The Secret of the Reborn Shadowguard

Chapter 7 The Difficult Task

Gu Yan got up early today, reluctantly pulled out of his dream, and ordered someone to call Soul Killer, Lan Zhi and others to wait until the front hall to arrange matters.

Everyone arrived one after another, but there was no shadow of Chu Ying. Gu Yan felt strange but saw the subordinate who was sent to call Chu Ying hurried back. Come: "The subordinates have not found Zuo Protector, and everyone in Yaoyue Pavilion has not seen Lord Protector since this morning."

Gu Yan frowned when he heard this, but he heard Soul Killer who was sitting beside him say: "Master, last night Guardian of the Shadow Eater went to the Heavenly Soul Hall to ask for information about the owner of the Ant Building."

Gu Yan was startled, a bad premonition welled up in his heart, and he immediately ordered the subordinates next to him: "Go ask the guards of the sect last night, have you ever seen the Shadow Devourer?"

Suppressing the apprehension in his heart, looking forward to his subordinates bringing news that Chu Ying has not left the sect, Gu Yan quickly instructed everyone about some matters during the sect, as well as the arrangements for the next few days.

Suddenly, Gu Yan's ears twitched with deep inner strength, but then he noticed that the person who came had mediocre inner strength, knowing that it was not a shadow eater, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he also stood up, looked at the door and asked: "How is it? "

The person entering the door had just stepped over the threshold, and was startled by the leader's gaze, and knelt down: "The guard at the gate said that Master Zuo Dharma had left the sect last night."

Everyone felt a gust of wind pass by, and the figure of the leader above disappeared, and only a voice remained in their ears: "I will leave the sect for a few days, and I will take care of you."

Si Guo, Ying Qi and the others couldn't help but frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything, and went about their respective affairs.The leader left the sect, and the burden on the subordinates increased. If the leader still wants to leave the sect every day, how can he live in this day.

Lan Zhi, on the other hand, stepped forward to grab Soul Kill who was about to leave, but her usual gentle temperament had long since disappeared. Looking at Soul Kill, she felt rather resentful: "I asked you to take that elixir a few days ago. It is just to make you suffer the punishment after confessing to the leader, not to torment yourself like this. The medicine is only to unearth your potential, as long as you are alive and kicking a few days ago, if you continue to ignore your body like this, you will definitely die It hurts."

"Understood." Soul Killing glanced at the cuffs that Lan Zhi was pulling, but he didn't say anything as he never allowed others to get close to him. He responded casually, then pulled out his sleeves and wanted to leave.

"Remember to go to the medicine pavilion to take a medicinal bath in the afternoon. If you don't go, you don't have to come to the medicine pavilion in the future. Why should I meddle in saving people who don't know how to take care of their own bodies?" Lan Zhi's voice came from my ear The voice, the Soul Killer who stepped out of the front hall curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

Gu Yan, who left the Killing Heaven Sect, galloped all the way without stopping, and the moment he learned that Chu Ying was going to perform the mission alone, he felt as if his heart was seized by something.

It is indeed a challenge for Yingying to let the guardian perform the assassination mission. Fortunately, although Yingying's martial arts is not as good as soul killing, his hiding ability is unmatched. He was able to complete the mission in his previous life, and he must have escaped with this ability.

However, even though Shadow Eater returned from his mission in the previous life, he also returned to the teaching three months later. He didn't know what happened in those three months, but nothing good would happen.

Gu Yan asked himself, if he really didn't see Chu Ying for three months, and didn't know his life or death, and didn't know if Chu Ying was well fed and slept well, then what would he do?

Damn, it hurts to think about it.

Chewing Shadow, do I still care about you more and more? If I catch you this time, I will never let you go, even if I break your wings as you said.

Killing Heaven Sect is about ten days away from Huaiyang on horseback, and the Oiran Competition in Luoshen Lake will be held in about half a month, so I still have time to find Chu Ying.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan felt certain.Gaifeng under him sensed the anxiety in his master's heart. A thousand-mile horse travels thousands of miles a day, wearing stars and moons all the way, but in eight days, he arrived at a town called Jiangshuo, which is only half a day away from Huaiyang.

Knowing that Huaiyang was right in front of him, Gu Yan was not in a hurry. He knew the hidden ability of the Shadow Eater, and he probably wouldn't show up until the owner of the Ant Building appeared.

That being the case, he made a good search around to find more escape routes for himself and Chu Ying, it would be great if he could find Chu Ying.

Gu Yan walked all the way, his speed was extremely fast, but he didn't know that as soon as he entered the small town of Jiangshuo, Yingying followed him into the city.

