Chapter 4 Dragon Shadow Guard Shock
Chapter 4 Dragon Shadow Guard Shock
"Aunt Wang, you've misunderstood. I don't know him."
Su Qianxue blushed and tried her best to explain.
"Oh dear, Qianxue, you're blushing. You still say you don't know me."
"If you really don't know him, then I'll have to introduce my daughter to this handsome guy."
"She'll definitely like it."
"If you manage to steal it from me, you'll be crying then."
With everyone chiming in, Su Qianxue quickly pulled Gu Lingchen away and fled.
Following Su Qianxue all the way, Gu Lingchen's attire and the unique aura of a cultivator attracted the attention of countless passersby, almost causing traffic to be paralyzed when crossing a traffic light.
As he walked along the roadside, several girls mustered up the courage to approach Gu Lingchen and take photos with him, hoping to get his contact information.
There were even media companies that wanted to sign Gu Lingchen on the spot.
After walking for twenty minutes, Gu Lingchen told Su Qianxue about his identity and their past.
Standing near the entrance of the Sichuan restaurant where Su Qianxue worked part-time, Su Qianxue stopped and looked at Gu Lingchen speechlessly, asking:
"So, your name is Gu Lingchen, and you lived during the Shang and Zhou dynasties three thousand years ago?"
"Is he a cultivator?"
"And I am your Daoist partner; we have been together for over a thousand years."
"Later, I perished because I shielded you from the enemy during your tribulation."
"My death disheartened you, so you buried yourself somewhere and slept for three thousand years until today when you were dug up."
"In my previous life, I was also named Su Qianxue. I was your Daoist partner in reincarnation."
"Pfft, hahaha..."
"Gu Lingchen, it's such a waste that you're not a short drama writer."
"If I weren't about to graduate from university and I didn't enjoy watching short dramas, I almost would have believed it."
"Is this one of your usual tactics for pursuing girls?"
"Whether others believe it or not, I certainly don't."
"This is where I do my part-time job. You'd better leave now; this trick won't work on me."
"Qianxue is here! Hurry, we have three tables reserved for this afternoon."
"Go help out in the kitchen. It'll be a bit tough today, but I'll pay you when we're done."
"Who is this young man? Is he your boyfriend?"
"Why didn't you invite him inside?"
A middle-aged man wearing an apron, busy at the entrance of the Sichuan restaurant, greeted Su Qianxue warmly when he saw her.
"Uncle Yang, you've misunderstood. He... is my friend."
"I'll go right away."
"You should go now, I have to get back to work."
Before leaving, Su Qianxue reminded Gu Lingchen one last time.
He then ran into the Sichuan restaurant, skillfully changed into his work clothes and put on an apron, and started working.
She did almost everything: wiping tables, washing vegetables, washing dishes.
This Sichuan restaurant isn't big. The owner, surnamed Yang, and his wife and children rely on this restaurant to make a living because he's honest and his dishes are authentic.
The Sichuan restaurant earns enough each month to support their family of three.
Sometimes they are even too busy to keep up.
After finishing his work, Boss Yang walked out the door and saw that Gu Lingchen was still there.
Curious, he lit a cigarette and stepped forward to ask, "Young man, do you like Qianxue?"
"This child has a hard life."
"My mother earns money by doing handicrafts for others. My father is a heartless man who has other women and children outside and doesn't care about my mother and daughter at all."
"But Qianxue is a promising child. She not only got into Jiangzhou University, but also won a scholarship, which greatly reduced the pressure on her mother."
"They also come to help me almost every day."
"I told her to find a boyfriend soon so someone can take care of her, but she said her Mr. Right hasn't appeared yet. What kind of talk is that?"
Watching Su Qianxue's busy figure inside, Gu Lingchen's lips curled up slightly as he replied, "I am her destined love."
"Regardless of past or present lives, it is."
"Hahaha, young man, you're really funny."
"Cultured people speak differently."
"Young man, come inside and sit down. Look, you've only been standing here for a short while, and so many people have already gathered around you."
As evening approached, the Sichuan restaurant was already packed with people.
Gu Lingchen sat motionless at the table in the corner for hours, like a wax figure.
Watching Su Qianxue's busy figure, countless memories surfaced in his mind.
Su Qianxue would glance at Gu Lingchen from time to time. What puzzled her most was that there were still people who could sit for hours without playing on their phones.
Young people who never used to go into this old Sichuan restaurant all came in, not to eat, but to see Gu Lingchen sitting in the corner.
"So handsome, so handsome! Look at him, his hair looks so real."
"I feel like he's some kind of celebrity, right?"
"Is this angle okay? We need to be in the shot together."
"I'm going to post this on WeChat Moments later, and make all my girlfriends so jealous..."
The tables around Gu Lingchen were already filled with young women, and even outside there were people queuing up.
Mr. Yang felt that his Sichuan restaurant had never been this successful since it opened.
After glancing at Gu Lingchen, he laughed and said, "No wonder those big brands hire celebrities to endorse their products."
"Hey handsome, can I get your contact information?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't."
Another girl mustered up the courage to ask Gu Lingchen for his contact information, but Gu Lingchen's answer was always the same.
But the more aloof he became, the more it fueled the fighting spirit of these young women, who took countless photos of Gu Lingchen and tried to find out about him online.
Su Qianxue, who was busy running around in the Sichuan restaurant, still had a strange feeling when she saw so many pretty girls coming for Gu Lingchen.
There was always a voice in her heart telling her, what if what Gu Lingchen said was true?
But isn't this just too outrageous?
....
A training room at the headquarters of the Longyingwei Military Region of Yanjing.
"Chu Yue, is this the person you were talking about?"
"Are you sure he's at least at the Celestial Realm level?"
"Haven't you found any information about him yet?"
Looking at the photo in his hand, Ye Tian, the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard, had a solemn expression.
The other members of the Dragon Shadow Guard also looked at the photos on Chu Yue's phone with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Although there are no immortal cultivators in the world now, there is still a group of powerful ancient martial arts practitioners among humans.
The entry level is Martial Apprentice, followed by Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grandmaster, Innate Grandmaster, and Ultimate Grandmaster.
Only after that can one reach the legendary realm of celestial beings and the mortal world.
As for those above the Celestial Realm, they are all beings like terrestrial immortals.
It is rumored that powerful individuals at the Divine Martial Realm, above the Celestial Realm, are capable of determining the outcome of a modern war.
This is also why Gu Lingchen's appearance could cause such a stir among the Dragon Shadow Guards.
To join the Dragon Shadow Guard of China, the Grandmaster realm is merely the threshold. For example, Zhang Daqiang, who attacked Gu Lingchen before, was only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Chu Yue was able to become a squad leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard because her strength had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster level.
The reason Zhang Daqiang hasn't been able to join the Dragon Shadow Guard is because he's too old.
Dragon Shadow Guard only recruits the nation's top geniuses and strongest individuals.
Therefore, the Dragon Shadow Guard has always been the sharpest sword in China.
