80: Chapter 80: Just Friends! Hidden Dangers

"Wow!"

She pulled Gu Huahua along, and the two little girls huddled together, staring intently at Ru Shuang!

"So pretty! Isn't she just too pretty!"

"She's even better-looking than the people in paintings!"

"Gu Chen, who is this?"

Gu Chen's face flushed instantly. "This is Miss Ru, my friend."

"A friend? Just a friend?" Gu Qingqing tilted her head, looking at Gu Chen, then at Ru Shuang.

"What kind of friend?"

"Just a friend."

Gu Qingqing didn't believe it and leaned in close to Ru Shuang, looking her up and down.

"Big sister, what's your name?"

Ru Shuang felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by the two little girls. "Ru Shuang."

Gu Qingqing had a sweet tongue. "Sister Ru Shuang! What are you to Gu Chen?"

Ru Shuang's face flushed instantly. "A friend."

Gu Qingqing blinked. "A friend? But Uncle Clan Chief said that Gu Chen is getting married!"

Gu Chen almost choked on his own saliva!

"What the hell?"

"How come I don't know about this?"

"What is that unreliable old man up to now?"

"Don't tell me he found me a blind date? What if Miss Ru finds out? What am I supposed to do?!"

"What marriage? Who said that?"

Gu Qingqing looked innocent. "Uncle Clan Chief said so! He said you brought a wife back, and he wanted us to come see what our sister-in-law looks like!"

Gu Huahua nodded along. "Yeah, yeah! Uncle Clan Chief even prepared lots of betrothal gifts; they're piled up filling an entire room!"

Gu Chen's face turned bright red!

"What the heck, isn't that just Miss Ru?"

"That's acceptable!"

"Stop spouting nonsense! Miss Ru is just a friend!"

"If you're just friends, why are you standing so close?" Gu Qingqing pointed at the shadows of the two people on the ground.

They were very close, almost touching.

Gu Chen looked down, then immediately walked to the side and started whistling.

Ru Shuang saw it too and hurriedly moved aside.

The two little girls exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously.

"Sister-in-law is shy!"

"Not sister-in-law! A friend!" Gu Chen gestured anxiously.

"If you're friends, why are you blushing?"

"I'm hot!"

"It's autumn."

Gu Chen fell silent.

Ru Shuang sat to the side, also blushing uncontrollably.

Just then, her grandfather's voice rang in her mind. "Girl, those two little girls! They are actually Saints!"

Ru Shuang was stunned.

"What?"

"And they're only eleven or twelve years old! Have you ever seen an eleven or twelve-year-old Saint?"

Ru Shuang hadn't.

Not only had she never seen one, she'd never even heard of it!

"How is this possible!"

"The Gu Family is truly not simple."

Ru Shuang looked at the two little girls. They were chattering around Gu Chen, pulling his hair one moment and tugging at his clothes the next, having the time of their lives!

Eleven or twelve-year-old Saints!

In Central State, they would be Prodigies among Prodigies!

No! It should be impossible for anyone to reach this level!

But it seems like it's quite normal in the Gu Family?

Why is that?

She didn't understand!

"Sister-in-law!" Gu Qingqing suddenly leaned over and took Ru Shuang's hand.

"We are not sister-in-law..." Ru Shuang tried to explain, but was immediately interrupted.

"You will be sooner or later!" Gu Qingqing said with a giggle. "Uncle Clan Chief said that any girl Gu Chen takes a fancy to won't be able to escape!"

Ru Shuang suddenly didn't know how to explain.

They really were just friends...

Gu Chen was anxious on the side. "You two, stop messing around! If you keep at it, I'll send you back!"

Gu Qingqing was righteous. "Old Ancestor said we can't run around, but we can follow you! Wherever you go, we go!"

Gu Chen had a headache.

"Damn it!"

Last time in the Secret Realm, they agreed to follow him, and then they ran all over the place!

Killing all the way!

Now, he couldn't hit or scold these two little girls, and he couldn't drive them away either.

But it wasn't a question of hitting them anymore. These two little girls were already Saints; Gu Chen couldn't even beat them!

"Forget it. We leave tomorrow morning. Don't sleep in." Gu Chen sighed.

"We won't, we won't!" The two little girls said in unison.

Ru Shuang looked at them and couldn't help but smile.

These two little girls, although noisy, were very cute.

And, when they called her sister-in-law, she actually didn't dislike it.

"Girl, this Gu Family is even deeper than we thought! Eleven or twelve-year-old Saints... just think about how many resources the Gu Family must have to produce them!"

Ru Shuang said nothing; she dared not think about it.

How vast must the resources inside be to stack someone up to a Saint!

Her grandfather's tone suddenly lightened. "This is a good thing! The stronger the Gu Family is, the greater the hope for Grandfather's recovery!"

Ru Shuang nodded. The Gu Family being powerful was a good thing after all.

Even if she were to be with him...

She looked at Gu Chen, who was bickering with the two little girls, his face red and neck thick.

This person, who was fearless and a champion outside, was completely managed by two little girls at home.

She suddenly felt that the Gu Family must be a very interesting place!

She felt a bit of anticipation, though she was more looking forward to her grandfather recovering his body!

Gu Qingshan and Li Shuangxu were also laughing happily on the side; they were two grown men, so it wasn't appropriate for them to speak up.

But those two little girls didn't care about that; they just kept talking coolly.

This made Gu Chen very troubled, but it was a good thing after all!

Somehow, he had to let Miss Ru know that Gu Chen liked her!

The next day, the group walked out of Zuixian Restaurant.

Many people watched their departing figures, but they didn't dare to make a move. Although they coveted the Great Emperors Inheritance, they still wanted to live.

Three Peak Quasi-Emperors were not something to joke about!

Just like that, the group set off on the road home!

But in the distance, Elder Cangwu stood on a hilltop, looking at the eight black dots, his brows furrowing slightly.

There were several more people.

He smiled, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter; just a few more pieces of prey!"

However, his gaze fell on the two women in white at the very back!

Yue Qingshuang and Yue Qingxue.

Elder Cangwu's pupils constricted slightly.

He wasn't marveling at their cultivation.

It was their beauty that made him feel excited.

"So luscious! Even more luscious than that Spirit Body, and bigger too!"

Elder Cangwu muttered, "Interesting!"

He didn't think too much, pulling back his gaze. "Follow them first and see where that Gu Family actually is!"

He started walking, following them.

He was neither slow nor fast, maintaining a distance of a hundred miles.

A Family that could cultivate three Peak Quasi-Emperors meant that this Family's foundation was unfathomable!

The resources inside must be countless!

Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Treasures, and so on!

Any one of them would be enough for him to use for hundreds of years!

"Once I obtain the Taiyin Spirit Body, the Great Emperors Inheritance, and use the demon emperor bead to gain the power of a Great Emperor..." Greed flashed in Elder Cangwu's eyes.

"By then, the resources of that Gu Family will also be mine!"

He licked his lips and quickened his pace.

"Killing three birds with one stone! No, four!"

"The Taiyin Spirit Body, the Great Emperors Inheritance, the Gu Family's resources, and those two little girls!"

"With these, let alone a Peak Quasi-Emperor, even a true Great Emperor is not impossible!"

The more he thought, the more excited he became, and his pace grew faster and faster.

But when he got within a hundred miles, he slowed down again.

He couldn't follow too closely; those three Peak Quasi-Emperor guardians were not to be trifled with.

He couldn't follow too far either; if he lost them, it would be a huge loss.

Elder Cangwu smiled. "Take it slow! You can't escape anyway!"
