He shook his head vigorously, getting rid of everything in his mind.
I don’t know why, but Gu Yuan often thinks of Gu Shang, a cold woman.
"Maybe you are the only one who is so nice to me!"
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan shook his head again, as if denying his own idea, "No, no, no, you are not alone now, but where are you?"
Gu Yuan sighed. Whenever he thought of Gu Shang, an inexplicable emotion would suddenly burst out in his heart.
Gu Yuan didn’t know what this emotion was. It was not sadness, nor sorrow, and certainly not happiness. Instead, it was a hint of longing and some other things.
"Maybe I really missed you? You must not want to protect me anymore, so you deliberately uprooted Xunhuan Tower and hid from me. Humph! When I find you, I don't believe I can't melt this big block of ice!"
Gu Yuan was thinking secretly in his heart, but was awakened by a roar in his ear.
Gu Yuan suddenly regained his composure and looked at the waiter in the restaurant who was yelling into his ear with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, sir. I just saw you standing here since you came in, so I hurried over to ask if you needed anything, like if you wanted something to eat. But I realized you ignored me after calling you several times, so I was so rude. Please forgive me!"
The waiter's face was filled with deep apology and panic. After all, he was just a waiter in a restaurant, a person with no status at all. All the guests who came to eat here were his breadwinners!
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about something and my mind suddenly got distracted!"
Gu Yuan patted the servant's shoulder and said with a smile.
The servant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "What would you like to eat, sir? We have excellent liquor and delicious specialties. Would you like to have something?"
"Oh? Really? Then do as you say. First, get me a jar of wine, and then bring up the special dishes!"
"Okay, sir, please sit here!"
Gu Yuan looked around and sat down directly at the deepest part. For some reason, he still liked the feeling of being alone.
Although he was sitting at the innermost part and seemed out of place with others, as soon as he sat down, Gu Yuan's soul power quietly spread to the entire hall.
Gu Yuan could hear clearly what everyone said at every table in the hall.
Gu Yuan sat down as if nothing had happened, then stared at everyone in the hall, constantly observing everyone's facial features and appearance, as if trying to find something.
"Strange, for such a big restaurant, why doesn't anyone say anything useful?"
Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly and waited for the waiter to bring the wine and food. After eating a little, he stood up and walked directly towards the shopkeeper behind the counter.
"Sir, if you need anything, please go to the waiter!"
The shopkeeper seemed very busy, with his head lowered, constantly using an abacus in his hand, calculating the data of the past few days.
"I'm done eating." Gu Yuan said softly.
"Um?"
The shopkeeper frowned, stopped what he was doing, then raised his head and stared at Gu Yuan.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Ahem, there's something I want to ask the shopkeeper."
Gu Yuan coughed lightly, then took out a cloth bag from his space ring, which contained a lot of gold coins.
"Boss, these are my gifts to you for drinking. Don't think it's too little!" Gu Yuan handed it over quietly and said softly.
The shopkeeper was just an ordinary person. Seeing Gu Yuan take out such a cloth bag out of thin air, how could he not understand that Gu Yuan had a space ring in his hand.
Things like space rings are basically unaffordable for those who are not rich and powerful, so the shopkeeper can confirm that the identity of the man in front of him should be no simple person.
However, the shopkeeper didn't take it directly. Instead, he said tremblingly, "Sir, I wonder what you want to know? I've been around here for quite a few years and I'm well-informed. If you have any questions, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Yuan smiled, nodded, and handed the cloth bag to the shopkeeper.
"Boss, this money is for your drinks, please accept it." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
The shopkeeper showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but seeing Gu Yuan's serious expression, he could only nod and said, "Sir, what do you want to know? Please ask."
"Well! Actually, my real identity is an explorer. I wonder if the shopkeeper knows what this is for?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Explorers?"
The shopkeeper frowned, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what this profession was.
"I have never heard of this profession. Is it the same as a mercenary?" asked the shopkeeper.
"No, no!"
Gu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "As explorers, we often love adventure, searching for unknown things and exploring unknown areas. Anyway, you can probably understand it this way, and it should be correct."
"Oh, so that's how it is. It seems that this gentleman's cultivation must be extraordinary, otherwise how could he dare to explore those unknown areas?" The shopkeeper's face became more respectful.
"No, no, you're too polite, boss. I'm just a small spiritualist. I'm responsible for gathering information for the explorers in our team. You can think of me as a pioneer, gathering information in advance and then preparing for the team's expedition."
"Haha, so that's how it is. It's like a scout!" said the shopkeeper.
"That's right. Besides that, I also like to collect interesting things. I wonder if you, the shopkeeper, know any special news about the Huoyun Sect?"
"Special news? What does this gentleman mean?" The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, not understanding what Gu Yuan meant.
"What I'm actually talking about is whether there is any news about the Huoyun Sect circulating in the market? Any news will do, it can be widely circulated, or it can be the kind of secret that has been deliberately suppressed in secret! In short, as long as it happened in the past few years, it will be fine!" Gu Yuan said.
"Ah? These, I wonder why this gentleman is asking about these things? You should know that this is the affiliated land of Huoyun Sect! Sir, for your own safety, you'd better not provoke Huoyun Sect casually!"
For the sake of money, the shopkeeper reminded Gu Yuan anxiously.
Gu Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said, "Boss, you misunderstood. We explorers only explore unknown areas and will not explore the sect's out-of-area areas. I am just used to collecting information, that's all."
