Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Isn’t She a Little Coward

Qu Yan shifted on her seat with a black face.

Gu Li’s sitting posture was very stable. No one could tell what had changed.

Yu Xiangyang wiped his mouth and apologized.

Gu Sheng shook his head and looked at the potion that Yu Xiangyang spat out. How much was it worth?

The door opened.

Su Huiqing walked out in her usual white shirt and black pants. She handed a packet of medicine to Gu Sheng with a faint smile.

If it was in the past, Gu Sheng would have said a few words to Su Huiqing. However, today, for some reason, he felt that Su Huiqing was a little dangerous. He didn’t dare to say a word and just bowed respectfully with this bag.

He then rushed out.

Seeing that he had left, Yu Xiangyang looked at Gu Li and Qu Yan. “Hey, is that Elder Gu he was talking about the one that we saw in the Su Family at Unknown Island?”

Startled, Gu Li nodded. “I think so.”

It was Qu Yan’s first time seeing Gu Li react like this, and she was also stunned. She glanced at Gu Li again.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Huiqing’s clear and casual voice rang in his ears. “Gu Li, from now on, you are not allowed to be on your own. No matter where you go, you must follow us.”

Although Yu Xiangyang didn’t understand why Su Huiqing said that, he gave an ‘OK’ sign.

Qu Yan nodded.

Gu Li stared blankly at the cards in his hand for a moment before slowly nodding his head.

Gu Li had always been a man of his words. Seeing that he had nodded, Su Huiqing naturally knew that he would not go back on his words. She entered through the door with confidence.

…

In the priest’s room, he threw a tea set with a grim face. “You said those four people were almost inseparable?”

“That’s right.” The guard standing before him bowed, his voice very respectful.

The priest stood there for a while before finally speaking. “Where is Mr. Yu now?”

“Mr. Yu is in his room.”

“I’ll go find him.” The priest took a deep breath and opened the door to find Yu Shijin.

It was obviously impossible for him to quietly get rid of Gu Li now. He had to enter the cave with the other three people. He was not afraid of those three ordinary people, but he was afraid of Yu Shijin.

He heard that Miss Su had a close relationship with Yu Shijin.

When the priest arrived, Yu Shijin was playing chess with Murong Bai.

Murong Bai took the white chess piece and looked at the murderous chessboard. In the end, he helplessly put down the chess piece. “I’ve lost. I’ll stop here today. Someone is looking for you outside.”

He patted his sleeves and left.

The moment the priest entered, he saw Yu Shijin arranging the chess pieces coldly.

“I wonder if Mr. Yu and Miss Su’s Gu Li are friends.” The priest greeted Yu Shijin respectfully.

Yu Shijin finished storing the black pieces. Without even lifting his head, he said coldly, “This place belongs to him.”

“His father violated the family rules back then…” The priest’s expression changed. “Does this mean that Mr. Yu wants to interfere? To be honest, Mr. Yu, we have already formed an alliance with the Gu Family of Unknown Island.”

At this point, he could only use this.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijin just tilted his head slightly and looked at that priest. His voice was very mild. “Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in this matter.”

“You don’t care?” The priest was delighted. “Really?”

Yu Shijin nodded mildly. “I won’t help any one of you.”

“I hope Mr. Yu will keep his word. I thank Mr. Yu!” The priest came out happily.
