"We can't let them die so easily." When the two of them were about to die, Gu Xiqiao suddenly raised his hand and summoned the Seal of Inheritance.
Then he threw it at Wan Qijue, who was going crazy. The color of Wan Qijue's blood-red eyes had not faded yet, and his momentum was instantly pierced by the seal of inheritance.
Two days later, under the escort of Gu Xiqiao, Wan Qijue successfully integrated the Seal of Inheritance.
Gu Xiqiao did not let the leader and Wan Qiyun die immediately, but made the two unable to move, but their heads were still awake and they could still speak, allowing them to watch Wan Qijue lead the Wanqi family. Step by step, he ascended to the position of leader of the Y country's power circle.
At the same time, the news that Wan Qijue had conquered the Seal of Inheritance swept the entire Y country power circle.
What happened at Wanqi's house could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of those in the power world. In addition, some things secretly revealed by other people in Wanqi's family, they knew that a mysterious figure appeared in Wanqi's house that day. This mysterious figure was not only powerful but also powerful. Highly powerful, he can also control the Seal of Inheritance!
This news made people in the power circles panic.
Today is a banquet for Wan Qijue to ascend the throne.
Wan Qiyun and the former leader were still sitting in front of a window. They looked down at the grand occasion of Wan Qijue taking the throne with the seal of inheritance, and their eyes were full of unwillingness.
"It's really unlucky. Today is the big day for the new leader to take the throne, and it's our turn to see these two people!" The guard who was guarding these two people looked at the people receiving the award with envy, and looked at them coldly. Wan Qiyun and two people.
The former leader looked at the two guards with some disbelief. He knew that these two guards had shown him the door before. When had he not groveled when he saw him? When had he been treated like this? He glared at the two men, "How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Not only do we dare to talk to you like this, we also dare to do this!" A guard kicked down the chair where the leader was sitting, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it on the former leader's head, "Fuck you, leader, Our family has never had a good life as long as you have been in office. Fortunately, there is a new leader now. Not only does it give us the opportunity to become level 5 masters, but we also get money, for a piece of shit like you!"
Then he kicked the former leader's face with his foot and said angrily: "You are now in power, and we can wake up laughing even when we are sleeping!"
After the Y country's power circle was ruled by this former leader, the divisions in the two episodes were so serious that they even lost this huge ally in the ancient martial arts world of Z country. Jue, as soon as he came to power, he promulgated many techniques, and everyone has the opportunity to practice to a fifth-level master.
It is even possible to continue to cooperate with the ancient martial arts community of country Z.
I heard that some people from the ancient martial arts world came to attend the grand ceremony this time.
"You two go down quickly to attend the ceremony. The leader said, you don't need to look at these two losers." A soldier opened the door and came in. He said a hurried sentence and went downstairs.
When the two guards heard these words, they were extremely happy. As for the former leader and Wan Qiyun who were still in embarrassment, who cares about them
The former leader's whole body had been tampered with by Gu Xiqiao, and he was completely in a vegetative state. He still maintained this position lying on the ground, with wine and hair mixed together, and his eyes were fixed on Wan Qijue downstairs, resentful and unwilling to give up.
Suddenly, a plain white figure appeared in the crowd, and the former leader's eyes widened.
He naturally recognized that this was the person who played with the Seal of Inheritance that day.
Deep in my heart, I felt an inexplicable feeling of fear.
He immediately withdrew his gaze and said bitterly: "How could this bitch Wan Qijue have such luck!"
After saying that, he was in a state of powerlessness. He was thinking about how he had offended her. She wanted to treat her so cruelly and let him watch Wan Qijue rise to power, and he had been treated by others all his life. If you step on the soles of your feet, you will not be able to survive or die.
It's really ridiculous that this sentence originally applied to Wan Qijue was finally fulfilled by him.
"Yes, who would know?" Wan Qiyun sat motionless on the chair. He stared at the girl in plain clothes. Without this person, Wan Qijue would not be able to fight them, let alone continue. In the position of leader.
His eyes were full of unwillingness, and there was also a hint of unnoticeable regret and jealousy.
