"Don't scare me with your charlatan aura. This is not a place for you to cause trouble!"
The second waiter in the shop spoke with a deep look, Gu Sheng sneered softly.
"How dare a waiter in a clothing store bully others like this? I don't think you want to open this shop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng turned his wrist, his eyes changed, and a ray of divine power immediately flew out of his hand and wrapped around the waiter's neck like a snake!
As Gu Sheng's hand moved back, the waiter's eyes immediately widened.
In just a few seconds, his face turned pale and blue, his eyes were wide and bulging, and his hands struggled desperately, but he could not pull the invisible thread that was strangling his neck!
Seeing him like this, Lan Yao was extremely relieved.
"That's right! It's time for Gu Sheng to take action against an arrogant villain like you! Shopkeeper! Get out of here, shopkeeper!"
Lan Yao shouted loudly, and others followed suit.
Gu Sheng's hand was slightly loosened, but it only made the waiter feel better and did not let him go.
Perhaps because a few people were making a loud noise, a woman in blue quickly walked out from behind the shop.
Seeing the embarrassed look of the waiter, her expression changed.
"What are these gentlemen doing? It's a bit too much to bully my people in my store."
Hearing the woman's words, Gu Sheng curled his lips coldly.
"Your people look down on others and speak rudely to us when they open their mouths. Is this your store's attitude towards customers?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao nodded vigorously.
"Yes, we just wanted to see that piece of clothing, and he spoke rudely. He not only belittled us everywhere, but also said that we were worthless. We already gave you a lot of face without killing him!"
"So, the shopkeeper still wants to protect his subordinates?"
Gu Sheng After raising her eyebrows and saying this, the woman looked at her subordinates coldly.
"Is what they say true? Is this how you treat the customers in my store?"
Hearing her question, sweat dropped from the waiter's forehead, but his life was still in Gu Sheng's hands, and he was full of words but could not utter a single word.
Sensing his condition, the shopkeeper looked at Gu Sheng.
"I wonder if the guest officer can let him go first and let him explain the matter clearly."
Gu Sheng With a flick of his wrist and a withdrawal of his divine power, the waiter was immediately thrown out, lying on the ground in a panic, holding his throat and coughing non-stop.
Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper stepped forward and kicked him.
"Stop pretending to me here and talk!"
After being kicked, the waiter hugged her feet.
"Shopkeeper, I am wronged. As soon as these people came in, they took a fancy to the most expensive ready-made clothes in our shop, and even took them off to touch and have a look. You can see how poor these people are, and you can tell at a glance that they are ordinary people in the world. How can I give them such expensive ready-made clothes?"
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng sneered.
"Then what? You ask us to pay money first, and then we are eligible to see this dress? Is this how your store treats customers?"
After saying that, Gu Sheng cast his eyes on the shopkeeper's face.
"Shopkeeper, is this how you ask your subordinates to do things?"
When asked by Gu Sheng, the shopkeeper felt his face was dull. He got angry and kicked the waiter in the abdomen.
She had no strength, and the waiter was also unprepared. When she kicked her, the waiter vomited blood.
However, the shopkeeper didn't want to let him go. He stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and slapped him down hard.
"When will it be your turn to have the final say in my shop? You are a lowly person, but after working with me for a long time, you have learned to bully others. Who gave you the qualifications! If you dare to slander my shop like this, get out of here today!"
She slapped him down several times, and the waiter's face was swollen into a pig's head. His face was so bloody that people didn't want to look at it a second time.
But even so, he kept begging for mercy and didn't want to leave.
The shopkeeper seemed a little annoyed and called his men to throw him out.
After the shop became quiet, before the shopkeeper could come back to talk, someone came back in a hurry and said something in her ear.
After hearing what her subordinates said, her face changed slightly and she whispered something.
At this time, Luo Chuan suddenly whispered, "The man who came just now has the aura of Saintly Hermit. It seems... and the aura of King Luo, but the aura is too weak, I can't feel it clearly."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng and others looked at each other.
