"No, I'm here to wait for you to go out together." Ye Wuchen replied.
Um? What does this mean? Gu Qingxi didn't understand for a moment.
Didn't Senior Brother Ye open the hidden level by himself? Didn't he come to find him? Talling did it? Gu Qingxi immediately thought of this level.
"Waiting for you to pass the level." Ye Wuchen said briefly.
This is a level that belongs to Gu Qingxi, and it is also an opportunity that belongs to Gu Qingxi. He will not interfere.
Gu Qingxi also understood what Ye Wuchen expressed.
There seems to be no problem in doing so.
No, there is another problem. Gu Qingxi looked at the guard clothes on Ye Wuchen, and finally said hesitantly: "So, are Senior Brother Ye going to find a place to rest and wait for me?"
Just as Ye Wuchen was about to answer, Ta Ling's voice rang in his mind: "Continue to act as a guard next to her and help her investigate the strange things happening in the city. Otherwise, don't even think about going out."
"No, I will work with you to help you pass the test." Ye Wuchen replied.
This is different from what you just said. Gu Qingxi wondered, are men so fickle?
"Senior Brother Ye, the task for this level is for me to investigate the strange things that happened in the city and solve them." Although Gu Qingxi was a little confused about Ye Wuchen's change of heart, she didn't say anything more and started to share her information.
"Assist in your investigation." Ye Wuchen said briefly.
Gu Qingxi understood that Ye Wuchen meant that his mission was to assist her in investigating the strange things happening in the city. Is this a temporary task assigned to him by Talling?
"After I came here, I was the youngest daughter of the city lord's family. I was raised in a village outside the city. I was brought back to the city lord's mansion two days ago. The city lord has four children. I have an elder brother and a sister. There is also a younger brother. My elder brother and older sister are the offspring of the same mother. Their mother is the first city lord’s wife. I am the offspring of the second city lord’s wife. My younger brother is the offspring of the current city lord’s wife. As for the strange things in the city, this It's been two days and I haven't found anything wrong." Gu Qingxi detailed her identity in the hidden level.
"I am your bodyguard." Ye Wuchen said expressionlessly.
"This is the guard I picked up on the roadside this morning, and I randomly named him Jiayi." Gu Qingxi added. This was the information that had just flooded into her mind.
Ye Wuchen said nothing, but turned to look out the window, wondering what he was thinking about.
Gu Qingxi didn't speak for the time being, but sat at the table, opened the roast duck that Ye Wuchen had just placed on the table, took out a delicate little dagger, wiped it with a handkerchief, and started to slice the roast duck. .
Ye Wuchen looked at Gu Qingxi in confusion: "In the illusion, it's fake." Obviously, what he wanted to say was that in the illusion, everything was fake. Gu Qingxi would eat this fake roast duck without thinking. It's easy to fall into a trap if it doesn't have a real taste. Who knows what the thing in the fantasy is actually like roast duck?
Gu Qingxi looked up at Ye Wuchen and suddenly smiled, as bright as a flower, which made people suffocate.
"Everything here is real, this is not an illusion." Gu Qingxi said this.
Ye Wuchen's pupils shrank sharply, and finally he was no longer as calm as before. He frowned and looked out the window into the distance, then turned to look at the roast duck in Gu Qingxi's hand.
Gu Qingxi slowly stuffed a piece of roast duck into his mouth, with a satisfied expression: "It tastes good, and it deserves to be a time-honored brand."
"When did you find out?" Ye Wuchen asked in a deep voice.
"A quarter of an hour after coming in." Gu Qingxi said slowly while eating roast duck, "Like you, when I first came in, I thought this was an illusion like other levels. But later I found out that everything was just Real. We were transported to a real place."
Ye Wuchen sat opposite Gu Qingxi and said in a clear voice, "Do you know anything about it? Something strange happened."
Gu Qingxi raised her head and looked at the handsome and cold man in front of her, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: "This man really cherishes his words like gold."
"Not yet, but the tower spirit asked us to investigate the strange things that happened in the city. And my identity is the youngest daughter of the city lord. In addition to making it easier for me to do things, is this so-called strange thing also related to the city lord's mansion?" Although Gu Qingxi He complained in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he analyzed it with Ye Wuchen.
"Yeah." Gu Qingxi responded with a word of grace.
"I'm going back to the City Lord's Mansion in a moment. Put this on." A beautiful mask suddenly appeared out of thin air in Gu Qingxi's hand, and she handed the mask to Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen's face was really eye-catching. The beauty is breathtaking and incomparable. Taking it back to the City Lord's Mansion like this will definitely cause trouble.
"Where did you come from?" Ye Wuchen wondered.
"It's in my storage bracelet." Gu Qingxi answered as he should.
Ye Wuchen: ...So it's just that his spiritual power was disabled and he became a mortal, but Gu Qingxi didn't?
"Can you still use spiritual power? Is there any limit to your strength?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"No." Gu Qingxi shook his head.
So only Ye Wuchen became a mortal, and Gu Qingxi was still a monk who could use spiritual power.
Ye Wuchen: ...he could see Ta Ling's preference for Gu Qingxi.
Ye Wuchen took the mask and put it on. Hearing the footsteps outside the house, Ye Wuchen stood up and stood behind Gu Qingxi, playing the role of a guard responsibly.
Gu Qingxi continued to eat roast duck when there was a knock on the door: "Miss, it's time to go back. If the Lord of the City doesn't see you, he will be worried."
"I know." Gu Qingxi responded, put away the dagger and walked towards the door.
Ye Wuchen lowered his head and followed behind. Following Gu Qingxi were two maids and four bodyguards. Ye Wuchen is one of them.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city. It is also the largest building with the largest number of houses.
Gu Qingxi's carriage stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. A maid immediately stepped forward to lift the door curtain and put a small stool in place to make it easier for her to get out of the car.
The City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, and every guard is in good spirits. After seeing Gu Qingxi, they all bowed their heads and saluted, very respectfully.
Ye Wuchen followed behind, observing the surroundings. He was also thinking about where the tower spirit had teleported them.
"Miss, the Lord of the City is waiting for you in the study." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came forward and said respectfully.
"Thank you for taking care of the house." Gu Qingxi nodded and walked towards the study.
When he arrived at the study, Gu Qingxi opened the door directly and entered.
The maids and guards stopped at the door of the study and stood waiting for Gu Qingxi.
This was not the first time that Gu Qingxi met the city lord. When she was taken back to the city lord's mansion two days ago, she had met the city lord and his wife. Today is the second time to meet the city lord.
The city lord is dressed in dark blue clothes with cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. He looks to be in his forties. He has two very recognizable beards. His appearance is considered handsome. He seems to like to frown very much. There is an obvious word "Sichuan" between his eyebrows. The whole person looked very serious.
This city lord is a monk. Moreover, his cultivation level is already at the golden elixir stage.
