Volume 1, Chapter 179: Nine-turn Golden Elixir(1/2)
"Unexpectedly, after Senior Lan Feng left, even the efficiency of making talismans dropped by 30%..."
When the time was approaching, Gu Xiao frowned and sighed slightly.
"But it's okay, this is actually a good thing for the training of spiritual thoughts."
Taking a gentle breath, Gu Xiao put down the pen in his hand and looked at the two ascending talismans made on the table, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Haste makes waste, so Gu Xiao decided to practice overnight to recover and wait until tomorrow to see if he could make an aquatic wood fusion talisman.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the Imperial City is stronger than that in other places, it is still better than nothing.
Early the next morning, Gu Xiao was awakened by a knock on the door. He felt that the person outside the room was Cheng Qinghe, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Cheng, it's not a good habit to disturb my dreams so early in the morning."
As soon as he opened the door, Gu Xiao scolded Cheng Qinghe in a joking tone.
However, Cheng Qinghe didn't seem to notice that he was being scolded. As soon as Gu Xiao finished speaking, his face showed anxiety.
"Little friend, your father-in-law and his family are here."
Hmm?! My father-in-law’s family?
After a brief daze, Gu Xiao finally realized that this was referring to Lin Wenbin and Meng Rong, as well as Lin Xueyu's useless brother Lin Feiying.
Weren't they arrested? Why did they come to Prince Jin's Mansion?!
"They are in your wife's room now, you'd better go and have a look!"
Gu Xiao nodded and hurriedly walked to Lin Xueyu's room, but before he reached Lin Xueyu's door, he heard the sound of something being thrown.
"Stinky girl! How many times do I have to tell you before you realize that, compared to Gu Xiao, you definitely have a better future by following the second prince!"
Hearing Meng Rong's sharp voice, Gu Xiao couldn't help but his face darkened. He ducked to the door, stretched out his hand to push the door open, but was suddenly stopped.
Somehow, he suddenly had the idea of knowing Lin Xueyu's true thoughts.
"Mom, if Zuo Qiu Mao's purpose in letting you come back is to persuade me, then I can tell you clearly that I will never marry him!"
Although Lin Xueyu's voice was cold, her tone was extremely firm. After hearing these words, Meng Rong's face immediately became very ugly.
But at this time, Lin Feiying snorted coldly: "Huh! Sister, I can also tell you clearly that I have received the benefits of the second prince. You have to marry now, whether you want to marry or not!"
"What did you say?!" Lin Xueyu's eyes widened with disbelief and extreme anger on her face.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Then I'll emphasize it again. I accepted the benefits of the second prince, so you have to marry me now..."
Snap!
With a crisp slap, Lin Feiying's words stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of tables and chairs being knocked over.
"Smelly girl, are you crazy?!"
Meng Rong screamed, walked up to Lin Feiying in three steps, and helped Lin Feiying up with a distressed look on her face.
And after seeing Lin Feiying's swollen cheeks, the distress on Meng Rong's face turned into fierceness.
"Stinky girl, he is your biological brother, how could you do this! Are you..."
"Enough!"
Meng Rong was mid-sentence when she was interrupted by Lin Wenbin, who had been silent.
When her words were interrupted, Meng Rong became angry and turned to look at Lin Wenbin. Just when she was about to speak, she saw Lin Wenbin's gloomy face. She choked on her words. Then she trembled and started to greet Lin Feiying.
.
When Lin Wenbin saw this, his expression became slightly better, and then he looked at Lin Xueyu.
"Xue Yu, we are not forcing you, but you must understand that your uncle is gone, and so is Lin Pan. If your grandfather has another misfortune, then the Lin family will really be doomed!"
Compared to the seemingly unreasonable pressure from Meng Rong and Lin Feiying, Lin Wenbin's words were obviously more useful to Lin Xueyu.
Seeing that Lin Xueyu's expression was a little shaken, Lin Wenbin continued: "Furthermore, you should know in your heart what the second prince's purpose is for doing this. Do you really want to put the entire Lin family in ruins because of an outsider?!"
As soon as Lin Wenbin finished speaking, Lin Xueyu trembled and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she showed a tangled expression and remained silent.
However, Lin Xueyu, who was entangled with himself, did not notice that at this time, Lin Wenbin's mouth evoked a subtle and sinister smile.
