After Qi Yan left, the others left the Ye Mansion.

　　Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun followed behind, thinking about what had just happened in the Ye Mansion. Gu Sheng had a strange feeling.

　　He couldn’t figure out why Qi Wuxiao, who had already brought the head of the Ye family back to Jiuzhou Hall, would come back again and find their location accurately.

　　Gu Sheng frowned slightly and lowered his head, stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Yun’s sleeve, and slowed down his pace.

　　”Boss, let’s walk slower.”

　　”Hmm?” Jiang Yun looked sideways with some awareness, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”

　　”Do you feel that something is not right?” Gu Sheng looked up vigilantly at Qi Wuxiao and Lu Li in front of him, and when he saw that the two had no idea, he leaned close to Jiang Yun’s ear, his voice was very low, for fear that Qi Wuxiao would hear it.

　　”Tell me, why did Qi Wuxiao appear so coincidentally when we just got the map fragments, and invite us to Jiuzhou Hall?”

　　Although he and Jiang Yun had to go to Jiuzhou Hall, the more Gu Sheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

　　Qi Wuxiao obviously came for the map fragments this time. If the head of the Ye family had no clue, it was hard to guarantee that he would not focus on himself and Jiang Yun.

　　Moreover, the timing of Qi Wuxiao’s appearance was too coincidental.

　　It was just when they broke free from Qi Ye’s restraints and got the map fragments. Besides the head of the Ye family, the only person in the Ye Mansion who was most likely to know the whereabouts of the map fragments was Qi Ye.

　　Gu Sheng thought and looked up at Qi Wuxiao, who was already some distance away from them.

　　The other party was walking forward on his own, responding to Lu Li’s words from time to time, and did not realize that Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun paused.

　　Perhaps after successfully taking down the head of the Ye family, Qi Wuxiao did not actually leave, but searched for Qi Ye’s traces in the Ye family, and finally found the dungeon where he and Jiang Yun were imprisoned before.

　　”Could it be…” Jiang Yun listened to what Gu Sheng was thinking, and asked thoughtfully, “Do you suspect that he came for the map fragments on Qi Ye?”

　　Gu Sheng nodded: “Yes.”

　　”So, boss, do we have to follow Qi Wuxiao to Jiuzhou Hall today?”

　　Jiang Yun did not reply immediately.

　　He and Gu Sheng had the same idea as the first half, but Jiang Yun had reservations about not going to Jiuzhou Hall.

　　The other party was just a Jiuzhou Hall, and it was no threat to Jiang Yun.

　　Especially the current head of Jiuzhou Hall, whose strength was average and not a ruthless person. If the previous head had not passed away unexpectedly, the position of head would not have been his.

　　Jiang Yun had fought against Jiuzhou Hall twice in his previous life. One time was when the current head was in office. He was framed and asked to prove himself by Jiuzhou Hall. He “rectified” the traitors in the hall.

　　Another time was when the current head resigned and the new head took office. Jiang Yun snatched the last piece of the map from the other party.

　　… Let’s not talk about this for now.

　　”If you don’t want to go, stay here and wait for me to come back.”

　　Jiang Yun slowed down and walked side by side with Gu Sheng, looking down at the people around him, thinking.

　　He had to admit that the last head of Jiuzhou Hall did have some tricks.

　　But the one in power now is not that person. If Gu Sheng does not want to go to Jiuzhou Hall at this critical moment, he can put him in a safe place and go alone.

　　If Jiuzhou Hall is destroyed first, Gu Sheng will not have so many concerns.

　　Jiang Yun raised his eyes and looked at Qi Wuxiao in front of him with Gu Sheng.

　　The head of Jiuzhou Hall is not to be feared. The only thing to pay attention to is how to deal with their deputy head without anyone noticing.

　　Although Qi Wuxiao looks very easy-going, he is a difficult person to deal with in the later period.

　　Qi Wuxiao and Jiang Yun had a good relationship in the previous life. If the other party stood on Lu Li’s side in this life…

　　Jiang Yun’s eyes turned cold, and he lowered his eyes to avoid the gaze of Qi Wuxiao who happened to turn around.

　　Gu Sheng opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Qi Wuxiao asked, “Why are you two walking so slowly?”

　　Qi Wuxiao pointed to several carriages that appeared not far ahead. He turned around and was about to call Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun to get on the carriage when he saw that they were a long way behind him.

　　”Excuse me, Deputy Hall Master Qi, which Jiuzhou Hall are we going back to?”

　　Gu Sheng’s doubts grew more and more. He took a half step back and looked at Qi Wuxiao silently, and did not get on the carriage as he asked.

　　Normally, for the few of them plus Qi Ye and several attendants of Jiuzhou Hall, two carriages would be enough, but Qi Wuxiao unexpectedly sent several carriages of attendants to guard Qi Ye.

　　Is it worth mobilizing so many troops?

