Chapter 168 You Shouldn't Have Come
At noon the next day, Gu Nian'an sat on the first floor of the inn to eat.
It was dinner time and there were many people coming and going in the inn.
Gu Nian'an sat quietly in the corner, eating the food on the table slowly and chewing it carefully, while also listening carefully to the conversations of the diners around him.
"Have you heard? There was a murder in Furong Lane last night."
"Hibiscus Lane, isn't it not far away?"
"Yes, yes. I heard that the dead man was Xu San, who ran a gambling den. All the blood in his body was sucked dry. He died a miserable death."
"Oh! People like this deserve to die. I don't know which hero did such a great deed. Let's celebrate."
"clang"
The clinking sounds of cups and people's teasing filled the lively inn. Seeing this scene, Gu Nian'an frowned.
Alas! The concentration of death energy has intensified again. He doesn't know when this change will happen. He has no idea at all.
"Tap, step, step"
Just at this time, a gatekeeper in a black robe respectfully led a few people into the inn.
The moment a few people entered the inn, the noise in the entire inn suddenly fell silent.
It was mainly because the two armored soldiers who were clearing the way behind the gatekeepers were too powerful, and the people who were suppressed by them couldn't help but shut their mouths.
"Brother Gu, it's really you. Why didn't you say hello to me before you left a few days ago?"
Gently letting go of the hand that was being held, a child trotted over to Gu Nian'an and asked with a look of joy on his face.
Gu Nian'an put down the chopsticks in his hand and touched the child's head, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I had some urgent matters to deal with that day, and the gift I was going to give you had an accident, so I left in a hurry and didn't bother you to rest."
The child waved his hands and said, "No, gifts are not important. I just want Brother Gu to practice martial arts with me when he has time."
"Okay, I won't refuse if I have time, but I will find a way to make up for the gift."
"Master Gu and my Xiao Wei still have such a good relationship. Are you really not going to consider taking a disciple?"
Looking at the smiling woman walking in front of him, Gu Nian'an stood up and bowed, saying, "Madam Jiang, I am still in the exploratory stage of martial arts, and I really don't have the ability to teach others. Let's not mention this matter again in the future."
Seeing that the young man in front of her refused straightforwardly, Ye Jinxiu did not bother to pester him any more. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you have any clues about the person you are looking for? Do you need our help?"
Alas! When Gu Nian'an was reminded of this matter, he just felt a headache.
The only person who might know the whereabouts of my uncle now is Du Yuming, but that guy has turned into a ghostly state now, and I don’t know if he can regain consciousness. If something unexpected happens, maybe we will have to rely on the power of Yanyue Sect to find my uncle.
After thinking things through, Gu Nian'an bowed to Ye Jinxiu and said
“Well, I know I’ll be happy to help you if you need my help, but I have something else I want to talk to you about right now.
After casually glancing at the noisy environment in the inn, Gu Nian'an continued
There are too many people here, why don't we find a quieter place to sit down and talk in detail?"
Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu looked at Gu Nian'an in surprise, but he did not reject the young man's proposal.
Afterwards, after Gu Nian'an paid the bill, they all went to the third floor of the inn together.
Li Hongyu, who was walking at the end, took out a purse from her sleeve and threw it to the gatekeeper beside her. "Your work is done. You can leave now."
After taking the money bag, the old soldier named Wang bowed and turned to leave the inn. He had received money from people and done things for them. Now he had completed the tasks that they had asked him to do. As for the identities of these people, he had no interest in what they were going to talk about next.
After arranging the gatekeeper Li Hongyu turned around and continued walking upstairs.
After everyone left, the originally quiet inn became noisy again.
"Who were those two black-armored generals just now? How could they have such a strong aura?"
"Hey, hey brother, are you only paying attention to those two? I think those girls are all stunningly beautiful, especially...~"
"Snapped"
The wine glass fell heavily on the table. He looked at the people at the table with a gloomy face that almost dripped water.
"You are looking for death, what should you say? Don't you have no idea what you are talking about?"
After saying that, he quickly stood up and walked out of the inn. His friend was so fucking tactless and spoke without restraint. People like him will have a bad end sooner or later. It would be better to stay away from such people in the future to avoid being implicated by them.
Ignoring the people downstairs, they came to the third floor of the inn. When the two brothers Xu Biao and Xu Hu were about to guard the door, Gu Nian'an invited them.
"Why don't you two go into the room and have a chat. What I'm going to discuss later concerns everyone. After you listen, you can share some opinions."
Hearing this, Xu Biao turned around and bowed, "Mr. Gu, if you have anything to say, just talk to Madam and the others. We..."
"Xu Biao, Xu Hu, come in and listen. We are not in the military camp now, so don't be too restrained."
After hearing Ye Jinxiu's words, the two of them did not refuse and entered the room together.
After everyone entered the room, Gu Nian'an took off the scarf from her eyes and looked at the people in front of her.
Alas! As he expected, everyone was surrounded by a trace of death.
But there are two exceptions. The two brothers of the Xu family are surrounded by black light, which almost suppresses the gray airflow and makes it unclear. It is really exaggerated.
After entering the room, Gu Nian'an didn't say anything for a long time, but just kept looking at them, so Ye Jinxiu couldn't help but ask
"Mr. Gu, what are you looking at?"
"Ugh!"
Hearing Ye Jinxiu's question, Gu Nian'an sighed silently.
"Madam Jiang, you shouldn't come to Wuyun City at this time. It's very dangerous here."
"What do you mean, Master Gu?"
Gu Nian'an pointed to his eyes and explained, "Madam Jiang, my eyes are a little special. I can see things that ordinary people can't see, such as death energy."
"Dead air???"
"Yes, it's a very special thing. For example, when someone is in danger and about to face death, a gray airflow will appear on that person. The closer he is to death, the thicker the gray airflow will be. Until the person dies, the death energy will briefly burst out and then disappear between heaven and earth."
After hearing Gu Nian'an's description, Xu Hu's eyes flashed with a terrifying light. If what the young man said was true, then their border guards would be blessed.
If we could lure this young man to the border, and then take him out for a walk before every expedition, then we could minimize the casualties of our brothers in every battle.
Before anyone could say anything, Xu Hu spoke first, "Brother Gu, are you interested in going to the border with us?"
"Snapped"
With a slap, Xu Biao slapped his silly brother aside and asked with a serious look in his eyes, "Brother Gu means that there is death energy entangled in us."
"Well, not only you, but almost everyone in Wuyun City has death energy surrounding them."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
