Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 187 I'll still beat you up

At this moment, Xie Hongyi behind her was no longer able to marvel at how intimate Gu Qingyue and Rong Qingqing were getting along.

What shocked her even more was Gu Qingyue's skill.

Having frequented brothels for many years, she had seen countless chivalrous figures in the martial arts world, engaging in countless fights, schemes, and brawls in the streets.

She dared to say that her master's martial arts skills had definitely reached the level of a master!

But he's clearly still very young! What a genius!

"Tell me about Yulouchun," Gu Qingyue asked as she walked.

Yulouchun was the name Gu Qingyue gave to the brothel. Now that the renovations were in their final stages, she wanted to hear Xie Hongyi's thoughts on the future of Yulouchun.

Meanwhile, the young boy and Yu Mo had already met Liu Feng in the martial arts arena in the backyard.

Liu Feng accompanied Gu Qingyue back to the residence this time in order to select a group of teenagers for outdoor training.

With a large number of people involved, both the Gu residence and Mingyue Villa are conducting training simultaneously.

"Senior brother!" The young boy saw Liu Feng and ran over to him.

After whispering something in Liu Feng's ear, the two of them looked at Yu Mo together.

"Are you from Nanzhao?" Liu Feng's voice was somewhat cold.

Most of the children here had been killed by the Nanzhao people, so when they heard Liu Feng's voice, the boys all looked over with unfriendly eyes.

“No, I am from the Great Chu, and my maternal grandmother came from the Liluo tribe of Nanzhao,” Yu Mo said neither humbly nor arrogantly, showing no fear or attempt to conceal anything despite the hostile gazes of the crowd.

"Come with me," Liu Feng knew perfectly well what was going on.

However, Yu Mo's appearance is too distinctive, especially her eyes.

His failure to ask questions allowed everyone to speculate wildly, which was detrimental to unity.

So he asked first, giving Yu Mo a chance to explain.

Liu Feng led him all the way to the backyard, leaving behind a group of teenagers whispering with complicated expressions.

When they arrived at the entrance of Dr. Zhang's pharmacy, Yu Mo learned about Gu Qingyue's arrangements for him.

He will first undergo a body tempering process here, followed by a one-month trial period in which he will assist Liu Feng in conducting outdoor training for the teenagers.

In the front yard, Gu Qingyue and Xie Hongyi talked before entering the central hall. After the two finalized all the details, Xie Hongyi gained a deeper understanding of Gu Qingyue and admired her even more.

"Master," Xie Hongyi hesitated for a long time, dawdling and finding it difficult to speak, but she couldn't help but want to say it, so she finally spoke after some hesitation.

"Hmm? Go ahead and say it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, don't worry about me."

Gu Qingyue gave the other person an affirmative look.

She knew the other person might be hesitant to speak about brothels because she was just a young girl.

Xie Hongyi then dared to speak: "Our girls are mainly sourced from Jiangnan, but a brothel needs at least one top courtesan to attract everyone's attention. I was thinking, if it's convenient for you, mistress, could you please pick a time to help me take a look?"

Xie Hongyi's purpose was actually very simple.

She hoped that her master could select a suitable person to serve as the top courtesan according to his requirements, and this person was not the standard of a typical brothel.

I remember Manager Wang hinting that these people's main task was to gather intelligence.

Therefore, the requirements for personal ability are very high.

Therefore, it's difficult for them to make decisions on their own.

Gu Qingyue understood immediately.

She thought quietly for a while and then said, "Okay, let's do this: let's find some time before the opening to take a look at the candidates, select a few, and hold a talent show on the opening day. Let's make a big splash. If someone can become the most outstanding and become the number one, they will definitely be the most beautiful courtesan."

Next, the two discussed details such as how to hold events and attract customers to watch the events on the opening day. After everything was finalized, Xie Hongyi finally withdrew with a sigh of relief.

"Ugh, I'm so tired," Gu Qingyue lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She felt that there were so many things to deal with, and they were short-handed!

However, now that he's not going to the Lizhou camp anymore, he has some clues about his background, so he's finally gained something.

The next morning, a guest who surprised even Gu Qingyue arrived at the Gu residence was Gu Yun.

Gu Yun has been taking care of Gu Yuanchen's injuries recently. His injuries have basically healed, which is why he had the opportunity to return to Lizhou from Meng County. However, he brought news of Gu Yuanchen before he came.

"What? Who?" Gu Qingyue looked at Gu Yun with annoyance.

I stared at a name in his hand, somewhat surprised.

For no other reason than that this person also had the surname Gu and was named Gu Changling.

She couldn't understand why someone would ask her if she knew Gu Changling.

Who is that?

Gu Yun, seeing that Gu Qingyue's expression seemed genuine, frowned and took out a scroll from his bosom, unfolding it.

Wow! Handsome man! No, wait, handsome middle-aged man, with a bit of a beard, but why do his eyebrows and eyes look so familiar?

However, to be honest, these ancient brush paintings are really hard to compliment.

If the drawing skills are average, it's impossible to tell who the character resembles; in other words, you could say it resembles anyone.

At this moment, Gu Qingyue was facing a face that was neither quite handsome nor quite plain. It was alright, but a bit hasty. Only the eyes were drawn fairly well; the rest was... well, let's just say they weren't good enough.

"Who is this?" Gu Qingyue pressed.

Gu Yun looked at her intently for a long time before speaking, "Don't you think he looks a bit like...you?"

"Pfft—!" Gu Qingyue spat out a mouthful of tea, almost choking to death!

"Cough cough cough-------", Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction: "Are you blind? Where did you get the idea that he looks like me?"

"The eyes are similar," Gu Yun insisted.

Gu Qingyue took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth with annoyance and put it away.

He said to Gu Yun very solemnly, "How could a handsome, kind, and adorable little divine doctor like me look like a middle-aged uncle? Don't slander me. Let me tell you, even if General Gu is powerful, I will still beat you up."

Gu Yun's lips twitched. He had never seen anyone praise him like this before! How thick-skinned could someone be?

However, he slumped his shoulders in frustration. "You really haven't seen him before? Don't you recognize him?"

"Never. However, if you are looking for someone, you can describe the person's appearance in detail, and I can draw a new one for you. Look, with your drawing, you'll probably have to wait for good luck to find the person."

After saying that, Gu Qingyue glanced at the awful painting with utter contempt.

"Okay, thanks, we'll look again," Gu Yun said, turning to leave, but then turned back at the door.

"May I ask who's in Dr. Gu's family? How are your father and mother?"

Gu Qingyue: ......

Kid, you're meddling a bit too much!

“I have a younger brother. My parents should… They disappeared five years ago along with my brother. I’m looking for them,” Gu Qingyue said calmly.

Gu Yun hesitated again, but still asked, "Then, would it be convenient to ask my father's age?"

Looking at Gu Yun's expression, Gu Qingyue originally wanted to throw this talkative guy out, but then she thought that he was a member of General Gu's family after all, so she decided against it.

"I should be thirty-one or thirty-two this year," Gu Qingyue thought of her father, who had been quite good to her when she was a child.

Every time her grandmother twisted her ears or tore her hair, her father would say a few words to her grandmother afterwards, telling her not to hit so hard.
