"Gu Xu, I sent you here today."
When he was still about a hundred meters away from the Exorcism Department of Laizhou Prefecture, Chen Jisheng suddenly stopped and said to Gu Xu beside him.
"Are you going back?"
"Yes," Chen Jisheng nodded, "Yishui Yamen still has many things that I need to deal with. In the next few days, you need to take care of yourself."
"Master Chen, don't worry," Gu Xu said with a slight smile, "I dare not say anything else, but I am still confident in self-protection."
Hearing this, Chen Jisheng glanced at Gu Xu's pocket.
He could guess without thinking that Gu Xu was now equipped with "Breaking Sky Beads", "Substitute Bracelets", "Jinghong Pens", and hundreds of various talismans and seals.
"Without further ado, I wish you all the best!" Chen Jisheng also smiled and reached out to pat Gu Xu on the shoulder.
After that, he turned around and left without caring.
Gu Xu stood quietly, watching Chen Jisheng's figure disappear from the end of his field of vision.
"Master Chen, you should also take care of yourself." He said softly.
Then, he turned around and walked along the gray marble stairs into the solemn door of the Exorcism Department.
…………
Shi Lei sat in the lobby of the Yamen, silently sizing up the young man walking towards him.
I saw that his face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like bright stars, he looked handsome and elegant, and he had a good demeanor.
Although there is still a bit of childishness on his face, his eyes are calm and profound - neither excited nor nervous, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
Although Shi Lei, as the chief of the first government, has already seen countless people.
But he had to admit that among all the geniuses from the "Shenji Camp" who arrived in Laizhou Mansion, the young man in front of him had the most outstanding appearance and temperament.
"This boy is so handsome. He must have caused trouble to many girls since he was young!" Shi Lei couldn't help but comment in his mind.
Then, the young man took a step forward, bowed to Shi Lei and said:
"Gu Xu, who is from the Yishui Exorcism Department in Xiaguan, has met Mr. Shi!"
Hearing his words, Shi Lei was stunned for a moment.
"May I have your name?"
"The lower official's surname is Gu and his given name is Xu. He holds a post in the Yishui Exorcism Department."
Having said this, Gu Xu showed his "Magic Token" in front of Shi Lei.
Shi Lei saw a clear "Suzaku" pattern on the back of the token.
"Are you Suzaku?" He frowned slightly.
"Yes, sir." Gu Xu replied politely.
"Yishui people?"
"Yes."
"Did you solve the Lu family's murderous house case?"
"Yes."
"Is the new owner of 'Jinghong Pen' also you?"
"Yes."
Shi Lei's expression suddenly became alert.
He clearly remembered that Shi Xiaohan described the appearance of the young man named Gu Xu in his heart as "so-so".
But when he saw it today, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart——
"This is not 'so-so', this is simply 'Yushu Linfeng', 'Exiled Immortal's Watch'!"
"That girl Shi Xiaohan dared to lie to me!"
"When she grows up, not only does she become tough-talking, but she actually becomes a liar!"
Shi Lei knew his daughter well and knew that although she didn't admit it with her mouth, she was a real "face control" in her heart.
If such a handsome young man appeared next to her, I'm afraid the girl wouldn't be able to take her eyes away.
What's more, they work in the same yamen and see each other every day.
What's more, according to the recent news in the Di newspaper, this young man can be regarded as one of the best among people. Not only is his talent for cultivation extremely outstanding, but he has also done many things that ordinary people cannot do, and has been appreciated by the head of the exorcism department.
What's more, many of the geniuses who came to Laizhou Prefecture Yamen to report mentioned "Gu Xu" or "Suzaku", which obviously proves that this person is outstanding even in the "Shenji Camp".
Such a bright person was described by his daughter as "okay", "okay", "much worse than me"...
There must be something going on between these two people!
Thinking of this, Shi Lei narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't really care about his future son-in-law's family background.
Even compared to having Shi Xiaohan marry into a noble family, get involved in the vortex of power, fight with others day and night, and sometimes have to compete with her husband's concubines for favor...
He would rather let her marry a relatively ordinary person, but someone who cares about her enough and is willing to protect her from wind and rain.
After all, Shi Xiaohan's character was not one for scheming.
If you fight with others, you will probably be eaten in two days without leaving any bones.
Anyway, Shi's family has plenty of money, enough for them to spend their lives safely without any worries.
Although the young man in front of him was born a commoner, his conditions were extremely excellent, both in appearance and in terms of his cultivation potential.
If they were really in love, Shi Lei wouldn't stop them.
"I just don't know what his character is like..." Shi Lei thought as he held up the black gauze hat on his head, "This boy named Gu Xu is so handsome, and because of his talent and the favor of the chief executive, he , will definitely occupy a place on the stage of power in Daqi in the future... In the minds of girls from the Daqi Dynasty, they must have extraordinary charm...
"I'm really not sure whether he will be a prostitute outside in the future... Even if he is really a gentleman now, I can't guarantee that he will be able to resist the temptation outside after he becomes famous... After all, power and wealth are important Can easily corrupt a person..."
"Oh, how wonderful it would be if all the men in the world were as dedicated as me!
"Also, that girl Shi Xiaohan actually lied in front of me for this brat! Did she not even want me as her father after she had a lover?
"..."
…………
Gu Xu might never have imagined——
As a daughter-controller through and through, Shi Lei had already considered the hidden dangers that might arise in their married life after vaguely guessing that there might be something fishy about the relationship between Gu Xu and his precious daughter.
Gu Xu only saw Shi Lei sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face, silent for a long time, and seemed to be in a somewhat unhappy mood.
After a while, Shi Lei looked at him seriously and said slowly: "Gu Xu, you are an official in Yishui, so you should know my daughter Shi Xiaohan, right?"
"I do know you, sir." Gu Xu nodded and answered honestly.
At the same time, Gu Xu was thinking in his mind: I remember Shi Xiaohan said that her father was an amiable and easy-to-talk person - but why does it look like he wants to give me a blow today? Is it because she mentioned me in her letter? But the question is, how does she describe our relationship? Did she ever reveal to her father that she had thoughts about me?
