Chapter I

The person in the mirror looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face had not completely faded from the immaturity and softness of a child, but there was also a faint sense of youthfulness belonging to a teenager. Gu Xiangcheng, who was a teenager, looked left and right at the people in the mirror, and then smiled with satisfaction.

He took out a jade slip from his arms, and with a light touch of his finger on it, countless orthography immediately appeared in mid-airβ€”and the last one had just been added with a new stroke, and it was only the last stroke to be written.

Gu Xiangcheng rubbed the jade slip, and his face sank slightly. I'm afraid that no one understands the meaning of these "positive" words better than him, and the last stroke that was not completed was the last chance left for him.

Gu Xiangcheng closed his eyes and put away the jade slip unwillingly. He has been reborn countless times, from just wanting to live a good life with Shen Yan at the beginning, to desperately snatching the vitality of the two of them later, no matter what happens, he has to go against the way of heaven. And the fate of going against the way of heaven is naturally self-evident.

From the heartache at the beginning, to now, Gu Xiangcheng is about to get used to the ending of Shen Yan's death.

Suddenly, a bit of green jumped out of his sleeve and gradually took shape before his eyes. It was a jade pipe, which was originally Shen Yan's natal magic weapon, but for some reason, he had been by his side since the second life.

Gu Xiangcheng gently held the pipe with a gloomy expression. His wish has always been very simple, but unfortunately God does not allow it. This time, though, everything will be different.

As for those who bullied, insulted, and even tortured Shen Yan, he would not let any of them go......

Just thinking about how to take revenge, the door panel was suddenly knocked three times, and after a while, a deep voice came in from outside the door: "The landlord summons." ”

"Got it." The young man replied casually, put the jade pipe on the cabinet in his arms and hid it, and when he opened his eyes again, all the previous inevitables were gone, except for the look of youth and frivolity.

He opened the door, caught a glimpse of the man standing beside him with his head bowed and his hands tied, something flashed in his eyes, he paused, gestured to the man, and turned to walk towards the main building.

If he remembered correctly, today was the first day he saw Shen Yan.

Shen Yan is a legendary figure in the world. His parents died when he was a child, and at the age of fourteen he was picked up by Mrs. Silk, who lived in seclusion in the Qingming Mountain, and left the mountain at the age of seventeen, and established his own power half a year later.

Maybe it was because he suffered a lot when he was a child, Shen Yan's temperament was inevitably withdrawn and eccentric, and he was still drinking and bickering with people with a smile on his face in the last second, and the next second he might suddenly burst out with a gloomy face and crush the other party's braincase! After a long time, Shen Yan has gained the title of "killer".

However, Shen Yan didn't care, he still drank his wine and fought his mouth to kill his people, and the evaluation of the outside world was not as important to him as a good pear blossom white.

Gu Xiangcheng remembered his reaction when he first saw Shen Yan. At that time, he had lived in the building for two or three years, and was in a period of confusion, not knowing what he should do and what he wanted to do. He also heard a lot of rumors about Shen Yan, and he envied him for doing what he wanted, but also disdained his murderous behavior. Therefore, at first meeting, he didn't give each other a good look.

It's true that Shen Yan has a bad temper, but it's not as moody as the outside world rumores. Anyone who has dealt with him knows that Shen Yan just disdains to talk to people, and thinks that he is the only one in the sky and the earth, and the others are just ants, and he doesn't have so much leisure and elegance to get along with a group of ants, unless they are looking for death by themselves and committing it to him.

But Gu Xiangcheng didn't know at that time, not only did he not give people a good face, but he also sneered openly and secretly. Shen Yan's reaction was just a smile, he didn't see that he was angry, but he didn't see his kindness either. The landlord fined him thirty lashes that night, and he couldn't get out of bed for half a month, and the account was credited to Shen Yan's head again.

For many years after that, whenever he met, he would say a few words to Shen Yanguan, even if he took over the affairs of the building. At that time, Gu Xiangcheng didn't think about it, but after thinking about it, it was a little strange - he didn't know how much face Shen Yan had lost, according to the other party's temper, he had a hundred lives that were not enough to die!

But instead of killing him, Shen Yan scolded him childishly like a child, as if he forgot that his ability was hundreds of times that of Gu Xiangcheng, as long as he waved his sleeves slightly, Gu Xiangcheng could be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiangcheng couldn't help but sigh, quickened his pace, and arrived at the courtyard where the main building was located in a short time.

"Landlord." He bowed, swept over the guest without a trace out of the corner of his eye, took it back before the other party noticed, and landed on the bluestone floor at his feet, looking honest and respectful.

The landlord is a woman who looks to be over the age of standing, and a huge golden step is obliquely inserted on the cloud temples that are raised high. She seemed to be talking to the guests, and when she saw Gu Xiangcheng coming, she took the topic away, and said with a smile: "This is the most talented one in my building, I wonder if the Lord of the Shen Pavilion is still satisfied with it?" ”

Gu Jiaocheng was stunned at first, and then remembered why he was called to the main building - the landlord wanted to exchange him for Shen Yan's "vitality"!

However, that time, because of Gu Xiangcheng's vow to fight to the death, the landlord not only succeeded in trading with Shen Yan, but instead made a bad deal with him, and that glimmer of "vitality" naturally couldn't be obtained, and it didn't take long for the person to die.

After the death of the landlord, the building was in turmoil, and he was also fighting in this turmoil for more than ten years before he was able to successfully seize the position of the landlord.

Just thinking about it, his chin suddenly touched the handle of a green bamboo fan, and he lifted it slightly, Gu Xiangcheng raised his eyes and met Shen Yan's indifferent eyes. Even if he has seen it many times, Gu Xiangcheng still can't help but praise in his heart, his cigarettes are so beautiful, they look good everywhere!

