Barrier of Light

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Shen finally returned to his seat. This table was filled with "captain"-level experts who were on a restart mission. They had known each other since the training ground and had lived and died together in the disaster. Now they were gathered at the same table, which was quite exciting. lively.

"Big Red Man, are you finally done?"

Zhong Yuan teased with a smile.

Gu Shen sighed and said helplessly: "Maybe I should make it clear to them that although my surname is Gu, I was not born in the Gu family in Nagano."

Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "Even so...but now that the Gu family has completed the integration, apart from the old man and Gu Nanfeng, I'm afraid there are few people who can speak more powerfully than you."

Gu Shen knew that these people were looking for their own "purpose".

It's just... these so-called "powerful people", at this stage, just want to say hello to themselves and become familiar with them.

I'm afraid they also learned about the Holy Judge.

Gu Shen didn't want to reveal the minds of these guys. Life is like a drama. On the stage of power in the five continents, everyone needs some "respectability".

"I just saw... Grand Duke Xiangchen seems to have asked you on a date too?"

Fisher was very interested in Xiangchen and asked.

"yes."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "I made the appointment on behalf of his student. The Dongning City garrison came out of Dongzhou with me. He probably wanted to chat with me."

As for what to talk about, he wasn't sure and didn't think much about it.

"Xiang Chen is a very good person." Fisher gave high praise.

He recalled the past and said slowly: "I think back then, when I first came to Beizhou, I was unfamiliar with the place in Central City. Thanks to Mr. Osmond's introduction, Grand Duke Xiangchen took good care of me and even offered me some advice. His invitation to study..."

Gu Shen: "..."

He had already guessed the outcome of this matter.

"You also know that the thing I hate most in my life is 'reading'..."

Fisher touched the fish tank on his head and said awkwardly: "Finally, I went to Deep Scale City. The paper book collection he gave me before leaving is still gathering dust on the bookshelf."

Judging from this, Xiangchen's reputation and character are really good.

Indeed... who would hate a "teacher" who is at ease reading and teaching others to read?

"somebody is coming."

Suddenly, Mu Wanqiu lowered her voice and said this to Gu Shen in a gloomy voice.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in a certain direction in the banquet hall.

Several captains on the table felt an aura that attracted spirits.

The lively venue suddenly became a little quiet.

The crowd gave in.

Make way for this stunning woman who is "full of light".

…

…

"Hello... Mr. Xiao Gu, my surname is Meng, Meng Xizhou."

This is a young woman wearing a gauze and not many clothes. Her features are as clear as blue water or clouds in the sky. Once people take one look at it, it is difficult to look away... like this A pair of pupils that seemed to be seen only in newly born babies.

Because this woman's appearance was so stunning, many "gentlemen and celebrities" holding wine glasses in the banquet hall subconsciously fell into the woman's gentle eyes. Ten seconds passed before they knew it, and then they realized Realizing that he was being rude, he quickly looked away, but the strange thing was that after he looked back, no one thought it was a rude thing.

Because of such beautiful eyes, anyone who looks at them will want to take a second look.

Nothing to do with evil thoughts.

That is the most instinctive desire deep in the human heart - the pursuit of beauty and light.

After being called out for a long time, no one expected that this woman who grabbed everyone's attention as soon as she appeared walked straight past the tables in the venue and finally came to Gu Shen.

She held out her hand and briefly introduced herself.

Gu Shen, who was sitting on the seat, also stared at these eyes very seriously... He looked at them longer than everyone else because he looked at them more seriously than everyone else.

Meng Xizhou's eyes were full of "brightness".

This is a more pure "light" than the blessing on Meng Xiao.

When these eyes fell on him... "Pluto's Fire" subconsciously wanted to leave the spiritual sea between the eyebrows and float out, because it felt the stimulation of the other half of the opposing force destined by fate.

After a long time.

Gu Shen calmed down.

He stood up and did not shake hands with her. Instead, he bowed slightly and bowed in the traditional Dongzhou custom: "It turns out to be the goddess whom Gu has admired for a long time."

This woman has too much light in her body.

Gu Shen was worried that if he shook hands... something would be noticed.

If it's not necessary, try to avoid it.

There is another reason, that is, Chu Ling is also staring at this scene.

"What a beautiful girl." Chu Ling's eyes never left Meng Xizhou. Her voice was calm, but every word she spoke was heart-wrenching: "It's a pity...she is really thorny. Rose, this is an extremely dangerous person. She was born to be considered the successor of the 'Light Fire'. If there are no accidents, she will inherit the mantle of the God of Light in the future."

Gu Shen knew what Chu Ling meant.

He is Hades.

Mengxizhou is bright.

The two are like water and fire. According to the development of the predecessors Guangming and Pluto... I am afraid that I and Meng Xizhou will have to compete with each other sooner or later.

