Chapter Seventy-Eight: Jiang Cheng's Chance Encounter (I)

It's winter now, and although it hasn't snowed yet, the cold north wind has a biting chill that makes people really not want to go out.

There are not many pedestrians today, Gu Ming stood on the steps of the door of a grocery store in the West Street Market, looked left and right, and there were only a few pedestrians coming and going in the streets and alleys.

Looking at the new or old, long or short, and different colors of cotton clothes on the pedestrians, Gu Ming, who was still wearing a single coat, smiled proudly.

A sense of superiority as a cultivator arises spontaneously.

Although his cultivation is still shallow, and he has not yet tempered his muscles and bones to the point where he is not invaded by cold and heat, due to his cultivation of the exercises, his body is full of spiritual energy, and his physique has begun to be different from ordinary people, and the impact of changes in the outside climate on him has been much smaller.

If I had awakened the spiritual root a few years earlier, how good would it be!!

This emotion is said for himself, and of course for Lu Sheng.

But after thinking about it, Lu Sheng was able to awaken the spiritual root early, then everything would change, and maybe there would be nothing to worry about!

Hehe, a drink and a peck are not predetermined, the word fate is mysterious and mysterious, let God worry about it!!

Forget it, it's going well today, let's go back early!

Thinking of this, Gu Ming was about to leave with brisk steps in high spirits, when something happened suddenly.

"Gu Ming?"

A voice came from behind him, seemingly shouting his name.

Forehead?

How can anyone here know me?!

Even if there is, if you want to call it, you should call it the name "Lu Sheng", and I am afraid that it will be called Gu Ming...... In surprise, he turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Wow!!

I saw three people standing not far behind him, led by a lovely man with plain clothes and a plain skirt, a brocade cloak, a light veil covering his face, big eyes and black hair, and fluttering fairies.

Judging from the outfit, it can only be determined that it is a young girl.

Judging from the figure, it is vaguely a familiar senior sister.

The beautiful mushroom Liang saw that Gu Ming stood still, looked back, and immediately confirmed his identity, and then led the two middle-aged people who looked like businessmen behind him to step forward.

Just when Gu Ming was silently guessing, the girl looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then she gently untied half of the veil, revealing the delicate face behind her.

Wow, you can meet creditors here, oh, employers!

"I thought I was wrong, I didn't expect to meet you in Jiang Cheng!

Eh, there is no need to guess this, the only one who can talk like this must be Senior Sister Mei'er.

"Senior Sister Mei'er is polite, I never thought that I could meet here, fate, it's really fate!"

Gu Ming saluted Liu Mei'er respectfully on the surface, but he sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, in the past few days, I have made up for the deficit by alchemy, otherwise I would not be able to hand over other people's "orders" if I met by chance today, and my brother's reputation would not be ruined!

It's dangerous!

"Hehe, naughty, you have a fate with your Senior Sister Ye'er!"

Just as Liu Meier was laughing, the two were already standing face to face.

"Senior sister really loves to laugh!"

"Senior sister, I don't have that mood! Recently, the little girl has broken her heart for some things!"

Liu Mei'er stared at Gu Ming for a while, and her originally playful expression suddenly turned into a look of resentment.

"The little woman bet her life on an alchemy master who claims to be a genius, but she didn't expect that this master was completely unreliable, often not doing his job, doing things everywhere for three days, learning swords for a while, going out to study for a while, and going to the city to spend time drinking and drinking, but he didn't want to feel at ease alchemy!"

"The little girl is so miserable!"

As she spoke, Liu Meier raised her hand to cover her face with her sleeve and sobbed softly.

Due to the cover of the sleeves, Gu Ming couldn't see clearly whether Liu Mei'er was really crying or fake crying!

Damn, this senior sister is true and false on weekdays, false and true, today's show is reasonable and well-founded, and it is really hard to judge Gu Ming's face for a while when I hear it!

Hearing Liu Mei'er's muffled cry, Gu Ming, who was already apologetic, was even more at a loss.

Muma, Lao Tzu can't see women's tears the most.

Narrator: Especially beautiful women!

Gu Ming: ...... Why are you everywhere!

In this large audience, Gu Ming didn't dare to pull and pull with Liu Mei'er, so he could only bow and bow to her.

"Senior sister, don't cry, don't cry first, listen to my explanation!"

"Explain what?"

Liu Mei'er lowered her sleeves and revealed her slightly red eyes a little, leaned sideways, and secretly glanced at Gu Ming.

Nima, these reddish eyes don't know whether to cry or rub.

Although I, Gu Ming, am not a big husband, but I still have the basic principles of dealing with the world!"

As he spoke, Gu Ming hurriedly summoned the bag prepared in the Qiankun bag into his hand, held the bag in both hands and bowed down to Liu Mei'er.

"This is the alchemy obtained this month, according to the agreement, now both hands are offered, please check the owner!

Liu Mei'er's eyes were shining, and she no longer had the posture of the little daughter just now, so she generously took the bag from Gu Ming's hand, opened it and probed inside.

