Chapter 392 The Boys of That Time (Forty-Five)
The next morning, Lu Lingjun realized that Gu Yanci was coming soon, so he quickly woke Gu Yanci up. The two of them knelt back down properly and waited for Gu Yanci to bring them food.
Then I got scolded.
Before leaving, Gu Yan relayed a message to Lu Lingjun's father, who was still alive.
"After you finish kneeling here, go back to the Phoenix Clan and kneel before your own ancestors."
Lu Lingjun looked down at his hands and nodded silently.
"It's time to kneel down."
Kneel down and get rid of these damned thoughts.
Lu Lingjun knelt with Gu Yanjing for three days before his father summoned him back to the Phoenix Clan. Before leaving, he reminded the celestial officials serving Gu Yanjing to do their best and not let the young prince get hurt.
After Lu Lingjun left, Gu Yanci was too busy to discipline Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing was now completely free, and that very night he secretly went to Ye Anjing's house and stole a small, invisible lock that Ye Anjing had kept in the treasure pavilion.
Gu Yanjing chuckled, hung the small lock around his neck, smashed the window of Ye Anjing's room, and swaggered away.
Enraged, Ye Anjing went to complain to Gu Yanci again that night. However, Gu Yanjing was quick to escape this time. By the time Gu Yanci went with Ye Anjing to capture him, Gu Yanjing had already gone to the lower realm.
Looking at the empty palace, Ye Anjing immediately cursed, "Incorrigible."
Gu Yanci frowned and retorted, "Zhuque has a childish temper. You're old enough to understand why you're arguing with him."
Ye Anjing was almost driven mad by this remark about his age. He cursed under his breath, calling him a dead straight man and a dead bastard, and then angrily flicked his sleeve.
“Your Majesty treats him like a child now, but after all, Prince Zhuque is not young anymore and should be sensible eventually. Right now, with Your Majesty protecting him, he can get away with any trouble. But what if he causes trouble that Your Majesty cannot protect him from? Can Your Majesty atone for his sins?”
Gu Yanci laughed upon hearing this, without much thought: "Even if I atone for his sins, so what? This is something I owe him anyway."
He felt both familial affection for Gu Yanjing, whom he had raised, and guilt for having used him in the past.
Ye Anjing couldn't listen any longer. He sneered and left.
They never mentioned again the matter of going down to the mortal realm to capture Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing, however, was living a rather miserable life in the lower realm.
It can't be said that it's completely unrelated; it was entirely his own doing.
This wasn't the young boy's first time in the human realm, but it was the first time he had come alone.
There is a plane very close to the Heavenly Realm, and there is a city on it called Lanling. Lanling City is very lively, and Gu Yanjing likes it very much. This is not his first time here.
But Lu Lingjun had always protected him when he came here before. However, this time, he came alone and his storage ring was stolen as he entered the city in a silly manner.
Damn.
In this plane, cultivators, immortals, and mortals have lived together for millions of years. They are not afraid of immortals at all. In fact, to them, an immortal like Gu Yanjing, who is not very worldly, is just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
So, the poor Prince Zhuque, who was so poor he couldn't even afford to eat, was tricked into following a human trafficker, intending to kill the man in a dark place along the way.
This person probably, possibly, should, or perhaps is wealthy.
However, just as Gu Yanjing was about to make his move in a dark alley, he heard the woman who had come to make contact speak, her voice as indifferent as dust.