If Wan Qijue hears what these two people say, Bao Buqi will feel proud for a moment. He has been abandoned by God. God has long since abandoned him, but now Gu Xiqiao is his God. Not only has he healed his injuries, It also helped him stabilize the Wanqi family, and finally ascended to a position he had never dared to imagine.
In the past few days, he has been transforming and growing step by step. The growth rate is extremely amazing. Who can say that it is not the case
downstairs.
As the new leader, Wan Qijue was surrounded by a large number of people from the power circles, except for the Krebs family. Chief Krebs sat alone in the corner, looking at Wan Qijue who was surrounded in the center of the crowd. Jue, although his face was calm and calm, in fact, he was so regretful that his intestines were blue.
He never imagined that Wan Qijue, whom he had always disliked, would win in the end!
"Chief Krebs, aren't you going to congratulate the new leader?" The Albert family and Krebs have always had a bad personal relationship. During this time in the team, Krebs, who was good friends with the Wanqi family, betrayed the Wanqi family. , On the contrary, the Albert family secretly sided with the Wanqi family.
Therefore, after Wan Qijue came to power, the status of the Albert family has risen sharply, and now they are here to show off and stimulate themselves in front of the Krebs clan leader.
Chief Krebs tugged at the corners of his lips, his face was very stiff, and he mumbled a few times, went to congratulate the new leader? It would be strange if Wan Qi never hit him to death with one palm. Why would he hit the head of the gun
Seeing that the stimulation was enough, Patriarch Albert returned to his seat with satisfaction, and then winked at the blonde, blue-eyed, hot-bodied woman next to him.
The blond woman is Albert's daughter Mond. She is only twenty-five this year. She is powerful and well-known in the entire power world. Albert hopes that Mond can be more successful and become the leader's wife. It is best if he can't. It would not be bad for the Albert family to become the leader's wife and have a good relationship with Wan Qijue.
Mainly, Albert believed in his daughter's charm.
Mond picked up a glass of wine and did not go directly to Wan Qijue. Wan Qijue was now surrounded by high-status big shots in the world of power, as well as a few flirtatious beauties. She was not interested in getting in there, but Targeted another person.
Sitting in the corner of the banquet was a woman in a plain shirt. From her aesthetic point of view, she could only be described in two words: indifferent.
She should be someone from the East, but her face is fair and delicate, and her expression is very cold and indifferent. Her hair is not as golden as theirs, but as black as ink. The cold light shines under the light, and the hair on her shoulder The feathers of the bird are like flames, which are particularly distinct on her snow-white face.
Such a woman who should be radiant could sit quietly in a corner at this moment, as if she was an insignificant person.
But Mond knew that this woman was far from being as insignificant as she showed, because she had seen this person before. The last time she accidentally broke into the backyard of Wanqi's house, she saw this woman, and at that time Wanqi He was pouring water for her.
She thought about Wan Qijue's expression at that time, it should be flattering and humble.
Mond is a scheming woman. When other women were showing off in front of Wan Qijue, she just asked someone to check Wan Qijue's information, and finally got the news that Wan Qijue had always liked an oriental woman. , but he hid it very deeply, so it’s probably this one.
It's just that apart from her beauty, she really can't see what's good about this woman? There's no fluctuation at all on his body. He probably hasn't even reached the ordinary first-level strength, right
Thinking of this, Mond walked towards the woman step by step.
"You're not from Country Y, are you?" Meng sat down next to Gu Xiqiao familiarly and asked while raising his glass.
This woman's expression was a little flat. Gu Xiqiao glanced at her, hummed casually, and continued to stare in the direction of the hall door.
Mond punched the cotton, but she was not angry. She looked Gu Xiqiao up and down and said, "I didn't know that ordinary people from country Z can also enter the power circle of our country Y."
"Add wine." Gu Xiqiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and just ordered.
The bartender whose roommate was walking next to him immediately stepped forward after hearing this.
Mond said lazily, "Give me some more."
There were two cups in front of me. One was the daughter of the patriarch of the Albert family, who was in the limelight recently, and the other was a girl from country Z that she had never seen before. Even if the bartender was blind, he knew who to add to, and he immediately offered it to Mond with trepidation. Got wine.
After adding the wine, there was no wine left in the glass. The bartender leaned toward Gu Xiqiao apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss, I'll get you a new wine bottle right away."
