Gu Liang was now in his calm state; he, without hesitation, showed a half-sad face.
Gu Liang was now clutching his chest; he looked as if he was showing a grateful face.
"Ah... It's all thanks to Miss Wang. She is my savior. I believe she is the only person for me to serve. I really hope I can repay all her kindness."
Ji Yuexin blinked her eyes; she looked as if she couldn't hold back her happy face.
Ji Yuexin couldn't hold back her happy face; she unhesitatingly patted Gu Liang's shoulder a few times.
"That's very good. I know the young lady will not be wrong in judging you! I'm sure you will be able to protect the young lady by her side when I'm not around."
"Heh... What about the last time you rejected my presence? Didn't you really look down on me?" Gu Liang now showed a cold smile; he now focused it on Ji Yuexin.
Ji Yuexin shook her head. She remembered how she showed her dislike for Gu Liang.
[You receive +10 Luck Points.]
"Ahem. That was a misunderstanding. From the start, I didn't want the young lady to be deceived by a bastard. The young lady is a good woman, but because of her kindness, she has been deceived several times in the past."
Gu Liang didn't say a word; he was now focused in his mind.
"Hehe. I was just joking. As a guard, what you did was the right thing. Ji Yuexin, you are an extraordinary woman."
Ji Yuexin didn't know how to tell him; she didn't expect Gu Liang to be so bold in giving her praise.
Ji Yuexin originally wanted to ignore what happened, but she remembered that she had not told Gu Liang her name.
"Wait, how do you know my name? Mr. Gu, where did you hear it?"
Gu Liang showed a helpless face. He remembered how the system revealed the name of Ji Yuexin.
Gu Liang now showed a stupid face; he looked as if he thought Ji Yuexin's question was strange.
"Who knows? I'm just guessing."
"..." Ji Yuexin narrowed her eyes, but she saw Gu Liang's expression showing a cold face.
Ji Yuexin didn't say a word; she chose to forget what happened.
As time passed, Gu Liang and Ji Yuexin had landed in the residence of the Wang family—it was an ancient Chinese traditional house.
Gu Liang couldn't help but look amazed. He knew that the building in front of him was magnificent.
Gu Liang looked around, and he saw a small pond formed near a tree within the boundary.
'Very beautiful. Moreover, this place is much more spacious than I thought. And several guards seemed busy guarding the residence of the Wang family.' Gu Liang was initially deep in thought, but he saw Ji Yuexin dragging him along with her.
Gu Liang woke up from his thoughts. He hoped that Ji Yuexin could let go of his wrist.
"Uh... I can walk on my own. Please let me go." Gu Liang now tried to distance himself from Ji Yuexin, but he saw that her strength showed her unreasonableness.
Gu Liang gave up; he knew he couldn't free himself from Ji Yuexin.
Gu Liang remembered that Ji Yuexin was an expert of the Spirit Essence realm; she could be said to be much stronger than the experts below her.
"Don't ask too many questions. The young lady has been waiting for you. She wants to see your progress right now."
"Understood."
Some time passed, and Gu Liang was now standing in front of Wang Huan'er's room—he knew it was her workroom.
Gu Liang couldn't hold back his serious face; he knew that a man's voice could be heard inside.
[Detected that one of the Sons of Destiny was found! Please be careful.]
Gu Liang sighed; he now chose to knock on the door of the room in front of him.
"Young lady, it's me, Gu Liang. I've come to accept my duty as a guard." Gu Liang slightly opened the door in the room. He turned to look at the figure of Wang Huan'er, who was now sitting near his desk.
Gu Liang didn't say a word; he chose to walk into the room.
"Greetings, Miss Wang. I came as you promised. I hope Miss Wang will not be offended by my actions." Gu Liang now turned slightly to the man near Wang Huan'er, and he saw him showing a disgusted face.
"How dare you? Who are you so brave as to enter my lover's private room? Do you want to die?" The man originally wanted to give his insults, but he saw Wang Huan'er open her mouth.
Wang Huan'er now couldn't hold back her shocked expression. She knew that Gu Liang's aura showed the pressure of the 5th-layer of the Mortal Building realm expert.
"This... Mr. Gu? Is this really you? How could you reach the cultivation of the 5th layer of the Mortal Building realm within 3 days? This is simply unreasonable!" Wang Huan'er ignored the reaction of the man beside her; she knew he was now showing a face of disbelief.
Wang Huan'er couldn't help but smile a little. She didn't expect her to get such a gem in her search.
"Please don't praise me too much. I was just lucky with your help. If you didn't give me that pill, I don't know whether I could reach my current level or not." Gu Liang now showed his respect; he seemed to show his loyalty to Wang Huan'er.
Wang Huan'er held her chin, as if showing a satisfied face.
"Ha ha... Ye Chen, what do you think? I told you that he's not bad."
"So he's the one you're referring to? Gu Liang… I understand. His talent is very good. I admit he's worthy of being your protector." Ye Chen was now in a strange state; he knew he had underestimated Gu Liang's figure.
Ye Chen was seen walking closer to Gu Liang; he hoped he could show his apology to him.
"You are Gu Liang? Sorry if I spoke ill of you earlier. As a talented young man, I hope you can take care of my fiancée."
Gu Liang didn't care about it; he knew Ye Chen wanted to shake hands with him.
Gu Liang originally wanted to ignore him, but he remembered that he was a guard from the Wang family.
Gu Liang held back his ugly face; he hoped he could carry out his revenge in the future.
Gu Liang now accepted Ye Chen's handshake, but he showed a strange expression.
'This strength... he is much stronger than Ji Yuexin! I'm afraid his strength has already reached the peak of the Spirit Essence realm.' Gu Liang gritted his teeth; he didn't expect his body to experience his fear.
Gu Liang turned to look at Ye Chen's hand, and he saw that it showed a bit of strength.
Gu Liang held back his pained face; he knew he couldn't show it to Wang Huan'er.
Ye Chen didn't understand how to tell him; he knew Gu Liang's strength was no lower than an expert in the 6th layer of the Mortal Building realm.
'This man... he is very dangerous. Even his body radiated energy that could defy heaven and earth. I have to be careful of him.' Ye Chen is now in good condition; he knows that Gu Liang is not an ordinary person in general.
A moment after Ye Chen removed his hand from Gu Liang, he showed a calm face.
