The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Gu Yuebai was on the phone in the living room, which woke up Song Lan in the bedroom. She heard the whole conversation between the mother and son.

When Song Lan heard that another woman had appeared, she felt even more aggrieved, but when she heard Gu Yuebai tell his mother that she was his girlfriend, she felt sweet and happy again.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuebai's mind was in turmoil.

Song Lan was still angry, and he didn't know how to tell her about it.

Tomorrow, he plans to go to Yunlu Mountain, but he still doesn't know what kind of person is behind it.

He was actually quite uneasy. Ever since he met Di Liuyue and witnessed her special abilities, he had gained a new understanding of this world.

It turns out that he wasn't the only one in the world with abilities beyond those of ordinary people.

He harbored a deep fear of the abilities of the person behind it all.

As he pondered these thoughts, he gradually fell asleep.

After a long time, when the living room gradually fell silent, Song Lan quietly opened the door and came out.

She took a light blanket, covered Gu Yuebai with it, and sat down next to him.

Song Lan was once considered a wealthy socialite and had some understanding of the ways of the rich and powerful.

In this world, women always flock to the rich and powerful. It's perfectly normal for anyone with a bit of ability to have several women around them.

From the moment she started working at the clinic, she had a premonition. Gu Yuebai was no longer that lowly security guard; he was destined to be surrounded by beautiful women.

From the very beginning, she never imagined that Gu Yuebai would only have her.

She told Gu Yuebai that she didn't want to get married again and that she couldn't give Gu Yuebai the kind of marriage he wanted.

She had long since lost all hope in marriage and had vowed never to remarry.

If that's the case, why did she demand that Gu Yuebai remain faithful to her until the end?

She stroked Gu Yuebai's handsome face and secretly kissed him on the lips.

…………

The next morning, when Gu Yuebai woke up, she found herself covered with a thin blanket, and Song Lan was still sleeping in the room.

He smiled faintly, inhaling the lingering fragrance of Song Lan on the thin blanket, and smiled contentedly.

He cooked a sweet and delicious millet porridge for Song Lan and made an egg pancake before quietly leaving.

The magical artifacts he bought on his last trip to Yunlu Mountain were still in his car. He drove his Audi straight to Yunlu Mountain, to the Imperial View Mansion.

When he arrived at the Imperial View Mansion, he found that Di Liuyue and the other three had also arrived at the construction site. At this time, the construction site had not yet resumed work, and the workers who had received treatment had not returned to the construction site. Wu Yueming temporarily arranged for them to stay at the foot of the mountain.

The construction site remained eerily silent.

After Gu Yuebai stopped the car, carrying the peach wood sword on his back and holding the Soul-Suppressing Bell in his hand, he could feel Di Liuyue's terrifying spiritual power spreading from afar.

At this moment, Di Liuyue had her eyes slightly closed, her boundless spiritual power enveloping the entire construction site, sensing everything on the site.

A moment later, her powerful mental perception contracted from all directions and finally returned to her mind.

At the West Mountain Villa, Di Liuyue's mental control had caused Gu Yuebai's soul to ache and he was unable to extricate himself. Now, the mental power of Di Liuyue that he sensed was even more immense than at the West Mountain Villa.

Di Liuyue glanced sideways at Gu Yuebai, and Xiao Yi and the others also saw Gu Yuebai.

"Why is he here?"

"You're carrying a peach wood sword and a soul-suppressing bell, trying to subdue demons?"

"Did he think it was just an ordinary ghost?"

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, especially Li Shaohui, who had absolutely no good impression of Gu Yuebai.

"Let him see what real superpowers are."

The setback at Lanting Villa left Li Shaohui with a lingering resentment.

He's always been looking for an opportunity to get revenge. Today, catching ghosts here is the perfect opportunity.

"Never mind him." Di Liuyue withdrew her gaze and focused on the very center of the construction site. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. "In the center of the construction site, there is a kind of formation. In the five positions of east, west, south, north, and center, there is a soul in each position. Together, they form a strange formation using the five elements, absorbing the yin energy between heaven and earth. The core of the formation is under the old locust tree in the center of the construction site."

Li Shaohui asked anxiously, "Does destroying that old locust tree destroy the array's core and break the formation?"

Gu Yuebai stood not far away, wanting to see just how capable these people were. So he didn't say a word, just watched from a distance.

Di Liuyue stared intently at the old locust tree, shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. This formation involves five ghosts from five directions, all working together as one. If one is attacked, all five will be alerted."

"What are we afraid of? The four of us are all Awakened Ones. What are we afraid of ghosts for? Let's go!"

Li Shaohui took the lead and rushed forward. He gathered lightning power in his hands, and terrifying lightning crackled in his palms.

Five meters away from the old locust tree, he pushed his palm forward, and a powerful bolt of lightning shot out, heading straight for the old locust tree.

A powerful force arrived instantly; a surge of Yin energy blocked Li Shaohui's lightning power.

In an instant, a vast expanse of malevolent energy rose within a mile radius of the Imperial View Mansion, enveloping everyone present. The bright sunshine in the sky turned gloomy.

Five tangible ghosts rose from the five directions—east, west, south, north, and center—and flew towards Di Liuyue and her companions with bared fangs and claws.

The four of them used their best skills. Di Liuyue waved her hand, and dozens of steel pipes on the construction site instantly rose up and rushed towards one of the ghosts rushing towards her.

Li Shaohui unleashed a barrage of lightning strikes, while Xiao Yi condensed dark power, hiding in the shadows, holding two daggers in his hands as he battled the ghosts.

Zhou Sheng controlled the wind element, making himself rise into the air at a very fast speed.

One of the ghosts, however, flew towards Gu Yuebai, baring its fangs and claws.

Gu Yuebai instantly summoned the peach wood sword on his back and thrust it straight at the ghostly figure.

The ghostly figure shrieked and lunged forward, baring its fangs and claws. As the peach wood sword drew near, the ghostly figure seemed somewhat frightened.

At the same time, Gu Yuebai shook the Soul-Suppressing Bell in her hand. The sound of the bell was like steel knives piercing the ghostly soul, causing it unbearable pain and making it emit even more piercing screams.

A sinister force blocked the peach wood sword's attack.

The two sides were deadlocked.

Suddenly, the sound of a flute drifted over, and upon hearing it, the ghosts shone with an intense, eerie light.

Di Liuyue manipulated the ghostly figures that attacked her back and forth, but they were easily dodged.

The ghostly figure bared its teeth, as if it wanted to devour Di Liuyue alive. It slapped down, and a beam of dark light reached out to grab Di Liuyue.

Di Liuyue hurriedly retreated to dodge the attack, leaving a deep gash in the ground.

"Soul Impact!"

Di Liuyue's eyes flashed, and an invisible force struck the ghost.

Shocked by the attack on its soul, the ghost let out a shriek and clutched its head with both hands.

Ghosts are essentially spirits, so this kind of mental attack is even more effective against them.

Li Shaohui's lightning power struck the ghost, weakening the corpse of that vengeful spirit.

Xiao Yi and Zhou Sheng's attributes do not counter the ghosts; they can only stall and maneuver around them.

Although Di Liuyue and Li Shaohui seemed to have the upper hand, the ghost, under the control of the flute, still fought tenaciously against them.
