Star City.
The door of the cafe was suddenly opened, and Luo Yin, dressed in Lolita, came out, holding a basin of water and throwing it outside.
The expressions of the two men standing at the door changed slightly, and they dodged to the side at the same time, and then glared at Luo Yin.
"What are you looking at? Who is such a good person who is working as a doorkeeper here when he has nothing to do? I will use boiling water next time!"
"you……"
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhou Zhen quickly came out, grinned at the two men at the door, and pulled Luo Yin back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my child is ignorant. Are you two cold? Do you want to come in and have a cup of coffee?"
One of the men sighed and said: "Captain Zhou, we don't want to embarrass you. As long as you take us to see Gu Yuan, we can go back and recover."
"Oh, aren't you just making things difficult for me?" Zhou Zhen said with a headache, "Didn't I tell you? Gu Yuan went out to solve the demon realm. As a priest, this is what he is best at. Someone has to do these things, right?”
Another man immediately took a step forward.
"As the captain of the first team of the Star Town Demon Division, Gu Yuan is your team member. Don't you know where he went?"
"It's hard to say. I haven't been able to contact him in the past few days. Maybe he is in the demon realm? Besides, he won't stay in one place." Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "Yes. Otherwise, you go back first, and when Gu Yuan comes back, I will ask him to find you, how about that?"
The two men looked at each other and said nothing.
It was impossible to leave.
Their mission in coming to Star City was to confirm whether Gu Yuan was in Star City now.
If they returned to the Ling family with this information, they might not even be able to see Ling Guiyu in person, and would be kicked to death first.
"Captain Zhou, we are also following orders, why are you making things difficult for us?"
When Zhou Zhen heard this, his face immediately sank.
"You are so shameless, your Ling family's hand is stretched too far, isn't it? When will I, the squad leader of the Demon Suppression Division, have to give you an explanation?"
After speaking, Zhou Zhen closed the door without waiting for the other party to reply.
…
Beijing.
View Longshan.
Elder Ai glanced at Cui Yingxiong sitting in front of him, his face serious.
"In other words, it was indeed Ling Feng who wanted to kill Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan killed him instead, right?"
"Indeed." Cui Yingxiong said.
"Do many people know about this matter?"
Cui Yingxiong shook his head: "According to your instructions, act in secret."
Elder Ai sighed and nodded, his frown still unfurled.
And this was what Cui Yingxiong expected.
He knew from the beginning what the real headache for Elder Ai and the others was.
Even if the truth is true, the Ling family will not buy it.
After a moment of silence, Cui Yingxiong suddenly said: "One code, one code. Ling Feng wanted to kill someone, and Gu Yuan just fought back in self-defense. There is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, with Gu Yuan's strength, it is impossible not to use Fu Zhuan." Ling Feng’s opponent.”
Elder Ai was stunned and looked at Cui Yingxiong in front of him with some surprise. After a while, he said with a smile: "If this happened in the past, you would definitely not say these words. It seems that Guicheng and his party, you have no respect for Gu This guy Yuan is full of good impressions."
Cui Yingxiong smiled: "Daxia needs more young people like Gu Yuan. I'm just stating the facts."
Elder Ai stood up and paced back and forth.
After pondering for a moment, he turned around, looked at Cui Yingxiong, and asked, "Who took Gu Yuan away?"
"The housekeeper of the Li family, I have met him before."
"Walk."
"ah?"
"Go to Li's house and have a look."
Cui Yingxiong nodded quickly and followed Elder Ai towards the outside, but he was a little uneasy.
Elder Ai seemed to be aware of his thoughts and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will attack Gu Yuan?"
"This..." Cui Yingxiong hesitated.
"What are you talking about? When did you and I need to be secretive?" Elder Ai was dissatisfied with Cui Yingxiong's current attitude.
Cui Yingxiong no longer hesitated and said directly: "Then let me tell you straight, Elder Ai, I think Ling Guiyu is getting more and more excessive now. The Ling family is just a family in Daxia. When did we start to do this? Are you arrogant anymore? I know that Ling Guiyu is in a bad mood after his son dies, but as a person from Guanlong Mountain, he should have rules when doing things, but he is not as unscrupulous as he is now!"
After a pause, Cui Yingxiong continued: "The people we sent to Star City to investigate also said that the Ling family also sent people. Are they worried about Guanlong Mountain? Or do they want to strike first? I think... this is inappropriate. !”
Elder Ai turned to look at him and couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that you are also very resentful towards the Ling family."
Cui Yingxiong also realized that he was a little excited. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "You asked me this. If you didn't ask, I wouldn't say anything."
"Even if you don't say it, you still have resentment in your heart, right?"
Cui Yingxiong thought for a long time and said, "Elder, is this what you think?"
"It is indeed difficult to handle." Elder Ai gave a bitter smile, "It is good that the Ling family and Gu Yuan have a personal grudge, but the Ling family has indeed made many contributions to Daxia over the years. This cannot be dismissed casually. Yes, besides...Lingqiao is also in Northern Xinjiang now."
Cui Yingxiong nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, we arrived at Li’s house.
After sitting down and drinking two cups of tea, I met Mrs. Li.
In Cui Yingxiong's view, this is a very abnormal thing.
After all, with Mrs. Li's style of doing things, she would definitely arrive as soon as she knew Elder Ai was coming.
When they met, Cui Yingxiong was shocked by the first words Mrs. Li said.
"Elder Ai, let's take a step to talk first."
Cui Yingxiong found it incredible. After all, there was no one else here except the three of them.
Mrs. Li's meaning was very clear. Even she couldn't listen to what they were going to discuss next.
Cui Yingxiong, who was very discerning, immediately stood up, smiled and said: "That's not necessary, I'll go out for a walk first. I don't come to Li's house often, and I really want to visit."
Mrs. Li laughed and called Li Zhe in from outside.
"Let's take Cui Xingjun around."
"Yes, old lady!"
Li Zhe's expression was also weird, and he always felt that the old lady's behavior was a bit offending.
He couldn't even believe that this was what the old lady did.
Elder Ai's expression was expressionless. After Li Zhe and Cui Yingxiong left, his expression gradually became serious.
"About the Bronze Sacred Tree." The old lady said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Ai immediately became nervous.
"Is there something wrong with the sacred tree?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and continued: "The sacred tree has signed a contract with Gu Yuan. From today on, Gu Yuan becomes the new guardian of the sacred tree."
"What?" Elder Ai's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously stood up.
