At the corner, Gu Sheng stopped and turned to look at the man.
When their eyes met, the man quickly said, "Brother, don't get me wrong. The reason why I called you out is because that woman put something in your wine. I was afraid that you would be tricked, so I took this step."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"How did you know there was something in that wine?"
"I saw with my own eyes that the woman who kept pestering you was actually giving another woman a chance to attack. When she put her arms around your neck to block her view, she dropped something into the wine. Although I don't know what it was, I guess it must be a scam."
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng smiled.
"She exploded, but you didn't? What's your purpose in following us for so long?"
"I don't mean any harm..."
"How do I know you don't have any ill intentions? You and I must know what the jade token is. You know this jade token and you have no sect. How do I know you don't have any ill intentions?"
Gu Sheng stopped beating around the bush and made things clear.
After he finished speaking, the man sighed heavily.
"Now that my brother has found out, I won't hide it anymore. You are right. I do know that jade plaque. That jade plaque belongs to the previous elder White Cloud Sect. The reason why I want the jade plaque is because my father and that elder have some connection. The elder died in the battle back then. My father feels very sorry not to see him for the last time. If I can take this jade plaque back, it will be considered as fulfilling his wish."
"Your Majesty has some connection with that elder, but you don't have any connections. Isn't that right? The relationship that makes your wish come true must not be too shallow. Your Majesty has such a relationship, how can you be without any connections?"
Seeing the suspicion in Gu Sheng's eyes, the man quickly took out his package.
"I am a doctor. I inherited my father's skills, so I have no family or sect."
Looking at the various medicinal materials, silver needles and other items in his package, Gu Sheng still had some suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
"I see, but if your father and that elder have such a deep connection, you should have something to prove it, right? If not, how can you expect me to believe it?"
Hearing Gu Sheng's words, he sighed helplessly.
"I just wanted to take a look, I didn't have any other ideas."
"This thing is so important. If you can't prove it, I won't take it out."
Gu Sheng made his attitude clear, which made him quite helpless.
After thinking for a while, he took out a red rope.
"This red rope was used by my father when he rescued the elder. His breath is on it. You can feel whether it is the same as the breath on the jade plaque."
Taking the thing in his hand, Gu Sheng felt it carefully. The aura on it was really the same as the one on the jade plaque!
Seeing the change in Gu Sheng's face, he couldn't wait to ask, "Can you let me see the jade plaque now?"
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng took it out.
When the man wanted to reach out, he took a step back.
"For the sake of you saving us today, I can let you see it, but don't touch it, so as not to spoil the breath of the jade plaque."
There was no other way, so the man could only nod, and stepped forward to take a closer look.
He looked at the jade sign for a long time, and Gu Sheng also looked at him for a long time.
After a while, he finally withdrew his gaze.
"Brother, I can pay a high price to buy this jade plaque in your hand. You..."
"Not for sale."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Sheng directly interrupted his thoughts.
"You can say whatever you want, as much as you want!"
"I'm not short of money, so I won't sell it."
"If you are not short of money, I can also barter. I have a lot of good medicinal materials and spiritual stones here. You can have as many as you want."
"We won't sell it or exchange it. Now that you've seen it, it's time for us to leave. Thank you for today's business."
After leaving these words, Gu Sheng turned around and left.
The man wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Shi Lou.
"Brother, don't push yourself too far. You just said you wanted to see it before. Now that you've seen it, don't put any more conditions, so as not to ruin the harmony."
The man was speechless and could only watch them leave.
After walking out of the alley, Gu Sheng did not go in the direction of the inn.
He led a few people around a corner and found a hidden place to hide.
Seeing him like this, several people were a little confused. Huang Shan came forward and asked softly, "Brother Sheng, why are we hiding here? But there is someone following?"
"No one is following us, we are following him."
"Following who?"
"The man who saw the jade sign."
"Why follow him?"
"There is something fishy about him. There is not only the aura of the previous elder White Cloud Sect on that red rope, but also other auras. This aura is purer and more powerful than the aura of the previous elder. Although it is suppressed, it has been infected for a long time and cannot be hidden even if you want to."
