I'm Really Just an Ordinary Person

Chapter 65 You Move One Step

The banquet was held at three o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday in Ke's old house.To be precise, it's not exactly a banquet where the mystic arts circle is invited to eat, drink, drink and build relationships. It's more like an exchange meeting, but it won't make people feel too purposeful and repulsive.

It's true that the Ke family's decline and decline have been back then.This old house is not as long-historical as the old house of a wealthy family and occupies a large area. It is also an old villa of a certain age.The villa has three floors in total, and there is a complete small yard surrounding the villa. It looks like buying a yard and building a villa in the middle.However, after many years of renovation and layout, it is not so strange, and it looks quite bluffing.

The living room has been completely vacated and arranged to look like a banquet hall, and a long table is placed with food.Ke’s family still looks like they are interested. There are some array runes hanging on the wall, and there is also a square table in the corner with a sand table where you can draw runes or use fake array flags to set up an array. It seems that it is completely reserved for everyone to communicate. For discussion.

When Gu Yuan and Qin Xi came, they had already seen many smiling guests gathering together in twos and threes, discussing seriously, and letting their juniors show off their knowledge.

Ke Yufei was in the second branch of the Ke family, and he had an older brother who was an archaeologist. Right now, the two brothers were standing side by side at the door, helping their parents to welcome and entertain guests.

Ke Yufei was a little surprised when he saw the two of them, as if he didn't expect them to come.

"Student?" Ke Yufei stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yuan handed the post to the welcoming servant, and nodded towards Ke Yufei: "The elders in the family are unwell and unable to come here, so let me come here on their behalf to thank my uncle and aunt."

Ke Yufei laughed: "Everyone is alumni, why are you being so polite? Are Senior Gu and Auntie okay?"

"It's just an old illness, it's fine."

"That's good." Ke Yufei responded with a smile, and brought Gu Yuan and Qin Xi into the door: "I heard from my parents that I invited Senior Gu, but I didn't expect Senior Gu to be your father. My father will be inside right now." Invite a few senior masters, and I will introduce you when I come out, my father likes young and capable juniors like you very much."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Xi and said with a smile, "Which master is Junior Brother Qin under?"

Gu Yuan paused: "He... the elder of the master sect has lived in seclusion for a long time, so it is inconvenient to tell the outside world."

Ke Yufei was stunned for a moment, and then stopped asking: "It's okay, we are all in the same way. Brother Qin can also chat with you if you are interested. Many senior masters came today. I chatted with some seniors just now, and I also It has benefited a lot." After leading the person in, Ke Yufei said: "I won't entertain you for now, you can do whatever you want. After a while, my father will finish his work, and I will take you to see him."

"Thank you." Gu Yuan said lightly.

After Ke Yufei left, Qin Xi asked Gu Yuan thoughtfully, "Why do I think he has a weird attitude?"

"What?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, took a glass of juice and sipped it calmly, and asked casually.

Qin Xi couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt weird.After thinking for a while, he said: "It seems... a high-ranking look? Probably this kind of feeling."

Gu Yuan seemed to laugh, but when Qin Xi looked over, he still had that expressionless dead face, and said in a cold voice: "Xuan Ye asked me to arrange to erase his memory twice, remember?"

Qin Xi nodded.Once in the office and once in the old school theater.

"The memory was erased twice, but he can take it for granted who my father is after I mentioned my father. It is obvious that he knows that I have dabbled in mystical arts. Or...he has already guessed that I am proficient in this field." Gu Yuan shook the cup, lowered his eyes and said: "But this place is his home field, probably because he feels that everything is under his control, so he naturally looks down on us."

That means, Ke Yufei...even the entire Ke family knows that the elders of Gu Yuan's generation will attend this banquet, and if there is any situation, it will be completely aimed at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan had to admit that Xuan Ye had a foreknowledge this time.If the Ke family's situation came at him, he really didn't know if he could escape.After all, thousands of years ago, he was just an ordinary warlock, and Liu Jingtian, behind the Ke family, was already a big man who stirred up wind and rain thousands of years ago.It's also a thousand-year memory, Gu Yuan doesn't think he can be patient enough to fight Liu Jingtian hard.

Qin Xi was in a daze when he heard it, and managed to catch a little bit of inspiration: "He knew you were coming?"

Gu Yuan glanced at him, feeling relieved: "It's not stupid. Try not to stay too far away from me." After all, Qin Xi had to hand over his own life to preserve it if he was in doubt.The ancient banxian also had a strong desire to survive.

Most of the visitors are middle-aged or even elderly, and there are many seniors with some reputation in the mysterious art world.But Gu Yuan, who could really be regarded as highly respected, waited until three o'clock for all the guests to arrive, but he didn't see any of them.On the contrary, some of them also sent juniors here, and when they saw Gu Yuan, they came to say hello, and then they dealt with it and found an excuse to leave early.Until the official banquet at five o'clock in the afternoon, Ke's family left behind some people who had some skills in the mystic arts circle, but they were not completely clean.