"Xue Yu, the second prince has promised that as soon as Gu Xiao dies, he will immediately release his father and support the Lin family to become the fifth largest family in the imperial city. But if he continues to resist... the second prince has surrendered to Gu Qilin, what can you do?
If you think about it clearly, provoking him is equivalent to putting the Lin family on the fire!"
After Lin Wenbin finished speaking, he seemed to want to completely shake Lin Xueyu, with a look of desolation and heartache on his face.
But Lin Wenbin didn't expect that Lin Xueyu, who had a troubled face before, would tremble after hearing Gu Qilin's name, and the troubles on his face would disappear.
"Father, do you know why I would rather beg for help than protect Gu Xiao from death?"
Lin Xueyu suddenly spoke, and Lin Wenbin didn't react to the sudden jump in content.
"Gu Qilin's purpose in destroying my Dantian was to make me hate Gu Xiao and to use the Lin family's help to eradicate him. I protect him just to let him live well. I believe that one day, he will become someone who can never be removed from Gu Qilin's heart.
The sting!"
Lin Xueyu's voice was full of hatred and determination, and when Gu Xiao outside the door heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
I see……
It was at this moment that Gu Xiao's heart suddenly became enlightened.
"And now, Gu Xiao's rapid growth has made me even more determined on this idea! Therefore, in order to take revenge, there is absolutely no way I will let Gu Xiao die, even if it costs my life and the entire Lin family!"
Lin Xueyu's sonorous tone and resolute attitude made the three of them stand on the spot in shock.
Gu Xiao, who was outside the door, lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then turned around and left.
"Small……"
Cheng Qinghe raised his hand, wanting to stop Gu Xiao, but in the end he put his hand away and sighed slightly.
He heard what he just said, and was also shocked by Lin Xueyu's words.
But he also knew in his heart that Lin Xueyu's words were really a bit... to Gu Xiao...
Cheng Qinghe's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly followed Gu Xiao. As soon as he reached Gu Xiao's side, he quickly said: "Little friend, please don't think too much, maybe..."
"I know."
Gu Xiao interrupted Cheng Qinghe, and his indifferent tone made Cheng Qinghe stunned.
"Mr. Cheng, the plan to save people may have to change."
Cheng Qinghe was stunned again. After a moment, he looked solemn and nodded silently.
Gu Xiao paused and thought for a while, then whispered something into Cheng Qinghe's ear, then returned to his room and made the talisman as if nothing had happened.
It was not until evening that Gu Xiao stopped writing and looked at the door.
"Gu Xiao, I... have something to ask you."
Hearing Lin Xueyu's voice, Gu Xiao took a breath and opened the door.
When I looked into my eyes, I saw that Lin Xueyu was a little haggard, with a little tangle on his face, and I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart.
"If you have any questions, just tell me and I will definitely help you if I can do it."
Lin Xueyu trembled, and the confusion on his face became more and more obvious, but soon, Lin Xueyu pursed his lips and said, "You and I have never been out together. How about we go to the Huangcheng Night Market together?"
Visit the night market...
Gu Xiao was immediately stunned.
Seeing Gu Xiao stunned, Lin Xueyu pursed her lips again and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
After saying that, Lin Xueyu turned around and left.
"That's fine. I've grown up and haven't visited the night market yet, so let's go shopping together."
Just as he turned around, Gu Xiao spoke, and before he finished speaking, he was already at Lin Xueyu's side.
Lin Xueyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Xiao, and found a gentle smile on Gu Xiao's face.
This touch of tenderness made Lin Xueyu tremble, and for some reason, she felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
But as soon as the sweetness rose, Lin Xueyu's expression froze, and then she quickly turned her head as if she thought of something.
"Are you really willing? Even if... there is danger?"
Lin Xueyu's words made Gu Xiao raise his eyebrows.
"What danger can there be in visiting the night market? Let's go!"
After Gu Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward first, but he didn't see Lin Xueyu behind him. He stretched out his hand towards him, then retracted it as fast as lightning, with an unusually tangled look on his face.
But Gu Xiao's figure was about to disappear, and Lin Xueyu could only grit his teeth and follow quickly.
After leaving Prince Jin's Mansion, Gu Xiao walked directly to the night market without stopping for a moment.
After arriving at the night market, he saw that the night market was extremely lively. Gu Xiao was very interested. Every time he passed a stall, he would be polite to the boss.
"This hairpin is pretty good..."
"The color of this rouge suits you very well..."