"No need." Gu Xiqiao either wanted to drink, or just to block Mond's words.
"Thank you, miss." The bartender wiped his cold sweat and became more fond of the beautiful-faced woman in front of him.
Mond held up his glass with wine. She glanced at Gu Xiqiao contemptuously, then looked in the direction of Wan Qijue and ignored her.
Gu Xiqiao twirled the empty wine glass and patted Hehe who was about to spit out fire. Hehe immediately stopped on her shoulder and stared at Mond with a pair of beady eyes.
Mond, who was wearing a strapless dress, suddenly felt a chill on her back. She touched her back, feeling hesitant.
There was a sudden silence in the lively feast. The scene was eerily quiet, and everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.
There, two figures were slowly walking in. The leader was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old with a white beard. He was as graceful as an immortal in ancient mythology. Next to him was a tall man, who was taller than the figure. The old man is more eye-catching.
Even in country Y, this man with an obvious oriental face is not inferior to any person from country Y. His temperament is cold, his face is like cold jade, his eyebrows are as if they are carefully carved, and his starry eyes are shining with cold light. As I got closer, there seemed to be an explosion of air around me.
He glanced around, then paused somewhere, finally withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward steadily.
Wan Qijue and other high-level officials from the power circles immediately came to greet him.
With a typical oriental appearance and an aura that cannot be ignored, everyone now knew that the man in front of him was from the ancient martial arts world.
They immediately started whispering to each other, with uncontrollable excitement in their voices. They always thought this was a rumor, but they didn't expect that the Y country's power circles and the ancient martial arts circles actually turned their conflicts into friendship. How could it not be exciting
At the same time, Mond was also excited. She stood up with a roar and ignored the wine glass in her hand. A glass of wine spilled on Gu Xiqiao.
In the past, Gu Xiqiao would have been able to avoid it, but today... She was also in disbelief. She had not been able to react when she saw Jiang Shuxuan, so she was thrown in the face.
It was a large bottle of wine with a light color. Gu Xiqiao glanced at Mond with an expressionless expression.
Mond was in a hurry to find out the news. How could he care about a little guy like Gu Xiqiao? He just stretched out his hand to summon a service staff, and dismissed Gu Xiqiao with one sentence, "I will ask the Albert family to compensate you for the clothes."
Naturally, the small fluctuation here failed to attract the attention of others, but Wan Qijue, who was always concerned about this place, saw it. In his heart, Jiang Shuxuan was important, but these people combined did not care about (Gu) Xi (Part 1) ) Bridge (Emperor) is important, so after telling Jiang Shuxuan, he strode over.
"Miss Albert, is this your etiquette?" Wan Qijue's voice was both angry and sarcastic. He asked his henchman to take Gu Xiqiao down to change clothes.
This confidant naturally knew Gu Xiqiao, and he led Gu Xiqiao down respectfully and humbly. This attitude was no different from how he treated Wan Qijue.
Gu Xiqiao felt guilty and immediately covered his head, then went down with his cronies to change clothes.
Before Mond could even defend himself, he was shocked by Wan Qijue's words. He was thinking about Wan Qijue's words in his mind. He didn't react for a long time, and his mind was pounding.
Wasn't it just a glass of wine? Why was Wan Qijue looking at her with this expression
When he came back to his senses, he saw the angry face of his father, Patriarch Albert, "What on earth have you done? The leader took back the resources that were distributed to us, and the resources that were originally distributed to us were taken back." , do you know how other people looked at me just now?"
Albert looked at Mond, with veins appearing on his face. Originally, he had been widely praised in recent days because of his small kindness in supporting the Wan Qi family. Who would have thought that just now, Wan Qijue had appeared in front of everyone in the world? He took back the resources of the Albert family in front of him, and the mocking looks from those people simply made him lose his old face!
What did you do? Mond was in a daze, and she just threw a glass of wine. Although she had meant to look down on him before, she never expected Wan Qijue's reaction.
Albert looked at his daughter who was still in a daze, his face turned green with anger, and he walked away.
Seeing his father's disappointed and angry eyes, Mond was suddenly panicked, but he didn't know what to do.
