Chapter 1210: Chapter 1222
Jian Chunqiu pondered for a mont, then said, "The problem is we can’t negotiate when he will take action, which puts us in a passive position."
Chu Ge nodded, agreeing that this was a tricky issue. They’re in the dark while we’re in the open; all actions are under their control.
This feeling really made him uncomfortable.
"All we can do now is take it one step at a ti."
Jian Chunqiu sighed lightly, "By the way, I heard you’re going to teach martial arts cultivation to the Yuwen Family?"
Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Did Lin Dong tell you that?"
That big mouth—he taught the Yuwen Family, and not many people knew about it, only their inner circle, but Lin Dong went around spreading it.
Jian Chunqiu chuckled; he was very satisfied with his disciple Lin Dong.
"By the way, does Lin Dong still hold an important position at the Gambling Stone Field?"
Jian Chunqiu suddenly asked.
Chu Ge looked at him sowhat puzzled, not understanding what he ant by that.
"I want to take Lin Dong back to the Sword Pavilion; ever since he beca my disciple, I’ve never taken him to see Spirit Mountain."
Jian Chunqiu said, "And the other disciples are curious about Lin Dong, they all want to see what my new disciple looks like."
Chu Ge thought about it; it was indeed ti for Lin Dong to go back to the Sword Pavilion with Jian Chunqiu. He nodded and said, "Alright, when are you leaving?"
Jian Chunqiu waved his hand, "No rush, we’ll leave after Gao Weijie’s matters are settled."
The two chatted a little longer, then Jian Chunqiu went upstairs to rest, while Chu Ge stood in the courtyard, tending to the new flowers and plants he had planted.
The results of Zhao Wuji’s investigation ca in early the next morning.
When he called Chu Ge, Chu was in the middle of morning exercises; Lin Dong and the others were also busy with their own cultivation.
It wasn’t until after his morning exercises that Chu Ge noticed he had missed three or four calls.
All from Zhao Wuji.
Chu Ge thought, perhaps he’s found out sothing about Mu Bingtong, and likely it’s sothing bad. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called so urgently.
Chu Ge pressed the return call button; the other end picked up after a short while.
"Zhao Wuji, did you find out sothing?"
Chu Ge asked.
Zhao Wuji nodded on the other end, sounding a bit anxious as he said, "Mr. Chu, you’ve encountered a rival in love."
"..." A rival in love?
Chu Ge was taken aback, then looked at him sowhat confused, "What do you an?"
"Recently, a man has been persistently harassing Lady Mu, launching a fierce pursuit. If that’s not a rival, then what is?"
Zhao Wuji’s words held a bit of concern, "The key is, the one pursuing Lady Mu is a young master from one of the Six Major Families of the Capital City, the Wei Family. He has money, power, and influence. I’ve sent photos to your email."
Chu Ge humd in acknowledgnt and listened to Zhao Wuji say a few more things before hanging up the phone.
Initially, Chu Ge was a bit hesitant about whether to tell Zhao Wuji about Gao Weijie’s situation, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. After all, those matters were still too distant for Zhao Wuji.
Moreover, they didn’t know when the actions would take place. If he told Zhao Wuji in advance, it would only make him anxious prematurely, which would be unnecessary.
After hanging up, Lin Dong ca over to call him for breakfast.
Ouyang Die had gone ho; with no one to take care of their als, Ouyang Die left them under the care of the housekeeper for a few days. But now, even the housekeeper had left, so their breakfast had turned into bread and instant noodles.
Chu Ge went to the dining table, opened the instant noodles that had already been steeped, and began eating.
Lin Dong was eating bread, the bread they hadn’t finished from the previous morning, which was particularly hard.
Lin Dong looked dejectedly at the bread in his hand and said, "If Miss Ouyang doesn’t co back soon, I might lose ten pounds."
Lin Zhao lifted his gaze to glance at him, chuckling, "Who can you bla? It’s your own fault for not finishing the bread yesterday. You insisted on being frugal and saving it for today. Well, here you go; the bread sat for a whole day and night and is hard now."
Lin Dong pursed his lips and gave Lin Zhao a sideways look, snorted lightly, and said, "It’d be nice if soone around here could cook."
Lin Dong seed to rember sothing, slyly looked at Chu Ge, and cheerfully asked, "Mr. Chu, I rember you know how to cook, don’t you?"
Chu Ge raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently, then gently nodded, "You’ve eaten my cooking before, haven’t you?"
Lin Dong froze, rembering the wild ga they’d eaten earlier, and suddenly felt his stomach churning.
Sure, it tasted good at the ti, but the aftertaste lingered for a long ti.
He rembered at that ti, even long after eating, he could still taste the wild ga.
At that, Lin Dong remained silent, retreating into his own thoughts.
Just then, the sound of a car engine ca from outside.
Soon, Nangong Man Sha walked in with a swagger, holding breakfast in hand.
"Mr. Chu, you all have already started eating?"
Nangong Man Sha stood at the dining room door, seeing them eating instant noodles and bread; she shrugged, "Looks like I’m a little late."
When Lin Dong saw Nangong Man Sha, especially the breakfast she was holding, his eyes lit up.
He eagerly stood up, walked over to Nangong Man Sha, and said with a grin, "Not late at all! Hehe, Miss Man Sha’s breakfast must be especially delicious. I’m just not quite full yet..."
Nangong Man Sha chuckled and shook her head, handing the breakfast to Lin Dong, "Eat more, don’t let it go to waste."
Chu Ge had almost finished his instant noodles by then and, wiping his mouth with a napkin, curiously asked, "Miss Man Sha, what brings you here?"
Lin Dong placed the breakfast on the table, and Lin Zhao and Long Ang unceremoniously gathered around, pushing their instant noodles aside.
Lin Dong heard Chu Ge’s question and said, "Mr. Chu, of course Miss Man Sha ca because she was concerned you hadn’t eaten breakfast. Right, Miss Man Sha?"
Nangong Man Sha found a place to sit, brushed the hair from her forehead back, tucked the stray strands behind her ear, and said, "It’s nothing much. I just haven’t seen everyone in a while, so I ca to visit."
"I think Miss Man Sha missed Mr. Chu, didn’t she?"
Lin Dong’s voice chid in again.
Chu Ge shot Lin Dong a glare, saying nothing.
But beside him, Lin Zhao bopped Lin Dong on the head, "Eat your food, less talking!"
Long Ang also looked at Lin Dong with disdain, "Give them so personal space, let them talk on their own. Why do you keep interrupting!"
