Chapter 1486

Duke Ning's principle had always been, if you don't work for me, you will be killed by me!

No matter how much he admired Gu Qingze, the moment Gu Qingze rejected him, the first thought that surged in his heart was: Kill him!

This secret room looked empty and there was nothing special about it, but the four walls, ceiling, and floor were all covered in hidden weapons. As long as he gently waved his hand, the hidden weapons coming from all directions would turn Gu Qingze into a porcupine.

His finger was already on the hidden weapon switch. As long as he pressed it, Gu Qingze would have no chance of surviving.

But seeing the other side's cold eyes looking at him, for some reason, Duke Ning's heart skipped a beat and his finger could not press it.

He stared fixedly at Gu Qingze, and Gu Qingze stared back at him without showing any weakness. Their gazes met in the air, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in Duke Ning's heart. He not only wanted to use and admire this young man in front of him, but also had an indescribable palpitation.

It was precisely this indescribable throbbing that made him want to do his utmost to rope in Gu Qingze, even to the extent that he didn't hesitate to take the initiative to betroth his daughter to Gu Qingze in order to achieve his goal. He wholeheartedly wanted to make Gu Qingze one of his own, but Gu Qingze refused him without any reason.

"Why? Why does he resist marrying Zhao Rong like this? If he doesn't want anything from me, why would he come to my banquet? Why doesn't he ask anyone else for a promise and instead asks me for one? He clearly wants something from me! "

Duke Ning's heart quickly turned with countless thoughts.

He had invited Gu Qingze to the banquet as a test. If Gu Qingze did not come and rejected him like the other ministers, Duke Ning would not be surprised, but he had come!

This was enough to show that Gu Qingze looked at him, Duke Ning, differently!

Duke Ning believed that his judgement was not wrong, this was also the reason why he dared to propose marriage to Gu Qingze.

Looking at West Chu, with Duke Ning's position, other than the emperor, it was him. If Gu Qingze wanted a backer, who else could it be but him!

But to his surprise, Gu Qingze didn't even spare a glance at the embroidered ball he threw out.

Could it be that he really didn't like Zhao Rong? Did he already have someone in his heart? The person he loved couldn't be his disciple, Chen Ning, right?

Duke Ning's mind turned and his eyes fell onto his daughter.

Although he saw Chen Ning as a thorn in his side, he had to admit that Zhao Rong was inferior to Chen Ning in every aspect. If he was Gu Qingze, he would not choose Zhao Rong.

He was suddenly a bit discouraged and waved his hand.

"Zhao Rong, leave first."

Zhao Rong Junzhu didn't want to stay here for a long time. Hearing this, she angrily glared at Gu Qingze and retreated behind the veil. With a creaking sound, she had already exited the secret room.

Gu Qingze finally found out that there was a secret door behind the veil.

Ever since he entered this secret chamber, he had been on high alert. With his level of understanding of mechanisms, he could naturally tell that this seemingly empty and ordinary secret chamber was filled with hidden mechanisms and killing intent, but he was not afraid at all.

In fact, he even hoped to see High Duke Ning activate his mechanism, and he would be able to compete with him. He wanted to see if High Duke Ning's mechanism was more powerful, or if Gu Qingze's hidden weapons were more tyrannical!
