The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1373 - 1373 667 Recognizing Each Other_3

Chapter 1373: 667 Recognizing Each Other_3 Chapter 1373: 667 Recognizing Each Other_3 This punch going down, Gu Chengfeng would be either dead or crippled.

At the critical moment, the door of the ground floor Grand Hall was suddenly kicked open!

The huge noise jolted everyone, causing a stir!

Zhao Si’s fist halted, and he coldly looked towards the first floor, only to see a young man dressed in the uniform of the Academy standing at the entrance, his expression icy cold.

Lightning flashed behind him; his whole being radiated killing intent, as if he were a warrior from Purgatory itself.

“Let him go,”

the young man said in a cold voice.

Zhao Si’s brow furrowed. He admitted that for a moment, he was intimidated by the young man’s aura, but as soon as the other spoke, he was sure this was a real person, where was the warrior from Purgatory?

He aimed again at Gu Chengfeng.

The young man flicked his wrist with palm facing down, and a dagger slipped out, spinning in his palm before the young man fiercely flung it.

Zhao Si did not see the trajectory of the dagger at all, only a flash of silver light.

The next second, his right hand was viciously stabbed, the dagger pinning his entire palm to the wall with its terrible force!

His body also crashed against the wall, and he inevitably let go of the other hand.

Gu Chengfeng fell to the ground.

Zhao Si endured the severe pain to try and pull out the dagger.

He couldn’t pull it out!

It was at this moment that he truly realized how strong the young man’s force was!

With an effort that felt like moving mountains and rivers, he finally pulled out the dagger and turned to attack the young man, but he hadn’t even stood up when the young man, who had appeared before him without him knowing when, kicked him right on the jaw.

It was a spinning kick, directly sending him flying out from the second floor.

He crashed heavily onto a table in the first floor Grand Hall, smashing the table to pieces, and he was thoroughly knocked unconscious.

When the middle-aged madam came out, what she saw was this very scene, and she was completely stunned.

Who is this kid?

How did he beat Zhao Si into such a state?

You should know, Zhao Si was a death warrior she had bought for a hefty price of Silver, never having suffered a loss at the hands of any expert!

“Who is this brat causing trouble in my Brothel, do you know who I am——ah——”

Before she finished speaking, the young man had already walked over, grabbed her by the throat, and ruthlessly slammed her against the wall!

Her back hurt so much, she wished she could spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The young man looked up, staring coldly at her: “Who allowed you to touch him?”

Him?

Which him?

The slave?

“Madam, are you going to return the Poisonous Insect or not… ah!” A maid holding a bowl, stood frozen on the spot from fright.

“Bring it here,” the young man told her.

The maid shakily walked over with the bowl.

The young man glanced at the middle-aged madam who was unable to breathe and turning purple: “Feed it to her.”

The maid was on the verge of tears from fear.

To feed or not to feed? Would she die if she didn’t?

With an expressionless face, the young man said, “If you don’t feed her, you eat it yourself.”

The maid steeled her heart, reached out, and aimed the bowl towards her own madam’s mouth.

The middle-aged madam hastily turned her face away: “Young hero, spare my life please——young hero, spare my life——it wasn’t intentional——I didn’t know he was your slave—— if I knew I wouldn’t have brought him back even if I had a hundred times the courage——”

“Madam! Law enforcement is here! They are searching the tavern next door! It seems that a slave laborer has escaped from the Han Family’s mine!”

The middle-aged madam instantly turned to look at Gu Chengfeng on the ground!

Gu Chengfeng’s body stiffened.

The middle-aged lady suddenly realized, “He, he, he is a fleeing servant from the Han Family?”

A glint of murderous intent to silence her flashed in the young man’s eyes.

A chill ran down the middle-aged lady’s forehead!

Indeed, for an instant, she had thought to herself that if the officials came and captured them, she would be saved.

But it appeared that was not the case now.

The middle-aged lady said in a panic, “Don’t kill me… I won’t tell… I won’t say anything!”

The young man evidently did not trust her.

With a flick of his toe, the young man flipped a dagger from the ground into his hand and held it against her neck.

The middle-aged lady’s complexion changed drastically, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I have a way to help you avoid the officials! If you kill me, you’ll expose yourselves too! It’s not worth it! Spare my life! I guarantee no one will find him!”

…

Half a quarter of an hour later, the officials finished searching next door and came over.

The Grand Hall was quickly tidied up; Zhao Si had been taken away, but the front door the young man had kicked down had not yet been reattached.

There were six officials in total.

They were not the same group that had encountered Gu Chengfeng but a different one.

And because they had discovered that Gu Chengfeng knew martial arts, the Han Family’s mine had sent a few formidable Dragon Shadow Guards over, with three of them among the six.

The middle-aged lady’s surname was Xun, her first name was Fengxian.

She came downstairs full of charm and said with a beaming smile, “Oh, what wind has blown you distinguished officials here? Our Tianxiang Pavilion is truly honored tonight!”

The leader of the officials took out a portrait and asked the middle-aged lady, “Have you seen this person?”

Xun Fengxian glanced at the portrait and said with an unchanged expression and a smile, “Oh, such a handsome young man, what a pity, I haven’t seen him.”

The leading official said in a cold voice, “Are you sure you haven’t seen him?”

Xun Fengxian replied with a smile, “Our Tianxiang Pavilion doesn’t have performers of such looks, if I had seen him, I would certainly remember.”

The leading official commanded, “Search!”

Xun Fengxian’s face lost its color as she exclaimed, “Hey! What are you doing? Do you not know that the Third Young Master of the Nangong Family is a valued guest of our Tianxiang Pavilion!”

The lead official snorted in disdain.

How could the Nangong Family be mentioned in the same breath as the Han Family?

The officials searched inside and out thoroughly, and it was fortunate that Tianxiang Pavilion wasn’t doing great business that night, with only a few guests, or the loss would have been significant.

“Chief, we didn’t find him!”

The officials returned to report in the Grand Hall.

The lead official showed the portrait to Xun Fengxian and said, “If you see this person in the future, remember to report to the Han Family.”

“Is there silver?” Xun Fengxian asked.

The leading official shot her a cold glare, causing Xun Fengxian to shrink back and say in a low voice, “Yes, I’ll remember.”

The officials turned and left.

Xun Fengxian watched them enter the Gambling house next door before she went to the Firewood Room in the Backyard, moved aside the firewood, and pulled open the secret door on the ground, saying to the two people in the cellar, “They’re gone!”

Gu Jiao carried Gu Chengfeng out.

Xun Fengxian actually had the opportunity to betray them just now, but she chose not to because Gu Jiao had said to her, “If you betray me, I’ll run away and then come back to kill you. You can bet on whether I can escape or not.”

When the young man spoke those words, his bloodthirsty gaze did not resemble that of a living person, and Xun Fengxian did not dare to gamble her life on that slim chance.

Xun Fengxian settled Gu Chengfeng in her own room, not because she wanted to take advantage of him, but because her room had an escape passage and was the safest in the Tianxiang Pavilion.

Gu Jiao laid Gu Chengfeng on the bed and planned to go to the carriage to fetch a First Aid Kit to treat his wounds.

Just as she turned around, a burning hot palm grasped her hand.

There were things he would not do on ordinary days, words he would not say.

But he was burning with such a high fever that his mind was muddled; how could he still care about his dignity or self-respect?

He held onto her tightly, striving to open his eyes, looking at her through a blurry vision, and said in a hoarse and weak voice, “Have I found you?”

Gu Jiao looked at him and nodded, “Yes, you’ve found me.”
