Chapter 505: Be More Confident, I'm Talking About You

The courtyard was square and clean. There were no flowers or trees, and even no large water tanks that most people would put in the courtyard.

Gu Fei guessed that this was probably because they were afraid that someone might hide inside.

The courtyard was very quiet.

There were five main rooms in a row, and a room on the right side of the main hall was lit.

The two crouched and sneaked to the side room, went around the back of the house, and lay under the window.

Then they heard a clear male voice in the room, "Go down, you don't need to serve here."

"Yes, sir." The servant responded, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

After a long while, a voice suddenly came from the room, "Come in, both of you."

Xiao Yu and Gu Fei looked at each other, and Gu Fei pointed at herself and lip-synced, "Is he talking about us?"

Another low voice came from the room, "Friends outside the window, come in, don't doubt it, he's talking about you."

"Don't worry, there's no ambush in the room."

Gu Fei looked at Xiao Yu, "Do you want to go in?"

Xiao Yu smiled, "Since you're here, what are you afraid of?" He stretched out his hand to prop up the window, and Gu Fei flipped in and saw a handsome young man sitting in a wheelchair, who was looking at them calmly.

Gu Fei smiled awkwardly at him, "Good evening, young master."

Xue Chen smiled at Gu Fei, "Good evening, young lady."

Xiao Yu closed the window with his backhand, "I wonder when Young Master Xue found us?"

Xue Chen extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "If you two are not in a hurry to kill Xue, you might as well sit down and talk."

"I haven't seen outsiders for a long time."

Xiao Yu and Gu Fei both followed suit and found a place to sit down.

Xue Chen then said, "I knew it from the moment you walked behind the window."

Xiao Yu bowed, "Young Master Xue has extraordinary hearing, I admire you."

Xue Chen smiled faintly, "It's just a few years, sitting with your eyes closed every day, this hearing has naturally been trained."

"Where are you from?"

Xiao Yu and Gu Fei didn't answer.

Xue Chen smiled again, "I've been talking too much. Actually, you two don't need to worry about anything. I won't live for more than a moment anyway."

"Just take my life, and I'll be grateful to you for letting me go."

Gu Fei said, "Who said we want your life? We're here to discuss business with you."

Xue Chen was slightly moved, "Talk about business?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a useless person. You want to discuss business, but you've come to the wrong place."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "Yes, we're looking for you."

"Mr. Xue, in your prime years, are you willing to spend your life quietly in this courtyard?"

"Are you willing to let Ruyi Tower fall into the hands of an outsider?"

Xue Chen looked at Xiao Yu, "There is no such thing as being willing or unwilling. I am a useless person. I have long lost the desire to fight for power and profit, and I don't care about Ruyi Tower at all."

"Besides, my brother-in-law is now managing Ruyi Tower very well. In my heart, my brother-in-law is like my own brother. How can he be an outsider?"

Gu Fei curled her lips, "Mr. Xue, if you say so, then we can't talk."

She blinked, "Can't we be honest?"

Xue Chen said lightly, "I am telling the truth. I wonder what the lady thinks is honest?"

Xiao Yu raised his hand, "It seems that the young master doesn't trust us."

"Of course, if the young master trusts us so easily, he is not worthy of being the young master of Ruyi Tower."
