Chapter 76 My damn charm

Gu Mingchuan looked down at the ground, pretending not to hear the conversation between Xue Ruoyu and Shang Tiancheng.

Who is this Zhao Feiyang?
It just so happened that Shang Tiancheng told him a few days ago that his father was a Grand Secretary of the current dynasty, who was deeply favored by the young emperor and might become a big shot in the cabinet in the next few years.

In the past, the Zhao family was not considered a very big family in Jiangzhou, but it is hard to say what it will be like in the future.

This Zhao Feiyang is extremely talented. He follows the path of martial arts and is a disciple of a powerful person in the Dharma Image Realm. He is a top genius among Dharma Image Realm figures.

If Xue Ruoyu really killed him at the wedding, it would be a lot of fun.

Gu Mingchuan was thinking when he felt someone was looking at him.

It’s Yuzi.

He thought to himself that he had learned his lesson from last time and even his body odor had changed. Could she still recognize him?
……

Shang Tiancheng felt very difficult, because he knew his cousin's personality very well, and knew that she could do what she said.

He could only persuade her earnestly, "Xiao Yu, if you really do this, it will kill many people. What about your aunt? What about your uncle? What about the Xue family..."

Xue Ruoyu said calmly, "I've already said that I don't want to marry him. Since you guys didn't listen, I can only do it my way."

Shang Tiancheng got angry when he heard this and scolded, "Xiao Yu, you are not a child anymore, you can't be so willful. Everything you have now, which one was not given to you by the family?"

"After killing him, I will end my life and give an explanation to the Zhao family."

Shang Tiancheng opened his mouth, feeling very upset, "Why are you doing this?"

"Brother Hou is no longer with us. There is no point for me to live in this world."

Xue Ruoyu's eyes slowly turned red as she spoke, "I know that Brother Hou's spirit in heaven would definitely not want to see me commit suicide. He would hope that I would live a safe and smooth life without any illness or disaster."

"If I can't marry Brother Hou in this life, how can I marry someone else? If you insist on forcing me, I will have no choice but to kill that person."

Gu Mingchuan was stunned.

So she wanted to kill her fiancé because of me?

No, what does it have to do with me?

I just saved her once, I didn't do anything else.

At this moment, a faint sigh reached his ears, "Master Gu, can you bear to watch her die for you?"

It’s Yuzi’s voice!

Gu Mingchuan's scalp felt numb.

How did this woman recognize me?
He raised his head and looked at Yu Zi with a puzzled look.

"She must be trying to trick me."

The voice transmission continued, "Master Gu, do you know why she tortured me like this? It's because you and I were too intimate last time in Xiaoyue Tower."

"She said that when she died, she would take me with her. She asked me to go downstairs and serve you. If you don't help me, I will have no choice but to tell her your true identity in order to protect myself."

"..."

Gu Mingchuan was silenced.

I have to say that she is indeed very loyal and has never told Xue Ruoyu that Hou Longtao is Gu Mingchuan.

Otherwise, Xue Ruoyu would have come to the door long ago.

Judging from her appearance, she probably doesn't know that Gu Mingchuan is being hunted by the Demon Suppression Division.

That's right, if this matter gets out and Su Lingshuang knows about it, she will definitely not let it go. The Demon Suppression Division will naturally not act in a high-profile manner.

Gu Mingchuan scratched his head and couldn't think of any good solution for a moment.

Yu Zi stopped transmitting messages and lowered her head, not looking in his direction.

……

At night, Shang Tiancheng came to Gu Mingchuan and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Chu. Please keep what happened this afternoon a secret."

Gu Mingchuan said solemnly, "Don't worry, Chu is not a talkative person, and what happened today will never be revealed."

"It's really a sin from a previous life. My cousin was in danger and was rescued by someone, so she fell in love with him. Originally, she knew that the gap between our status was too big and there was no possibility for us. She had decided to cut off the relationship. But someone got into trouble and we don't know whether he's alive or dead. After she found out about this, she became what she is now."

Shang Tiancheng said this and sighed deeply.

Gu Mingchuan could only sigh.

