Chapter 120 Gu Lang (2/2)
Gu Lang no longer looked at Zhou Yuan, his gaze turning towards Yaoyao as he smiled. “I still haven’t asked for your name miss.”
Yaoyao pointed at the damaged texts in the arms of the servant girls behind him and inquired, “Are they all for me?”
Gu Lang grinned. “Of course.”
“Keep them.” Yaoyao looked towards Zhou Yuan.
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched for a moment, before he walked forward, received the damaged texts from the servant girls and kept them all into his Universe bag.
The smile on Gu Lang’s face grew even wider when he saw Yaoyao accept his gifts. It seemed that he had already accomplished the first step. The girl in green would soon become his plaything.
“Hehe, miss, you’re quite an unfamiliar face and I’m guessing that you just arrived here. How about I be your host and show you around.” Gu Lang beamed.
“Let’s go.”
However, almost immediately after he finished speaking, Yaoyao nonchalantly signalled to Zhou Yuan, before turning around to leave.
The expression on Gu Lang’s face could not help but turn rigid, a little dazed by this turn of events. That’s not how the script should be… shouldn’t the other party proceed to the next step after accepting his gift?
What was this? Leaving right away after eating?
Zhou Yuan cast a sideways glance at Gu Lang. Did this fellow really believe that Yaoyao was someone who would so succumb so easily to sweet words and gifts? In her eyes, it was your honour for her to take your things…
Zhou Yuan inwardly shook his head, paying no further attention to Gu Lang as he caught up to Yaoyao.
Gu Lang quickly came back to his senses. How could he allow the meat that was almost at his lips to escape? He swiftly walked forward and cut in front of Yaoyao.
“Is there anything else?” Yaoyao frowned, indifference in her eyes as she looked towards him.
Gu Lang froze momentarily. Soon after, his eyes seemed to flicker in thought as he revealed a warm smile and said, “The fact that the two of you have arrived here can be said to be fate of sorts. How about this, my clan’s Spirit Refining Tower will be opening tomorrow, and numerous geniuses hope to enter to train their Spirits. There is, however, a limited amount of places. If the two of you are interested, I can gift two spots to you as a token to the start of our friendship.”
Gu Lang fished out two bronze tokens from his sleeves. The Gu clan insignia and a black tower had been engraved on the tokens.
“Enter the Spirit Refining Tower?” Zhou Yuan was instantly taken aback, shock in his eyes as he looked towards Gu Lang. The Spirit Refining Tower was the Gu clan’s treasure. Were they really willing to open it to outsiders?
Would the Gu clan actually be so kind?
While Zhou Yuan was still in shock, Yaoyao’s faint voice was transmitted into his ears. “Accept it. That Spirit Refining Tower is a little interesting after all.”
Zhou Yuan shot a look at Yaoyao. Given how smart the latter was, she likely also had suspicions about Gu Lang’s motives. But she probably had her own plans since she had uttered such words.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan grinned at Gu Lang and said, “Then I’ll have to thank young master Gu.”
He reached out and received the bronze tokens.
Yaoyao still did not say a single word to Gu Lang, merely sweeping an indifferent gaze at him, before her long legs began to walk towards Precious Treasures Pavillion’s exit.
Gu Lang watched Yaoyao’s and Zhou Yuan’s leaving figures as the kind smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a chilling coldness.
“Go find out where they are staying, and make sure they don’t sneak away. My gifts aren’t so easily accepted.”
The silver fan in Gu Lang’s hand gently smacked his palm as a strange smile grew from the corners of his lips.
“No one can reject a spot to enter the Spirit Refining Tower.”
“However… there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world…”
