Outside the clothing store.
Due to the excessively long time the girl took to select clothes, Gu Yan and Bai Jun sat on the bench outside and started chatting.
Bai Jun took the lead: "Gu Yan, the murder case involving Xiao Lin has been suppressed by us."
"Since it's a martial arts event, it cannot be disclosed to the public. I hope you can understand."
The incident where Xiao Lin suddenly went on a killing spree that night was already known to the Martial Arts Department.
Due to its extremely malicious nature and the numerous eyewitnesses who saw Xiao Lin escape by jumping out of the window,
More importantly, according to the deceased's family member Wang Yulan, the deceased was also Gu Yan's teacher.
This made the situation quite difficult.
Firstly, the Gu Family is indeed a large martial arts family.
But... don't forget.
Xiao Lin is the heir to the Dragon King Palace!!
The Dragon King Palace is not something the Gu Family can afford to provoke!
Therefore, instead of being immediately wanted and labeled as a demonic martial artist, Xiao Lin was not wanted. On the contrary, the influence of this incident seems to be gradually diminishing.
After all, Wang Yulan's mother is just an ordinary person.
Gu Yan listened to Bai Jun's words and curled his lips: "Someone is afraid of the Old Dragon King, huh."
The Old Dragon King is not just one person, but many.
It is rumored that every generation of the Dragon King Palace's leader, the Dragon King, is actually still alive!!! And all of them are hidden in the world!!!
Whenever a new Dragon King is chosen, all the Old Dragon Kings will generously share their knowledge.
So, it's not that they don't want to, it's that they really dare not!!
The power of the Dragon King Palace is too vast!
Bai Jun, after hearing this, awkwardly pushed his glasses, the reflection revealing his helpless and unwilling eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly and sighed: "Yes... it's so ridiculous... we are the Martial Arts Department..."
Bai Jun shook his head and stopped talking about this matter, instead turning to Gu Yan: "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you."
"I always thought you were a playboy, but I didn't expect that you not only know about the Dragon King."
"But also..."
His tone became serious: "You've reached the pre-celestial realm..."
Gu Yan nodded without denial: "What delusion made you think that the young master of the Gu Family would be a useless young master?"
Bai Jun adjusted his glasses and smiled without speaking.
However, at least he now understood one thing: this reputation might, no, must be Gu Yan's disguise.
The purpose of which he did not know, but Bai Jun suddenly felt that Gu Yan was a very deep and terrifying person.
He had deceived so many people.
However, he now had some expectations for Chen Yingyin, since she was recommended by Gu Yan.
He assumed she must have something that would surprise him.
Gu Yan checked the time and decided it was time to move to the next location. Besides,
Buying something doesn't require so much hesitation.
If you like it, buy it. If you're hesitant, buy them all!
This is! The creed of the young master of the Gu Family!
So he stood up and walked towards the clothing store, not forgetting his little wife at home.
Gu Yan also planned to pick out a few outfits for her.
"I'm going in to buy a few clothes, we'll talk later~"
Gu Yan waved his hand, leaving Bai Jun with a back view.
The latter pushed his glasses and glanced in a certain direction.
Strange... why is there a Black Tortoise Qi aura in this commercial street?
Could it be that someone from the Black Tortoise Gate is also here?
Bai Jun thought about it, and when he saw Old Gao with a calm smile on the other side, he shook his head and laughed.
The real masters didn't react at all, so why was he so nervous?
Now it's a vacation, so he should just relax.
Gu Yan... you are indeed very interesting.
........
.......
Inside the Night Organization's tea restaurant.
The middle-aged shop manager in a butler's uniform looked quite despondent. Alas, he also wanted to see his master...
But to prevent any accidents, he still had to guard the shop door!
He sighed and continued to watch the store.
Five kilometers underground.
Leng Qingqiu had already gotten a general understanding of the situation.
She pondered for a while.
Originally, there were five forces that had besieged her Leng Family in Jianghai City.
They were the Dragon King Palace, Death God, King of Hell Palace, Peach Blossom Society, and Black Tortoise Gate.
But now... according to Shangguan Miaoyin's intelligence, the ancient martial arts world has begun to move following the death of the King of Hell Palace's leader.
Various forces have infiltrated around the world.
Among them, the most forces have infiltrated Jianghai City, as the leader of the King of Hell Palace was brutally killed in this city.
Heh, but this was also something Leng Qingqiu had already anticipated, and it was part of her plan.
Instead of looking for enemies one by one, it was better to let the enemies come to her.
She was in the dark, and the enemies were in the light.
As long as she killed the weaker sects to improve her own strength, she would become stronger and then deal with even stronger enemies, repeating this process.
Leng Qingqiu did not believe she could not avenge her family!!
However, before mentioning the newly infiltrated forces.
Let's talk about the five old forces previously stationed in Jianghai.
The leader of the King of Hell Palace had already been killed by her, and it could be said that it was leaderless. The King of Hell Palace, led by Long Zaitian, was in her eyes just a group of rabble.
The only member of Death God had also been killed by Mei Xue long ago, and his head had even been refined into true energy.
The Black Tortoise Gate was in ruins, and now they had found a successor named Deng Feng.
The young master of the Dragon King Palace was always in the open, named Xiao Lin, and he had even met Gu Yan before, fortunately without any danger.
However, her previous idea was very simple: test Xiao Lin's strength, and if it was easy to kill, just do it.
But... after Mei Xue's report, this Xiao Lin... was very strong, and there were also the Old Dragon Kings behind him.
Killing Xiao Lin was simple, but the difficulty lay in the people behind him, as her own strength was too weak.
In the past, she could just hide with Ling'er and develop in secret, but now.......... there was also Gu Yan.
He had been involved with Xiao Lin, and if she killed Xiao Lin now, it would implicate the retired Old Dragon Kings.
Once the Old Dragon Kings were involved, many martial arts forces that followed them would also be entangled.
She and Ling'er could run away, and she could even take Gu Yan with her, but what about the large Gu Family?
Would the wrath of the Old Dragon Kings involve Gu Yan's family?
Leng Qingqiu... she did not want Gu Yan to also bear the pain of her clan's destruction.
So the only targets she could currently deal with were the Peach Blossom Society and the Black Tortoise Gate.
The Black Tortoise Gate and the Peach Blossom Society were desperately looking for successors, which already indicated that their strength was not what it used to be.
Now... destroy their sects!!
At this thought.
Leng Qingqiu opened her eyes, a chill emanating from her gaze, and she issued the latest orders.
"Murong Ci and Bai Lian form a team, destroy the Black Tortoise Gate."
"Jian Xing and Han Feng form a team, destroy the Peach Blossom Society."
"The rest of you keep an eye on all the ancient martial arts sects infiltrating Jianghai, and once you gather any intelligence, report it to me immediately."
Everyone present responded with respectful and fervent looks: "Yes, master!"
Leng Qingqiu, about to leave, suddenly thought of the Night Organization's public appearance.
So she stopped and slowly said: "Also... if my husband in the secular world, Gu Yan, happens to come to the Night Organization's tea restaurant for a meal."
"Remember not to show any abnormalities, because this is also part of the plan."
"Got it?"
The organization members did not hesitate at all, responding in unison: "Got it, master!"
Bai Lian felt a bit awkward in her heart, as she had previously wanted to tempt that man.
Murong Ci remained silent: "Gu Yan..."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
