"Is he the owner of the Abyss Pawnshop?" Old Wang asked in surprise.
"Yes, Old Wang, how about it? Are you shocked?" Kru asked with a smile.
"This young man is actually the owner of the Abyss Pawnshop. Isn't he too young? The Abyss Pawnshop has two Spirit Kings, and their power is hidden. How can this young man achieve such a level? Isn't it too terrifying?"
Although Old Wang is just an ordinary blacksmith, he is also a ninth-level spiritualist, so he naturally knows more about these things.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the Abyss Pawnshop, which was just established half a year ago, would develop so quickly. In just half a year, it has developed into a force with two Spirit Kings coexisting. I really don't know if the Abyss Pawnshop is given a few more years, how far this force that exists for the pawnshop will develop."
Kelu looked at Old Wang and asked, "Old Wang, how is it? Do you think my persistence was not wrong?"
Old Wang rolled his eyes at Kelu and scolded him with a smile, "Why haven't I heard you mention this for all this time? If you had told me about this young man named Gu Yuan earlier, I wouldn't have kept trying to persuade you!"
"hey-hey."
Kelu scratched his head, lowered his head and said nothing.
Old Wang sighed. Having lived for so many years, he knew what Kru was thinking at the moment.
Kru was probably not completely convinced that Gu Yuan would come, but he just chose to believe it in his heart.
He was taking a gamble, and apparently, he won.
"Okay, now that we know your Mr. Gu Yuan is him, I can rest assured. Okay, Lai, help me make these irons, so you don't have to do it anymore."
"Hehehe, Old Wang, thank you for your understanding. Okay, leave these to me. You can close this iron shop in the future. The money I earn will be enough for your retirement!" Kru said to Old Wang.
"Oh, why are you saying this? I'm still young, do you really think I'm old? Don't close this iron shop now. At least I can still take care of myself now. When I can't make money in the future, you can worry about me. Forget it now. When you become rich, you can take care of me in my old age!"
"Thank you, Old Wang!" Kru said seriously.
"Hurry up and go work as an ironsmith for me. Why are you thanking me for all that nonsense? Is this really necessary for our relationship?"
Old Wang rolled his eyes at Kru and said with his eyes open.
With a smile, Kru picked up the tools on the ground and began to temper the iron block on the furnace.
After leaving Old Wang’s iron shop, Gu Yuan walked towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Passing through several remote and shadowy corners on the way, Gu Yuan put on the Thousand Machine Mask, transformed into a middle-aged man with a sallow face, and then walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Yuan looked at the guards at the door, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he walked straight over.
"Stop, who is it?"
The guard looked at Gu Yuan sharply and stopped him in front of the door.
Gu Yuan snorted coldly, picked up a token from his waist, and handed it over.
"Is this... the city lord's order?"
The guard took the token and his expression changed drastically.
"Greetings, sir!"
The two guards saluted Gu Yuan with terrified expressions.
"Are you feeling better now? I haven't been here for over half a year. Go and inform your young lady that Yuan Gu is here to see you."
"It's Master Yuan. Please wait a moment. I'll go and report to the young lady right away!"
Gu Yuan nodded, then stood there waiting.
After only about a hundred breaths, two hurried footsteps were heard approaching.
"Where is Lord Yuangu?"
A somewhat cold female voice sounded.
"Miss, it's just outside the mansion." The guard replied.
Outside the mansion, Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the two figures walking out.
In addition to the guards just now, there was also a young girl.
The girl looked at Gu Yuan standing in the distance, her eyes flashing with surprise, and she rushed over hurriedly, "Mr. Gu...Mr. Yuan Gu, you're back?"
"Yeah!" Gu Yuan nodded, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Mr. Yuan Gu, come in quickly!"
Lin Wan'er looked at Gu Yuan and said.
"good!"
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, the two stood side by side.
"When did you come back?" Lin Wan'er asked in a low voice.
"I just got back. I told some things at the Abyss Pawn Shop and rushed over here!"
"Well! You've worked so hard." Lin Wan'er said.
"By the way, are you alright with the Huoyun Sect? I saw you rushing to the Huoyun Sect. That's where the Spiritual Emperors are fighting, and you actually dared to rush in. You really are courting death."
"I had my reasons. Don't worry, I'm fine. By the way, how's the princess doing in the six months I've been away?"
Gu Yuan was most concerned about Shui Yaoyao's situation, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed here as soon as he came back.
"You left behind some elixirs when you left. For the past six months, His Highness Shui Ningye has been taking care of her every moment, and has been by her side all the time. Although the princess's condition hasn't improved, it hasn't gotten any worse either. It has always been the same."
"Is there anything wrong with her body? Come on, let's go take a look and talk as we go."
The two walked towards the backyard, and Gu Yuan said, "You know, if a person lies down for a long time without exercising, their muscles may degenerate, and the body's abilities will gradually deteriorate over time. So I'm worried that this might happen to the princess. But I left you some pills before I left. As long as you take them on time, you should be fine."
"So that's how it is. After I joined the Huoyun Sect, I let Your Highness do all these things himself." Lin Wan'er said.
"Well, that should be fine. Shui Ningye is Shui Yaoyao's brother, and it's all because of him that Yaoyao became like this. He is the one who least wants anything to happen to Yaoyao." Gu Yuan sneered.
"By the way, there's something I forgot to mention. It's about the Huoyun Sect. I'm very sorry that your efforts have been in vain. I really didn't expect that incident would happen soon after you joined the Huoyun Sect, causing all your previous efforts to be in vain." Gu Yuan suddenly changed the subject and apologized to Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er just gave a bitter smile and said, "I really didn't expect this to happen. I originally thought that when you came back, you would definitely praise me for my hard work in entering the Huoyun Sect. But before that time came, the Huoyun Sect disappeared inexplicably. Do you know what happened back then? I saw black fog all over the sky in the Huoyun Sect. What was that fog? I just felt cold all over and felt unwell."
"That is demonic energy, something from the outside world." Gu Yuan said with a serious expression.
