Gu Beiyue brought Lil Thing all the way to the end of the corridor and left the medical academy through the back door.
Lil Thing sat on the young master's shoulder, full of suspicion. From time to time, it would tilt its head to look at the young master and squeak a few times to ask questions.
It's so late, where is the young master going? And he's going through the back door of the medical academy, as if he doesn't want anyone to know he's gone out.
"Squeak squeak, squeak squeak …" Lil Thing squeaked a few more times.
Gu Beiyue took Lil Thing off his shoulder and placed it in his palm. He looked at it and said softly, "Be good, we're almost there. Don't worry."
Lil Thing didn't understand, but it knew that the young master wanted it to squeak again. It rubbed against the young master's large and warm palm and settled down.
Gradually, Gu Beiyue sped up. His figure was like a shadow as he swept through the empty and quiet streets. He was so fast that Lil Thing couldn't recognize the road.
Not long after, they entered a secluded alley and stopped in front of the door of a house. Lil Thing's round black eyes darted around in the dark. It felt like it was about to learn another secret of the young master.
Gu Beiyue looked around and made sure that no one was around before knocking on the door. The speed at which he knocked on the door was clearly a special rhythm. It was a secret signal.
Soon, someone opened the door. It was none other than Xi Yubo, who had been missing in Medical City for a long time. Back then, Gu Beiyue had used him to lure Han Yunxi to Medical City.
"Master," Xi Yubo said respectfully.
Gu Beiyue didn't say anything and walked in. Lil Thing laid on his shoulder and stared at Xi Yubo. It didn't recognize him at all.
It was a very small house.
Gu Beiyue quickly walked into the room. At this time, Lil Thing discovered that there was a child hidden in the room. It was about one month old and was sleeping soundly.
Lil Thing was even more puzzled. What was the young master doing? Where did these babies come from?
Gu Beiyue personally checked the baby's pulse, limbs, and especially the shape of its feet.
Xi Yubo quickly came in and whispered, "Master, this child's feet are not bad, right?"
This child was an abandoned baby found by Xi Yubo. Xi Yubo had made a mistake in the Long Tianmo incident, so Gu Beiyue had him leave Medical City to take care of abandoned babies.
He needed some children to start practicing Shadow Arts from a young age. To practice the Shadow Art, one had to start from a young age.
Although the Shadow Technique was a secret technique of the Shadow Clan, it wasn't something that only members of the Shadow Clan could practice. Outsiders could also practice it. Outsiders needed to start training their leg strength and footwork from a much younger age compared to the Shadow Clansmen. Moreover, their speed after training would be far slower than the Shadow Clansmen.
However, it was still very easy to overpower an ordinary Qing Gong.
He was the only remaining member of the Shadow Clan. Since he had found the princess, he couldn't let the Shadow Clan die out in his generation. He also couldn't let the Shadow Technique end on him.
He had been secretly cultivating a few real Shadow Guards for the princess, but it would take more than one or two years.
Shadow Guard, as the name implied, was a bodyguard that was like a shadow. Not only was there a high requirement for martial arts, but there was also a high requirement for moral conduct. It wasn't for anything else, but because a Shadow Guard was the person closest to the master, and also the person who understood the master the most. They could know secrets that other servants didn't know. If they didn't have good moral conduct, they would be a hidden danger to the master.
Therefore, whether it was martial arts or moral conduct, he had to personally check.
He needed to train a few Shadow Guards, and more importantly, he needed a true successor of the Shadow Clan. He had been searching for the most suitable body type and the most suitable leg shape.
However, he didn't expect Xi Yubo to find it so quickly. The child in front of him was exactly what he wanted.
"It's him." Gu Beiyue asked indifferently, "How many days has it been a month?"
"Another seven days!" Xi Yubo answered truthfully, "Master, you still have ten days to get married. So, it's reasonable that he was born a month early. "
"It's not a problem, I'll find a way when the time comes." Gu Beiyue nodded.
Xi Yubo couldn't help but remind him, "Master, even if you want to adopt a child, it doesn't have to be Eldest Miss Qin! As long as you ask, there are many women in Medical City who are willing. "
Master didn't care about marriage, nor did he care about romantic relationships. He only wanted to marry a wife, adopt a child, and treat it as his own son to continue the Shadow Clan's bloodline. Not only did he want to let the world know that the Shadow Clan was behind the princess, but he also wanted to give an explanation to the Shadow Clan's ancestors.
However, there were many women who were willing to follow Master in name only, and there were many who were more outstanding than Eldest Miss Qin. Why did Master choose a woman that no one wanted?
Gu Beiyue raised his eyebrows and looked over. Xi Yubo immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say more.
Why did it have to be Eldest Miss Qin? There were too many reasons why he wanted to marry Eldest Miss Qin.
