" No, No there is nothing that is keeping me busy," the guard did not act arrogantly anymore, he lowered his head before asking Song Yan to follow him. Before he opened the gates and then entered the Gu family sect, which was a lot different than Fu Yu Sheng had imagined, he looked at the tall building which looked a lot like his own company building and then turned to look at Song Yan before asking, " Are you sure, Master Gu is here? This…looks a bit too out of his zone right?"
Gu Chenyi was a man who wore a long white sleeves shirt with beige or brown pants with slippers. He was the kind of man who looked like he lived in a small manor with his pets not in a building which looked like it was a part of the corporate world where he had to work 24/7.
" He looks like a sleazy dirtbag who only knows how to flirt all year round but he is much more serious than he looks when it comes to his family and work," Song Yan explained in a soft voice as she looked at the man who was walking next to her. Seeing that Fu Yu Sheng still looked a bit confused, she patted him on the shoulder and then said, " It might seem like the job that I do is nothing serious but you will be shocked to know how many normal people are affected by the supernatural, do you think that the Gu family is a big family for no reason?"
Fu Yu Sheng did not comment, in fact, it was better to say that he did not have anything that he wanted to say because he just finished counting the floors of the building and to his surprise, he found out that Gu Chenyi had one more floor in his building compared to his.
Did it mean that he was much busier than him?
This left a bad taste in his mouth, even though Song Yan told him that Gu Chenyi was her master. That man left a bad taste in his mouth! Something about that man made him sense danger as if he was going to snatch something precious from him.
Looks like he needed to start working harder.
The two of them entered the building which was fully incorporated with the modern comforts. Though as Fu Yu Sheng entered the building he saw many old men walking inside while dressed in black and white robes, they seemed to be discussing something quite intensely while the younger ones were dressed in black jackets with completely black outfit which was quite similar to the one that Song Yan wore when she was working.
" I never asked why you always wear black when you go to work?" Fu Yu Sheng asked as he looked at Song Yan who was dressed in a black fitting dress.
"It is easy to blend in the dark like this," She told him as she looked down at the black dress that she was wearing. " Other colours can easily be detected on the other hand."
" Assistant Geng!" When Fu Yu Sheng was going to say something, Song Yan suddenly intervened as she saw Gu Chenyi's assistant who was heading to the top floor.
" Miss Song," Assistant Geng greeted as he turned to look at Song Yan, just like others he was dressed in a black suit which would have been considered a fitting suit for a funeral but in the company it seemed to be sticking out oddly.
Song Yan nodded at Assistant Geng as she bid goodbye to the guard before turning to look at the man who still had his finger pressed on the elevator button.
" Are you going to see Master?" She asked Assistant Geng.
" Yes," the man nodded as the elevator finally opened with a ding. " Are you here to see Master Chenyi as well?" Though Assistant Geng did not meet Song Yan before he had seen her, since she was the one and only disciple of Master Chenyi, it would be surprising if he did not even take a look at her face.
"That's right, is he still cultivating?" Song Yan questioned as she followed Assistant Geng inside the elevator along with Fu Yu Sheng.
The doors of the elevator closed with a sharp click as the three stepped inside.
" He is indeed in locked cultivation, but I think if I tell Master Chenyi that his favourite disciple is here… most probably he will come out of his closed-door cultivation," replied Assistant Geng.
His response was enough to let Song Yan know that Gu Chenyi indeed locked himself because his grandfather was forcing him to marry Shen Yu and because Gu Chenyi did not wish to follow the orders of his grandfather, he locked himself in the cave which was on the mountain behind this building.
Fu Yu Sheng's brows twitched when he heard Assistant Geng say that Song Yan was Gu Chenyi's favourite disciple. A part of him wished to tell Assistant Geng that this favourite disciple of Master Chenyi was also married but he did not wish to act like those overbearing presidents in the novel who got jealous and embarrassed their better halves by making things awkward which was why he silently refrained himself from saying anything.
Though he still cleared his throat to make his presence known.
Only then did Assistant Geng turn to look at Fu Yu Sheng and frowned before his eyes flicked left and right. " Ah yes," he suddenly exclaimed. " I completely forgot that you are married, Miss Song."
' Hah? You are saying that you forgot that your master precious disciple has a super precious husband? Is that what you are saying?'
Fu Yu Sheng tilted his head to the side, with a nerve throbbing in his head which showed that he was this close to snapping.
" Don't tease him too much, Assistant Geng," Song Yan sighed as she planted a hand on Fu Yu Sheng's shoulder and pulled him back before he jumped on Assistant Geng. " And you too don't take his words seriously, he is an evil spirit exorciser. Being a sadist is in his veins, he likes to tease and taunt people a lot. Isn't that right, Assistant Geng?"
