The Strongest Sentinel (6): He had no power to resist and was thrown onto Zhou Qinghao’s bed!

Gu Juntian didn’t reply in time because he didn’t know what to say.

Saying he didn’t need so much money and returning it to Zhou Qinghao seemed like wanting to draw a clear line with him. Saying thank you and accepting the money didn’t feel quite right either…

Gu Juntian could only go through the original owner’s previous replies, and with each turn, he felt more and more embarrassed.

The original owner actually copied love messages from the internet and sent them to Zhou Qinghao!

What kind of taste did Zhou Qinghao have? He actually liked someone like the original owner!

Gu Juntian couldn’t bring himself to copy love messages from the internet and send them to Zhou Qinghao. When asked to write a reply himself, he didn’t know how to do it and couldn’t help but frown in distress.

“Gu Juntian, you answer this question.” The teacher called Gu Juntian up.

Gu Juntian stood up, somewhat relieved that he had reviewed the material for today and could answer the teacher’s questions.

Seeing that Gu Juntian answered correctly, the teacher’s expression finally softened: “You can read other books during class, but don’t play with the terminal.”

Their university was open to enrolling commoners from the outskirts.

Children from the outskirts, less than one-tenth could go to college. Education was very important for them; it could change their fate.

Therefore, the learning atmosphere at the school was very strong, and the teachers were very strict with the students.

“Teacher, I understand,” Gu Juntian said.

He didn’t look at the communication terminal anymore, planning to go directly to Zhou Qinghao’s place after school.

Zhou Qinghao only transferred the money and didn’t send him a message, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

Gu Juntian continued to focus on his studies.

But he couldn’t concentrate, and Zhou Qinghao’s image kept popping up in his mind.

Zhou Qinghao really looked strong; fighting with Zhou Qinghao must be a very exhilarating experience.

He was itching to move, his mind filled with thoughts of Zhou Qinghao.

Feeling that this couldn’t go on, Gu Juntian took a deep breath, pulled out a chunk of his own mental power, threw it into the middle of the spiritual sea, creating chaos in the spiritual sea to calm himself down.

At this rate, he would become a guide in just a month.

By then, he would let Zhou Qinghao get a good night’s sleep; Zhou Qinghao looked too tired…

Why was he starting to think about Zhou Qinghao again? This really wasn’t good!

He should focus on studying and his career!

Gu Juntian was diligently studying.

He sighed after watching for an unknown amount of time.

Forget it, if he wanted to think about Zhou Qinghao, then let him think about Zhou Qinghao. Defeating Zhou Qinghao was his motivation to become stronger, so there was nothing wrong with thinking about it.

Gu Juntian was studying while enduring the excruciating pain in his mind, unaware that a few people not far away were observing him.

“Gu Juntian has been sweating the whole time; he must be very uncomfortable,” one of the middle-aged men said.

A beautiful young woman stood next to the middle-aged man. Of course, she looked young, but her actual age should not be small. Her eyes were full of vicissitudes: “His mental power has been leaking continuously; the condition of his spiritual sea is probably very bad.”

“Yesterday, that little guide helped him with some mental adjustment, but his mental power got hurt. His spiritual sea must be very turbulent.”

“His mental state is so poor, yet he can still sit there as if nothing is wrong… No wonder Zhou Qinghao values him.”

These people were from the faction of the governor.

Yesterday, the governor’s son was killed by Zhou Qinghao.

Although he was not the only son of the governor, it still infuriated the governor.

They were just too cautious and dared not pull any more tricks like cutting supplies for Zhou Qinghao’s army.

Zhou Qinghao was a lunatic. What if he suddenly attacked them?

They definitely didn’t want to die!

At this moment, they just wanted Zhou Qinghao to die, preferably quickly!

But Zhou Qinghao was a person without weaknesses and was hard to approach.

They placed people around Zhou Qinghao, bribed those close to him, and hired guides to get close to him, but none of it worked.

Zhou Qinghao’s trusted subordinates could not be swayed by them, and apart from Zhou Qinghao’s trusted subordinates, the only one who could get close to Zhou Qinghao was Gu Juntian.

Previously, they didn’t understand why Gu Juntian was treated differently.

Gu Juntian was just an ordinary D-level sentinel, nothing special about him, but Zhou Qinghao actually let him into his home.

