Of course, Gu Wuji still agreed to Xia Yangshuo’s request.
Although this work wasn’t related to the entertainment industry as he had expected at the beginning, but he might be able to get acquainted with some people specializing in this field, and will definitely be able to know of somethings as well.
After all, that Grandmaster Ning had been taken away by Cheng Jia in this manner before. The members of the Ning family certainly wouldn’t be willing to take this things lying down. Hence, he should be prepared for any eventualities.
Contrariwise, Gu Wuji didn’t feel troubled because of this. He had already spent more than 20 years of his life like this anyway. The troublesome matter now had only changed from ghost to human, that’s all, which was all the same.
Xia Yangshuo was simply wild with joy after receiving a positive answer from Gu Wuji. He felt that he would certainly be able to raise his brows and blow off steam to those paternal male cousins of his, who’ve always looked down on him, as well as obtain the position of an heir…… When that time comes, Cheng Jia would fall so far behind to even be compared with him.
For a moment, Xia Yangshuo’s attitude towards Gu Wuji became even better. He even willingly expressed that he would promise him all kinds of benefits. Things that would make the eyes of some ordinary people red upon hearing it.
However, Gu Wuji, who was listening to Xia Yangshuo’s words, had an extremely insipid expression, that even made Xia Yangshuo sense a bit of impatience exuding from it.
Xia Yangshuo was shocked. This really was worthy of being a otherworldly expert. If he was change to an ordinary person, even the people from those families will be moved upon hearing this. But Gu Wuji actually didn’t look like he cares about this at all…… Grandmaster Gu must probably be completely uninterested about these mundane things, right?
Xia Yangshuo’s evaluation of Gu Wuji rose a bit higher. He also casually mentioned his recent industry in the entertainment industry afterwards.
He unexpectedly discovered an instant change in Gu Wuji’s attitude immediately afterwards, as if the other was brimming with interest.
Xia Yangshup felt even more admiration towards Gu Wuji. Such an otherworldly expert, who entered the entertainment industry for fun, actually had such a dedicated attitude. This must be the kind of person who is an artist! Had he forcibly arranged any movie for the other party, then it might insult the other party’s pursuit. That was too close! He’d almost done an irreparable matter.
So Xia Yangshuo didn’t continue to touch upon the topic about the entertainment industry. Completely unaware of the fact on how he had completely missed the opportunity to raise Gu Wuji’s favorability.
The two individuals finished their meals afterwards. Because the bodyguards were ordered to wait outside before in order to maintain secrecy, Xia Yangshuo, now had to lower himself to open the door for Gu Wuji. There’s no way he’d allow Grandmaster Gu to do this after all.
Xia Yangshuo, who’d even feel disgruntled when opening the door in the past, now felt that this was an honor. He was serving such a otherworldly expert after all.
The two had just taken a few steps outside, when they noticed a woman, with a child at hand, suddenly lose her balance at a corner up ahead.
Gu Wuji swiftly step forward to support the other person. This action prevented that woman from falling down the ground. He then asked: “Are you alright?”
It was only at this moment did he realize that the woman he was supporting was incredibly cold, but the other party was obviously a living person. Aside from having deathly pale complexion, cold sweat constantly trickled down from her face, as if she was suffering from a sudden illness. She then weakly voiced out a thank you to Gu Wuji.
Coming from Gu Wuji’s many years of experience, the other party didn’t seem to be suffering from a sudden illness, but appears to be being eroded by Yin qi* instead.
*Negative energy -> Yin qi
“Could there also be ghosts here?” Gu Wuji couldn’t help from contemplating.
“Why isn’t there anyone here?” Xia Yangshuo rushed from behind with furrowed brows. He didn’t expect to run into such annoying matters by just going out. It would be annoying if he was going be extorted by someone, even more so at this moment, when Grandmaster Gu was also involved. So, he immediately contacted the restaurant staff.
Gu Wuji used a little bit of healing ability on the other party, before finally assisting the woman to a seat on the side. The woman’s complexion showed a slight improvement. She was completely unaware that this was the effect of Gu Wuji’s skill, and only thought that this was the result after she had rested a bit.
However, that child beside her looked at Gu Wuji at this moment.
Only then did Gu Wuji notice this seemingly 7 to 8 year old boy at the side. He looked very beautiful and lovely, aside from having a very pale complexion, and ice-cold expression. His pitch-black pupils, which was fixedly looking at Gu Wuji, exudes an unreasonably hair-raising kind of feeling.
Could the reason, why this woman had become like this, have some connection with this child?
“What did you do, just a while ago?” The boy asked with a low voice.
Gu Wuji always felt an unspeakably dangerous vibe in him. But no matter how he looks at him, he was just a child.…… and was completely different from the feeling that ghosts exudes.
He didn’t give an answer to the other party’s query, but merely took out the Rubik’s cube he had and held it out to the other party, “To have suddenly encountered this kind of thing, you must also be very uneasy, right? Take this.”
While saying this, Gu Wuji very naturally leaned over and held the other party’s hand, then personally taught him on how to play this Rubik’s cube. This toy was an item Gu Wuji had previously bought from the system’s mall, which just happens to be put into use at this moment.
The boy took the Rubik’s cube Gu Wuji had proffered. It seems that this was the first time he had received such a toy, as well as the first time he was being patiently guided by such a gentle and beautiful person. That he unexpectedly became a bit dazed, but he still looked up to gaze at Gu Wuji several times, with a bit of vague expectations in his gaze.
It was only at this moment, did this boy really give off the feeling like a normal living child.
“What reason do you have for wanting to give me this? Is there something you want?”
Gu Wuji shook his head and showed a faint smile, “You only have to accept it.”
Of course, Gu Wuji still agreed to Xia Yangshuo’s request.
Although this work wasn’t related to the entertainment industry as he had expected at the beginning, but he might be able to get acquainted with some people specializing in this field, and will definitely be able to know of somethings as well.
