Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1967 - 1968: Seal Her Room for Me!

"Really?"

"Of course it’s true! Ever since I confessed to you that I’m the Slayer Tower Master, I’ve never lied to you again!"

"That makes me feel a little better." After a pause, Ye Zhi asked, "What about the Green-clothed Person? What did you do with her?"

"She’s fine, don’t worry, after all, she’s someone my disciple cares for. I wouldn’t do anything to her. I wouldn’t want my disciple to hate me, right?"

Ye Zhi nodded, agreeing. After a while, she added, "I hope Star can forget about Qingyi, and that Lele won’t back out, really marrying Star."

"Now that you mention it, I’m also worried that Lele might back out." Gong Juechen looked troubled, "You know, our daughter often goes back on her word. She acts according to her mood. If things don’t go her way, she picks a fight with us."

Ye Zhi cast him a sidelong glance, "Just like her father!"

"If only she truly took after me, at least I’m not foolish. Look at her, if this child hadn’t been with us all along, I’d suspect she’d been swapped out somewhere along the way."

"If you have the guts, say to her face that she’s foolish and see if she won’t throw a fit at you."

"I don’t have the guts," Gong Juechen immediately put on a mischievous smile, "Let’s just go have breakfast, I reckon Lele is already waiting for us to join her."

"What about Star?"

"He’s likely gone to find Huo Qingyi. Once he can’t find her, he’ll naturally come back. I know him."

"Hmm." Only then did Ye Zhi join Gong Juechen to have breakfast in the dining room.

...

Unable to use the Slayer Tower’s power to find someone, and with no one from the Slayer Tower willing to tell him Huo Qingyi’s whereabouts, and with Huo Qingyi leaving no trace behind, Su Yixing wandered about aimlessly like a headless fly for four days and nights outside, then returned to the Slayer Tower.

Upon returning, Su Yixing went straight to Huo Qingyi’s room and commanded, "Seal her room for me!"

"Yes, Young Master!" The subordinates immediately began sealing Huo Qingyi’s room with wooden planks and nails.

Su Yixing didn’t leave, he just stood there, expressionless, watching them seal the room where Huo Qingyi had stayed for a long time.

Only after the room was sealed did Su Yixing return to his own room. Upon entering his room, he found Gong Le already there waiting for him, sitting at the table and drinking tea.

Only when she saw Su Yixing close the door did Gong Le, with a charming smile, say, "Brother Xing, as soon as I heard you were back, I came to your room to wait, but I had to wait a while. Anyway, I finally waited long enough to see you. I won’t ask why you took so long to come back to your room after returning. I just want to tell you, my dad made Huo Qingyi leave, but it wasn’t my idea."

Su Yixing said, "If it was your idea, don’t expect me to let you be with my third brother!"

"That’s why, to ensure you don’t oppose me and Big Brother Qing, I naturally wouldn’t rashly have my dad make Huo Qingyi leave."

"But you can’t completely detach yourself from this!" Su Yixing retorted angrily. "Your dad made her leave because of you!"

"If you want to hold that against me, I can’t help it. But, Brother Xing, I’m curious, why are you sealing her room? Are you not planning to bring her back?"

"You said you wouldn’t ask what I just did, but you clearly knew I went to seal the room." Su Yixing glanced at Gong Le, then said calmly, "I will bring her back, but once I do, I won’t let her have a chance to leave me again."
