Chapter 1193
"Why did you come to my place?" Gu Zheng asked in doubt. There were so many guests, most of them were single, and occasionally there were a few people.
"Because when I came, most of your dishes were untouched." The little girl swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, and then answered.
Gu Zheng thought about it and it was true. He was the last one to come. He had just tasted two dishes carefully, and she appeared. She didn't touch the two plates he touched at all, and she was a bit of a germaphobe.
"What's your name? How do these dishes taste?" Gu Zheng asked with interest. At this time, the little girl finally stopped her hand movements after eating nearly half of the food, and then sat down, covering her slightly bulging belly.
"My name is Xiangxiang. I've eaten it before, but it's not as good as my family's." The little girl said shamelessly, without any scruples about the servants not far away.
It seems that Gu Zheng's behavior of letting her eat has aroused some favor in her.
"Then is your family usually better than this?" Gu Zheng seemed to look down on her a little, because he could see that she was not lying.
"Then why do you eat so much? It feels like you haven't eaten for several days."
"I ran away secretly because I was tired of the food at home. I wanted to find something more delicious. I heard that human food is delicious. My family didn't let me go out, so I secretly found an opportunity and slipped out." The little girl blushed, lowered her head subconsciously, and whispered.
"I have been looking for a few days, and only then did I find that the food here is tasty. I can't eat anything else."
Gu Zheng was stunned when he heard it. He looked at the little girl strangely. He found that the little girl actually had the cultivation of the initial stage of the celestial fairy. He really didn't expect it.
If the other party hadn't let it slip in the words, he really wouldn't have thought of detecting her. This little girl seems too simple.
Looking at this sweet little girl, sitting there like an adult, she looked like a little adult, and couldn't help but smile.
"You should go back. The outside world is too dangerous. Be careful not to be kidnapped by bad people." Although it was not his business, Gu Zheng still suggested that a little girl with no experience would be useless even if her cultivation was high.
Be careful that others sell her, and she also helps others count money.
"No, those bad guys can't get close to me, brother, can you cook? I just saw you, and my family's chef's expression is exactly the same when he eats something new." Xiangxiang asked curiously.
"Of course not, I'm just a gourmet." Gu Zheng thought in his heart that if it comes to cooking, I'm afraid that if I say I'm second, no one dares to claim to be first.
"Brother, you are lying, lying is not good, you are obviously a great cook." Xiangxiang's eyes flashed brightly, looking at Gu Zheng, and said seriously.
"Okay, you are right, I am a great cook." Gu Zheng was defeated by Xiangxiang's innocent words, how could he praise others like this.
"Okay, I'm going back, you should go home early too, don't let your family worry." Gu Zheng took out some money from his sleeves, of course it was provided by Xiaoxie, and he had to go back to inquire about the five elements materials, so he didn't have much time to delay here.
Gu Zheng and his group walked out directly. The little girl had the cultivation of the middle stage of the celestial being, so it was really difficult to hurt her.
As soon as they left the restaurant, they saw a large group of people passing by the door. They were full of energy and led by a suspected captain. They walked in the opposite direction of Gu Zheng. It seemed that they were the patrol team of this city. Since he came in, he had seen many of them.
The defense was really frequent. No wonder the city's security was so good.
Gu Zheng sighed while continuing to walk towards Yi Le's address with his followers.
A figure glanced at Gu Zheng quietly, his eyes rolled, and followed him secretly.
When Gu Zheng was walking on a sparsely populated road, they had already come to another area, and most of the people next to them had become mansions.
"Come out, don't hide, what are you doing following me?" Gu Zheng stopped and shouted to the back.
The two followers looked in the direction of Gu Zheng's perspective, but found that there were no suspicious people except pedestrians. Besides, they had been alert all the time and did not find anyone following them.
But if the immortal said there was, then there must be, but they just didn't find it. The two of them quickly took a defensive posture.
Something that surprised them happened. A sweet little girl flashed out from a wall. Isn't this the little girl who just ate and drank for free? Why did she follow them again?
The two of them looked much more relaxed. No one would be alert to a little girl, especially when she was so cute.
Xiangxiang walked over slowly, looking like someone who was caught doing something bad.
"Why are you following me? If you don't go home, what will your parents do if they come to your house?" Gu Zheng frowned and said. He didn't have time to play with a little girl.
"I know what you are looking for." The little girl scared Gu Zheng as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Then tell me what I am looking for?" Gu Zheng asked deliberately. How could he know his own affairs? You should know that he never leaked a word.
"You are looking for five elements materials. It seems that you want to refine something." Xiangxiang said confidently.
"So you are good at this. As soon as Gu Zheng heard the other party speak, he knew that the other party could actually perform a spell similar to mind reading and that this should be his innate ability, because he did not feel the fluctuation of her magic power.
I should have been able to sense what I was thinking, and then I made a random guess. She was right. Most of the five elements materials were needed for refining equipment, followed by formations, especially the former, which accounted for the majority.