Zhou Qinghao’s reception room was not difficult to enter; even his subordinates could enter. However, as far as they knew, only Gu Juntian had been to Zhou Qinghao’s living quarters.

Because Gu Juntian was very handsome, at first, they thought Zhou Qinghao had taken a liking to Gu Juntian.

Zhou Qinghao had been so ascetic all these years, perhaps because of his peculiar habits.

But according to their observations, Gu Juntian moved freely, not like someone who had been tormented by Zhou Qinghao.

They were puzzled and couldn’t figure it out, so they contacted a guide to reach Gu Juntian, but they didn’t get any useful information.

Looking back now… if Gu Juntian was a talented person and his father had saved Zhou Qinghao, then would it be normal for Zhou Qinghao to value him more?

At this moment, one person said, “Gu Juntian reads very quickly and has an astonishing learning ability. Do you think he might be the successor that Zhou Qinghao is secretly cultivating?”

Everyone was startled upon hearing this.

After a Guide merged with a Sentinel of a higher level, they could completely soothe the Sentinel’s spiritual sea.

But without the bond, it was very difficult for a guide to calm a sentinel of higher level.

Zhou Qinghao’s mental strength was too strong. When he was still very young, the only S-level guide in the base, the governor’s wife, tried to soothe Zhou Qinghao’s mental strength, but she failed.

She even felt that, even if she were to be with Zhou Qinghao, it might not be enough to calm him down.

In other words, Zhou Qinghao would eventually die due to a mental breakdown.

At that time, everyone generally believed that Zhou Qinghao would live to be at most in his twenties. Because of this, they did not take timely action to restrict Zhou Qinghao’s development in the military.

They never expected that Zhou Qinghao actually made it to his thirties!

Living to his thirties was one thing, but Zhou Qinghao was becoming more and more unmanageable!

They thought Zhou Qinghao would die soon, but for the past ten years, they had always thought so, and Zhou Qinghao never died!

This made some of them lose their composure. During the recently concluded beast tide, the governor’s son tested Zhou Qinghao and ultimately lost his life.

However, no matter what, someone like Zhou Qinghao would probably want to cultivate an heir.

Could this Gu Juntian be the heir he had trained?

But Gu Juntian was just a D-level sentinel…

“Keep a closer watch on Gu Juntian.”

“Let that little guide keep up the good work.”

“Arrange for someone to get close to Gu Juntian’s family.”

…

These people left quickly.

After they left, Gu Juntian glanced out the window.

Just now, he sensed danger, as if someone was secretly watching him.

But he couldn’t capture any information.

However, there was no doubt that someone was watching him.

It didn’t matter that he was being watched; in the short term, those people wouldn’t act rashly. Even if they did make a move, he could sense the danger in time. Right now, he was only worried about his mother.

In the original plot, when Zhou Qinghao took people away from Base One, he took Mother Gu with him, while the original character didn’t care about his own mother at all.

Since he was using this body, the original owner’s mother was now his mother. He must find a way to ensure her safety.

Just as he was thinking this, Gu Juntian felt his communication terminal vibrate twice again.

The professor kept staring at him, but he didn’t look.

His head had been hurting, and he didn’t have much interest in watching…

Until after class, Gu Juntian only then realized that Zhou Qinghao had transferred another million to him and sent him a message: “Have you found a guide to treat your spiritual sea? Do you want me to introduce one to you?”

Gu Juntian: “…… So that two million was for finding a guide to help him sort out his spiritual sea?”

Hiring a guide didn’t cost this much at all; Zhou Qinghao gave way too much!

Did he think he was about to die, so he was throwing money around everywhere?

Thinking of this, Gu Juntian felt a wave of discomfort.

Wait until he cured Zhou Qinghao, he must make Zhou Qinghao change this bad habit of giving money to others.

By then, his strength would have increased, and he could still give Zhou Qinghao money!

Gu Juntian replied, “I was in class just now and didn’t see the message. My spiritual sea is fine now, no need to find a guide.”

At Zhou Qinghao’s home, in the reception room where he committed the murder yesterday.

Seeing Gu Juntian’s reply, Zhou Qinghao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Gu Juntian didn’t need to find a guide because that guide from yesterday had already helped him sort out his mental power and calm his spiritual sea, right?

