Yelv Guza's pupils shook with shock; clearly, Gu Jinghui's act was beyond his expectations.
Gu Jinghui stood with his hands behind his back, feet slightly apart, waiting leisurely on the spot, expecting him to give an answer publicly.
But how to explain this?
The Yelv Zhi made a Life and Death pact with a group of young ladies, but the reason couldn't be revealed to the public.
If disclosed, it's feared that all the scholars of the Da Xing Dynasty would denounce him with harsh criticism.
Scholars have always been proud and fond of reputation; even such dirty dealings like corruption are disguised with elegant names. Their curses would persist for years, with ever-changing tactics, which is very disadvantageous for his plans to buy off courtiers.
Yelv Guza felt like he was being grilled over fire.
An especially tormenting situation.
"How come Gu Jinghui, a martial artist, has started playing literary tricks?"
He was greatly confused.
