Chapter 5: The Old Fortune Teller
Gu Ze walked slowly down the lively street, and he was pulled back from his contemplation by the noisy scene. When he came back to his senses, he knew that the man he was looking for was very important. At least, his father had said that it was very important to find this man.
It's even so important to decide the fate of Gu Ze's life!
"Ji Luoguang, you have to inquire where this person is first, otherwise it is not a way to find it so cluelessly. Gu Ze walked down the street unhurriedly, Gu Mu didn't tell him any information about Ji Luoguang except that he was coming to Iku City. Therefore, he can only rely on himself to find the person his father said.
"Goo......" Gu Ze continued to walk, but suddenly there was a grunt sound in his ears, he looked at his stomach helplessly, and said with a smile: "You guy is really uneasy, let's feed you first, and by the way, you can also inquire about this Ji Luoguang." β
He saw a restaurant not far in front of him, and there was an endless stream of people entering, and the business seemed to be very prosperous and hot.
"There are so many people in this shop, and the food in it should be delicious, so let's eat it here. 'Xianxianglou' is a good name. Gu Ze looked at the booming business of the restaurant, and after a little groaning, he slowly walked in.
Gu Ze walked around the restaurant for a long time, and he didn't see any empty seats to sit in, and the business here was really good, and he gritted his teeth. He was really helpless, and after a moment of silence, he went up to the second floor.
"The business of this 'Xianxianglou' is also too good, and there is not a single vacant seat on the entire first floor. β
Of course, the second floor is all private rooms, and if it weren't for the people downstairs who were full and couldn't find a seat, he wouldn't have come up to eat alone. It's a waste of money, and I didn't have too much on my body, so I spent a little less, and there are still three years, so don't spend it so quickly.
Among these private rooms, he searched for a long time before finding an empty private room. He glanced at the wooden sign hanging in front of the door, on which were written three antique little characters of 'Luo Fan Chen', and then murmured: "'Luo Fan Chen', a good name." β
Along the way, he found that all the private rooms in this 'Xianxiang Building' are quite unique and interesting, and they look very atmospheric, which is also a good way to attract customers.
Gu Ze slowly walked into this private room, his eyes looked around this private room, and he was suddenly shocked. The dΓ©cor in this private room is so beautiful! The interior of this private room is all decorated with white silk, and the decorations are set off by snow-white silk like a fairyland. In addition, the private room is filled with a light fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed.
It was the first time he had seen a restaurant decorate a private room so beautifully.
His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and slowly sat down on the chair next to the large wooden round table in the private room. He watched it for a long time before he came back to his senses, and muttered in a relaxed voice: "No wonder the business of this restaurant is so hot, and even the decoration is so ingenious!"
After Gu Ze sat for a while, a junior from the shop hurriedly ran in, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, this son, you can't eat in this 'falling mortal', you better change the room." β
"Why?" Gu Zedu had already sat down, and at this moment he was a little relaxed, and asked with a curious smile.
"Don't you know? The people of the Liu family often eat in this 'falling mortal dust', and anyone who comes to eat in my Xianxianglou will not come to eat in this private room. The people of the Liu family are coming in a while, and it will be troublesome if you don't leave. Xiao Er's expression became even more flustered.
"The Liu family?" Gu Ze muttered. He had been staying in Vasa City all the time, how could he have heard of the Liu family.
"Shopkeeper Lian, today is my birthday, and I like to eat your Xianxianglou's food. I'll bring all your delicious dishes to my table in a moment. β
"Yes, yes, Miss Liu. It's such an honor to have dinner with me on your birthday. As soon as Gu Ze was about to get up, he heard a voice from the door, and then a group of people walked in.
This group of people are all richly dressed, and from the temperament, they are not ordinary rich people. Gu Ze thought that this should be the Liu family that Xiao Er said.
They all looked slightly stunned after seeing Gu Ze, who is this person?
"Who are you? Get out of here!" A young girl at the front of the group glared at Gu Ze and said sharply.
