Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 241 240 Gu Zhili also wants to say thank you
The Duke's wife took Wu Caifeng away.

The conversation ended on a bad note, but the outcome was good.

Feng Xiuhu continued his acting skills as he did at the dinner party, and Wei Su'e seemed to have determined that he would keep to himself what happened in Tianya that day.

This made it easier for Hong Shenghuo to conduct a private investigation later - although he knew that Hong Shenghuo would not be able to find out anything, what happened later had nothing to do with Feng Xiuhu.

Feng Xiuhu has always been wary of Hong Shenghuo, or rather, he was wary of the Xijun Temple.

When Hong Shenghuo placed the rotten iron lid of the ammunition box in front of him, an alarm bell sounded in Feng Xiuhu's heart.

Even the Water Control Bureau was deceived by Hong Shenghuo. Under the pretext of investigating the Shenwei Cannon case, Hong Shenghuo was investigating the whereabouts of Eclipse for the Xijun Temple.

Of course, it is impossible for Xijun Temple to appoint only Hong Shenghuo to investigate, so it can be inferred that the entire Xijun Temple is doing this in secret, and Hong Shenghuo just happened to find a clue, which happened to be known by Feng Xiuhu.

But before that, Feng Xiuhu had always had a question that he couldn't figure out - as a genuine primitive god, what qualifications did the Xijun Temple have to investigate him?

If we say that Xijun mobilized the entire group of Eastern gods to look for Eclipse in order to find him, this might be more fair.

Feng Xiuhu got the answer to this question from the Queen of Wind and Rain.

Lady Fengyu had mentioned more than once that she wanted to find Xijun.

So Feng Xiuhu made a bold guess.

Not only Eclipse was missing, but also Xijun.

What the Xijun Temple is really looking for is not Eclipse, but Xijun.

This is also the reason why Hong Shenghuo can only investigate secretly - Xijun's disappearance is a secret, and Xijun Temple cannot be known to outsiders.

From the perspective of Xijun Temple, Xijun and Eclipse have always been tied together, and they both disappeared at the same time, so they believed that as long as they found Eclipse, they would be able to find Xijun.

Feng Xiuhu never asked E about this, because E had never revealed it on his own initiative. Feng Xiuhu knew very well that given E's character, even if he really asked, he would not get any information.

But there is no doubt that he and Eclipse are now indeed one and the same and inseparable, so Xijun has always been listed by Feng Xiuhu as the number one enemy of the imaginary crowd.

So he had to be wary of Xijun Temple and Hongsheng Fire.

Therefore, Feng Xiuhu is well aware that he still has a lot to understand and learn.

This is not only to deal with powerful enemies in the future.

It was also because of his intense discomfort with being in this world.

If you ask yourself honestly, Feng Xiuhu has never thought about changing the world. He has no ambitions and is not a good person.

But the problem is that he doesn't want to be changed by this world.

This is the irreconcilable contradiction between Feng Xiuhu and the world.

So he must become strong. Only when he is strong enough can he stop being pointed at by others and forced to make changes, and only then can he make the world adapt to him.

But that’s a story for later, so let’s put it aside for now.

Put it back in the present.

Gu Zhili stood up without saying a word. Although she was still reluctant, at least she had lost her initial rebelliousness. She didn't even dare to look Feng Xiuhu in the eye.

Feng Xiuhu noticed that she was holding a bundle in her hand - it was handed to her by Wu Caifeng before Wei Su'e and the others left.

Feng Xiuhu raised his chin: "What are you pretending for?"

Gu Zhili placed the bundle on the table and unfolded it silently.

Feng Xiuhu glanced sideways and saw that in addition to a few sets of clothes, there were also some jewelry that were obviously worth a lot of money, rings and necklaces, wine glasses and jade bowls, and other miscellaneous items.

Gu Zhili explained in a low voice: "Madam treats me like a sister. She said that she won't be able to take care of me in the future, so these are my advance dowry."

Feng Xiuhu nodded and asked her to put it away again.

He had just made a fortune yesterday and was not interested in these small items for the time being.

Gu Zhili packed up her things, bowed and prepared to leave the room: "I can sleep anywhere, as long as there is a bed, but please ask the housekeeper to show me the way." Her attitude changed quite quickly, but it was not very sincere.

Feng Xiuhu waved his hand: "No hurry, say thank you first."

Gu Zhili was stunned. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Thank you, Master."

Feng Xiuhu shook his head: "No, it's not sincere enough."

Gu Zhili looked up at him and couldn't help but ask, "I've already accepted my fate, how can you expect me to be sincere?"

Feng Xiuhu crossed her legs and held her chin in her hand, smiling, "Ali, this doesn't seem like the attitude you would use to treat someone who saved your life."

Gu Zhili's face turned grim: "You're talking nonsense again... How can your servants tolerate you if you're so difficult to serve?"

"Don't believe it."

Feng Xiuhu nodded at her and said, "You thought that Wei Su'e compensated you to me and that you suffered a great loss, but in fact, it was me who saved you."

"The Duke is determined to teach Wei Su'e a lesson, and since your name is in Old William's account book, this lesson will inevitably fall on you. If I don't take you here, how many days do you think you can survive in the Duke's Mansion?"

Gu Zhili's face turned pale.

Feng Xiuhu jokingly said, "Under the pretext of dealing with a traitor, the Duke of Da is justified in taking your head. Does Wei Su'e dare to stop him?"

Gu Zhili swallowed her saliva. This logic was not difficult to understand. She got goose bumps on her back and felt a little scared.

Feng Xiuhu asked again: "I saved your life, shouldn't you say thank you?"

Gu Zhili's teeth trembled: "Thank you...thank you."

Feng Xiuhu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "You see, once we talk it out, we're both pretty easy to talk to."

This is the truth, but Gu Zhili knew very well that Feng Xiuhu's original intention was definitely not kindness - he just wanted her body.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel that the smiling expression on Feng Xiuhu's face also became obscene.

Gu Zhili subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes: "You, you have to let me get used to it for a while first."

Feng Xiuhu thought for a moment and said he understood: "I understand. Don't worry, it's just the internship period. I'm a regular employee and I get paid during the internship period."

"what?"

Gu Zhili obviously didn't understand.

Feng Xiuhu didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Well, you should show your sincerity first."

Gu Zhili's face turned even paler. She stared at Feng Xiuhu, and Feng Xiuhu also stared at her.

After a while, Gu Zhili finally made up her mind. She endured the humiliation and reached out to slowly unbutton her shirt.

"What are you hiding?"

Feng Xiuhu widened his eyes, thinking she was going to take something out.

He quickly stood up and walked over, stretching his neck to look inside the collar.

Gu Zhili's face flushed and her hands trembled, but she didn't dare to stop him.

Feng Xiuhu looked for a long time but saw nothing, so he had to look away in disappointment.

He looked up and saw Gu Zhili's rosy face, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that she is hot."

Gu Zhili lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Can I go now?"

Feng Xiuhu was puzzled: "I haven't asked anything yet!"

Gu Zhili suddenly looked up and glared at him in shame and anger: "Isn't that enough?"

Feng Xiuhu slammed the table and glared back: "Watch your attitude!"