"You mean... he is not a doctor?!"
When Shi Lou asked in surprise, Gu Sheng nodded.
He wasn't sure before, but now he was.
This man is not simple. He only wants to get the jade medal, and he must have a plan behind it.
Soon, the man appeared in their sight.
Seeing him hurriedly walking to one side, Gu Sheng and others quickly followed him.
They wandered to both sides of the street, hiding in the dark the whole time, and the man didn't notice anything.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the man's footsteps stopped by a river.
Gu Sheng and others still wanted to follow, but there were not many hiding places around, so he left Er Gou and others behind and quietly approached with Lan Yao.
After the man stood still, he looked directly at a certain place.
Gu Sheng When he was suspicious, several figures suddenly appeared from somewhere, came straight to him, and knelt on the ground on one knee.
"Greetings to the young master."
The man nodded slightly and raised his hands to them.
"Get up, how's the investigation going? Who is the person behind the Black Fiend Sect?"
"Young Master, we have just found some clues, but we are not sure yet."
Hearing this, his face looked obviously ugly.
"It's been so long, do you still have any clues?"
"Young Master, we are in the light and they are in the dark. The other party is hiding very deep. We have caught some clues now, but the evidence is still solid and we dare not report it for the time being."
"Those people in the world haven't found any clues?"
"Several major sects were dispatched, but nothing was found."
After hearing what his men said, the man sneered.
"They are also worthy of being a major sect in Jianghu. It seems that this Jianghu has really fallen."
At this time, a man came from a distance, looked at him and said, "Young Master Bai, if you don't want to fall into disgrace, I advise you to show up as soon as possible."
"It's still early. I haven't found out anything about the previous elders yet."
"Why do you have to dwell on this matter? You have been investigating this matter for several years, and you still can't believe Elder Bai's death?"
After the man finished speaking, Young Master Bai clenched his fists tightly.
"First Elder is not dead! He will not die so easily!"
"But..."
"There is nothing wrong with this! I have now found the jade pendant that First Elder was wearing at the time, but I just couldn't get it."
"Did you find the jade pendant? Who has it?"
"In the hands of a few people in the world."
"It's just a few gangsters. Can't we just kill them and take them away?"
Young Master Bai looked up at him with scary cold eyes.
"I am from a well-known and decent sect. I am neither a bandit nor an evil sect. People buy it through regular channels, but I kill people if I want? Why? In your eyes, is human life so worthless?"
Hearing his sharp scolding, the man didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Soon, the two groups of people exchanged information and dispersed.
Looking at the direction they were leaving, Gu Sheng looked a little thoughtful in his eyes.
At this time, Lan Yao came over and raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Gu Sheng, it's time for us to go."
After hearing this, Gu Sheng came to his senses and followed him to gather with the large army.
Seeing them coming back, Shi Lou and others hurried forward.
"Brother Sheng, have you found out any news?"
"We've found out, let's go back and talk."
Everyone rushed to the inn and all went to room Gu Sheng.
After entering the door, Gu Sheng took off his gown directly.
Seeing him wearing only his underwear, Er Gou felt a little strange.
"Brother Sheng, you're so good, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"There's poison on that dress."
"What?!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
How can good clothes be poisonous?
"It was the woman in the restaurant who gave me the poison. When Young Master Bai rescued me, she accidentally knocked over the drink and sprinkled it on my clothes."
"Is the drink really poisonous?"
"Well, I noticed it when the drink fell on me. He was right, it was poisonous. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him see the jade plaque."
After understanding what was going on, Shi Lou couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Sheng, is his identity really unusual?"
"The servant calls him Young Master Bai, what do you think?"
"So he is not without any sect, but he is lying to us? What's so easy to deceive? Is it because his sect can't handle it?"
Hearing Shi Lou's words, Gu Sheng shook his head, but he did not speak, but focused his eyes on Lan Yao's face.
"Listening to their conversation, which sect do you think he belongs to?"
After thinking for a while, Lan Yao spit out three words.