The woman looked very young, seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in a white gown, her long pale brown hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her fair skin looked like snow, no matter how she looked at it, she was also a rare beauty.
Gu Ze was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect this good-looking woman to be so rude, he was quite disgusted by this kind of rude girl.
"Qingying, don't be rude. A middle-aged man standing behind the woman shouted lightly to the woman.
"Father, this guy came here to eat, how can I not be angry. The woman pouted and said coquettishly to the middle-aged man beside her.
"Xiao Su, what's going on?" The shopkeeper on the side frowned and asked Xiao Er.
"Shopkeeper, I just asked this son to leave, but he won't leave!" Xiao Er hurriedly explained in a panic.
Gu Ze was secretly speechless, what is it that I am not leaving, obviously I was just about to leave, and this Liu family came.
"This son, please leave. The shopkeeper's tone was a little tough. It felt like an eviction order, and the attitude was very bad.
Gu Ze is a little dissatisfied with the attitude of this shopkeeper, since you are still so tough to ask customers to leave when you open a store to do business, your attitude towards customers is really good!
"Is this your hospitality?" The corners of Gu Ze's mouth rose slightly, picked up the teapot and teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it plainly.
"Do you want to die?" Liu Qingying's willow eyebrows were upside down, and the anger in her eyes was soaring. Several members of the Liu family beside the woman also frowned, and the shopkeeper was also angry with Gu Ze, but he didn't expect that this young man would dare to offend the people of the Liu family in this Iku City, isn't this asking for hardship or what?
"Little brother, you have to know who you have offended. The shopkeeper shouted.
"I don't know. Gu Ze's expression was extremely flat.
"Father, I met such a disappointing guy for my birthday today, I must break this guy's leg today, it's really annoying. Liu Qingying pressed her silver teeth tightly, and stared at Gu Ze with bulging eyes.
"This little brother, today is the birthday of the little girl, I hope you can go to eat somewhere else in my Liu Fengqi's face. After glaring at Liu Qingying flatly, the middle-aged man immediately smiled kindly at Gu Ze.
Gu Ze's slightly frowning brows also stretched, "Since you said so, uncle, then I'll leave." Hearing this, Gu Ze smiled at the man and got up to leave.
"Uncle, you are not qualified to call me father like that. When Gu Ze was about to walk to the door, Liu Qingying said loudly.
Not qualified? Gu Ze smiled inwardly, as the young master of the Gu family, he can basically walk sideways in this Dika Empire, is he not qualified to call others an uncle. You must know that the Liu family and the Gu family in Iku City are incomparable! Gu Mu often told Gu Ze: Don't make trouble, don't be afraid of things, the Gu family will always be a solid backing behind him.
"Do you know this thing?" Gu Ze smiled faintly and slowly took out a small jade plaque from his body, which was engraved with an ancient character.
"This is the Gu family's clan jade! Are you?" Liu Fengqi recognized this thing at a glance, he knew that this was something that was unique only to the Gu family. He looked at the black short-bladed birthmark in front of Gu Ze's eyebrows, and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.
"Then you know Gu Mu, right?" Gu Ze glanced up at the shopkeeper and said slowly.
"Gu Mu of the Gu family, this naturally knows that the top three of the top ten powerhouses in the empire, I believe that as long as the people of the empire know. A young man next to him took over.
"Why are you mentioning him, what are you, such a strong man is simply insulting to him when he comes out of your mouth. Liu Qingying scolded mercilessly.
"Oh?...... He was my father. Gu Ze just smiled slightly and walked to the door, turned around, and left the 'mortal dust' after speaking.
Gu Ze's words made everyone in the 'Falling Dust' stunned, and Liu Qingying was stunned, and muttered: "He...... Father: He's Guze?"
"Gumu, is that his father?" The shopkeeper stood stunned, he felt that everything was so ridiculous. He rarely took the initiative to drive people out, but he didn't expect to offend the eldest young master of the Gu family, the four major families of the empire, this time. He clearly knew that if Gu Ze told Gu Mu these words, with Gu Mu's ability, he could pinch him to death with one finger.