Yesterday, they stood so close together…

“Teacher?” A voice called out, and Zhou Qinghao finally snapped back to reality, looking at the two young people in front of him.

Many people thought he would die in his early twenties, and he used to think so too.

So, he started looking for a successor very early on.

In Base One, the majority were ordinary people, and these ordinary people were mostly civilians.

Their descendants were most likely ordinary people, but there was a certain probability that they would naturally awaken as Guides or Sentinels. Additionally, some people could awaken as Sentinels through genetic drugs.

Most of those who awakened through genetic drugs were low-level sentinels and could not be his successors. Zhou Qinghao was looking for those who naturally awakened.

He started doing this when he was around seventeen or eighteen, and now, it had been going on for over ten years.

Over the course of more than a decade, he had trained over forty naturally awakened sentinels.

Some of them were bribed by the powerful and betrayed him midway, some just wanted to live a stable life and had no intention of taking on heavy responsibilities, and some died in the wilderness.

As of now, only a little over twenty people were left.

These people were all his trusted confidants, and from these more than twenty people, he selected two to focus on nurturing.

These two people, one was an S-level sentinel with astonishing combat power, and he was also his hidden trump card, named Xiang Tiange.

Another one was a C-level sentinel. He had average combat skills but possesses an astonishing ability to learn and exceptional intelligence, named Tang Chen.

Xiang Tiange didn’t have a guide, which made it hard for him to focus on thinking, but his combat skills were indeed very strong, and he was still willing to listen to Tang Chen’s words.

Tang Chen had a guide. He was bonded with a D-level guide who naturally awakened among the civilians, which gave him a calm spiritual sea, clear thinking, and the ability to become the think tank of their group.

Zhou Qinghao had observed them for a long time, had already determined that they could be trusted, and thus gradually began to transfer some of his power to them.

Now, it was Tang Chen who was speaking.

Zhou Qinghao said, “I’m a bit tired, you guys go ahead. Tang Chen, I’ll need you to handle the follow-up matters.” Just a moment ago, Gu Juntian sent him a message saying he would come to find him after class.

He needed to calm down a bit, to avoid ending up in a state where he might do something irreversible.

“Yes, teacher.” Tang Chen took Xiang Tiange and left.

Zhou Qinghao’s condition was getting worse and worse. If he wanted to live a little longer, it was best for him to stay in the specially designed quiet room for a long time.

Zhou Qinghao’s bedroom was that specially designed quiet room.

After the two left, Zhou Qinghao returned to his bedroom and lay quietly.

Time passed particularly slowly for him.

Even with the specially designed wall barrier, he still received too much information.

His brain was constantly processing this information, never having a moment of rest, and he couldn’t help but think of Gu Juntian.

A long time ago, he had used his mental power to “track” Gu Juntian and sensed the interactions between Gu Juntian and that guide.

In front of him, Gu Juntian was reserved and fearful, but in front of that guide, Gu Juntian was warm and cheerful…

He didn’t know how long it had been, but Gu Juntian’s scent had appeared near his house.

Gu Juntian came to his house.

Gu Juntian had cleaned himself thoroughly, so he didn’t carry the guide’s scent, but there was a faint trace of other people’s smells on him, likely from encountering others on the way.

He didn’t like the smell of someone else on Gu Juntian.

He urgently wanted to see Gu Juntian.

Zhou Qinghao opened the door and saw his young and energetic boyfriend.

Although Gu Juntian came from a commoner’s background, he hadn’t really suffered much from childhood to adulthood. He looked delicate and tender, with a glint in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Juntian greeted him with a smile, “Qinghao!”

Zhou Qinghao sensed it and found that Gu Juntian’s spiritual sea was very calm, finally putting his mind at ease.

But thinking about the reason Gu Juntian’s spiritual sea was calm, the emotions he had barely suppressed began to surge in his mind again.

It was Gu Juntian who actively pursued him and confessed his feelings. Gu Juntian also took a lot of money from him.

He could do something to Gu Juntian, right?

When Gu Juntian confessed to him, he should have been prepared to get close to him.

His whole life, he had been killing mutated beasts, living a very hard life. Now that he was about to die, couldn’t he have a bit of enjoyment?

“Qinghao, have you eaten? I made you some food,” Gu Juntian asked.

On his way here, he bought some mutated beast meat.

