Very soon, the three of them finished eating.
Liu Mingrui shamelessly insisted on taking Gu Chenan to go drinking at a nightclub.
She said that she hadn't had a good drink in such a long time on the battlefield, so today no matter what she was going to make Gu Chenan take her out drinking.
Gu Chenan was also completely done with this.
Who didn't know that drinking easily leads to reckless behavior? Was she trying to get me drunk and take advantage of me?
No way was I going to fall for her trap!
Gu Chenan firmly refused, and even took the time to sternly lecture Liu Mingrui.
He said things like the goddess of war can't go to places like that, and the youngest female general absolutely can't go to places like that, and young people from prestigious families are easily targeted by bad people, and so on.
Anyway, Gu Chenan said everything he should say.
Although Liu Mingrui was so angry with Gu Chenan's serious attitude that her teeth itched, she was unable to refute him.
After all, everything Gu Chenan said was completely right and proper.
Even though Liu Mingrui was unhappy in her heart, she had nothing to say. She could only dejectedly take her leave.
As for Su Qianmo, compared to Liu Mingrui she was much more reasonable. Seeing that Gu Chenan had already spent so much time with them today, even though she was reluctant, she didn't say anything.
She only said some words about Gu Chenan taking care of himself and resting early, before taking her leave as well.
Watching the two women's cars gradually drive away, Gu Chenan heaved a huge sigh of relief.
These two girls really are hard to deal with!
Just as Gu Chenan took out his car keys preparing to leave as well, Zhang Fuyang came jogging over with an obsequious smile on his face.
"Mr. Gu, were you satisfied today?" he asked somewhat nervously.
Gu Chenan nodded. "Not bad, quite satisfied."
"Thank you for Mr. Gu's approval. This is the greatest honor for our Tianhai."
After speaking, Zhang Fuyang swallowed and said, "Mr. Gu...could I take a photo with you to use for...promotion?"
Gu Chenan's identity was well known throughout Donghai. If he could get Gu Chenan to advertise for his private swimming pool Tianhai, then the number of customers would surely skyrocket.
Even though this was an inappropriate request, in order to increase customers Zhang Fuyang still reluctantly opened his mouth to ask Gu Chenan.
Hearing Zhang Fuyang's words, Gu Chenan was stunned for a few seconds.
Damn, use my image for your promotion?
No way, right?
My image in Donghai is terrible. If you really use me for promotion, people who don't know better might think your place offers some kind of illicit services.
But speaking of which, seeing this mob character Zhang Fuyang who mocked Lin Yu in the plot act so deferentially towards him did give Gu Chenan a bit of dark satisfaction.
Since he didn't look down on me, I shouldn't decline either.
"Sure," Gu Chenan nodded.
Zhang Fuyang's face instantly lit up with a smile. He immediately waved towards one of the qipao-clad maids.
That maid came over holding a camera.
"Mr. Gu, may I ask if I can put my arm around your shoulder?" Zhang Fuyang asked nervously.
"Go ahead," said Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan stood up straight, giving a thumbs up, while Zhang Fuyang placed his hand on Gu Chenan's shoulder.
Snap!
The camera flashed.
"Thank you Mr. Gu!" Zhang Fuyang said excitedly.
"No problem," Gu Chenan waved his hand and got into his car.
"Mr. Gu, please come by anytime. From now on you're an honored guest of Tianhai, all expenses are completely free of charge!" said Zhang Fuyang.
"Thank you Boss Zhang."
Gu Chenan nodded, started the car, and drove away from the parking lot.
Zhang Fuyang watched Gu Chenan's car until it disappeared into the traffic before turning back around.
"How did the photo turn out? Let me see," he said.
The qipao-clad maid opened up the photo. "Please take a look."
Zhang Fuyang glanced at it and nodded satisfied. "Very good, very good."
"Boss Zhang, how should we promote this? Should we print out this photo as a large advertisement poster?" asked the maid.
Zhang Fuyang rolled his eyes at her. "Too tacky!"
"Upload this photo to Tianhai's official Weibo, and the caption..."
Zhang Fuyang stroked his chin thinking for a moment. "The caption will say Mr. Gu came to Tianhai with Miss Su and Miss Liu, and all three were very satisfied with Tianhai. Have the PR team think of the specific wording."
"Yes, Boss Zhang."
...
Half an hour later, Gu Chenan returned to the Gu residence.
The sky wasn't too dark yet, so the servants were all busy with their own tasks.
Bai Yutian was wiping down the door handles in the hallway with a cloth.
When everyone saw Gu Chenan return, they immediately stopped what they were doing. "Young Master Gu."
"Mm," Gu Chenan nodded, his gaze passing over the crowd to look at Bai Yutian in the hallway.
Today Bai Yutian was wearing a white blouse with a gray mini skirt. Her legs were still clad in white stockings.
Only today her stockings had a pattern.
On her feet were a pair of thick-heeled white pumps.
Her whole being appeared sweet and dazzling, making it impossible to look away.
【Hiss~ Patterned white stockings, so sexy!】
【I wonder what they feel like, I want to touch them!】
【F*ck, sneak into Bai Yutian's room tonight when everyone's asleep, steal these stockings and feel them up?】
【Or...show off with them?】
As soon as this dangerous thought appeared, Gu Chenan was frightened by himself.
What the f*ck, why am I having such perverted thoughts?
No good, is my character going to collapse!
I'd better hurry back to my room and rest. This must be because too many things happened today!
Yes, that must be it!
I'm a righteous gentleman, not a perverted creep!
Gu Chenan withdrew his gaze, walked upstairs with his eyes fixed straight ahead and entered his room.
But Bai Yutian, having heard Gu Chenan's thoughts, gave a small startled reaction.
Young Master wants to...steal...my stockings?
Hm?
I didn't mishear that right?
A blush appeared on Bai Yutian's cheeks. She felt a bit shy but also somewhat expectant.
Bang!
Gu Chenan closed the door, stretched his neck and back, then let out a long exhale.
The ancient martial arts competition plot line was originally meant to highlight Lin Yu's talent, but who would've thought it would end up highlighting him instead.
Thinking of the possible butterfly effects that could happen after news of him winning the competition championship spreads out, Gu Chenan felt a headache coming on.
Lin Yu would be 100% determined to get rid of him, and all of Donghai would think he was quite skilled.
One thing leads to another, who knows what other troubles could occur.
The plot line of Elder Liu's birthday banquet was coming up soon. Gu Chenan could only pray in his heart that that Liu Bu Fan wouldn't provoke him.
Otherwise he really would be riding a tiger and hard to get off.
Ding dong~
Just then, Gu Chenan's phone rang.
He picked up his phone and saw it was a text from an unknown number.
"Thank you Mr. Gu for preventing Lin Yu from winning the championship today. To thank you, I am willing to pass down my family's ancient martial arts to you."
"I don't dare say that I will be your master, but I sincerely hope that Mr. Gu will accept my thanks."
"Without Mr. Gu, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
It was signed—Tang Yunjin of the Tang family.
Tang...Tang Yunjin?
Gu Chenan looked at his phone, his pupils trembling.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!
