Chapter 121: Entanglement

As soon as the thin black man surnamed Jiang was gone, the atmosphere in the room suddenly eased, and the people around him stood far or near, glancing at this side from time to time, and vague whispers came and went.

Shen Shi glanced around, but saw that except for Chen Li of the Immortal Society, who followed a few of his subordinates out of the door, no one else had any intention of coming, and beside him, Ling Chunni, who was already looking miserable, was still lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly, as if he had not recovered from the nightmare just now.

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then turned around and squatted down beside Ling Chunni, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, his face turned pale, and he reluctantly sat up straight, many of his originally meticulous hair fell down weakly, and the blood marks on the corners of his mouth looked even more dazzling and desolate, just like the charming and infinitely brilliant and beautiful woman not long ago. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at Shen Shi, and said softly, "I'...... OK. ”

There seemed to be a tremor in that voice, and I don't know how much grievance and shame were implied, especially in the eyes of those around him who were sarcastic, contemptuous, or ridiculed in this large public.

Shen Shi nodded, a little hesitant for a while, just now he was angry in his heart, and without thinking too much, he stood up to stop the black and thin man's atrocities, but at this moment, looking at Ling Chunni's appearance, he didn't know what to do all of a sudden. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps walking to his side, he looked up, but it was Gu Lingyun who came over.

At this moment, Gu Lingyun's face was calm, but she no longer had the gentle smile like a spring breeze before, and glanced at Ling Chunni who was sitting on the ground lightly, and she asked Shen Shi:

"Do you know her?"

Shen Shi stood up, frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, and said, "I met her once a few months ago, and I have a relationship, but I am not too familiar. ”

Gu Lingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of playfulness flashed in his bright eyes, he shook his head, seemed to sigh a little, and said, "It turns out that you just stood up for this meager friendship, it seems that I really didn't see through you before." ”

Shen Shi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he thought to himself that it was no wonder that Gu Lingyun said these words, for the sake of a woman who had almost no friendship, he rashly carried a head monk who didn't know what sect it was, this kind of thing was really not something that ordinary people would do casually. However, after thinking back on the mood just now, Shen Shi found that he didn't seem to have too much regret, so he spread his hands slightly, and then said to Gu Lingyun: "It's me who was reckless, if you cause trouble to Aunt Gu, please forgive me." ”

Gu Lingyun smiled faintly, waved his hand slightly, and said, "It's just some trivial things that don't come to the table, and it's not a trouble." It's just that this woman is the female companion brought in by Jiang Shaoyuan, and now that he is gone, if there is no one to guarantee it, this is still a private gathering place after all, and she can't stay here. ”

Shen Shi nodded, there was no objection to this, originally this place was the place where the Immortal Society invited some distinguished guests to come to the auction, and some rules were normal. He thought for a moment, then turned to Ling Chunni, who was already struggling to stand up, and said:

"What do you think?"

Ling Chunni forced a smile, and before she could speak, she felt that there were many faint contemptuous eyes around her, and her heart seemed to twitch again, and a weak sense of humiliation came to her heart.

It turns out that after so long, I still haven't gotten used to it?

It turns out that under the charming and beautiful scenery, what is hidden is still that humility, and it will never be able to turn over.

She lowered her head and whispered, "I'd better go." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and there was no objection, originally, he didn't have a deep friendship with Ling Chunni, he saved her once just now, and it could be regarded as his benevolence and righteousness, as for what to do more, there was no need for this. He glanced back at Gu Lingyun, Gu Lingyun nodded, and then beckoned, and a man subordinate to the Immortal Society immediately came over next to him, Gu Lingyun whispered a few words to him, the man nodded in agreement, and then walked to Ling Chunni's side and walked out of the house with her.

When she was about to go out, Ling Chunni suddenly glanced back again, but saw that Shen Shi was not looking at her, but was whispering something to Gu Lingyun.

Among the people in the room, in the scene just now, perhaps only this man had a calm gaze without disgust and disdain.

She was silent and didn't speak, just looked at it deeply, and then walked out with her head down.

※※※

For the guests in this room, although the conflict and commotion just now was surprising, everyone was a person with status, status and self-cultivation, even if Jiang Shaoyuan was the head of a sect, but it seemed that few people in this room had any scruples about this person's demeanor, and soon after this matter subsided, calm quickly returned to this room.

Everyone chatted and chatted, looking at the spiritual materials, and the atmosphere was peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

And in the corner of the room, Gu Lingyun was still talking to Shen Shi, and said, "Do you really have no friendship with that woman?"

