Mysterious Lord Gu’s Palm Treasure

Chapter 166 A strange dinner

Someone has said that people are inevitably faced with parting from the moment they are born. Human life is very long. Not everyone you meet can accompany you to the end. There will always be people who will continue to get to know you. Then fade out of your life.

With sadness and pain, you always have to pack your bags and start over again. Only those who are fearless of separation can face the future bravely.

As night falls, inside the terrifying and large castle in the northernmost part of the Imperial Capital. When the Ning family originally built this castle, they originally chose a suburb far away from the Imperial Capital. As the Imperial Capital continues to develop over the years, it is getting closer. There was a small area, but fortunately, the person in charge of the Ning family had a sharp vision and bought the entire area with a radius of two kilometers.

Therefore, the nearest light source was the bright street lights in the castle and the light from the windows. Bai Xun looked at the dark road outside through the car window, and the dark emotions in his heart rose more and more.

"Isn't this Ning family a wealthy family? Why didn't even a lamp be lit along the way? It was so dark." Bai Xun frowned.

Gu Jiu Sheng hugged her and looked outside, her eyes dull, "Ning Yu has a weird temperament and is known as a pervert outside. Now it seems that it is true."

His words made Bai Xun's eyebrows rise more and more. She stared at the man in front of her in a funny way. She said, "I just didn't light up the lamp. Why do you think I'm a pervert? Didn't you like lighting up lamps in the East District before?" "

Besides, they just didn't light up the street lights, and it's not like he didn't light up the whole house before, and it was pitch black. He was blessed with spiritual power, so both his hearing, smell, and vision were sharper than ordinary people. There were many, but he could see them without turning on the light.

I just feel sorry for the bodyguard who works the night in the East District.

"Are you helping him?"

The man's voice was deep, his eyes were downturned, he was sharp and stylish, and he looked calm and confident, but at this moment, Bai Xun could see the threat.

"Baby, I remember he proposed to you last time, right?" His fingertips slowly went down along Bai Xun's eyebrows and landed on her white neck.

Just because of what happened last time, Gu Jiu Sheng originally refused to allow her to come to Ning's house. If she hadn't kept a straight face, I'm afraid Gu Jiu Sheng would not have agreed to her coming.

Bai Xun himself had forgotten that Ning Xu actually proposed to her last time.

"No, that's not it." Bai Chun rubbed his face, "I saw last time that he didn't have that kind of sincerity in his eyes at all!"

Bai Xun clenched his fists and said forcefully, "That kind of proposal without any sincerity is not a real proposal!"

So you don’t have to worry so much about such little things, okay?

The corners of Gu Jiu Sheng's mouth raised, a smile spread across her brows, and she leaned forward to meet her eyes and nose to nose, "Baby, do you still have time to look at his eyes carefully?"

The development direction of this problem has gone in an increasingly crooked direction.

"I seem to have forgotten to ask. When you got along behind, besides seeing the lack of sincerity in his eyes, what else did you see clearly?" The man raised his hand and gently pinched the back of her neck. It's like squeezing a chicken.

"No, I didn't see anything clearly. We fought. I told you." Bai Chun shrank his neck and looked at him with big watery eyes.

The man's fingertips were twirling the soft flesh on the back of her neck, once and for all, as if he was touching Ling Chi. When he became serious, Bai Xun felt really scared.

"Really, I thought you really fell in love with him."

Otherwise, you wouldn't be so protective, right?

Bai Xun thought of the hundred advantages of her husband that she had written out under his pressure last time. Faced with such a jealous person, she absolutely couldn't understand it with normal people's thinking, otherwise it would be over.

"How can it be!"

The girl behind her raised her voice, causing the driver to look back, but nothing could be seen in the back compartment covered by a thick black curtain. However, the relationship between Mr. Jiu and his wife is getting better and better, which is a good thing. .

With his wife by his side, Master Jiu seems to look much better, and he no longer tortures people casually.

"My husband is the most perfect in the world, the most handsome, the best tempered, the nicest voice, and the best to me!" Bai Xun hugged the man and rubbed him against him, as if he was hugging his master. Thigh cat.

Su Niannian said last time that this kind of anti-cute behavior can only make men soft-hearted, so she just wanted to try it.

