Chapter 251 The Movie King (Twenty-Two)
Half a month later, Gu Yanjing was respectfully escorted to the film crew by Gu Zhiyuan, who then left Qian Ming to follow him.
Something happened with Lu Lingjun's Phoenix Clan, so they called him back.
He didn't want to get involved at first, but those idiots dug up his father's remains, which made Lu Lingjun so angry that he almost died young.
These bunch of idiots.
He gave Gu Yanjing some instructions and then went straight back to the Heavenly Realm.
Gu Yanjing didn't go with him. The Heavenly Realm also had a brother, so there was no point in him going.
He was filming steadily on set. He had a lot of scenes as the male lead, and he was often busy until midnight before finishing work. Then he would go home and fall asleep immediately.
He Zigui and Liu Tingting have learned their lesson and have never dared to provoke Gu Yanjing. They are even very serious when rehearsing their lines and dare not cause any trouble.
However, halfway through filming, He Zigui died in his hotel room with a sword wound on his neck. The exposed flesh was charred by the flames from the sword, and even after a whole night, it still emitted an astonishing temperature and had a very peculiar aura.
That was the aura of the Vermilion Bird Fire.
He Zigui was killed by Gu Yan; almost everyone thought so.
His Majesty the Vermilion Bird, who is high above all others, has always acted capriciously. Killing someone doesn't seem to arouse much suspicion.
The matter was originally kept secret, but someone posted it online, causing a huge uproar and leading many people who already opposed the demon race to begin opposing the demon race's continued existence in human society.
This led to the gradual disruption of the order in human society.
On the day He Zigui died, Gu Yanjing was respectfully invited away by the ten elders of the Demon Management Bureau.
"It wasn't me who did it. If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't leave you even a speck of dust." Gu Yanjing was lazily playing a game at that time.
“We know that this was not His Majesty’s doing. However, others may not know this, and may even use it to slander His Majesty. We ask that His Majesty return to the Bureau of Demon Management with us so that we can protect him.”
The old man at the head of the group was the one who had dealt with Gu Yanjing before, and he was very humble.
Ultimately, the *era of the Vermilion Bird can be considered their ancestor.
Being humble is considered a way of respecting our ancestors.
"I do not need your protection." Nothing in this world can harm him.
"Your Majesty, you should come with us. There are many people outside who want to kill you, and they are all ordinary people."
They can't just touch ordinary people, otherwise things would turn out like this today.
Ordinary people are always intimidated by the strength of others because of their own incompetence.
"Are you afraid I'll kill them all?" Gu Yanjing ended the game and slowly put away his phone.
Seeing that Gu Yanjing remained unmoved, the old man continued to persuade him earnestly: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is not a kind person, but this world must survive. It cannot be destroyed because of Your Majesty's selfish desires."
“This world is already mostly destroyed, it’s boring. Do you provide meals?” Gu Yanjing stood up, still wearing a gray nightgown.
The old man paused for a moment, then said, "It's wrapped up."
Gu Yanjing yawned: "Then let's go. The food has to be good. I won't eat anything that's not good."
Old man: ...So all that talk I just did is less effective than a simple sentence about meals.
Gu Yanjing: That's right, providing meals is the most important thing.
Director Zhuang watched Gu Yanjing being escorted away by a group of old men, then looked back at his crew who had been forced to halt filming. Sure enough, he shouldn't have used Gu Yanjing in the first place; he was a menace. In just a few days, this kind of trouble had resurfaced.
What a terrible thing to do.
The news that Gu Yanjing had been taken away by the Bureau of Demon Management was not covered up and spread like wildfire online. Many people said that he had been convicted and was waiting to be executed.
Gu Zhiyuan signed his name at the villa entrance and then went inside the villa carrying his lunchbox.
The long-haired young man in the villa was playing video games while munching on a bunch of grapes.
After the incident a few days ago, he was tricked by an idiot while playing games. Gu Yanjing is not the kind of person who only confronts others head-on, so he changed his ID and is now trying to reach his fourth national server ranking.
Gu Zhiyuan placed the lunchboxes on the table and opened them one by one: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
Gu Yanjing put the grapes down, her phone still ringing: "Okay, you can leave them here. I'll eat them when I'm done typing."
Gu Zhiyuan sighed: "Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you are dead, how come you are still so leisurely?"
According to netizens, Gu Yanjing is already in the crematorium.
"Could they really curse me to death with just a few words?"
Let alone a group of ordinary people, even Gu Yuan doesn't have this ability.
"Does Your Majesty know who did it?" Gu Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"Don't you know who it is?" Gu Yanjing threw his phone aside; the game had already ended.
