Since he now understood why Gu Ce feared him, Ling Chen looked toward Gu Ce and said with a faint smile, "How am I supposed to save you?"
On hearing this, Gu Ce was overjoyed: "Please, Young Master, just take me to see Miss Luo."
"Hehe."
Ling Chen smiled faintly.
Even he didn't know where Luo Luo was—so how could he take Gu Ce to her?
"Young Master, as long as you take me, I am willing to obey your every order!"
Seeing that Ling Chen seemed reluctant, Gu Ce hurriedly added.
He had thought that the mark was removed by that master in the Royal Capital, but he hadn't expected it was merely hidden away.
Moreover, that master then demanded that Gu Ce serve him as a price for helping.
If it had truly been removed, Gu Ce would not have said a word and would have obeyed without question.
After all, that would be a life-saving favor.
But now…
He couldn't help but resent that master in his heart.
"Obey my orders?"
Ling Chen's gaze sharpened, and he was moved.
