Unexpectedly, they ran into Gu Zi and Gu Yiluo. They seemed to be arguing, but it appeared to be only Gu Yiluo who was having a hysterical outburst. Gu Zi calmly watched him until he was tired of yelling before saying, "Have you had enough? If you have, then behave yourself."
These words clearly angered Gu Yiluo again. He glared at him fiercely, then, as if remembering something, forced a smile.
"I visited my mother a few days ago, and guess what she said." A wicked smile spread across his pale face.
Gu Zi's expression then subtly changed.
Gu Yiluo observed his expression with apparent enjoyment, then said, word by word, "She said you'll die a horrible death."
Gu Zi's expression returned to calm, and he said in a deep voice, "You actually believe what a madman says?"
Gu Yiluo laughed and said, "She's gone mad, but she was driven mad there."
Gu Zi's expression remained unchanged. "You're talking nonsense too." As she spoke, she reached out to grab his hand.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yiluo seemed to have been greatly stimulated and started shouting wildly.
"Don't touch me."
Gu Zi's hand paused slightly.
Gu Yiluo looked up at him, pursing her lips. "... Do you know what people outside think of me?"
Gu Zi's eyes flickered.
"... plaything." Gu Yiluo pronounced these two words clearly, his smile almost devouring him.
Gu Zi was silent for a moment, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed Xu Chun, who looked extremely embarrassed, and Xie Jianyuan behind him. It seemed that the two had unintentionally witnessed this scene and were about to turn around and leave, but he stopped them.
"Wait a moment."
Xu Chun paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, we didn't mean to overhear."
Gu Zi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You came here to sign a contract?"
Xu Chun was slightly surprised, because Gu Zi, who was extremely busy, actually knew about such a small endorsement contract.
You know?
Gu Zi nodded. "It was the person I recommended to them."
Xu Chun didn't know what to say, "This is really..."
Gu Zi glanced at Xie Jianyuan behind him and said in a deep voice, "No need to thank me, I also have cooperation with the Xie Household."
Xu Chun then realized that she had only secured the endorsement deal Xie Jianyuan.
After that, Gu Zi spoke to him for a few more minutes. Xu Chun had a good impression of him, and she didn't know where the sense of familiarity came from.
Gu Yiluo silently glanced at Gu Zi, then her gaze fell on Xu Chun's eyes. Suddenly, she smiled enigmatically and said something that interrupted their conversation.
"You all have the same eyes."
Chapter 88 Shen Zhu
Xu Chun was slightly taken aback. She looked at Gu Zi's pupils, which were indeed the same very light amber color as her own.
Xie Jianyuan smiled, and said thoughtfully, "I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out."
Gu Zi's gaze fell on Xu Chun's eyes. After a moment of silent eye contact, he frowned slightly.
After Gu Yiluo finished speaking, he hummed happily, as if seeing Gu Zi's confused and furrowed brows made him feel much better.
Xu Chun snapped out of her daze and jokingly said politely, "I guess you could call it fate."
Gu Zi nodded, tacitly agreeing with the answer.
Gu Yiluo pursed his lips again, seemingly bored that he hadn't seen the scene he expected. He lazily put his hands behind his head and prepared to turn and leave.
Seeing this, Gu Zi quickly told Xu Chun and Xie Jianyuan that he would go first, then followed Gu Yiluo and disappeared from their sight.
Although he was somewhat curious, Xu Chun didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of the Gu family brothers, after all, he was an outsider.
Xie Jianyuan, however, seemed to suddenly become interested in the Gu family's affairs and actually began to investigate Gu Zi's matter. Xu Chun saw this but didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a whim.
The filming of "The Demon-Subduing Tribulation" is progressing very smoothly. Because it is a web series, the production cycle is short, and by mid-September, filming had already reached the mid-stage.
By this time, Jiuli had grown up and gradually developed special feelings for his master Fan Wu had taken him in.
Xu Chun glanced at the scene to be filmed today and discovered that it included a bathing scene. It was only after accidentally witnessing Fan Wu bathing that Jiuli became aware of her own feelings.
Although she had filmed intimate scenes involving undressing before, there were no other people around then, so it wasn't too bad for Xu Chun. But this wasn't a bed scene, and it was impossible to clear the set, so she had to overcome her shyness. After all, being an actor doesn't give slow-to-warm-up people much time to adapt to the environment; you just have to get into character quickly.
"Ready! Action!" After the director gave the order, everyone focused intently on the footage in the camera.
It was late at night, and in the misty stone pool, snow-white locust blossoms drifted lightly onto the water's surface. Through the mist, a slender figure could be vaguely seen.
Moonlight poured down, and the mist gradually dissipated, revealing a very young man, none other than Fan Wu, the youngest sect leader in the history of the Azure Splendor Sect.
His eyes and brows were gentle and calm, with a red mole between his eyebrows. His black hair was damp, with a few strands clinging wetly to his fair cheeks.
"Come out." As if sensing something, Fan Wu suddenly turned his head to look behind the artificial hill and said in a calm voice.
After a while, a tall figure slowly emerged from behind the artificial hill. The man was dressed in black, with handsome and cold features, and he remained silent with his lips tightly pressed together.
"What is it?" Fan Wu didn't show any surprise, only smiled slightly and asked.
Jiuli forced his gaze away from that large expanse of snow-white skin, lowered his head, and said, "Master, you just came out of seclusion. I was worried about your injuries, so I rushed over, but I didn't expect..."
Fan Wu then noticed the jade bottle in his hand, wondering what kind of miraculous medicine it contained.