　　”Of course, we are going back to the capital.” Qi Wuxiao smiled slightly as he met Gu Sheng’s gaze and explained.

　　”The matter of the Ye Mansion is of great importance, so we have to go back to the main hall instead of interrogating the head of the Ye family and Qi Ye in the Fengcheng branch hall.”

　　”By the way, I forgot to ask before, were you two born in Fengcheng?”

　　Qi Wuxiao bowed slightly as if he had just remembered, and then asked.

　　”The journey to the capital is long this time, and it may take a lot of time. You’d better tell your family in advance, or if you have unfinished business, you can go and finish it first.”

　　”Qi Ye will be taken back to the capital by my men for interrogation, and I will stay in Fengcheng for a few days. This time is just right for waiting for you two.”

　　Gu Sheng shook his head: “No need.”

　　”That’s fine.” Qi Wuxiao thought for a while, “Don’t you two have anything important to do, then why don’t you go with me to stroll around Fengcheng first?”

　　”Deputy Hall Master Qi, I mean, there’s no need to go back to Jiuzhou Hall.” Gu Sheng corrected the other party’s thoughts and found an excuse casually, “My boss and I are still concerned here, and I can’t leave Fengcheng for the time being. Sorry.”

　　Lu Li raised his head and looked puzzled.

　　”Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun, besides each other, I’ve been the only one around you for so many years.”

　　”And I’ve known you for a long time, but I’ve never heard that you’re worried about each other.”

　　As he said that, Lu Li pointed his finger at Gu Sheng, and then thought about what he had done before, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

　　”Gu Sheng, Qi Wuxiao was so kind to invite you and Jiang Yun to Jiuzhou Hall, but you’re going to use such a poor excuse to perfunctorily deal with him?”

　　”You’re no longer the Gu Sheng I know!”

　　”The boss and I haven’t settled accounts with you about your matter yet, Lu Li.” Seeing the other party’s elementary school tone, Gu Sheng laughed out loud, not intending to give Lu Li a good face.

　　”Besides, what does it have to do with you if I reject Qi Wuxiao?”

　　”Why don’t you just be his little follower and meddle in other people’s business?”

　　Lu Li shut up the moment the other party said this, and glared at Gu Sheng fiercely and didn’t say anything again.

　　It was indeed his fault in this matter. Lu Li didn’t continue to argue with Gu Sheng, and Lu Li couldn’t beat the other party’s words…

　　Seeing this, Gu Sheng no longer paid attention to Lu Li. He took a step forward and blocked Jiang Yun who was about to speak behind him, and looked at Qi Wuxiao with a firm gaze: “The boss and I will not be visiting Jiuzhou Hall, Deputy Hall Master Qi, you don’t mind, do you?”

　　”Of course not.”

　　Qi Wuxiao shook his head, and still had a smile on his face when he looked at Gu Sheng: “So are you two planning to leave now?”

　　Gu Sheng began to reply impatiently: “Yes.”

　　Qi Wuxiao seemed to be unable to feel Gu Sheng’s emotional changes, and still asked slowly: “Do you need my Jiuzhou Hall’s carriage to take you there?”

　　Gu Sheng: …

　　”Don’t worry, Vice Hall Master Qi. The boss and I can go there. You should ask your men to take Qi Ye back to Jiuzhou Hall as soon as possible.”

　　Gu Sheng held Jiang Yun’s hand and led his men away without waiting for Qi Wuxiao to ask again.

　　When passing by the other side, he did not forget to leave a word: “Therefore, Vice Hall Master Qi, please make way. I am going to find our “concern” with the boss.”

　　Jiang Yun, who followed Gu Sheng without saying a word: …

　　Forget it, since Gu Sheng didn’t want to go, then he would go with Gu Sheng.

　　He also wanted to see whether the “concern” between the two of them mentioned by Gu Sheng really existed.

　　”Lu Li.”

　　Qi Wuxiao smiled at the backs of Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun, then turned his head to look at Lu Li beside him, raised his head and asked: “Then will you go back to Jiuzhou Hall with me in a few days, or leave with them.”

　　”Of course I will go with you.”

　　Lu Li nodded without hesitation, took a step forward, stood closer to Qi Wuxiao, held his wrist, and walked in the opposite direction of Gu Sheng and the others.

　　”Let’s go, I’ll take you to visit Fengcheng!”

　　-

　　After returning to the familiar entrance of Fengcheng market, Gu Sheng let go of Jiang Yun’s hand and didn’t rush in.

　　The words just now were originally used by Gu Sheng to fool Qi Wuxiao. After all, he and Jiang Yun were not native to Fengcheng, and both of them were orphans, so naturally they had no worries as Lu Li said.

　　But!

　　Gu Sheng looked at the market in front of him, thinking about the location of the “thing” in his memory.

　　After leaving Qi Wuxiao and the others, he suddenly remembered that there were still things in Fengcheng that could make them care!