Shao glanced casually at Gu Zhiyuan, her long hair falling down, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain.
Upon seeing Gu Yanjing's expression, Gu Zhiyuan immediately knelt down.
Nonsense, if you don't kneel, are you just waiting for His Majesty to break your legs?
“Your Majesty, I am not familiar with them, really not familiar with them. I only saw them once when I woke up last time. I only know one of them, Zhang Zhiqi.”
Gu Zhiyuan knelt on the ground, as if he were swearing to the scumbag that he was innocent.
No, he just did what every man in the world would do.
"Heh, wasn't it Zhang Zhiqi who killed him? I haven't even arrived in this plane yet, and you all managed to outmaneuver me perfectly."
Gu Yanjing reached out his hand, and Gu Zhiyuan immediately offered him chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Your Majesty, didn't you also not cooperate?" They hadn't expected Gu Yanjing to hold back in their previous plans.
He endured the online abuse and the accusation of murder.
They had planned everything three months in advance, even timing it perfectly so that Gu Zhiyuan would go to the system and bring Gu Yanjing back.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he got stuck on Gu Yanjing.
"You want me to help you break this plane out of Gu Yuan and Shisanqiu's control, so why should I cooperate with you?"
What does the freedom these people want have to do with him?
"Your Majesty, could you please stop talking about 'you guys'? Don't include me, really. I've sold myself to you now, and I have nothing to do with them." Please stop dragging me into this, or I'll start to suspect that you'll drag me along next time you're beheading someone.
"Like the little orange cat, I am also a single-line descendant for three generations."
Thinking of this, Gu Zhiyuan added a sentence.
"He's talking about nine generations of only sons, and don't you have an older sister? Doesn't your sister count as a person?" Gu Yanjing's eyes still held a sharp look.
"No, my sister is my mother's sister's daughter. But when she was little, my aunt and uncle had an accident, and my sister was adopted by my mother."
Gu Zhiyuan immediately shook his head.
My older sister is still my biological sister.
So many feelings are genuine.
"Tomorrow, bring Zhang Zhiqi over so I can meet him." Gu Yanjing ate some food, but had no appetite, so she put down her chopsticks and lazily returned to her comfort zone.
Sure enough, once a person starts to be lazy, they'll stay lazy forever. Looking back at how hard he cultivated when he was in the Heavenly Realm, tsk, what a waste of time.
After dinner, Gu Zhiyuan left, leaving Gu Yanjing alone in the villa. His account was forced offline again due to being put into health mode. He was bored and couldn't sleep.
With Lu Lingjun not around, he suffered from insomnia again.
I picked up my phone and opened Weibo. Eight out of the top ten trending topics had his name on them.
The first thing is to make him pay with his life for He Zigui.
Gu Yanjing opened her Weibo account, edited a message, and posted it.
Gu Yan exclaimed in shock: "Did you hear that? Pay with your life, @Liu Tingting!"
As soon as the Weibo post was published, it was immediately surrounded by He Zigui's fans and bystanders who wanted to see what was going on.
Liu Tingting's fans also arrived, but they were late. They questioned Gu Yanjing about why he had framed their dedicated older sister.
Gu Yanjing selected a reply.
Gu Yan was shocked: "If I want to kill someone, I won't leave a trace, and the Heavenly Dao won't even have that person's aura. This is too fake."
Then some started arguing that he might have done it on purpose to clear his name, while others said it was just his side of the story, and still others demanded that he pay with his life, asking why he hadn't died yet.
Gu Yanjing found it boring and immediately sent a letter to Gu Qiqi.
Gu Qiqi saw the letter.
Gu Yan was surprised: "My cultivation level has recently declined. Could it be that I'm being rejected by the Heavenly Dao? Is there something wrong with Gu Yuan?"
I didn't understand.
Gu Qiqi was tricked by Xie Yuzhu and has now lost her memory. She's like a complete idiot, staring blankly at the letter. After thinking for a long time, she finally wrote back a letter in earnest.
Gu Qiqi: "Little brother, you've got the wrong person."
Gu Yan was surprised to receive a reply: ? ? ?
handsome?
Did Gu Qiqi eat the wrong rat poison?
Are you out of your mind?
Gu Yanjing sent another letter to Gu Yanqing, asking him about Gu Qiqi's situation and the current state of the Heavenly Dao.
Gu Yanqing's reply was also very slow, as if he had gone into seclusion and had not received the message at all.
If Gu Yanjing hadn't sensed that Gu Yanqing had read the message, he would have thought he had lost his cultivation and the message wouldn't have been sent out.