"He can't even compare to my husband's fingers. How could I fall in love with someone else? It's impossible." Bai Xun vowed.

As if making an oath in front of him, Bai Xun just raised three fingers to swear.

"Oh? Really?" The man looked at her with a half-smile.

Bai Xun chuckled, hugged his neck and began to rub it hard, "I'm not stupid, don't worry, even if someone more handsome than you appears in this world, I will never leave you. It’s up to you.”

Gu Jiu Sheng held her in her arms, feeling Bai Xun's fluffy hair rubbing her chin, and the smile on her thin lips was soaring.

"Okay, this is what you said, I believe you." Gu Jiusheng held her hand tightly.

Bai Xun raised his eyebrows. This man is so happy. He is still pretending to be calm now. He is really so happy.

"This is not an important occasion tonight. You don't need to come over. You can just rest with Yan Xi at Quan's house. What are you doing here?" Gu Jiusheng rubbed her chin against the top of her head.

"Ning Yu can go to the Bai family to attend the banquet even though he is a country away. Moreover, he is also a psychic. I even suspect that he knows my origin."

This was the purpose of her coming here. Regardless of the evil spirits who appeared in country A, the people who appeared here must be related to Ning Yu. What she wanted to know from Ning Yu was why Ning Yu came to find her. .

"You suspect that those who attacked Yan Xi are also members of the Ning family." Gu Jiu Sheng said.

"Yes, according to the information we have now, we can confirm with a 70% probability that the person who attacked Yan Xi is a member of the Ning family."

But to put it bluntly, Ning Yu is also an ordinary person with a mortal body. Even if there is a chance that he can practice some strength with Xiuling, it is still impossible to know too much. In fact, with his strength, it is impossible to see. It turns out that Qiao'er's soul is attached to Yan Xi.

I'm afraid there is an expert behind Ning Yun.

"If Ning Yu dares to directly invite us like this, I'm afraid he will do it in a flawless manner. It will probably be difficult to find out." Bai Xun said.

"It's just a young man hiding behind his back and doing some tricks. Don't worry." Gu Jiu Sheng comforted him.

Bai Xun was actually more curious. In addition to being curious, she was also a little worried about where those people were. They knew the origins of her and Gu Jiu Sheng, and they kept a close eye on them, even trying to kill her several times.

If she couldn't find out clearly, it would be like a big stone weighing on her heart, and she would never be able to feel at ease.

A row of military green cars opened the road. There were eight cars in front and behind them. The people on them were all soldiers under Quan Jingting, who were responsible for protecting their safety. After all, Quan Jingting's identity was there, not to mention that this was a private member of the Ning family. He can come and go freely throughout the land and country M.

The winding road passed quickly, and with a distance of about two kilometers, Bai Xun saw a light not far away, which was the only warmth in the wilderness.

A carved fence gate appeared in front of them. The huge courtyard was all white. Under the illumination of all the lights in the courtyard, they could clearly see all the conditions in the courtyard. A cleared road led straight to the innermost castle. The castle The surging fountain in front brings a sparse stiffness.

The butler and two rows of servants stood at the door, waiting for the distinguished guests to get off the car with a smile.

The doors of the two black cars in the middle opened. Gu Jiu Sheng got out of the car first and reached out to half-hug the people in the car. The four of them were all wearing casual clothes, but Quan Jingting was wearing a straight military uniform.

Yan Yi and Mo Han handed over the gifts they brought over respectively. The servant behind the butler came over to catch the gifts and quietly returned and stood still.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me." The butler stepped forward and led them into the hall.

Bai Xun raised his eyebrows. Ning Yu didn't come out to greet Quan Jingting. She was not a person who would bend down for power. But this birthday was too casual. Why did she become more and more classy the further inside? It feels like Hongmen Banquet.

Will the four of them be served in one pot in the end?

"It's really a simple meal. It was very quiet all the way here. I didn't see any other cars parked here. Why is the birthday of the head of the Ning family so low-key?" Qingyue said.

Ning Yu has such an arrogant temperament, even if she doesn't have a big party for her birthday, she can be so low-key, and instead of inviting people who are too close to her, she invites them. How is this going on?

