Chapter 1: The Cold-Blooded Sentinel's Overbearing Love for the Little Guide: Only Him
Before I could even figure out how to approach my target, the target came to me on their own.
She even forcibly grabbed his little hand and asked him his name.
This left Gu Shanshan somewhat bewildered, and she stared blankly at Gong Ye.
He looked so silly.
He looks like someone who wants to be bullied.
Gong Ye's gaze at Gu Shanshan grew increasingly dark, and he impatiently urged her again.
"Tell me quickly, what's your name!"
Gong Ye's voice was tinged with agitation. It was clear that as a top-tier Dark Sentinel, he had not received any soothing from a Guide, and his intense emotions had brought him to the brink of collapse.
Even when he speaks a single sentence, he's filled with anger.
Gu Shanshan was startled, feeling that the hand gripping her was very strong, so strong that it almost crushed the bones in her wrist.
Speak it out quickly.
"My name is Gu Shanshan."
Fearing that the irritable Gong Ye might not understand which two characters it was, he added an explanation.
"It's the 'glance' in 'a single glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation,' and the 'sparkle' in 'starlight twinkles.'"
After explaining, she looked up and cautiously sized up the man in front of her.
With deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge, his thin, sensual lips were tightly pursed in a cold, icy curve, making him appear even more aloof.
This person was far too exquisitely handsome, even more so than any doll he had ever seen in the real world.
However, the person was too cold.
Especially now, with his slightly furrowed brows and silent demeanor, he looks frightening.
His identity in this world is that of a guide, while Gong Ye's identity is that of a sentinel, specifically the most powerful and elite Dark Sentinel of the Imperial Tower Empire.
Besides this identity, Gong Ye is also the younger brother of the King of the Imperial Tower Empire.
Such an unparalleled and noble status makes her the dream girl of almost every guide in the entire empire.
Today's matchmaking banquet hosted by the King is attended by all the unmarried and single guides in the capital, including several children from noble families.
In such a competitive environment, he really managed to seduce Gong Ye.
Will she be able to stay by Gong Ye's side?
As Gu Shanshan was lost in thought, she heard Gong Ye's deep, husky voice.
"There is a family in the North, living apart from the world, whose beauty could topple a city with a single glance, and a nation with a second? Good, very good."
Gong Ye recited a line of poetry, the one he had just used to explain his name.
But when Gong Ye read it aloud in that magnetic voice, Gu Shanshan felt like she was being charmed.
good?
Is it that he praises himself, or that his poetry is good?
Gu Shanshan had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask Gong Ye.
"What it's called doesn't matter, as long as you like it."
Flattery will get you everywhere, so Gu Shanshan chose to compliment Gong Ye.
Who is Gong Ye? How could he not see that Gu Shanshan was trying to please him?
If it were anyone else who had flattered him so hypocritically, they would never have had the chance to appear before him again.
But Gu Shanshan is different.
The moment he saw Gu Shanshan, his heart, which had been dormant for over twenty years, felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
A tingling, itchy sensation.
It felt like a kitten's claws scratching at his heart, giving him an unbearable itch.
At the same time, his blood was boiling and flowing backward, making him unable to control his actions.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already standing in front of Gu Shanshan, grabbing her wrist and asking her name.
When he grabbed Gu Shanshan's wrist, it was as if he had found his own rib that had been separated from him.
Because of Gu Shanshan, his recent manic emotions have calmed down.
How could he bear to let such a person disappear from his sight?
Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Gong Ye grabbed Gu Shanshan's hand and dragged her in front of Gong Mo.
He said coldly, "I want this person."
Gong Mo frowned, his dark eyes falling on Gu Shanshan.
He glanced between the two of them several times, and to be honest, his younger brother had a good eye for talent.
With a simple pull, the most beautiful one came out.
Moreover, this person is also...
Gong Mo glanced at Gu Shanshan's face, a dark, cold light flashing in his eyes.
However, he still said something in passing.
"This is just the beginning. Isn't it too hasty to decide who to take so soon?"
Although Gu Shanshan is beautiful, she looks too weak.
How could such a frail beauty withstand Gong Ye's extraordinary physique?
Gong Ye frowned, indicating with displeasure that there was no room for negotiation.
"Only him."
If he hadn't seen Gu Shanshan just now, he wouldn't have chosen any of the people in this banquet hall.
He was convinced that Gu Shanshan was the one for him; he couldn't explain this strange feeling at all.
They also don't want to spend time and energy worrying about it.
He had a clear idea in his mind: he wanted to take care of Shan Shan.
"Alright, as the older brother, I'm glad you're willing to choose someone, but..."
Gong Mo's tone suddenly changed at this point.
His gaze fell upon the elegantly dressed guides in the banquet hall, who immediately straightened their backs upon seeing the king's gaze.
Show your best self with your head held high and chest out.
