To dispel that somewhat awkward feeling, she continued asking about the subject Gu Qing had just brought up.
Why did Zhao Layue attach such importance to this restaurant?
"All I know is that this was where Martial Aunt first killed someone. I don't know anything else."
Gu Qing said, "The person she killed then was a Nether Department disciple."
Little Lotus's face suddenly turned pale.
Gu Qing shook his head and said, "Don't let your thoughts run wild. We have no intention of killing you."
Little Lotus still dared not relax. Staring into his eyes, she said, "Anyone would see me as trouble for Liu S sui."
If the matter of Zuo Yi of Jade Lake Peak was resolved, Liu S sui would have a bright future ahead of him.
But if he kept a fox demon burdened with grave sins by his side, it would naturally affect him.
And given the way Liu S sui acted, this matter could not be resolved unless that fox demon vanished completely.
No wonder Little Lotus had become so intensely wary and uneasy upon learning that this was where Zhao Layue had first killed someone.
"Liu S sui doesn't regard you as trouble, so you aren't trouble for him. By the same reasoning, Liu S sui isn't trouble for our Divine End Peak either."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "But from the looks of things now, our Divine End Peak really will become trouble for Green Mountain."
That was because some people in Green Mountain regarded Divine End Peak as trouble.
In Little Lotus's eyes, Gu Qing's smile no longer seemed so detestable; it had become confident and endearing.
Nine days later, the sun set as usual.
Even the sun over Shangde Peak seemed to leave in greater haste than elsewhere.
