Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1739: Chapter 1740: Everything You Heard Is True

Being asked, Gong Le just smiled happily at Ye Zhi, showing her teeth, while babbling away.

It was clear she had no idea what Ye Zhi was asking, nor did she understand why Ye Zhi was feeling down. She was simply happy that Ye Zhi, her mother, was talking to her, so she laughed in delight.

For lunch, because Gong Juechen still shut himself in his room, Ye Zhi didn’t have much appetite either, so she didn’t eat anything.

Gong Juechen only emerged from his room when night fell and the sky was barely lit, requiring an oil lamp, and as soon as he came out, he saw Ye Zhi sitting by the stone table in the courtyard. He immediately ran over to her, urgently apologizing, ”Zhizhi, sorry, I came out a bit late. I’ll go cook right now.”

Ye Zhi held him back from heading to the kitchen. ”I’ve already cooked dinner, just waiting for you to eat. Although my cooking is terrible, please make do and have a little.”

Gong Juechen immediately grinned cheekily and said, ”No matter how terrible it is, I still love to eat what you make.”

Aside from fried rice, there wasn’t a single dish Ye Zhi could make that was presentable; all her food was just awful. However, whenever Ye Zhi cooked, Gong Juechen would happily finish it all.

Seeing Gong Juechen’s cheeky grin again, Ye Zhi knew he had recovered and felt less worried. She turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Gong Juechen walked beside her, shoulder to shoulder, still asking, ”Where’s Lele?”

”She’s tired from playing and sleeping in the guest room. Don’t wake her up; let’s feed her something when she wakes up at night.”

”Hmm, hmm.”

Ye Zhi didn’t cook much, just three dishes: a plate of chicken, a plate of lotus root, and a plate of dried beans. Her cooking skills were so poor that everything was awful, even the rice she managed to burn.

Ye Zhi had cooked several times before and got used to making such dishes, but as long as it was Ye Zhi who cooked, Gong Juechen would be delighted.

They each served a bowl of slightly burnt rice and sat across from each other at the square table.

Ye Zhi picked up a chicken leg for Gong Juechen. She knew her dishes weren’t good, so she didn’t ask him if they tasted okay.

Gong Juechen ate happily.

Ye Zhi had little appetite, poking at the rice in her bowl with chopsticks but not eating.

Seeing this, Gong Juechen knew Ye Zhi was waiting for him to speak up. After pressing his lips together, he finally said, ”Zhizhi, have you ever heard of the Slayer Tower?”

Ye Zhi said, ”Of course, when Dongqing took over seven cities in Beihe in less than three months, wasn’t it with the help from the Slayer Tower?”

”What about its bad reputation? Have you heard anything about that?”

”I’ve heard a bit. People say the Slayer Tower would do anything for money and has killed many good people. Everyone wants to destroy the Slayer Tower.” She paused, ”Why are you asking this?”

Gong Juechen hesitated before putting down his chopsticks and looking straight into Ye Zhi’s eyes, saying, ”I am the Building Master of the Slayer Tower.” He paused, ”What you’ve heard is all true.”

Ye Zhi knew Gong Juechen was facing some trouble and was mentally prepared, but she didn’t expect Gong Juechen to be the Building Master of the Slayer Tower.

For a moment, it was difficult to accept Gong Juechen’s identity, and Ye Zhi didn’t know what to say.

Although Gong Juechen acted playfully, after spending so much time together, she could tell he wouldn’t joke about something like this. Clearly, he really was the Building Master.

The head of the Killer Organization.
