The two of them pretended to have nothing to do and paid the money for the jade token.
The moment they made the purchase, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Yao When he was about to put the jade token into his bag, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
Lan Yao was shocked and looked at Gu Sheng hurriedly.
Gu Sheng turned to one side and stepped on Lan Yao's feet.
Lan Yao was in pain. As soon as his hand was loosened, the jade medal fell into Gu Sheng's hand.
Holding the jade token steadily, Gu Sheng took a step back and stuffed the jade token directly into the storage ring.
Seeing the jade sign disappearing out of thin air, the person holding Lan Yao became a little anxious and hurriedly came to Gu Sheng's side.
"Brother, could you show me that jade plaque?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"We have already bought that jade plaque. If you are interested, brother, you can check out the other ones at the shopkeeper's desk."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "Sir, I have more than one jade plaque. You can choose and look at it as you like. I guarantee to give you the lowest price."
However, the man didn't even look at it, he just stared at Gu Sheng.
"Brother, I don't mean any harm. I just want to see that jade plaque. Just let me take a look. Just take a look."
Hearing the urgency in his words, Gu Sheng knew that this person must have some intention.
He stepped back again, refusing the request.
"I'm really sorry, it's inconvenient, Lan Yao, let's go."
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned around and left.
Seeing him leaving, the man was obviously a little anxious and stepped forward to stop him.
Gu Sheng had already seen his movements, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared into the crowd with everyone.
After walking around in a big circle, they stopped in front of an inn.
"Brother Sheng, are we going to stay here? Isn't this place a bit out of the way?"
After Shi Lou finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded.
"This place is a bit out of the way, but it's just right for us."
"Why? Aren't we trying to find out information? Aren't the more people asking for information, the better?"
"The more people we have, the better, but the man just now is obviously unusual. If we live in a crowded place, he will inevitably pester us."
Hearing this, Lan Yao hurriedly asked, "Gu Sheng, can you feel that that person is unusual?"
"Yes, he was obviously suppressing his strength when facing us. He may not have any malicious intentions, or he may be brewing greater malice. We have to guard against him."
Understanding what he meant, everyone followed him into the inn.
They asked for several upper rooms and finally had a good night's rest.
It was rare to sleep on the bed, so everyone slept in.
There's nothing urgent here, Gu Sheng just let them go.
This inn is located in a remote location and there are not many people.
When it was time to eat, Gu Sheng went downstairs. There were only a few tables downstairs.
After asking the waiter to prepare a table of wine and food, Gu Sheng sat alone at the table.
At this time, two waiters who had nothing to do came together and whispered something.
Gu Sheng didn't pay attention at first, but when he accidentally heard the words "Black Demons", he immediately cheered up.
"It is said that they joined forces with the evil sect and were exterminated because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. You don't even know that those people died miserably."
"How come I don't know? This matter has caused quite a stir. I'm afraid everyone in Manjianghong knows about it. The shopkeeper went to that place a while ago, and I went with him. Black Fiend Sect was surrounded by people from all sects, and there were no survivors there. Everyone could only attack their corpses, and some even cut their corpses open, just to find evidence of their collusion with the evil sect."
"Have those famous sects also taken action? Such a big thing has happened and the world has been in turmoil. They shouldn't be able to sit still, right?"
"No, it is said that White Cloud Sect, the largest sect in the world..."
As soon as the waiter said this, a group of people suddenly walked into the inn.
When a customer came, the two waiters quickly stopped and greeted him enthusiastically.
The topic came to an abrupt end, and Gu Sheng was quite disappointed.
He looked at the person with some dissatisfaction, and when they looked at each other, the person's eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards him.
"Brother, I didn't expect us to meet again."
Looking at the person coming, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
Because this person was none other than the person who stopped them for the jade token that day.
He lived in such a remote place just to avoid him, but he didn't expect to encounter him.
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence."
"Brother, do you still have that jade plaque in your hand?"
Hearing him mention this again, Gu Sheng frowned unconsciously.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I really don't have any ill intentions, I just want to take a look."
"Didn't you see it that day? Is there anything else interesting to see?"
