Based on Shi Xiaohan's previous description, Gu Xu knew that Shi Lei, a Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture, was a tough-minded and capable official.
All the officials in the Exorcism Department of Laizhou Prefecture were in awe of him.
But at home, this Shi Qianhu is a complete "daughter control".
Shi Xiaohan is Shi Lei's only child.
For more than ten years, he has always regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, holding it in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.
Even though the father and daughter are now hundreds of miles apart, Shi Lei still writes letters to Shi Xiaohan every day. The contents of the letters are similar to "Have you had enough for three meals today?", "Did your colleagues bully you today?" "Did Chen Xi take good care of you today?", "Remember to bring the amulet I gave you when you go out to do the task", "Be sure to remember to put out the fire when you go out"...such things are trivial for parents.
Shi Xiaohan often showed these letters to Gu Xu, and complained to him: "My father is so annoying! I am seventeen years old now, and I am still an eighth-rank official! He actually treats me as a child! Every day Nagging about these trivial things in letters is simply more verbose than the old lady who washes dishes at home!"
Whenever he heard her remarks like this, Gu Xu would smile and say to her: "Xiaohan, you have to try to understand that your father also has his difficulties - you and your daughter are the closest relatives in the world, but you can't live together Being so far away, it is inevitable that he will always be thinking about your safety, your health, and whether you are happy..."
"But I can take care of myself now!" Shi Xiaohan pouted, still feeling dissatisfied.
Gu Xu sighed lightly and said no more.
In his previous life, when he was studying in college abroad, his parents would make video calls to him every day, asking him time and time again, "Is the food in the cafeteria delicious?", "Have you added any clothes since the temperature has dropped today?" Meeting a female classmate I like” and other issues.
At that time, he was also very impatient with his parents' nagging.
But now, when he came to this different world alone and became an orphan whose parents both died, he missed the feeling of being cared about very much.
"I didn't expect that I would have to meet Shi Xiaohan's father so soon..." Gu Xu thought to himself as he looked at the notice of "Magic Token".
Perhaps because he noticed Shi Xiaohan's thoughts about him a few days ago, Gu Xu's mood at this time was still a bit complicated.
After all, if he didn't have the talent of [Unlucky Genius] - or if he didn't have the "Purple Fate" that shortened his life, this journey to the Laoshan ruins to explore the inheritance of immortals would also become his first This is my first trip to meet my future father-in-law.
"No matter what, I must make serious preparations when I go to the Immortal Cave in the first month of next year," he thought. "Although I don't know whether the things left by Kongxuan Sanren will help me with my life span, as long as it is extremely If there is any hope, I will try my best.
"As far as I know, the monks who went to Laoshan Immortal Cave this time have the highest cultivation level in the fourth realm.
"Although I possess the 'Jinghong Pen' and recently mastered the 'Firefly Flame' spell in the 'Seven Styles of Burning Heaven', I can still not fall behind even in a head-to-head confrontation with a third-level monk.
"However, every monk in the 'Shenji Camp' is a cultivation genius carefully selected from all over the country, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps - I cannot be careless in competing with them for the inheritance of immortals.
"Kong Xuan Sanren will probably set quite difficult tests for those who come after him in his cave.
"Furthermore, since a mysterious massacre occurred around Laoshan in the first year of Tianxing, it has always been a dangerous area often haunted by demons and ghosts. Although Xiaohan's father sometimes escorted us all the way, it was difficult for him to Take good care of all the young monks in the reserve force of the 'Shenji Camp'.
"I must have the ability to protect myself and prepare enough trump cards for myself. I must not completely rely on others for my life safety."
Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out another booklet from the drawer and quickly wrote on the paper with charcoal:
“My November practice goals:
"First, practice hard and strive to break through to the realm of 'The Sixth Song of Huangquan' as soon as possible;
"Second, master more uses of the 'Jinghong Brush' as soon as possible - if it can breed new weapon spirits, that would be great;
“Third, become proficient in using ‘Firefly Flame’ as soon as possible, and try to understand the second form of the ‘Seven Forms of Burning Sky’;
“Fourth, draw all kinds of talismans, the more the better;
"..."

This afternoon.
Princess Zhaoning Xiao Wanjun rode a gorgeously decorated carriage to the headquarters of the Exorcism Department located on the northwest outskirts of Luojing City.
Although Princess Zhaoning has a distinguished status.
But when she arrived, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, was still sitting calmly on the observatory, concentrating on playing the seven-stringed guqin.
Only Shangguan Jin was sent to greet her at the door of the Exorcism Department.
As soon as he saw Princess Zhaoning, Shangguan Jin bowed his head and saluted her, and at the same time asked: "Your Highness, the princess, is visiting the headquarters of the Exorcism Department today. Why are you doing so?"
They were both good-looking young women.
Princess Zhaoning is known as "the most beautiful woman in Luo Jing". She has a graceful figure, beautiful eyebrows, and a pair of majestic and charming eyes. Although she is wearing men's clothes and no makeup, it does not diminish her beauty. , but added a bit of valiant and neat heroic spirit to her.
As for Shangguan Jin, although her facial features are not particularly exquisite and beautiful, she is better than her long figure and slender waist. Although at first glance, she does not seem to be stained with rouge, but in fact, she is quite She carefully used many makeup techniques to make herself look pure, refined, and charming.
The two stood in the sunshine, forming an extremely beautiful scenery.
"I want to come to the Exorcism Department to investigate the files of the personnel of the 'Shenji Battalion'," Princess Zhaoning replied, "There is a person in the reserve force of the 'Shenji Battalion' whose code name is 'Suzaku'. I am somewhat interested in him and want to come." Find out who he is."
Upon hearing the word "Suzaku", Shangguan Jin suddenly became interested.
The last time in the "Realm of Discussing the Tao", she was accidentally tricked by the "Suzaku", causing the duel to fail, losing one point, and ranking behind that guy Chu Fengge.
She has always been upset about this.
At the same time, she was also very curious about what kind of person "Suzaku" was in reality, who could actually decipher the "shooting star walking on the moon" footwork.
She has been unable to investigate this simply because she does not have the authority.
And now, the opportunity to know the identity of "Suzaku" has finally come.
PS: Ask for a double monthly pass! Thanks! !
