Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099: Chapter 573: Repeated Probing (2)

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he shook his sleeve, and a trace of energy flew out from it.

Gu Sheng was uncertain whether she was one of Saint Ya’s people, so when he released the energy, he deliberately mixed in some of Wushuang Taoist’s aura as well.

Sure enough, upon feeling the aura, the shopkeeper’s expression changed several times before finally stabilizing.

She scrutinized Gu Sheng up and down, as if trying to see through him.

However, Gu Sheng was shrewd and crafty; facing her scrutiny, his expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing.

The shopkeeper conceded defeat and, after some thought, said, "Why don’t we move to another place, distinguished guests?"

Gu Sheng nodded, and she closed the shop and led them toward the back.

All the way, Gu Sheng observed his surroundings.

Passing by a secret room, he turned his head and discovered the room was filled with scarecrows, and there were talisman papers on the scarecrows!

At the moment his wrist moved, he clearly felt Saint Ya’s aura!

The silver needles on the scarecrows glistened coldly, obviously targeted!

When Gu Sheng wanted to take a closer look, the shopkeeper seemed to sense something and hurriedly waved her hand to quickly close the door, saying somewhat nervously, "That room is usually unused; let’s talk at the back."

After speaking, she no longer walked ahead by herself but kept her eyes on them as they proceeded.

Seizing the moment when she turned back, Luochuan quickly approached Gu Sheng and whispered, "Brother Sheng, there’s King Luo’s aura in that room, and it’s very strong, very strange."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his mind instantly clear.

It seemed the random location they chose was indeed a stroke of luck.

Once he realized this, Gu Sheng stopped looking around and quickened his pace to follow.

In the courtyard, everyone sat opposite each other, and the shopkeeper spoke first.

"Which sect do you belong to? And what is your purpose here?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Sheng said, "We come from the Mirror Gate, and you should be able to guess our purpose."

Gu Sheng didn’t explicitly state his intentions, but the shopkeeper already had an idea.

Because she had just felt the aura Gu Sheng released and could guess some things from it.

"I don’t like beating around the bush, so I’ll speak plainly: if you’re here for Saint Ya, I can provide you with some information, but you must stand with me; you understand what I mean, right?"

Hearing the probing in her words, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Now he knew the shopkeeper was opposed to Saint Ya, but she didn’t yet know his stance, so some probing was normal.

"You don’t need to worry, our goal aligns with yours, and being from the Mirror Gate, we won’t harm Jianghu. Our purpose here is to prevent harmful acts against Jianghu."

Saying this, Gu Sheng casually displayed the Mirror Gate’s token and some aura related to Wushuang Taoist.

The shopkeeper sensed something and her eyes immediately brightened.

"It seems we have met without prior knowledge; I’ve traveled Jianghu for many years, and this is the first time I’ve encountered an aura I’ve wanted to meet. Meeting you all is truly fortunate for me."

After several rounds of probing, both sides finally confirmed each other’s identity and stance, and the atmosphere naturally improved.

When the conversation turned to serious business, the shopkeeper suddenly took out a Jade Pendant.

"This is my master’s Jade Pendant. Many years ago, he followed Wushuang Taoist. Before he passed away, he told me that if I encounter Wushuang Taoist and her people, we must cooperate and support unconditionally. If you have a token, we can discuss further."