Gu Xiqiao was taken to a room to change clothes. She rummaged through the clothes in the cabinet. They were all gorgeous evening dresses, so she discarded them as useless. Instead, she took another set of simple yellow clothes from the package. .
After changing her clothes, she felt guilty and did not return to the feast. Instead, she sat on a chair, took out her computer, and played a game she had not played for a long time.
People in the game league hadn't seen Gu Xiqiao for a long time, so they immediately started chatting.
[League][Elder] looked at it for a thousand years: Why don’t I recognize everyone’s vests
[League] [Leader] Yan Shuihan: The system issued a name change card, and everyone changed their names.
[League][Elder] glanced at the millennium: ==So that’s how it is
[League] My panties fell off upstairs: Master, I want to confess my love to you!
[League] The world is ruthless: Your name has never been so shining, Pants. I respect you as a man!
[League]I love eating watermelon: Pfft
[Alliance] [Elder] Sunshine: Pfft
…
[League] I love eating watermelon: Let’s talk about it later, the ID of the great god is inexplicably like the ID of my goddess (⊙v⊙)
[League] My panties fell off upstairs: Ah!
[League] [Elder] Sunshine: What’s wrong
[League] My panties fell off upstairs: I was just beaten by a master┭┮﹏┭┮
[League][Elder] glanced at Qianqian: Sorry, my hands are slippery^_^
Audience: ... It seems that I can’t mess with her in the future.
Gu Xiqiao took the people in the alliance to clear out the dungeon. She hadn't played the game for a long time. It took her a while to find the feel, and then it was overwhelming and uncontrollable. It was the last dungeon.
Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen actually went online at the same time. The time when they went online was official. They gathered to find out whether the "One Thousand Years" vest was a boy or a girl.
[Alliance][Elder] Sunshine: This technique is sharp and precise, and not something girls can do.
[League]The panties fell off upstairs: How could someone be so cruel be a girl~o (＞_＜)o~
[League]I love eating watermelon: You can’t be my goddess╮（╯▽╰）╭
[Alliance]Xiao Fengsese:…
[Alliance][Deputy Alliance Leader] Fifth Brother:…
[League] [Leader] Yan Shuihan: ...Since you are so curious, I will organize an offline party in City B. If anyone wants to come to me to sign up, I will cover all food and accommodation.
The atmosphere in the alliance instantly became jubilant. All food and accommodation were included. This was indeed something that a rich man like Yan Shuihan dared to do!
When Gu Xiqiao saw what Tang Qingqiu said, he couldn't help but touch his chin. Are these two people so tall that they still haven't seen each other yet? Could it be that Tang Qingqiu hasn't confessed to Xiao Yun yet? What made Gu Xiqiao even more dumbfounded was that Wu Hongwen and Xiao Yun made a silent comment in the group.
[League] Xiao Fengsese: I don’t have time
[Alliance] [Deputy Leader] Fifth Brother: +1
[Alliance][Leader] Yan Shuihan: ┭┮﹏┭┮
Gu Xiqiao knew that Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen were busy training, especially Xiao Yun, who was even busier and could not miss any training or filming, but she still silently chose to cheat her teammates.
[League] [Elder] glanced at the millennium: I’m going!
A few seconds later.
[League] Xiao Fengsese: I suddenly remembered that I also have time
[Alliance] [Deputy Leader] Fifth Brother: +1
[Alliance][Leader] Yan Shuihan:…
Tang Qingqiu's heart: If it weren't for knowing that Yi Gu Qianqian was Gu Xiqiao, and not knowing that she was with Jiang Shuxuan, he would definitely think that Yi Gu Qianqian was a coquettish bitch who specialized in seducing people!
Gu Xiqiao didn't know about Tang Qingqiu's sour heart because she found Xiao Yun's private chat.
Xiao Fengsese: Actually we met Uncle Jiang at the training ground. Ahem, anyway, I was scared at that time. My face was so dark and serious. I have to say, Gu Erqiao, you did a good job for provoking Uncle Jiang. To that extent, good luck to you, Amen!
Yigu Qianqian: I am asking you for advice sincerely.
Xiao Fengsese: Hey, let me interrupt you with something. Have you blocked Director Cheng and not yet brought him back
A Thousand Years of Glance:...Change the topic
Xiao Fengsese: ... Zhu Yuan also came to see me.
