Chapter 1793 - 1796: The Stunning School Beauty's Anticipation
Looking at the butler in his uniform, his collar pristine white, Shen Qiang was stunned, because in reality, even under Bianyi's strong request, which forced Shen Qiang to reduce manpower, Gui Shu was not on Shen Qiang's selected list.But now, not only had he come, but just standing calmly by the car made Shen Qiang inexplicably feel that all the members of Heshenghe present seemed to have an indescribable reverence towards him.
Ji Wei, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, even early on, did not dare to show the slightest impudence in front of Gui Shu.
Ye Guyun, who was lawless and liked to occupy the restaurant, inexplicably feared Gui Shu upon arrival, unlike when Shen Qiang spoke to her, where she wouldn't take it to heart.
So Shen Qiang always vaguely felt that Gui Shu was not simple.
However, Shen Qiang knew from the start that his true body was a big sea turtle, a true old demon, so the demons revered him, which was quite normal. After all, he was the butler of Heshenghe, with hundreds of Great Demons; if he had no skills, he couldn't be the butler.
What surprised Shen Qiang, however.
Was that from the Illusion Demolition Group, the big swordsman deceived by Shen Qiang to join Heshenghe, to the current manager of the Datong River Beijing store, both inexplicably showed reverence and stood quietly behind the butler Gui Shu, not daring to overstep at all.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Qiang smiled slightly.
Gui Shu smiled and said, "It's what I should do."
At the same time, Shen Qiang instinctively activated the Observation Skill, and then Shen Qiang couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
Because when Heshenghe was first established, at Gui Shu's arrival, Shen Qiang had observed him; back then he could clearly see his true body was a big sea turtle and discern his age. But now, as Shen Qiang's cultivation improved, theoretically he should see more clearly.
But at this time, Shen Qiang could only see clearly that his true body was a big sea turtle, and all other information had unexpectedly turned into unknowns.
This made Shen Qiang feel astonished.
But after a slight smile, Shen Qiang still nodded and got into Ji Wei's car.
The car smoothly headed towards the airport.
After erecting a barrier to ensure that all spoken words wouldn't be overheard outside the car, Shen Qiang calmly said, "Ji Wei, who called Gui Shu here? Was it Chu Qing or..."
"Gui Shu requested it himself," Ji Wei said.
Shen Qiang frowned, his gaze shifting to Ke Bizhu, who showed a clueless expression.
After a slight hesitation, Shen Qiang picked up the phone and called Chu Qing.
"Gui Shu is with me, did you know?"
Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing smiled upon hearing this and said, "Yes, he requested to go by himself. If you want to know why, I think it probably has to do with the Sea Demons who came to the provincial city to greet us a while back. At the time, Bianyi went there intending to kill them all with no survivors, but later, Gui Shu arrived and then..."
After a moment of hesitation, the Beautiful Demon Fox said, "Bianyi changed his mind and let the Sea Demons go. Ever since, Gui Shu has been calm, as usual, but when they went to you, Gui Shu got into the car with them. So I think his uncharacteristic behavior probably has something to do with the Great Sea Demon's intervention to come to the provincial city to fight us. He doesn't seem to want to say more, and I can't push further."
Shen Qiang nodded, then said, "I understand."
Looking at Shen Qiang hanging up the phone and lost in thought, Ke Bizhu said in surprise, "What are you thinking? Gui Shu wouldn't harm you, I can feel it."
Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I know, I was just thinking that sometimes I seem to overlook the people around me too much."
Ke Bizhu laughed.
Gazing out of the car window, Shen Qiang used True Yuan to turn on the car's radio.
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers across Huaxia, deep within Medicine King Valley, Qin Yurou, dressed in a white gown with an immortal aura, her face absolutely beautiful, sat by a clear creek within Medicine King Valley where one could see the fish swimming.
The dazzling sunlight speckled down through the leaves beside her, illuminating her, inexplicably adding a hint of youthful restlessness to her serene and delicate demeanor.
"In twenty more minutes, Shen Qiang's scheduled flight will take off," Qin Yurou, in her white dress and beautiful eyes expectantly, said, "In just six hours, he can land, and in another hour he can reach the Medicine King Inn, which means, under normal circumstances, we'll be able to see him in seven and a half hours."
A perky girl named Abi, swimming in a swimsuit in the deep pool by the creek, swam over, got ashore, pulled a snow-white bath towel over herself, then sat cross-legged beside Qin Yurou on the sun-warmed marble slab, and laughed, "Young Master, if you miss him so much, just give him a call."
Qin Yurou's face turned slightly red, and she coyly said, "Oh, go away, I am not missing him, just calculating time."
Abi laughed with eyes curved like crescents, then lowered her voice and said, "Young Master, you've learned to lie without blushing, give me the phone, I'll call for you."
"No way." Qin Yurou's face turned red, and she nervously yet shyly said, "Girls can't be that forward, we'll be laughed at!"
Abi blinked, then burst out laughing: "What's this, didn't you say the Valley Master agreed? As long as Shen Qiang performs well at this elixir competition, he wouldn't prevent you from being with Shen Qiang. He's so amazing, he definitely won't let us down, so what's wrong with calling him."
Qin Yurou shyly said, "Anyway, he's coming; I won't call. If I do, Shen Qiang will think I'm not reserved, and I'm a big girl, calling him all the time is embarrassing."
Abi, surprised: "Young Master, are you silly? Rather than feeling embarrassed, I'd prefer to know what he's doing now."
"I know." Qin Yurou, her beautiful eyes shy, said, "He's either at the airport or on the way to the airport, so I won't call."
Abi laughed.
The somewhat shy Qin Yurou frowned: "What are you laughing at? Besides, my feelings are so complicated now, I really want to win against Shen Qiang at the elixir competition, but I also hope he beats me."
Abi laughed so hard her eyes curved into crescents, and said, "Young Master, you're overthinking, Shen Qiang's incredible pills aren't easy to beat, I think your elixir pills won't stand a chance."
Qin Yurou hesitated and said, "To evaluate whether an elixir is good, it's not only about its efficacy but also about the availability of ingredients and whether the cost is too high. Although Shen Qiang's elixir has an unreliable name, its efficacy should be impressive, but if the ingredients are hard to find, then it's nothing but an illusion, so it might not win."
Abi laughed, charmingly said, "You're thinking too much. I just think, if Shen Qiang wins, we'll openly leave with him, and if he loses, we'll sneakily go to Heshenghe, hmm, and choose a windy, moonless night, ideal for eloping."
Instantly, campus beauty Qin Yurou's face reddened to the root of her neck, shyly mocked: "You cheeky girl, talking nonsense again!" But she thought to herself: "This idea... seems not bad!"