To be honest, he has lived two lifetimes, but there has never been a woman who is willing to die for him. This feeling is very subtle.

On the one hand, I felt secretly happy.

On the other hand, I feel this feeling is quite heavy.

If I really want to marry her, how can I go out to play with people in the future? How can I flirt with the beautiful maid at home? How can I have an affair with other chivalrous women?
If he really did it, wouldn't she be furious?
How much fun is missing from life. Gu Mingchuan thought of this and sighed again, "My damn charm."

……

The next day, Shang Tiancheng came personally to pick up Gu Mingchuan and went to the venue of the Soul-stealing Battle.

This is a grand event for the entire Jiangzhou.

However, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. For them, this competition is too high-end.

The location was the old lady's mansion. When the carriage drove into the gate, Gu Mingchuan was a little surprised. The building in front of him was a palace.

Shang Tiancheng at the side said with a smile, "Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first came here. In fact, this was the palace of a prince of the previous dynasty. Later, it became the emperor's temporary palace in Jiangzhou. When the previous emperor visited Jiangzhou, he lived here. Later, this temporary palace was given to the old lady."

Gu Mingchuan became even more curious about the old lady, "What kind of person is she?"

"She looks like a kind old lady. You will know when you meet her later."

After entering the gate, there is a huge training ground, which is as large as several football fields.

This is Jiangzhou City. Land is not cheap, but it is not cheap at all. This large area is enough to build a lot of houses. It is no problem to accommodate several thousand people.

From a distance, you can see a magnificent palace.

Gu Mingchuan felt that this old lady was even more unfathomable. Why would the royal family give a palace of this size to an old lady?
Just because she was the wet nurse to the old emperor?
However, the one in power at that time was the current Queen Mother. What does this have to do with the Queen Mother?
The carriage could not drive in, so the two men got off the carriage, met up with Shang Tianci in front, and walked towards the palace together.

Almost all the people from major forces in Jiangzhou City came to the palace.

The Jiang family, the Xue family, the Pan family, the Baiyun clan...

Even the governor, who is the ruler of a state, was present in person.

As soon as Gu Mingchuan stepped into the hall, he felt a sense of fear.

In the hall, there were at least thirty people who could make him feel a huge sense of oppression. These people were all strong men above the Shenzang realm.

There were also two hidden auras as deep as the ocean, which gave him a feeling very similar to Yu Huaiyi.

They should be two people in the Dharma Image Realm.

And sitting in the main seat was an old lady with white hair and chicken skin. She sat there with her eyelids drooping as if she was dozing off.

This should be the old lady in the legend.

She does look like an elderly lady.

He knew the two women sitting next to her. The one on the left was Miss Qin'er from Xiaoyue Tower, and the one on the right was Xue Ruoyu.

It felt strange to have a prostitute appear in such an occasion.

Shang Tiancheng saw that he looked strange, so he asked through voice transmission, "What's wrong?"

"Who is that woman?"

"Miss Qin'er."

"Isn't she an oiran?"

"Her piano skills are very much loved by the old lady, who often invites her to her residence. It is precisely because of this that she has a special status in Xiaoyue Tower."

"But, I heard that she wasn't given to someone..."

"That is someone else's good fortune, which cannot be envied. It is said that she owed the Jiang family a huge favor, and she went to serve Gu Mingchuan to repay the favor. Now that the favor is over, no one can force her to do such a thing."

"I see."

Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but give Jiang Yihong a thumbs up in his heart.

He is really willing to repay the favor!

……

Miss Qin'er suddenly felt a familiar evil gaze, and she felt tense somewhere. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze, but did not see the familiar figure.

"Ok?"

At this time, the dozing old lady woke up, and seeing that she looked strange, she asked, "Qin'er, what's wrong?"

Miss Qin Er forced a smile and said, "Old Lady, everyone is here. Is it time to start?"

"Is everyone here?"

The old lady raised her head and looked with her dim eyes. She waved her hand, and a middle-aged female official behind her stepped forward and said loudly, "The time has come. This year's Soul Seizing Battle has officially begun."

PS: I will go to Sanjiang tomorrow, please give me a monthly ticket.