After a thousand years of looking at it: Change it again!
Xiao Fengsese:... Tang Mama is looking for me.
A glance at Qian Qian: I’m going to do it.
Xiao Fengsese: Actually, I don’t think Uncle Jiang will be angry with you.
Gu Xiqiao touched his chin, wondering if Xiao Yun was right. After all, Jiang Shuxuan didn't even look at her when she came in... If she was really angry, well, Gu Xiqiao rubbed his head and sighed.
Xiao Fengsese: Gu Erqiao, I have never seen you so sloppy and coy. To this, I just want to say one thing, you have today too!
Gu Xiqiao: ...are these still friends? Block him immediately!
The feast was over. Wan Qijue took Jiang Shuxuan and the white-bearded old man into the conference room. The three of them discussed cooperation issues in secret, but basically it was the white-bearded old man who was talking, and Jiang Shuxuan was obviously not in the state, with a faint look in his eyes. , even Wan Qijue could see it.
When the talk was about to end, Jiang Shuxuan suddenly stood up and looked at the two of them with cold eyes, "Sorry, I have some personal matters to deal with."
Naturally, no one dared to object to his words. Wan Qijue winked with his cronies, telling them not to disturb Jiang Shuxuan by people who were short-sighted. After receiving the order, his cronies immediately followed Jiang Shuxuan.
Going out, we walked around to a typical European-style building.
Jiang Shuxuan stood by the pool for a while. Wan Qijue's cronies didn't know what he was doing, but they stayed behind him calmly.
Suddenly, Jiang Shuxuan turned his head and looked forward with squinted eyes.
Behind him, the ornately decorated door was opened, and the figure standing at the door had a face as beautiful as jade.
The cold expression softened instantly, and Jiang Shuxuan looked in that direction without moving.
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry..." As soon as the confidant saw that it was Miss Gu who had disturbed Jiang Shuxuan, he immediately leaned over to explain to Jiang Shuxuan, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Jiang Shuxuan who was standing in front of him suddenly disappear.
He looked forward in stunned silence.
Looking at Gu Xiqiao, who lowered his head and still held the hem of his clothes with one hand, Jiang Shuxuan's anger disappeared instantly. Thinking about the things she had done in Country Y, he could only sigh, "Have you had enough?"
"Brother Jiang, let's go back." Gu Xiqiao raised his head and smiled at him. This place is not as fun as expected, but the Imperial Capital is more fun.
When Wan Qijue arrived, what he saw was the scene of two people looking at each other, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
All the doubts in my mind were tied together.
Why did Gu Xiqiao suddenly target the leader of Country Y's power circle? She had no conspiracy theory. She simply wanted to teach the former leader a lesson for Jiang Shuxuan, because that international thug was someone the leader didn't know where he got to deal with him. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiang Shuxuan would be injured in the end, and then she would risk her own body to lay out the overall situation.
Why did Jiang Shuxuan suddenly want to express his goodwill to the power circles of Country Y, and said in the international power circles that the leader of Country Y would be replaced, and he would support him? Jiang Shuxuan's words are extremely weighty, otherwise, he would not be the leader. So easy.
The two of them did so much silently, but they didn't confess to anyone.
After thinking about it, Wan Qijue suddenly smiled. He looked at the two people slowly walking towards him, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
"You're leaving tomorrow?" Wan Qijue looked slightly surprised, "I haven't had time to thank you yet."
Gu Xiqiao was about to say no, but Wan Qijue suddenly smiled at Gu Xiqiao. The manager these days had made him lose his sharpness, and his smile was like a peach blossom, like a spring breeze, "But it's okay, I still have a long time." It’ll take me a long time to repay you.”
His voice is low and his eyes are like water. When he looks at people, it makes people feel that you are the only one in his eyes.
Jiang Shuxuan's face turned dark. He originally wanted to push the person in front of him aside, but after thinking about it, he held back and pulled Gu Xiqiao out of here. This was not saving a person, but clearly saving a trouble. !
Go back home! Return home soon!