"There won't be anything strange here, right?" Bai Xun replied.

Quan Jingting raised his eyes, and the rows of epaulettes on his shoulders flickered, "Whatever, Ning Yun won't be stupid enough to attack us, just treat it as a meal, and that's it."

No matter how much Ning Yu wanted to compete with Gu Jiu Sheng, she would not be stupid enough to plot against Quan Jingting. This was not something a smart person would do. He could not handle offending a Gu Jiu Sheng, let alone being with him. Quan Jingting, whose own country occupies an important position.

The butler led people into the hall. The magnificent decoration was jaw-dropping. Different from the traditional pavilions of the Gu family, the style here is mostly dominated by gorgeous decorations. The gilded silk threads are ingenious and the huge hangings falling from the roof are stunning. The crystal chandelier highlights the taste and luster of the place.

"Young Marshal Quan, Master Jiu, long time no see." Ning Yu, dressed in a white tuxedo, slowly walked downstairs.

The man's eyes were flying at the end, and his silver-white pupils were particularly wild. He had a good figure and was born to be a good clothes man. God gave Ning Yu such a family background and appearance, and he was extremely benevolent.

"Thank you for your compliments. It's a great honor for me to receive your blessings." Ning Yu said and bowed politely.

Bai Xun looked at this man. At first glance, he thought he was quite polite and did not look like someone who would do shady things. He looked like a gentleman and a handsome young man, but he could manage the entire Ning family in an orderly manner. When it comes to those so-called rumors, it's better not to believe the other party's words too easily.

"Don't be so polite, I may not be here to wish you well." Gu Jiu Sheng beside Bai Xun seemed to say it unintentionally, but in fact his words were full of provocation.

Ning Yun smiled and said nothing, as if he didn't mind at all, "Master Jiu is still so fond of joking."

Gu Jiu Sheng didn't like Ning Yu in the first place. People like him have always been arrogant. If he didn't like her, he just didn't like her. In addition, the incident at the last banquet made his favorability towards Ning Yu fall from zero to negative. If Bai Xun hadn't wanted to Come here, he won't choose to accompany you.

So don’t presume that he comes with blessings. If he doesn’t come with curses, he is completely benevolent and righteous.

"We met this lady at the Bai family's banquet last time, right? Miss Bai, welcome to the Ning family." Ning Yu stretched out her hand, her white and jade-like palms particularly beautiful.

They were saying hello, but before Bai Chun could reach out, Gu Jiu Sheng hugged her and said something.

"This is my wife. You don't need to shake hands to say hello. I wasn't able to give a good introduction to Mr. Ning last time."

"Mrs. Ninth, right?" Ning Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as gentle as jade, "I was rude."

Qing Yue raised her eyebrows. What kind of magical relationship is this? Ning Yu paid more attention to Bai Xun than to them. She suddenly thought that the main guest he was hosting tonight was Bai Xun. .

They are all foils.

"Hello, Mrs. Quan." Ning Yu didn't spend too much time on Bai Xun, and turned her attention to Qing Yue.

Bai Xun looked around the entire hall. Although it was a retro European architectural style, Bai Xun saw a lot of Feng Shui furnishings from the moment she entered. She had read about Feng Shui furnishings in books.

This Ning Yu is really superstitious.

"Everyone, please take a seat and let's chat while we eat." Ning Yu said, leading the way to the restaurant.

Bai Xun squeezed Gu Jiu Sheng's hand tightly. She vaguely felt something was wrong here. The man looked down at her and patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

The dining table is seven meters long, covered with a red gilt-patterned tablecloth, with golden tassels hanging from the bottom. The candlesticks are neatly placed on the table, and the cutlery, forks and dishes are all neat and spotless, except for the decorations placed in the middle. The items are handmade by masters at a very high price.

There are several famous paintings hanging in the restaurant, mainly abstract paintings, all of which were masters of the auction house, but they all appeared in the Ning family's home.

"This is the first time you have come to my home. You don't have to be restrained and you feel freer." Ning Yu smiled brightly from the main seat.

"Mr. Ning, you don't need to be so polite. We are honored to be invited by you. You don't need to be too restrained." Quan Jingting replied in a formulaic manner.