Shen Shi smiled bitterly and nodded, "It's true." ”

Gu Lingyun looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Then you have fallen in love with her beauty?"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, immediately shook his head, and said, "There is no such thing." ”

Gu Lingyun bowed her head, but looking at her expression, it didn't seem like she was completely convinced, and said lightly: "It's not good, young people are strong-blooded, and they are most easily bewitched by the outside world, you are now in a famous family, and you have reached the realm of Ning Yuan at a young age, as long as there are no accidents in the future, the path of cultivation will be open and broad." What will you not get in the future, so it is best to clean yourself and love yourself. ”

Shen Shi was silent, Gu Lingyun used to have a relationship with his father Shen Taiping, and at this moment, he put on a posture of being taught by an elder, and he had nothing to say, so he had to nod honestly and said, "Yes, I know." ”

Gu Lingyun smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, if you don't listen to these words, go and see those things, the auction will start in a while." ”

Shen Shi agreed, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to turn around, but the two of them suddenly heard a sudden commotion from outside the house at the same time.

The voice was not too loud, but it sounded very clear, as if a woman had some kind of dispute with someone, and almost all the people in this room had a good way, and their ears and eyes were clear almost all at once.

The woman's voice was Ling Chunni, who had not been out for a long time.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and his steps paused, but Gu Lingyun's face was a little angry, although this matter was not big, but it was quite dull to her face, so his expression quickly became cold, and he didn't even call others, and walked out of the house directly.

Shen Shi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed.

Out of the door is the courtyard, a few old trees standing, fragrant grass, there are several people near the gate in front, most of them are from the Immortal Society, Ling Chunni is standing not far from the gate, and Chen Li, who went out to send Jiang Shaoyuan out first, is standing next to Ling Chunni, his face is solemn and gloomy, saying something in his mouth, and he is trying to grab Ling Chunni's arm, as if he wants to ask her out. But Ling Chunni didn't know why, he walked to this gate, but suddenly he hesitated, with a little fear on his face, he was so different from Chen Li or begging for something, struggling to live and refuse to walk out of this gate.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on over there in Ling Chunni, but Gu Lingyun had a cold face, walked over and glanced at everyone, and suddenly all the subordinates of the Immortal Society at the gate, including Chen Li, were silent.

"What's going on?" Gu Lingyun asked coldly.

Chen Li secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the beautiful and delicate shopkeeper, but a wry smile flashed across his face, and he said in a low voice: "Master Jiang is guarding the door and refuses to leave. ”

Gu Lingyun and Shen Shi, who was standing on the side, were stunned when they heard this, and then they both understood, Gu Lingyun snorted coldly, and glanced out of the gate from a distance, and sure enough, on the street outside the mansion of the Immortal Society, Jiang Shaoyuan, who was black, thin and short, with an ugly face and a violent face at the moment, was standing outside, staring at this place angrily, and there were three or four men standing near him, all of whom seemed to be subordinates of his disciples, and they were also menacing at the moment.

No wonder Ling Chunni didn't dare to go out, once he walked out of the gate, it was obvious that he would be taken away immediately and then life would be worse than death.

Chen Li glanced at Gu Lingyun carefully, lowered his voice, and said softly in a voice that only Gu Lingyun could hear: "Big shopkeeper, do you want me to go out and drive these people away?"

Gu Lingyun snorted and said, "What are you rushing for, no matter what people say, they are also our guests, and they haven't done anything wrong." However, this blocking the gate of my Immortal Society in broad daylight, is it looking down on me Gu Lingyun as a female streamer?"

Chen Li's neck shrank, and he didn't dare to say a word, Gu Lingyun's eyes flickered, but he was silent for a while, and he didn't say anything more immediately, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and after a while, he saw her slowly turn around, first glanced at Ling Chunni, and then his eyes fell on Shen Shi's face.

Shen Shi saw this scene in his eyes from beginning to end, and naturally understood what was going on outside the door, and there was a sense of turmoil in his heart, seeing Gu Lingyun's faint gaze at him at this moment, he also smiled helplessly, but since he had already helped Ling Chunni once, it seemed that he couldn't just ignore it, did he really force this weak woman to walk out of the door and fall into the hands of those vicious men again?

He sighed and said, "Aunt Gu, can I trouble you again?"

Gu Lingyun looked at him calmly, without agreeing or refusing, but just faintly said "oh" with a little doubt.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "It's only that if I owe you a favor, and when I am on Jinhong Mountain in the future, I will definitely spend an extra hour every day to find it." ”

The corners of Gu Lingyun's mouth twitched slightly, a faint smile flashed, and said, "Okay." ”

As she spoke, she made a casual move, and Chen Li hurriedly walked over and said, "Big shopkeeper, what do you command?"

Gu Lingyun turned around, and said at the same time: "Take them to the side door, be careful with the eyes and ears around you, don't alarm those people outside, it's smoky, I don't know what I'm doing, next time remember not to invite these wastes over." ”

Chen Li nodded, and said continuously: "Yes, yes, my subordinates know." ”

Gu Lingyun nodded and floated away, while Chen Li turned around and walked in front of Shen Shi and Ling Chunni, glanced at them expressionlessly, and said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”
