Chapter 2149: Chapter 2149: Pawn (1)
In an inn on Sky Street, everyone did a simple wash-up, then had a quick bite before retiring for the night.
The mountaintop now is unlike in future generations, where tourism is developed and mountaintop facilities are robust. At present, everything on the mountaintop is carried up by manpower. Of course, there are porters in the future as well, but the roads in the future are all steps, with some places even flattened out, making them at least easy to walk on. But now? Many places don’t even have roads, so one can imagine how challenging it is to transport things up.
So even drinking water is very difficult here, let alone taking a bath.
Of course, there’s plenty in Yang Ruxin’s space, but it cannot be taken out. As for food, they could only have Gu Qiao send everyone a large pear each.
"Which direction did Tang Kun go down the mountain from?" Yang Ruxin applied medicine once again on Gu Qingheng’s scapula, suddenly recalling the earlier scenario.
Gu Qingheng shook his head, "I’m puzzled as well. There were people all along the front mountain road, but they didn’t spot them. No trace was seen on the back mountain either." However, there was a lot on his plate during the day, so he didn’t think much of it, but recalling it now seemed odd.
"What about Song San?"
Gu Qingheng still shook his head, "No one saw him either."
Yang Ruxin furrowed her brow.
"Do you think there’s a problem with him?" Gu Qingheng glanced at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin gave a slight smile, "From the first time I saw him, I thought there was a problem, and with all the coincidental meetings afterward, I’m convinced the issue is bigger."
Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Isn’t it him eyeing you?"
"Perhaps, but he surely has a purpose." Yang Ruxin gave Gu Qingheng a side-eye, "I think his motive to kill me is even stronger."
"He wouldn’t dare!" Gu Qingheng’s face darkened.
"Whether he dares or not is just my feeling and speculation." Yang Ruxin reached out and held Gu Qingheng’s hand, "Let’s hope my feelings are wrong."
"Hmm." Gu Qingheng nodded, "Let’s rest first. Tomorrow, we still have to go find Master and Mistress." If Tang Kun was indeed saved by Song San, he wouldn’t mind killing him.
At this moment, in a cave halfway up the mountain, Tang Kun leaned against a stone wall, his face pale, yet he sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
Song San stood in front of him with one hand behind his back.
After a long while, Tang Kun opened his eyes, his complexion restored, exhaled, and stood up while supporting himself on the wall, slightly bowing towards Song San, "Thank you, Young Master."
"You were too reckless." Song San looked up at him, "You disregarded your godfather’s words."
"Tang Kun wouldn’t dare." Tang Kun lowered his head, feeling a bit of fear. He had climbed to his current position because Flame pushed him up, and it was certain he could be pulled down.
This time he was indeed reckless, but when he discovered that people supposedly dead suddenly came alive, and things once under his control slipped away, it filled him with panic. So, he recklessly took the Secret Medicine, but still lost.
"Get some rest." Song San changed the topic, "Later, I’ll take you down the mountain, and then, return and keep a close eye on the Tang Sect." Though the Tang Sect is just a Jianghu Sect, it holds substantial sway, especially with what’s in the Tang Sect’s hidden chamber, and the items in Shushan, which are what he is determined to obtain, so Tang Kun is a piece he cannot abandon yet.