"White Cloud Sect."
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
Seeing him nod, everyone else was dumbfounded.
"Brother Sheng, are you mistaken? He looks ordinary. How could he be from the White Cloud Sect? Or the young master?"
"We can't be mistaken. Based on the information we got tonight and the aura we felt in him, we can conclude that he is the young master of the White Cloud Sect."
Gu Sheng gave the answer again, and everyone finally believed it.
After a long silence, Huang Shan asked, "Brother Sheng, we can see Young Master White Cloud Sect here. Does that mean White Cloud Sect is also involved in the Black Fiend Sect's affairs?"
"Yes, they mentioned Black Fiend Sect today, but according to what his people said, they didn't find any clues. It seems that the evil sect hiding behind it is very deep."
"White Cloud Sect didn't find any clues. They hid it really deep. Brother Sheng, what should we do next? Should we continue searching or go back to Stone Village first?"
Gu Sheng thought for a moment, then curled his lips.
"White Cloud Sect is definitely stronger than us. Their intelligence network is far larger than we imagined. Since they have such good help, we will just follow them."
"Follow? Do you want to follow Young Master Bai? Gu Sheng, he obviously wants the jade token in your hand. What if he opens his mouth again?"
After Lan Yao finished speaking, Gu Sheng turned to look at him.
"What is the purpose of taking the jade token?"
"Befriend White Cloud Sect."
"What is his identity?"
"White Cloud Sect Young Master."
"In this case, wouldn't it be better for us to make him owe us a favor in the name of the token than to offer the jade token with both hands?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao's eyes lit up.
"Don't say it, you really don't say it! Gu Sheng, why are you so smart! Young Master Bai should still be at the inn, how about we go find him now?"
Seeing his anxious look, Gu Sheng grabbed him.
"Why are you anxious? Now that we know his identity, we still don't know whether he will personally investigate the matter. Exposing him early is not a good thing for us."
"Then what do we do?"
"Just like he follows us, we also follow him, but we have to follow him in the dark and try not to be discovered. We will follow him for a few days to see if he is dealing with the matter. If that is the case, we will not show up again."
"Okay, your idea is definitely not wrong, we listen to you!"
After Lan Yao responded, others also nodded.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng went downstairs early.
Sure enough, Young Master Bai appeared.
Seeing Gu Sheng again, he sat down next to him like an old friend and chatted with him casually.
Gu Sheng did not keep his distance as before, but started chatting with him.
After chatting for a few words, Young Master Bai was obviously excited.
"I didn't expect that we would hit it off so well. What you said is exactly what I am thinking! I wonder which sect my brother is from? Can we make friends?"
Knowing his purpose and knowing that he meant no harm, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"Okay, we are from Stone Village."
"Stone Village?"
Bai Shaozhu stared, his eyes full of confusion.
Obviously, he has never heard of the name Stone Village.
"That's right, it's Stone Village, a little-known sect."
After hearing Gu Sheng's description, Young Master Bai's expression quickly returned to normal.
"It's not necessarily because I'm not well-known. Maybe it's because I have little knowledge and don't travel much, so I know about it. A sect that can have someone like Xiongtai is definitely a good one."
"Exalted."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, he shook his head seriously.
"This is not flattery, but I speak from the bottom of my heart. I really think that Xiongtai is a very good person, and he has a special rapport with me. If there is a chance, I would like to have a close relationship with Xiongtai."
Gu Sheng knows his identity and naturally understands the meaning of his words.
"If it's fate, it's possible."
"Maybe, if possible, we will meet again in the world."
"Are you leaving?"
"I'm leaving temporarily. I have some things to deal with. I need to leave for a few days. I will come back here after today. I don't know if my brother will still be there at that time."
"Not necessarily, we won't stay here for a long time, then it depends on fate."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, there was a clear trace of disappointment in his eyes.
After all, the jade medal is still on Gu Sheng. He wants it eagerly and naturally does not want to know the whereabouts of Gu Sheng.
He pretended to ask a few questions casually, but Gu Sheng did not give a positive response.
