Chapter 352: Chapter 353: Insect Gu Immortal (Fifth Update)

Mr. Xue’s wedding caused a tremendous sensation.

Even though many did not attend the scene, countless people still watched the entire process of the wedding through various channels.

The grand scale of the wedding goes without saying, but what was even more coveted was the romance that seemed to overflow, which left many girls envious.

For a while, the slogan “When marrying, marry a man like Mr. Xue” became very popular online.

However, while there was a buzz of excitement outside,

Mr. Xue, An Yan, and their two little girls had hidden away in their old home.

Of course, this place lacked the luxury and spaciousness of Number One Tian Villa,

but the value it represented was irreplaceable by any other.

Especially when the media was surrounding and blocking off areas, just to get more information about Mr. Xue,

the peace here became even more precious.

The day after the wedding, Zhao Xuehui and others returned to Zhongdu first.

They were now the senior executives of Tianyuan, and a single day away would cause significant losses.

Leaving with them were Chen Xiuhe, Wei Ruyan, and others.

After they left, Mr. Xue’s cozy home still seemed very lively.

For example, Tang Xuan’Er, Fan Mengxue, and Song Yi would come over every day to freeload meals.

Laughter and cheerful voices always filled the small room.

Until three days later, in an early morning when no one was around, Fan Mengxue quietly left Zhongdu and returned to Europe.

Tang Xuan’Er also went back to continue her work.

Everything gradually returned to normal.

Only Song Yi did not leave, and that day he found Mr. Xue.

“Sir, the Xiangjiang auction is in a few days. Shall we go now?”

Mr. Xue nodded, “Alright!”

As matters in Beijiang had already been handled, it was time to take his wife and children for a cozy honeymoon trip.

Since Song Yi mentioned the auction in Xiangjiang might be interesting, they would make Xiangjiang their first stop.

And just as Mr. Xue and Song Yi were preparing to set off for Xiangjiang,

In a luxurious hotel,

“Master Long, we’ve just received news that the Immortal Lu Xia has also arrived in Xiangjiang yesterday!”

“Understood, you may leave,” said Long Guanyu indifferently.

“Yes!”

After the messenger had left, a serious expression appeared on the face of Long Guanyu, which otherwise seemed as still as an ancient well or a Buddha statue.

“Lu Xia, what are you doing in Xiangjiang instead of playing with insects in Miao Immortal Valley? Could it be… you’re also interested in this auction?” Long Guanyu murmured to himself.

At that moment, someone else knocked on the door.

“Come in,” said Long Guanyu with his eyes closed.

When the door opened, a man and a woman entered.

The man was in his fifties, portly with a big face. If the media were present, they would likely recognize him as a famous tycoon from Xiangjiang, Li Hou.

The woman was young and beautiful, a popular actress from Xiangjiang, Si Jin.

Upon seeing Master Long sitting on the Taishi Chair with closed eyes, they both quickly bowed in respect.

“Master Long!”

“Tell me, what brings you here?” said Long Guanyu indifferently.

Li Hou and Si Jin looked at each other before Si Jin spoke timidly, “Master, I would like to ask for your help in dealing with someone!”

“Oh? Who?”

“A little wretch who always suppresses me!” As she said this, a look of resentment flashed across Si Jin’s face.

“Ten million!” Long Guanyu said directly, too unconcerned to care about their grudges.

A hesitant look crossed Si Jin’s face; ten million was no small sum.

Then she spoke in a deep voice, “Master, if you kill the target, it won’t arouse suspicions from others, will it?”

“Are you questioning my ability?” Long Guanyu frowned.

A bloody and fierce aura enveloped her.

Si Jin trembled and quickly said, “Of course not! I was just asking! Master, could it be a bit cheaper?”

“Cheaper? Haha, you could pay five thousand yuan to hire a junkie to deal with your opponent if you want cheap!” Long Guanyu said and then closed her eyes.

Si Jin clenched her teeth, “Ten million it is! As long as you kill the target, everything else is negotiable!”

“Give me the birthdate!” After receiving the money, Long Guanyu said indifferently.

Si Jin, who had come prepared, handed over a piece of paper with the enemy’s birthdate written on it.

After taking it, Long Guanyu glanced at it and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Gong Xiaoqing, the actress who just won the Best Newcomer of the Year award?”

Si Jin bowed her head deeply.

“Alright, you may leave now. In no more than three days, you will read about her sudden death in the newspapers!”

Si Jin hesitated, wanting to say something, but Li Hou had already grabbed her and flashed a smile at Long Guanyu.

“In that case, Master Long, we’ll take our leave!”

Long Guanyu, with her eyes closed, murmured an acknowledgment.

Only after Si Jin and Li Hou left the hotel did Si Jin say, unable to help herself, “Boss, can this Master Long really do it? That’s ten million after all. What if he can’t deliver?”

Li Hou chuckled, “What do you know? Since Master Long arrived in Xiangjiang three months ago, he’s acted more than a dozen times and has never broken his word! Moreover, his methods are unfathomable, employing the JIangtou arts from Nanyang—extremely sinister! If you had kept asking questions just now and annoyed him, even you wouldn’t have been spared!”

Si Jin drew a sharp breath and dared not speak anymore.

Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Long Guanyu, who was resting with her eyes closed, saw the paper in her hand suddenly ignite with a ghostly fire and then vanish.

This was a filthy alley in Xiangjiang.

The ground was littered with various nauseating garbage and sewage.

Lu Xia walked slowly through the alley and came to a tightly closed house at the end, knocking gently on the door.

“Who’s there?” The door opened, and a man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks asked impatiently from behind the iron grille.

Lu Xia handed over a piece of paper, speaking heavily accented local dialect, “I’m looking for Ah Fei!”

The man sized up Lu Xia.

Lu Xia’s clothes were cut from rough homespun that had been washed to a faded grey, making her appear very rustic.

The man couldn’t help but look disdainful and said haughtily, “Who are you to ask for our Brother Fei!”

“Just tell him someone from the valley has come!” Lu Xia, rubbing her rough hands from frequent labor, said with an honest smile.

“Alright, you wait!” The man walked off impatiently.

Lu Xia looked around at the surroundings and said with some helplessness, “Ah Fei has actually settled in such a place. Staying here too long will inevitably wear away his gu heart!”

Ah Fei was only in his twenties, his face full of unruly defiance. At this moment, he was staring intently at a horse race on the television.

The man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks came inside.

“Brother Fei, someone outside is looking for you!”

Ah Fei frowned and said impatiently, “Who is it? Can’t you see I’m busy here?”

“Don’t know them!”

“If you don’t know them, tell them to get lost!” Ah Fei said irritably, tearing up a losing betting slip.

“Alright!” The man turned to leave.
