Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1742: Chapter 1743: He’s Not Much Better Off

Gong Juechen continued, ”Earlier, I was really worried. I was afraid that if I told you, you would be scared of me and leave me. Now, I can finally be at ease.”

Ye Zhi couldn’t help but laugh, ”Just now when I heard you say you are the Building Master of Slayer Tower, I was quite worried, fearing that your identity would be exposed and someone would come to seek revenge. How could we have any peaceful days then? Fortunately, you told me about the conversation you had with Boss and the others today. Since Boss, brother-in-law, and Su Chengyu are all willing to keep this a secret and don’t want to stand against you, as long as you don’t let Slayer Tower do evil deeds anymore, why wouldn’t we be happy?”

”Mm.”

”Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the King of Xiyun’s mansion to discuss this matter properly with Boss and the others.”

”Mm.”

”Brother-in-law injured you like this, but what about him? Did you hurt him back?”

Gong Juechen immediately replied, ”He’s not doing any better.”

”That’s good,” Ye Zhi was happy. How could only her husband suffer the injuries!

Gong Juechen also felt joyful. He could tell that his Zhizhi cared about him deeply.

”Actually, even if Boss and the others don’t persuade you to stop letting Slayer Tower do evil things in the future, I would have persuaded you myself. I don’t seek fame in history, I only seek a clear conscience. If you continue doing bad things, I truly can’t live with you.”

”Zhizhi, don’t say such things anymore. I won’t do any more bad things, and I won’t let Slayer Tower do bad things anymore. I promise you.”

”Mm, I believe you.”

Gong Juechen immediately took advantage, ”Can you call me husband again?”

Ye Zhi instantly gave him a sidelong glance.

Gong Juechen chuckled twice before saying seriously, ”You are the wife of the Slayer Tower Building Master. I can tell you everything about Slayer Tower. But as for An Jing and the others, I cannot disclose those to you.”

”I understand. You’re also doing it to protect Slayer Tower. I support you in that.” If he didn’t care at all for the existence of Slayer Tower, she would indeed think him heartless and ungrateful.

”It’s good that you understand.” Gong Juechen was most afraid of her not understanding. Now that she understood and supported him, he was really happy and even more at ease.

After gazing at Ye Zhi for a while, Gong Juechen spoke again, ”Actually, Slayer Tower is quite nice. The surroundings are tranquil, like a paradise. If not for my master not wanting me to get involved with Slayer Tower too early, my master wouldn’t have taken us to build a hideaway on another mountain. Later, as I grew older and more sensible, I wanted Se Se to live a pure and carefree life. So, I discussed with my master to still keep these things from Se Se, and we continued living at the original place without moving to Slayer Tower.”

”Can’t you relinquish your identity as the Slayer Tower Building Master?”

Gong Juechen shook his head, ”Unless I die, I can’t relinquish it. Slayer Tower has a rule passed down through generations: once you become the Building Master, you remain so until death, when a new Building Master takes over.”

Ye Zhi understood.

Since Gong Juechen would always be the Slayer Tower Building Master, and Slayer Tower would always be his responsibility, Ye Zhi said, ”One day, let’s go back to live in Slayer Tower. You’re the Building Master, so it’s good for you to be seated in Slayer Tower. Didn’t you say the environment around Slayer Tower is nice? We could live there permanently. Besides, with Slayer Tower’s power being so great, it should be the safest place in the world. Even if your identity gets exposed one day, I have nothing to worry about.”

The last sentence was actually the main point.
