"Third Pavilion Master!"
A beautiful figure hurried out from the door.
The woman is wearing a lavender dress with a silver belt around her waist, which makes her figure look graceful.
She has a beautiful face and picturesque features. She is Hong Ya, the chief auctioneer of Yellow City Linlang Pavilion.
Gu Sheng paused slightly, with surprise in his eyes.
"Miss Hong? Why are you in the dungeon?"
Hong Ya bowed Yingying, with a somewhat eager look on his face.
"On the order of Pavilion Master Xiao, I am here to ask for instructions from Third Pavilion Master. Half an hour ago, we received a letter asking for help. The writer claimed to have an old relationship with you."
"Oh?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Who?"
"A woman named Xie Qingxuan."
Hong Ya took out a plain letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
"She said that she is being forced by her family to marry into Great Desolation City's special sect. Tomorrow is the wedding date. She begs Linlang Pavilion to help her."
"Xie Qingxuan"
Gu Sheng took the letter and paused slightly with his fingertips.
This name is like a key, instantly opening the floodgates of memory.
In the ancient cave in the barren mountain, the girl stood in front of him, blood gurgling from her shoulders and dyeing her plain white dress red.
"Brother Gu, leave quickly"
Her voice was weak but firm.
In the bamboo forest on a moonlit night, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of tears and determination.
"If taking my Yuan Yin can help you heal your injuries, I am willing."
Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
Hong Ya took half a step back involuntarily, feeling a biting chill running up his back.
"Third Pavilion Master"
She spoke carefully.
"Pavilion Master Xiao means that if you agree, we will dispatch manpower immediately"
Gu Sheng put away the letter, his voice was terrifyingly calm.
"You go back and tell Xiao Yun first and ask him to be on standby. I'm going to see Miss Tantai, and then go to Yellow City in person."
"Yes."
Hong Ya didn't dare to say anything, saluted again and left in a hurry.
Gu Sheng stood there, the letter in his hand turning into powder silently.
He closed his eyes, suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and strode into the Linlang Pavilion.
The underground area of dungeon Linlang Pavilion is far wider than the above ground part.
Along the spiral downward stone steps, Gu Sheng reached the bottom floor with ease.
The walls here are inlaid with countless luminous pearls, illuminating the corridor like daylight.
As soon as he stepped onto the last step, a cold female voice with a hint of excitement came into his ears.
"Gu Sheng, my mental power has reached level nine!"
At the end of the corridor, a slender figure turned out lightly.
Miss Tantai is dressed in white clothes, with black hair like a waterfall, and a bright cinnabar mark between her eyebrows.
There was excitement in her eyes, like a child getting a new toy.
Gu Sheng was slightly startled.
"So fast?"
"It must be because we used the secret method of spiritual blending last time."
Miss Tantai took a few steps closer and looked up at Gu Sheng, his eyes full of determination.
"That sense of resonance made my bottleneck loosen up."
Gu Sheng coughed slightly and avoided her burning eyes.
"Maybe it's the effect of that magical medicine."
Miss Tantai curled his lips and was about to retort when his expression suddenly became condensed.
"You have murderous intent in you."
Her slender fingers touched Gu Sheng's chest.
"Although it's very indifferent, you can't hide it from me. What happened?"
Gu Sheng sighed and briefly explained what happened to Xie Qingxuan.
Miss Tantai After listening, there was a complicated look in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Linlang Pavilion's manpower is at your disposal."
she said simply.
"I can take action if necessary."
Gu Sheng felt warm in his heart and said solemnly.
"Thank you."
Miss Tantai waved his hand with a sly look in his eyes.
"That Xie Qingxuan, is it important to you?"
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment and nodded.
"She risked her life for me."
"Got it."
Miss Tantai stopped asking questions and turned to analyze the situation.
"The special sect has at least one Saint Martial Realm in charge. The wedding is tomorrow and the security will be tight tonight."
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Just in time to catch them all."
"What are you going to do? Go directly to the door?"
Miss Tantai asked, tilting his head, with excitement in his eyes.
"Or... marriage robbery?"
Gu Sheng choked on her choice of words and said helplessly.
"I'm just fulfilling my promise. The word 'marriage snatching'."
Miss Tantai raised her little face, staring at Gu Sheng with a pair of bright almond eyes, and her red lips were slightly raised.
"Brother Gu Sheng, is that Xie Qingxuan really important to you?"
