Chapter 77: Can't Keep a Low Profile

Gu Yuan watched this scene and secretly laughed in his heart.

My younger brother is so innocent. If he knew that his childhood sweetheart was an officer of the underworld and often dealt with demons and monsters...

He'd probably cry, right? After all, although Gu Jing thought it was cool that Gu Yuan could see ghosts, he was actually quite timid.

I can't even watch horror movies.

The meal was finally completed without any incident.

When it was time to pay the bill, Lin Xiaoqian came over in person with a charming smile: "Are you all satisfied with your meal?"

“Very satisfied!”

Ji Chen rushed to answer: "Boss, your food is so delicious! We will come here often in the future!"

Lin Xiaoqian covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes vaguely sweeping over Lu Yi:

"Welcome to come often, you will get a permanent 30% discount."

Lu Yi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and quickly lowered his head.

Gu Yuan clearly saw a hint of imperceptible tenderness flash across Lin Xiaoqian's eyes.

Hmm? Something's up?

Walking out of the restaurant, Lu Yi looked back at the antique signboard, his brows still slightly furrowed.

I made up my mind to find some time to investigate alone.

Li Chuan and Gu Yuan's eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly.

It seems that I need to remind Lin Xiaoqian to avoid getting into trouble with the people from Longhu Mountain.

Although Lin Xiaoqian has practiced for thousands of years and is not afraid of a small Taoist priest, she has to do business in the human world after all, and it will not be good for anyone if the matter gets out of hand.

Gu Jing held Li Chuan's hand and planned where to go next.

hehe!

Gu Yuan sneered in his heart. Who wants to play with them? He wants to go home and lie down!

Today's meal had already made him extremely exhausted. He had to pretend that he didn't know Li Chuan's identity, and at the same time prevent Lu Yi from discovering the abnormality in the restaurant. He was simply a double agent.

"Brother! It's still early. How about we go to the movies later?" Gu Jing asked with blinking eyes.

"No, don't you have classes this afternoon? I want to go home."

Gu Yuan ruthlessly refused and glanced at the time: "Besides, I feel a little uncomfortable."

This isn't exactly a lie.

He had been feeling tired and weak since a while ago, and all he wanted to do was fall asleep.

It was all Ji Yunzhou’s fault for staying up too late last night... He couldn’t keep up with that guy’s physical strength.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jing immediately became worried: "Should we go to the hospital?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after going home and taking a nap." Gu Yuan waved his hand quickly.

Are you kidding me? Going to the hospital for something like this?

Isn’t it so embarrassing?

Li Chuan glanced at Gu Yuan and said nothing.

Jichen was completely immersed in the joy of getting the restaurant VIP status and was busy showing off on his Moments.

A group of people just walked to the roadside

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the temperature suddenly dropped by five or six degrees.

"Huh? Why did it suddenly get cold?"

Gu Jing rubbed his arms and leaned closer to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan didn't say anything, but just silently took off his coat and put it on Gu Jing, while looking around vigilantly.

Ordinary humans may not be able to feel it, but he can sense that a powerful yin energy is approaching rapidly.

Gu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart and complained madly:

Ji Yunzhou, you are really sick!!!

At the corner of the street, a black Cullinan slowly drove up.

The car stopped in front of them, and the window slowly lowered, revealing Ji Yunzhou's handsome face.

Angular features, deep eyes, and two thin lips under a high nose bridge.

Wearing a custom-made suit and a valuable Patek Philippe on my wrist, I exude the aura of being rich and awesome.

"Wow, this car is awesome!"

Jichen couldn't help but exclaim: "How much money does this cost!"

Lu Yi frowned. His Taoist intuition made him instinctively wary of the man in the car.

Gu Jing's face changed the first time he saw Ji Yunzhou. This was the man who took his brother away!

Li Chuan rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "Pretending."

The man in the car completely ignored everyone else and locked his eyes directly on Gu Yuan: "Get in the car."

The tone is very domineering.

Gu Yuan's mouth twitched: "Aren't you in a meeting at the company?"

“The work is always done.”

Ji Yunzhou looked at him and said, "Go home and rest."

Gu Jing's instinct to protect his brother was immediately aroused, and he stood in front of Gu Yuan: "If he doesn't go back, he wants to go to the movies with me?"

