Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 361 Farewell
  Gu Xun's left hand resting on his right arm gently tapped his arm, and then released it. He first pointed at Donghuang Taiyi, then pointed at himself, and asked with a smile and interest:

"You...invited me...to join the Yin Yang family?"

"That's right." Donghuang Taiyi affirmed, his voice mixed with the feeling of ethereal nothingness as always.

Gu Xun did not rush to give an answer. He looked at the dark patch on Donghuang Taiyi's face with a smile, which was more like a black cloth covering than a mask, and asked without any concealment:
  "Why did you invite me to join the Yin Yang family? To help you realize your ambitions, such as...um...Canglong Qisu?"

"It seems that you do know a lot of secrets that you shouldn't know." Donghuang Taiyi was not moved when someone exposed the ultimate goal he had pursued for many years, and his voice remained calm.

Of course, you may be moved, but others won't see it.

"Huh!" Gu Xun snorted, not commenting on Donghuang Taiyi's words, but just used his eyes to signal the other party to answer his question.

Donghuang Taiyi didn't care, his figure remained motionless, and he said slowly:

"You don't need to do anything to join the Yin Yang Family."

"Then what's in it for you?" Gu Xun asked curiously.

"It's enough if you don't do anything." Donghuang Taiyi did not hide anything and confessed his purpose. "Your appearance is an accident that should not exist. It is an anomaly. I don't want the anomaly to turn into a variable."

Donghuang Taiyi's meaning, simply put, is to ask Gu Xunbie to influence his plans and not to interfere with his plans for Canglong Qisu.

For him, this may be the best solution in the face of Gu Xun, who is difficult to deal with, unpredictable, and very likely to destroy his many years of planning.

Gu Xun nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant, but still did not express his position and continued to ask:

"Then what's in it for me?"

"Other than that, everything in the Yin Yang family." Donghuang Taiyi did not try to do any bargaining. He was very consistent with his mysterious temperament and went all-in. He pressed on everything he could, trying to persuade Gu Xun to recruit An. way to eliminate this unstable factor.

Gu Xun's eyelids twitched, and he replied with a hint of admiration, "Headmaster Donghuang is so grand!"

"But..." He then changed his words and asked, "Did you obtain the consent of your elders, protectors, and other powerful people for this decision?"

"Ha!" Donghuang Taiyi didn't answer, just snorted softly, as if he was laughing, but he didn't seem to, and the meaning was unclear.

But the meaning is very clear - their opinions are not important, I am the leader of the Yin Yang family and I am the one who makes the decision!
  Seeing this, Gu Xun curled his lips and smiled, "You invited me to join the Yin Yang Family, but do you still have any vacant high-level positions within the family?"

"I think... you don't need an empty title to show your status."

"Ha... It's my business whether you need it or not, and it's your business whether you have it or not." Gu Xun did not accept Donghuang Taiyi's statement.

This kind of thing is like E-Bao giving away games. I don’t have to play it, but I can’t live without it.

"...The position of Star Soul is still vacant. Of course, if you want, I can promise Dongjun to you, and you can take over the position of deputy head."

Donghuang Taiyi also spent a lot of money and really wanted to win over Gu Xun at all costs.

After Gu Xun got such an answer, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance back, as if looking at Concubine Yan outside, then turned around and asked the last question:
  "This is the only reason why you came to me today?"

"Yes."

"Very good." Gu Xun nodded, showed a bright smile, and finally gave his answer, "Goodbye!"

After rejecting Donghuang Taiyi, Gu Xun turned around and left.

"Do you also want to get Canglong Qisu?" Donghuang Taiyi still stopped where he was, not moving at all, and just asked softly.

Gu Xun paused, turned his back to him and replied:

"No, I'm not very interested in that thing. Of course, if you really find it, you might as well tell me what it is."

After saying that, Gu Xun continued to walk towards the door and left leisurely. Donghuang Taiyi didn't say another word, he just raised his head and observed the illusory starry sky above the dome.

After leaving the Star Observation Hall, Gu Xun found that Concubine Yan was still guarding the door and did not leave.

"Hey, why are you still here looking at the door?"

"Lord Donghuang didn't ask me to leave." Concubine Yan automatically ignored Gu Xun's sinister tone, treated it as a normal question, and answered.

"Ha..." Gu Xun smiled and shook his head.

I feel that Dongjun will not have the thieves like Xinghun and others in the future. They all treat Donghuang Taiyi not only in disguise but also in their own minds. However, Concubine Yan is stupidly a little overly loyal. Well...probably still. Young, after all, he has just passed the age of twenty-eight.

too young too simple.

Gu Xun wanted to raise his hand and pat the young man on the shoulder, but halfway through moving his hand, he remembered that the other person was a woman, so he dropped it again and said goodbye:

"Then you just watch, I'm leaving."

Before leaving, Gu Xun took the opportunity to promote business for the medical clinic, "If you have any headache or fever, or if your friends or relatives are unwell, you can come to Tianhe Medical Clinic. For the sake of being an acquaintance, I will give you a discount."

Concubine Yan looked at Gu Xun's leaving figure without saying a word, with no emotion on her beautiful face.

Before a moment passed, Donghuang Taiyi's voice reached Concubine Yan's ears.

"Dongjun, please come in."

Concubine Yan didn't think anything of it, pushed open the door, and walked into the starry sky hall that she had been in and out of many times.

"Lord Donghuang." Approaching Donghuang Taiyi, Concubine Yan bowed slightly and asked, "What are your orders?"

"Get close to Gu Xun and gain his trust." Donghuang Taiyi ordered calmly, still looking up at the false starry sky.

Obviously, directly wooing him would not work. He planned to use Gu Xun's biggest weakness as a honey trap.

From his attitude just now, Donghuang Taiyi can tell that the other person is not a person who simply pursues lust, and feelings are his real concern, so... give him a feeling and restrain him.

Although Donghuang Taiyi's words were not very explicit, the meaning was still very clear. Concubine Yan understood as soon as she heard it that she wanted to seduce Gu Xun.

Of course, the specific implementation is definitely not so straightforward, after all, it is completely inconsistent with her usual personality.

"..." After a moment of silence, Concubine Yan's eyes flashed with complexity, and her body trembled slightly. In the end, she did not say any words of rejection... In the Yin Yang family, no one in the Yin Yang family has the right to refuse when facing Donghuang Taiyi. Including her, the deputy head Dongjun.

"My concubine understands."

"Well, you go down and call Da Siming." Donghuang Taiyi did not care about Dongjun's reaction and continued to give instructions calmly.

"Yes." Concubine Yan bowed again, turned around and left.
