The voice coming from the Jade Talisman was noticeably trembling.
"The people from the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly took her away this morning, claiming she’s suspected of harming a fellow disciple..."
Harming a fellow disciple? Gu Sheng immediately recalled the Blood Refining Evil Cultivator pierced through the heart by Shen Qingtan’s sword that night.
That person might have practiced Evil Skill, but he was indeed holding the title of a disciple of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy.
"Specific location."
His voice sank.
"I’m heading there immediately."
"There’s a tea shop outside the Transmission Array in the East District of Heaven City, I’ll be wearing a goose-yellow skirt."
Qin Yurou spoke rapidly.
"Young Master Gu, please be careful, recently in the city..."
The words were not finished when the light of the Jade Talisman suddenly dimmed.
Gu Sheng attempted to contact again but found the Spiritual Power was like a mud cow entering the sea... it was clear there was an issue on the other side.
One incense stick later, the white light of the Transmission Array in Heaven City flashed.
Gu Sheng, disguised as a middle-aged scholar, stepped out, muscles slightly tense under his blue long robe.
The air was filled with an unmistakable tension, looking up he could see dozens of figures piloting Flying Artifacts patrolling at low altitude.
They were wearing uniform Mystic Armor, the emblem of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy on their chests.
"I heard the Wanliu Sect, all three hundred of them..."
Two people dressed as merchants were whispering nearby, immediately silencing as patrolmen approached.
Gu Sheng subtly pressed down his hat.
It seems that night’s event had already brewed, only he hadn’t expected it would implicate Shen Qingtan.
He quickened his steps towards the agreed tea shop, suddenly noticing a flash of goose yellow at the street corner.
It was a young girl with twin buns pretending to be interested in the rouge on the vendor’s stall, but her gaze was constantly scanning the passing pedestrians.
As Gu Sheng approached, she suddenly widened her eyes and blurted out.
"Gu..."
"Miss, you’ve got the wrong person."
Gu Sheng interrupted in a low voice, showing half of the Qingluan Jade Talisman from his sleeve.
Qin Yurou understood, casually picking up a box of rouge and throwing two Spirit Stones to the vendor.
"Wrap it up."
Then, seemingly unintentionally, she walked along the alleyway.
Gu Sheng kept his distance following her, realizing this girl changed her walking pace at every intersection, clearly trying to shake off any tail.
After winding through several turns, the two arrived at a courtyard covered in vines.
As they pushed open the weathered wooden door, a strong stench rushed at them.
The courtyard housed various Exotic Beasts, including scaled rabbits, three-tailed foxes, and even a small snow-white dragon crouched in the corner.
"Sorry for the smell,"
Qin Yurou locked the courtyard door and suddenly turned, staring intently at Gu Sheng.
"But how did you manage it? Even the Golden-eyed Beast couldn’t see through your Disguise Skill. I could smell it was you from three streets away."
Gu Sheng removed his mask, revealing his true appearance.
"Beast Taming School’s talent?"
"It’s the smell."
The girl proudly wrinkled her nose.
"You carry a special medicinal fragrance, mixed with... hmm, the scent of thunder."
She suddenly lowered her voice.
"Sister Qingtan said you used Thunder Skill when you killed that Evil Cultivator."
Gu Sheng’s gaze sharpened.
It seems Shen Qingtan considered this girl a true confidant.
"Let’s talk business."
