Barrier of Light

"Swiss, swiss, swish."

The train drove smoothly in the void, and the cold arc of electricity was reflected outside the window.

Chu Ling sat in the carriage and waited for a long time. The spiritually connected world suddenly became quiet. A certain talkative person who was originally very shameless became quiet inexplicably.

In a dark alley, there is a remote corner that is not illuminated by light.

Gu Shen's face was hidden in the darkness... Fortunately, no one could see the expression on his face at this moment.

One second ago, he was the bold attacker.

Now he was hesitating and speechless.

"Ahem..."

Gu Shen reacted, put a fist in front of his lips, coughed twice, and pretended to be calm, "I like you too."

Should this be considered a love story?

Even though I said it myself, I was still a little shy.

"Yes." Chu Ling responded very calmly and said, "Someone is coming."

This reaction was too calm... Gu Shen muttered in his heart. He quickly adjusted his clothes and walked out of the alley. Two young men with sharply contrasting figures, one fat and one thin, walked towards him.

The alley is not wide.

Two figures almost completely blocked the entrance to the alley.

A ray of fire lingered between the eyebrows.

Gu Shen could clearly see that the two young men exuded a distant and extraordinary aura...

"Is there any trouble coming to your door again?"

He sighed inwardly.

really.

The two figures had no intention of leaving.

"Both of you?"

Gu Shen slowly stood up, raised his head with a smile, and with a gentle expression, he said hello and asked in his heart.

"What are the identities of these two guys...can I find out the information?"

"Under investigation..."

[Sky Eye] quickly collected these two unclear faces for face recognition, and then uploaded them to the deep sea database for identity comparison.

Chu Ling hasn't finished checking his identity information yet.

Among the two "unkind" blockers, the scrawny-looking guy with his arms folded, announced his home address.

"My surname is Gong, you can call me Gong Zi."

Gu Shen was slightly startled, a little surprised by this sudden opening statement.

"I'm sorry for following you so far."

Gong Zi got straight to the point and said calmly: "Gu Shen, I want to treat you to a meal."

Gu Shen's expression was a little strange.

Being told his name directly was not something that surprised him. There should be only a few people in Nagano Sansho who didn't recognize him.

But how can anyone speak so directly?

In addition...after I left Changling, I avoided the flow of people. Except for the few people who control the authority of [Wind Eye], no one should be able to quickly locate me.

"Gu Gubaibai Mu Li has always been known as the Five Families of Nagano. These five families control most of the resources in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River." After investigating the database, Chu Ling said slowly: "The identity of the Gong Zi in front of me is very unusual. He is the eldest son of the Gong family."

"So this is another future head of the family?"

Gu Shen subconsciously cursed, and then felt a little strange, why did he use "again"...

Well... there's Gu Nanfeng in front of him, Bai Chen in the back, plus the rumored evildoer Bai Xiu.

Not long after I came to Nagano, I met a lot of the successors and mainstays of the five families.

"Lao Gong, don't do this."

A steady voice sounded.

Did you hear that right? Was the person you called me "husband" just now?

Gu Shen's expression became even more strange... What is the relationship between these two people?

He looked up.

The broad figure that almost filled the entire alley was a fat man with goggles tied to his forehead. This figure was much thicker than Luo Yu. He looked like a giant Buddha, standing at the entrance of the alley, almost covering the entire alley with his own strength. The entire alley was blocked from light.

This mountain of meat looks extremely oppressive when viewed from a distance.

At this moment, he smiled and stretched out his hand, "My name is Mu Nan. Brother Gu, just call me Pumpkin."

Gu Shen did not step forward, but squinted his eyes from a distance and carefully looked at the two faces that gradually became clearer and stretched under the dim light. He felt the extraordinary aura emanating from the other party... and there was no hostility.

The guy opposite gave me a very warm feeling.

Well... not the enemy.

Of these two people, one is the eldest son of the Gong family, and the other, as you can tell by his name, is also a descendant of the Mu family, with a very high background.

Since there is no hostility.

Gu Shen didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Out of caution, he did not shake Mu Nan's hand, but nodded slowly.

This is already a gesture of goodwill.

Mu Nan didn't force himself. He looked at each other and patted the thin man next to him on the shoulder. He grinned and said, "Lao Gong, I said it before... Brother Gu is different from Bai Xiu. He is a good person."

This terrible title... Gong Zi's face was covered with black lines, and he gritted his teeth and said: "How many times have I told you, don't call me Lao Gong!"

"Sorry, sorry, next time I will..." The fat man scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Gong Zi took a breath, calmed down and looked at Gu Shen.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How about, give me a favor, you are new here, you always need friends in Nagano."

Gu Shen also smiled, "Can we become friends over a meal?"

"How will you know if you don't eat." Gong Zi said calmly: "Don't worry, there are no other outsiders in this meal...just three people, you, me, and him."

Mu Nan gestured apologetically from behind, telling Gu Shen not to be angry. This was the way this guy talked.

"How did you get here?" Gu Shen did not respond, but asked a question.

Gong Zi looked back slightly and winked.

Mu Nan understood.

He slowly raised his hand.

The snow particles scattered by the lights in the old alley were flying in disorder, and were inspired by a spiritual power at this moment... they were slowly gathering together, and then reflected a blurry scene.

Snow falls on the ice of Ninghe River.

On the bridge over the river, a woman wearing a black feather cloak with an angry expression was leaning on the railing to make a phone call.

This is probably the use of mental power to gather images, but it is just a very advanced tracking technique.

What surprised Gu Shen was the person they were tracking.

Not myself, but... Bai Lu.

"Someone is watching you with [Wind Eyes] twenty-four hours a day..." Gong Zi said slowly: "If I want to find you, all I have to do is follow her."

Gu Shen looked meaningfully at this unspectacular guy.

The eldest son of a big family, no one is simple.

The mantis stalks the cicada with the oriole behind. It doesn't matter. There are only a handful of people who dare to regard the witch from the Bai family as a "mantis".

"I was fortunate enough to witness the fight just now." Gong Zi clapped her hands symbolically and said, "Although the specific process cannot be seen in the real world, the result is exciting enough... I still haven't figured it out, how did you do it?" He was able to break through the witch's sealed object with the strength of the fourth level of the deep water area."

Gong Zi stared at Gu Shen and said seriously: "The same thing that puzzles me... is the day when you defeated Shen Li in the gym."

"This is no reason to invite people to dinner." Gu Shen said.

"You are right about one thing, Bai Lu is a crazy woman...she will continue to look for your position."

Gong Zi smiled, "Continuing to find your position means continuing to find trouble for you. From Ninghe to Chunyuguan, from the Snow Forbidden City to the suburbs of Nagano, if there is only one person, then it will be useless wherever you go."

"..."

Gu Shen was noncommittal.

He sighed softly, "So?"

"Come have dinner with me." Gong Zi said in a very serious and proud tone, as if he was pursuing his favorite goddess, revealing his trump card word by word: "I am the eldest son of the Gong family."