Gu Xiqiao: "..." Confused JPG
When Wanqi Jue Shi Shiran returned, the white-bearded old man touched his beard and said calmly, "I will wait for Young Master Jiang to come back and go with him."
"Sir Elder," Wan Qijue smiled, "Mr. Jiang has just gone back to China."
The old man with white beard: "..." Damn it!
Watching the white-bearded old man leave with a smile, Wan Qijue suddenly received a message from Gu Xiqiao - [There are many secrets in the Seal of Inheritance. I hope you can make good use of it. If you don't understand, I can answer it for you. .]
Wan Qijue quickly sent a message: [Why do you want to help me?]
—[My wish is—world peace.]
What does this have to do with anything? Wan Qijue read this sentence over and over again, but when he asked again, Gu Xiqiao didn't answer. He called and his phone was turned off.
It's time to get on the plane, Wan Qijueru thought.
He must not know that there is another thing in the world called - the blacklist.
At the same time, the imperial capital.
Fu Wei finished reading the report, then looked up at Fu Dongyi, "Where is Jun'er?"
"Miss is currently attending university A and has not done anything else." Fu Dongyi pushed up his glasses and began to report Fu Xuejun's recent status.
Just be content. Fu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Fu Xuejun would lose his temper. Now that the Fu family has removed Fu Xuejun's status as heir, it will be a test for her and he hopes she can use this to control her temper.
"Has Director Cheng replied?" Fu Wei suddenly remembered another thing.
Fu Dongyi knew what Fu Wei wanted to ask, "Director Cheng said that he already has a suitable candidate for the heroine of that drama. No matter how much money we invest, he will not have the idea of replacing her."
"Okay, you go down first." Fu Wei waved his hand and sighed slightly. He thought of the girl who was extremely talented in acting. He originally wanted to give her a hand when he returned to the imperial capital this time, but he didn't expect that Director Cheng already had one. Candidate.
He had also been in contact with Director Cheng, and he was stubborn, so he didn't persist anymore.
Let's look for other opportunities.
Fu Wei cheered up and looked at the contract Jiutian had just given him. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. When he finished reading the contract, he realized that it was already time to get off work.
In the cafe.
Fu Xuejun played with the diamond bracelet in her hand, the latest designer design.
"Xuejun, this really matches your skin tone." Shi Haixuan looked at Fu Xuejun with a smile on her face.
"Thank you." Fu Xuejun put away the necklace with no interest. It was just a diamond necklace. There were countless more expensive things in her cabinet, so naturally she wouldn't look at it. "I have to go back."
Hearing these words, Shi Haixuan's eyes lit up, "Are you going back to your cousin's house?"
"No!" Fu Xuejun lowered her head. How could she go to Bai Libin's house and receive cold looks? She's not stupid!
"Oh," Shi Haixuan's face stiffened for a moment, and then instantly softened, "Xuejun, don't forget what you promised me."
"I know." Fu Xuejun was a little irritated. She picked up her bag and walked out of the coffee shop.
Behind the scenes, Shi Haixuan stood there stunned for a long time, and then received a call from her mother, "...I know mom, I will bear it."
She looked at Fu Xuejun's leaving figure and bit her lip. She had long heard that Fu Xuejun was favored by the Fu family and the Baili family. Now that she saw it, it was true that Bailibin would always listen to Fu Xuejun. As long as she fights with Fu Xuejun They have a good relationship, but are you still worried that Bai Libin won't look at her
When she thought of this, Shi Haixuan's eyes flickered.
Outside the house, Fu Xuejun opened her car door, sat on the driver's seat, lowered her eyes, but did not open it for a long time.
Last night, she accidentally overheard the conversation between Fu Wei and Baili Wenxi. The two of them actually wanted to choose a role for Gu Xiqiao. For this reason, Fu Wei did not hesitate to invest 100 million just to give Gu Xiqiao a role. The heroine's seat!
The jealousy in her heart was about to go crazy. Fu Xuejun took a deep breath. If this continues, if these two people find out Gu Xiqiao's identity in the future, then she will really have nothing...
This can't go on like this!
Didn't Gu Xiqiao win the favor of the two of them with his acting skills
Thinking of this, Fu Xuejun bit her lip. She took out her mobile phone and made a call: "Dad, I want to film!"
