up with an exaggerated gasp, “Gao Dashao? What brings you here? Ha, a distinguished guest has arrived, truly a shining moment! Cheng Xiong, bring some tea! Bring the good stuff!”
Cheng Yunhe’s face darkened. He felt an urge to kick this bastard out!
Did you really think this was your own home? How dare you treat me like a servant?
Helpless, Cheng Yunhe swallowed his anger and instructed the maid to bring tea, then he quietly slipped away. Let Gao Sheng deal with them; Cheng Yunhe had had enough of this!
This second young master Ji had no awareness of being a guest! He acted as if he was in his own family, as free as if it were his own courtyard. Who could stand that?
“Ji Xiong, what brings you to Zhongzhou for some fun?” Gao Sheng asked, sitting down with a smile.
“Gao Shao, your words aren’t quite right!” Ji Mo sat up, saying, “My legs are attached to me, I can go where I wish. Besides, Zhongzhou City isn’t your Gao Family's territory. How come you can come, but I, Ji Mo, cannot?”
“Of course not,” Gao Sheng replied with a well-mannered smile, “I was just worried you might lose your way. If you can’t find your way back, that would be a disaster.”
“Even if I got lost... I wouldn’t end up at your brother-in-law’s house…” Ji Mo chuckled, “Gao Dashao, I’ve heard… Miss Hu Yan has also arrived in the lower three days for this trial. It seems you two lovebirds could reunite in Zhongzhou City.”
“Uh.” Gao Sheng’s expression changed, three dark lines appearing clearly on his forehead.
The Miss Hu Yan mentioned by Ji Mo was the second young mistress of the Hu family in Zhong San Tian, Gao Sheng's betrothed. It was said that she was robust and strong… Gao Sheng, the eldest young master, didn’t seem very satisfied with the engagement…
If it weren’t for this “Miss Hu Yan,” Gao Sheng wouldn’t be hiding here with Diwu Qingrou… Now that Ji Mo brought it up, he had precisely hit a sore spot.
“I heard Miss Hu Yan is deeply infatuated with you, Gao Xiong, chasing you thousands of miles from Zhong San Tian to the lower three days. This devotion can truly move the heavens…”
Ji Mo chuckled, “Gao Dashao, a beauty’s affections are heavy. You must not let her down.”
“Say another word, and believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart?” Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and spoke in a sinister tone.
“I’m so scared of you, awoo…” Ji Mo huffed, “If you threaten me again, believe it or not, I’ll announce your whereabouts to the world? Let your fiancée come find you for some intimacy?”
The two glared at each other fiercely, like fighting roosters, and after a while, they suddenly burst into laughter.
Gao Sheng comfortably sank into his chair, saying, “Ji Mo, I heard you’ve been at Iron Cloud recently?”
“Hmm, I didn’t know you were in Great Zhao; your news is quite up to date.” Ji Mo finally sat up from the recliner and moved to sit across from Gao Sheng.
“Since you’re at Iron Cloud, have you met the renowned Chu King of Hell?” Gao Sheng asked with great interest, “How is he?”
Ji Mo sighed, “Gao Sheng, I knew why you came today. But this matter, I cannot discuss with you.”
“Oh? Why not?”
“You have your friends, and I have my connections.” Ji Mo said straightforwardly, “As you said, since I’m at Iron Cloud, I can’t possibly not know Chu King of Hell, but… I regard him as a friend. Do you understand what I mean?”
Gao Sheng’s smile faded, his expression becoming serious, “You’re saying… Chu King of Hell is your friend?”
“Yes! That’s what I’m saying!” Ji Mo nodded earnestly, “So I can’t tell you anything about him.”
“I understand.” Gao Sheng nodded silently, smiling, “I won’t force you.”
He initially intended to probe for information, but before he could start, Ji Mo had already made it clear, laying everything on the table, leaving no room for further conversation.