However, now that Gu Qiqi has withdrawn from the chaos of the Heavenly Dao, and Gu Yanqing remains silent about it, it seems that something truly terrible is about to happen to the Heavenly Dao.
It's good that something big happened; it would be better if Gu Yuan died.
Gu Yanjing randomly picked a novel online to read. Although it was full of plot holes, it was at least a way to pass the time. He dawdled until nightfall, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he decided to meditate and cultivate.
I haven't practiced cultivation for seven years, and the first time I meditated was because of insomnia, haha.
The next day, around 10 a.m., Gu Yanjing opened his eyes. After playing games for two hours, Gu Zhiyuan and Zhang Zhiqi came to deliver his meal.
"Your Majesty." Gu Zhiyuan set out the food on the coffee table.
Zhang Zhiqi didn't dare sit down. He stood to the side, silent, like a dead man.
He didn't want to come, but he was also afraid that if he didn't come, Gu Yanjing would take his dog's head from a thousand miles away.
After finishing his game, Gu Yanjing didn't rush to eat. He glanced at Zhang Zhiqi and said, "You are the second person among all these people who dares to scheme against me like this."
The first one is Lu Lingjun.
No, that's a beast, not even human.
"Your Majesty, I'm only doing this to survive; I'm forced by circumstances." Zhang Zhiqi glanced at Gu Zhiyuan, who had already knelt down with practiced ease, and his legs went weak as he knelt down as well.
Sure enough, speaking while kneeling gives you more confidence.
"Do I look like an easy person to talk to? What does your predicament have to do with me?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Your Majesty, five cents, half a dime." Zhang Zhiqi, for some reason, actually pulled out half a dime from his pocket and placed it in front of Gu Yanjing, continuing.
"Even before I met Your Majesty, I felt that Your Majesty was a kind person. Now that I see you, Your Majesty is indeed kind-faced and gentle. I suppose you will not blame me for my offense."
Zhang Zhiqi spoke to himself, head bowed.
Gu Zhiyuan was so shocked when he heard this person use the words "kind" and "benevolent" repeatedly that his jaw dropped.
How heartless must one be to say such a thing without batting an eye?
Wow, buddy, no wonder you're the boss in your organization.
"Kindness? This is the first time I've ever heard anyone use that word to describe me. You're quite the talent." Gu Yan tilted his head in surprise, a hint of innocence in his eyes.
Zhang Zhiqi thought he was saved, but Gu Zhiyuan had already covered his head and lay down first.
Sure enough, the next moment, the towering wires instantly bent Zhang Zhiqi's bones.
"I have done so many evil deeds, I don't like to hear people say good things about me."
Gu Yanjing has such a clear understanding of himself.
Zhang Zhiqi has broken a taboo.
"Take him out and give him to Nan Wan'er and Tun Tian. Tell them to keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't die suddenly, or it won't be fun." Gu Yanjing stood up, glanced at the dishes on the table, and lost his appetite. He rarely left his comfort zone and went straight upstairs.
There were quite a lot of things upstairs. They probably didn't know what Gu Yanjing liked, so they prepared some musical instruments, books, swords, and the like.
He walked into the master bedroom, opened the window, and an ice-blue bird immediately flew in and landed obediently on Gu Yanjing's hand.
"Jiaojiao, I miss you." The bird spoke, and it was Lu Lingjun's voice.
Perhaps because it was too far away, the spiritual energy was exhausted. As soon as it opened its mouth, the birds scattered, and an ice-blue bead fell down.
Only the Ice Soul Pearl.
Gu Yan moved his fingers, looked at the beads in his palm, and slowly grasped them.
Ha, Lu Lingjun really sees through him now.
"Lu Lingjun, look at you, you have everything."
Gu Yan lowered his head in surprise, muttering to himself.
And he...
Two weeks later, just as the storm on the internet was beginning to subside, a rebel alliance suddenly appeared in Shanghai, posting information about this dimension online.
There were hackers making moves over there, and the news was spreading like wildfire online. Moreover, these people even called out to Gu Yanjing, asking him to release their boss.
Gu Yanjing saw the message three days later and then replied.
Gu Yan was shocked: "Zhang Zhiqi is with Tuntian. If you want him, go there. By the way, Tuntian eats people."
Go ahead if you're not afraid of dying a gruesome death.
I don't know if this generation of netizens has a particularly bizarre way of thinking, but someone actually asked Gu Yanjing if he eats people and what people taste like.
Gu Yanjing kindly replied, "If you don't eat people, you'll be covered in foul air and look disgusting."
In an instant, this angered many netizens, and Gu Yanjing's Weibo was bombarded with criticism.