Everyone talks with a smile, but who knows how deep the meaning is behind this smile.

The housekeeper started to serve the food. Bai Xun sat quietly in his seat and looked at the servant who started to serve the food. Compared to her vigilance, the man beside her was more relaxed and relaxed, resting his chin with one hand and moving leisurely.

"Let's have a drink first. These are all good wines in my collection. I was not able to have a drink with Master Jiu last time, but I always remember it in my heart."

The servants next to Ning Xu wore white gloves and walked over quietly holding wine bottles one by one and started to add wine. Although Bai Xun didn't know much about wine, he knew it when he smelled the grape aroma of the red wine. The price is not low.

Bai Xun sniffed the aroma in the wine glass. It had a good aroma and she liked it quite a lot.

"Master Jiu, I'd like to toast you. What happened last time was a misunderstanding. I blame you and Miss Bai for not announcing their marriage at that time. I thought Miss Bai was unmarried, so naturally I couldn't help myself." Ning Yu said and raised her eyebrows. He raised the cup in his hand.

When Bai Xun heard this, why did he feel so wrong? To other people's ears, it really didn't seem to be the case.

"What misunderstanding?" Gu Jiu Sheng stared at the person opposite, her eyelids moved lazily, and she turned to look at Bai Xun beside her, "Honey, what does he mean by this?"

Bai Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Ning and I had a misunderstanding last time. Now that we've resolved it, I didn't tell you anything that wasn't that important."

It would make any man feel uncomfortable to be able to let Ning Yu use the words he said on the stage in such an occasion, but to be dismissed by the other party with an understatement.

But who is the person opposite, someone who can lead the Ning family? I have never seen such a small scene before, but he knows how to step down.

"It's okay, Mrs. Ninth, if you don't blame me. It certainly didn't cause any misunderstanding between the two of you, so that's great." Ning Xu raised the wine glass in her hand, "I'll finish this wine first."

Looking at Ning Yu who drank the wine in one gulp, Quan Jingting sat upright with an expression of watching the fun in his eyes. Ning Yu and Gu Jiu Sheng could be regarded as mutually reinforcing. After fighting for so many years, he didn't just watch that time. lively.

However, to be able to become Gu Jiu Sheng's opponent, Ning Yun is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she knows how to measure things accurately.

"Looks like we came at the right time." He chuckled softly.

Qing Yue swayed her wine glass and looked at him with a smile. Although she didn't know why Ning Yu invited them over, it was true that she and Quan Jingting came here to join in the fun.

It didn't matter how the evening unfolded, they just sat and watched the show.

When the appetizers came, Bai Xun stared at the lamb chops on the plate. The taste of these foods was definitely not as good as Chinese food, but when it comes to other people's places, it is better for guests to have their own way.

Gu Jiu Sheng moved gracefully and slowly and skillfully cut the meat on her plate into small pieces in front of Bai Chun.

Ning Yu held the knife and fork and saw the man's movements and high-pitched tone, "I didn't expect Master Jiu and his wife to have such a good relationship. I really envy others."

"It's a bit surprising that you say this. Outsiders don't know that the Ning family's famous women's den is full of stunning beauties. Your love, Ning Yu, has never been broken."

Hearing Gu Jiu Sheng's words, Ning Yu laughed out loud, "Why did Master Jiu believe the rumors outside? If I really have a woman cave, why did I entertain you two couples tonight? I don't have anyone to accompany me. It’s on fire.”

"I think there are too many people in your photo, it's hard to choose." Gu Jiu Sheng was talking to Ning Yu more like old friends.

"Haha." Ning Xu laughed heartily, "Master Jiu doesn't know the pain in my heart."

"Indeed, I don't know the hardships like this. It's enough for me to have my wife by my side."

During this back and forth, Qingyu and Bai Xun were busy eating. What they said was both overt and covert, and it sounded particularly uncomfortable. They just had to eat enough now, and the rest was not within their scope of consideration.

Qingyue chewed the lamb chops in her mouth, her eyebrows arched in pleasure, and Bai Xun had the same expression. She never liked eating these things, but this time, the meat melted in her mouth and tasted great.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Jiusheng held the napkin and gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of the mouth of the girl next to her, her movements were extremely intimate.

