Engagement?” Hearing that, a frown appears on Gu Hao’s forehead .
He knows that he has an engagement .
When he was in the Gu Clan, those people didn't go easy on him in terms of his engagement .
The engagement between him and young lady of Feng Family has been made as soon as he was born .
Both of them being the first born of the direct line of their clans, before Gu Hao's talent started to show, they were indeed well-matched in social and economic status .
Only later, Gu Hao was tested to be a good-for-nothing while the young lady of Feng Family, though not exceedingly talented, was more gifted than average .
Besides, since the Gu Clan has declined under Gu Po Tian's leadership, it isn’t as powerful as Feng Family anymore .
As one falls, another rises . This engagement becomes more and more unfit .
Since Feng Family hasn’t been in touch for many years, Gu Hao nearly forgets he has an engagement himself, so he stops when Ah Zhao suddenly brings it up .
His first reaction is to deny it as quickly as possible!
He doesn't know why he has that idea but anyway, he doesn’t want to bring up such a topic in front of Senior Zhao .
He shakes his head: “Though I have an engagement, I haven't seen that Lady Feng since her family isn't happy about this engagement . ”
He suddenly asks curiously: “Senior Zhao, how do you know that?”
Instinctively, Ah Zhao wants to tell him she gets it from her calculation but gives up remembering that disturbing skill of hers .
“Well, I’ll know what I want to know . ” She says with the greatest of care then looks up at the sky, holding her breath in concentration .
Good, the sun is shining brightly .
Clearly, what she just said doesn't belong to “acting pretentious” .
Gu Hao suddenly laughs and says: “I thought you were going to say you got it from your calculations, Senior Zhao . ”
He has found out a long time ago whenever Senior Zhao doesn’t want to answer his question or doesn’t have a good answer for his question, she would come up with something to fool him, which doesn’t fit her image of a master who is out of this world at all .
The longer he is with Senior Zhao, the more he finds that an intriguing soul hides under her distant look .
Ah Zhao: “ . . . ” Good for you that you know me so well .
In a word, no matter Gu Hao is willing to or not, he has to deal with his engagement, after all .
The two leave the Burning Valley where they have stayed for two years and are on their way back to Ancient City .
Both Ah Zhao and Gu Hao travels fast . In three days, they have arrived in Ancient City .
They don’t go back the Gu Clan directly . Gu Hao gets a cloak for himself as well and the two of them go to the largest inn in Ancient City .
Gu Hao has deep impression of this place, from where, his life started to take a different course .
Of course, he still remembers hitting its ground and making a pit, because of which, he owed Senior Zhao a large sum of money .
Ah Zhao recalls that as well .
Right now, she has ordered a table of delicacies . Knocking on the table, she says: “Starting from two years ago, you've owed me a lot of money, boy . ”
Gu Hao smiles: “Senior Zhao, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life and try my best to pay you back . ”
He knows well that money is nothing to Senior Zhao .
What’s most valuable are those opportunities and her sincerity that she has given him .
