Lin Wu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said, "Have you changed a little? You are clearly two different people."

She stepped forward and looked at the second cobbler, frowning even more tightly, and said, "I brought two friends with me, one of whom is a doctor with great medical skills. Let him take a look at you. If you really have a terminal illness, you can get treatment this morning. No matter how much it costs, you don't have to worry."

After saying that, Lin Wu turned around and looked at Bo Yuting.

Bo Yuting naturally would not refuse Lin Wu's request, so he stepped forward and said, "Senior, stretch out your hand, I will take your pulse."

The second shoemaker did not move, but stared at Bo Yuting with his cloudy eyes, with an unclear meaning.

Bo Yuting faced his gaze without moving an inch, as if he was unaware of the danger looming in his sight.

After a moment, the second shoemaker turned around, walked tremblingly to the innermost sewing machine and sat down.

There were piles of cloth all around him, and because he was too thin, he looked like he was about to be buried by the cloth.

"I said I'm not sick, so I'm not sick. Can't you, little girl, hope that I'll get better?"

Lin Wu frowned and asked, "Then why did you suddenly become like this?"

The second leatherworker picked up a small piece of cloth placed on the sewing machine, looked at it carefully under the light, and said without raising his head: "This matter is not important. Didn't you come here to ask me some questions? Let your two friends go out."

"Why are you letting us out? You're not going to take advantage of this opportunity to do anything to us Wuwu, are you?"

Lu Guichi didn't trust the second cobbler because of what happened with Bo Yuting before, so upon hearing this, he stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Wu.

The second shoemaker looked up and glanced at Lu Guichi.

At that moment, Lu Guichi felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and his heart was chilled.

The next moment, he was pulled behind by Lin Wu.

With Lin Wu blocking the second cobbler's view, Lu Guichi finally no longer felt the danger. However, his vigilance increased even more. He tugged at Lin Wu's sleeve and called her in a low voice.

"It's okay, you guys can go out. According to my teacher's rules, no one else can be present during a conversation." Lin Wu said calmly.

Lu Guichi turned around and questioned Bo Yuting with his eyes.

Bo Yuting looked at Relinqing steadily, then exchanged glances with Lin Wu and said to Lu Guichi, "Let's go out."

Lu Guichi: "Ah? Master Jiu, are you really confident that Wuwu can be with this half-human, half-ghost..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Guichi saw that Bo Yuting had turned around and walked out. He had no choice but to tell Lin Wu to call them if there was anything, and then hurriedly caught up with Bo Yuting.

After they left, the second leatherworker withdrew his gaze, continued to look at the cloth in his hand, and said, "Your two friends are quite special."

"What's the special method?"

Lin Wu put his hands in his pockets, hooked a stool behind him with his foot, sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at the other person with slightly raised eyelids.

The second leatherworker seemed to have some difficulty speaking, and he said slowly: "One is plagued by bad luck, and the other has bad intentions."

Lin Wu frowned: "Who are you talking about?"

The second cobbler just laughed and said, "I said I don't know either. Do you believe me?"

"I don't believe it." Lin Wu said without hesitation.

The second leatherworker put down the cloth in his hand and turned to look at Lin Wu. "You will understand in the future. The rule of Ghost Street is to say half of what you say so that both sides have room. You know this well, so don't break the rules."

"who?"

"Wu Pengfei, a former member of the Qin Association. He once had dealings with many wealthy families in Beijing. Later, he caused trouble in Ghost Street and smashed a bar upstairs. I remember that was Liu Dafu's territory. He had a bad temper and wanted to chop Wu Pengfei on the spot, but later Wu Pengfei hid in your place. Liu Dafu gave you face, so he escaped."

Lin Wu paused, observing the second shoemaker's expression intentionally.

But it was no use. The second cobbler's expression did not change and she could not tell anything.

She could only continue, "According to what Wu Pengfei told me, he hid here under the orders of a man named Huo. And the reason you cared about him was because you called this man named Huo."

The second leatherworker stared at Lin Wu with his dark eyes and asked, "So?"

Lin Wu said: "I want to know who this person surnamed Huo is, what his background is, and what his purpose is. In addition..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Wu felt the temperature in the tailor shop suddenly drop, and the atmosphere became cold and tense.

She was not surprised at all and met the second cobbler's gaze.

The other party spoke after a while: "So, Wu Pengfei was defeated by you?"

Sure enough, what Wu Pengfei said was true. The man in front of her was her master and was really inextricably linked to all of this.

She said calmly, "No. The person who dealt with him was your ally, Leng Linfeng, the young master of the Leng family in North City. You can also say he is the leader of the Five Elements in the black market."

The second cobbler's face darkened slightly.

Lin Wu saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Why? Teacher, are you going to do the same thing as Leng Linfeng told me, saying that I know too much, and the people behind you will touch me?"

The second leatherworker looked at her and said slowly, "You shouldn't check all this."

"What if I really want to know?"

Lin Wu sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, with his elbows resting on his knees, his head supported by his folded fingers, and the sense of oppression he felt when he looked at the other person.

But what she never expected was that the second cobbler actually said, "Then I am your lesson."

Lin Wu reacted, and then his heart sank. He stood up and said, "You are like this, is it the person behind you who did this?!"

The second leatherworker said calmly, "I don't know the Leng Linfeng you mentioned. For so many years, I have been guarding Ghost Street alone and never go out. You know this, and it is also well known in Ghost Street. But Wu Pengfei is indeed one of my subordinates. It's just that he directly obeys the orders of that man, and I am only responsible for protecting him when necessary."

"Now I failed to protect him, and as a punishment, I have become like this. If you continue to investigate, you may end up like this too."

He looked directly at Lin Wu and spoke word by word, "Girl, you have a bright future ahead of you. Don't waste it on worthless things."

Lin Wu said in a serious tone: "But you are my teacher. You have become like this, and now it has more to do with me."

The second shoemaker was stunned.

After a moment, he sighed softly and handed the cloth he had been looking at to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu took it and asked with some confusion: "What is this?"

"Don't you want to check? This is the only clue I can give you as a teacher." said the second cobbler.
