The Secret

Feeling aggrieved, Old Man Mu spread his hands and complained to the Dragon King, "The good girl doesn't believe in me at all now. She doesn't tell me anything anymore. When we were back in the Land of Fragrance, I… Forget it, I can't blame her. It's all my fault. After all, I'm whole-heartedly loyal to the Dragon King, and it's right that the good girl is guarded against me."

Gu Shenwei wanted to find out what Shangguan Ru was hiding from him but Old Man Mu said that he didn't know anything. It was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or not. His old wrinkled face concealed too many things.

"The good girl would never do anything to harm the Dragon King. I can assure you of that." Old Man Mu confidently patted his chest and added, "I guess she was trying to surprise the Dragon King. Just wait patiently; why do you have to get to the root of it now?"

Gu Shenwei had never liked surprises.
