Volume One, Chapter 138: Joint Suppression(1/2)
When he noticed Zeng Bai's eyes falling on him, Gu Xiao felt something bad. When he heard Zeng Bai calling him, his head started to hurt.
But Zeng Bai's voice had already caused the eyes of the entire hall to fall on him. In full view of everyone, they could only sigh helplessly and reluctantly walked to Zeng Bai's side.
"Everyone, this little brother Gu is the bodyguard I have found for my little girl."
this……
As soon as Zeng Bai finished speaking, everyone was shocked and quickly looked at Gu Xiaolai.
But when they found out that Gu Xiao only had the first level of magical power, their mouths twitched and they looked at each other with weird expressions.
Only Dong Hongchang, after hearing Zeng Bai's words, first showed confusion, and then became angry.
"Uncle Zeng, who is this guy? Why have I never seen him before?"
"Hongchang, this little brother Gu is my guest at Jubaoxuan. In terms of status, he is still above you. Why are you so rude?!"
Jubaoxuan guest guest!
Zeng Bai's words made everyone take a breath of cold air, especially those who looked down on Gu Xiao after seeing that Gu Xiao only had the first level of supernatural power, and even broke out in cold sweat.
"Uncle Zeng, you are not mistaken! This boy is so young and his cultivation is only at the first level of supernatural power. How can he be a guest? I don't believe it!"
Dong Hongchang questioned with disbelief, and his words were recognized by most people.
Hearing Dong Hongchang's question, Zeng Bai, who had been smiling before, suddenly turned cold. Everyone felt that the temperature of the entire hall had dropped a bit, and they suddenly felt awe-inspiring.
Dong Hongchang was the closest and felt the deepest. After his expression changed, he quickly lowered his head: "Uncle Zeng, I'm sorry! It was Hongchang who made a mistake."
Dong Hongchang quickly admitted his mistake, which allowed Zeng Bai's expression to return to normal, and the temperature in the hall returned to normal.
"Now that you have identified the person, please go back to your cabin!"
As soon as Zeng Bai finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and stopped staying any longer. They hurriedly said goodbye and left in an orderly manner.
After a while, most of the people had left, but Bai Qifan, Chen Keyan and Shen Suhua were left at the end.
Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Chen Gaoyan walked up to Gu Xiao with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.
"Brother Gu, this is Chen Keyan, nice to meet you."
Chen Keyan's actions made Bai Qifan and Shen Suhua's expressions change slightly.
Looking down at Chen Keyan's outstretched hand, Gu Xiao frowned slightly, with a slight hesitation on his face.
Seeing this hesitation, Chen Koyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, don't think too much. I just want to make friends with Brother Gu, but I have no other intentions."
The more you say you don’t have any thoughts, the more you think about it!
After Gu Xiao muttered something in his mind, he twitched his lips: "Sorry, I prefer to be alone and don't really like to make friends."
After saying that, Gu Xiao turned to Zeng Bai, bowed slightly and left the hall directly.
"Ha! Oops! There are some people! Tsk, tsk!"
As soon as Gu Xiao left, a strange voice echoed in the hall.
And this voice made Chen Keyan, who was already angry because of Gu Xiao's attitude, lose control and turned around to glare at Bai Qifan.
But in the face of Chen Keyan's angry look, Bai Qifan seemed not to notice. He led a group of followers and walked straight to Zeng Bai. After greeting Zeng Bai, he also left the hall.
This sheer disregard almost made Chen Keyan angry.
Bai Qifan, waiting to enter the Glazed Light Secret Realm...
Staring at Bai Qifan's departing back, a terrifying murderous intent appeared in Chen Koyan's eyes, but before Chen Koyan could stare for long, a beautiful figure floated across his eyes.
"Mr. Zeng, can I ask, which cabin was the guest guest just now?"
What?!
Chen Keyan's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Suhua with a puzzled expression.
Not to mention Chen Keyan, even Dong Hongchang, Zeng Ruoling, and even Zeng Bai showed confusion.
But Zeng Bai was older after all, and he was the first to react. After a brief pause, he informed Shen Suhua of Gu Xiao's cabin number.
Then, Zeng Bai laughed and said: "We are all young people. It's good to move around more. We have many friends and many paths! Haha!"
Zeng Bai's words were somewhat joking, but Shen Suhua smiled sweetly after hearing this: "What Zeng Keqing said is true! Then Suhua resigned first."
After Shen Suhua finished speaking, she walked out of the hall with lotus steps. However, she didn't know that what she said before leaving made Chen Koyan's face turn extremely dark.
