Zhao Ci's hysterical roar startled even Gu Xiangzhu.
'Why is he yelling so loud?'
She looked at the bloodshot veins in his eyes, not doubting for a second that he would have attacked her if he weren't tied up.
However, she wasn't angry. She just said coolly, "What good would tricking you do me?"
"Obviously, you want to trick the Alcohol Refining Technique out of me!"
Zhao Ci glared at her. "Well, I can tell you right now, you can forget it! I'll take this technique to my grave before I give it to you!"
Gu Xiangzhu smiled faintly and retorted, "You think I have no way of finding out if you don't tell me?"
Zhao Ci snorted. "If you have a way, then why are you wasting so much time talking to me?"
Gu Xiangzhu shook her head, pulled over a chair, and unhurriedly put her palace robes back on. Only after sitting down did she look at Zhao Ci with a half-smile. "Tell me… if I value your technique so much, why did I dare to try and kill you just now?"