He used the sentinel’s keen nose to pick the best meat, planning to bring it back and share it with Zhou Qinghao after cooking.

As for the method… many seasonings the sentinels couldn’t eat, so just a simple roast, fry, or boil would do. The kitchens in the base were very advanced; he just needed to press a button.

“Not yet.” Zhou Qinghao said.

“Then I’ll go cook.” Gu Juntian took the mutated beast meat and went to the kitchen.

Zhou Qinghao followed him and stood outside the kitchen, watching Juntian cook.

Cooking would produce some smells, but these smells were not dangerous and wouldn’t make him uncomfortable.

After those scents suppressed the smell of others on Gu Juntian, Zhou Qinghao even felt an uncontrollable sense of satisfaction.

If only Gu Juntian could always stay at his house with him.

Cooking with a smart kitchen was just fast. Gu Juntian quickly cooked the mutated beast meat and came out with a plate, saying, “Dinner is ready.”

The plates the sentinels use for their meals were much larger than those of ordinary people.

Their mental faculties were very active, constantly gathering information from their surroundings, which made their brains exceptionally active and required a lot of energy to sustain.

The calories burned by mental labor were equivalent to those burned by physical labor. The mental activities of the sentinels far surpass those of ordinary people.

That nutritious meal, an ordinary person would be full after eating two or three hundred grams, but a sentinel would eat at least one kilogram, and that was under the condition that they were not participating in combat.

Gu Juntian bought ten kilograms of mutated beast meat today and even cooked it all in one go.

Zhou Qinghao was so powerful, he must eat a lot. As for him… he had been tormenting his spiritual sea, and now every cell in his body was clamoring for him to replenish energy and eat meat.

The two of them were eating face to face.

This kind of mutated beast meat was much more expensive than what the original owner’s mother bought, and it tasted better too. Gu Juntian was very satisfied with the meal and ate the meat very quickly.

Zhou Qinghao felt a bit calmer as he watched Juntian enjoy his meal so happily.

He asked, “Can you stay over tonight? In the guest room.”

Gu Juntian said, “Not today, my mom is waiting for me at home, I need to go home.” He wanted to become a guide, which required merging the two strands of mental power in his mind.

In that case, his spiritual sea would undergo violent turbulence.

If he stayed here with Zhou Qinghao, Zhou Qinghao would definitely notice something unusual about him.

Yesterday, his spiritual sea had issues, and Zhou Qinghao kept asking repeatedly, worrying for a long time. He didn’t want Zhou Qinghao to worry.

Zhou Qinghao heard Gu Juntian say he was going home, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the chopsticks. The steel chopsticks in his hand instantly bent.

Gu Juntian across the room looked over, and when Zhou Qinghao met Gu Juntian’s innocent gaze, he couldn’t help but remember the past.

Every time Gu Juntian left from here, he always went to find that little guide who lived in the inner city.

Today, Gu Juntian got so much money in hand, he should buy some gifts before going over.

Using his hands to straighten the chopsticks, Zhou Qinghao continued eating the mutated beast meat with an expressionless face.

Gu Juntian didn’t understand why Zhou Qinghao suddenly bent the chopsticks.

However, for the sentinels, even chopsticks made of steel were very fragile, and it was quite normal for them to get bent accidentally.

Seeing Zhou Qinghao continued eating, he didn’t dwell on it too much and also focused on his meal.

Gu Juntian finished eating the meat first, then watched Zhou Qinghao eat.

Zhou Qinghao had a scar on his face and looked heavily fatigued, but he still looked good sitting there.

It was just that he couldn’t help but want to smooth out the slight furrow in Zhou Qinghao’s brow, erase Zhou Qinghao’s dark circles, and make Zhou Qinghao look radiant and exalted.

Various thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Gu Juntian couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, he felt the danger.

Zhou Qinghao stared at him intently, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and the overflowing mental power exerted immense pressure on him.

“Qinghao?” Gu Juntian called out in confusion, and then felt a wave of dizziness.

Zhou Qinghao suddenly hugged him and walked towards the bedroom!

At that moment, Gu Juntian’s fighting spirit surged, wanting to suppress Zhou Qinghao, but his combat power couldn’t compare to Zhou Qinghao’s, and his struggle was in vain.

He had no power to resist and was thrown onto Zhou Qinghao’s bed by Zhou Qinghao!
