On the hill across the road at the foot of Qiyun Mountain, Gu En and Bai Yi had already arrived on horseback.
After they arrived, the two lit torches and led their horses along the path into the mountains.
Suddenly, the white-clad man's ears twitched, but he did not stop walking.
Gu En turned to look at Bai Yi, who smiled at him and said, "Fourth Young Master, you have to say, this murderer is really strange. Why go to so much trouble to make such a big scene? Why not just kill the people in three different places one after the other? Why make it so complicated to make it easier for us to find evidence?"
Gu En nodded: "That's right! They seem smart, but they're actually as stupid as pigs."
The man in white said, "Fourth Young Master, do you think we can catch the murderer tonight? The Third Young Lady is so ruthless, if we catch the murderer, will she just execute him on the spot?"
Gu En looked frightened: "Maybe! My third sister is a notorious female devil in the West. Don't be fooled by her delicate appearance; she's ruthless. The Emperor gave her the power of life and death. Anyone who deserves to die can be executed without prior notice."
The woman in white sighed, "I know. I remember when I went to the Western Lands to find the Third Sister, she was all alone, holding a knife, standing in the middle of a group of corpses, exhausted but not falling. She was all alone in the desert, like a frozen statue, killing all the Cloud Sea soldiers on the ground. I'm afraid I'll never forget that scene in my life."
Gu En looked up at the sky: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, Third Sister's inner self and outward appearance are completely inconsistent. All the sisters in our Gu family are like her. Baiyi, let's split up and search. Although this mountain is not as high or as big as Qiyun Mountain, if the two of us search like this, we probably won't find it even by dawn. Look, which direction are you going?"
The man in white smiled. As expected of someone taught by Master Gu, his martial arts skills weren't top-notch, but his brain was quite sharp.
The man in white pointed in a direction and said, "Fourth Young Master, you go over there, and I'll go this way. We'll walk in together then, so there won't be any mistakes."
Gu En's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
The two parted ways just like that.
Gu En followed the direction indicated by the man in white. Looking back, she saw that the man in white was in another direction. If the two of them went back, the most advantageous place to surround him would be one of those spots. Needless to say, there would definitely be someone there.
Gu En's martial arts skills were not as good as Bai Yi's. He had only sensed that there were living things in the forest, but he couldn't tell if they were people or animals. He wanted to ask Bai Yi, but Bai Yi's words made him realize that there were definitely people there.
So he went along with what was being said, and the man in white pointed out the direction, and he understood what to do.
Half an hour later, the two slowly walked back from a distance and met up.
As they drew nearer, Gu En called out, "Baiyi, have you discovered anything?"
The man in white said, "No, I don't know if the Third Miss is wrong. We estimate we'll be searching until dawn."
The man in black, who was hiding in the bushes and didn't dare to breathe loudly, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. However, before he could feel the weight on his heart, he felt two knives stuck in his sides.
He instinctively got up to run away, but Gu En, who was closer, pressed him down.
The man in black wasn't stupid; he tried to escape Gu En's control with a roll, but Gu En wouldn't let him have his way. With a nimble somersault, he overtook him.