It also happened to confirm Mr. Gu's conjecture that the Ke family was probably not clean as he said to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't mind this at all, and ate and drank quietly with Qin Xi throughout the whole process, occasionally listening to people not far from them discussing professional knowledge, even if there was a mistake, he would never testify.

Those who knew him and came over to say hello and seek friendship were mostly forced to retreat by Gu Yuan's lukewarm attitude and left with a bit of dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, the successor of the Gu family's "Du" is well known, and this attitude is not abrupt, and no one really cares about it.

As for Qin Xi...Ke Yufei did mention to some people that his senior had lived in seclusion for a long time, but few people present took him seriously, and most of them just ignored him.

Also, none of the people present had anything to do with the Three Realms Office, and even some people didn't even know the existence of the Office, so naturally they wouldn't find out Qin Xi's identity.

During the banquet, Ke Yufei's father, Ke Hongyu, appeared and was talking to some elderly people who seemed to be of high status. About halfway through the banquet, Ke Yufei came to find Gu Yuan.

"My father is upstairs in the study. He said he wanted to talk to you about something. I don't know if it's inconvenient for my junior..."

Gu Yuan nodded, then glanced at Qin Xi: "I will go with Qin Xi."

"This..." Ke Yufei glanced at Qin Xi, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go there."

Qin Xi, who was having a good meal, followed the two people up the stairs while holding the snacks in his hands. When he went upstairs, he saw a few people downstairs looking at them, and by the way, he saw Gu Yuan's hand at his side making a gesture. Weird gesture.

That gesture, Qin Xi, had been popularized by Xuan Ye, and it was a specific gesture when they communicated with humans.Means... dangerous.

However, with all due respect, he really didn't get to the point of danger...

Followed Ke Yufei all the way upstairs, stopped in front of the closed mahogany door, Ke Yufei stopped and turned to look at Gu Yuan and Qin Xi, smiled slightly, with a dim light in his eyes: "You two juniors... please."

Gu Yuan glanced at him, opened the door calmly and walked in.Qin Xi followed Gu Yuan, looked at Ke Yufei who was smiling at him, and then at Gu Yuan who stopped still after taking a step into the room, fell silent for a while, and said to Gu Yuan in a low voice: "Go a little further in, I'll go in." not going."

Gu Yuan: ...

Ke Yufei: ...

Sitting behind the desk, Ke Hongyu with an inscrutable face: ...

It's okay, there's no strange atmosphere or ominous feeling this time, Gu Yuan twitched his lips and took a step to the side to make room for Qin Xi, but he cautiously didn't move forward.

He always felt that something was wrong with this study, there should be some hidden formation.

After the two went in together, Ke Yufei closed the door behind them.

Ke Hongyu crossed his fingers and rested his chin quietly looking at the two young men, with a slight smile that was not a smile: "You are the son of Gu Qingxing? It seems...but that's it." After speaking, he looked at the two of them again He laughed sinisterly: "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will set a trap for you? Young people think too much, even if there is any trap, it will be left to Gu Qingxing."

Gu Yuan looked at him indifferently and said nothing.

Qin Xi couldn't help poking Gu Yuan: "Is he the villain who died of talking too much?"

Gu Yuan: ...

Ke Hongyu: ...

Ke Hongyu turned to anger from embarrassment, and went to a position one step away from Gu Yuan step by step, with a smile on his expression: "I heard...the Office of the Three Realms is looking for Liu Jingtian?"

"?" Gu Yuan's eyes sharpened suddenly, and he didn't move half a step.

Qin Xi bumped into Gu Yuan again and couldn't help but say, "He just wants you to move, isn't it a little uncooperative for you to stay still?"

Ke Hongyu: ...? ? ?

Gu Yuan really couldn't hold back, so he gave Qin Xi a hard look, and said in a low voice, "Shut up!"

"..." Wronged.

Probably because he felt that he would always be dismantled if he set up a not-so-high-end game. Ke Hongyu was very shameless. After listening to Qin Xi's complaints, he stopped pretending and stood with his arms folded. He raised his eyebrows at the two: "What? With this appearance, you still dare to come to the banquet? Gu Qing Xingjiao is a coward? Or...Your majestic master Gu, who is equal to all the judges in the underworld, will also be afraid of me, an ordinary person?"

Gu Yuan moved his lips and sneered: "You know it's a trap, but you still jump into it recklessly, do you think I'm a fool?" After speaking, he turned and opened the door and left.

Qin Xi: ... dumbfounded.jpg

As a result, before Qin Xi could finish his stupefaction, Gu Yuan's figure stepped out of the study and disappeared in an instant.

"Hahaha...Young man, do you really think that I will set up a death formation for him in the study? The real formation was left in the corridor early in the morning... oh----!!!???" Ke Hongyu said frantically. Before he finished speaking, Qin Xi, who was tired of the nagging, slapped the back of the table with his backhand, and fell to the ground.When he recovered, Qin Xi was gone.

The author has something to say:

Qin Xi: You should also cooperate a little bit, otherwise how would this plot work?