Gu Sheng's fingers that were adjusting the cuffs paused slightly, raised his eyes to meet her gossip-filled eyes, and sighed helplessly.
"Xue Li, I've said it many times, no one is important. I only care about the promise I made."
"Hmph!"
Miss Tantai puffed up its cheeks, like a puffy little pufferfish.
"This is what I say every time I ask you!"
She turned around, her long black hair drawing a graceful arc in the air, and the tips of her hair almost swept into Gu Sheng's face.
Gu Sheng subconsciously took half a step back, but the tip of his nose still caught a faint scent of orchid.
He coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"Didn't you say you wanted to tell me about the Linlang Pavilion's fifth floor?"
Miss Tantai Hearing this, his shoulders relaxed slightly.
She turned around, her face returning to her usual cunning and somewhat arrogant expression.
"The fifth floor is a place dedicated to gathering intelligence. You can tell me after you go up and confirm the plan."
She paused, and her voice suddenly became a little lower.
"The special sect is not that easy to deal with. It's too dangerous for you to be alone."
Gu Sheng looked at the girl in front of her who was usually quirky, but rarely showed a worried look at this moment, and felt a little warm in her heart.
"Thank you for your concern."
"Who, who cares about you!"
Miss Tantai The tips of his ears turned red and he stamped his feet.
"I'm just afraid that if you die, no one will be my sparring partner!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran to her room, her skirt flying around, revealing a section of her white calf.
Gu Sheng shook his head and laughed, watching her back disappear at the end of the corridor, then turned and walked towards the fifth floor of the Linlang Pavilion.
When he stepped onto the stairs leading to the fifth floor, Gu Sheng clearly felt that the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him were different.
Every step seems to have been blessed by some kind of formation, and there is a strange sense of solidity when you step on it.
When he stepped over the last step, he suddenly felt two invisible spiritual powers enveloping him like a spider web, locking him in place.
"Who is coming?"
A hoarse voice came from the shadows.
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank.
With his perception, he didn't notice anyone on this floor! He calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Gu Sheng, holding Linlang Pavilion guest token."
Two Dao Body figures walked out of the darkness.
On the left is a stooped old man with wrinkles on his face and frighteningly bright eyes; on the right is a burly middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face that extends from his forehead to his chin.
When the two saw Gu Sheng, they bowed and saluted at the same time.
"It turns out to be Mr. Customer."
Gu Sheng was even more surprised.
The auras of these two people are as restrained as a deep abyss, and they are definitely masters above Golden Core Stage! He calmly took out his token and handed it over.
"Can you two please help me check two things?"
The old man took the token and lightly touched it with his fingertips, and the token suddenly shimmered.
"Sir, please speak."
"First thing, Xie Qingxuan about Yellow City Xie Family."
Gu Sheng's voice was calm.
"She was forced to marry someone, and I want to know all the information about the marriage partner."
The scarred man raised his eyebrows.
"Xie Family? But that small family famous for its alchemy skills?"
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Exactly."
"The second thing."
Gu Sheng took out a dark sickle from the storage bag, with dark red blood stains still on the blade.
"This is the weapon used by an evil cultivator I killed outside the city the day before yesterday. I suspect there is an organization behind him, and I need you to find out his origins."
The old man took the sickle and gently rubbed the blade with his skinny fingers, his eyes shining brightly.
"This weapon with so much resentment has drank the blood of at least a hundred people."
"If it is found out that there is really an organization behind it."
Gu Sheng added.
"Don't conduct a direct encirclement and suppression campaign. Leave the information to the Great Desolation Sacred Academy for processing."
The scarred man grinned, and the scar twisted.
"Your Majesty, please be cautious. Indeed, those old guys from the Holy Academy are better at dealing with evil cultivators."
Gu Sheng nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again.
"Xie Qingxuan's information, how soon can we get the results?"
"Within an hour."
The old man replied.
"Send to Yellow City Linlang Pavilion."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, he strode away.
It wasn't until Gu Sheng's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs that the scarred man touched his chin and said.
"This kid is not simple, he can actually detect our presence."
The old man narrowed his eyes.
"The aura on his body is a bit interesting."
As soon as Gu Sheng walked to the lobby on the first floor, he saw Miss Tantai leaning on the pillar at the entrance of the stairs, waiting for him.
She changed into a long black tube top dress, which made her skin look like snow. Her long wet hair was spread over her shoulders, with water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair. She had obviously just finished taking a shower.
"What are you doing"
Gu Sheng was speechless for a moment.
