As Du Xiu became smug, Gu Liyan slapped him across the face. "What are you grinning about! You're not leaving until you get to the bottom of this!"
Du Xiu rubbed his head and just chuckled, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Gu Liyan was utterly speechless at this fatso; he was incredibly thick-skinned! So, Gu Liyan stopped wasting words with him and waved, "Get in the car!"
"My lord, what are you going to the central city for? To find someone or to take care of something?" Du Xiu asked with a fawning expression.
Gu Liyan glanced at Duxiu and asked, "You've traveled all over the country for so long, have you heard about the Scorpion Demon?"
Du Xiu stared wide-eyed at Gu Liyan in astonishment, stammering, "M-Master, you...you're not going to find a monster, are you?"
Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, I'm looking for the Scorpion! Is there a problem?"
"Cough cough!" Du Xiu choked, his expression changing slightly:
"My lord, you are unaware of the fact that the demon scorpion originally lived in the desolate city, but because the desolate city had few resources, he came to the western city. Later, it was said that his identity as a demon was exposed, so he killed someone and fled to the central city. As you know, the central city is a mixed bag, so it is perfectly normal for a demon to hide there!"
Gu Liyan nodded, but his brows furrowed:
"So, he ended up in Central City?"
"It should be correct." Duxiu nodded.
“Then let’s go to Central City! Let’s go now!” Gu Liyan said with a serious expression.
Seeing Gu Liyan's serious expression, Du Xiu swallowed hard, knowing he had no choice but to accompany him.
Meanwhile, Mo Shang had already contacted his network of contacts and was beginning to search for Gu Liyan's whereabouts.
Upon approaching Hua Xiaoxiao, Mo Shang changed his usual attitude and spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiaoxiao, everything should be fine now. Just wait for news at home."
Hua Xiaoxiao ignored Mo Shang and instead spoke to Zi Xin, "Master, I also want to go to Central City. I... I want to find Xiao Li."
Seeing Hua Xiaoxiao's worried expression, Zi Xin nodded and didn't object, "Okay, let's go find him together!"
Seeing the two about to leave, Mo Shang immediately became anxious, "Then I want to go too!"
Zi Xin glared at Mo Shang. "Why don't you stay home and be a good young master? What are you doing out there?"
“I don’t feel comfortable letting two women go to a place like that. Besides, that Li is my savior. It’s normal for me to go and save him, right?” Mo Shang said with an air of righteous indignation.
Zi Xin glanced at Hua Xiaoxiao, seemingly asking for her opinion. Hua Xiaoxiao looked at Mo Shang, unsure whether she should refuse.
"Xiaoxiao, you won't be able to find people there without money. Let me come with you!" Mo Shang appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him.
Hua Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright then..."
Seeing Hua Xiaoxiao agree, Mo Shang secretly sneered, the whole conspiracy was left unsaid.
