Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1215 Why?
  Hearing Gu Xun's teasing, Shi Lan's plain little face blushed a little. She was a little embarrassed and wanted to argue, but she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything.

The store was dark at the time, and it was bright outside. Logically speaking, it was difficult to see the inside clearly from the outside.

And after she accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Xun approaching on horseback through the store door from a distance, she immediately hid and did not dare to make any sound again.

Still being discovered, Shi Lan felt that she was not to blame, and that it was obviously the other party who had a problem.

But the situation is stronger than the person, and she dare not say anything...

Seeing the little girl's shy and annoyed expression, Gu Xun couldn't help but feel even happier and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha……"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Gu Xun stopped laughing and asked, "Little girl, can you tell me why you appeared in Songhai?"

When Shi Lan heard Gu Xun's question, the faint embarrassment on her face immediately faded away, and she regained her previous indifference and alertness.

She did not answer Gu Xun, but made a statement first:
  "This inn is just a place for me to hide. Everyone there has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Gu Xun comforted her calmly, "Don't worry about Cook Ding and the others being implicated by you."

"Master Cook Ding's craftsmanship is very important to me. As long as he doesn't make any taboos, I will never let him make any mistakes."

It's not easy to find a good cook these days.

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, she really didn't understand Gu Xun's brain circuit.

An official of the empire met someone who was related to a wanted criminal and let him go just because the food he cooked was delicious?

The girl who quickly matured because of her family's death didn't quite believe that Gu Xun would be so out of tune, but she still chose not to question it.

Because she has no initiative, she can only try to prevent others from being affected by her. As for whether she succeeds or not, she can only leave it to fate.

Gu Xun looked at Shi Lan with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. The girl who looked straight at him became colder and colder. After a while, he spoke:
  "Sure enough, the more I look at you, the more I find that you are more different from your mother... except that they are both beautiful women."

"You..." When Shi Lan heard Gu Xun mention her mother, the coldness on her face melted away a little. After some hesitation, she asked, "What is the relationship between you and your mother?"

Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha..."

While laughing, Gu Xun explained, "Don't get me wrong! Your mother and I are just friends, and they are relatively ordinary friends."

"As for the emotion I just expressed, it's just my personal problem. I get old before I get old and I always like to imitate the old man's behavior."

Hearing the laughter that was a bit joking - what she thought she thought, Shi Lan's face, which had just softened a little, suddenly turned cold again, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Shi Lan didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. Even if she was caught and killed, she only wanted one result.

Probably sensing the change in his master's mood, the grinning little Hei behind Shi Lan lowered himself lower and lower, looking like he was ready to pounce and bite at any time.

Gu Xun suppressed his smile, but there was only a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, looking more serious. "If you want me to answer your question, you might as well answer my previous question first, how about that?"

Shi Lan's cold eyes scraped across Gu Xun's body like a knife, and asked, "Do you think I will tell you?"

Gu Xun raised his hand and touched his chin, turned around, paced back and forth and said, "After the fall of Shushan, I sent people to look for you, but unfortunately I only found some clues to prove that you successfully escaped from the empire. rounded up, but the specific whereabouts could not be found.”

"You young people like you who have no experience in the world can't escape from the pursuit of quicksand, so someone must have helped you to escape the pursuit and come to Songhai."    "Who is it?"

Gu Xun stopped, turned around with a smile, looked at Shi Lan, and got the same reply:

"Do you think I would tell you?"

"Tsk..." Gu Xun smacked his lips, "I'm sure you won't believe it. If I ask this, it actually has nothing to do with the empire."

"To be precise, if it was purely because of the empire, I would be indifferent, just like I don't care about the relationship between you and Youjian Inn - this is not even as valuable to me as one of Chef Ding's dishes .”

"Since you think you are smart, you should know that no matter whether what you say is true or not, I can't possibly tell you." Shi Lan's tone was slightly taunting with revenge, and she coldly responded to Gu Xun's frankness. '.

"Ah..." Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and sighed slightly, "Sure enough, you are more like a hedgehog than your mother..."

"But I have to point you out - I don't think I'm smart, I'm just strong enough."

"Of course, this is not important."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me who helped."

"I didn't come to you today for these... trivial matters,"

Shi Lan was a little stunned. If these were all small things, what other big things could happen to her?
  Shushan is gone, and she is just a worthless Princess of Shushan with an empty title. Apart from getting a reward for catching her, what additional value does she have?
  Want to explore more secrets of Shushan?

But everything in Shu Mountain is built on the sacred Fuso trees. Now that the trees have been transported thousands of miles to the seaside by you, what else is there to study?
  Gu Xun ignored her question, raised his hand and took out the Ice Soul Sword with a hollow move.

The sudden chill stung Shi Lan, who was lost in thought, and her eyes widened slightly when she saw the ice blue sheathed sword in Gu Xun's hand.

Where did this thing come from?

Shi Lan couldn't help but recall the surrounding environment and the figure of Gu Xun when he appeared. He couldn't find anything that looked like there was an extra sword, and he couldn't help but feel more confused.

Gu Xun still didn't make a sound, but gently threw the Ice Soul Sword forward in his hand.

The Ice Soul Sword drew a semicircle in the air, turned into a posture with the hilt facing upwards and the scabbard pointing to the ground, and was immediately inserted into the ground.

I don't know if the shape of the Ice Soul Sword's scabbard is too spiky, or if Gu Xun used extra skill, but in short, such a scabbard sword was forcefully inserted into the soil and stood not far in front of Shi Lan.

Gu Xun raised his hand and pointed at the Ice Soul Sword, and then said, "Here, try to pull it out."

"Huh?" When the girl who was already confused heard this, she suddenly showed a blank expression.

This dull look was very different from her previous cold temperament, but it was inexplicably harmonious.

Seeing this, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile knowingly, but he still didn't let go of his business. After refining his words, he said again, "Draw the sword!"

At this time, Shi Lan's mind barely turned around, and she knew that Gu Xun asked her to pull out the sword that exuded a cold air and looked unusual.

But the most fundamental question remains unanswered.

why?
