The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 385 I, Gu You, am moody

The City Lord's Mansion in Seaside City is a special space that is more like private land than the office area of ​​the city lord.

The specific reasons are quite complicated. On the one hand, it involves the historical culture and humanistic background of the coastal city. If you don't know enough about the story behind it, it is difficult to make a correct judgment.

On the other hand, it is relatively simple. Any ordinary human being with normal intelligence and good eyesight can come to the conclusion after thinking for one third of a second.

Now Gu You and the other two are both the former and the latter.

Because what appeared before them was a majestic castle standing on the edge of a cliff.

The castle is built of light grey stones, and the years have carved countless fine and complex patterns on its surface. The two heavy iron doors groan in the strong sea breeze, as if telling of the long time they have experienced.

Ma Hongjun had never seen such a grand occasion. In his early twelve years of life, the most magnificent building he had ever seen was the city wall of the Tiandou Empire.

This is just a small part.

At that time, I was still suffering from the evil fire, which made it impossible for me to calm down and appreciate it.

So, when he saw the castle belonging to the Qi family for the first time, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Wow."

Hearing the noise behind him, Gu You immediately turned around and slapped Ma Hongjun on the head.

"it hurts!"

Ma Hongjun was hammered to the ground, and it was obvious that he was really strong this time. He said in a tone of regret: "Wow, you dead head, don't embarrass yourself, idiot."

"We are His Majesty's envoys. Don't let the country bumpkins think that..."

At this moment, the tightly closed door slowly opened from the middle, and Gu You immediately closed his mouth.

Qi Xiaofeng, who had been waiting for a long time under the scorching sun, took the initiative to greet the three people with his son Qi Tao, who looked elegant, and his younger brother Qi Langhai, who didn't want to come at all.

"Hahaha, what wind is blowing today that actually brought your Highness's envoy here?"

"."

Seeing Gu You's slight resistance, Qi Xiaofeng immediately paused and stopped three steps in front of Gu You. He put his right hand on his chest, put his left hand behind his back, bowed slightly, and introduced himself seriously: "Hello, envoy. I am the current lord of Haibin City, Qi Xiaofeng."

In order not to offend the Crown Prince, Qi Xiaofeng was very smart not to mention the Qi family. Then he slightly turned sideways and introduced: "This is my younger brother Qi Langhai."

When they met for the second time, Qi Langhai nodded to the three of them with a flattering look on his face.

"This is my son Qi Tao."

Qi Tao had a calm smile on his face and bowed to the three people, saying, "I am Qi Tao, nice to meet you three adults."

When he raised his head, Gu You finally had the opportunity to carefully observe the new annotation of "Dandy".

He looks somewhat similar to Qi Xiaofeng, but his eyes are slightly smaller. Plus, he's younger, so he's a handsome guy that makes people like him at first sight.

The premise is to ignore the faint dark circles under the eyes and the slightly pale face.

'Kidney deficiency?'

Trouble comes from the mouth, Gu You certainly wouldn't say that. As a personal trainee who has been training in the Holy Spirit Village for about two and a half years, he has implemented his character very well.

Gu You casually threw the token to Qi Xiaofeng and said calmly: "Gu You, captain of the Royal Fighting Team. The two behind are Ma Hongjun and Oscar, from the second team."

These short twenty-four words revealed so much information that Qi Xiaofeng was completely stunned.

First of all, isn’t the captain of the Royal Fighting Team the designated heir of the Dragon Snake Family? When did he become a muscular man?
Secondly, the three members of the Royal Fighting Team and the Second Team are all under the age of twenty?

Finally, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team held the token of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had complete control over the Tiandou Royal Academy?
Qi Xiaofeng was speechless due to too many questions, and Gu You was happy with it. He looked around and commented in a condescending tone: "The castle is okay, but the materials used are too rubbish. It's simply too old-fashioned."

"If this is all your taste, I think His Royal Highness may have made a mistake because he was too busy."

Objectively speaking, the Qi family's castle is first-rate. It is made of fine granite and hand-carved by a forging master from Gengxin City. It has withstood many years of wind and rain to become what it is today, and it can be considered strong and durable.

However, Gu You is now a noble noble of Tiandou City and has the supreme right to look down on other nobles who are not from Tiandou City.

In the Tiandou Empire, the nobles of Tiandou City say garbage is garbage.

Qi Langhai was shocked and was about to explain, but he heard Qi Xiaofeng say first: "Master Gu, you don't know."

"Oh? Please elaborate."

"Although the taxes paid by Seaside City are high every year, the interior is already riddled with holes despite its glamorous appearance."

From infrastructure to defense, to the ports and fishing boats destroyed by several storms and tsunamis last year, in his words, this largest coastal city in the southern part of the empire was simply a broken house with leaks everywhere.