First, the Qin Family was a great power in Medical City, and the only power that could contend with the Ren Family. If he married Eldest Miss Qin, the Ren Family would definitely be anxious and wouldn't dare to oppose Medical City's submission to the Long Fei Ye and the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Second, it was difficult for Eldest Miss Qin to marry outside because of her handicapped body, and she didn't want to marry. If he married her, he would give her a stable environment, and she would help him "give birth" to a child. Each of them would get what they needed, and it wouldn't be considered as holding her back. If it were another girl from the Qin Family, he would really hold her back for the rest of her life.
In this life, he wouldn't hold anyone back, and he wouldn't let them down.
Thirdly, he trusted the character of the First Miss of the Qin family! Marrying a wife was a matter of life. If she wasn't someone he trusted, and the truth was revealed in three to five years, how would he deal with it?
Gu Beiyue leaned close to the infant and gently kissed its forehead, saying softly, "Child, from now on, you're no longer an orphan. I'll watch you grow up."
Suddenly, the little thing squeaked.
Heavens!
The young master actually kissed that child! Who was this child? Could it be the young master's illegitimate child? Why didn't it know who the child's mother was?
The little thing finally couldn't stay calm. It squeaked loudly while jumping to the child's side, wanting to see it more clearly.
The baby was disturbed. Its little face wrinkled, and it looked like it was about to cry.
Xi Yubo hurriedly picked it up and coaxed it. Gu Beiyue picked the little thing up. He didn't get angry, but seriously asked it to be quiet.
The little thing kicked its feet, wanting to ask clearly. Unfortunately, no matter how much it struggled, the young master didn't understand what it meant.
Suddenly, the little thing quieted down. It lowered its head, feeling sad.
So what if the young master understood what it meant? So what if the young master answered it? It also didn't understand what the young master said.
The Young Master had never been mine! There were many things about the young master that it didn't know!
Seeing that the little thing stopped moving, Gu Beiyue gently stroked its back, and then put it on his shoulder. Lil Thing slowly curled up into a ball and looked pitifully at the child. It couldn't help but feel sad.
Mama Yunxi, did you know that the young master has a child too?
"Take care of it personally. This matter is confidential, so don't let anyone else do it," Gu Beiyue instructed.
Xi Yubo nodded respectfully. "Yes, this subordinate understands."
After returning to the medical academy, Gu Beiyue's mood didn't change much. He was still as calm as still water and quickly fell asleep.
Lil Thing, on the other hand, was curled up in Gu Beiyue's stomach. Every now and then, it'd switch positions and go back and forth, unable to sleep!
In the end, it simply jumped off the bed and onto a nearby cabinet, planning to run out the window for some fresh air. Unexpectedly, it saw five or six red invitation cards on top of the cabinet.
Alarmed, Lil Thing quickly opened the cards, but it couldn't understand them at all.
Who's getting married?
There's so many of them. They don't seem like the young master's own invitations, but his own!
Heavens! When did the young master write them? I didn't even know!
Lil Thing grew more and more uneasy. It picked up one of the cards and ran back to bed, flinging it at Gu Beiyue's face.
Gu Beiyue woke up and looked at the fuming Lil Thing, then at the invitation card on the side. He gave a start before bursting into laughter.
He definitely didn't know how handsome his sleepy face looked when he smiled. He didn't have his usual calmness and maturity. Instead, he looked lazy and casual. His originally handsome face suddenly looked devilish.
Lil Thing stared blankly.
Sir, just what kind of person are you? Lil Thing couldn't understand you at all.
Gu Beiyue picked up the invitation card and flipped through it before getting off the bed to exchange it for another one. He handed it to Lil Thing with both hands with a smile. "I'm getting married. This is for you."
Lil Thing was even more certain that the young master was the one who wanted to send out these invitations. This letter was meant for it. The young master was really getting married!
Was the woman he was going to marry the mother of that child I just saw? Lil Thing didn't move, but its round, black eyes were already wet.
Gu Beiyue couldn't help but laugh at Lil Thing's pitiful look. "Don't worry. No matter who I marry, I'll only treat your master well."
Lil Thing only saw the young master's smile and didn't know what he said. It slapped the invitation card away with its paw and immediately flew out of the window.
"Angry?" Gu Beiyue muttered to himself.
Once the little thing got angry, it disappeared for a few days straight. Gu Beiyue didn't look for it either. He knew Lil Thing would come back.
A few days later, Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er were rescued. There were only three days left until Gu Beiyue's wedding.
The news of Gu Beiyue's wedding had spread throughout the Medical City, but the medical school was still as usual. There wasn't the slightest bit of celebration. It was because Gu Beiyue had given the order not to be extravagant, not to hold a banquet, and not to affect the medical school's teaching and treatment.
Because of this order, it caused a lot of conjectures. Everyone increasingly suspected that Gu Beiyue had other motives for marrying Eldest Miss Qin and that he didn't really like her. However, no matter how many rumors and slanders there were, Gu Beiyue never clarified any of them.
When Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er saw Gu Beiyue, the tailor had just changed out of the clothes sent by the tailor. The clothes didn't fit very well.
When he saw Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked over. "Princess, Miss Ling' er, did you have a safe trip?
