"I can't see. Boss Shen, you were a good father."
A pleasant but somewhat cool voice suddenly came in from outside the door. Shen Tai and the butcher both changed their faces, but when they saw a slim figure at the door a moment later, the butcher's face was relaxed, and Shen Tai's eyes were slightly complicated.
He looked at the mature, beautiful, calm but heroic woman in front of him. He smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said, "I've seen shopkeeper Gu. Please forgive me for some of the offenses I've caused over the years."
Gu Lingyun, manager Gu Da, the famous fairy society in Xilu City, is the beautiful woman in front of us. But at this moment, her eyes at Shen Tai obviously don't have much gentle meaning, as if they are just like the strong and vigorous heroism hidden under her charming face. Her eyes are calm but bright and sharp. She looks at Shen Tai, stares at him for a moment, and then says faintly:
"There are 3317 branches of the immortal society all over Hongmeng. It is widely recognized that the business is booming. Only in Xilu City, Yinzhou, Southwest China, has the manager changed three times in ten years. It's Lingyun's turn to come here, and he has been suppressed by your life for five years. He has become a laughingstock in the immortal society and has little chance of promotion. Do you think I will forgive you for offending me like this?"
Shen Tai's face stiffened, and his face showed surprise. The butcher standing beside him, who used to look relaxed, was suddenly shocked to hear Gu Lingyun's sharp words when he first arrived.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound at all. It seemed that no one expected that such a beautiful woman would be as cold and blazing as the sharpest blade, without any consideration for human feelings.
Shen Tai's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and there was a subtle worry in the bottom of his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the cold expression of Gu Lingyun in front of him, he was reluctant to say anything.
Just as the atmosphere in the room was getting colder and colder, suddenly a sound of light footsteps came running quickly from a distance. Before I entered the room, I heard Shen Shi's voice outside the room saying: "uncle, is my father here... Ah, father, you are here!"
Before the voice fell, a young figure had already run in from the door. It was Shen Shi, Shen Tai's only son. Seeing his son standing in front of him, Shen Tai also looked relaxed and smiled again. He reached out to touch the head of his son who ran to him, smiled and nodded.
After taking a deep look at Shen Shi, Shen Tai secretly bit his teeth, suddenly turned his head to the beautiful woman who was still standing at the door, bowed to the ground and said, "shopkeeper Gu, in the past, you and I were masters of our own business. We had conflicts and disputes in business, but it was Shen Tai's unreasonable fault to offend us. Now I... my father and son are lost dogs, and I hope that shopkeeper Gu has a lot of them. Let our father and son have a way."
Speaking later, Shen Tai lowered his head, lowered his voice and expression, and said that it was not too much to plead. Shen Shi was shocked by this move for a moment. He opened his mouth and turned to look at Gu Lingyun. There was a faint anger on his face. However, he soon realized that his father behind him pulled his skirt.
Shen Shi turned to look at Shen Tai, but he still bent down and couldn't see his face. Shen Shi was stunned and speechless. After a moment, he silently bowed his head and stood beside his father. He hung his head and didn't say anything. Only his two arms hanging on his side quietly clenched into fists.
In this situation, Rao Shi has always been hard-hearted. The butcher who has been standing beside him since just now can't help frowning and hesitating for a moment. He turns to Gu Lingyun and frowns softly: "they are the shopkeeper..."
Gu Lingyun gave him a cold look. The butcher immediately shrank back from the second half of his words, gave a wry smile, shook his head and turned away.
The footsteps rang softly, but Gu Lingyun slowly walked into the room. He came to the Shen family and his son. He took a deep look at the man in front of him who showed a little humility and refused to get up. Suddenly, he gave a cold hum, reached out to help Shen Tai up, and then walked to the table. If there was no one, he sat down, He said lightly: "well, don't look like this. We have been fighting in Xilu city for five years. We can't deceive people by accepting the burden of punishment or enduring humiliation. Don't play any more."
The butcher was stunned. Turning his head, Shen Tai stared at the charming woman for a moment. He suddenly laughed. He went to the opposite side of Gu Lingyun's table and sat down. He held his fists and said, "shopkeeper Gu is really bright. I admire you. Although you and I have been enemies for many years, we actually know each other the most. I was there just now..."
Gu Lingyun raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm a woman who hasn't come out of the cabinet. Boss Shen, you said you knew me the most. Are you taking advantage of me?"
Shen Tai's smile suddenly froze, and an embarrassed look flashed across his face. Rao Shi took his smooth surname as his son. But in the face of Gu Lingyun's sharp words, he really didn't know how to make it right now. It seems that in the past five years, he really offended the beautiful woman in Xilu city.
Fortunately, after Gu Lingyun said this, he didn't mean to continue to make trouble. He just snorted angrily, and his eyes fell on Shen Shi, who was standing beside Shen Tai. After a while, he said, "is this your son?"
Shen Tai nodded hurriedly, relieved, and said, "yes, my child Shen Shi is 12 years old this year." Then he said to Shen Shi, "this is manager Gu Lingyun and Gu Da of the fairy society. Please call me... Aunt Yun?"
At the end of this remark, Shen Tai involuntarily glanced at Gu Lingyun again. Although he and Gu Lingyun had not been out of touch in the past five years, most of them were fights between open swords and hidden arrows in the business field. It was the first time that he sat down and chatted like this. Gu Lingyun was so hard to talk just now. He was really afraid that Aunt Yun would offend her inexplicably again.