Seeing Shen Suhua's leaving figure, Zeng Bai squinted his eyes and then turned his head to look at Zeng Ruoling.
"Ruoling, when the ship sails normally, you can go and walk around with little brother Gu."
What?!
The expression on Chen Keyan's face before was perfectly reproduced on Dong Hongchang's face.
After hearing this, Zeng Ruoling frowned slightly, but did not refute and nodded.
Seeing Zeng Ruoling agree, Zeng Bai said nothing more and turned around and left the hall.
"Ruoling, do you really want to go out with that kid?"
As soon as Zeng Bai left, Dong Hongchang couldn't wait to ask questions, but the slightly ferocious expression on his face and the questioning tone made Zeng Ruoling frown.
"This is my father's request, and I naturally have to comply with it."
After saying this, Zeng Ruoling walked away directly, but did not see Dong Hongchang, who had heard this sentence, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
"Brother Dong, it seems that we have a lot to say between us!"
Dong Hongchang's chest rose and fell more and more, and he heard a voice coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw Chen Keyan with a sinister look on his face.
Frowning, Dong Hongchang put on his arrogant look again and asked in a cold voice: "What do you mean?"
Although Dong Hongchang's arrogant attitude made Chen Gaoyan a little unhappy, he still chuckled and said: "Brother Dong is already the deacon of Jubaoxuan at a young age, and he and Miss Zeng are even more talented and beautiful..."
Chen Keyan paused and observed Dong Hongchang's reaction. When he saw the cold light in Dong Hongchang's eyes, he raised his eyebrows.
"It's a pity that compared to Brother Dong, Zeng Keqing seems to be more interested in the 'little brother Gu' he calls, rather than you, Brother Dong!"
After Chen Keyan finished speaking, he smiled. This smile immediately angered Dong Hongchang.
But just when Dong Hongchang was about to take action, Chen Keyan realized that there was something in his words. He frowned and said, "What on earth do you want to say?!"
Seeing that Dong Hongchang seemed to understand what he meant, Chen Keyan also changed his expression to a sinister expression: "It's very simple. We have the same goal and can 'cooperate' in the Glazed Light Secret Realm!"
Chen Keyan meant the word "cooperation" very seriously. Dong Hongchang was not a fool either. After thinking about it for a moment, he narrowed his eyes.
Then Dong Hongchang sneered, gave Chen Keyan a knowing look, and left the hall.
It happened that at this time, the ship shook for a while, but it had already set sail. After Chen Keyan chuckled twice, he returned to his cabin.
After drinking tea for about a while, the ship stopped rocking, and slowly someone came out of the cabin.
At this time, Gu Xiao also opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that the ship would shake so violently when it set sail..."
"Hey! Master, this is already good for you, but you don't know that the ones on the bottom floor are all vomiting. The smell... Ouch!"
Di Kui's "Ouch" was full of disgust and disgust. When Gu Xiao heard this, an indescribable picture appeared in his mind unconsciously, and his body trembled.
He quickly shook his head to dispel the image in his mind, but he didn't know if the association just had a psychological effect, but Gu Xiao actually smelled a sour smell.
"Next time, be careful and don't pry into these boring things!"
Suddenly being scolded by Gu Xiao, Di Kui was immediately stunned. When he reacted and wanted to say something, he noticed someone approaching.
"Master, someone is coming."
Huh? Someone is coming?!
Gu Xiao frowned, and just as he stood up, he heard a sound like a drum coming from the door.
Such a rude knock on the door made Gu Xiao's face immediately darken.
Could it be that Chen Keyan holds a grudge because of my ignorance and is here to seek revenge?!
This idea came to mind, and the more Gu Xiao thought about it, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible. He couldn't help but hold his forehead, with a headache on his face.
DONG DONG DONG!!
The knock on the door came again and became more and more urgent. Gu Xiao's face turned cold and he stepped forward to open the door. When he saw the person in front of the door, he was stunned.
Because the person standing in front of the door was not Chen Keyan as Gu Xiao thought, but Yue Buhuo, the eldest son of the Yue family!
What is this guy doing here?!
"Are you the new guest minister of Jubaoxuan?"
When Gu Xiao was confused, Yue Buhuo spoke. After saying this, he looked at Gu Xiao from top to bottom.
"Sure enough, you have the first level of magical power, so it's not that bad! Boy, how did you get the appreciation of Jubaoxuan?!"
this……
Yue Buhuo's nonsense words immediately stunned Gu Xiao, who didn't react for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Xiao didn't speak for a long time, Yue Buhuo couldn't help but frowned, and then snorted softly.
