“Alright, let's go in?” Tang Qinghong spoke, before going inside the house, wanting to know who the mysterious owner of the house was.
When he first came to this village, he was greeted by the villagers, but they started to dislike him and rejected him and based only on that, he said, it is obvious that the owner of this house is quite respected in the area. Who is it, and why are they so respected?
The first thing he saw upon entering the house was a pile of money on the floor, then a beautiful girl in a white T-shirt and jeans.
The girl looked at him when she heard him enter, and she blinked in surprise.. Is that him?
He was comforted by this girl when he saw her on the train a few hours ago, thinking that she might be a student on the way home for the holidays, but before they could speak, she disappeared.
Now, she appeared in front of him again, and was the owner of the house she was curious about? What possibility?
“You..”.
“Ah, the last one is back. Go pack your bags and get out of my house. ” Gu Xiqiao glanced at him, speaking in a cold and demanding tone.
Tang Qinghong realized that he was angry, and by taking a quick look at the money on the floor and at Bao Xinyi who was still slightly shivering behind him, he concluded what had happened quite quickly. But he was still curious. How could this girl scare Bao Xinyi so badly?
“Wait.” Just as Gu Xiqiao was about to walk up, Tang Qinghong stopped him in a friendly tone, as if he wanted to find a compromise. “I'm sorry on behalf of my friend for being angry with you, but we really should stay here. Can we reach an agreement? “
Hearing his words, Bao Xinyi and Su Wen made the same shocked expression.
To them, Tang Qinghong was like a moon in the sky, distant and unreachable, and even if they lived under one roof, they still treated him with respect and even fear. They not only differed greatly in social status, but also in other factors, and they already felt incredibly lucky to be living here with him this time around.
After hearing his tone, it was difficult for them to process what had happened for a while. Who is Tang Qinghong? He was someone that even the mayor of the Imperial Capital had to respect, and now he was being very polite and humble to this girl? This was too shocking, and Su Wen's expression was someone who had seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, Bao Xinyi understood Tang Qinghong's reaction. This girl might not be as simple and harmless as her appearance.
“Sorry, but it's impossible.” Gu Xiqiao did not even turn his head as he refused, there was no pause in his steps.
This girl was really too brash, and Su Wen could not help but look towards Tang Qinghong. Judging from his appearance, would he be angry? There aren't many people who can reject Young Master Tang directly.
Tang Qinghong sighed softly upon hearing the rejection. So he has to do this another way? He looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist and smiled. “Say, do you know people from the Yin family?”
This time, Gu Xiqiao stopped walking up the stairs and looked back at him, raising his chin slightly so he could explain.
“Tang Yanling is my aunt.”
Her aunt? Gu Xiqiao lowered his head, his fingers touching the jade bracelet for a moment while pondering for a moment. “You can stay here, but you can't bother me, neither can the other villagers.”
“Of course.” Tang Qinghong nodded with a smile. “My friends are not polite now, so I will lecture them on your behalf.”
Bao Xinyi was still outside the door, looking at Gu Xiqiao with a terrified expression. Every time he stepped into the courtyard, he felt as if there was a hand on his neck, and it was even difficult to breathe properly. If this continued, he would probably go crazy!
But when she saw Tang Qinghong and Gu Xiqiao, Bao Xinyi did not dare to speak any further, only decided to move as soon as she had the chance.
The only reason why he wanted to stay here was to get closer to Tang Qinghong, but what good was he if he died?
Hearing Tang Qinghong's command, Gu Xiqiao was about to walk upstairs again before she heard a shouting voice from outside in the courtyard.
“Small Gu, we heard Daniu say that you are home, so we are here to see you!”
Tang Qinghong did not close the gate behind him as he entered, so there was a group of villagers outside the gate who came to see Gu Xiqiao with a gift behind him as soon as they heard that he had returned.
Gu Xiqiao walked out to look at the villagers whose skin was tanned from working in the sun all day, holding eggs, or grains, or fresh fruits and vegetables in their hands.
“We heard you came back and were worried you had nothing to eat, so here we are!” The village chief spoke as everyone worked together to put everything on the wooden table in the courtyard. None of them dared to enter the house, so they only talked to him outside.
The village chief sighed. “Little Gu, I'm sorry for being so useless that I can't even keep an eye on your house for you ..”
“Village head, please don't say that.” Gu Xiqiao smiled as he assured the village chief, “I've known you since I was a child, so can't I know that you must have tried your best? It's not something you can control, and I'm grateful that my house is still intact and you also managed to leave my room untouched. ”
All of these villagers have unclassy and warm hearts.
