Chapter 1031: Chapter 539: Young Master of the White Cloud Sect (Part 2)

"Greetings, Young Master."

The man slightly nodded and raised a hand to them.

"Rise. How is the investigation going? Who’s behind the Heisha Sect?"

"Young Master, we’ve just uncovered some clues, but we can’t confirm anything yet."

Hearing this, his expression visibly darkened.

"It’s been so long, and there’s not a single lead?"

"Young Master, we are in the open, they are in the shadows. The enemy is deeply hidden. We have some clues now, but they’re not concrete. We dare not report prematurely."

"The Jianghu folks haven’t found any leads either?"

"Several large sects have mobilized, but they’ve discovered nothing."

Upon hearing his subordinate’s words, the man sneered.

"They call themselves the renowned sects of the Jianghu? It seems this world has indeed fallen."

At this moment, a man approached from afar and said to him, "Young Master Bai, if you don’t want the Jianghu to fall, I advise you to show yourself soon."

"It’s still early; I haven’t cleared up the matter of the previous elder yet."

"Why are you so entangled in this matter? You’ve been investigating for years. Can’t you accept Elder Bai’s death?"

After he said this, Young Master Bai clenched his fist tightly.

"The Great Elder is not dead! He wouldn’t die so easily!"

"But..."

"There’s no ’but’ about this matter! I’ve already found the Jade Pendant the Great Elder had at the time, I just haven’t been able to get my hands on it yet."

"You’ve found the Jade Pendant? Who has it now?"

"Some Jianghu people have it."

"They’re just a few Jianghu folks. Why don’t you kill them and take it?"

Young Master Bai raised his head to look at him, his gaze chilling to the bone.

"I come from a renowned sect, neither a mountain bandit nor from an Evil Sect. They acquired it through legitimate means. Why should I kill to get what I want? In your eyes, is life so worthless?"

Hearing his stern reprimand, the man did not dare to make another sound.

Soon, after exchanging information, the two groups dispersed.

Watching them leave, a contemplative look appeared in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

At this moment, Lan Yao walked over and waved a hand in front of his eyes.

"Gu Sheng, we should go."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng snapped back to reality and went with him to join the main group.

Seeing them return, Shi Lou and the others hurried up.

"Brother Sheng, did you find out anything?"

"We did. Let’s discuss it back at the inn."

The group headed to the inn and all went to Gu Sheng’s room.

Upon entering, Gu Sheng directly took off his robe.

Seeing him just in his underclothes, Er Gou was curious.

"Brother Sheng, why are you taking off your clothes all of a sudden?"

"That garment is poisoned."

"What?!"

His words shocked everyone.

How could a perfectly good garment be poisoned?

"It was poisoned by that woman at the teahouse. When Young Master Bai saved me, he deliberately spilled the wine on my garment."

"Was the wine really poisoned?"

"Yes, I sensed it when it spilled on me. He was right; it was poisoned, or I wouldn’t have shown him the Jade Token."

Understanding the situation, Shi Lou eagerly asked, "Brother Sheng, is his identity really extraordinary?"

"His servants call him Young Master Bai. What do you think?"

"So he’s not without a sect, and he’s been deceiving us? What’s the point of deceiving us? Is his sect disreputable?"

Hearing Shi Lou’s words, Gu Sheng shook his head but didn’t speak. Instead, he looked at Lan Yao.

"From their conversation, which sect do you think he belongs to?"

Thinking for a moment, Lan Yao uttered three words.

"White Cloud Sect."
