Gu Yunni raised her eyebrows, and the words she said were so infuriating that she could almost die.
"Why should I listen to your advice? Are you going to let me arrest you? Why don't I make the decision myself? You'll be free anyway if you go back, so why not stay at my place?"
The Imperial Master was almost amused, and only after watching Gu Yunni put the little ghost into the gourd did they leave the City God Temple.
"What a shame! I thought I'd meet the man behind this today, but in the end, I didn't get much. What do you think we should do next? We can't just let him get away with it."
As soon as she arrived at the county government office, Gu Yunni sighed deeply.
After a whole night of hard work, I only got a few words, but they were insignificant at that. It was so boring.
"Don't worry! Since he sent someone to pass on the message, he must have noticed our whereabouts. Maybe he can't sit still and will come looking for us soon."
The national teacher also felt a little regretful, and they all hoped that the problem could be resolved quickly.
However, if he was really that easy to catch, he would not have messed up Anyuan County like this.
Gu Yunni was skeptical, but still wanted to find out more information.
She was not very familiar with the master, so she had to be restrained in her actions.
"Really? How did you know he would come looking for you? Are you familiar with him and understand his character? If you tell me about it, I can think of a way to deal with it."
"No, I really don't know him at all, so stop guessing. If I knew, how could I possibly hide it from you? I'm just guessing. I've dealt with him before, so I can guess a little bit."
The Imperial Master was helpless. He had to say this sentence many times before Gu Yunni would believe it.
He could clearly tell who his teammates were, and he would not hide anything from Gu Yunni for a small matter.
"Forget it, I'm just asking casually. I don't know his methods, and I've only heard a little about his deeds. I really can't guess. Why don't you go back to bed? Tell me what you've learned."
Gu Yunni blushed when she heard that. She was really embarrassed to say that she was just gossiping and didn't care about how the matter would develop.
If she said this, the Imperial Master would probably scold her.
Sheng Mingyu walked Gu Yunni back to the door and said a few words to comfort her.
"Yun Ni, don't be too anxious. That man won't let this go. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many disputes in Kyoto before. If you arrest the kid, he'll probably come looking for you again."
In fact, this was just his guess. He had heard little news about the mystic master. This was his analysis of what Mo Qing had told him about during the past few days in Kyoto.
What Sheng Mingyu said touched Gu Yunni's heart.
"Really? Then I'll wait. I guess he'll be looking for me personally and won't involve anyone else. I'm suddenly interested."
Gu Yunni has been patient for many days, just wanting to compete with the master of mystical arts.
Sheng Mingyu smiled gently. He liked the current Gu Yunni because of her fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, I will have more people guarding here in the near future. If anything unexpected happens, we will be able to arrive in time."
"Are you busy tonight? If not, come sit in my room and tell me about what happened in Kyoto in the past. I never left the house, so I really don't know."
Gu Yunni just said it casually. She was very interested in everything related to the mysterious arts.
But what he said made Sheng Mingyu stunned. He and Gu Yunni had been together for such a long time, but they had never been together in the middle of the night.
"Will it cause you trouble? There are so many people in the county government office. If others see you, it might affect your reputation."
Sheng Mingyu is still in the reserved stage, but Gu Yunni doesn't understand.
Since when did Sheng Mingyu start caring about the rumors outside?
"What's the big deal? We're already engaged, and if things don't work out, we'll get married when we return to Kyoto. Do you care about reputation or not? If you really feel it's inconvenient, then don't go in. You can chat outside. I just want to ask about the situation of that mystic."
Seeing that Sheng Mingyu was reluctant to give in, Gu Yunni felt very troubled and decided to take a step back.
In fact, she also had her own little thoughts and wanted to get closer to Sheng Mingyu.
"Let's go in and talk." Sheng Mingyu didn't hesitate any longer and stepped into the house first.
Mo Qing and the others who followed behind him looked at each other.
Logically speaking, they should stay by Sheng Mingyu's side at all times.
But in this situation, if they go in, they will probably be beaten to pieces. It is best to wait outside obediently.
Sheng Mingyu didn't wait for Gu Yunni to ask, sitting on the stool in deep thought. "This prince doesn't know that person very well. At that time, he didn't want to take care of the affairs of Jingdou, and occasionally had to go out to fight. The only thing I know is that he harmed many people. In the end, His Majesty found out and dismissed him from his position."
He told Gu Yunni all the news he had heard yesterday. He didn't know whether it was useful to her or not, but this was all he knew.
Gu Yunni didn't find the atmosphere between the two people in the room strange.
After all, we were talking about serious matters and couldn't think of anything else.
"What exactly is it that is harming the people? The Imperial Master also raised this question, but I've been asking for a long time and haven't gotten an answer."
Sheng Mingyu frowned. He felt that this man was cruel when he heard it.
I still feel angry when I recount it today. How heartless must one be to do such a thing?
"He secretly abducted civilians back to his palace and dug out their hearts to make elixirs. When the imperial guards broke into his mansion, that secret room was like hell on earth. If you really want to know, I can go back to Kyoto and ask the imperial guards. Many of them were involved in this."
From what Sheng Mingyu said, Gu Yunni understood what the Taoist master of the mysterious arts was going to do.
"I think I know what he wants to do by digging out a human heart. My master's book once wrote that digging out a human heart can be used to make an elixir of immortality. But that's just a lie. Many people have tried since ancient times, but no one has succeeded."
What she despised most were people like this, who disregarded the lives of all the people for their own selfish desires.
What good would immortality do? Would it really bring happiness?
Sheng Mingyu didn't expect that Gu Yunni was also involved in this area.
But he also looked down on that man. No matter why he hurt the people, he was not a good person.
"From ancient times to the present, how many people have sought immortality? How many atrocious deeds have they committed to achieve this? It truly is a fate that no generation can escape."
Gu Yunni calmed down and began to investigate the case seriously.
She must bring to justice those who harm the people like this.
Moreover, the master once said that the mysterious arts are for saving people, not for hurting people.
Anyone who violates this theory should be punished.