When he talked about the touching parts, he even shed tears, which moved others.

Listening to his elder brother talking endlessly about the various shortcomings of Haibin City, Qi Langhai's eyes gradually widened.

"what?"

If Qi Langhai was not a native of Haibin City, he would probably have donated money out of his own pocket to rebuild it.

Gu You suddenly realized: "So that's it."

"You actually believed it?!"

Qi Langhai was shocked and began to suspect that the person who came today was the twin brother of the person from yesterday.

Otherwise, why was I treated like a dog yesterday and then being treated like a dog by my own eldest brother today?

If Qi Xiaofeng had the ability to read minds at this moment, he would probably learn from Gu You's beating of Ma Hongjun and give Qi Langhai a hard hit on the head, and call him an idiot.

As if he didn't want to be exposed to the sun, or as if he was tired of listening, Gu You put on a compassionate image that could be seen through at a glance, waved his hand and said: "I understand your difficulties, take me in first."

"Yes, Master Gu, please come in."

The moving words disappeared in an instant. Qi Xiaofeng turned around and kicked the real butler away. He consciously took on the role of butler and introduced his own castle to the guests one by one.

Walking into the castle, the interior is different from the exterior. Gold ornaments can be seen everywhere as if they were free of charge, and exquisite weapons that can only be forged by an eighth-level blacksmith are hung on the wall, allowing guests to take them down and play with them.

Gu You ignored this and walked for a long distance before stopping to look at a portrait on the wall.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaofeng pointed to the portrait on the wall and introduced: "This is the first generation patriarch of the Qi family, named Qi Bing. According to the will of the late emperor, Patriarch Qi Bing built a coastal city here to guard the southern part of the empire."

"It doesn't look like you."

"A lot of people say that."

Qi Xiaofeng shrugged and walked forward ten steps. Noticing the second portrait on the wall, Oscar asked, "Is this the second head of the Qi family?"

Seeing that Gu You did not speak to stop him, Qi Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Sir Ao, that's not the case. This is Qi Potian, the eighth patriarch of the Qi family."

"He tried his best and successfully defeated the 200-meter-high tsunami that could have destroyed the coastal city."

"To commemorate him and to remind the family to always protect Seaside City like he did, we hung his portrait next to the first head of the family."

"Not bad." Gu You nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Which generation of the Qi family's head are you?"

Qi Xiaofeng replied: "The nineteenth." "I look forward to your leadership, and you, Qi Xiaofeng, will be the third portrait hanging on the wall."

Qi Xiaofeng lowered his head suddenly and said in an excited tone: "Yes, our Qi family will live up to the expectations of His Highness and the adults."

"very good."

Patting Qi Xiaofeng on the shoulder, Gu You continued to walk forward. While no one could see his face, Qi Xiaofeng lowered his head and showed a rather strange smile.

Live up to your highness's expectations?
You should live up to your own expectations.

Qi Xiaofeng really wanted to laugh out loud.

The fellow in front of him who has the same name as "Master Guyou" seems to be quite stupid. He probably got the token by being loyal to Xue Qinghe.

Because as long as he is given a way out, no matter how bad the situation is, he will be willing to do so.

In Qi Xiaofeng's opinion, Gu You was no different from the nobles of Tiandou City that he had entertained before. Lustful and arrogant, if he was also greedy for money, he would be the most typical noble of Tiandou City, or even worse.

Great, it happens to be his favorite "smart" person. Only with such a person can he feel at ease to replace his position in front of His Highness in the future.

Before I gain the Crown Prince... no, before I gain His Majesty's trust, I must continue to be patient and treat him well.

It’s okay to kneel down and be a dog now, but in the end you just need to stand as a human.

Under Qi Xiaofeng's guidance, the three of them came to the reception room. As soon as the door was closed, Gu You sat on the main seat and held out his hand arrogantly: "Bring it here."

It’s good to have money, it’s good to have money.

Qi Xiaofeng was very satisfied with Gu You's understanding. He gave a look to Qi Langhai who was standing behind him, and watched him hurriedly take out a ring-shaped soul guide from his arms and hand it to him.

"Master Gu, this is our "heartfelt gift"."

Taking the soul guide, Gu You used his mental power to scan inside and said with a smile: "Twenty?"

Qi Langhai gave a thumbs up: "Your Excellency has good eyesight."

"Yes, I'm interested."

Gu You casually put the ring into his arms, and Qi Langhai took out two martial arts cards, and stuffed them into Ma Hongjun and Oscar's hands respectively with a flattering smile.

"It's just a small token of my respect, I hope you two will accept it."

It felt a bit disgusting to call a kid who was not even half his age "adult", but there was nothing he could do since his big brother had said so, so he had to follow suit.

