The north wind was exceptionally fierce today, its biting cold carrying a chilling aura. Gu Liyan, dressed in a thin white robe, felt a chill at the moment and subconsciously hugged her arms to keep warm.
In the cold wind, Gu Liyan's gaze grew increasingly gloomy, his face filled with resentment. He glanced at the Martial Academy behind him and finally couldn't help but complain, "That Wu Wenfeng, it took him so long to get something. I should have known better than to wait for him!"
Jin Yi couldn't help but ask, with a hint of curiosity but also politeness, "Lord Gu Sheng, you could have gone in with Young Master Wu, why did you wait at the door?"
Upon hearing Jin Yi's question, Gu Liyan's face immediately darkened.
He hadn't forgotten that the first people he dealt with upon arriving in this world were from the Wu family. Moreover, he had revealed his identity before even knowing that the demon race was universally hated. If the Wu family discovered he was a demon, they might turn against him, and he could very well be hacked to death!
Gu Liyan pouted and said guiltily, "I'm not going in. Qingge Hall has started looking for me because of Bai Chen's matter, Shadow Hall has even kidnapped my woman and friends, and the Yizhe Alliance has already appointed me. Your Tianfu is even following me and asking me to be some kind of Chosen One. With so much trouble, I... I'd better keep a low profile, right? It's better not to get to know any of the aristocratic scions!"
Jin blinked and looked at Gu Liyan, very puzzled as to why he explained in such detail, which seemed to be a case of "protesting too much."
However, Jin Yi suddenly turned his head and saw a group of people walking towards them not far away.
He was a handsome young man, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a large "武" (Wu) character on his chest, and behind him followed a group of pale-faced young men of similar age, most of whom were dressed in white. It was not hard to tell that they were from Qingge Hall.
Jin Yi glanced at the group of young boys from Qingge Hall, then at Gu Liyan's and his own attire, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—they really do look alike!
Unable to resist, she turned to Gu Liyan and said, "Actually, I think that if you want to keep a low profile, you should start with cultivating your charm—"
"Huh? Does that mean I'm not very charming now?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion.
Jin Yi smiled slightly, "You've misunderstood. It seems the cause of this trouble is your charm!"
Gu Liyan looked puzzled, but before he could ask any questions, a lewd voice came from behind him, "Oh my! Look, what's this handsome young man waiting at my gate?" Wu Qing rubbed his hands together and looked at Gu Liyan with a lewd expression. "Young master, I am Wu Qing. Would you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"
Gu Liyan was speechless. Why did Wu Wenfeng and this Wu Qing both think he was a virgin the moment they saw him?
As expected, birds of a feather flock together! He's obviously related to Wu Wenfeng!
Jin Yi glanced at Gu Liyan; he wouldn't make a move until Gu Liyan gave the order.
"I'm just waiting for someone, please don't mind that I'm blocking the door, Young Master Wu." With that, Gu Liyan stepped down from the door and spoke respectfully.
"Waiting for someone?"
Wu Qing raised an eyebrow and immediately began to analyze: "Apart from my liking for men, everyone else in the Wu family is normal! Look at this young man before me, his face is absolutely gorgeous, I think the price he'll offer must be high! Looking across the entire Wu family, probably only elders can afford such a price! So it's possible that person has returned—"
Gu Liyan looked at Wu Qing with some surprise. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the aura of a wise man surrounding Wu Qing through his Huahuntong: Isn't the Wu family mainly about martial arts? How can there be such a wise person?
Wu Qing coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, young master, the weather is cold. If you wait here, you might catch a cold. Why don't you come inside with me and let me inform the person you are waiting for?"
Gu Liyan was about to say something when he suddenly saw Wu Wenfeng come out and couldn't help but smile. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Wu. The person I'm waiting for has come out."
With that, Gu Liyan walked towards Wu Wenfeng.
When Wu Qing turned around and saw that it was Wu Wenfeng who came out, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. He hurriedly said to the young boys behind him, "Get out of here! My elder brother is back, why don't you get far away from me!"
The boys hurriedly ran away.
When Wu Wenfeng came out, he had changed into the same clothes as Wu Qing, and he was wearing a sword inlaid with emeralds at his waist, which he must have just taken out from inside.
He also took off the mask he was wearing. The reason Gu Liyan recognized him was only because of the ability of the Painting Soul Eye.
"I thought you weren't coming out!" Gu Liyan said with a displeased expression.
Wu Wenfeng tugged at his sleeve, looking exasperated, and said, "I hate this outfit the most! It's not only inconvenient to walk in, but it also gets dirty all the time when I eat!"
Gu Liyan and Jin Yi were both speechless: "Brother, are you a child? How can you get your clothes dirty while eating?!"
"And another thing! Look how cold it is, not letting me wear a mask is freezing my face! What if my handsome face gets frostbite!" Wu Wenfeng was extremely disgusted with his new outfit.
Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "It doesn't matter at all. Even in the original outfit, I was still the most charming of the three of us on the street, and Xiao Yi was still the most handsome. You are still the most ordinary one! So you don't need to hold a grudge about it!"
Wu Wenfeng glared angrily at Gu Liyan, when Wu Qing stepped forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, elder brother."
