Volume II "Mountains and Rivers Bringing Hardships" Chapter 144: Difficulties
Lin Miao grinned and touched his cheeks: "What does this Master Beimo want to do? Is it fun to deliberately piss wood?" At this time, Gu Xin took a step with a cold face, pondered for a while and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple..." Zhang Tingmu turned his head to look at Gu Xin and asked: "Miss Gu, do you think... or, do you know what evil ways did this Master Beimo use?"
Gu Xin gave Zhang Tinggu a blank look without comment, then curled his lips reluctantly and said, "According to the description of this bastard, that woman did not claim to be Long Yubing, right? Well... I have to see it myself." Su Xiaoyu walked to Gu Xin and pulled Lagu Xin's sleeve to remind her: "Sister Xin, do you want to go to Beimo's house to find out? Is it dangerous?"
Gu Xin laughed and said with a disdainful expression: "Can a mere prefecture still stand me out?" Zhang Tingmu also took a deep breath with excitement and stared at Gu Xin: "Let me go with you." Gu Xin looked at Zhang Tingmu with disgust, and his face became gloomy again: "With you? If you want to go, go by yourself, as I'll save trouble." As he said that, Gu Xin turned his face with frosty face.
Zhang Tingmu could only stand in place with embarrassment, not knowing what to say. Lin Miao looked at Mu Wushuang and Long Yubing who were nowhere to be around, and then nodded with a wicked smile before saying to Zhang Tingmu: "Brother Tingmu, although the Beimo family is not a dragon's nest, it is definitely not a good place. You have to take care of Miss Gu Xin while inquiring about the news. It is indeed a bit troublesome..."
Before Lin Miao finished speaking, Gu Xin immediately glared and said, "I'll take care of him? Haha, you're going to fight a hooligan, right?" Lin Miao took a few steps back and came to Long Yubing, and replied with fearlessness: "Can you beat me?" Gu Xin held his breath, staring at Lin Miao with red eyes, Zhang Tingmu hurriedly blocked Gu Xin, looked down at her and said, "Miss Gu Xin, don't get angry! If you don't want to go with you, Zhang Tingmu will never force you."
Gu Xin looked up at Zhang Tingmu with anger: "Save it, who can force me? It's a joke!" Zhang Tingmu could only nod in a timid way. At this time, Long Yubing walked to Gu Xin and whispered to her: "Miss Gu Xin, what Wushuang said always makes me feel a little embarrassed... The Beimo family must have done this to deal with us!"
Gu Xin glanced at Long Yubing, and his face eased a lot: "Miss Long spent so much money for me just now, and I want to repay your favors, but don't let these guys follow me." After that, Gu Xin walked around Zhang Tingmu with a cold face and walked straight towards Beimo's house. Gu Xin passed through two remote alleys and came outside the courtyard wall of Beimo's house.
Gu Xin looked up at the wall about a meter high, then frowned slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look at it. Zhang Tingmu was standing sneakily at the corner not far away, protruding his head and looking at her. Gu Xin simply turned around, put his left hand on his hip and looked straight at Zhang Tingmu. Zhang Tingmu wanted to hide, but it was too late, so he could only grit his teeth and come to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin raised his head to look at Zhang Tingmu with an angry face, and Zhang Tingmu couldn't say a word. After coming over for a while, Gu Xin said hatefully, "Don't cause trouble for me later", then turned around and jumped into Beimo's mansion. Zhang Tingmu also jumped into the courtyard wall with a happy look on his face. After Gu Xin landed, she immediately felt a hint of regret: she forgot to ask Mu Wushuang where the other courtyard was.
However, Zhang Tingmu seemed to know what she was thinking, and directly said to her in a low voice: "Miss Gu Xin, I know where it is." Gu Xin said unnaturally, and then said reluctantly: "Then you lead the way." Zhang Tingmu nodded, and hugged and flashed past Gu Xin. The two of them arrived at the other courtyard in a short while. Just as Zhang Tingmu was about to touch the attic, Gu Xin had already reached out to stop him: "Wait! Let me see it first."
Zhang Tingmu quietly stood aside, and saw Gu Xin's long hair moving without wind. Then Gu Xin slowly looked at Zhang Tingmu: "This yard is indeed a bit strange, the things inside... uh, it is indeed not a good person." Zhang Tingmu thought for a while and asked, "Then let's go in and take a look?" Gu Xin shook his head and explained: "This villa is actually a magic weapon. Once you go in, you will be discovered by that thing. We should not alarm the snake."
Zhang Tingmu tskated and said, "Really? It seems that there is some trick to find such a powerful thing in the Beimo family." Gu Xin chuckled and curled his lips: "I want to know how Master Beimo found this thing now." Zhang Tingmu took the opportunity to stare at Gu Xin for a while before asking her carefully, "Then... do you know what is in it?"
Gu Xin nodded, then looked at Zhang Tingmu's injured wrist: "Let's talk about it when you go back! Let's go." After that, the two returned to the crowded streets as they were. Zhang Tingmu followed two steps to catch up with Gu Xin and walked side by side with Gu Xin. The two of them had nothing to say and walked around to an alley called Huashi Street. When passing by a tavern, Zhang Tingmu sniffed unnaturally when he saw Gu Xin.
Zhang Tingmu immediately took a step to block Gu Xin: "Miss Gu Xin must be hungry, right? Why don't we eat something here before going back?" Gu Xin slowly bit her lips and looked at Zhang Tingmu with a little embarrassed. In fact, since Gu Xin came to the mortal world, she spent most of her time wandering in the mountains and forests, basically living a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Now that she suddenly came to this alley with snacks and delicious food, Gu Xin could not move her legs.
Seeing Gu Xin's eyes flashing, Zhang Tingmu looked like he was about to stop talking, he mustered up the courage to hold her sleeve and pulled Gu Xin into the tavern without saying anything. Zhang Tingmu saw Gu Xin sitting opposite him with a little excitement, and immediately shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, do you have any specialties?" The owner of the shop ran over with a smile and introduced the specialties in the shop one by one.
Gu Xin just stared at the kitchen door with his eyes shining. Zhang Tingmu smiled and said to Gu Xin, "I don't know if Miss Gu likes meat or vegetarian?" Gu Xin's eyes were full of various snacks and delicacies, and said absent-mindedly: "Don't have fat... and I also like salty food!" Zhang Tingmu nodded, and then subconsciously touched the wallet around his waist.
