When Gu Sheng left the world, he was still confused.
”Boss, are we out now?”
He stood in the same place. Not far in front of him was the guest room that the attendant had mentioned before. There was no one around except Jiang Yun.
Where is Lu Li?
Has he entered the next level of illusion?
Since knowing that the plot has collapsed, Gu Sheng has become alert and always pays attention to the movements around him.
- I hope that the development of the plot will not be too different from the original book.
”Boss, step back.”
Gu Sheng stretched out his hand to block Jiang Yun, looked around, and slowly retreated with him.
”Swish!”
At this time, a person ran out from the back.
Gu Sheng pretended to be startled and turned his head instantly, but his arm was still blocking Jiang Yun.
In fact, he knew the other party’s identity like a mirror in his heart, but he still asked according to the “procedure”: “Who are you!”
Jiang Yun raised his head and looked over with him.
The man was ragged, and his hair that had not been trimmed for a long time was scattered in a mess, blocking part of his face.
Coupled with the opponent’s ferocious movements, he looked like a madman.
The “madman” didn’t even look at Gu Sheng, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the two of them with his arms swinging.
”Stop!”
Before Gu Sheng could make any move, the opponent was stopped by the man who appeared not far away.
”Catch him.”
While the “madman” paused, the head of the Ye family came with a group of servants from not far away, waved his hand and gave an order, and the servants behind him instantly controlled him.
”Ah-ah-“
The other party made a sound at this time, screaming and trying to break free from the restraints but to no avail.
”Take him away.”
The head of the Ye family did not give the other party a glance from beginning to end. He let the servants take the man away while the other party was shouting, and then he bowed slightly to Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun.
”You two are frightened. This person is the one who attacked me at night. He was caught by the servants in the past few days and locked in the woodshed. He is getting more and more crazy. He was well guarded. I don’t know why he escaped today.”
”The guards of the Ye Mansion are really ‘diligent’.” Gu Sheng said without hesitation, which made the smiling face of the head of the Ye family darken instantly.
The other party lowered his head and adjusted for a moment before raising it again.
”Don’t bother about this matter.” The head of the Ye family looked back and forth between the two, but did not see Lu Li.
”Where is the other friend who came with you?”
Could it be that the illusion…
The head of the Ye family smiled secretly in his heart, staring at Jiang Yun and the others, thinking.
These two people seem to have some strength. The group of people who came to his house before have not appeared since entering the illusion. Now they have not only escaped from the illusion, but also lost only one person.
Maybe they can really help him catch the “female ghost”.
Thinking of this, the attitude of the head of the Ye family was somewhat relaxed.
”I found that this guest room needs to be cleaned up. You two young friends may be a little tired after coming from afar. Why don’t you follow me to the main hall to rest first.”
Gu Sheng said nothing, turned his head to look at Jiang Yun and waited for his reply.
Jiang Yun made a gesture of invitation: “Then I will trouble you, head of the Ye family.”
——On the way, the head of the Ye family quietly inquired about the identities of the two.
”I wonder what your names are, how old are you, and who is your master?”
”Jiang Yun.” Facing the other party’s undisguised “inquiring about the details”, Jiang Yun raised his eyes and used his real name.
”Only… eighteen.”
He was not afraid that the head of the Ye family would investigate him privately. After all, Jiang Yun had been an orphan since he could remember, and the only “close” person around him was Lu Li besides Gu Sheng.
A young casual cultivator with no master, why would he need to investigate?
After saying that, Jiang Yun held Gu Sheng’s hand, interrupting his thoughts, and said:
”This is Gu Sheng.”
Gu Sheng blinked, and gave up the idea of using a fake name to perfunctorily deal with the head of the Ye family.
After saying Gu Sheng’s name, Jiang Yun stared at the head of the Ye family in silence, and there was no further news.
The head of the Ye family remained silent in response, and after a while, he smiled and said: “You two are so brave at such a young age, you are really young and promising.”
Although he didn’t know Gu Sheng’s age, from the looks of the two, they should not be much different. The head of the Ye family laughed and reached out to pat Jiang Yun’s shoulder, but the other party cleverly avoided it.
The arm stayed awkwardly in the air for a moment, the smile on the head of the Ye family’s face paused, and his steps quickened a little.
He thought to himself.
The other party is really very noble, making him think…
That’s it.
Be patient, it’s not the time yet.
The head of the Ye family quickly led the two to the main hall of the Ye family and sat down at the main seat.
The attendant who followed closely behind him handed a bag of money to the other party. After the head of the Ye family took it, he indicated to Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun that they could do whatever they wanted. But it seemed that he did it on purpose. In addition to the main seat, there was only one sofa left in the main hall for Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun to sit on.
It was a single sofa.
The head of the Ye family would not fail to realize that this was disrespectful to the guests.
”What do you mean, head of the Ye family?”
Gu Sheng had no patience. As soon as he questioned the other party, he was covered by Jiang Yun’s hand and pressed down on the sofa.
The head of the Ye family pretended to be stupid: “What do you mean, young friend? There are more than one place in the main hall where you can…” sit.
”Plop!”
Before the other party finished speaking, his body suddenly shook, and within a few seconds, the sofa under him broke into two halves.
The money bag accidentally slipped out of his hand and flew to the position of Jiang Yun and the other party.
Beside Gu Sheng, Jiang Yun rubbed his fingers slowly, thinking that the quality of the sofa in the Ye family was also average.
”Sit down.” Gu Sheng wanted to get up and watch the other party’s embarrassment, but was forcibly pressed down by Jiang Yun.
”Is this part of the reward that Patriarch Ye prepared in advance?”
The purse fell into Jiang Yun’s hands, and he took it and bowed to Patriarch Ye in a formal manner.
”Then I would like to thank Patriarch Ye in advance.”
Patriarch Ye: I can’t help it.
”Please tell me what happened in the Ye family.”
Patriarch Ye can’t help it again, and after taking a deep breath, he said:
”There is a female ghost living in my house.”
”Whenever night falls, she will sneak around in the house at will. I am troubled by this every night. Over time, I have nightmares.”
”I’ve asked you two to catch this female ghost for me.” When the other party said this, he glanced at the money bag in Jiang Yun’s hand that he had originally intended to use as a bargaining chip, and gritted his teeth:
”After catching it, there will be a generous reward.”
After that, the head of the Ye family did not want to stay any longer, and turned and walked away from the main hall.
After the other party’s back disappeared from his sight, Jiang Yun put his hand on Gu Sheng’s shoulder, tilted his head slightly, looked at the other party with blue eyes, and pretended to think:
”Shengsheng, where do you think the female ghost will be?”
Shengsheng did not reply for a while, shocked by Jiang Yun’s address.
”I… I don’t know.”
”Really.”
Jiang Yun’s expression did not change, he pulled the other party up from the sofa, and led him to the door.
”Then let’s go first.”
Gu Sheng let Jiang Yun pull him, and asked as he walked: “Where are you going, boss?”
Jiang Yun’s tone was light, and he threw the “reward” that he “robbed” from the head of the Ye family in his hand.
”Go to the street to buy you a set of suitable clothes to wear.”
