Chapter 853: Meeting Tan Shuangshuang Again II
It was isolated from the rest of the world. It was even hidden by numerous formations. No one could ever reach that place.
There were many people who could not find their way to Tian Shen Manor. That was why they guessed that Tian Shen Manor had created a medium that belonged to them. Hence, the people of Tian Shen Manor stayed inside the medium. It was what the outsiders a.s.sumed.
They thought that what could not be seen was true because of the formations. In fact, the founder of Tian Shen Manor did not even have the ability to create a medium.
But, it was peaceful there on the surface of the ocean. The powerful people of Tian Shen Manor could still feel it too.
Inside the chief manor.
Gu Shi opened his eyes calmly. His gaze fell on the sky not far away. His eyes brightened.
It was such a big movement that neither human beings nor spirit beasts were able to produce.
There was only one possibility. Only those living things which were born out of the spiritual qi would be able to do so. They were born with the ability to control all the power within heaven and earth.
Gu Shi got up from the rush cushion. He smoothed his sleeves and walked out of the cultivation room.
The back hill was a prohibited place in the chief manor.
It was a secret which Gu Shi got to know of when he got rid of the previous manor master.
Moreover, only the manor master was allowed to go there.
It was pitch dark in the jail that was located in the back hill. A woman whose face was scarred was seated in a corner in the dark.
The darkness engulfed the extremely ugly and disgusting face. Gu Shi would always be frightened although he prepared himself every time he went there.
It was an indescribable feeling.
He had never met someone whose face could be so ugly and disgusting that even heaven, earth, and h.e.l.l would be shocked.
He still remembered the first time he had met that woman in the jail when he had defeated the previous manor master.
Her clothes were shabby. Her messy hair covered her extremely ugly face. Both of her hands were even nailed onto the wall. She appeared to be dead but she did not seem to die.
Gu Shi had killed a lot of people these past few years.
He had slaughtered the entire family who had caused the death of his wife. He did not let any of them go.
His hands were covered with the blood of the deceased.
But, he had never really tormented anybody even though they were his enemies. He would just end their lives there and then.
He did not know the crime of that woman. He did not even know why she was being treated in such a way. He could not endure the sight of her being tormented like that. Hence, he planned to let her go and set her free.
But, that woman never left. It seemed that she had treated the jail as her home. She would never leave it behind.
“Girl.” Gu Shi sighed helplessly. “How long are you planning to stay in my chief manor. I don’t know what kind of hatred existed between you and the previous manor master. He treated you like this. Now, you’re free at last. When will you leave?”
In fact, Gu Shi had been the manor master for ten years now.
That woman simply stayed there resolutely for ten years. Her body festered and she did not want to be treated by a physician. In the end…
Her body healed but her face never did.
That woman was not ordinary.
It had not been peaceful in Tian Shen Manor as of late. He really did not want her there anymore.
The woman remained quiet.
It was just like ten years ago. Gu Shi had never heard her voice. She had never spoken in front of him.
She appeared to be a dumb person. Her eyes were dull. He did not know whether she really could not speak or that she thought that they were unworthy of her voice.
“Girl, I’m begging you now. When are you willing to leave? If not, the others would think that I’m the one who has tormented you in such a way if they find you here in the back hill.”
Gu Shi almost burst into tears.
His conscience would not allow such things to happen.
