Legend of the Gu Demon

The setting sun is invisible, the sky is covered with darkness,

Ningchen walked out of the school, and the expression on his face instantly returned to its previous calmness. There was no trace of the frustrated look he had just now.

I turned to look at the horizon. The setting sun was like blood, burning away the clouds on the horizon, revealing a bit of sunset. What a wonderful sight!

Ningchen's figure gradually moved away from the school, and his pace gradually slowed down, as if he was waiting for someone.

Walking quietly on the somewhat crowded streets with your hands behind your back,

It was already dusk at this time, the time when Ningchen and other students were out of school, and it was also the peak time for the crowds in the village.

The farmer carried a hoe on his back, which even had a few pieces of soil on it, and walked along the street humming a peasant tune.

Gu masters are dressed in military uniforms, either sweat, mud, or blood.

The children shuttled among the crowd with their petite bodies, like butterflies among the flowers...

Ningchen walked slowly among them, his face still as calm as water, but the person he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet, but it didn't affect his mood.

"Ningchen! Wait for me!"

A sweet female voice came vaguely from behind. This voice was very familiar to Ningchen. He turned his head and said,

Haoyu was trotting over, but the crowded streets still blocked her progress.

Upon seeing this, Ningchen also took the initiative to walk towards Haoyu, squeezing through the layers of people coming and going.

"Ha~ Ningchen! You left~ too fast!"

"I left the school and kept running until I caught up with you."

Haoyu's breathing was a little rapid, his face was a little rosy, and his standing figure was even a little shaky.

Ningchen smiled slightly when he saw this, supported the weak Haoyu, and whispered softly,

"Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Haoyu felt Ningchen's intimate movements, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

At this time, Haoyu unconsciously leaned on Ningchen's chest. Ningchen held Haoyu's shoulders with both hands.

Haoyu would have never dared to think of such an intimate gesture before, but now he can be held in Ningchen's arms openly and openly.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her, and when Ningchen saw Haoyu's face turn red, he laughed,

"Thank you very much for today, but I will need you to cooperate with me in acting in the future."

"No...nothing, just helping my classmates...that's all."

"Then I still hope Haoyu can help more!"

"In the next few days, you just need to do it step by step. They won't dare to place bets for a while. You just need to do it step by step to lower their vigilance."

"Um..."

Ningchen helped Haoyu up, and the two of them walked slowly on the crowded street, quite like a young couple.

"In that case, I'll leave first. Goodbye."

"Um...goodbye."

Haoyu looked at Ningchen's retreating back with some disappointment, his beautiful eyes were filled with ecstasy.

Ningchen slowly left, his expression no longer the gentle and considerate one before, replaced by calmness.

"Daddy, hurry up and chase me!"

"Run slower, run slower, daddy won't be able to keep up."

A petite figure shuttled among the crowd, giggling from time to time. The laughter was full of childlike innocence.

Behind him is a smiling middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and ordinary clothes. He is a very ordinary farmer.

"Ouch~"

The girl seemed to have bumped into something, and the candied haws in her hand also fell to the ground, stained with a few pieces of soil.

The girl looked up and met Ningchen's extremely deep black eyes.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, it was my baby girl who bumped into you. Are you okay?"

When the middle-aged man saw his daughter bump into Ning Chen, he hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and came to Ning Chen's side.

He quickly apologized and said it was not the case. After all, this young man did not look like a kind-hearted master.

After hearing this, Ningchen slowly raised his head, looked directly at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said calmly,

"So, she is your daughter?"

"Yes, yes, she is my daughter."

Ningchen suddenly smiled, and this smile also made the heart in his chest suddenly relax.

Snap~ There was a crisp sound of flesh touching flesh. Even in a noisy street, this crisp sound was extremely harsh.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"this..."

In an instant, Ningchen slapped the girl's soft face with a crisp slap.

How could that girl endure such a violent blow from Ningchen? She cried out in pain.

The big man was also shocked by Ningchen's quick attack, and was furious for a moment.

Pah! There was another crisp sound, and Ningchen’s slap fell on the big man’s face again.

This time, the big man was completely angry. He turned his head, but it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, which completely extinguished the fire in his heart, and instead gave him a bit of a bone-chilling chill.

"Why, it's the father's fault that the son doesn't teach, and you have a problem with me?"

"Don't you know you have to watch the road when you're walking?!"

A blue crescent moon mark lit up on Ningchen's palm, which was the moonlight Gu, and it was also the reason why the big man was afraid.

The symbol of the Gu Master, the symbol of Gu Yue's village Gu Master, how could he, a mortal, dare to resist?

"...Yes, we were wrong. We must pay attention next time."

"Don't worry, next time you meet me, there will be no next time."

The big man almost squeezed it out from between his teeth. You can imagine the anger in his heart, but on the surface he still squeezed out a smile to greet him.

Ningchen talked quietly, not paying any attention to the anger in the big man's heart.

After saying that, he left without staying for a moment, leaving them here,

"Stop crying!"

The big man roared, and his rude roar stopped the girl from crying.

"Daddy, my candied haws..."

"Sorry, dad shouldn't yell at you. I'll buy you another one later."

After yelling, the big man realized that he shouldn't have been angry at the child, so he had to apologize softly.

The big man led the sobbing girl away, but his heart ached slightly.

"A bunch of candied haws, half a piece of Yuan Stone, haha~ This month's work has been in vain..."

When Ningchen returned home, he was greeted by Ningchuan's eager greetings.

"How about it? Is the play we performed yesterday okay?"

"Yeah~ It's indeed good. Now it has spread throughout the school."

Ningchen smiled faintly at Ningchuan, with a hint of satisfaction in his smile.

"Although I still don't understand why you want all the students in the academy to know, I just listen to you."

Ningchuan also laughed when he saw this, and then sat on the second seat at the dining table.

"Brother, come and eat quickly!"

"Um..."

After dinner, Ningchen sat quietly by the window, with thousands of thoughts passing through his mind.

"That boy Ningchuan seems to be serious. He didn't talk to me much during the whole dinner, so there's nothing wrong with him."

"And Ye Ling'er, he cooks two portions of food separately. He's very smart!"

"Hey~ This game of chess really took a long time!"

"However, it won't be long before the final outcome is decided..."