Miss Tantai tilted his head, with a sly smile in his eyes.
"What, don't you recognize me?"
She turned around lightly, and her skirt blossomed like a black lotus.
"Does it look good?"
Gu Sheng coughed lightly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm going to Yellow City with you!"
Miss Tantai jumped to his side, exuding a faint scent of jasmine.
"Are you moved by the fact that I personally escorted you?"
Gu Sheng looked at her helplessly.
"Too dangerous."
"Hmph!"
Miss Tantai puffed up his cheeks.
"I am the eldest lady of the Linlang Pavilion. In terms of intelligence and escape ability, you may not be as good as me!"
Seeing what Gu Sheng wanted to say, she suddenly put away her joking expression and said seriously.
"Gu Sheng, I know what you are going to do. The special sect is not someone to be trifled with. One more person will add more strength."
Gu Sheng looked at her firm eyes and finally sighed.
"As you wish."
Miss Tantai immediately beamed, and Gu Sheng was amazed by the speed of his face change.
"This is right! Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"
She leaned close to Gu Sheng's ear and lowered her voice.
"And I've asked Yellow City to get ready. Xiao Yun and Hong Ya are waiting."
The warm breath brushed his ears, Gu Sheng's ears were slightly warm, and he calmly distanced himself.
"You move very quickly."
"Of course!"
Miss Tantai raised his chin proudly.
"When has this lady ever been so slow in doing things?"
The two came to the teleportation array, and Miss Tantai suddenly pulled Gu Sheng's sleeve.
"Wait."
She took out a jade pendant from her storage bag, stood on tiptoes and tied it around Gu Sheng's waist.
"This is Body Protection Talisman, which can withstand an attack from Golden Core Stage."
Gu Sheng looked down at her serious profile, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under the light.
he whispered.
"Thank you."
Miss Tantai fastened the jade pendant, raised her head to meet his gaze, and suddenly let go of her hand in a panic.
"Let's go, let's go! It will get dark if we delay any longer!"
The light of the teleportation circle gradually dissipated, and the figures of Gu Sheng and Miss Tantai appeared on the teleportation platform near Yellow City Linlang Pavilion Branch Store.
Gu Sheng Looking around, I saw people coming and going in this teleportation square, with warriors in various costumes passing through it. It was more lively and lively than the dungeon.
"Great Desolation City really deserves its reputation."
Gu Sheng sighed.
Miss Tantai took out a thin mask from his sleeve and gently covered his face.
Her stunning face suddenly became extremely ordinary, and even her otherworldly aura disappeared, as if she had turned into an ordinary passerby.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing?"
"Linlang Pavilion has a special status within Great Desolation City. If I show my true face to others, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."
Miss Tantai's voice also became dull.
"It's easier to do things this way."
Gu Sheng nodded knowingly.
"Understood."
The two walked side by side towards the Linlang Pavilion Branch Store, which was a magnificent seven-story pavilion. The three gilt characters "Linlang Pavilion" on the lintel shone brightly in the sun.
There were two calm guards standing at the door. When they saw the two approaching, one of them immediately came up to them.
"Two distinguished guests, what do you need?"
the guard asked respectfully.
Gu Sheng was about to speak when the guard's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you Gu Sheng Mr. Gu? Shopkeeper Xiao has been waiting in the private room for a long time. Please come with me."
Gu Sheng nodded slightly and was about to take a step when the guard looked at Miss Tantai hesitantly.
"This is"
"My people."
Gu Sheng said briefly.
The guard looked troubled.
"Shopkeeper Xiao specifically explains that this matter is important, and everyone is waiting."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Sheng interrupted.
"Lead the way."
The guard did not dare to say any more and respectfully led the two of them through the lobby and up to the third floor to an elegantly decorated room.
After gently knocking on the door, a calm male voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Pushing the door open, I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe and a beautiful woman who still had charm sitting at the coffee table.
Seeing Gu Sheng, the two immediately stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally here."
Xiao Yun cupped his hands, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Miss Tantai behind Gu Sheng.
Hong Ya's reaction was more direct. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Second Pavilion Mistress! What are you doing?"
Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard this and almost dropped the teacup in his hand.
"Two, Second Pavilion Mistress?"
Miss Tantai waved his hand.
"No need to be polite, I just came out to relax, you just pretend you haven't seen me."
Xiao Yun was sweating on his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes"
Gu Sheng didn't care about this and asked directly.