They never expected that there would be news about Saintly Hermit as soon as they arrived in Pingcheng.
Soon, the people around the shopkeeper left, and she walked towards a few people with a smile again.
"Guys, I'm really sorry. My subordinates are ignorant and have been rude to you. How about I pay for everything you want today?"
"No, of course we can afford the money when we come to buy things."
Lan Yao After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper smiled guiltily.
"You guys must give me a chance to apologize."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"If the shopkeeper wants to apologize, how about telling us some news?"
"News? I wonder what the guests want to know? Our small shop may not be able to provide the information the guests want."
Seeing the flash of light in her eyes, Gu Sheng smiled.
"The shopkeeper must be capable of running such a big shop by himself. The funny news we want to know shouldn't be difficult for the shopkeeper."
"What do you want to know?"
"I want to know what some of the people who are not supposed to be here are here for."
Gu Sheng shook his sleeves after saying this, and a wisp of breath flew out of his sleeves.
Gu Sheng was not sure whether she belonged to Saintly Hermit, so when he released his breath, he deliberately mixed some of Peerless Hermit's breath with Saintly Hermit's breath.
Sure enough, after feeling the breath, the shopkeeper's expression changed again and again, and it took a long time to stabilize.
She looked Gu Sheng up and down, as if she wanted to see through him.
It's only possible that Gu Sheng is so cunning. Facing her scrutiny, his expression never changed, making her unable to tell anything.
The shopkeeper was defeated, and after thinking over and over again, he said, "Guests, why don't we move to another place?"
Gu Sheng After nodding, she closed the shop directly and walked towards the back with a few people.
Along the way, Gu Sheng kept looking around.
When passing by a secret room, he looked sideways and found that there were many scarecrows in the room, and there were talismans on the scarecrows!
The moment he moved his wrist, he clearly felt the breath of Saintly Hermit!
The silver needles on the scarecrow shone coldly, it was obviously being targeted!
Gu Sheng When he wanted to take a closer look, the shopkeeper seemed to sense something. He hurriedly raised his hand and quickly closed the door. He said in a panic, "That room is usually unused. Let's go to the back to talk."
After saying that, she no longer walked in front, but stared at them as she walked forward.
Taking advantage of her turning back, Luo Chuan quickly approached Gu Sheng and whispered, "Brother Sheng, there is the smell of King Luo in that room, and the smell is very heavy, very strange."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, feeling clear in his heart.
It seems that they found the right place at random, and it was like God's help.
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng stopped looking around, but put his eyes away and followed quickly.
In the courtyard, everyone sat facing each other, and the shopkeeper spoke first.
"Guys, which sect do you come from? What is the purpose of coming here?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng said, "We are from the Mirror Sect. You should be able to guess the purpose of this trip."
Gu Sheng didn't say it directly, but the shopkeeper had already roughly guessed it.
Because she just felt the breath released by Gu Sheng, and she could guess something from the breath.
"I don't like to beat around the bush. If I have something to say, I'll say it directly. If you are here for Saintly Hermit, I can provide you with some information. Of course, the premise is that you need to be on my side. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing the temptation in her words, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
Now he knows that the shopkeeper is the enemy of Saintly Hermit, but the shopkeeper still doesn't know where he stands, so it's normal for him to test his words both internally and externally.
"Don't worry, our purpose is the same as yours. After all, we are Mirror Sect people, and we cannot do things that harm the world. The purpose of our trip is to stop others from doing things that harm the world."
Saying that, Gu Sheng intentionally or unintentionally took out the token of the Mirror Sect and the aura about Peerless Hermit.
The shopkeeper felt something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It seems that we have not known each other for a long time. This is the first time I have met the aura I want to meet in all my years of traveling around the world. It is also a great blessing for me to meet you."
After several trials, the two sides finally confirmed each other's identity and position, and the atmosphere unconsciously improved.
When the conversation got down to business, the shopkeeper suddenly took out a jade pendant.