"I was in a rush that day and didn't look carefully. You want me to take another look, just one look, okay?"
"No."
After the cold refusal, Gu Sheng went back to the room directly.
As soon as he walked in, Lan Yao opened the door and walked in.
"Didn't you say you want to eat? Why are you back again?"
"The people who want to compete with us for the jade medal are here."
Hearing this, Lan Yao looked shocked.
"He actually came here? Gu Sheng, what do you think his purpose is?"
"I don't know either."
Seeing that Gu Sheng had no idea, Lan Yao was anxious.
"That jade token is the personal jade token of the White Cloud Sect's previous leader. Very few people know it. Because of a melee, this jade token was left outside, but he recognized it at a glance. This shows that this person is by no means simple."
Gu Sheng agrees with what he said, but can't figure out the identity of this person.
"Gu Sheng, you said he won't kill us and take away the jade token, right? After all, the jade token symbolizes a lot. Even if a beggar goes to the White Cloud Sect with the jade token, he might be able to ask for a seal. He is not a simple person at first glance. He seems to have some status. If the jade token is taken away by him, he may become famous. With such a big temptation, will he be murderous?"
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Sheng found this answer very confusing.
After contacting him twice, he didn't feel the murderous aura from the man, and even his aura was easily suppressed. However, it was impossible to say that he didn't have bad intentions, because he obviously came here for the jade token. The fact that he was able to find this this time was obviously intentional.
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng sighed.
"If he Yin souls doesn't leave, we will try our best to exploit him. If we join forces, he may not be our opponent."
Lan Yao had no choice but to nod.
After a while, the waiter came over.
"Sir, your food and wine are all ready. When will it be served?"
"Now."
After being prepared to confront him, Gu Sheng both of them felt a lot calmer. If that person could find him, he would definitely settle here. It's not a problem to hide, it's better to face him directly.
A group of people went downstairs and saw the man sitting at the table.
Gu Sheng ignored him and sat down directly at his table.
While they were eating, the man's eyes frequently fell on their faces. Gu Sheng noticed it, but ignored it at all.
The meal was quite peaceful, but as soon as Gu Sheng put down his chopsticks, the man came over.
Looking at him, Gu Sheng's expression was not pretty.
"Why do you have to see the jade plaque?"
"Brother, this jade plaque is very important to me."
"Is it important to you? Which sect are you from?"
"No one has any sect."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Sheng's face suddenly turned cold.
It would be understandable if this person said that he belonged to the White Cloud Sect. After all, the jade medal belonged to an elder of the previous generation of the White Cloud Sect. But if he said that he had no affiliation, then the possibility of Lan Yao's guess was even greater.
"You don't have to pester me anymore. I won't take out this jade token again. If you want to play dirty tricks, we will be with you at any time."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the man seemed to want to say something else, but Gu Sheng didn't give him the chance at all, and turned around and left with everyone.
They went to the market to get information, and the man followed them.
Gu Sheng just pretended that he couldn't see him and focused on trying to find out the information he wanted.
Sure enough, the story of the Black Fiend Sect was widely circulated, and many people in the world were discussing it.
In a teahouse, two tables of people were discussing this matter animatedly.
Gu Sheng and others stopped and took a seat closest to them.
On the surface, everyone seemed to be drinking tea, but in fact they were all listening.
These people were talking about a lot of things, but they couldn't get to the point. Lan Yao was a little impatient, so Gu Sheng raised his hand and pressed him.
Not long after, someone at the table said, "You don't know, right? It is said that White Cloud Sect's Eldest Young Master also came to learn about this matter."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
White Cloud Sect's Eldest Young Master? Bai Feng?
"I have heard about this. My brother who climbed a high tree told me, but he said it while drunk. I didn't dare to take it seriously. Who did you listen to?"
"I heard what my father said. My father went to do business, and the people he interacted with were all well-known people in the world. How can the news they tell you be false?"
"If this is true, once White Cloud Sect's Eldest Young Master comes out, it will represent the entire White Cloud Sect, and this world will surely stop causing trouble."
