Gu Qingfeng is poor! He is now a real pauper. He has used all his belongings to buy horses and is just waiting for next month's salary.

Soon, the group of people had set up a fire, and then they took out some dried meat, game, and dishes of seasonings from the packages as if by magic and started roasting them.

"Miss, I'm away from home and my living conditions are limited. I have to inconvenience you for a while." The old man picked up a skewer of golden roasted meat from the fire, sprinkled it with cumin-like seasoning, which immediately filled the air, and handed it to the young lady.

Gu Qingfeng was drooling as he watched from the side. Damn it! Damn rich people! Is this what you call being wronged? I want to be wronged too.

Looking at the dry bread in his hand, he suddenly lost his appetite.

The young lady seemed to sense Gu Qingfeng's gaze. After taking the barbecue, she said to Gu Qingfeng, "Sir, meeting is fate. If you don't mind, we can have dinner together."

These words made Gu Qingfeng feel more favorable towards her. It could be seen that she was a gentle and kind lady, a good girl with good family education.

But her guards were not so good-tempered.

"Miss, we don't have much food left." The head guard glared at Gu Qingfeng, as if to say, why don't you try one?

Gu Qingfeng's temper immediately came up. I didn't want to eat it, but you glared at me? Then I'm going to eat it today.

So Gu Qingfeng sat down next to the other party's fire and took the skewers from the lady without any hesitation, accidentally touching her silky little hand.

Then he started eating it in big mouthfuls. Is it poisonous?

Gu Qingfeng didn’t even consider it, because the other party had a martial artist at the Qi realm. If he really wanted to harm him, would he need to poison him?

"Tsk! It smells so good!"

"Young lady, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. I will remember this meal together. By the way, what is your name?"

Gu Qingfeng completely ignored the head guard's eyes that were about to burst into anger, and chatted with him while eating.

"My name is Si Wei. Where is the young master?" Si Wei blinked her big curious eyes and looked at Gu Qingfeng. It was obvious that she had lived in seclusion for a long time and was very curious about the people and things outside.

Her good upbringing meant that she had not come into contact with too many men outside, so she did have some desire to chat with people like Gu Qingfeng whom she met during the journey.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace? What a good name! My name is Gu Qingfeng." Gu Qingfeng said vaguely while chewing barbecue.

"Gu Qingfeng? Clear wind and bright moon, a beautiful time on earth. Young Master is also a good name." Si Wei said with a smile.

"By the way, where are you going?" Gu Qingfeng asked casually.

"My father was transferred to Wutong County some time ago. Now that he is settled, he asked me to go find him."

Transfer?

Gu Qingfeng understood as soon as he heard this word. It seemed that Si Wei must be the descendant of an official. To be able to raise such a lady, he must not be a small official. Moreover, he was transferred to Wutong County. What a coincidence?

“Ahem.”

At this moment, the old man next to him suddenly coughed twice. Si Wei was slightly stunned, then she understood something and nodded to the old man embarrassedly.

"Wutong County? What a coincidence! I am from Wutong County."

Si Wei's beautiful eyes lit up: "Really? That's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect that Master Gu is from Wutong County. Could you tell me about the interesting customs and practices of Wutong County?"

"Then you have finally asked the right person. This Wutong County..."

"Shut up!"

Gu Qingfeng was about to introduce himself when suddenly an old man beside him interrupted him.

Gu Qingfeng frowned and looked at the old man.

But what he saw was that the old man had a serious expression, as if facing a great enemy, staring at the door, as if he saw something through the door.

When the other guards saw the old man's reaction, they immediately stood up, drew their swords, and pointed them at the door.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of unusually chaotic footsteps outside the door.

It sounded like there were hundreds of people running, and the sound was getting louder and louder as it got closer and closer!

The old man's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Protect the young lady, I will go out and take a look."

After saying this, without waiting for the guard to reply, the old man disappeared in a flash.

Gu Qingfeng was shocked, thinking to himself, the speed is so fast that it is completely imperceptible to the naked eye?

The aura that the old man revealed at that moment was actually at the Gangqi realm!

Gathering Qi, internal Qi, true Qi, Gang Qi, and innate!

In the fifth realm of martial arts, this old man is just one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the innate master!

A warrior at the Gangqi level! That's equivalent to a ground-level demon slayer!

This allowed Gu Qingfeng to make a rough judgment on Si Wei's identity. His father was definitely one of the most important officials in Wutong County!

At the same time, Gu Qingfeng also became vaguely worried. He was afraid that he had been accidentally involved in some major incident. The fact that a strong man in the Gangqi realm could be so nervous meant that the person who came was at least in the Gangqi realm!

Gu Qingfeng really regretted it now. Why did he have to hide from the rain in the mountain temple? Wouldn’t it be better if he just left?

"Hehehe... Old Ghost Xing, you've made it so hard for me to find you all this way! I didn't expect you to leave the official road behind and take this small path instead?"

A hoarse and low strange laugh came from outside the mountain temple, which made people shudder.

"Are you... the Master of Bones from the Blood Demon Cult?" The old man's voice sounded a little frightened.

“Hehehe… you do have some knowledge. Today, I am happy. As long as you hand over Si Qingyun’s daughter, I can spare your life!”

"Humph, even if I die, I will never let you touch Miss!"

.......

Blood Demon Cult? White Bone Master?

Gu Qingfeng was a little stunned. He didn’t understand!

His previous life was a low-level jailer, so he had no idea about things at the Gangqi realm level.

Fortunately, Si Wei, a lady from a wealthy family, didn't understand it either.

"Uncle Li...what is the Blood Demon Cult? Who is the Master of Bones? Why do I feel like Old Xing seems to be afraid of him?" Si Wei asked nervously.

The head of the guards also had a serious look on his face: "Miss, the Blood Demon Cult is a sect composed of warriors who worship demons. These people are all crazy. In order to pursue powerful strength and long life, they practice demon magic and try to transform themselves into demons. Therefore, most of the followers of the Blood Demon Cult are neither human nor demon, and they do all kinds of evil and eat people like demons. Master Bai Gu is a high-level among them, a strong man in the Gangqi realm, and also the heir of the corpse refining lineage!"

“Eat…eat people?!”

Si Wei screamed and her pretty face immediately turned pale. She was a weak woman and had never heard of such a horrifying thing. Her mind went blank and her body went limp.

Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng was quick to support Si Wei's delicate body in time, otherwise, she would have stood up on her own.

The contact with the strange man made Si Wei's pretty face slightly red. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil so it was not easy to be seen. Si Wei quickly struggled out of Gu Qingfeng's arms.

She knew that Gu Qingfeng meant well, so she didn't say anything.

The guards were all on guard outside at this time, and no one noticed the little movements between the two.

"Uncle Li, why... did the Blood Demon Cult want to capture me? Is it because of Daddy?"

"Yes, the reason why Sir Si was able to take up the post of Magistrate of Wutong County this time was because he had uncovered a major case involving the Blood Demon Cult not long ago. The Blood Demon Cult wanted to arrest you, Miss, and I'm afraid they wanted to use you to take revenge on Sir Si."