Bai Xun nodded. This is the most delicious thing she has ever eaten so far. Even the food made by a five-star chef is not as good as this.

This chef's skills even surpass those of the Gu family's chefs, which is quite rare.

"It seems that the two ladies really like the taste." Ning Yu looked at their expressions and said.

Qingyue said politely, "I don't know how it was made. It tastes great. Even the lamb chops made by the best chef I have ever tasted are not as good as this."

Ning Yu shook the wine glass in her hand, and the bright red liquid brought out the fragrance, "What kind of meat are you two eating? There are always delicacies in the world that humans have never tasted. For example, humans themselves may be the best delicacies. Woolen cloth."

Bai Xun was stunned and looked down at the things on the plate. Even Qing Yue did the same.

"What does Mr. Ning mean by this?" Bai Xun asked.

"Isn't cooking all the same process? Since everyone cooks the same thing, then the problem must be with the materials. If the most delicate part of a fifteen-year-old girl is selected and cooked by the best chef, If it is served to the table, it will be delicious."

Bai Xun's movements holding the knife and fork stagnated. She was not so stupid as to think that the meat on the plate was human flesh. She was a doctor, and mutton could be used as medicine to a large extent, so she had been making prescriptions for a while. Been eating mutton for a while.

The missing fifteen-year-old girl tightened her hand on the fork. Ning Yun meant what she said.

"Pah!" Quan Jingting put the cup in his hand on the table without hesitation and looked at the person opposite him quietly, "Mr. Ning, what do you mean by this?"

"I think Mr. Quan knows what you mean best. Quan's army traced the missing girl and followed several routes to our Ning family. Don't you think that my Ning family took this person away?" Ning He leaned back and sat lazily against the back of the chair.

Bai Xun also heard Yan Yi mention it twice about the case of missing girls. Most of the girls in the cases of missing girls in country A had worked in entertainment venues and companies under the Ning family. They must have been in country M. Same thing.

All the fingers were pointed at the Ning family. Ning Yun asked this because the interrogation during this period of time was probably too much and they couldn't bear it anymore.

"The people under me will act in accordance with the rules and regulations and will not wrongly accuse a good person." Quan Jingting said calmly.

This kind of thing is not something he can interfere with. The people under his command will investigate according to the evidence. Whoever is found responsible in the end is the one who is responsible. If their evidence is sufficient, I am afraid that Ning Yu will not be able to sit still intact. Here it is.

"Really?" Ning Yu chuckled and looked at Gu Jiu Sheng.

"What about Master Jiu? Your men destroyed five of my cargo ships in the underworld, carrying 5 billion worth of cargo. Does Master Jiu also suspect that I have any signs of evil?"

People who come and go in business are naturally willing to give up. If Ning Yu can invite them over tonight, it will naturally not be as simple as just having a meal.

"The Ning family and the Gu family have never lived in peace. As for why, you should think about it carefully before asking me. What happened to my Gu family's supply of goods that was cut off? Mountains and rivers meet each other. What are you going to do now? If you come to fight with me and ask questions, the accounts between us will not be clean." Gu Jiu Sheng said with a smile.

Ning Yu nodded after listening to the two people's words, and her expression changed like a breeze passing by, with a gentle look on her face, "That's right, I'm too stingy, but this is not why I invited you here today. Business is business. , Our friendship is a friendship, and naturally it cannot be broken."

The dishes were served one after another. Qing Yue and Bai Xun actually ate quite well. Both of them were big-hearted people. Not to mention that human flesh was not human flesh. Ning Yu was not stupid enough to be on the territory of the Ning family. Attack them.

When the dinner was almost over, Ning Yu raised her hand and called the housekeeper over, saying something in a low voice.

"Since the two ladies are so curious about this meal, I will ask the chef to come over and meet you."

Soon the person who made these meals came out quickly. Bai Xun saw the white chef uniform on his body and the black apron tied around his waist. The boy had delicate features and looked a little childish upon closer inspection. His hair was She has short black and white hair and fair skin. If she had a brighter lip color compared to this castle, she would probably look like a vampire in the dark night.