"This is my master's jade pendant. He followed Peerless Hermit many years ago. Before he passed away, he told me that Peerless Hermit must be there. If we encounter Peerless Hermit and her people, we must cooperate and support unconditionally. If you have a token in your hand, we can have an in-depth chat."
Knowing that this was her last test, Gu Sheng took out something Peerless Hermit gave him.
Feeling the strong aura and seeing the thing with his own eyes, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately turned red.
"My master has been looking for this thing for many years, but he didn't see it before he died. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see you in this life. From today on, I will cooperate with you unconditionally. Killing Saintly Hermit is our common goal!"
Looking at her, Hong Mei asked curiously, "Who is your master?"
"My master is Wufang."
Hearing this, Hong Mei's expression changed, and then he immediately returned the salute.
Seeing the gift she returned, the shopkeeper was obviously a little surprised.
"Are you a disciple of Peerless Hermit?"
"Exactly, I didn't expect you to be the disciple of Elder Wufang."
After confirming their identity again, everyone became relaxed.
After looking at the shop, Gu Sheng said thoughtfully, "If I guess correctly, your shop is just a cover-up."
"Yes and no, because I will transmit a lot of information here and need something to cover it up, but I also need to use the shop to support myself and my subordinates, so yes and no."
Understanding what it meant, Gu Sheng nodded.
"It's really impressive that a woman like you can support such a large industry."
"Actually, half of the things are my master's legacy. Now I just live with my master's will. My master calls me little Orchid, and you can just call me Orchid. This is the information my people found. Saintly Hermit went to King Luo today, and the two of them planned this matter together."
Knowing that the two of them were planning together again, Gu Sheng couldn't help frowning and reached out to take the thing in her hand.
After taking a closer look, her face turned completely cold.
"They spent so much gold and silver recruiting soldiers just to create dead soldiers?"
"Yes, in fact, they have already trained a batch before, but they don't know where they are hidden and have never used them. Now they have gone through several battles and are always on the weak side, so they spent a lot of money to raise a new batch. I think it is because they don't have enough people, so they will train again."
"You are right, because we killed their men."
Hearing this, Orchid was obviously surprised.
"You mean you killed Saintly Hermit's people? You actually killed her people? Did you also kill Demon?"
"That's right, both Demon and the two ghosts Shuangbai died in our hands. Before we came to you, we had just destroyed Fan Sect. I thought there weren't many people here at Saintly Hermit, but I didn't expect that she actually cultivated another batch."
Knowing that it was Gu Sheng who destroyed most of Saintly Hermit's manpower, Orchid immediately stood in awe.
"I didn't expect Peerless Hermit to be so powerful. No wonder my master has admired him all his life. In fact, Saintly Hermit can do whatever he wants in Pingcheng because King Luo is backing him. King Luo is powerful. Joining forces with Saintly Hermit, he protects her and strengthens her strength, and she uses this strength to maintain his position, so he can equal Qingyun. If he wants to really get rid of Saintly Hermit, King Luo cannot stay."
After she finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded.
"We know, that's why we're here. Who's in charge of King Luo? He has a special status, so he shouldn't do everything by himself, right? Does he have a sect under him?"
"You guessed it right, King Luo has a subordinate named Qingcheng Sect, who is well-known in the world. On the surface, Luo Qin is in charge, but in fact the person behind it is King Luo."
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Gu Sheng turned to look at Luo Chuan.
"Who is Luo Qin?"
"He is the youngest son of King Luo, the bastard born to the woman behind him! He was brought back home when he was two years old. King Luo always felt guilty, so he favored him in everything. Even the eldest son didn't look down on him. All the benefits were given to this bastard, just to win the favor of that woman!"
Hearing Luo Chuan grit his teeth, Gu Sheng understood what was going on.
Thinking about it this way, that woman should have a high status in King Luo's heart, otherwise her son would not be so valued, and his status would even exceed that of King Luo's legitimate son.
