Last time at Zhuangzi, Gu Yanfei had cast 49 hexagrams for Xiahou Qing in order to figure out his origins. He had figured out some causes and effects, love and hatred, and the hexagrams pointed to one word:
"Yu".
Xiahou Qing risked his life to come to Dajing, but his purpose was not simple.
Without giving the other party a chance to respond, Gu Yanfei asked again: "Who does Shangqing belong to?"
This question hits the nail on the head.
There was silence in the private room.
“Pah.”
Xiahou Qing moved his upper body back and clapped his hands lightly.
It seemed like admiration, but there was still a hint of viciousness in his expression, and the scarlet aura around him was still as crazy as a group of demons dancing wildly.
"Then do you know that Shangqing's original surname is Yu?" Xiahou Qing asked suddenly.
This time, Gu Yanfei showed a rare dazed look on his face and his eyes widened slightly.
Shangqing is actually a member of the Yu family? !
Gu Yanfei guessed that Shangqing was most likely raised by the Yu family, but he didn't expect that he was actually a member of the Yu family.
Seeing this, Xiahou Qing smiled happily, and the scarlet aura all over his body suddenly turned from noisy to calm.
Ever since he first met this girl, he has been led by her by the nose. It feels terrible that she sees through everything he does.
Now it seems that she is not so omnipotent, and there are still many things in this world that she doesn't know.
Xiahou Qing felt happy that he had finally gained an upper hand, and without waiting for Gu Yanfei to ask, he continued happily, "Shangqing is a direct descendant of the Yu family. Because he was born with a natural talent, he later became a disciple of Wuliang Temple."
Xiahou Qing was in a good mood. He changed his posture and leaned against a large red pillow, letting his wide red sleeves slide down.
Gu Yanfei listened while drinking tea.
This small world can be described as a place without any spiritual power. Shangqing is indeed a gifted person as he has been able to cultivate to this level. However, his talent is obviously not equal to his ability to thrive in the world of fame and fortune.
so--
"It was the Yu family who raised him to such a high position." Gu Yanfei said affirmatively.
Shang Qing has become famous in the past few years and has demonstrated many "supernatural powers", which are talked about by the world. He is quite prestigious among the powerful, the royal family and the common people. He seems to be on par with Tian Gang Zhenren. Everyone respects and honors him.
Just because his surname is Yu, the Yu family used all their strength to help him build momentum at all costs, and pushed him to his current position step by step.
I see!
The Yu family has been in decline for a long time since the beginning of this dynasty, and is far inferior to the Yuan family, which is on the rise.
The Yu family obviously would not be content with decline from now on...
Gu Yanfei's fingers casually stroked the colorful phoenix flapping its wings on the teacup, thinking of her jade pendant with a phoenix pattern and no eyes.
The jade pendant that Lady Yu, the Duchess of England, had longed to obtain for her entire life.
interesting.
Gu Yanfei took a sip of tea, his eyes rolled around, and he continued to get close to Xia Houqing, asking, "What is the grudge between you and the Yu family?"
Her tone was very natural, as if she was on the same side as him.
Xiahou Qing just smiled without saying a word. His enchanting eyes were like a deep ancient well, filled with gloom, coldness and brutality. Little by little, a storm was brewing, as if to tear and crush everything.
The thin, bright red lips slowly curled up into a bloodthirsty smile.
"If you do me this favor, I'll give you a big gift."
"OK?"
Gu Yanfei looked at him with a smile. Although her tone was questioning, she was very sure that he would accept it.
After that, there was a long silence.
Xiahou Qing stared at her with narrowed eyes, his pupils seemed to be dipped in ice and poisoned. He wished he could cut her head open and take a closer look.
How many secrets does she know about me?
For him, people like this who stayed in the world were like thorns in the eye and bones in the flesh! Gu Yanfei sat more casually and lazily, but he didn't relax at all. His arms were tightly clenched, and the whip was slowly rolling in his hands.
The atmosphere in the private room became increasingly tense as silence spread, as if an invisible string in the air was pulled taut and could break at any time.
The silence lasted too long, but Gu Yanfei remained motionless.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiahou Qing raised his hand and clapped his hands lightly.
“Bang!”
Old Qi, who was guarding outside the private room, immediately walked in and bowed, waiting for orders: "My Lord."
"Send her to the right gate of Chang'an." Xiahou Qing raised his hand and pointed at Gu Yanfei, putting on a new red coral bracelet on his jade-white wrist.
Gu Yanfei finished the last sip of tea in the cup, stood up from the futon leisurely, took a step forward and then stopped abruptly, saying with a smile: "I'll trouble you to take care of my cat, Master Xiahou."
"..." Xiahou Qing's eyebrows tilted, and a look of surprise couldn't be suppressed on her beautiful face, mixed with a hint of anger and shame.
Thinking back to last night, even he himself didn't know why he brought that stupid cat back and allowed it to act arrogantly and domineeringly in his territory.
It’s proven!
That cat is a bigger trouble than its owner.
However, in just one night, almost all of his subordinates rebelled. They worshipped the cat as their ancestor and were jealous of each other. They gave all his screens, incense burners, straw mats, desks, vases... to the stupid cat.
Just thinking about it gave Xiahou Qing a headache, and he just wanted Gu Yanfei to take the cat away quickly.
But he couldn't say it, as if once he said this, he would be bowing his head to Gu Yanfei and that stupid cat.
He hesitated for a moment, and Gu Yanfei had already followed Old Qi out of the private room, and the sound of their light and casual footsteps faded away along the corridor.
As soon as Gu Yanfei left, Xiahou Qing clapped his hands twice again, and then a secret door on the west wall of the private room was pushed open from the other side.
A gap about two feet wide opened up, and the young man in black stuck his head out, looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xiahou Qing and bowed.
"..." Xiahou Qing's eyes twitched again, and he felt an indescribable air mass in his chest.
Behind the young man in black, the long-haired calico cat was lying on a big red cushion embroidered with a gold thread flame pattern on the desk, with strings of big red tassels hanging from the four corners of the cushion.
The long cat tail swung back and forth, occasionally brushing against the big red tassels.
This cushion is his! The veins on Xiahou Qing's forehead jumped twice.
Four men in black surrounded the cat, asking about its well-being. One poured water for it, one combed its fur, and one grilled dried fish and chicken slices for it...
On the ground were his night-shining pearls, each the size of a thumb, rolling all over the floor.
Xiahou Qing's temples hurt even more. He thought he was crazy to bring the cat back.
