Since the last mishap, Ming Huaijin knew that Gu Yao had been able to take human form, granting people the right to freely enter and exit various parts of the Prince's Mansion.

Including his study.

To outsiders, Gu Yao was said to be his retainer and advisor, but everyone in the Prince's mansion thought Gu Yao was their Prince's lover.

He is half a master.

After all, what advisor would dare to wander around outside wearing their master's clothes?

If there is one, then he is definitely not a proper staff member.

Take Gu Yao for example. He's more like a master than the master in the mansion. Ming Huaijin coaxes him and is happy to indulge him.

It spoils people so much that they become lawless.

He argued with Ming Huaijin every day, but Ming Huaijin never seemed displeased.

Gu Yao responded that the one who initiates the conflict is despicable.

It was always Ming Huaijin who started the physical contact with him.

And so, today I put a red thread and jade bracelet on his wrist again.

Gu Yao was in a good mood today and didn't argue with him. She sat on the soft couch in the study and leisurely read a storybook.

It wasn't because he poached chefs from Xianweilou to make him pastries.

How could he possibly be bought off by such a small snack?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Gu Yao picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite; it was fragrant and sweet.

Really fragrant.

Ming Huaijin secretly glanced at his little fox and saw that his eyes were squinting with happiness. He felt that this deal was really worthwhile.

It would be even more perfect if we ignored Gong Yangruo's wailing and howling.

But who cares?

That's just the performance of Xianweilou.

Ming Huaijin felt that he was becoming more and more like a tyrannical ruler.

Looking at Gu Yao's face, Ming Huaijin thought, "So be it, he's a tyrant."

Anyway, little foxes are quite easy to raise.

Those burning gazes seemed to want to pierce through Gu Yao and devour him alive.

Gu Yao remained calm and composed, pretending not to see anything.

Fortunately, Ming Huaijin's infatuated behavior did not last long before it was interrupted by the butler's knocking on the door.

"Your Highness, General Shen has arrived."

Ming Huaijin immediately became serious and instructed the steward to bring the person over.

Gu Yao couldn't just lie there anymore; with guests arriving, he had to maintain a certain image.

He switched to another ledger and continued reading. Looking at the unfinished storybook, he felt a pang of reluctance and sighed silently.

I was planning to check the accounts tonight.

Forget it, let's finish watching it as soon as possible and call it a day.

Be brave and fearless in the face of difficulties.

Gu Yao withdrew his gaze and focused intently on the ledger in his hands.

Shen Yi sighed as he stood outside the door. He never expected that in less than two years, he would be the one visiting this "jinxed" prince.

He wasn't an ignorant person. The Shen family was powerful, and the Prince of Ping had shown his prowess in the struggle for the throne. In addition, the person above him had always been eyeing the Shen family, whose achievements threatened the emperor.

A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve.

Nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, this Prince Ping's methods are enough to make the Shen family fight back.

Composing himself, Shen Yi bowed respectfully.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Gu Yao was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time he had seen Shen Yi so well-behaved.

Ming Huaijin waved his hand, "General Shen, there's no need for such formalities."

Shen Yi looked up and caught sight of a familiar figure.

She was the person he had been longing for and had been searching for for many days without success.

Gu Yao smiled and nodded at him as a greeting.

Shen Yi was also very happy. He thought that the capital city was so big that they would never meet again.

Seeing Gu Yao here now, he thought about it for a moment and understood.

It turns out that the "Mr. Gu" who was rumored to be so miraculous was actually Gu Yao.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi bowed to Gu Yao again, "Last time we parted in haste, and I haven't had a chance to thank Young Master Gu for saving my life. I never imagined that Young Master Gu was Mr. Gu."

Gu Yao's expression tightened as he felt a gaze fixed on him, causing his body to stiffen slightly.

Oh no, I forgot to tell Ming Huaijin about this last time.

The system watched the show while snacking, since there weren't many opportunities to see its host make a fool of himself.

He looked at Gu Yao's profile, seeing that timid look again, and a sudden idea flashed in his mind.

He finally realized what his host resembled.

It's just like a philandering playboy who's afraid of his wife and goes out to seduce young girls, only to be discovered by his own wife.

He felt guilty and timid.

The more the system looked at it, the more it resembled the description, and it couldn't stop nodding in agreement.

Give yourself a thumbs up for your cleverness.

Upon hearing this, Ming Huaijin turned to look at Gu Yao with a smile, his voice gentle, "I was unaware that the two of you had such a connection?"

His eyes were filled with coldness, and you could tell what he meant at a glance.

Aren't you going to explain this to me?

Gu Yao shrank back under Ming Huaijin's death stare.

The system dropped all the potato chips it was holding.

Dumbfounded.jpg

This look is even more like it.

He could only silently pray for his host.

Gu Yao was about to bite the bullet and start explaining when the dim-witted child spoke first.

He even looked excited.

He was incredibly talkative, his words coming out like a machine gun, one sentence after another.

It's like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather; there's no stopping them.

"Young Master Gu saved my life,"

First Blood!

"I had a very pleasant conversation with Young Master Gu,"

Double Kill!

"We appreciate each other,"

Triple Kill!

—"They're almost like bosom friends."

Quadra Kill!

—"Mr. Gu was still reluctant to leave when he was about to depart."

Penta Kill!

Five consecutive critical hits!

A decisive victory!

How come the child of a military general has such good eloquence at a time like this?

Gu Yaosheng felt utterly hopeless, his mind replaying death sounds.

Glancing at Ming Huaijin's increasingly dark complexion, one could sense the impending storm from afar.

Gu Yao felt deeply that his life was over!

The simpleton got more and more excited as he talked, his face flushed with excitement, and his gaze at Gu Yao was both intense and shy.

Ming Huaijin's face darkened even more.

"It seems the two of you hit it off immediately?"

Gu Yao tried to salvage the situation, but Shen Yi intercepted him again.

"Of course, Mr. Gu and I hit it off immediately."

Gu Yao's face was indifferent.

I'm numb ^_^|||.

Destroy it.

Why does he talk so fast?

They were just having a normal meal, and he casually inquired about the Shen family's situation.

How come, in Shen Yi's words, she is now the one who can't live without him?

It felt like the two of them could be getting married and entering the bridal chamber any second now.

Gu Yao decided that they should try to salvage the situation. This topic was no longer suitable to discuss. If they continued, Ming Huaijin's jealousy would explode and flood the entire Prince's Mansion.

"What brings Young Master Shen to visit His Highness today?"

Shen Yi slapped his forehead, successfully diverting the topic to the message his elders wanted to pass on to Ming Huaijin.

Ming Huaijin glanced at Gu Yao, knowing that important matters were more pressing.

He could wait until Shen Yi left before doing these things.

Wait! Wait! Ask!

The two discussed matters in Jiangnan in detail, and Gu Yao listened with an appreciative look in his eyes.

No wonder he tutored the man one-on-one.

His apprentice is amazing!

Gu Yao emptied his mind and chatted with the system in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was nothing more than praising Ming Huaijin over and over again.

In the end, they were all just praising themselves.

To summarize the main idea is,

—He taught well, which is why Ming Huaijin is so strong now.

The system dared not speak, and could only nod incessantly.
