The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2486: Chapter 2486: A Banquet of Hospitality

Gu Qingheng looked at Flame, though separated by a mask, he knew the other was not lying.

”You’re just using this excuse to catch people.”

”Indeed, a noble reason.” Flame laughed, ”The Huaka Tribe is one of the larger tribes in Miaojiang, never submitting, but I cannot kill all of them, so I can only capture their leader. This way, the whole tribe will be in chaos.”

Gu Qingheng sneered slightly.

”Let’s go, it’s dinner time.” Flame gestured, ”Tonight, I am hosting a banquet for General Gu, and of course, some of your friends are here as well.”

Gu Qingheng’s heart tightened a bit, but he didn’t show it.

”Don’t worry, they didn’t resist, so nothing happened.” Flame seemed to know Gu Qingheng’s thoughts, ”They miss you very much, especially His Highness King Yun.”

Back in the previous hall, indeed, he saw Qi Jingyun, and there was also Zhang Tiankuo and that guard named Yun Lan of Qi Jingyun, but there was no sign of Ran Lei, Gu Qiao, or Qi Jingyun’s Yun Bai.

”Your Highness King Yun, long time no see.” Flame appeared very pleased, ”Serve the dishes.”

”Why are you here?” Gu Qingheng frowned as he looked at Qi Jingyun.

”Flame invited, could I not come?” Qi Jingyun exchanged a calm glance with Gu Qingheng.

Gu Qingheng nodded, if he wanted to leave he could, but upon seeing Chengzi, he had to rescue him as well, not to mention those captured as laborers, he couldn’t just ignore them.

The dinner was abundant, yet Gu Qingheng and Qi Jingyun had no appetite, and Qi Jingyun dared not eat, wary of poisons or spells.

Gu Qingheng wasn’t afraid of those, but felt no urge to eat, his mind entirely occupied with the situation in the valley, considering how to rescue people and withdraw.

But what frustrated him was, even if he found people, retreat was impossible.

”Is General Gu considering how to leave?” Flame raised his cup in a gesture, ”I advise you not to waste your efforts, here, you can’t possibly get out.”

”Not necessarily?” Gu Qingheng also raised his cup in a gesture, ”There’s no such thing as absolute in this world.”

”Then go ahead and try.” Flame shrugged.

”I shall.” Gu Qingheng smiled.

Qi Jingyun’s brow furrowed slightly, why did their conversation seem so strange?

”By the way, I have a ring here.” Gu Qingheng held up Song San’s ring, ”The Sect Hierarch must recognize it?”

Flame remained silent.

”Previously, your stand-in said this is your Young Master’s ring.” Gu Qingheng smiled, ”Wouldn’t it be ironic if the true Flame didn’t recognize it?”

”Just a silver thumb ring.” Flame smiled, ”If General Gu likes it, I can give you a box of them.”

”Fair point.” Gu Qingheng put the ring away, ”Though it looks nice, I’ll keep it as a memento.”

Flame made no comment.

After the meal, Flame personally escorted them to a courtyard.

”Just call if you need anything and someone will bring it.” Flame stood at the door, glanced at everyone, ”Please.”

They entered the courtyard, and the gate slammed shut.

”What is going on with you?” Once inside, ensuring no one was around, Gu Qingheng darkened his expression.