"That's not necessarily true. Although White Cloud Sect is the number one faction in the world, it has not been seen for many years. No one knows how strong they are now. If they can't show enough strength, they probably won't be able to deal with the villain behind the Black Fiend Sect. Think about it, that villain can even control Black Fiend Sect, and his methods must be unusual."
As soon as he finished saying this, many people nodded in agreement, including Lan Yao.
Black Fiend Sect's people were killed by him personally. They were indeed controlled by the evil sect. Those who can control them are certainly not weak.
As for the White Cloud Sect, their reputation is indeed very good, but no one has seen their specific strength. The last war was more than ten years ago, and now it has been more than ten years, and no one knows whether they have improved.
After listening to what the people at the two tables said, Gu Sheng and others got up and left.
As soon as he turned his head, the people who had followed him from the inn came to him.
Seeing his Yin souls persistence, Gu Sheng simply chose to ignore him.
The man no longer avoided the situation and followed directly behind Gu Sheng. He would go wherever he went, always keeping a distance but never leaving.
As night approached, Shi Lou pointed to a two-story building with some excitement.
"Brother Sheng, there should be a winery there. Should we go there and have a look?"
Looking up, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
There were two women leaning on the railing. They didn't look like a normal restaurant.
Just as he was about to refuse, Lan Yao grabbed him.
"Gu Sheng, let's go over and have a look. I've never been to a place like this."
After saying that, he pulled him forward without waiting for Gu Sheng to respond.
Shi Lou and others were even more active. They all gathered around Gu Sheng, for fear that he would not go.
Just like that, Gu Sheng was forcibly taken away by them.
After entering the door, the two women walked forward.
"Do you gentlemen want to drink?"
"Yes, do you have any good wine here?"
Lan Yao After asking, the woman covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled coquettishly.
"Don't worry, sir, we have all kinds of good wine here. We have whatever is available outside, and we also have what is not available outside."
After saying that, she even winked at Lan Yao.
Lan Yao scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"We're just here to drink."
"The slave family knows that you can just drink it with confidence. Just follow me."
Feeling that this place was unusual, a few people were afraid of causing trouble and did not go to the private room. Instead, they sat in the lobby downstairs.
After a few bottles of wine were served, Shi Lou's eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, the wine here is really unusual. As soon as you open the lid, the aroma of wine overflows. We need to drink more today."
Gu Sheng glanced at him, he shrank his head, turned around and tasted a drink by himself.
Gu Sheng also poured a glass and took a sip. The wine was fine, clean and tasted really good.
Seeing that Gu Sheng didn't speak after drinking, the few people became bolder.
After finishing a jar of wine, Lan Yao called for another jar.
Gu Sheng didn't say anything, but he didn't drink anymore.
Perhaps seeing that he didn't speak, Lan Yao became bolder and called for two more jars of wine.
Seeing their drunken looks, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown.
Just when he was about to speak, two women came over, put one hand around the back of Gu Sheng's neck, and leaned against him tenderly.
"Sir, how boring it is for a group of men to drink. Do you want us to accompany you?"
Gu Sheng pushed her away and said coldly, "No need."
The two women didn't pay attention and leaned towards him with a smile.
Gu Sheng refused again and again, but the woman seemed like she couldn't see it and was still talking to herself.
Gu Sheng was a little angry, his tone was much stronger, and his words did not sound pleasant.
The two women curled their lips before retreating.
Feeling a little angry in my heart, Gu Sheng wanted to drink a glass of wine to calm down my mood.
Just as he raised his glass, the man who had been following them suddenly rushed over and knocked the wine glass in Gu Sheng's hand.
The wine glass slipped and Gu Sheng was spread all over him.
Looking at him, Gu Sheng's face was a little dark.
At this time, the man suddenly said, "Sir, it's getting late, we should go back."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a little strange.
He called him Young Master for no reason, and even winked at him behind other people's backs. Why was that?
Gu Sheng didn't speak, and the man urged a few more words, "Sir, I'm already urging you. If you don't reply, I won't be able to explain. Let's go back."
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Okay, let's go back."
Gu Sheng dragged Er Gou and others who were confused and left the winery together.