After all, even if she couldn't catch the eye of Miyako, it would be incredibly lucky if the King did.
However, Gong Mo's gaze was indifferent, showing no desire to make a selection.
He turned to Gong Ye and said, "There are so many excellent guides down there, are you sure you don't want to select a few more to take back and serve?"
At this age, Gong Ye should have several wives by now.
But Gong Ye was all alone; in all these years, he hadn't even touched the guide's hand.
Now, upon seeing Gu Shanshan, he couldn't wait to grab her and bring her to his side. To be honest, Gong Mo was surprised.
"I already said, it's not necessary!"
Gong Ye didn't even glance at the other guides in the banquet hall, his tone already carrying displeasure.
With a strong pull, he dragged Gu Shanshan into his arms.
She turned her head and looked at her brother with a cold expression. "I only need him. Goodbye."
After speaking coldly, Gong Ye ignored the expression on Gong Mo's face, put his arm around Gu Shanshan's waist, and led her away.
The guides in the banquet hall stared at the man's tall, aloof back, momentarily speechless.
Didn't we agree that the Chief would choose a suitable guide?
Why did they just take a guide who looked so weak with them?
The guide had been pushed to the back by them and even tripped over, so why did he still manage to attract the Chief's attention?
So what if I'm a little prettier than others? It's nothing special.
Moreover, the fabric he was wearing looked like something only a poor person would wear. How could someone so poor defeat those of them who were physically strong and from wealthy families?
The guides who weren't chosen immediately felt a bit conflicted.
That feeling was like eating shit, so uncomfortable.
Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to put on a polite and happy smile in the royal banquet hall.
Very hypocritical.
Since Gong Ye had already left, there was no need for Gong Mo to stay any longer.
After Gong Ye left, Gong Mo dropped his gentle facade, and his expression turned cold almost instantly.
He exuded a chilling aura, carrying the majesty of an emperor, making people dare not look him in the eye.
Some guides who had originally intended to target King Gongmo were so frightened by his expressionless and stern face that they all lowered their heads and dared not act rashly.
He thought to himself, "Is this the aura of the Empire's top Dark Sentinels?"
How terrifying.
Regardless of how others perceive him, Gong Mo only pretends to be a kind and gentle older brother in front of Gong Ye.
He strode out of the banquet hall with his attendants.
As soon as he left, the oppressive and cold atmosphere in the banquet hall eased and became lively again.
After all, although the two chief sentinels left, the secondary sentinels and senior sentinels remained.
Even if they settle for second best, they can still find a sentinel who suits their taste.
However, there are still some people who are unwilling to accept this.
That man's son, Wen Ziting, was the Imperial Minister of Finance.
Wen Ziting was wearing a white blazer that accentuated her waist, with tight makeup on her face and a beautiful nude lipstick on her lips.
Clearly, he had dressed up carefully for this blind date banquet for Gong Ye.
Gong Ye, the Empire's chief sentinel, is also the younger brother of the Empire's king. With such a prestigious status, who wouldn't covet it?
Wen Ziting had secretly loved Gong Ye for a long time and had been waiting for this opportunity to shine in front of Gong Ye.
He was already prepared to fall down in front of Gong Ye and have a chance encounter with him.
But before he could do anything, he saw Gong Ye pull a poor boy away.
Wen Ziting was so angry that he vomited blood.
She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, "You dare steal my man, Gu Shanshan, you bitch, just you wait!"
Gu Shanshan had no idea that she had attracted a powerful enemy without doing anything.
On the other side.
With a cold expression and a handsome face strikingly similar to Gong Ye's, Gong Mo walked straight toward the king's bedroom.
Upon arriving at the palace gate, Gong Mo gave a cold command before entering.
"No one is allowed to enter without my order!"
"Understood."
The guard, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, knelt on one knee on the ground.
Gong Mo didn't say anything more and pushed open the door to the bedroom.
Upon entering, one sees an enormous bed placed in the center of the bedroom.
The bed was very soft and covered with fine brocade.
Among them, a long-haired boy was lying down.
The boy had delicate features, and upon closer inspection, he bore a resemblance to Gu Shanshan, except that Gu Shanshan's beauty was more glamorous, while the boy in front of him was more delicate.
The boy heard footsteps and immediately opened his eyes.
A hint of sadness flashed in the boy's eyes when he saw Gong Mo.
With red eyes, she called out, "Gong Mo, you're back."
His voice was hoarse, with a raspy sobbing tone, as if he had just been crying not long ago.
Gong Mo sat down on the boy's bedside with a cold expression, his icy fingers rubbing the boy's fair cheek.
"Yes, I'm back."
After saying that, he added in a sinister tone, "Why don't you ask me where I went?"
The boy choked, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "I know where you went; you just came back from the banquet hall."
After she finished speaking, she asked softly, "Gong Mo, is Shan Shan... doing well?"
