Chapter 729 Not That?

Gao Ge has never dealt with Horn Dragon before. This is the first time they have met.

Yet, it seems that Yue Xincheng and Horn Dragon have got on well with each other.

Luckily, Yue Xincheng doesn’t know what Gao Ge is thinking about. Otherwise, he will be exceedingly depressed.

“Erk? Oh right, why are you here too?” Yue Xincheng is taken aback and then asks, “Didn’t you tell me that you wouldn’t come?”

Horn Dragon takes a glance at him and says nothing.

Gao Ge says with a smile, “Maybe Lord Horn Dragon was worried that you might encounter any danger so he rushed here on purpose.”

With a surprised look, Yue Xincheng grins cheekily, “Half-master, you care about me so much?”

“Care about you? Humph. I’m just afraid that you may run away with your boss,” Horn Dragon says grumpily.

“Haha. Forget it. After all, that’s what I believe.”

“Since you have nothing to do here, just leave with me,” Horn Dragon says.

Yue Xincheng only walks to Gao Ge instead of rejecting.

“Boss, I’m leaving now but my training won’t take long. When the training is over, I will join you then.”

“Go ahead.”

“Okay. I will leave you two alone.” Yue Xincheng looks at Xia Lu and banters, “See? I told you that you would become my boss’s girl sooner or later. And you didn’t trust me.”

“Piss off!” Xia Lu blushes and curses. Then, she peeps at Gao Ge and feels somewhat nervous.

Horn Dragon says when leaving with Yue Xincheng, “There won’t be any problem with the Dragon Court. Don’t overthink.”

Gao Ge smiles at Horn Dragon and nods his head without uttering a word.

Horn Dragon stares at Gao Ge for a while, heaves a sigh, shakes his head and then leaves.

Yue Xincheng follows him.

After walking for a while, Horn Dragon suddenly asks Yue Xincheng, “Do you think he will go to the imperial capital?”

“Yes,” Yue Xincheng answers without thinking.

“Oh?” Horn Dragon seems a bit surprised to hear such an answer from Yue Xincheng and then says, “You are so sure?”

“Or else?” Yue Xincheng rolls his eyes and says, “My boss is not tactless. Actually, even if you say nothing, he still knows what he should do and what he shouldn’t do. Instead, I think those who keep reminding him are not so smart…”

Horn Dragon slaps him in the back of his head.

Yue Xincheng staggers and doesn’t feel surprised. After all, he has been used to this.

At first, maybe he felt a bit disgruntled and worried whether he would become slow-witted for being thumped by Horn Dragon. However, Horn Dragon told him that since he was already not smart, he wouldn’t be more slow-witted.

Yue Xincheng felt Horn Dragon was right so he didn’t fuss about it.

“Since you’ve said so, I’m relieved then,” Horn Dragon says.

Yue Xincheng suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable, “Since when do you think I’m reliable?”

“Humph.”

As Horn Dragon doesn’t answer, Yue Xincheng can’t be bothered to continue asking.

They go down the mountain and walk across the bridge.

Xia Lu says first, “Let’s settle somewhere and you think about it?”

“Okay.” Gao Ge nods his head.

“Let’s go to a hotel then. I don’t want to go home.” Xia Lu is still holding Gao Ge’s arm.

Gao Ge says with delight, “No problem.” He doesn’t want to go to the Xia Family’s house either. If he sees Xia Mu, he will feel a headache. Besides, he hasn’t figured out how to get along with Xia Mu.

Xia Mu is not easy to get along with!

He doesn’t like Gao Ge. Neither does Gao Ge like him.

They had better not meet for now.

If Gao Ge really stays in the Xia Family’s house, both of them will be displeased.

They go to a hotel and check in. Gao Ge sits on the sofa and Xia Lu takes a bottle of water from the minibar of the room.

After opening the bottle, Gao Ge takes a big gulp of the water and then places the bottle on the table.

Xia Lu sits next to Gao Ge quietly. Probably they have been used to this way they stay together.

Of course, it is also partially because Xia Lu is worried that she may disturb Gao Ge’s mind if she talks now.

Should he tell the Dragon Court the news?

It looks like a simple question but Gao Ge has to be discreet about it.

After all, Meng Jing’s matter makes Gao Ge hate the Dragon Court more or less.

Luckily, Gao Ge doesn’t like splitting hairs.

He takes a deep breath and thinks through the issue.

Even if he takes the golden monkey and the fox spirit with him, they probably won’t be able to survive and return.

And Meng Jing will be in a more dangerous situation.

Therefore, this is an unwise option.

Actually, Gao Ge was hesitant just because he was worried that if the news was leaked, the Dragon Court would act recklessly, which would alert the Ghost Sect and let them take precautions.

“I must go with them and keep them from acting recklessly. And I must try my best to let Meng Jing leave first if possible,” Gao Ge touches his chin and says.

“Okay. I’ll go with you,” Xia Lu says softly aside.

Gao Ge takes a look at her and can’t help chuckling.

Xia Lu is at a loss because of Gao Ge’s sudden chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Actually, you don’t have to act like this. Just keep the same old you,” Gao Ge says, “I’m not used to your talking so softly.”

Xia Lu is so speechless.

Are men so masochistic?

She snorts, “I didn’t know that you were so masochistic.”

Gao Ge puts on a long face. Is it what he expressed?

Then, Xia Lu thinks of something and suddenly feels a bit frustrated.

“What’s wrong? Are you still thinking about your brother? Actually, he has gone to do the Dragon Killers a favor. Ms. Qin was with us so I couldn’t tell you back then.”

“That’s not what I’m thinking about… What? My brother has gone to help the Dragon Killers?” Xia Lu suddenly stands up and goggles at Gao Ge with staring eyes in disbelief.

Gao Ge is also dazed.

Xia Lu wasn’t thinking about that. What else was she thinking about?

He wants to slap himself so badly. If he knew it earlier, he would definitely not say it. After all, it would be no use telling Xia Lu. She could only get worried.

That is probably the reason why Xia Shengtang didn’t tell Xia Lu about it. Men always report only what is good while concealing what is unpleasant just because they don’t want to make their beloved ones worried.

“He only told me that. I don’t know the details,” Gao Ge whispers.

“Why does my brother get involved with the Dragon Killers?” Xia Lu asks nervously.

Gao Ge heaves a sigh. Since he has revealed some information to her, he cannot hide the rest from her. Therefore, he tells her all that Xia Shengtang told him in the mountain.
