If he said yes, wouldn't he be hiding from Xiu Qin to deal with her?
If he said no, how could he explain that he came from Lower City?
Fortunately, these days, he looked at Gu Huai and learned a little bit about telling lies.
He looked down at the toes of his shoes and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked Xiuqin: "How are you these days? I heard you were injured before."
The topic was interrupted like this, and the meaning of the inquiry was instantly lost.
Xiuqin found it quite boring and did not continue the topic.
She knew that no matter whether Wu Qing made a new weapon or not, he would probably not tell the truth to her.
Gu Muxi tilted her head and looked at the two of them, feeling that her task had been completed. Her father only asked her to deliver the person. Now that the person has been delivered, can she leave too?
Feeling that there was no problem, Gu Muxi turned around and planned to go back to the lower city. However, she saw many sentries standing outside, pointing their dark guns at her.
"I'm afraid you can't leave now." Xiuqin pushed Wu Qing who was blocking her in front of her and spoke to Gu Muxi coldly.
She could tell that Master Huai was very kind to this little girl, and they had a special relationship.
Xiuqin once heard Gu Muxi call Gu Huai 'dad'.
So she felt that she had to keep Gu Muxi in order to control Gu Huai.
Gu Muxi looked at the muzzle of the gun outside, then looked back at Xiuqin, with doubts in her eyes.
She shook her head and walked outside.
Without Xiuqin's order, others did not dare to act rashly. Xiuqin wanted to capture Gu Muxi alive, so she did not let others take action rashly.
She stared at Gu Muxi's back, feeling a strange intuition in her heart.
If he shoots himself, will Magician Huai suddenly appear?
Xiuqin has always been a person who trusts her own intuition.
She made a gesture and asked the people outside to shoot.
If the Great Magician Huai had not appeared, it would have been just a child dead. If he had appeared...
Xiuqin never thought about the second possibility.
She has made comprehensive inquiries about the place where Gu Huai appeared. According to the data, 'Great Magician Huai' clearly came from the lower city.
He came up from the triangle garbage dump, first destroyed the barrier, and then reached the upper city through the loophole.
That boy Deng Bo would be deceived, but she would not.
A mere person from the lower town also wanted to cause a storm in their upper town.
Don't even think about it!
The light wave rushed towards Gu Muxi, who didn't quite understand what he was about to encounter.
She tried to dodge those fatal attacks, but those light waves were aimed at her heart as if they had eyes.
"dad."
Gu Muxi always chose not to understand such incomprehensible things. Before she was about to be lost in the attack, she called out to Gu Huai softly.
Because she felt Gu Huai's breath.
Children are always very sensitive to the people they like.
And Gu Huai did stand in front of her.
He raised the staff and stood in front of Gu Muxi, taking away all the attacks lightly without making any unnecessary moves.
Turning his head, Gu Huai looked at Xiu Qin.
Xiuqin's scalp felt a little numb.
The Gu Huai in the plan will never appear.
He might be angry because he killed Gu Muxi, but he would never show up at the scene, let alone question her on the spot.
Now, she can't even find an excuse.
Besides, the fact that Gu Huai himself appeared here already showed that he was extraordinary. From the beginning to the end, she was unable to discover Gu Huai's existence, nor how he suddenly appeared here.
"Huai Grand Magician."
The smile on Xiuqin's face was really stiff.
The attack at this moment has stopped, and the sentry who received the order to suspend the attack has disappeared.
"I think you owe me an explanation." Gu Huai held Gu Mu Xi's hand, who was trembling slightly.
This made Gu Huai very unhappy.
He knew that Gu Muxi might be in danger, but he never expected that Xiuqin would be so decisive and capable of killing a child.
She's awesome.
Xiuqin couldn't come up with an explanation.
She looked at Gu Huai and felt that she had a lot to say, but when she opened her mouth, she was stuck and couldn't say a word.
Especially when she saw Gu Huai's cold eyes, she felt even more panicked.
She felt that she was really in big trouble this time.
"This is a misunderstanding."
Xiuqin could only watch Gu Huai's reaction while making up stories on the spot.
After all, if she remembered correctly, Gu Muxi shouldn't be able to speak. As long as she couldn't deny herself, she could say whatever she wanted about it.
Wetting her lips with the tip of her tongue, she added: "I didn't know she was your child. Although she sent Wu Qing here, it's really weird for a child to bring someone from Shangcheng to Shangcheng.
.”
Having said this, Xiuqin's entire train of thought was clarified, and she even felt lighter.
"I thought she was the one who stopped your people, broke into my residence, and brought Wu Qing over. I thought she was the one on the other side, and that's why others took action."
"Really. But now that I think about it, she is the little girl who has always been by your side."
Gu Huai remained silent.
He looked at Xiuqin and didn't say a word until she finished speaking.
Xiuqin couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She looked at Gu Huai, waiting for the other person to speak.
It seemed that it was not as she expected. It was Gu Muxi who spoke first.
Gu Muxi squeezed out a few tears, pulled Gu Huai's sleeves, and sobbed: "Dad."
Of course Gu Huai knew what she wanted to express.
It's nothing more than wanting to tell myself that this woman is lying.
Of course he knew Xiu Qin was lying. You know, when she was doing it, he was right here watching her command.
However, he didn't want to let her go so easily.
"It's exactly what you said." Gu Huai paused, "Then why don't you capture her alive? Only by capturing her alive can you better know who she is? Unless you already know who she is from the beginning.
.”
Xiuqin's face stiffened slightly. She didn't expect that Gu Huai could discuss logic with her in this situation. Of course she knew there was a problem here, but in the tense atmosphere just now, how could she possibly justify it.
Just looking at Gu Huai's ugly face, Xiu Qin knew that even if she couldn't justify herself, she still had to do it.
"It's too chaotic in the city now."
She let out a long sigh, looking very sad, but actually she was stalling for time to think of a solution.
"In the past half month, I have been dealing with Deng Bo, and he has been looking for someone to assassinate me."
Xiu Qin said and looked at Gu Muxi: "Three children like this have already been executed for assassinating me. I really don't dare to take it lightly."
Gu Huai nodded, as if he believed it: "So that's it?"
Seeing something going on, Xiuqin immediately answered: "It's true, all this is Deng Bo's fault!"
These things were half true and half false, and even Xiuqin made up lies and believed herself.
Deng Bo has indeed been in trouble recently. However, the assassination of three children is fake. There are basically no children as bold as Gu Muxi.