"Wrong, I was just looking for it for my friend. In fact, I don't need it. Go back quickly and don't follow us anymore. Be careful, I will be rude to you." Gu Zheng cast a spell on himself calmly, so that she could no longer sense her thoughts.
Xiangxiang's face wrinkled, because she found that she could not sense the other party's thoughts. She could vaguely hear some before. It seems that the other party has noticed and blocked herself.
Just as cunning as those people, at first she revealed a little bit of her feet, and then she was on guard against herself one by one.
"Hey, don't go, I know where the water-attributed materials are. If you help me with something, I will tell you." Seeing Gu Zheng and the others turned around and left, he hurriedly shouted, but Gu Zheng's footsteps remained unmoved and did not react to his words.
"Wow." Xiangxiang cried in an instant standing on the street. The sound of sadness made the listener cry.
Gu Zheng was really confused when he heard the sad cry. He had to stop and turned to look at Xiangxiang who was wiping tears.
Drops of crystal tears fell from the sky like gems. The little girl, like a porcelain doll, stood on the street and cried helplessly. Even Gu Zheng's followers couldn't bear it.
Why should an immortal make things difficult for a little girl? At most, he could let her follow him and send her home.
The heart-wrenching cry continued, and Gu Zheng looked at her unhappily.
The people around seemed not to notice that there was a little girl crying here, and they were still busy with their own things.
Only Gu Zheng and the other three could hear it, which could be said to be a show of suffering to Gu Zheng.
"Okay, okay, you follow me first, I'll explain first, don't challenge my patience, I'm afraid of myself when I go crazy." Gu Zheng said fiercely.
"Hehe." Xiangxiang's tears were like the weather. The last moment it was cloudy and the fortune was pouring, and the next second it stopped, and the clouds disappeared and the sky cleared.
Her tricks worked every time against people like this, unlike those people who were bad and ignored her.
She ran over and grabbed Gu Zheng's sleeves with her little hands, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
She was smiling and her big eyes were blinking, not as pitiful as before.
"Aren't you a chef? Can you make me something delicious?" Xiangxiang directly and unceremoniously put forward her wish.
"When did I say I was a chef?" Gu Zheng said with a wry smile. He was really not shy. He wanted to make food for her right away.
"You clearly told me in the restaurant that you were a chef." Feeling a claw on his sleeve grabbing her, she didn't think about it and flicked a finger over quickly. Then she looked at Gu Zheng with wide eyes, as if you couldn't cheat.
"That was just me perfunctory. I'm just a gourmet." Gu Zheng didn't expect Xiangxiang to be so serious.
"I don't care, I want to eat, I want to eat." Xiangxiang said coquettishly, thinking that he was deceiving herself. He had said before that he was a cook, and she could feel that he was not satisfied with the food.
He was not a gourmet as he said, but she didn't believe it, because she was also half a gourmet. She just knew that the food was not as delicious as at home, and she really couldn't feel anything else.
"Let's go back first." Gu Zheng said helplessly. If he hadn't been thinking about the water-attributed materials she mentioned, he wouldn't have paid so much attention to her.
Gu Zheng and his men moved forward again, but there was a little burden beside them.
"Sir, after the corner in front, our temporary residence is in front." After walking a short distance, one of the followers pointed to a place in front.
But when they turned a corner, the faces of the two followers changed, because they saw that their door was open, and there was obviously a pool of blood at the door, and a plaque that was broken into several pieces.
A gilded Yi character could be vaguely seen.
Gu Zheng also noticed the abnormality of the two of them. He squinted his eyes and felt the faint smell of blood in the air. It seemed that something unexpected had happened before.
Gu Zheng did not speak, but walked in front and led everyone to enter through the damaged gate.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a mess inside, like a typhoon passing through, with scattered flowers and plants everywhere, and music could only hear some noises coming from the backyard.
Several people hurried over and found that in the wide backyard, two pairs of people were confronting each other, and an open space slipped out in the middle, filling the entire yard.
And in the open space in the middle, two people were fighting back and forth, with swords and shadows, fighting hard.
Their appearance alarmed the people on both sides, one side was led by a middle-aged man, who was looking at Yi Le opposite with a smile on his face, with a strong greed in his eyes.
Regarding the appearance of Gu Zheng and the others, he just turned his head and took a look, then turned away with disdain. A third-level warrior may have some status in other places, but here he is basically useless, just a guard.
Yes, Gu Zheng's aura is actually only third-level, which is easy to be despised. Unless Gu Zheng takes action, no one knows Gu Zheng's true strength. There is no way, this is the seal's fault, and Gu Zheng can't do anything about it.
But when Yile saw Gu Zheng, everyone was ecstatic. They finally waited for him.
A soldier who was waiting for Gu Zheng rushed in and was knocked unconscious by the other side before he could say anything. He has not woken up yet.
We only know that Gu Zheng must have come out of the carriage, but we don’t know other specific information. Whether Gu Zheng left here or was coming to us, everyone was worried.
This time, when they saw Gu Zheng coming, everyone’s heart unconsciously fell to the ground, which made the middle-aged man wonder why this person had appeared, but the other side’s expression was much more relaxed.
