Barrier of Light

The wind and snow howled in the alley.

The lights in the distance were lost in the white snow, leaving only a faint blush.

In the wind and snow, a low and weak cough could be faintly heard.

"Miss, add some clothes."

A deep voice sounded.

The man holding an umbrella to cover the snow took off his gray suit, revealing a white shirt held up by his muscles. He had a mature face that was both elegant and profound. Even with his ponytail, there was no trace of femininity.

This is a man who is very attractive just by looking at his back.

If you look at this man.

Many people...will fall into those deep eyes.

"Uncle Gao..."

The girl who looked like she was only fifteen years old smiled gently, "I'm not cold."

The wind and snow were blocked outside the umbrella.

There was invisible heat escaping from "Uncle Gao" and slowly swirling around the two of them. Even without this umbrella, it would not fall on the girl.

Although she said this, the girl still took the suit from "Uncle Gao" and draped it on her shoulders. She was really dressed a little thinly. Except for this one, she only wore a thin and classic black skirt.

The girl's face is as delicate as a porcelain doll. She looks like an "ancient person" who came from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Her two dragon whiskers are gently swaying in the wind. Perhaps due to malnutrition, her hair color is slightly dull. Turn blue.

At this moment, there were two snowflakes stuck to her temples, but they made her skin color whiter than snow.

Something incredible happened——

After putting on the coat.

The girl didn't cough anymore... The sickly little face also became rosy and turned three-thirds of its color.

She felt the wisps of heat surrounding her, and waves of warmth passed through her heart, but she sighed softly and said helplessly: "Uncle Gao... I'm really not cold, so I don't need to use 'Karma Fire' to drive away the cold. "

Uncle Gao, who was holding the umbrella, just smiled softly and didn't answer any more.

The two came to the door of the house in the alley.

Uncle Gao was about to knock on the door.

"Uncle Gao..." The girl gently pulled his sleeves and said with a soft smile: "Counting the time, they have almost finished eating... let's not go in and wait here for a while."

Uncle Gao was startled.

Who can refuse such a girl's request?

He could only sigh, gather the suit on the young lady's shoulders, and then silently exert a ray of spiritual power.

…

…

A man's whisper suddenly sounded in Gong Zi's ears.

At the same time, Mu Nan, who was sitting in front of the hot pot, was holding beef and preparing to feast, his face suddenly changed color.

They heard the voice at the same time.

What the voice said was: "Now that you've finished eating, come out... don't let my lady wait outside for too long."

The two of them thought of a "terrible" guy.

"Why is he here too?"

Gong Zi's heart skipped a beat and she spoke in a low voice, "And before we knew it, we were outside the door... neither of us noticed it at all..."

At this moment.

Gu Shen, who was sitting across from him, looked towards the window, across the wooden door of the house, at the empty courtyard with falling snow.

He spoke quietly and said: "You two, there seems to be some bad news... There is an incredible guest outside the door."

Gong Zi and Mu Nan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

What surprised them more than the sudden [visitor] outside the door was Gu Shen's keen perception.

The mental state of both of them is more than one level higher than that of Gu Shen.

But they didn't feel the abnormality at all... but Gu Shen noticed it?

Gu Shen tapped the table gently, his expression uncertain. In his "blazing vision", there was a powerful existence with extremely solidified extraordinary source material standing outside the door. Such a terrifying phenomenon of condensed source material was very rare.

The only people who could compare with him were titles like "Mr. Shan" and Gu Nanfeng.

Outside the door... came a person with a certain number.

However, Chu Ling's mental link did not notice any abnormalities at all, which meant that Deep Sea was not aware of the abnormality at all... This titleholder has special means of blocking Deep Sea's perception.

"You're not targeting me, are you?" Gu Shen had a vague premonition in his heart.

Gong Zi and Mu Nan both cast sympathetic glances.

The answer is obvious.

"When you go out later...be careful what you say. The person standing outside the door is one of the best in Nagano right now..."

Gong Zi kindly reminded her, but halfway through, her words stopped abruptly.

He sighed softly, obviously hearing another warning.

"Brother Gu...please."

Outside the wind and snow, the door of the house is open.

Because the surveillance images of the deep sea were blocked by unknown forces... Gu Shen had no idea what the scene would be like outside the door.

Gu Shen took a deep breath.

Accompanied by Gong Zimunan and the other two, he opened the door with some anxiety, and the scene that came into view surprised him.

The person who came to find him was not one of the few powerful titles in Nagano.

Instead, she is a girl wearing a grown man's suit jacket and a pretty figure in a classic skirt.

In his blazing fire induction, the man who occupied the entire field of vision was quietly like a shadow at the moment, just acting as a tool to hold an umbrella behind the girl... He was silent. After the actual meeting, he did not exude as much as he imagined. Terrible pressure.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

It is completely opposite to what I imagined as "the one who comes is not good".

It seems that the visitor is very kind.

The silence after opening the door did not last long. Just three seconds later, Gong Zi spoke first.

He praised sincerely: "Sister Qingsui, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have become beautiful again."

Qingsui...

The origin of this girl is actually very easy to guess, and she is able to be treated with such respect by both Gong Zi and Mu Nan.

Among the five remaining families, the Li family was the only one that did not show up.

"Brother Gong is so complimentary."

Li Qingsui smiled. This face was indeed pretty, but it was too pale and lacked some blood, making it look very sick.

"You're welcome... Brother Gong is too unfamiliar. Just call me Lao Gong."

Gong Zi smiled happily and got a little carried away. As a result, Uncle Gao, who was holding the umbrella, gave him a gloomy glare. He quickly straightened his expression and took back the second half of the sentence: "Ahem, just a joke, just a joke."

Li Qingsui simply said hello, stopped looking at the two of them, and ignored the joke which was not funny.

The girl standing under the umbrella looked at Gu Shen on the other side of the door.

She stared at Gu Shen seriously.

He also stared carefully at the wisp of fire between Gu Shen's brows.

The house fell into silence again.

"It's so beautiful..."

The girl stared at the flames with some forgetfulness, murmuring in a trance like she was dreaming.

This murmur made both Gong Zi and Mu Nan look strange...

There is a situation!

After a long time.

"My surname is Li, Li Qingsui."

Li Qingsui smiled and bowed. This was a very ancient etiquette... Just like the dress she was wearing, it originated from the aristocratic culture of elaborate etiquette hundreds of years ago.

Although Gu Shen couldn't understand, he simply imitated the gesture and returned the gesture: "Gu Shen."

"Miss Qingsui..."

After much thought and deliberation, Gu Shen still used the word "girl". He bit the bullet and asked, "You're not here to treat me to dinner, are you?"

Li Qingsui looked back at the flames and smiled warmly: "Do you want to refuse?"

Gu Shen was about to speak but stopped.

He actually wanted to refuse.

But at this moment, the silent man holding the umbrella suddenly cast his gaze towards him... He was as silent as a shadow a second ago, but now he was like a overwhelming mountain.

"Just now...I've already had dinner." Gu Shen struggled to speak despite the pressure.

"You can have another midnight snack."

Li Qingsui smiled innocently: "There is a white dew outside the alley...Brother Gu Shen, you can think about it, should you choose to follow me now or follow her later?"