Looking at the bright side, when his eldest brother goes to Tiandou City to expand the territory, won't Haibin City belong to him, Qi Langhai?

Thinking of this, Qi Langhai became full of motivation, and the flattering smile on his face became more genuine.

After the three of them accepted the gift from the Qi family, both sides seemed very satisfied and skipped the greetings and went straight to the flattery stage.

It was almost lunch time. Seeing that Gu You was still not getting to the point, Qi Xiaofeng could not help but take the initiative to ask, "May I ask the three adults why we are here this time?"

As if waking up from a dream, Gu You asked in surprise: "Didn't I say that?"

Qi Xiaofeng shook his head, and Gu You said easily: "I want to know the whereabouts of Zhan Long and Miserable Claw Dragon."

"???" x3
The three big brothers of the Qi family looked at each other, and finally, under the pressure of their eldest brother's eyes, Qi Langhai swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Master Gu, you are looking for them for..."

"I just reached level 40 a while ago, and I plan to use them as my fourth spirit ring."

"Fourth soul ring?!"

Qi Langhai was surprised. A four-ringed soul master who was less than 20 years old. Given time, he would at least be a soul saint with a martial soul avatar.

If you work hard in your daily life, getting promoted is not a dream.

Qi Tao widened his eyes, also surprised by Gu You's choice.

It has been nearly five years since he was promoted to Soul King. He has never practiced seriously and never imagined that there would be such a talented person seeking death in the world.

'It's going to happen.'

Qi Xiaofeng was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade them, fearing that the Tiandou celebrity with whom he had finally established a relationship would suddenly die on the Fiery Islands.

It doesn't matter if he dies suddenly, just introduce him to Xue Qinghe first and then die suddenly.

Seeing Gu You's firm attitude like a rock under a cliff, Qi Xiaofeng was numb. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, tomorrow I and my son will lead the team personally, I guarantee it will be OK."

"No need." Gu You raised his hand and refused: "Teacher Qin Ming is leading the team himself, there is no need for you to give orders."

He strongly demanded that the Qi family prepare the boat tomorrow and put the collected information about the Dragon-Slaying and Dragon-Clawed Dragons in the Sailor's House for him to pick up tonight. Gu You didn't even eat and took his people away directly, without giving the Qi family any face at all.

"Misstep."

Facing a table full of delicious food, Qi Xiaofeng rubbed his brows with a hint of regret.

Judging from his appearance, I thought Gu You was just an ordinary confidant who was casually replaced, but I didn’t expect that he was actually a talented soul master from the Royal Fighting Team.

With the potential that the Qi family has accumulated so far, it cannot shake the position of "future title" in Xue Qinghe's heart for the time being.

All the original measures were invalidated, and the idea of ​​replacing them must be put aside. Next, we should focus on winning over Gu You. At worst, we cannot become enemies with him.

Once the relationship breaks out, the killing must be done. If the "future title" is killed, Xue Qinghe will definitely send a large army to attack.

Besides, killing him might not work. He had also heard of Qin Ming's nickname of the second youngest Soul Emperor in history. Unless he did it himself, no one could guarantee that Qin Ming would be spared.

A similar story of spending a fortune on horse bones also exists in Douluo Continent. In the past, when the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wanted Yu Xiaogang, they had this idea in mind to some extent.

However, Qi Xiaofeng was the only one in the room who was worried that his malicious intentions would be discovered by Gu You. Qi Langhai and Qi Tao both said they didn't care.

"Dad, those women."

Qi Xiaofeng was helpless in front of his beloved only son. He sighed and said, "It's up to you to do with him. Remember to send him back when you're done."

"understood."

After Qi Tao ran out of the room happily, Qi Langhai suggested: "Should we send someone to follow him?"

After saying this, he raised his palm like a knife and wiped it across his neck. His meaning was obvious.

"No need." Qi Xiaofeng felt a headache. "I'll leave the information and the ship to you. I'll think about whether there is a way to remedy the situation."

Just when Qi Xiaofeng was having a headache, Oscar walked out of the castle and said proudly: "How about my acting skills?"

"Great." Gu You gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, your acting skills are really strong."

Compared with the wooden Ma Hongjun, Oscar, who was very good at dealing with people, was very useful. The two of them sang in unison and fooled around with the time.

After laughing, Gu You announced: "Let's go find Teacher Qin Ming first, and tomorrow morning we will set out to hunt souls."

"Yes!" x2
-------------

ps: Gu You's disguise was that of a high-minded and moody Tiandou noble, which just fits the stereotype in Qi Xiaofeng's mind. Coupled with the token in his hand, Ma Hongjun didn't suspect the flaw that was accidentally revealed.

Life is like a play. Qi Xiaofeng plays the loyal minister, so why can’t we, Gu You, play the villain?