"It is rumored that there is a blade-shaped birthmark in front of Gu Ze's eyebrows, and I think it is indeed true...... Qingying, I think Gu Ze is quite kind, if he is very grudgeful, then you will help our Liu family cause a big trouble. Liu Fengqi squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the place where Gu Ze had left, and said slowly.
"Father, how do I know him...... He's going to be Guze. Liu Qingying's eyes were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes flickered, as if she was about to cry. She knew very well that Gumu was powerful, and this was a powerful existence that even her father had to look up to.
"Remember, in the future, you will be as rude and willful as you are today, and you will provoke right and wrong, if you get into any big trouble in the future, no one will be able to save you, I hope this is the last time you will be willful again. Liu Fengqi said lightly.
"Well, I promise I'll never be rude and willful again. Liu Qingying was crying, and a crystal teardrop slowly slipped down her face at this moment, obviously she was scared to cry.
She didn't dare to think about the consequences of offending the Gu family, it must be very serious, at least it might be difficult for their Liu family to get mixed up in this Dika Empire.
"Why did this Gu Ze come to Iku City?" Liu Fengqi said with some doubts, he also knew Gu Ze's situation, according to common sense, Gu Ze should have been staying in Vasa City, but why did he appear in Iku City now?
Could it be something?
......
"You really need a strong background when you go out......" Gu Ze walked on the bustling street, and after what happened just now, he realized that it was really important to have a strong background.
There is a strong background, which is enough to shock many people, at least for Gu Ze's feelings, it is still very comfortable.
Gu Ze left Xianxiang Building, he shook his head slightly, coming to this restaurant not only did not solve the problem of eating, but also made him unhappy. As the saying goes: this person is iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and you still have to eat this meal. He didn't want to eat anything, it was important to find Ji Luoguang, so he casually found a noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles and continued to look for Ji Luoguang.
Iku City is very big, and he doesn't know where Ji Luoguang is when he walks so aimlessly, he thinks that he should find someone who is more well-informed to ask, otherwise he just looks like this and doesn't know what year and month he will find.
What is the difference between him doing this and looking for a needle in a haystack?
Gu Ze walked into a street, which seemed to have a lot fewer people and felt a lot more deserted. It's like a busy street that has been left out by people. As he walked on, he saw a table on the side of the street, and a long cloth hung from a wooden stick next to the table, on which were written a few words: Soul Raid.
And in front of the table sat an old man with gray hair and a plain appearance, the old man's hair was as white as the moon and snow, he was wearing a linen robe, and his eyes were closed and he was sitting at the table.
Gu Ze slowly walked towards the old man with a curious gaze, he walked to the table and glanced at the words on the white cloth, and muttered, "Soul robbery?
"As the saying goes, it's a fortune teller. Gu Ze's ears suddenly heard the old man's voice, the sound in his ears made Gu Ze jump, he looked like an old man, because the voice came from the old man.
Gu Ze looked at the white-haired old man whose eyes didn't know when he opened, and asked with a slight smile: "Hello old man, do you know how to tell fortunes?"
Fortune-telling is very mysterious, Gu Ze didn't do fortune-telling in his previous life, and he has seen one or two fortune-telling gentlemen in this life, but they are all tricks, all of them are fake, so he doesn't believe in fortune-telling.
"Fortune telling, naturally, I know everything you want to know. The old man stroked his silver-white beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled slightly.
"Oh, is it so godly? Then I ask you to help me calculate where a person is, can you?" Gu Ze took out a bag of kui coins from the kui ring and put it in front of the old man's table, although he felt that fortune telling was a trick to fool people, but he felt that the fortune teller should know the things in the world very well, and he didn't know where Ji Luoguang was at the moment, maybe he could inquire.
"Count me as a person, little brother, do you want me to count ...... Ji Luoguang. β