Seemingly dissatisfied with his straight eyes, Shen Yan snorted lightly, let go of his chin, and leaned back lazily again, as if he had no bones. He said casually: "Miaozi is a good Miaozi...... A trace of surprise involuntarily appeared on the landlord's face, "It's a pity that the rules are not learned well, and no matter how high the talent is, it is not of much use." ”

That's rejection! The landlord's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he suddenly glared at Gu Xiangcheng with hatred, and he couldn't wait to peel him off and cramp now, so as to save him from embarrassing himself here!

However, at this moment, Gu Jiaocheng's whole mind was on Shen Yan, and he didn't notice the fierce gaze of the landlord at all.

"Shen Pavilion Lord...... "It is a matter of his own life, the landlord endured this breath, and said in a low voice, "Shen Pavilion Lord, if you are not satisfied with him, there are several other ...... concubines here."

"No need." Shen Yan seemed a little tired, rubbed his eyebrows and interrupted the landlord's words, "You can't even look down on this seat with the best talent in your building, and other crooked melons and cracked dates also want to stuff this seat here?" With the consent of this seat? ”

Gu Xiangcheng almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it. The landlord's face was not good-looking, Shen Yan was so face-saving to her, I was afraid that she would be so angry that she couldn't eat.

However, thinking about the consequences of the breakdown of this negotiation...... Gu Jiaocheng's teeth ached for a while, and just as Shen Yan was about to get up and leave, he suddenly spoke: "Shen Pavilion Master, slow down!" ”

Shen Yan paused, and looked over a little impatiently: "This little brother, is there something?" His face was polite, but there were six big words written in his eyes: "If you have something to say, it's okay to get out"!

Gu Xiangcheng resisted the urge to reach out and touch his head, and bowed down and said, "I want to make a deal with the Shen Pavilion Master, so I spoke out to stop it, and I ask the Shen Pavilion Lord to forgive me." ”

"Oh?" When Shen Yan heard this, he tilted his head with interest, "This is strange, even your landlord can't impress this seat, what good things can you have that dare to trade with this seat?" ”

"I'm afraid that Lord Shen has forgotten what kind of place this is." Gu Xiangcheng smiled slightly, "What I do in my building is the business of 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people', and what is solved is something that others can't do." I believe that Lord Shen Ge also has something that can't be solved, or...... People who can't solve it, right? ”

Shen Yan was speechless for a while. The meager smile on his face had completely disappeared, and he looked at Gu Xiangcheng expressionlessly. After a while, the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he didn't know whether to praise or mock: "Little brother is really ...... The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves......"

The landlord's face was extremely ugly when he heard Gu Xiangcheng say that he wanted to make a deal with Shen Yan, and he glared at his face viciously, not noticing Shen Yan's expression at all. Hearing Shen Yan's half-praise and half-mocking words, she was even more dissatisfied - how could she be stepped on on the head by the juniors in the building, as a dignified landlord? !

She immediately got up and reprimanded: "Gu makeup! In front of the Shen Pavilion Lord, it's not your turn to make a big statement! Don't want to retreat quickly? As she spoke, she glanced to the left and right, motioning for them to take the people away.

"Slow." Shen Yan stopped her. He got up and walked to Gu Chengcheng's side, stretched out a hand, grabbed one of his arms, pulled him up, and asked, "Where do you live?" Let's find a convenient place to talk. ”

The landlord's face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. She knew that she had no chance to get Shen Yan's "life" at all.

But she didn't understand, this Gu Yancheng was just a little disciple in the building, what was so special about it, just one side, that made Shen Yan so interested in him?

She watched Gu Jiaocheng lead Shen Yan away, slumped in her chair tiredly, and her eyes were vainly cast. Until someone came in and dragged back her scattered thoughts: "Landlord, it has been prepared according to your instructions." ”

When the landlord heard this, he was a little more energetic. At this time, she can't give up yet. Even without Shen Yan's "vitality", she may not necessarily die. As long as she is fully prepared, it is not impossible to survive! Although this method is not very good on the table, in order to survive, she has no choice but to make this decision.

Thinking like this, a little smile appeared on her face, she stood up leisurely, and said softly: "Since you are ready...... Can you take me over there? ”

"Yes, the landlord is here."

"You live in such a place?" Shen Yan pursed his lips in disgust, looking like he was leaving at any time.

Gu Xiangcheng smiled and said comfortingly: "There is no one in the world, and the residence is naturally not in the eyes of the Shen Pavilion Master, and the Shen Pavilion Master has been wronged." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, if there's something to say, hurry up. I don't have time to play with you here. Shen Yan is not as quiet and unpredictable as he is in front of people in private, but he is willful and reckless like a child who has not grown up, and with that beautiful and immature face, people feel very cute.

But when he thought of the reason why he became like this, Gu Xiangcheng felt a pain in his heart, and the originally prepared greetings were immediately omitted, and he said straight to the point: "I want to take Mrs. Silk's head in exchange for a favor from the Lord of Shen Pavilion." ”

Shen Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, and the hand holding the fan was full of green tendons. After a long time, he barely calmed down his tyrannical mood, stared at the young man in front of him with a blank expression, and said in a low voice: "Gu Jiaocheng, do you know what you were talking about just now?" ”

"Of course I know." Gu Jiaocheng was not afraid at all in the face of his yin owl eyes, straightened his back, and looked back at his eyes, "The posture of the Lord of the Shen Pavilion is a celestial man, and he can't afford to dirty his own path of cultivating immortals for such a small role. If the Shen Pavilion Master responds, he is willing to solve this trivial matter for the Shen Pavilion Master. ”
