Gu Yuan pulled Xiao Xueyan, nodded, and then walked towards Wang Zhong.
"Mr. Gu!"
Wang Zhong, who was arguing with Gao Bing with a red face, stood up with a look of respect.
Gao Bing looked at the young man in front of him with curiosity, not understanding why Wang Zhong was so respectful to a young man who was only an eighth-level spiritual disciple.
"Gao Bing, right? I advise you to tell the truth. Do you have anything to do with Mu San's disappearance?" Gu Yuan looked at Gao Bing and said expressionlessly.
Gao Bing laughed in anger. Wang Zhong was fine, but now even this kid dared to treat him like this?
"Boy, is that how you talk to me?"
Gu Yuan glanced at Gao Bing, and then felt a suffocating pressure weighing down on him, making him want to kneel down.
"What...what's going on?"
Gao Bing's face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks. In contrast, the other people did not show any abnormality.
"Ask again, does this have anything to do with you?"
The faint voice was like a devil's voice piercing his ears, and Gao Bing blurted out: "No!"
He was afraid! He was afraid that if he was slow to answer, his head would fall off the next moment!
Liu Feng and Yuan Zhuo looked at the pale-faced boss with a hint of fear in their eyes. They were not fools. The person who could make the boss so scared must be no simple person.
"I hope so!"
Gu Yuan gestured to Wang Zhong and pulled Xiao Xueyan out.
Wang Zhong looked at Gao Bing, whose eyes were lifeless and looked like he had lost his soul, and seemed to know what had happened.
He sneered and said, "It seems that you have already felt Mr. Gu's anger. I hope you really have nothing to do with this matter. I wish you good luck!"
Then Wang Zhong followed Gu Yuan and left Youdu Tavern.
"Boss!"
"Boss, are you okay?"
Liu Feng and others hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Bing and asked worriedly.
"I...I'm fine."
Gao Bing came to his senses, but the fear in his eyes was still there. His clothes on his back were soaked and he was trembling all over.
"What a terrifying strength."
Gao Bing didn't even dare to look at the figure, but just secretly remembered the face in his heart. This would be a shadow in his life.
He believed that if the owner of that breath just now wanted to kill him, he only needed a finger, no! He didn't even need a finger to wipe him out!
After surviving the disaster, Gao Bing's fear gradually turned into anger. He slammed his palm on the table, attracting the attention of many people.
"Damn it! Who is that blind bastard who dares to touch my third brother, Liu Feng? Check him out, and if I find him, I'll skin him alive!"
…
Walking out of the Youdu Tavern, Wang Zhong followed Gu Yuan closely, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Whatever you want to say, say it." Gu Yuan said.
"Master Gu, where are we going? Are we just going to let Gao Bing go?"
"It shouldn't be Gao Bing."
Gu Yuan sighed, then looked at Wang Zhong: "There's a problem with your teammates."
"Impossible! They have followed the boss for many years, and the boss treats them like brothers. Why would they do this?" Wang Zhong frowned and said in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible, unless the benefits are not enough!"
Gu Yuan sneered in his heart. Mercenaries make a living by risking their lives. If there is a better way to make money, why not take it?
"Could it be him?" Wang Zhong muttered with his pupils constricted.
"Go to your place and you will know the result soon."
Not far from the Mercenary Guild, there are rows of houses. The mercenaries are basically independent cultivators, so this is where they usually stay.
"Our place is the first one on the left in the third row. The boss bought it for a lot of money."
Wang Zhong led the way in front and said.
The mercenaries coming and going looked at the cute little girl beside Gu Yuan from time to time, with uncomfortable looks in their eyes.
Xiao Xueyan frowned. The looks from these guys were really annoying.
With a cold snort, the surrounding mercenaries heard a sound like thunder exploding in their ears. Their faces turned pale, and some even spat out blood.
Wang Zhong, who was walking in front, had his mouth twitching constantly. Isn’t this too cruel?
Gu Yuan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. These mercenaries were really risking their lives by setting their sights on this young girl.
"Mr. Gu, we're here."
Wang Zhong walked to the door of a house and said.
"The boss disappeared inexplicably before, and I didn't dare let them go out to look for clues. Now it seems that it was the right choice, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Wang Zhong's face was full of relief.
"Well, don't worry, we should be able to find the person behind the scenes soon." Gu Yuan said.
Wang Zhong knocked on the door, two quick knocks and one slow knock, which seemed to be a secret signal between their team.
After a while, the person inside opened the door.
"Wang Zhong, you're back!" the person inside the door said in surprise.
"Yes. Mr. Gu, please!"
Wang Zhong leaned sideways and gestured with his hand.
"Hmm? Is there anyone else?"
"Yes, I'll introduce it to you later."
As they walked through the gate, the three people inside looked at Wang Zhong with vigilance in their eyes.
"This is Master Gu Yuan, a good friend of our captain."
"Gu Yuan? This name sounds familiar..." said Lu Chuang in the team.
Gu Yuan smiled, then took off the Qianji mask on his face, looked at everyone and said, "Yes, it's me."
"You are the one who was...?"
Before Lu Chuang could finish his words, Wang Zhong stepped forward, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered in his ear, "Shut up!"
