Barrier of Light

After Gu Shen left the Li clan hall.

Chu Ling's voice sounded.

"Qingsui has been taking care of Shenci Mountain all these years."

Gu Shen was startled.

After Li Qingci died, there were no more guardians in Shenci Mountain... But after all, it was an important place of the Li family, and it was always inconvenient to leave it to outsiders to take care of. So Li Qingsui often came there in person, and the black flowers all over the mountains and plains could only be seen in time. After half of the cleaning, after the goddess appears, there will be no backlash in this area, so the small white flowers in the flower garden are well protected.

"She has always kept my secret."

Chu Ling said: "Qingsui has changed a lot in the past few years."

"I see it."

Gu Shen said happily: "Head of the Li family, she deserves these four words."

When Li Qihu was seriously ill, he asked Gu Shen to take good care of the little girl. Looking at it now, although he neglected his duty, the final result was good.

…

…

The cocktail party in Snow Forbidden City is very lively tonight.

Because of the merger, the relationship between the two continents has never been closer, and many important figures were present.

The management of this extremely high-standard cocktail party is very strict, and no one without an invitation is allowed to enter.

But for Gu Shen today... this so-called "management" is in name only.

He has the [Shenyin Cloak], and when he deliberately hides his spirit, no one in Nagano can detect his arrival.

Gu Shen sat in the corner of the reception, watching the "celebrities and dignitaries" chatting with each other.

He disguised himself as an inconspicuous character so that he would not be regarded as a waiter and would not be noticed.

This time, he just wanted to see his old friend.

Gong Zi has successfully inherited the position of head of the family. The Gong family is also responsible for a very important part of the merger project. Beizhou has appointed a new duke, but the two titles of "Zhuxue" and "Forging Yang" are still strong.

Gong Zi has a close relationship with Grand Duke Duoyang.

In the early years, the Gong family had an "engagement contract" with Grand Duke Duanyang. This matter troubled Gong Zi for many years. In the end, he regretted the engagement in the name of traveling north.

This matter had twists and turns, but fortunately the final result was good.

The children of both parties despised each other, and the engagement was peacefully terminated...but the relationship between the two families did not become tense.

Because of his daughter's willfulness, Grand Duke Duoyang always felt guilty and felt that he owed the Gong family. So this time, Grand Duke Duoyang personally came forward to help the Gong family and solved a lot of troubles.

This cocktail party was very important. Grand Duke Duoyang came in person to meet the head of the Gong family whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two talked very happily.

On the other side, Mu Qingyang was having an intimate conversation with a weirdo with a fish tank on his head.

Gu Shen recognized Fisher at a glance.

There is no other reason.

In fact, Fisher's image is so attractive.

Fisher is still trapped in the "Unification of Domains" step in the past six years... It's not that he is not talented enough, but that the step of sealing a title is indeed too difficult. The more talented a person is, the more powerful the domain he can comprehend. And "unity" is even more difficult.

However, [Live Fish] is stuck at level four.

But it is not without progress.

This cocktail party was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Gu Shen did not dare to release the "blazing fire" and could only make a simple estimate... He felt that Fisher had probably reached the "fourth level of transcendence", although he failed to successfully merge into one. , but it can be regarded as a very remarkable breakthrough.

He heard that Captain Lu Zhe had been promoted and Xiao Qiu had also completed his promotion.

This way.

Beizhou really needs a "fourth-level transcendent realm".

Gu Shen met Zhong Yuan in the ice sea... Although the captain of the second team was powerful, he was still a little short of the "fourth-level transcendence". I think Beizhou would not be able to do it without the "fourth-level transcendence". Let Lu Zhe and Mu Wanqiu be promoted so easily.

If you guessed correctly.

The "fourth-level transcendent" Beizhou is hiding under the card table now is Fisher!

On the other side, Mu Qingyang's level has also improved greatly.

This guy successfully comprehended the second realm, and the next stage is "unity".

In terms of talent, Mu Qingyang has never been the most top-notch genius, but he must be the hardest-working and most stable genius. He will never retreat when he sees the right direction, and he can really risk his life when encountering problems.

It is easier for such people to become banned than for those geniuses who have been promoted smoothly.

The head of the Mu family made a very wise choice by placing the future of the Mu family on Mu Qingyang, a non-direct clan member from Jiuning District.

Before Gu Shen's death, two important candidates for the merger plan were finalized.

Li Qingsui, Mu Qingyang.

Although Nagano's "Five Families" are all giants, there are also strong and weak ones.

Needless to say, the Gu and Bai families are each of their own kind.

Gong's position was consolidated by virtue of his friendship with Duke Tuoyang.

The most vulnerable ones left are the Li family and the Mu family.

Because the will of the two divine thrones has led to the merger, the candidates for these two important positions directly revitalized the Li family and the Mu family. It can be said that the protagonists of tonight's reception are Li Qingsui and Mu Qingyang.

…

…

Gu Shen didn't listen to much about the details of the merger plan.

He knew that Mu Qingyang came to Fisher to discuss the joint development of the latest source energy boat. Huazhi has mastered relatively complete source energy boat technology. This is a huge project that costs countless dollars. The Underground Research Institute and Huazhi Group Half of the family's fortune is on it. If the continent goes to war in the future, if you want to fight against the cloud ship fleet in the upper city, you must do this!

As for Li Qingsui, there are even more things to deal with.

Tonight's cocktail party, for those "joiners", is about talking about cooperation and the future.