However, in the eyes of the Shen family and his son, and after Shen Shi hesitated to call out the word "aunt Yun", Gu Lingyun did not get angry this time, but nodded peacefully.
Shen Tai waited for a while, but found that the beautiful woman didn't mean to continue talking. Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. She turned to look at the butcher standing next to her. The butcher laughed, but leaned against the door and looked up at the sky.
Shen Tai glared at him, but in spite of his frustration, he still had the nerve to apologize and said to Gu Lingyun, "shopkeeper Gu, you've heard about my previous appointment with your association. Is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
Gu Lingyun flicked his white fingers on the table a few times and said with a pale face: "the immortals will come with the most important goodwill and promises. We will not regret what we promised."
Shen Tai was so happy that he stood up and arched his hands and said, "thank you. In this way, could you please arrange for our father and son to leave Xilu city as soon as possible? After all, this is the Xuanyin sect's sphere of influence. We have long dreams at night..."
In the middle of her speech, Gu Lingyun suddenly interrupted her by waving her hand. She looked cool, pointed at Shen Shi with her hand and said softly, "your son can go, but..." she glanced at Shen Tai, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted. Shen Tai and Shen Shi both sank at the same time. She only heard her say: "stay here."
"Poof!" There was a low and dull sound, but Shen Shi's mood suddenly stirred. He clenched his teeth and couldn't help but take a step forward angrily. But then he was pulled by Shen Tai. Rao was so. Shen Tai's face was also very ugly at the moment. He sat down again slowly. After a while, he said in a low voice: "why? Please teach me."
Gu Lingyun's face remained unchanged and said calmly, "your work has not been finished."
Shen Tai's face flashed a little angry, and he said in a deep voice: "shopkeeper Gu joked. I obviously swapped out the 'Yin Chao bead' and replaced it with the fake one you gave me. As long as old monster Li uses this fake spirit bead to cultivate himself, the end will be unknown. I'm a small man in the Qi refining realm. I secretly plotted against a powerful immortal in the yuan Dan realm. Shopkeeper Gu, you still say that I haven't finished my work. Isn't that true?"
Gu Lingyun smiled faintly and said, "boss Shen, you're at a loss, aren't you
Shen Tai's face sank abruptly, staring at Gu Lingyun and slowly said: "you are really well-informed, manager Gu. It seems that you have many eyes and ears in Xuanyin sect."
Gu Lingyun seemed not to have heard Shen Tai's words, and went on to say, "what we agreed before was that an elder would punish old monster Li if he didn't like him. Once we succeeded, we would naturally ensure your father and son's safety. At the same time, we would arrange for you to escape from Xuanyin gate and give your son a chance to practice immortality in a famous sect. But that's it?"
Shen Tai nodded slowly and said, "not bad."
Gu Lingyun glanced at him and said: "but now, the matter has not been completed. Old monster Li has not got the bead. Even if he does, he has not started to cultivate. As long as he doesn't have an accident, the matter is not finished."
Shen Tai remained silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "what do you want?"
Gu Lingyun said without hesitation: "your son will go first and leave Yinzhou. You will stay here with me. If this is successful, I will arrange for you to leave anonymously. If it fails, if the Xuanyin gate tracks me down, you will be the scapegoat. The immortals will not protect you."
Shen Tai's eye muscles twitched for a moment and said, "are you going to hand me over?"
"Xuanyin sect has a great influence in Yinzhou. It is not an ordinary sect, and a great immortal in Yuandan kingdom is not so easy to provoke."
Shen Tai sneered with some sarcasm. Gu Lingyun just didn't understand it. He said that the yuan Dan realm was not easy to provoke and that the Xuanyin sect had extraordinary power. But before, immortals would dig into its corners and act insidiously. How can there be any scruples?
After a moment's silence, Shen Tai said coldly: "if you hand me over, aren't you afraid that I will drag you in?"
Gu Lingyun smiled and said, "your son is still in our hands."
Shen Tai and Shen Shi all looked up in a flash, including the butcher. They all looked at the charming and charming woman with an indescribable expression. Gu Lingyun seemed to be unaware of it, and said, "so, boss Shen, please ask the gods and Buddhas to bless you more, so that old monster Li will be unlucky. Use the fake spirit beads honestly."
Shen Tai's face changed, and the color of pain and struggle kept flashing. Shen Shi's face was also extremely pale. Standing next to his father, his eyes were full of worry. His hands were too hard, and even his fingernails were deeply stuck in the palm of his hand.
After a long time, Shen Tai suddenly gave a long sigh and said in a low voice: "I understand. Just do everything as shopkeeper Gu said. I'll stay and wait for the news."
Gu Lingyun smiled and said nothing, but Shen Shi, who was standing beside Shen Tai, trembled a little and called out softly: "Dad..."
The voice is very quiet, but it seems to contain countless emotions, grief, anger, worry and anxiety. It seems that thousands of words can not be said clearly. In the end, it only turns into one sentence, one word.
Shen Tai looked at his son and forced a smile. He turned to Gu Lingyun and said, "shopkeeper Gu, before Shitou leaves, I have something to say to him alone. I wonder if I can?"
Gu Lingyun stood up with her head nodded, and the skirt of her Bisha Luo skirt was swinging gently. The whole person was like a delicate and beautiful flower in the spring, shining in all directions, and walked out of the room leisurely. Behind her, the butcher remained silent for a while, then sighed softly and followed her out.
Soon, only the Shen family and their son were left in the house.