But the most surprising thing is that he looks very young, probably in his early twenties.

"This is the chef who is cooking for us tonight. If you have any questions, you can ask him." Ning Yu snapped her fingers and spoke.

Ning An bowed to the four of them and stood quietly beside Ning Xu. In comparison, their facial features were somewhat similar.

"What's the relationship between you two?" Bai Xun asked.

At one glance, I knew he was Ning Yun's brother, he looked so similar.

"Mrs. Ninth has a good look. This is indeed my brother, Ning'an."

Bai Xun glanced at Gu Jiu Sheng. Among all the information given by the outside world, Ning Xu was the only direct descendant of the Ning family. When did Ning An become a child?

Moreover, if he was a well-hidden child, why would Ning Yu let him come out?

"Brother?" Ning An looked at his brother in surprise.

It was clearly agreed that he was just out to cook, and even if he introduced him to the guests, he would not introduce his identity. Why did my brother say something evil now?

"It's okay, you should know both of these two." Ning Yu pointed at Quan Jingting and his wife, then introduced Gu Jiu Sheng, "Those are the Gu Jiuye and his wife Miss Bai that I mentioned to you."

Ning An looked at Gu Jiu Sheng with more hostility in his eyes. This was the opponent his brother told him, right?

"Did you cook all these meals?" Qingyue asked.

This Ning'an seems to be able to make such delicious food at a young age. Even the star chefs in the restaurant can't match his skills. He seems to be a very capable young man.

"Yes." Ning An lowered his head.

My brother has said that this is a very important guest and he should be obedient and not cause any trouble to his brother.

"It's amazing." Qingyue praised him twice.

Bai Xun stared at Ning An for a long time. She didn't come back to her senses until the man under the table squeezed her hand tightly.

"Do you really like these meals?" Ning Yu asked.

Quan Jingting followed Qing Yue's advice and replied, "The taste is indeed good."

After all, the wife’s face must be given to her. If she says it’s delicious, then it must be delicious.

"Master Jiu is my distinguished guest. Let me see it this way. You go in and make two desserts and bring them back to the two ladies later." Ning Yu said.

Bai Xun and Qing Yue looked at each other without saying a word of rejection, and saw the young man walking back to the kitchen obediently.

After all, it was someone else's territory and they couldn't say anything. They could eat whatever they gave them.

"My younger brother likes to run into the kitchen when he has nothing to do. He learned a few tricks from the chef at home, and the food he cooks now is quite delicious." Ning Yu looked back at Ning An and said.

"Indeed, it is indeed amazing to be able to achieve such an achievement at such an age." Bai Chun said smoothly.

Ning Yu's eyes fell on Bai Xun, "I heard that Mrs. Ninth went into the Gu family on her own to treat Old Mrs. Gu, and there were many rumors outside that Miss Bai, who was recovered by the Bai family, had far better medical skills. You have surpassed the original head of the Bai family, and you were once the first place winner in the International Medical Competition. So, your achievements are much higher than those of your brothers."

Ning Yu had collected quite a lot of information.

"Each industry has its own achievements, and they cannot be compared like this." Bai Xun said with a smile.

Within five minutes, the housekeeper came over in a hurry and said, "Master, the second young master vomited blood and fainted."

Ning Yu's expression changed and she hurriedly stood up and rushed over. Bai Xun glanced curiously, but was pulled back by the man next to him.

"You also think it's strange here, don't you?" Bai Xun grabbed him and asked curiously.

Gu Jiu Sheng's face was cold and hard, he pushed the dessert in front of her, stretched out his hand to touch her face, "Eat well."

Seeing the incomprehensible look on the man's face, Bai Xun snorted, lowered his head and started scooping out the pudding with a spoon. This man was really serious.

She didn't know what the situation was like there, but she, a doctor, was quite curious. When she first saw Ning An's face, she felt something was wrong. A normal person's skin color would not be that fair.

The housekeeper hurried back to Bai Chun again, "Our master asked me to come over and ask Mrs. Ninth to take a look and ask Mrs. Ninth to save our second young master!"

Bai Xun raised his head and glanced at Gu Jiu Sheng, and the man put down his cup.

"Since I've extended the invitation, let's go and have a look."
