Chapter 589: Hiring someone to protect the little girl
Meanwhile, there is an inn.
Jin Qian specially prepared a table of delicious dishes for Qin Yiyao and Gu Heng to celebrate their "special day".
Although to Jin Qian...
The so-called "one-year anniversary of meeting" sounds a bit too... meaningless?
He has lived through countless "years" in his life and has long since become numb to it.
But Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao clearly felt that this day should last for several years, and the two of them ate with great relish, which made Jin Qian feel quite strange.
It's not that it's bad. It's just that the atmosphere between the two of them doesn't seem like that of a master and disciple. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such budding feelings between a master and disciple.
or.
Maybe I'm just out of touch. Perhaps the current master-disciple relationship is all about this kind of thing?
Anyway, Jin Qian finished serving the dishes and didn't stay there. The atmosphere was clearly not one to be disturbed by others, so he simply went back to the kitchen, made himself some snacks to go with his drinks, and enjoyed the top-quality immortal wine that Gu Heng had given him.
then.
Yuan Chou, looking disheveled, rushed in through the back door.
"Old Qian... something's not right."
As soon as he sat down, Yuan Chou said to Jin Qian with a solemn expression.
Jin Qian frowned, took a sip of wine, and asked him, "What's wrong? Explain it clearly." Yuan Chou said in a deep voice, "Immortal Venerable Yunshang has arrived."
"……What?"
Jin Qian almost dropped the fine wine in his hand.
Yuan Chou recounted what he had just seen and encountered. After he finished speaking, Jin Qian remained silent for a while before shaking his head: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Then he took a small sip and smacked his lips.
Yuan Chou's face twitched at the sight.
"Hey, don't look so sad, come have a drink."
Jin Qian poured him a glass and invited him to drink.
Yuan Chou remained unmoved.
That silent expression seemed to be questioning, "How can you drink alcohol?"
"Don't worry, if she wanted to cause trouble, she would have killed us all long ago. We're all still alive and well, aren't we?"
Jin Qian chuckled, "Besides, even if she wanted to cause trouble, I'm not afraid."
"Young Master Gu certainly won't let her run wild."
Yuan Chou thought for a moment.
That's how I feel.
I was indeed overly worried at first. After all, I hadn't expected Yunshang, a celestial being, to personally appear here.
But if she flattened the city without even coming up, doesn't that say a lot?
"In that case, let's have a drink first."
Yuan Chou calmed himself down, raised his wine glass, took a sip, and then let out a long sigh.
In fact, Yuan Chou didn't have much contact with Gu Heng. At most, Gu Heng would greet him every time he left the city, and that was all. But the many good things about Gu Heng that Yuan Chou heard from Yin Rufeng and Jin Qian made him feel unreal.
Whether it's real or not, Jin Qian's cultivation has undeniably become stronger!
Therefore, he couldn't help but believe that Gu Heng was truly formidable, and in a way that was unfathomable and not easily revealed!
In that case, he should save himself some trouble and worry less about these things.
……
In the front hall, Gu Heng once again slapped away the little maid's hand that was reaching for the wine pot.
"Master..."
Qin Yiyao stomped her foot playfully, "You won't let me drink again this time, how can you do this!"
"No, wait until you're older."
Gu Heng, with his "iron-fisted impartiality," refused the little girl's request to drink a couple of sips of "fine wine."
Seeing Qin Yiyao quietly furrow her brows and mutter a few words about being an "old fogey," he smiled and listened to the thunder outside the window, looking around. "Heh, the heavens have been quite restless lately, all bark and no bite."
He shook his head.
I was just having a nice meal when suddenly a lot of dark clouds gathered outside.
Gu Heng didn't bring an umbrella and didn't want to get soaked. He had planned to borrow one from the shopkeeper after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
But just like last time.
There was a clap of thunder in the sky, and then nothing more.
It was as if God was just throwing a tantrum and making a fuss, but the rain didn't fall.
"……Ah."
Qin Yiyao looked outside.
She knew who had made that commotion.
Isn't that the "Immortal Venerable Yunshang"?
The two met unexpectedly in the new capital of Yanluo Kingdom. At that time, Qin Yiyao knew that Yunshang would not leave just like that.
She doesn't seem like the type of person who would think something is impossible just because someone has verbally refused her a few times.
Therefore, in order to find out who the "backer" behind him is.
That woman will definitely follow her.
Qin Yiyao figured this out, so returning to the desolate city now would be a good opportunity to lure Yunshang over.
As for Yunshang, Qin Yiyao naturally wanted her to be her protector. Her master was living such a comfortable life, so as his disciple, she naturally couldn't ruin his good fortune.
Bringing a celestial being to one's side would naturally be more beneficial than harmful.
That commotion.
It seems that Yunshang... has broken through?
Now she should be a Celestial Venerable, and there's no need to add "half a step" before her.
fair enough.
At least the master doesn't need to personally make Yunshang suffer a bit before she understands that Qin Yiyao's master is incredibly powerful!
"Girl, you're back again. Tell your master how you've been doing out there?"
Gu Heng put down his wine glass and reached out to pinch her rosy cheeks.
If there's anything he's not satisfied with about Qin Yiyao going out to broaden her horizons on her own...
That is, she basically never mentions how she is doing.
Food, clothing, and daily necessities are generally not a concern, but as a cultivator, Gu Heng naturally worries about whether Qin Yiyao will be able to protect herself when she goes out, and what will happen if she encounters trouble and he is unable to help her in time...
Gu Heng must have read too many novels in his past life, where the protagonist always had connections and a master would step in to protect him during crucial moments. He didn't have that kind of treatment, and the little girl probably didn't either.
There are so many things to consider.
Qin Yiyao gave a vague reply, sipping her freshly squeezed orange juice, "Master, there's something I need your opinion on."
"what's up?"
"Here's the thing, a woman named Yunshang recently came to me. After talking with her, I think that although she is not as good as my master, it should be feasible to ask her to protect me."
Qin Yiyao blinked: "How is it?"
Do you need someone to protect you?
Gu Heng stroked his chin and nodded.
As long as you hire the right person, someone who at least has a sense of contractual obligation, finding a capable helper for Qin Yiyao shouldn't be a problem at all!
But the question is, can Qin Yiyao trust this Yunshang she mentioned?
And they even came to our door on their own initiative.
This……
If someone is skilled, they shouldn't be unemployed, right?
Do I have to find an employer myself?
