Chapter 5

Gu Yan walked over to an open space at the side and put the man down. A large patch of blood was present on the man’s abdomen, and fresh blood was gushing out still. This seems to be his main injury, and if this goes on, he may not be able to hold on till the ambulance arrives.

Gu Yan thought about it, and extended a hand to press on the man’s abdomen. In just a short moment, the bleeding was stopped.

He had already saved him so what happens next was none of his problem anymore. Gu Yan took his hand back and just as he was about to leave, the man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

Gu Yan’s eyes had turned sharp, and a flash of killing intent burst forth from his eyes. He was awake? Does that mean he had seen what he did?

However, with unfocused eyes, that man had only taken a look at Gu Yan before closing his eyes once again, and fell unconscious. Hsi chest was undulating faintly, he may have just woken up temporarily from shock. The coldness in Gu Yan’s eyes gradually faded, and he walked away.

Xu Ming wasn’t able to find a first aid kid, but fortunately, the ambulance arrived very soon after. A very well dressed young man had also come with. He watcher nervously as Fu Zhe Chuan was sent to the ambulance before coming towards Gu Yan. He said:”Nice to meet you, I am President Fu’s assistant, Zhang Han, thank you very much for your help. Please be sure to leave your contact information so that we can contact you!”

“Give him by business card,”said Gu Yan.

Zhang Han took the business card and thanked him many times before leaving together with the ambulance.

In his perturbation, Xu Ming looked towards Gu Yan and asked cautiously:”Are we......still going there now?”

“Of course.”Gu Yan shot him a glance.

There were no more complaints this time when Xu Ming drove, he had just had a run in with death so his mood had yet to recover. Moreover, he felt very embarrassed towards how ‘wrong’ he was about Gu Yan’s cold-bloodedness, he had to work harder now.

Everything went smoothly after that, and they quickly reached their destination.

Xu Ming pointed towards a river at the front,”A couple who was passing by on that day found you here and saved you. Do you still remember what happened?”

Gu Yan ignored him. He closed his eyes and stood there without moving.

There were no trace of fluctuations in the space, and there wasn’t any hint of demonic energy either. It seems he had come over for nothing, the crack in space had already merged back by itself, even the demonic energy was gone now after several days had passed.

But this did not exceed his expectations, they’ve been preparing for more than a thousand years, and finally the leader of the demon world himself had personally made his move, it took a gigantic amount of effort before he was finally able to get through that gap in space——And that gap had also just been a temporary one. The space that connected the two worlds had the ability to recover itself automatically, it was unlikely for a crack to stay forever.

But fortunately, we have already passed over. The thought caused a smile to appear on Gu Yan’s lips.

Trying to connect the two worlds from the demon world was almost as hard as climbing into heaven, but this was a way simpler process in the human world.

“Let’s go back.”Gu Yan had already made us of this, and so there was no need for them to stay any longer.

But as soon as he turned around, he found that Xu Ming was looking at him with a strange look. There was worry, complication, nervousness, there were all kinds of emotions in his eyes.

Gu Yan thought about it, and said something which was rare for him:”I didn’t kill myself, don’t think too much about it.”

The last memory the original host had was that he had been pushed from the back into the water, as well as the despairing struggle in the darkness. He could still feel that strong desire to live lingering, so it was not possible for it to be a suicide.

Hearing his admission coming from his own mouth, Xu Ming could finally feel some relief and he was able to speak easier,”I knew that wasn’t true, it had to be an accident. Those damned reporters, they don’t care about the truth, all they care about is fanning the flames and watching things blow up, talking trash all day long.”

“Slander? Then just sue them,”said Gu Yan casually.

“......”

What is going on? There was nothing wrong with anything Gu Yan had said, but why did it feel so strange to Xu Ming?

Have you figured out your own status? Is it really fine to be so domineering like that? Don’t you know those reporters and the media could force a small-time star like you to the edge at any minute?!

..............................

Early the next morning, the golden sunlight was shining in through the window, leaving a faint warmth as it shone on Gu Yan’s face as he woke up in his soft bed.

Though he had come to the human world for quite a few days, opening his eyes to this bright world still didn’t feel real. This place was not at all like the demon world, it was rich and beautiful, it really tempted one to want to take it all for themselves.

He walked down the stairs and saw the breakfast Xu Ming had finished preparing for him, it was a simple meal of bread and coffee.

After breakfast, Gu Yan changed into a new set of clothes and told Xu Ming:”Prepare the carriage.”

“The car? Where are you going?”Asked Xu Ming in surprise. As for Gu Yan’s strange choice of wording......He chose to ignore it selectively.

Gu Yan looked down at him,”Isn’t the audition day?”

“But it’s been canceled!”Xu Ming found that he really couldn’t keep up with Gu Yan’s train of thought!

“Are you questioning my decision?”Gu Yan looked at Xu Ming with cold eyes.

Subconsciously, a chill ran down Xu Ming’s spine,”I, I’ll prepare it right now!”

Only after he had gotten downstairs did he finally came back to his senses, he had actually agreed to Gu Yan’s nonsense just like that! And earlier......And what on earth was that strange urge to reply to him with ‘yes sire’ just now, hey!

Ah whatever, who knows how long he still has to keep up with this job......

Though Xu Ming was complaining in his heart, he had still driven him to the hotel where the crew was located.

This was an emotional urban drama but it didn’t have any top celebrities in it worth speaking of. Both the male and female lead actors were pretty faces that were new in the scene, but at the very least they were more popular than Gu Yan, they could still be considered second-rate celebrities. For them to invite Gu Yan for the audition of the third supporting character wasn’t an insult——It was what he should be getting.

Right now, Gu Yan was notorious for his bad reputation, there were probably no crews that were willing to accept him now.

Xu Ming followed right behind Gu Yan and braced himself as he walked forward. He could almost see the two of them getting kicked out the front door.

Thinking back to what happened last night, he thought to himself that perhaps Gu Yan was feeling too rushed about this. If they waited a few days for Fu Zhe Chuan to recover, it wouldn’t be too much to ask him for some help, right? Would he still be unable to receive the TV series project then? There was clearly a golden thigh he could hold on to, but he had to choose to run his head against the wall himself!

Xu Ming toughened himself up and knocked on the door.

A young girl poked her head out and looked at them in confusion,”You are?”

“Hello, can we please trouble you to tell Director Zhang that we’re here for the audition?”Said Xu Ming with a smile.

The girl mulled over it for a moment,”But our audition just ended, everyone should’ve been here already, ah......I remember now, you’re Gu Yan,”said she as she pointed towards Gu Yan.
