Capítulo 288: Chapter 288 'Friends Come from Afar

Gu Youyou was about to get up to open the door when Jin Zijin held her back.

His voice lowered, he said, "Don't move, I'll go."

"Thud thud thud..." The knocking on the door resumed.

Jin Zijin walked to the courtyard door in a few steps and through the door's crack, he saw the person outside.

"It's him!" he muttered under his breath.

He spoke so softly that Gu Youyou wasn't supposed to hear, but she did and asked with surprise, "Who is it?"

Jin Zijin was taken aback and turned to look at Gu Youyou.

She heard him? He thought only he should have been able to hear what he said.

The continuous thudding at the door did not allow him to ponder any further, instead, he reached out and opened the door.

As the courtyard door swung open, the visitor revealed his true face.

It was a man dressed in dark robes, with no particular features except for his overly pale complexion.

Upon seeing Jin Zijin, the man grinned, displaying his bright red gums in a somewhat sinister manner.