　　Gu Sheng opened his eyes wide and searched for the target. After finding it, his eyes lit up slightly, and subconsciously tried to pull Jiang Yun’s hand again, but he was empty.

　　”Gu Sheng.” Jiang Yun, who was beside him, had been one step behind Gu Sheng without knowing when. He looked at Gu Sheng who turned around and blinked slowly, “Why don’t you leave?”

　　”Didn’t you say you were going to look for our ‘concern’?”

　　Gu Sheng:…

　　”To be honest, Boss, I was just joking with Qi Wuxiao.”

　　Jiang Yun smiled and said nothing.

　　Gu Sheng wanted to give Jiang Yun a surprise, so he didn’t tell him about the “concern”. He felt guilty for a while and then pointed to the market: “Although there is no one we care about in Fengcheng, we are here now, why not go shopping before leaving!”

　　Jiang Yun glanced at Gu Sheng, but didn’t expose his little thoughts. He nodded and followed Gu Sheng into the market.

　　Gu Sheng pulled Jiang Yun and walked towards the only sword workshop in the market without hesitation.

　　As he led his men to the destination, he said to Jiang Yun the words he had already thought of: “Boss, after what happened at Ye Mansion, I found that bare-handed is really not suitable for me. My personal physical fitness needs to be strengthened, and I need a weapon that suits me.”

　　Gu Sheng lied with his eyes open under Jiang Yun’s calm gaze: “This way I can better protect you in the future, so I decided to practice sword from today!”

　　”As for physical training, I’ll have to ask you, boss!”

　　”Okay, boss!”

　　Gu Sheng let go of Jiang Yun’s hand and stood in front of the sword shop. He pointed with his hand, turned his head and looked at Jiang Yun eagerly, as if he would not leave unless the other party followed him in.

　　After all, the money was all on Jiang Yun, and his purchase of a sword was just an excuse, the purpose was to give Jiang Yun a suitable weapon.

　　”Not a bad idea.” Jiang Yun nodded in agreement, raised his foot and followed Gu Sheng into the store, and handed all the silver left from buying clothes last time to Gu Sheng.

　　”In that case, let’s go in and take a look.”

　　Inside the sword shop.

　　”Welcome to our shop.”

　　There were not many people in the sword shop at this time, and the owner did not need to explain when buying a sword, so the owner lying in front of the counter stood up slightly when he saw someone coming in, said a greeting, and then lay down again.

　　Gu Sheng nodded indifferently, looked around and found the target, then pulled Jiang Yun to the corner of the sword shop.

　　In the corner was a wooden sword with a dusty blade, which was very inconspicuous, but Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

　　He looked around again and waved to call the owner over.

　　”Boss, how much is this sword!”

　　The boss on the recliner opened his eyes and walked over here, and saw Gu Sheng pointing to a very ordinary sword next to a wooden sword, yawning and quoting a price.

　　Not expensive.

　　Gu Sheng weighed the purse in his hand and secretly calculated the price in his heart.

　　If the wooden sword next to it is added… this money should be enough.

　　”Boss, can I buy one and get one free?” He rubbed his hands, held out the bag of money to the shop owner, pointed at the wooden sword in the corner, and negotiated with him with blinking eyes.

　　”Boss, please be kind~”

　　The shop owner took the purse calmly, opened it and looked at it, and the expression on his face almost didn’t hold back.

　　This, this, this! The money in it! But it’s enough to buy several swords!

　　His hands trembled slightly, and he glanced at the dusty sword with a nonchalant look on his face, probably disgusted, so he waved his hand.

　　”Buy one get one free? Of course it’s okay. It’s just a wooden sword, take it if you want it.”

　　It’s a good deal!

　　Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up slightly: “Thank you, boss!”

　　”Yeah.” The boss nodded calmly.

　　It’s a good deal!

　　Gu Sheng happily picked up the two swords, his eyes fell on the wooden sword with some heat, took out a handkerchief to stroke the sword body, and wiped off the thin layer of dust on it.

　　This sword is called Zhao Yun, which is Jiang Yun’s sword in the future. It is a rare sword with spiritual energy in the world. It’s a pity that it has not recognized its owner yet.

　　As for how to recognize the master, Gu Sheng adopted the most traditional method of dripping blood to recognize the master.

　　When he thought of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Yun, his eyes stayed on the other person for a moment, as if thinking about where to bleed so that Jiang Yun would not notice and feel no pain.

　　After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Sheng gave up.

　　At present, there is no such method at all. It seems that he can only consider it when practicing with Jiang Yun later.

　　Drip blood to recognize the master, and still plan to take action?

　　How could he not know that he had been the owner of this sword.

　　After hearing what Gu Sheng was thinking, Jiang Yun looked at him again, then glanced at the wooden sword, smiling without saying anything.

　　”Since you have chosen the sword, let’s leave.”
