Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 142 God owes me a son-in-law

"I heard from Xiaohan that you often go on ghost-killing missions together," Shi Lei said indifferently, "You two should have a good relationship in normal times, right?"

What does Master Shi mean by this?
Are you testing our real relationship?

Gu Xu suddenly regretted that he didn't ask Shi Xiaohan what she wrote to her father in the letter before leaving.

"We are indeed close friends." Gu Xu replied.

"Just friends?" Shi Lei raised his tone slightly.

Gu Xu pondered for a moment.

He knew that, in the absence of "collusion" in advance, it is undoubtedly the best choice to tell the truth - at least, it will not leave a hypocritical impression in Shi Xiaohan's father's heart.

"My lord, your daughter is beautiful, intelligent, and talented. It's hard for a young man like me to work in the same yamen without admiration for her," Gu Xu said, "but I also understand that with my Her background and current situation are not worthy of Miss Shi, so I dare not extravagantly ask for her favor."

Shi Lei sat behind the table and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

I saw that his eyes were clear and his expression was sincere, and he didn't look like he was lying.

So Shi Lei smiled and joked: "Do you think I'm one of those vicious elders in the stories in the story who hate the poor and love the rich, and like to beat mandarin ducks with clubs?
"Actually, in my eyes, your talent and potential are not bad, and you have even surpassed most of the young talents in the Great Qi Dynasty—letting Xiaohan marry you is not an insult to her identity."

In his opinion, it is obviously normal for a poor boy to feel inferior when he meets a rich daughter.

Maybe it's because I usually see a lot of supercilious and pretentious wealthy children—Gu Xu's performance at this time, coupled with the dazzling aura on him, makes Shi Lei feel very fresh, even a little cute.

"Of course not." After hearing this, Gu Xu shook his head immediately, and then explained, "Master Shi, with your cultivation, you should be able to tell that I am born with deficiencies and bones—if I can't be born at the age of 30 If you cultivate to the seventh level before, shed your mortal womb and reshape your body, you will die early.

"Because the hope of becoming a saint before the age of 30 is too slim, I don't want to delay Miss Shi.

"I must seize the rest of my life and practice with all my strength to achieve this goal."

Gu Xu's tone of voice was very flat, without any waves, as if he was talking about a small daily matter like eating and sleeping.

But when it fell into Shi Lei's ears, it was like hearing thunder.

"Congenital deficiencies, fundamental defects..."

"Become a saint before the age of 30..."

"Will die young..."

Shi Lei never expected that this young man with both talent and beauty and a bright future has been living under the shadow of death!

And under this terrifying pressure, he was able to behave so calmly—not only stated a goal like an Arabian Nights in an understatement, but also worked hard for this goal unswervingly!

"If it were someone else of the same age, when they encountered such a terrible thing, they would have already collapsed and their fighting spirit would have collapsed..." Shi Lei sighed silently in his heart.

"Can I have a look?" After a moment of silence, he asked Gu Xu.

"No problem, my lord." Gu Xu replied.

Afterwards, Shi Lei released a ray of true energy, causing it to pass through Gu Xu's skin and flesh, penetrate into his meridian, and swim around in his body.

Gu Xu didn't stop him either.

Because he knew that as long as he carried the "Shenji Token" on his body, the chief executive could know his current situation through the Tianji technique at all times-and Shi Lei obviously knew this very well, so it was impossible to make a decision. things that hurt him.

As for things like fate, only a high-level practitioner who is proficient in the technique of heavenly secrets like Mr. Si can see it at a glance.

A few minutes later, Shi Lei withdrew his true energy, sighed softly and said, "That's true."

At this moment, Shi Lei felt very regretful.

If we say that before that, when he heard about Gu Xu's amazing cultivation qualifications and deeds, he was only a little surprised, and didn't take him too seriously.

So now, after learning that Gu Xu has been practicing persistently under the shadow of death, deep in his heart he even has a little admiration for Gu Xu.

After all, talent is something that is rewarded by God, and it depends on luck.

But Gu Xu's composure in the face of desperation, as well as a sense of responsibility, in Shi Lei's view, are the most rare.

"God, God, you have to pay me a son-in-law..."

Thinking of this, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This young man needs to be qualified, has good looks, and has a bright future.

And that girl Shi Xiaohan seemed to have a crush on him too.

Unfortunately, he was short-lived.

This is simply God's jealousy.

At the same time, the gloomy expression on his face gradually eased.

In the eyes he looked at Gu Xu, there was a little more appreciation and a little more regret.

"Also, Gu Xu," Shi Lei thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Your companions in the 'Shenji Camp' reserve team—Shangguan Jin, His Highness the Fourth Prince, and Chen Yanping, the young master of the Chen family in Xiangyang, all I really want to meet you. If it is convenient for you, you can find an opportunity to meet them."

Shangguan Jin?Fourth prince?Young master of the Chen family?

It turns out that the group of people in the "Shenji Camp" are all so prominent in their real identities?

But why do these people want to see me?
Is it because I became the owner of "Jinghong Pen"?

Or is it because they were beaten by me in the "Land of Discourse on Dao" and want to regain their place in reality?

Gu Xu was suddenly curious.

At the same time, he secretly guessed in his heart——

Could that guy with the codename "Linghu" be the chief's confidant, Shangguan Jin Langzhong?

After all, she has mastered the "Meteor Walking the Moon" movement technique created by Mr. Sishou.

Also, the guy named "Kirin" who controls the "Tianlong Domain", could it be His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?

It's just that this person is calling "good brother" coquettishly all day long in "The Realm of Discussion of Dao"...

Although there are voice-changing spells in this world, it is too embarrassing for a prince to do this kind of thing... So "Kirin" may also be one of his good sisters.

……

"Thank you Master Shi for letting me know!" Gu Xu thanked Shi Lei.

Afterwards, he left the yamen and walked towards the inn where the "Shenji Camp" arranged to stay overnight.

The moment he walked out the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it really was the right choice.

…………

Shi Lei sat on the chair, watched Gu Xu's back go away silently, and couldn't help but sighed again.

He hesitated for a long time, took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, and wrote seriously on it:

"Xiaohan:
"Your colleague Gu Xu is a very good person, please help him more in the future!"