"Hehe! Not bad, the quality is not bad! Yo, there are still a lot of high-grade Qi Seeking Pills! It seems that Senior Brother Gu's alchemy technique has made rapid progress!"

Looking at Liu Mei'er, who burst into tears and laughed so quickly, the black lines on Gu Ming's forehead appeared one after another.

Nima, it seems that she has been deceived by this girl again today!

Nima, just like this, just this acting! Ao Xka really owes you a little golden man!

I'm still too young?!

Gu Ming sighed again!

Liu Mei'er didn't care about Gu Ming's resentment, and handed the bag to the middle-aged man in the purple brocade robe behind her, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, it's just right! You come with me, I'll take you to a place, and by the way, I will also take this month's task back!"

From the raised corners of her eyebrows, it can be seen that she is in a good mood now.

Although Gu Ming wanted to leave Jiang Cheng earlier, since his employer had a request, Gu Ming was embarrassed to refuse immediately.

"Eh, senior sister, doesn't our relationship need to be kept secret?

"It's okay, it's okay! This is not the Mochizuki Sword Sect! And this place is only a few steps away from here, just around the corner of the alley, we can afford this risk!"

Since the employer said so, Gu Ming had no choice but to comply.

"Then please lead the way!"

......

The place where Liu Mei'er took Gu Ming was indeed very close.

The group of four people walked only a few dozen steps, walked through the alley to the main street, and entered a shop around the corner.

Mission Pavilion!

Not tall or short, the upper and lower three-storey wooden buildings, Biwa Zhuyong, decoration is very exquisite.

However, when I came over today, the group did not pass through the main hall gate of the shop, but took the shopkeeper's passage through the side door.

Walking through the patio to the back hall, several neatly dressed young maids skillfully untied their cloaks for Liu Meier and the other three, and then changed a group of servants to welcome a few people into the living room, and when a few people just sat down, a group of servants immediately came to serve hot water, hot silk scarves, and hot tea.

Hot silk scarves are used to dispel the cold on the forehead and cheeks, hot water is used to wash hands, and hot tea warms the heart and stomach!

Nima, you really know how to enjoy it! Rich people are exquisite!

Gu Ming was not very accustomed to being served like this, he didn't wipe his face or wash his hands, he directly picked up the hot tea sent by the servant, and said "thank you" to the maid who served the tea.

This action made Liu Mei'er giggle, and also made the maid who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old next to her at a loss, and her face was red to the root of her ears.

The middle-aged man who looked like the shopkeeper quickly resolved this embarrassment, he put down the tea cup in his hand, did not speak, and gestured with his eyes, and the manservant behind him immediately understood, and hurriedly walked over to take the maid who was still shy.

Senior Sister Liu smiled, Gu Ming felt a little dissatisfied, making him look like a bun!

Well, he was originally a dirt bun, okay!

Cut, all evil old society, you are a backward feudal class and a degenerate life! I am a new person born in New China and raised under the red flag with ideals, morality, culture, and discipline, so I disdain to be with you!

Gu Ming drank a few sips of tea with disgust, to be honest, after running around for a long time, he was really a little thirsty.

"Ouch, I'm laughing to death!Senior Brother Gu, is this how you usually please girls?"

Liu Meier's veil has been removed, because she has just come back from outside, her pink face is a little red, she is really a "beautiful frozen person"!

"Let my senior sister laugh, I'm just used to living a hard life, and I'm not used to being served!"

"Dare to let the dignified alchemist live a hard life, it seems that Master Lin is too petty!"

Hearing that Liu Mei'er actually dared to joke about Lin Ziqian, Gu Ming was not happy, stood up, stared at this girl with a serious face, and said, "Senior sister said that she was joking." Although the family teacher is strict, he has never owed me and other disciples a single inch in life!"

Liu Mei'er was also a human-like figure, and immediately sensed Gu Ming's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly got up and walked in front of him with lotus steps.

"Senior Brother Gu is right, it is indeed the senior sister's words that have offended Master Lin!

"Okay! Senior Sister is also an unintentional mistake! Senior Brother Gu will forgive me once, okay?!"

Liu Mei'er apologized and pressed Gu Ming back into the chair.

"Sit down, let's sit down and talk!"

People apologized sincerely, and with a pair of slender jade hands on their shoulders, green silk brushed on their faces, and the fragrance bursted, Gu Ming's heart rose a different kind of throbbing, and his little anger was immediately dispersed.

In Gu Ming's opinion, the actions of the two felt that there was nothing, and the communication between men and women in modern society was taken for granted, but in the Shenzhou Continent, others felt a little out of place.

No, the middle-aged shopkeeper who was sitting next to him just now frowned, took a sip of tea, pretended to choke, and coughed a few times.

The coughing voice was loud and powerful, and people who understood it knew it was pretending when they heard it.

Liu Mei'er and Gu Ming are both understanding people, and she also noticed that some of her casual actions were indeed inappropriate, her pretty face was slightly red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and walked back to her seat.

Gu Ming sat on the chair, turned his head and took another sip of the teacup, pretending not to pay attention to it.
