C127 I've Come to Ask You for Something
"Reporting to High Lord, that ancient book was sealed into the library by Old High Lord over twenty years ago. It can only be opened after Old High Lord has come out of seclusion."
"Then have you seen it?"
"Reporting to High Lord, this old servant has only seen its appearance but has not read the contents."
Shen Lang said doubtfully: "Are you lying to me? When you were young, you lied to me that there was a monster that eats children in the forest. However, when I bravely went over, I found that an old man like you had planted a purple jade fruit behind me."
Hee Tu coughed dryly: "Ahem …" High Lord, you were very mischievous when you were young, and only became well-behaved when you were older.
"Then, that ancient book …"
"Eh? Just now, the Taotie went outside, I have to look for them. Please forgive my rudeness, but I'll hang up first. "
Hee Tu hung up without waiting for Shen Lang to speak.
Shen Lang muttered helplessly: "This old fox."
It seemed that Hee Tu knew something, but since he wasn't willing to say it, there must be a reason for it. Shen Lang could only give up for now and went back to his bedroom to sleep after taking a shower.
At seven o'clock that evening, Xiao Tiantian came to the barbeque shop on the street.
The employees took good care of her. In fact, she could just be a shopkeeper, but this was something her elder sister had left for her. As long as she had time, she would come here and do whatever she could.
It was still not the peak hour of the barbeque store's business yet. Xiao Tiantian was sitting at a table by the door, preparing some prepared barbeque ingredients with a stick and skewers.
"Looks like without Xiao Qiaoqiao, this store is really well-run." A hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Tiantian looked up and saw a man wearing a peaked cap.
"You … "Who is it?" Xiao Tiantian asked cautiously. She felt an unspeakable gloomy aura coming from this man.
The man raised his head. The scar at the corner of his eyebrows added a lot of killing intent to his skinny face.
Xiao Tiantian was stunned. "Gao …" "Teacher Gao?"
"What, do I look scary?" Gao Kun walked into the store with his hands in his pockets.
Gao Kun's current appearance was indeed scary. He had become thinner than before, his cheekbones were high and bulging, his eye sockets were sunken in deep and there was a greenish black surrounding his eye sockets. Adding to that gloomy murderous aura, it would be too much to say that he thought about evil spirits.
"Teacher Gao, you …" "Why are you here …" Xiao Tiantian asked cautiously.
Gao Kun didn't answer, but said to her, "Give me 20 kebabs of mutton and 20 kebabs of beef, don't roast it, I like to eat raw ones."
"Yes …" "Yes."
Xiao Tiantian picked up the freshly dressed skewers and quickly walked into the kitchen.
The few employees in the store couldn't help but glance at Gao Kun, but none of them dared to approach him.
Gao Kun found a place to sit down and stared gloomily at the back door of the barbeque store. No one knew what he was thinking about.
After a while, Xiao Tiantian brought him his kebabs and a bottle of beer.
Gao Kun revealed a smile: "You don't seem to be busy right now, why don't you sit down and have a bite?"
"I …"
"Sit." Gao Kun's smile carried a trace of coldness.
Xiao Tiantian, embarrassed, sat in front of Gao Kun. "Teacher Gao, these meat skewers have only been roasted half cooked according to your request …"
Gao Kun took a bite from a piece of mutton that was still red in color, "Hmm, not bad. You want some too? "
Xiao Tiantian quickly waved her hand. "No need, I only eat cooked ones."
"Teacher Gao... How have you been? " Xiao Tiantian took the initiative to start a conversation in order to avoid having to sit here awkwardly.
Gao Kun ate the meat and answered vaguely, "Not bad, it would be more comfortable if I don't become a teacher."
Seeing Gao Kun gobble down the 40 kebabs in a few bites, Xiao Tiantian said in a low voice, "How about a little more? I'll treat you to dinner."
Gao Kun finished his beer in one breath, wiped his mouth and said to Xiao Tiantian, "Not bad, you know how to do business. But forget it, I came this time mainly to find you for something. "
Xiao Tiantian blinked her big eyes and asked doubtfully, "What do you want?"
"I heard that your Xiao Clan has a family heirloom that is rhombus shaped and has a texture similar to that of a stone but not a stone. It is around this size." Gao Kun gestured.
Xiao Tiantian was stunned. "What do you want this for?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Your sister is dead, so her things must be with you. Hand it over."
"No …" That thing is not with me. " Xiao Tiantian frowned. "But, even if it's me, there's no reason for you to ask me directly."
"I don't have much patience. You'd better give it to me immediately." Gao Kun's expression turned even darker as a tyrannical aura spread out from his body.
A cold shiver went down Xiao Tiantian's spine. She didn't understand how Gao Kun's appearance could become so terrifying.
"Teacher Gao... I really don't have that thing... I'm not lying to you. "No, how do you know there's such a thing in our family?" Xiao Tiantian began to realize that something was wrong.
Gao Kun's eyes flashed with a blood-red light: "Girl, although I promised your sister that I wouldn't cause you any trouble, if you don't cooperate with me, then I wouldn't care that much."
Xiao Tiantian was stunned. From what she heard, it seemed like Gao Kun and her sister had some sort of connection that she didn't know about.
Looking at Xiao Tiantian's expression, Gao Kun was a little nervous as he laughed: "Looks like Xiao Qiaoqiao really protected you well. I didn't let you know what it was. Fine, how about I tell you that my Gao family worked for your Xiao family in the past, you know?"
Xiao Tiantian's heart twitched.
Gao Kun continued, "In order to protect the core members of the family, your dad did not hesitate to take all of the responsibility. Those core members survived without a trace, and your dad was not able to hold on. These days, I've gone to take revenge for your father, so you don't have to thank me. "
"You … What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you? " Xiao Tiantian's breathing became hurried.
The corner of Gao Kun's eyes twitched a few times, and the red in his eyes became even more intense: "Before your sister died, she gave me the names of those people to protect your life. I used this name to find those people.
Xiao Tiantian was once again shocked in her heart.
Gao Kun enjoyed Xiao Tiantian's reaction and said proudly, "I will... After killing them all, the assets that they left behind that originally belonged to the Xiao family were all given to me. I can do what your father failed to do back then, and I will cover the sky with one hand sooner or later with this Jindu City, do you believe me? "
The more Xiao Tiantian heard, the more confused she became. She didn't care about what Gao Kun said after that, she only cared about what Gao Kun said: "Before your sister died, she gave me the names of those people to save your life."
"Before my sister died … Have you seen me before? " Xiao Tiantian clenched her fists.
"Yeah." Gao Kun leaned back and crossed his legs. "Otherwise, why do you think she committed suicide?"
At this moment, Xiao Tiantian's mind exploded!
In the past few days, she had been trying very hard to accept the fact that her elder sister had already left. She had also tried very hard to convince herself not to think about how strange her elder sister's suicide must have been … Results... And now, without any forewarning, he had received this news.
Gao Kun looked coldly at Xiao Tiantian: "The reason I'm telling you this is because you can't do anything to me even if you know about it. And I want to warn you with this, that even your sister could be killed by me effortlessly, and you are not even worth mentioning in my eyes. If you want to live, then just give that thing to me."
"That's why my sister … Root... Not suicide? " Xiao Tiantian gritted her teeth.0
