Chapter 78 Obtaining Three Magical Instruments
Although Wei Qiyao acted arrogant and rude, Gu Yuejiarong did not bother with him.
After experiencing what happened tonight, his state of mind has improved greatly. The words "young but experienced" are not enough to describe how shrewd and emotionally stable he is.
Gu Yuejia Rong only focused his eyes on Xu Shanshan, his eyes were like the moonlight, and he was silent: "If you need a reward, you name a price, and I can pay it."
Compared to Wei Qiyao's childish, perverse and fierce appearance, he was undoubtedly as noble and elegant as the eternal white moonlight. Every movement and every word was light and gentle, as if time had stopped for him.
Wei Qiyao licked his gums and laughed angrily.
Is he ignoring me as if I were air?
He twisted his wrist and turned it, making a "crunching" sound. He tilted his neck, like a black panther bending its back as if ready to leap forward and bite. His superior and handsome face was full of murderous intent.
He is different from Wei Canghao. He has a sense of morality, but not much.
He has self-control, but not much.
His hands were stained with blood, and he had fought and survived in a brutal place like Black Island in the past two years. In his eyes, a scholar like Gu Yue Jiarong, who was as weak as a chicken, was easier to crush to death than an ant.
A palm came close and stopped one foot in front of Gu Yuejiarong's forehead. The wind blew his clothes and made his brows stand out.
Gu Yuejiarong narrowed his eyelashes but did not move. Firstly, no matter how hard he dodged, he would not be able to avoid Wei Qiyao's killing palm. Secondly, he had an inexplicable certainty in his heart that Xu Shanshan would not watch him die.
Sure enough, Wei Qiyao froze, and his radical action froze in the middle.
Xu Shanshan lightly pasted a small paper man on his back, and he immediately turned into a wooden stake, unable to move or speak.
Xu Shanshan, you are a traitor!
"Why did you ask him just now?" She passed him by and said something that made Wei Qiyao jealous: "Because he is also one of my fiancés."
Xu Shanshan looked at Gu Yue Jiarong with his dark eyes without any concealment. Sometimes, dealing with smart people can save you a lot of trouble.
"I tell fortunes for people, but I never accept gold or silver," she said.
Gu Yue Jiarong also smiled. He reached his hand into his clothes and took out something. "Then I'll take this as a reward. It is said that this is the protective scales of a deep-sea black turtle. It is very helpful for those who study the mystical arts."
He spread out his slender, jade-like palm, and a piece of nail with a green glow appeared.
Xu Shanshan only took a glance and knew that it was one of the magical weapons she had been looking for.
She looked into his eyes inquiringly. "Are you really going to give it to me? Since you know its value, you know that this deal is not worth it."
Gu Yuejiarong understood the implication of her words.
"But I think it's worth it. After all, I think my life is more valuable than this external object."
Did he mean that he wanted to use this piece of scale armor to repay the debt she had paid him for solving the problems of Shadow Phantom and the "Peach Blossom Evil"?
Xu Shanshan paused for a moment and said, "Okay then."
In this case, she will find another opportunity to repay the "debt" owed by the original owner.
But she finally collected all three magic weapons. When she got the black tortoise scale, her eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they could absorb everything in the world and seemed to hide endless secrets.
The vitality that had been excessively consumed before was gradually restored a lot. The three magic weapons on her body provided her with a certain amount of lifespan as much as possible, but each magic weapon had a limited effectiveness. As long as she used the mystical arts, the power of the magic weapon would inevitably be depleted.
There are only two things left to change your fate.
Borrowing strength from external things is not a long-term solution. Only when you are strong yourself can you act recklessly. Gu Yuejia Rong observed Xu Shanshan's face and found that she looked less and less like the "Xu Shanshan" of the past. Even though they had the same face, she was different from Ying Mei. She didn't seem to want to hide this and showed her existence openly.
But the more she acted like this, the more confused she became, making it difficult to see her clearly, and making people want to clear the fog and find out what was going on.
"If it can help you, that would be great." Gu Yuejiarong's eyes were as bright as stars.
Xu Shanshan was quite satisfied with Gu Yue Jiarong.
He is very intelligent, understands human nature, and knows how to take advantage of situations. A person with a brain like his can survive in all kinds of dangerous situations even if he does not have great power.
Because he knows how to...identify the situation and accurately grasp the key points.
With his sleeves rolled up, the wind blew past, and green bamboo leaves fell slowly to the ground. Xu Shanshan asked him, "What's the name of the person you're looking for?"
"Gong Anguo."
"The yin and yang are strange, and the four seasons are changeable... The person you are looking for may be on the verge of death, and his life or death is unpredictable."
Gu Yuejiarong's expression tensed: "Where is he? Yesterday I specifically asked him to come see me, but he never showed up. I also looked for him in Yingtian Academy, but he was nowhere to be found... Where could he have gotten into trouble?"
The main reason is that they are all outsiders, and they came to Yingtian Academy in Huaijiang only to exchange culture. They have no old grudges or bad relationships, so who would take him away?
"Probably still in Yingtian Academy..." When she was calculating and divination, she also felt another ominous aura. She was reluctant to use the power of origin to make predictions, but it was obvious that this matter involved a lot of scope and the harm was so great that it could not be simply calculated.
A circle of golden light flashed across her dark eyes, and then he saw a scene on Gu Yue Jiarong.
A man looked at the sky and hurried towards a place, but when he passed a house, he heard the crisp sound of "ding-ling-ling". He ignored it at first, but then he heard a short howl.
Out of curiosity and worry, he lay down at the door and peeked inside.
Who would have thought that the door would open with just a slight push.
He stared at everything in the room in astonishment, and the next second his eyes turned blood red...
"your eyes……"
Gu Yuejia was surprised, but the strange phenomenon disappeared in an instant, and Xu Shanshan's eyes had turned back to black.
"Wei Qiyao, where is Lei Feng's residence?"
Wei Qiyao found that his body could move. He was full of grievances and resentment, but when he met Xu Shanshan's cold eyes, he really didn't dare to get angry with her.
He knew... Although he looked cruel, he didn't kill people without hesitation. But once he angered her, she would make others die in ways that no one knew.
She is much colder-hearted than he.
"In the third room of the West Field Courtyard."
When Gu Yuejiarong heard this, he suddenly remembered that he went to look for Gong Anguo that day and passed by this place: "Is it the room where you can hear the bell ringing?"
"Can you hear it too?" Wei Qiyao suddenly looked at him.
In fact, Wei Qiyao had asked many people if they could hear the bell ringing, but they all said no. Even if he dragged people over, no one could hear it.
except him.
All the bells hanging in the room were clearly ringing, and as soon as he got close, the noise was so loud that his head almost exploded. But no one could hear them. Isn't this both weird and terrifying?
