The atmosphere in the woodshed was unusually strange. Gu Liyan sat quietly to the side, lost in thought and not saying a word. Du Xiu also dared not speak. The two seemed to be having a contest of meditation.
Finally, a rumbling sound broke the silence. Du Xiu, clutching his hungry stomach, said awkwardly, "Um... sir, shall we go out and get something to eat?"
Gu Liyan glanced at Duxiu and said, "Go eat by yourself, I'm not hungry."
Duxiu looked embarrassed again, and awkwardly began, "Actually, sir, I've already spent all my money, look at this..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duxiu regretted it a little. Gu Liyan didn't look rich at all from head to toe!
Asking is pointless!
However, just as Duxiu was about to offer to come up with a solution, Gu Liyan flipped his hand and, as if by magic, produced a bag. He then casually tossed the heavy bag to Duxiu and said with a flourish, "Spend it however you like."
Du Xiu stared in astonishment at the bag in his hand, then carefully opened it. Inside, a mountain of glittering gold leaves lay piled up.
Upon seeing the gold leaves inside the bag, Du Xiu swallowed hard, staring at Gu Liyan with a look of astonishment, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow! So many gold leaves, sir, you wouldn't happen to be the notorious bandit who's been on the wanted list for so long, would you?"
Gu Liyan glared at Duxiu and said irritably, "You're spending other people's money and you still want to know where it came from? Are you tired of living?"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Du Xiu immediately shut up and ran out without saying a word.
Gu Liyan watched Duxiu run away in a flash, sighed, and didn't say anything more. He stood up and decided to go out for a walk to familiarize himself with the roads in the Central City. He walked out of the back door of the Triumph Restaurant and headed directly towards the main road.
It has to be said that the city of Central City is really not big, with only ten streets in total.
However, the more Gu Liyan walked, the more he realized that these ten streets were planned, and he could gradually see the layout of the central city: he discovered that the city walls around the central city were very high, and the terrain was in a ravine and valley, and the city walls seemed to be built in a fan shape.
Gu Liyan looked at the city wall and couldn't help but be surprised. "So this city wall is also a magic array! I didn't expect there to be such an excellent array master in this world."
Gu Liyan speculated in his heart that if this magic array were to be activated, even if he transformed into his true form, he would probably find it difficult to climb up.
What a brilliant magic array!
Gu Liyan looked around, filled with admiration.
Then, they continued walking towards the more central part of the city.
Before long, he sensed something was wrong and realized that many people were watching him.
They stared at Gu Liyan's face as if trying to see through him. What was even more unbelievable was that some people had already started following Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan wouldn't ignore the people following him, since he had already given all his money to that fat Duxiu.
Gu Liyan swaggered forward, passing many small vendors selling all sorts of strange and unusual items, some of which Gu Liyan had never even seen before.
Having no money, Gu Liyan couldn't afford to buy anything, no matter how curious she was. To avoid being scammed, she kept her distance from the stall.
Suddenly, Gu Liyan noticed a group of people gathered in front of her, and immediately walked over...
"Please, gentlemen, have mercy! Please buy me!" A woman with a voice as clear and sweet as a lark knelt by the street, pleading with the crowd through tearful eyes.
Gu Liyan squeezed through the crowd, looked at the woman who was selling herself to bury her father, and curled his lip: So there are people selling themselves to bury their fathers here too! She's not bad looking.
Looking at the woman, Gu Liyan suddenly noticed that she had a pair of sword-like eyebrows that vaguely revealed a murderous intent. After thinking about it, Gu Liyan decided that it was better to avoid trouble.
Just as Gu Liyan turned to leave, a burly man walked towards him and brushed past him. Gu Liyan looked at the man with some curiosity, and the man walked directly up to the woman and began to look her over.
The burly man stared at the woman's face for a long time, then took out a silver note and handed it to her. He then said expressionlessly, "Girl, I'll buy you! Be my seventh concubine, the one who killed Qiang!"
Upon hearing the words of the murderer, the woman's expression changed slightly, and her gaze turned ruthless. Gu Liyan almost blurted out, "..."
"careful!"
The woman pulled out a dagger from somewhere and suddenly jumped up to stab the murderer.
The murderer was caught off guard, but Gu Liyan's words "be careful" alerted him. Just as the woman's attack reached him, he anticipated it and dodged to the side, causing the woman to miss her target.
Seeing her attack fail, the woman turned and glared fiercely at Gu Liyan, then without hesitation, she turned and pushed through the crowd, fleeing swiftly...
Murderous Strong curled his lip and said, "How can this cowardly woman be so timid? Go back and be my seventh concubine!"
The murderer continued to taunt the fleeing woman.
Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily. This older brother is really audacious. It's obvious that she wants to assassinate you, and you actually dare to say that you want to marry her as a concubine. That's amazing!
However, Gu Liyan really didn't expect to encounter a murder on the road. It would be better to go out less in the future!
Gu Liyan was about to leave when, unexpectedly, the murderer turned around and spoke to her:
"Brother, please wait a moment!"
Gu Liyan looked up at the nearly two-meter-tall Killer Qiang, sizing up his muscular physique, and became somewhat wary. He spoke with an impatient tone:
"What's up?"
Hearing Gu Liyan's somewhat impatient voice, several burly men in the crowd glared at Gu Liyan with cold faces, and only then did Gu Liyan realize who the killer was.
