24th, Imperial Capital, late at night.
In the luxurious box on the top floor of the Weiming Club, the air is filled with a faint scent of expensive fragrance, isolating it from the hustle and bustle of the city outside the window.
Gu Jinzhi, dressed in low-key casual clothes, sat opposite the young man wearing earrings and a floral shirt.
"Where's the stuff?" The young man in the flowered shirt leaned forward, rubbing his hands excitedly, his eyes full of impatience.
Gu Jinzhi concealed the fatigue in his expression, picked up a hard cover folder from the sofa next to him, and threw it over.
"Ah, ah, ah, be careful!"
The man in the floral shirt took the folder with both hands, opened it, and carefully pulled out a slightly wrinkled A4 paper from it.
Looking at the printed form and the densely packed signatures on it, I began to tremble with excitement.
"Ah~ Goddess! My goddess!" He held the A4 paper as if he was holding his beloved girl.
“…”
Gu Jinzhi raised his hand to cover his brow bone, rubbing his temples with his thumb and middle finger. It was simply unbearable to look at.
......
“Ahem!”
The flowered shirt tangled with the paper for a while, then he coughed twice, put the folder away, and said with a serious face, clasping his fists: "Brother, I cannot express my gratitude enough!!!"
Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips tightly, his face cold: "Zeng Yi, be normal."
The man in the flowered shirt, that is, Zeng Yi, chuckled wickedly: "Don't be so serious. What if you scare your sister-in-law after you get married?"
Then, he moved his butt, walked around the coffee table and sat next to Gu Jinzhi, put his arm around the latter's shoulders, and said, "Sister-in-law is super beautiful, I tell you! If I didn't already have Goddess Shen, I would definitely compete with you fairly!"
After saying this, she revealed a look of deep affection, "Alas, how does that poem go? 'Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds' ~ ah ~ my goddess Shen!"
Gu Jinzhi's jawline, as sharp as a knife and an axe, stiffened. He frowned, pulled Zeng Yi's "dog paw" off his shoulder, and moved a little further away. He frowned and said, "Stop joking. I want to ask you something."
"Tsk!" Zeng Yi sat back down, looking hurt. "I thought you were really treating me to a drink..."
Gu Jinzhi ignored his complaints and went straight to the point, asking, "You call yourself the Qingyun Love Saint, so let me ask you, is there any way to make a woman completely hate you?"
Zeng Yi's eyes widened. "Disgusted? Are you sick? Why do you want to disgust women? You admit that I am the Qingyun Love Saint, don't you know that I can only make women fall in love with me?"
Gu Jinyi said with an arrow piercing his heart: “Doesn’t Chen Yaochi hate you very much?”
Zeng Yi covered his chest, unable to breathe, "Brother, Tian'er is so boring..."
The atmosphere in the box was tense for a while, but in the end, Zeng Yi was defeated by Gu Jinzhi's calm but oppressive gaze.
He said weakly, "What are you talking about? Is Yun Xi bothering you again?"
"It's not Yun Xi..." Gu Jinzhi shook his head, "It's Jiang Xue."
"Ah? Sister-in-law?!" Zeng Yi was stunned. "Aren't you two getting married soon? Brother Dazhi, what are you talking about?"
Gu Jinzhi was silent, his fingertips slightly curled, and he tapped the coffee table unconsciously: "You know my situation... I can't respond to her feelings... Besides, if I can't come back..."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Zeng Yi interrupted Gu Jin's next words with an exaggerated gesture. "For the past two years, you've led the brothers on missions and into rifts. You've seen all sorts of ups and downs. Now that you're getting married, why are you saying such depressing things?"
When he heard the word "marriage", Gu Jinzhi frowned, as if he was enduring something in his eyes.
"This time, it's different..."
Bang!
Zeng Yi slapped the coffee table, creating a spider-web-like crack on the thick marble top.
"What's the difference? Isn't it just the Zhang family who wants to harm you? What's wrong with a martial immortal? Is a martial immortal that great? It's not like my Zeng family doesn't have martial immortals!!!"
"My great-grandfather is ranked thirteenth on the Martial Immortal Rankings, much stronger than that old wretch Zhang Luye! How about this, Brother Dazhi, I'll accompany you to Western Xinjiang!"
"Humph! Let's see if the Zhang family has the guts to kill both of us brothers!"
Click! Hiss!
Gu Jinzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, then opened a bottle of beer, gulped down a mouthful, and stared at the young man opposite him again, saying, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness. However, it's not appropriate for others to interfere in the affairs of the Gu and Zhang families. If you don't want your old man to break your legs, don't do anything stupid..."
Zeng Yi's momentum was lost, and he became inexplicably irritated.
He also opened a can of beer and gulped it down in one gulp, ignoring the liquid leaking from the corners of his mouth. He glared with red eyes and said angrily, "Brother Dazhi, don't keep thinking about using your life to make the Zhang family stop! My great-grandfather said that the Zhang family are all wolves, and wolves have no humanity!"
"...You're getting married soon, and your partner is such a wonderful girl! You won't be alone anymore, so don't give up on yourself, okay? Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your sister-in-law, right?"
Gu Jinzhi's knuckles tightened around the can, and a shadow crossed his handsome face. "You're worrying too much. I won't joke with my life... Even if the Zhang family wants to kill me, they'll have to see if they have such strong teeth."
"What about you?" Zeng Yi stared into Gu Jinzhi's eyes, unsure whether his words were true or false.
Among the brothers who grew up together, Gu Jinzhi is the most mature and never shows his emotions on his face.
It's really hard to see through him.
Gu Jinzhi shook the slightly deformed can, raised his hand, and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Don't think too much, I just don't like Jiang Xue..."
