754th Break: Mysterious

"Wait, boss… what are you saying?" Qiu Shisan asked, looking puzzled. "You already know that Shijiu is from the Fa Duan Kingdom?" he was surprised.

Meng Xing looked at him. "Or else?" he said and carelessly shrugged. "I hire people, so shouldn't I at least know their origin?" he asked.

Qiu Shisan grimaced. "Right…" he nodded in agreement. Even he kept a secret about himself being the next leader of the Wu Sect in the south. Fortunately, Meng Xing kept it a secret for him. "So, what exactly happened to Shijiu?" he glanced at Qiu Shijiu who fell silent. "How did he end up here, while his cousin became a shadow guard?" he asked Meng Xing.

"Are you willing to tell him?" Meng Xing didn't answer and just looked at Qiu Shijiu.

Qiu Shijiu pressed his lips into a thin line. Then, he sighed in defeat. "I'll tell him." He said in resignation.