Of course he doesn't want to become enemies with Meng Xizhou, but sometimes, fate is like this and he can't help it. It can't be decided by whether he wants it or not.

Since he is already the successor of "Pluto's Fire", it is better to minimize his contact with Meng Xizhou.

The reason why Mu Wanqiu spoke before was to remind herself.

It is also for this reason.

I'm afraid that she was surrounded by people before. When she sat here, she had already felt the gaze of the Goddess of Light——

"Mr. Xiao Gu..."

Meng Xizhou smiled, she knew Dongzhou's etiquette.

Gu Shen did not shake hands, but bowed. Meng Xizhou was not angry at all, but bowed to the same standard and returned.

Her voice is as graceful as the sound of nature, and every word seems to be blessed by light, making people feel calm and like a spring breeze.

"I would like to ask you to go out for a while, is that possible?"

Let’s get straight to the point.

Gu Shen sighed slightly in his heart... The acting style of this goddess of light was so direct, without even a hint of euphemism.

"please."

On this occasion, with so many people watching, he had no room to refuse.

If we really want to argue, the identity of Meng Xizhou, the goddess of light... is actually more noble than the previous Grand Duke Xiangchen.

…

…

While everyone was watching, Meng Xizhou and Gu Shen left the banquet together and went to an elegant and quiet separate living room next to the banquet hall. The two waiters led the way and then closed the door and left.

"Miss Meng, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to make an appointment with me in front of so many people, right?"

Gu Shen spoke first.

He kept a certain distance and was still a little wary at the moment.

Today's banquet is a banquet for Beizhou to display "traveler achievements". Logically speaking... Meng Xizhou is a big shot in Guangming City, so he should not be qualified to join the party.

"Your Majesty the Queen, is there anything inappropriate?"

Meng Xizhou said calmly: "Since I can come to this banquet, it means that Her Majesty the Queen has given permission."

Not to mention, meeting alone... Her Majesty the Queen sees everything she says and does when she comes here.

There are no secrets under the throne of God.

That's it.

"Actually, I arrived in Beizhou the night before you left for Duolu River. It's just that I am here, without any relatives or friends. No matter who I want to see, everyone is hiding from me..."

Meng Xizhou smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and said: "I heard that Mr. Xiao Gu has a close relationship with the Nagano Gu family, so I took the liberty to ask for an interview today... Compared with making an appointment in private, I think it is better to make an invitation openly and openly in front of everyone. It’s more appropriate.”

Hearing this, Gu Shen felt relieved.

Nagano Gu family...

He probably understood the purpose of this goddess meeting him today.

"Are you looking for me... because you regret your marriage?" Gu Shen asked uncertainly.

"Yes...and not just."

"Because of 'repented marriage', I was imprisoned in Guangming City, and the God ordered me not to go out."

Meng Xizhou lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This time when I came to Central City, I ran out 'sneakly'. Maybe in a few days, I will be forcibly taken back, and during this period, I need to find someone Send a letter to someone you trust."

Gu Shen was thoughtful.

Meng Xizhou had a distinguished status in Guangming City, but when he arrived in Beizhou, although he was treated with courtesy, there was no so-called "trustworthy" person who could be entrusted to him.

Wait a minute...she wants to find someone to deliver the message.

"It can't be me, right?" Gu Shen suddenly had a headache.

The hopeful look cast from the opposite side almost confirmed this conjecture.

"I'm sorry... maybe you don't know the whole story. Please allow me to elaborate."

Meng Xizhou's eyes were a little complicated.

She said in a hoarse voice: "Many years ago, Beizhou and Xizhou were inseparable 'allies'. When they were stationed at the fortress of the Zhengyi Front Line, Guangming City and the Beizhou royal family once fought bloody battles and became an alliance through blood. This kind of The relationship has been maintained for hundreds of years... It's just that in recent years, the trust between the two parties has begun to waver. For the sake of each other's development, the two clans have agreed with each other and made a marriage contract. On one end of the marriage contract is me from Guangming City, and On the other side is Lin Lin of the Lin royal family."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and listened patiently.

"It's just that...the relationship between the two clans is shaken, and it cannot be resolved by marriage."

Meng Xizhou said seriously: "Beizhou or Guangming City... they all have fundamental problems at their foundation. Even if I marry Mr. Lin, it may not make things better. Of course, This is not the most important reason why I regret my marriage."

"I want to destroy this marriage, and more importantly -"

Meng Xizhou looked at Gu Shen with a solemn expression and said word by word: "I already have someone in my heart. His number in Beizhou is 'CN021'."

Gu Shen fell completely silent.

He knew that he seemed to have to become a "postman".

Because the "CN021" in Meng Xizhou's mouth also has a name in Dongzhou.

His name is Gu Nanfeng.
