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 lightly, "You two should have a pretty good relationship!"
What does Mr. Shi mean by this?
Are you testing our true relationship?
Gu Xu suddenly regretted not asking Shi Xiaohan what she had written to her father in the letter before departure.
"We are indeed good friends." Gu Xu replied.
"Just friends?" Shi Lei raised his tone slightly.
Gu Xu pondered for a moment.
He knew that without "collusion" in advance, telling the truth openly was undoubtedly the best choice - at least, it would not leave an impression of hypocrisy in the mind of Shi Xiaohan's father.
"Master Shi, she is beautiful, smart, and talented. For a young person like me, working in the same yamen with her, it is difficult not to admire her," Gu Xu said, "But I I also understand that with my background and current situation, I am not worthy of Miss Shi, so I dare not ask for her favor.”
Shi Lei sat behind the desk and looked at the young man in front of him carefully.
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 am one of those vicious elders in the story who dislike the poor and love the rich and like to beat up mandarin ducks?
"Actually, In my eyes, your talent and potential are not bad, and have even surpassed most of the young talents in the Daqi Dynasty - letting Xiaohan marry you is not an insult to her status. ”
In his opinion, it is obviously normal for a poor boy to feel a little inferior when he meets a rich girl.
Perhaps it was because he had seen so many arrogant and pretentious wealthy children - Gu Xu's performance at this time, coupled with his dazzling halo, made Shi Lei feel fresh and even a little cute.
“Of course not,” after hearing this, Gu Xu immediately shook his head, and then explained, “Master Shi, with your cultivation level, you should be able to see that I am born with deficiencies and have flaws in my bones— -If you cannot reach the seventh level before turning thirty, shed your mortal body and reshape your body, you will die early.
“Because the hope of becoming a saint before the age of thirty is too slim, so I will. 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 calm, without any waves, as if he was speaking Talk about a small everyday thing like eating or sleeping.
But when it fell into Shi Lei's ears, he was shocked as if he heard it.
“Congenitally deficient, defective bones...”
“Become a saint before the age of thirty...”
“Will die young...”
Shi Lei never expected that this young man with both talent and appearance and a promising future would live under the shadow of death!
And under this terrible pressure, he was able to behave so calmly - not only did he talk about a fantasy goal in an understatement, but he also worked tirelessly towards this goal!
"If it were other people of the same age, when they encountered such a terrible thing, I am afraid that their spirits would have 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, sir." Gu Xu replied.
Subsequently, Shi Lei released a ray of true energy, which penetrated Gu Xu's skin and flesh, penetrated into his meridians, and traveled around in his body.
Gu Xu didn't stop him either.
Because he knows that as long as he carries the "Divine Machine Token" with him, the Chief of Staff can always understand his current situation through Tianji Technique - and Shi Lei obviously knows this very well. , so it is impossible to do anything to harm him.
As for things like destiny, only high-level practitioners like Master Sishou who are proficient in the art of heaven can see it at a glance.
A few minutes later, Shi Lei took back his true energy and sighed softly: "That's true."
At this moment, Shi Lei felt very sorry.
If before this, when he heard about Gu Xu's amazing cultivation qualifications and deeds, he was only slightly surprised and did not look at him in a particularly special light.
Now, after learning that Gu Xu has been practicing persistently under the shadow of death, he even has some admiration for Gu Xu deep in his heart.
Talent is something that ultimately comes from God and depends on luck. But Gu Xu's calmness and sense of responsibility in the face of desperate situations are the most rare things in Shi Lei's opinion.
"Oh God, God, you have to compensate me with a son-in-law..."
Thinking of this, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This young man must have qualifications, good looks, and a promising future.
And that girl Shi Xiaohan seemed to have a crush on him too.
It is a pity that he was short-lived.
This is simply jealous of Yingcai.
At the same time, the gloomy expression on his face gradually softened.
In the way he looked at Gu Xu, there was a little more appreciation and a little more regret.
"And, Gu Xu," Shi Lei thought for a few seconds, then said, "your companions in the reserve of the 'Shenji Camp' - Langzhong Shangguan Jin, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and Xiangyang Chen The young master Chen Yanping wants to know you. If it is convenient for you, you can find an opportunity to meet them. "
Shangguan Jin? The fourth prince? Young master of the Chen family?
It turns out that the real identities of the people in the "Shenji Camp" are so prominent?
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 "Realm of Taoism" and want to regain their place in reality?
Gu Xu was suddenly curious.
At the same time, he secretly guessed——
Could the guy whose codename is "Linghu" be Shangguan Jinlangzhong, the chief's confidant?
After all, she mastered the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique created by the Chief Secretary.
Also, could the guy named "Qilin" who controls the "Dragon Domain" be the Fourth Prince?
It’s just that this person keeps calling “good brother” in the “Realm of Taoism” all day long...
Although there is a spell to change the voice in this world, a prince does this The thing is too embarrassing... So "Qilin" might also be one of his good sisters.
...
"Thank you, Master Shi, for letting me know!" Gu Xu thanked Shi Lei.
Then he left the Yamen and walked towards the inn where the "Shenji Camp" arranged to stay.
The moment he walked out of the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Being honest is indeed the right choice.
.........
Shi Lei sat on the chair, silently watching Gu Xu's back go away, and couldn't help but sigh 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. Excellent man, please help him more in the future! ”
