"Gu...Brother Gu? Are you Master Yuan?"
In Old Wang's iron shop in the north of the city, Kru looked at the young man who had taken off his disguise, his face full of shock.
Gu Yuan had returned to his original appearance at this moment. He stared at Kelu with a faint smile on his face. "What? You don't believe it?"
"No... no, it just feels a little unbelievable. No wonder you showed up so coincidentally that day. I guess you rescued me because you saw it was me, right?"
Kelu scratched his head and laughed.
"Haha, I originally wanted to show my true face, but for some reason, I disguised myself a little. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just really shocked. But no matter whether you are Mr. Gu or Mr. Yuan, I, Kelu, will follow you for the rest of my life. I hope Brother Gu won't despise me."
Waving his hand, Kru said that he really didn't expect that the person who made him determined to follow was Gu Yuan whom he had met before.
"Okay! Since you said that, I won't be hypocritical. Anyway, from now on, when Gu Yuan has something to eat, yours will definitely be included."
Patting his chest, Gu Yuan said sincerely.
Then he continued, "I came here today mainly to learn about the situation at the City Lord's Mansion. It's been quite some time. When I left last time, I asked you to keep an eye on the situation at the City Lord's Mansion. How is it going now? Is there any unusual movement there?"
Gu Yuan was a little worried about Shui Yaoyao's situation. Although Shui Ningye was her brother, one could tell from his actions that compared to the throne, Shui Yaoyao might really be nothing.
Mentioning this, Kelu's face grew serious. He said, "I've already sent Old Wang somewhere else for a while now, fearing he might be targeted. Didn't I mention before that I have a friend working at the City Lord's Mansion? Yesterday, he sent me a message saying that Ming Xing, Shui Ningye's bodyguard, has been in close contact with Han Tian from the Huoyun Sect. However, every time Ming Xing comes into contact with Han Tian, he seems to avoid other people, not even Your Highness knows about it. I don't know what secrets are involved."
"Han Tian?"
Gu Yuan frowned slightly. Why is this guy here again?
"What? Do you know him?" Kru asked in surprise.
"Well, not only do we know each other, but we also have some grudges."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Ming Xing is responsible for protecting Shui Ningye's safety. He is also a member of the imperial family. The imperial family has always been wary of the sects within the territory. Why would he associate with Han Tian, a member of the Huoyun Sect?"
"I don't know either, but there must be some interests involved. Otherwise, why would Ming Xing, a powerful spiritual master, associate with Han Tian?" Kru said with a sneer.
Gu Yuan nodded, feeling even more worried.
"If the Huoyun Sect interferes in the affairs of the royal family this time, that would be very interesting. It seems that we need to give Shui Yaoyao a warning."
Gu Yuan looked at Kelu and said, "You can go to the north of the city and find a man named Mu San. I opened a pawnshop there, but it hasn't opened yet. He's currently running it for me. You two can look after each other when you're together. When I'm not around, you can ask him to tell me anything."
"Oh? A pawn shop? What's the point of opening that?" asked Crewe.
Gu Yuan smiled, his face full of mystery: "The pawnshop will open in half a month. I plan to do something big by then. Are you interested in coming and taking a look?"
"How does it work?" Kru raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly.
"Hehe, I won't tell you yet. If you want to know, go find Mu San yourself."
"Brother Gu, you want me to be your free labor, right?" Kru said with a helpless smile.
"Haha, don't worry. Your efforts won't be in vain. The publicity will be huge and will definitely attract a large number of people. Then all you have to do is prepare to count the money."
Patting Kru's shoulder, Gu Yuan said confidently.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like Brother Gu is really planning on doing something big. I'm a little curious. Okay! I'll go check it out tomorrow!"
"Yeah! But I can't go with you. I still have some things to do."
"Are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Yes. The princess is my friend. I have to go help her and not let her be in such a dangerous situation."
Kelu smiled bitterly and said, "Ming Xing is a powerful spirit master. Brother Gu, you are a ninth-level spirit disciple, too weak. Why don't you let me go? I have the dark attribute. After last experience, I will be careful this time. If you have anything to say, I can help you convey it to the princess."
Gu Yuan smiled, knowing that Kelu was worried about him.
"Don't worry, I'm very afraid of death. Since I dare to go, I will naturally be able to come out. Don't worry."
"Is it really okay?"
Gu Yuan nodded helplessly, "It's really no problem, don't worry, I still care about my life."
Seeing that Gu Yuan insisted again and again, Kru had nothing to say and had to follow Gu Yuan's opinion.
That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky. Gazing at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, Gu Yuan turned his head to look at the golden-feathered vulture in the tree and said, "Senior Eagle, I have to trouble you again this time!"
The golden-haired vulture shook his head and said helplessly, "You fellow, you're asking me to do things for you so soon."
Gu Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "This has its reasons."
"After you finish this, you should break through quickly. It's really uncomfortable to be stuck at the ninth level of spiritual master."
After saying something dissatisfied, the golden-haired vulture shrank to a tiny size and landed on Gu Yuan's shoulder.
"Let's go. From what you said, that Ming Xing is only a Level 2 Spirit Master. With my current strength, I'm more than capable of dealing with him. I don't understand why you're so cautious. Why don't you just barge in directly?"