He looked at it carefully and found that it was just an ordinary third-level aura. Even if it was a third-level cultivator, it would not change the situation.
He simply stopped looking at him and turned his head to look at the middle, because the victory or defeat of the battlefield in the middle was about to be decided.
"Mr. Gu, you are back." Yile looked at the girl beside him curiously. She was so cute. She had never seen her before. It seemed that Gu Zheng had brought her back. However, she was smart and did not ask more questions.
"What's going on with you? How come the enemy came to your door as soon as you came back?" Gu Zheng stood in the front, watching the other party's eyes looking at him fiercely because of his close contact with Yi Le.
"It's a long story. We have had grievances with them for decades. This time, the other party just came back to seek revenge." Yi Le smiled bitterly. This time they really found a good opportunity.
Gu Zheng knew at a glance that it was another conflict from the ancestors' period, otherwise it would not have lasted for decades. It was probably a battle from the previous generation.
It seems that the other party, the pervert, seems to have taken a fancy to Yi Le, and the other party's development is much stronger than theirs. If Yi Le is still in their original country, they can't reach over even if they are strong.
It's a pity that they have moved their entire family here now, and they are blocked by the other party who is obviously stronger than them. Even the door was knocked down by the other party. It must be that the other party's edge is too strong.
"What are you doing?" Gu Zheng pointed at the battle above in confusion. Perhaps there are also unknown rules here.
Yi Le smiled bitterly and said that because the other party was attracted by her beauty, they gave them a chance. If they could win two out of three competitions, they would not pursue the past.
But if she failed, Yi Le would have to marry the other party, and the whole family would be merged with the other party and become a subordinate family of the other party. It can be said directly that Yi Le's whole family would be called servants of his family.
Yi Le certainly disagreed, but the other party's three cultivators who were similar to her directly broke in, and she had no choice but to agree.
Now they have already won a victory on the scene, and Yi Le went down in person. If they fail this time, the final victory will be decided according to the agreement, but she can't do anything about it.
No wonder they were so happy to see Gu Zheng appear. With him, they basically won't lose this time.
While they were talking, the battle in the middle had already been decided. The other side was jubilant, while this side was obviously a little disappointed. It was obvious that this side had lost.
"Send someone out quickly." The middle-aged man said proudly. When the other party entered the city for the first time, he began to send people to inquire about the other party's news until he was sure that the other party had moved the whole family and that their strength was limited. Only then did he lead the elite of the family to come together.
However, when he saw Yi Le with his own eyes, he changed some of his ideas.
"Mr. Gu." Yi Le looked at Gu Zheng for help, and the pleading in his eyes could not be hidden.
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he handed over a small thing without a sound, and put it in Yi Le's hand. Because Gu Zheng had his back to that side, the other side could not see his movements at all.
"Do you have anyone else? If not, just admit defeat. The two families will become one. Become my concubine, and I will not insult your identity," the middle-aged man laughed, believing that the other party had no other help.
You know, his side is already considered strong in the outer city. Most of the usual people are like Yi Le, with only one master sitting in charge.
But he dared to come to the door openly, he must have his own way, and he couldn't make people protest.
Yi Le felt that there was something extra in her hand. She was shocked at first, and then happy, because she found that it was a small crab in her hand.
"You can use it to fight. Don't worry. There will be no problem against the opponent." Gu Zheng whispered, making sure that no one except Yi Le could hear it, and the crab said it completely by itself, no problem.
At this time, the other party sent a bald man, who was also one of the fifth-level opponents. Yi Le certainly believed in Gu Zheng's judgment.
The middle-aged man only saw a black dot, which was thrown out of Yi Le's hand, and it grew directly in the air. When it landed, it still turned into a crab about three feet high, waving two pairs of huge claws, and constantly making "clicking" sounds.
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he didn't expect that the other party had such a trick. It was a pity that the other party couldn't buy it, otherwise they would not be unaware of such important information.
The people brought by Yi Le certainly understood that they were one. If Yi Le didn't exist, they would not have a good result. More importantly, Gu Zheng gave them the greatest confidence, believing that they would be saved no matter what, even if they lost.
They didn't dare to kill people here openly. Even if they were fighting, they would suppress their combat power to avoid causing additional damage. Countless people proved with their lives that those in the palace were very clear about what was happening in various places.
They also had a very rare battle order, which allowed them to directly come to the door to provoke.
While the middle-aged man was thinking, the battle above had ended. As he expected, the other side won.
In the same level, especially in this kind of large-scale battle, this kind of monster has a great advantage.
"Hmph, let's go." The middle-aged man looked at Yi Le angrily and led their people out.
Yi Le also breathed a sigh of relief. The other party could not come to the door again. At most, they would cause trouble in other aspects. She was not afraid.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Yi Le Yingying bowed.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of convenience." Gu Zheng knew that this woman who cared about the family, no matter how smart she was, was entangled in the secular world and could not be abandoned at all, which meant that all her efforts could only be like this.
Even if she was unwilling, I hope she can realize this step earlier and not expect that glimmer of hope in her heart.