“Alright, then I won't talk about it anymore.” The village chief sighed again. “Your aunt returned to her mother's house today so she'll only be back tomorrow. Come to our place tomorrow and I'll have her cook something nice for you, hm? Look at you, all of you skin and bones after coming out of the village! “
“Well, he even asked me to come here to see you together!” Speaking of Shi Tou, the village chief chuckled. Shi Tou was his only son, and Yu Man had saved him when the boy had smallpox in the past, so their families were quite close to each other.
But then again, which family in the village was not close to Yu Man and Gu Xiqiao?
Gu Xiqiao escorted the village chief in some way before he drove him back, so he could only stand there and watch as he disappeared from his sight before turning around.
Tang Qinghong's eyes gleamed in shock upon seeing how practical everyone in the village had come to feed Gu Xiqiao. They had stayed here for quite a while now and had never been treated like this, even by the girls who had a crush on Tang Qinghong.
Is he really popular and respected?
Gu Xiqiao did not have the mood or patience to care, so he simply walked into his room. Before this, he had actually bought many gifts for the villagers, and after thinking this, he made a large plastic container appear in his room with one purpose.
All the gifts he brought were put into this container so that it would only take up one place in the system inventory.
He had bought too many presents, so he sat on the floor as he arranged everything. He had not even done his daily mission, and after thinking about the hassle of having to clean the room and then go take a shower before he could do so, he felt a headache coming again.
Gu Xiqiao could only speed up his movements, only coming down to take a bath.
As he walked out the door, he stopped as he stared at the plant pot on the window sill. It is a steak plant, which is a hardy type of plant and can survive easily in any kind of soil. Usually, the leaves are green or purple with toothed fringes and fine hair, but this particular plant has a black mist around it which makes it look quite scary.
[Beauty Qiao, something's wrong!] The system that played the video game inside the void suddenly raised its head as it looked at the pot with a serious expression.
Gu Xiqiao extended a hand and the pot of plants floated into his palm, and at that moment touching his palm, a cold mechanical sound rang out in his head again, while the screen appears in front of him with a message written in red .
[Chain Mission — Stage Two: There is an unknown source of evil aura within ten miles of your position, you must find the source and immediately purify it!]
[Mission achievement reward: 5000 points]
[Punishment for mission failure: Abolition]
Upon seeing these words, Gu Xiqiao was quite calm. This was the reason why he was reborn, and it was a responsibility he could not simply ignore.
Even if not, this was still where he grew up, and where the ancestors of the villagers laid their roots, and he would not let them lose their homes anytime soon.
The main reason he came back in the first place was to find the reason that made all the villagers disappear, and after seeing this mission issued, he had a premonition of what might happen.
His fingers twitched slightly as mist emerged from his palm, fighting against the black fog on the plant and purifying it like snow in the sun before he let the pot float back to the window sill.
In reality, when these homes were built, everything was quite simple and simple, and they did not have all the usual comforts in the city. After all, this was a village, and what they had the most was a bathroom.
But upon arrival of the three from the city, Su Wen renovated the house so that Tang Qinghong could stay there comfortably, spending a lot of money on their first day here to make the bathroom, toilet, toilet, as well as installing solar panels, internet connections, and all sorts of commodities.
The water from the baths flowed from the springs in the mountain behind them, and everything was very convenient.
It was already quite late, and he guessed that the three had already rested so he went down to take a bath.
Before he could enter, the door opened from within.
“You want to take a shower too?” Tang Qinghong was just wearing a loose bathrobe, a trickle of clear water dripping onto his muscular chest as he smiled lazily, emitting male hormones with his handsome face.
If it was someone else, they would probably be attracted to him beyond repair, but Gu Xiqiao did not appreciate it in the slightest. “Is it weird for me to shower?”
She was actually a bit nervous when she met her clear gaze, but the next moment her emotions turned into defeat upon seeing that she was completely unaffected by her charm, but she quickly covered it with a smile. “I want to ask about your relationship with my aunt .. Do you ... Shaoyuan's girlfriend?”
“No.” Gu Xiqiao passed by him and opened the bathroom door. “Are you not supposed to go? What do you want to watch?”
“Cough ..” Tang Qinghong has always had the image of being a man, and few people talk to him like this straight to his face. “Alright, I'll go. Good night.”
Gu Xiqiao nodded and closed the door behind him.
Outside the door, Tang Qinghong's gaze became darker and somewhat calculating as he looked towards the second floor. Was it the chi wave he felt, or was he wrong?