But for Gu Shen.

Just to see old friends.

Seeing these old friends all living well, Gu Shen felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

He also saw Bai Lu, the witch of the Bai family, who was always against him back then. Now she was no longer the arrogant and domineering person she was. She was wearing an extremely elegant dress, sitting in the corner of the reception like him, drinking quietly, and Not looking for anyone to talk to.

The Bai family now has a god seat in charge, and its status is extremely transcendent... and its fortune has exploded. In this era, the Bai family has several powerful titles.

White sleeves, white sink, white pool.

With these three people around, there is almost no burden on Bai Lu's shoulders. The favor of the family leader and brother allows her to do whatever she wants, but she just doesn't have the thoughts she had back then.

Most of the time, Bai Lu spent quietly grading papers in the ancestral hall.

In the past few years, she has also participated in the investigation team's outings with the head of the family. She said that the Snow Forbidden City was too boring and she wanted to have fun.

Gu Shen knew all these things.

It wasn't that he deliberately checked on Bai Lu, but what Shen Li told him... Xiao Tie Ren was one of the few people in Bai Lu who would take the initiative to contact him. The relationship between the two of them had been somewhat subtle in the past few years.

In Shen Li's words, "This crazy woman doesn't know what's causing her madness. She always comes to me if she has anything."

When Gu Shen heard this, he just smiled understandingly.

There are some things that Shen Li hasn't figured out yet.

"Miss Bai, I am Du Fang, the garrison of Suxue Fortress, and I would like to buy you a drink."

"Miss Bai..."

Although Shiro was sitting in the corner, there were still many people who would talk to her, most of them were fortress officers. As the merger progressed, the people of Hokkaido became more and more aware of the legendary Five Nagano Families, known as the "Nagano Thorns" It also spread as far as Beizhou, and many people were very interested in the eldest lady of the Bai family.

Part of the reason is that he wants to climb a high tree, and part of the reason is... Beizhou people like women with Bai Lu's personality.

The more thorny a rose is, the more it can inspire people's desire to conquer.

After being rejected by several fortress garrison members, a very "perseverant" guy appeared and wanted to invite Bai Lu to dance with him. However, due to his overly direct personality and slightly tough attitude, this guy was slapped by Bai Lu on his backhand. He was slapped twice and fled in despair with his tail between his legs.

Putting aside the two brothers, Bai Lu himself has reached the fourth level and is in the process of comprehending the second realm.

She is a close disciple of the Grand Inquisitor!

This strength... put it on the northwest frontier, Gao Luo is also the garrison of a medium-sized fortress. There are really not many people who are chatting with him tonight who have the capital to dance with him.

See this scene.

Gu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

But this smile attracted Bai Lu's attention. Even if he stopped smiling, he was still looking for him.

Bai Lu didn't shy away from anything, she just sat opposite Gu Shen, staring directly into Gu Shen's eyes...

There is [Ghost Veil] and [Godly Cloak].

Gu Shen was calm and composed.

The extraordinary aura on his body has been completely restrained. This is a perfect concealment that even Mr. Bai Shu can't feel the clues... It is impossible for Bai Lu to see through his disguise.

"Ma'am, what advice do you have?"

After being stared at for ten seconds, Gu Shen slowly put down his wine glass.

"Are you from Beizhou?"

Bai Lu's tone was suspicious.

"...Yes." Gu Shen smiled and said: "Beizhou Xinyang Fortress, a small person, cannot compare to those who are stationed there."

He was so easy to tell lies like this.

The reception tonight was very large, everyone was there, and he didn't believe anyone would check them one by one.

"You don't know me?" Bai Lu raised her eyebrows.

Gu Shen smiled and asked, "Should I know him?"

"But I think I should get to know you!"

Bai Lu still stared at Gu Shen's eyes, and she said seriously: "Your eyes... look very much like an old friend of mine."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent. He didn't really believe in women's intuition.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Lu finished saying this, a Beizhou Fortress garrison who had just been rejected came and put a big hand on Gu Shen's shoulder. The sturdy garrison pretended to be affectionate and hugged Gu Shen. , said jokingly with a smile.

"Miss Bai, do you like this one, and it will fall down when the wind blows?"

Although Gu Shen changed his appearance, his figure was difficult to change.

Trapped in the sea of ​​ice for six years.

The vitality fire had only been nourishing for less than a month.

This body...it would be appropriate to describe it as falling over when the wind blows.

"Don't talk like that about your people."

Bai Lu smiled and said, showing her white teeth, "You just said, which fortress are you a garrison at?"

For some reason, when she saw this guy sitting in the corner, she felt a sense of familiarity that she hadn't seen for a long time. Now that he had diverted the trouble away, she felt much lighter.

Gu Shen sighed softly.

Sure enough, Bai Lu is still the same Bai Lu. No matter how many books the Bai family witch reads, she is still a crazy woman.

Shen Li was right about this.

"With this look, could he be a fortress garrison?"

The strong man patted Gu Shen on the shoulder, fearing that he would scatter the thin dog in front of him with more force. He did not hide the teasing in his tone and asked with a smile: "Little guy, which fortress are you from... What do I think of you?" It’s not like Beizhou’s!”

Gu Shen raised his head helplessly, grinned and said, "If you want to know the answer... just come out with me."

He pointed outside the reception hall and made a classic Beizhou gesture.

Singled out.

Several fortress garrison burst into laughter.
