Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

370-372

Chapter 370: No One Will Touch Him!

After leaving the ancient martial arts world, Gu Xiqiao stood at the intersection, waiting for Jiang Shuxuan. Two minutes later, a thin figure walked over slowly, and there was another person behind them. Gu Xiqiao glanced up to find that it was Alang.

“You didn’t take it?” Gu Xiqiao asked, looking at Jiang Shuxuan’s pursed lips.

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at her, then silently walked to her side, not saying anything in response.

Gu Xiqiao was also silent for a while, before finally saying, “Alright then.”

Seeing the two in this state, Alang couldn’t help but scratch his head and smiled. “Miss Gu, you and Mr. Jiang needs me to help with something, just say it. I’m not afraid of anything, just afraid that I won’t be able to help you.”

“It’s nothing for the time being. Go on back and continue your training.” Gu Xiqiao rubbed her temples, looking towards Alang.

As usual, Alang didn’t object to her words, and hearing that, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he glanced at the two with some doubt, then turned around and left.

After Alang left, Gu Xiqiao too turned around. “Let’s go back, Brother Jiang.”

Alang returned to Peace Manor, and just as he picked up his weapon, Luo Wenlang walked out from the house. “Alang, Mr. Zhuge is looking for you.”

“Mr. Zhuge?” Alang had been getting some understanding of the ancient martial arts world, and naturally knew who this Mr. Zhuge was. That’s why he asked even as he turned to walk inside. “Why is Mr. Zhuge looking for me?”

“I don’t know, but it should be something important if he’s looking for you. Didn’t Mr. Jiang also came looking for you just now?” Luo Wenlang shot Alang a doubtful look, before patting him on the shoulder. “Go on in.”

Alang felt his heart go a bit numb at the look that Luo Wenlang had given him, before he continued to follow behind him.

“Mr. Luo.” Zhuge Yan was flipping through a book when the two came in, and he couldn’t help but looked at Luo Wenlang. “Who wrote the notes in this book?”

Luo Wenlang glanced at the book, noting that it was an ancient text. Gu Xiqiao was the only person who could leave comments in them. “Everything in it is written by Miss Gu, Mr. Zhuge.”

“I guessed as much.” Zhuge Yan put the book down, turning his gaze towards Alang.

Luo Wenlang immediately understood. “I’ll take my leave first, Mr. Zhuge.”

“No need.” Zhuge Yan waved his hand, but his eyes were still on Alang. “Alang, when Mr. Jiang came looking for you just now, do you know what it was about?”

Alang was going to reply that he didn’t know, but Zhuge Yan went on without waiting, “When I first met Mr. Jiang, I saw that he would be having a life-threatening catastrophe in the near future.”

The moment he said that, Alang and Luo Wenlang both looked at Zhuge Yan in shock.

“When I first found Miss Gu, I gave her a horoscope. It was of the person who would be Mr. Jiang’s lifeline.” Zhuge Yan’s eyes were still on Alang unblinkingly.

Luo Wenlang picked it up within the next few seconds. “And this lifeline, it’s Alang?”

“That’s right.” Zhuge Yan turned away, softly saying, “Alang, he initially came to retrieve something in you that belonged to him, however, he didn’t do it in the end. That’s because he knew, the moment he took it from you, you would become useless. So, knowing this, are you still willing to return it to him?”
