Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1734: What Is Evil? What Is Good?

Upon hearing that the recuperation was effective, An Jing felt much more relieved. After exchanging a glance with her husband, she candidly said, ”Actually, the main reason we invited you here is not to check my husband’s health, but to discuss the matter of Slayer Tower.”

In the room, there were only her, her husband, and him. Some words could be spoken freely without any need for concealment, and there were guards outside the courtyard, so there was no fear of someone eavesdropping.

As Gong Juechen entered the courtyard and noticed there was no one there except An Jing and Xiao Changyi in the room, he knew that An Jing and Xiao Changyi wanted to discuss something with him. As for what they wanted to discuss, he had some ideas. Now, An Jing was straightforward about it, and he smiled, the smile lingering in his peach blossom eyes, yet not reaching the depths.

He lazily sat down on a chair beside him, leaning back in it, and lightly swept away the bangs on his forehead. ”Slayer Tower? Haha, I really don’t know what Slayer Tower is, you found the wrong person.”

”Gong Juechen, can you cooperate a bit?” An Jing was quite helpless. ”You’ve exposed so much already, we’re not stupid, we know you’re the Building Master of Slayer Tower.”

Gong Juechen remained silent, only smiling charmingly, looking completely different from his usual playful demeanor.

An Jing waited for a while and seeing Gong Juechen still not speaking, she then continued, ”You weren’t always fond of visiting brothels before? My husband sent someone to investigate Nuan Huan Pavilion. Although no secret room or tunnel was found beneath it, a wall in that Old Mama’s room was discovered to emit a hollow sound when struck, which clearly indicates a secret room inside.”

It was Meng Zhuqing who personally conducted the investigation. Although he did it secretly without alarming anyone in the brothel, he couldn’t find where the mechanism to open the secret room was. Nevertheless, Meng Zhuqing was certain that there was definitely a secret room within.

Meng Zhuqing, being so loyal, naturally reported everything he found truthfully to Xiao Changyi and An Jing.

Gong Juechen continued to smile charmingly with a hint of eeriness.

An Jing continued, ”You’ve exposed so much for my husband and me, we are truly grateful to you. But the matter that needs to be resolved still has to be resolved, don’t hate us for bothering you, we’re doing this for your own good.”

Gong Juechen remained silent, continuing to smile.

An Jing couldn’t help but sigh before she continued, ”Chengyu also knows you’re the Building Master of Slayer Tower, but he no longer fears you, nor will he do anything against you. However, regarding other members of Slayer Tower, if you continue letting them do anything for money, even killing the citizens of Xiyun, what will he—the Emperor of Xiyun—do? Then there would be no choice but to oppose you.”

Gong Juechen was still smiling, but now his smile carried a coldness.

”He doesn’t want to oppose you. He has agreed with us that as long as you lead Slayer Tower to abandon evil and do good, he can forgive everything Slayer Tower has done in the past.”

”Abandon evil and do good?” Gong Juechen finally spoke, but it was a cold laugh. ”What is evil? What is good? Haha, my master actually wanted to lead Slayer Tower to abandon evil and do good. For this, my master practiced medicine for years, saving countless lives. But in the end, a wealthy family’s son became gravely ill and sought my master’s treatment. My master treated him, but because the son was too ill, he couldn’t be saved. That family claimed my master was a quack who killed their son, and brought their protector to beat my master to death. My master, disheartened, took me and Se Se to retreat to the mountains.”
