Chapter 288: That Yu Yinzi, she's really playing tricks!
Without further ado, Gu Heng didn't call Qin Yiyao. Anyway, the little girl might not be interested in hearing such gossip. He simply followed Bai Feier and set off.
The Bai residence is located by the river, while the Liu residence is on the other side of the capital city of Riyan.
Along the way, Gu Heng could hear the idle people in the city discussing the arrival of Yu Yinzi, each with their own opinion.
"Hey, that Yu Yinzi is pretty, but she seems like a complete lecherous playboy!"
"Shh—Are you out of your mind! If he hears this, you'll be dead!"
"What are you afraid of? We haven't broken any taboos, we're just chatting..."
"What do you know! I heard someone outside say that this isn't the first time Yu Yinzi has sought a Daoist partner. He's had many women before, and they're said to be kept in some kind of boudoir by him as his personal possessions, not allowed to be seen by anyone else."
"Really? Is he really going to go this far?"
"That's what they say. Hey, we nobody's qualified to find out the truth. But with his status and position, he can play around with whoever he wants, right?"
"That's right. After all, the Valley Master of Thousand Sound Valley is his father, and he himself is talented. What can't he do?"
"As for the Liu family, hehe, they'll probably have to climb up the social ladder by clinging to Yu Yinzi's big tree next."
"Yes, look at His Majesty's face, it's as black as charcoal."
The crowd sighed, envied, and admired Yu Yinzi, praising his strength, talent, background, and powerful backer.
There was also a hint of envy towards the Liu family.
Gu Heng listened, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement. Good heavens.
It turns out that Yu Yinzi is quite the player.
However, in this world where martial arts reign supreme, it's normal to play fancy games... Before leaving Qingmu City, he sold the old clinic to Brother Wu, a well-known local tycoon.
Although Brother Wu was just an ordinary person, he was a merchant and had money, even spirit stones. He could afford to hire cultivators. At home, he could easily have enough wives and concubines to play mahjong and take turns with them.
If mortals are like this, then powerful cultivators would probably do whatever is most flashy.
of course.
The reason why Brother Wu's backyard was peaceful was not only because his women didn't fight over him, but also mainly because he was "fair".
He would never neglect any of them, and every month he would send gifts to those beautiful women as a matter of course, not to mention the "public grain" (a euphemism for sexual favors), his main goal being to squeeze them dry. Furthermore, Brother Wu wanted to satisfy them.
I actually went to him specifically to ask him to help me get some "anti-collapse medicine" at a high price, otherwise, at my age, my body won't be able to handle it.
So Gu Heng actually created the "immortal medicine," and later improved it, turning it into a brown medicinal paste with a very unappealing appearance, which could strengthen the body and had immediate effects...
These are the ones we're using now for Qin Yiyao's bath.
So, no matter how restless and dissolute Brother Wu was, he never mistreated his women. Those young ladies were devoted to him, and their affections grew stronger day by day.
but.
Where is Yuyinzi?
Regardless of whether these idle people are gossiping about other people's private affairs, Gu Heng will not easily believe them.
But in his own opinion, Yu Yinzi was not as "fair and just" as Brother Wu, and her personality was even worse.
These are all his guesses.
We still need to figure out what the person involved is thinking.
At this moment, Gu Heng suddenly noticed that Bai Feier's expression was strange.
"what happened?"
Bai Feier bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiaoyu has never mentioned to me that she has any engagement with Yuyinzi."
"so?"
"She never hides anything from me, especially things like this. Besides, didn't you find Elder Xiao's attitude strange when we were at Yanjiang Pavilion just now?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng seriously recalled the banquet he had at Yanjiang Pavilion at noon.
right.
It's really strange.
Elder Xiao Tang seemed to have returned to the Sunflame Dynasty from Thousand Sound Valley with Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's purpose in returning was simply to visit relatives and reunite with her best friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time, so...
What is Xiao Tang here for?
Gu Heng made a quick comparison. Yu Yinzi had a formidable figure by her side, so Xiao Tang should be considered a "formidable figure" by Liu Yu's side, right?
Those are guards.
It's reasonable for a young genius from a prestigious sect to be accompanied by an elder as a bodyguard when traveling.
The point is.
Liu Yu's attitude towards Xiao Tang!
She didn't trust the elder who came to protect her; instead, she was wary and cautious!
Or rather, fear!
Gu Heng didn't know the source of her fear, but it was clear that Elder Xiao's purpose was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After all, he could protect Liu Yu, which could be considered as closely monitoring her.
It can even ensure that Liu Yu can't go anywhere.
Gu Heng's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "What you said does make some sense. Elder Xiao Tang's attitude towards Miss Liu Yu is indeed a bit strange."
"However, do not make hasty judgments."
"Let's go check out the Liu residence first."
Since Bai Feier has doubts, and the answer is now in the Liu residence, with both the man and woman present, why worry about not understanding?
"Young Master Gu is right."
Bai Feier took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of the Liu residence. However, just as Bai Feier and Gu Heng were about to step inside, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
"I'm sorry, but the head of the family has ordered that the Liu residence will not receive any guests today!"
Bai Feier frowned and said, "I am Bai Feier from the Bai family, and I am a close friend of Miss Liu Yu..."
"I said, no guests please! The head of the family means anyone!"
The guard seemed to have received a death order; his tone was quite forceful and brooked no refusal!
Bai Feier's face darkened.
It seems the Liu family has some plans. Right now, there's a distinguished guest like Yu Yinzi in the Liu residence, along with the Grand Elder of Qianyin Valley, who is at the tenth level of the Mahayana realm. These two are currently on Liu family territory, and whatever they're talking about, the Liu family certainly doesn't want others to know.
Even if it were spread through the Liu family, it would still have to go through them. Gu Heng was currently figuring out how to bypass those two people and just climb over the wall or something...
Then Bai Feier gripped the sword hilt, and a short, sharp vibration occurred!
They knocked the two guards at the gate to the ground!
Bai Feier then turned her head, smiled at Gu Heng, and stepped into the room first.
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment.
Wow, that's pretty direct.
Just as he was about to go in, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Mr. Gu."
Gu Heng turned his head and saw Jiang Lingyun walking out of the alley next to him, with an indifferent expression on her face, looking rather serene.
"Sect Leader Jiang?" Gu Heng was slightly surprised.
"I just happened to be passing by and didn't expect to see Young Master Gu." Jiang Lingyun smiled and gestured.
Gu Heng paused, smiled mysteriously, and shook hands with her.
Just happened to be passing by?
He no longer believes in coincidences.
