The 223rd Hidden Sect Boss's Little Assistant (Sixty-Five)
When Gu Yanjing returned after finishing his tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, he also brought back a jar of osmanthus rice wine.
He can't hold his liquor; he can only drink one cup of rice wine at most.
After returning home, Lu Lingjun nagged her for a long time about wasting money.
Unable to bear the nagging any longer, Gu Yanjing picked up a bamboo basket and headed straight up the mountain.
When he returned, Gu Yanjing was drinking rice wine on the mountain, comfortably washing his feet in the stream, and sleeping all day. In the evening, he carried a basket of medicinal herbs offered by the little demons and leisurely returned home, slightly drunk.
However, on my way home today, there won't be any girls climbing over the wall to flirt with me, nor any middle-aged women greeting me warmly. Even the big fat cat that used to squat at the intersection has come out.
Gu Yan realized something was wrong and immediately dropped the bamboo basket and ran back.
Sure enough, I saw the open gate and the mess in the yard.
There was still some noise inside; you could vaguely hear foul language and insults.
Gu Yan's eyes involuntarily reddened, and he quickly ran inside. Sure enough, he saw Lu Lingjun, who was being beaten half to death by four burly men who looked like servants, in a corner of the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, the four servants turned around and saw a fair-skinned young man. They immediately recognized him as the person who had recently appeared and grinned maliciously as they approached.
"We just asked this kid where you went, but he wouldn't say a word. But since you've come to us, it saves us brothers the trouble of looking for you."
The strongest-looking servant sized up Gu Yanjing, a nauseating lust in his eyes.
"Lu Jiao, hurry, run!" Lu Lingjun gasped as she got up, trying to hold off the group, and told Gu Yanjing to go first.
But he was kicked to the ground again by someone.
"Come on, where are you going? Come here, look at this delicate skin, keep your brother company and maybe he'll go easy on you."
The man had a lewd smile on his face as he rubbed his hands together, trying to touch Gu Yanjing's face. But suddenly he realized his hand was gone, and a piercing pain surged up his arm, making him scream in agony.
"Go easy on them?" Gu Yanjing held his sword, his crimson eyes looking at the group with a chilling aura.
"You, you're a monster?" Several people looked at the sword that had appeared out of thin air in the beautiful young woman's hand, their expressions changed drastically, and they were so frightened that they wanted to run away.
But in an instant, it was engulfed by crimson flames.
The flames burned very slowly, tormenting people little by little, leaving them unable to live or die.
"Tsk tsk tsk, go back to your master. Once you see your master, the fire will go out. However, only the first person to see your master will have the fire extinguished. So, guess who will be the first one?"
Gu Yanjing took a handkerchief, wiped his sword clean, and slowly looked at the people rolling on the ground.
Upon hearing this, the group immediately ran out, howling in pain, their cries echoing all the way.
Gu Yanjing sheathed his sword and turned to look at Lu Lingjun lying on the ground: "Are you scared?"
Lu Lingjun managed a weak smile: "I knew you were a monster the first time I saw you."
Gu Yan shook his head in surprise: "I am Zhuque."
What kind of monster is that? It sounds awful.
Lu Lingjun was stunned: "The divine beast Vermilion Bird?"
Gu Yan nodded in surprise: "Yes." After saying that, he even raised his chin with a bit of pride.
Lu Lingjun stared at Gu Yan's shocked eyes and couldn't help but say, "But your eyes don't look like those of a **."