Although Chu Ying walked a day earlier than Gu Yan, and the horses under him were better than ordinary horses, but it was not as good as the wind that Gu Yan traveled thousands of miles every day, and Gu Yan only wanted to catch up with Chu Ying, so Along the way, he seldom stopped, but he didn't expect to come half a quarter earlier than Yingying in the end.

The two missed each other like this in the last town, but at that time, Shadow Devourer was in front and Gu Yan was behind, but now the two missed again, but it can only be said to be God's will.

Gu Yan found a decent restaurant in Jiangshuo, so he wanted to have lunch and rest here.

"Xiaoer, find me an elegant seat upstairs by the window." Gu Yan handed the reins to the second-hander at the door and ordered.

The waiter in the restaurant was all smiles, but said a little embarrassed: "Guest officer, can you be wronged and eat in the lobby, the private rooms upstairs are all full, only one or two seats are left in the lobby."

Seeing that Gu Yan hesitated slightly, the waiter went on to say, "Because the time for the Oiran Contest is approaching and there are many people who come to watch it, so the other restaurants and inns are also overcrowded. The guest officer might as well dine here, and it will save the trouble. Do a search."

Gu Yan thought for a while that he might dictate useful news in the lobby, so he nodded in agreement.

Entering the lobby, Gu Yan glanced casually. Although this restaurant is a bit simple, it is also decorated more elegantly. Everyone is chatting at a table of three or five people. Gu Yan heard all the trivial things about the Oiran Contest.

After ordering two special dishes and a few side dishes, he ordered a pot of flower carvings, and Gu Yan poured himself a drink on an empty table in the corner.

At this time, the sea bass was beautiful, and the steamed taste was excellent. A steamed sea bass served with a pot of Huadiao made Gu Yan, who has always been picky, squint his eyes in enjoyment.

I don't know if Shadow Eater is also tasting this sea bass somewhere?Thinking of this, Gu Yan glanced at the people in the hall, thought about Chu Ying's temperament, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Chewing Ying's temperament, I'm afraid he will just huddle in a corner and eat some dry food to satisfy his hunger. He sighed, but when he tasted the sea bass, he felt that his mouth had no taste at all.

"Have you ever heard that the mysterious owner of the ant building will also come here to watch the oiran contest held every three years." Gu Yan paused his fingers, and listened with interest.

"With the identity of the owner of the leaning building, will he come here to watch the oiran competition?" The people next to him were also curious.

"You guys don't know that. The owner of this ant building is the most romantic and unrestrained. In recent years, he has become very interested in beauties for some reason. He won't let go of this oiran contest. Not a single leaf touches your body. It's a pity that that handsome young man has aroused so many girls' hearts." The man talked eloquently, which aroused the amazement of the crowd.

"How do you know so clearly?" Everyone was even more curious.

The man complacently said: "My cousin's family is a friend of the third aunt's son who works in a property in the ant building."

"..."

The people who had just entered the restaurant paused for a moment when they heard everyone's discussion, and saw that there were still vacant seats in the corner, so they walked straight in the direction of Gu Yan.

"I don't know if it's convenient for you, brother, to share the table with me." Gu Yan looked up, the man in the backlight couldn't see his face clearly, and two attendants, a man and a woman, followed behind him.

Gu Yan glanced casually, and saw that the two people behind him walked steadily, and they were both people with internal strength. This person was probably just a kid from a rich family who came to play.

The man didn't wait for Gu Yan to agree, he sat down in front of Gu Yan, Gu Yan curled his lips, but ignored him, and then began to drink by himself.

The man sat down but was not in a hurry to order, but said to Gu Yan: "Meeting is fate, I don't know your name?"

Gu Yan really wanted to ask a question: Xiongtai, are you acquainted?

Thinking about it, Gu Yan had to put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the man, but when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of Danfeng eyes that were very similar to Si Guo.

That person has delicate features, not very handsome, but a pair of eyes are extremely eye-catching, it can be said to be the finishing touch, making this person who should have been buried in the crowd stand out immediately, but when you look closely, it is very easy to ignore this person The presence.

He was three points less lazy than Si Guo, but three points more refreshing. Such contradictory feelings appeared in the same person, and it was actually very harmonious.This person, I'm afraid it will not be that simple.

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, Gu Yan said without changing his face: "Gu Ying." If his family Chu Ying knew that he used this name, what would he think?Can't wait to know, what should I do?

The man clicked the name in his mouth with great interest, then smiled and said: "My name is Su Jinyan."

Gu Yan recalled for a while that he seemed to have never heard of this name in Jianghu. If he hadn't thought about it too much, he might have used an alias, but then he heard this person ask: "Brother Gu, did you come here to watch the Oiran Contest?" Come."

"No." Gu Yan replied with two words very face-saving.

"Coincidentally, I didn't come here for this matter," the man continued, "I came here to chase my wife."

chasing wife?Hmm, that seems like a good word.
