Comprehensive film and television: Qingli

Chapter 265 Shaobai—Li Dongjun (4)

Gu Chen felt something was not right the further he walked. Why was he getting further and further off the track?

But he glanced at Shen Qingli, who was standing beside him without any reaction and concentrating on her journey, and finally suppressed all his doubts in his heart, feeling only sad.

If Western Chu had not been destroyed, the little girl would have been a pampered princess, living in a golden branch and jade leaves. How could she have fallen to the point of living in such a remote mountain.

The king was humiliated and the ministers died because they failed to keep their promises...

However, all his emotions vanished when he saw the majestic and magnificent Phoenix City.

No, when did a city appear here?

How come he didn't know before!

Also, why does this city wall look so new? It doesn't look like a relic of the old city, but rather like it was newly built!

With such doubts, he entered the city under the leadership of Shen Qingli. The moment he entered the city, he felt that something was wrong with the city.

It's so quiet here, it's even a little creepy!

"This is an empty city. Apart from where I live, there is nothing else here."

The first words Shen Qingli said after entering the city confirmed Gu Chen's guess and set off a huge wave in Gu Chen's heart.

In such a complete city belonging to the Phoenix Girls of Western Chu, perhaps the Phoenix flowers can really bloom freely here.

In an instant, Gu Chen felt like a rootless duckweed that had found its home. He felt that everything about this city was good, and even the old wounds on his body had healed a lot.

Shen Qingli looked at Gu Chen, whose mood had changed so quickly, and suddenly said, "I have set up a formation outside. No one can find this place unless I lead them."

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, she looked at Gu Chen seriously, "So, are you willing to stay and help me? From now on, this will be your home!"

Gu Chen vaguely felt that the little girl seemed to have known his identity for a long time. The accident and the innocent and pitiful little girl were all fooling him!

Although he believed this rationally, he still didn't quite believe it emotionally.

However, despite saying so, Gu Chen's heart not only did not have any negative emotions, but was filled with pride: Look, this is their Xi Chu's stunningly talented Phoenix Girl!

"Why me?"

Although he had accepted this possibility, he still wanted an answer.

Shen Qingli looked at him with unusual sincerity and said, "Because you are the Confucian Immortal of Western Chu—Gu Chen."

Because he is the sword immortal of Xi Chu, because he is Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn't know how long it had been since he had heard such words. Almost in an instant, all kinds of emotions surged into his heart. Although he was old, his eyes still turned red. He nodded solemnly, "Gu Chen is willing!"

In fact, neither of them was surprised by this answer, but when they actually talked about it, they felt different.

Shen Qingli smiled, took out the layout map of Phoenix City that she had drawn yesterday, and handed it to Gu Chen. "Then I'll leave Phoenix City in my hands, sir! I hope that Phoenix flowers will bloom all over Phoenix City in the future."

Phoenix? Is that the name of the city?

That’s a great name!

Gu Chen thought about it, took the blueprint from Shen Qingli's hand, opened it, and thought about how to plan and how Phoenix City would develop in the future.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that he still had some assets in Qiandong City. He now had a city to support and he couldn't give it up.

Especially the flamboyant flowers all over the yard. Although they are not blooming, they have all grown and can be transplanted here.

This is what he thought, and naturally he told Shen Qingli this too. His idea was also strongly supported by Shen Qingli.

Those things would basically be discarded if left there. Since Gu Chen couldn't bear to part with them, he would bring them all here.

"However, sir, you are not well yet, so leave the task of getting the things to me."

After she finished speaking, Shen Qingli saw Gu Chen's disapproving look, so she continued, "Don't worry, I'm very fast, and I can get it all back in one trip."

She said it so easily that the first thing that came to Gu Chen's mind was a unique skill that was said to have been lost long ago - the world in the sleeve.

However, before he could say anything, he saw Shen Qingli turned and left. She was no longer in his sight. He could only hear a faint voice saying, "Sir, please find a room to rest for a while. I'll be back soon."

Gu Chen then laughed and shook his head. It seemed that the little girl had been accommodating his speed all the way.

He found the nearest room to put down his luggage, then walked around the City Lord's Mansion, avoiding the main courtyard, to familiarize himself with the environment.

On the other side, Shen Qingli took out the sword and flew on it. Not long after, she arrived at the courtyard where Gu Chen lived in Qiandong City.

She didn't stay for long and put everything into the space, including the wine brewed under some trees.

Afterwards, she didn't rush back, but went to the shop.

Gu Chen’s things were too simple. Now that he was hers, she naturally had to buy him some more. Besides, he still had to recuperate!

In this way, Shen Qingli bought a carriage, made a lot of purchases in various shops, and even bought two tables of banquets in the best restaurant in the entire Qiandong City before driving the carriage out of the city.

After leaving the city gate and walking out of the official road, Shen Qingli immediately put the entire carriage into the space, took out the sword again, and flew back.

When she arrived in Phoenix City, Gu Chen was in the kitchen, looking at the few remaining ingredients and worrying about why their city lord would eat these things?

Or, should he go to the nearby mountains and forests to hunt some game?

"What are you thinking about, sir?"

Because he was so engrossed, Shen Qingli's words startled Gu Chen, "City Lord! You're back now?"

Shen Qingli looked at him and chuckled, "Well, I brought all your things back, and I've already bought food at the restaurant. The courtyard next to the main courtyard is specially prepared for you. There's still a long way to go, so you should settle down first."

Seeing that Shen Qingli had already made arrangements, Gu Chen left the kitchen, took back his luggage, and followed Shen Qingli to his yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a large open space behind the house, and he knew at a glance that it was reserved intentionally.

Moved by the emotion, Gu Chen saw Shen Qingli wave her hand and familiar phoenix flowers appeared out of thin air. With another wave of her hand, they were all planted in the large open space behind the house.

It was a coincidence, probably because Shen Qingli used spiritual power in this process, so all the phoenix flowers bloomed the moment they were planted!

The gorgeous and fiery phoenix flowers fell into Gu Chen's eyes, making his eyes moist and tears shed involuntarily.

He knew that the phoenix flower, like him, would bloom again in this city that belonged to their Phoenix Girl!
