Chapter 780: Chapter 781 The Unfathomable_1

Gong Juechen suddenly pouted, looking incredibly wronged as he spoke with a particularly grievous tone, ”If I tell you, apart from pinching her in front of you that time, I actually didn’t do anything to her, would you believe me?”

An Jing was initially stunned, then responded with annoyance, ”Nine out of ten things you say are lies, how do you expect us to believe you?”

Gong Juechen immediately looked aggrieved, ”But every word I say is true...”

An Jing turned away, no longer paying any attention to Gong Juechen.

However, Gong Juechen became all smiles and jokes, ”Jingjing, let me tell you something that my master often said to me and my sister, ’The fake can’t become real, and the real can’t become fake’.”

This person is really too good at pretending!

And the better someone can pretend, the more unfathomable they are.

Talking is useless, An Jing couldn’t be bothered to continue speaking with Gong Juechen, but just because An Jing had nothing to say didn’t mean Gong Juechen was silent.

All that was heard was Gong Juechen saying, ”It doesn’t matter if you all don’t tell me where my wife is, I’ll find her myself. My wife is my destined fairy, our meeting is inevitable, I will definitely find her!”

After saying that, Gong Juechen hurriedly walked out, looking like he was going to search for Wild Goose Jade.

Neither An Jing nor Xiao Changyi tried to stop him.

Only when they heard the sound of Gong Juechen riding away on his horse did An Jing ask Xiao Changyi, ”Husband, do you think he’ll be able to find her?”

Xiao Changyi said, ”You once said something.”

”What?”

”You said it to Wuyu. ’If it’s meant to be, fate will bring us together from thousands of miles apart; if not, we won’t meet even when face to face.’

An Jing immediately laughed, ”That makes sense!”

...

Wild Goose Jade woke up at quarter past noon, and upon awakening, she found that she was not at the entrance of An Jing’s courtyard, nor in the rooms beside An Jing’s house, but in a strange inn.

After asking the inn’s waiter, she found out that this was the county next to Qilin County.

The waiter also told her that she was brought there by a gentleman wearing Qingyi, who had already paid three days’ room fee for her.

Without having to think, Wild Goose Jade knew that the Qingyi gentleman was Meng Zhuqing.

And with Meng Zhuqing bringing her here, she wasn’t foolish and naturally understood the implication—it must be that An Jing and Xiao Changyi were annoyed with her, didn’t want to see her, and since she wouldn’t leave on her own, they had sent him to take her away.

She had indeed been quite presumptuous.

She wanted to be accepted as a disciple without discussing it with anyone first.

Thinking this way, Wild Goose Jade sighed slightly. If it weren’t for the sake of revenge, why would she need to be so bothersome?

When Wild Goose Jade woke up, she noticed a bundle at the head of the bed, but as she was trying to figure out where she was, she hadn’t looked at it. Now knowing her whereabouts, she picked up the bundle to check.

Inside the bundle, there were four sets of new clothes, all black: two sets of men’s clothing and two sets of women’s clothing;

There was also a purse, made of blue cloth, and inside the purse were twenty taels of silver;

And there was a letter.

Wild Goose Jade didn’t immediately open the letter to read it but looked at the four sets of new black clothes in the bundle, knowing that surely Meng Zhuqing had prepared all this without An Jing and the others knowing, thinking how she always liked black clothes. Wild Goose Jade appeared very calm on the surface, but her heart was not very calm.

Then, without dwelling on her feelings, she opened the letter.

The letter contained only one sentence:

’You can go anywhere you want, but just do not come back looking for my master again. I do not want to draw my sword against you.’

With deep eyes, Wild Goose Jade stared at the single sentence on the letter for a long while before silently burning the letter with just that one sentence on it.

After burning the letter, Wild Goose Jade picked up the bundle, intending to throw away those four sets of clothing and the silver, but as she pulled open the door of the guest room and stepped one foot out, she suddenly paused.