Ji Yunzhou finally gave Gu Jing a look and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't believe it."

"Hmph!" Gu Jing was so angry that he almost died!

But my brother just rejected his invitation.

Li Chuan quickly grabbed his little cutie and said, "Ah Jing, don't be so rude. Mr. Ji is Yuan's friend after all."

After saying that, he winked at Gu Yuan: Go quickly.

Gu Yuan returned a grateful look: Thank you!

"friend?"

Ji Yunzhou was not very satisfied with Li Chuan's introduction and frowned slightly.

Li Chuan readily changed his words: "Yes, yes, we are very good friends, so good that we can sleep in the same bed together."

Gu Yuan glared at Li Chuan fiercely.

This further ignited Gu Jing's anger: "What good friend! I think he is up to something bad!"

Gu Yuan: "..."

It's not just about having bad intentions, we've been eating, living and sleeping together for a long time, okay!

Ji Yunzhou was obviously impatient and opened the car door and got out.

He is tall and has long legs, and he gives off an oppressive vibe just by standing there.

His eyes swept across everyone, finally landing on Gu Yuan.

"Husband~"

Ji Yunzhou shouted with a smile on his face.

Gu Yuan's scalp tingled, and he quickly rushed over to cover his mouth: "Alright, alright! I'll go home with you, don't bother with the kid."

He really didn't want to see Ji Yunzhou and Gu Jing quarreling like elementary school students anymore.

Gu Yuan waved to everyone: "Well, I'm leaving first, have fun."

Ji Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction, helped Gu Yuan open the car door, and even gentlemanly protected the top of the door with his hands.

Just as Gu Yuan bent down to get in the car, Lu Yi suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Ji Yunzhou's eyes flashed, and the temperature around him dropped a few degrees.

Lu Yi stepped forward, took out a talisman from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yuan:

"Gu Yuan, please carry this with you to keep it safe."

Gu Yuan: "......"

Li Chuan: “…”

Lin Xiaoqian was standing at the door of the restaurant at some point, and couldn't help but cover her face when she saw this scene.

Ji Yunzhou stared at the talisman, a hint of a smile on his lips: "Taoist?"

Lu Yi straightened his back and said, "Lu Yi, a direct disciple of Longhu Mountain."

"Longhu Mountain?"

Ji Yunzhou chuckled: "How is Master Zhang these days?"

Lu Yi was stunned: "Do you know the ancestor?"

Ji Yunzhou just smiled and said nothing, and reached out to take the talisman.

The moment his fingertips touched the talisman paper, the yellow talisman paper suddenly combusted and instantly turned into a small amount of ash that floated in the air.

Lu Yi took a breath and took two steps back, his face pale: "Who on earth are you..."

"We appreciate Master Lu's kindness."

Ji Yunzhou interrupted calmly and put his arm around Gu Yuan's shoulders: "But my baby, naturally I will protect him."

baby? ? ?

Gu Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to bury his head in the ground.

So shameful!!!

Everyone else present was petrified on the spot.

Gu Jing stamped his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

Ji Chen's eyes glanced back and forth between Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan:

"Gu Yuan, are you really going to marry into a wealthy family?"

Gu Yuan: "......"

Ji Yunzhou was pleased by his words, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "I'll treat you to a feast when the time comes."

He walked around to the driver's seat and glanced at Li Chuan before getting in. His eyes were clear: Too little to do in the underworld? Are you too free? You spend all day hanging out with Gu Jing.

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows calmly: What do you care?

Ji Yunzhou looked at Lin Xiaoqian at the restaurant door again and said:

"Retreat a little, the people of Longhu Mountain are not stupid."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded obediently: "Yes."

Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Yi, who had not yet recovered from the shock:

"Little Taoist priest, when you have time, go back to Longhu Mountain and ask your grandfather if he knows Ji Yunzhou."

Without waiting for Lu Yi's response, Ji Yunzhou got into the driver's seat and started the car.

With the roar of the engine, the car drove away from the scene, leaving everyone in shock.

Inside the car, Gu Yuan rubbed his temples helplessly: "Can't you be more low-key?"

"I've been keeping a low profile."

Ji Yunzhou remained calm and said, "Why should I be so low-key when I'm bringing my wife home?"
