In the black market, two tightly wrapped men wearing black robes and masks were wandering around.
That’s right, they are Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
Now they have made complete disguises, even their voices have been changed by Gu Qingze using the voice changing spell. If they were asked to speak now, the tone would be harsh and sharp, and it would be impossible to tell whether they are men or women.
Even so, they were still not at ease.
Of course, the one who is most worried among them is Gu Qingze. He does not have the same protagonist halo as the male protagonist. Although he is going to protect the male protagonist, if he fails to protect the male protagonist, the male protagonist will at most be injured, but if he does not protect himself, he may really die.
He is actually quite afraid of death, and if he has a choice he would still like to live.
However, even so, he did not regret the decision he had just made.
If he were given the choice again, he would still accompany Chu Lingxiao into the black market.
Friendship is so great that it can actually change a person...
Gu Qingze sighed.
He took Chu Lingxiao and turned a few corners on the spacious streets, and finally stopped in a more remote place in the city.
I found the guard in charge of security there and showed him a sign with a retro pattern printed on it.
The man nodded slightly, found someone else to take over his position, and then left.
"Let's sit here and rest for a while. Someone will come to pick us up later."
"Wait, who will pick us up? Also, why are you so familiar with the black market?"
Chu Lingxiao had just observed that Gu Qingze didn't even hesitate when choosing the route, and even took out an unknown object to the stranger.
"Because the black market has the Gu family's backing. One of the people in charge is actually the Gu family behind the scenes."
"But unfortunately, the other industries are not under the control of the Gu family. It's too late now, and the old housekeeper of the Gu family should be resting now. So, if you want the thing you need, you'll have to trouble us to come in and run over."
Chu Lingxiao stood there in a daze, asking in confusion.
"Then what happened to you acting like a hero just now? I thought the black market was so unsafe."
Gu Qingze replied in confusion.
"The black market is indeed unsafe, and the Gu family only controls a quarter of the territory. The rest of the territory is still full of dangers. So we must not relax or slack off."
What do you mean by "only" occupying? Is this even human language?
According to Chu Lingxiao's understanding, the other two families have no territory in the black market.
Sure enough, the other two families were called big families because they reached the standards of big families, and the Gu family was a big family because the upper limit was only a big family.
But what Gu Qingze said was indeed correct. Even so, the black market was still very dangerous.
Chu Lingxiao nodded, reluctantly agreeing with Gu Qingze's statement.
"Master Gu, why did you come here in person? The black market is so dangerous, it's not a place for someone of your status. What should I do if the head of the family blames me?"
Following the sound, I saw seven or eight burly men wearing the Gu family's uniform. The man standing behind him and talking was a middle-aged man in his thirties. The clothes he wore were similar to those of the burly men, but the patterns were more complicated and intricate. He was obviously the leader of the group.
At this moment, he was speaking hurriedly, looking a little flustered.
"I'll explain it to my father."
"With the young master's words, I feel relieved."
The leader looked at Gu Qingze with a puzzled look and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Master Gu, my name is A'nuo. I was specially assigned here by the head of the family. Um...we met on your third birthday."
"Uh...now that you mention it, I remember."
I didn't remember it at all, okay?
How can a three-year-old child remember someone he only met once?
Besides, it wasn’t him at that time, that was what the original owner experienced.
"Is the person next to you Master Gu's friend?"
"Yes, and we're good friends. Just treat him the same way you treat me."
Arnold nodded, then looked at Chu Lingxiao beside Gu Qingze with attention.
"Excuse me, Master Gu, what brings you here?"
"Could Uncle Arnold please send someone to buy the blood of the Klinkodo beast?"
"Of course, as long as it is the young master's order, I will carry it out. Is there anything else, young master?"
"Not for now, Uncle Arnold, go get busy."
Gu Qingze's tone was not as arrogant as a young master's, but rather polite and gentle, which made people feel comfortable.
The word "uncle" made the smile on Arnold's face even wider and more eager.
"Then you can just wander around here, young master. This area is full of our people, no one dares to touch you. If you need anything, just give us a shout."
Arnold pointed to the place marked with a red circle on the map.
Since the uncle said so, it should be safe.
If he refused now, it would seem like he didn't trust his ability.
Gu Qingze nodded politely and pulled Chu Lingxiao into the crowd.
"Kerr, take a few people to follow the young master and his friends and protect them secretly. If they are harmed in the slightest, get out as soon as possible."
"yes"
A burly man above him nodded solemnly, waved his hand, and mixed into the crowd with several of his subordinates.
"The young master is not only excellent in all aspects, but he is also not arrogant or complacent, and he knows how to be polite and gentle to others. When he grows up, he will definitely be able to shoulder the burden of the Gu family. The head of the family can finally have a chance to rest."
Arnold stared at the people who had joined the crowd and smiled softly.
He vaguely remembered that his parents were killed by evil cultivators and all the family property was swept away. When he was still young, he went out to play with his friends and came back to see the house burning in the fire. He stood there at a loss as to what to do. He was almost killed by the evil cultivators who were still there. It was the head of the Gu family who passed by and saved his life and took him in.
From then on, his life had only two meanings: to find clues to avenge his parents and to repay the Gu family for saving his life and raising him.
