"L-Long Aotian? Why are you here? And why are you disguised as a member of the Gu Family?!"
The Old Madman instinctively took two steps back, putting distance between himself and Su Ye.
Su Ye's furtive behavior made the Old Madman suspicious.
"Of course I disguised myself as a Gu Family member so I could move around freely. I couldn't exactly barge through the Gu Family with this handsome face, could I? How else would I get into the Gu Family Library and find information on how they raised Gu Worms?"
The Old Madman froze. "You came to find information on how the Gu Family raises Gu Worms?"
"Of course. I want to study how the Gu Family raises them, and how they feed and breed Gu Worms."
"That's why you infiltrated the Gu Family?"
The Old Madman looked puzzled, but he was much less wary of Su Ye.
"What else? Does the Gu Family have anything else I'd care about?"
"Ah, no, no! Nothing!"
The Old Madman waved his hands repeatedly.
Meanwhile, his thoughts raced.
Why hadn't he realized it sooner? Who else could be an Eighth Heaven expert at such a young age but Long Aotian?
As for why Long Aotian had shown up at the Gu Family in disguise...
One look at him told you he was obsessed with cultivation. Otherwise, how could someone so young, with no real backing, have reached the Eighth Heaven?
It made perfect sense that he had come to the Gu Family to steal information on breeding and controlling Gu Worms!
Hadn't Long Aotian even struck a deal with the Old Madman to get his hands on the Feng Family's secret art, the Spiral Chaotic Wind Sword?
Long Aotian was a martial arts fanatic through and through!
Without a powerful family behind
