"Then did your Excellency believe Gu An's reasons?"
Yan Jincheng rubbed his chin: "Who knows, it may be true or false, but it doesn't matter. As long as Gu An solves Yue Lang's matter, we will always benefit.
Due to Yue Lang's status, it is indeed difficult for us to do this. After all, I am a gentle and elegant Yan Jincheng.
When the time comes, all we need to do is publish a notice throughout the county that we and the Ping'an County Town Evil Division are friendly and assisting each other.
Sixteen-year-old Xiaoqi, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
…
While walking on the way to the headquarters of the Casual Cultivator Alliance in Chichi County, Gu An couldn't help but think of Yan Jincheng's expression just now.
He always seems to have a warm smile on his face, but there is a fierceness hidden underneath.
When he said that he would invite Yue Lang for routine questioning, he still had that smile on his face.
He is gentle and elegant, and loves painting...it seems that they are all used to hide his inner feelings.
Soon, following Dai Hongtu, Gu An arrived at the headquarters of the Loose Cultivators Alliance in Chichi County.
The Suppressing Evil Division made a big fanfare, so many people came to the Loose Cultivators Alliance, and they also attracted the attention of many people along the way.
Dai Hongtu, as a small bannerman of the Suppressing Evil Division, is also a celebrity in Chichi County.
All the onlookers who came outside the door stayed away. Even so, they still stood together and whispered.
"With so many people coming from the Evil Suppression Department, is it possible that one of the casual cultivators committed a crime?"
"Have you ever seen ordinary casual cultivators commit crimes, and so many people come here? Dai Xiaoqi even comes. Although I don't recognize the guy next to him, judging from his clothes, he is also Xiaoqi.
With two Xiaoqi and so many team members dispatched at one time, I am afraid that there is something wrong with someone at the top of the casual cultivator alliance."
"..."
Before Gu An and Dai Hongtu entered the lobby of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the somewhat noisy service hall had already quieted down.
"tread!"
Gu An stepped in, looked around with his hands behind his back, and frowned.
There is indeed a faint smell of blood in the air, which is exactly the same as the one in Huang Qing's bottle.
Dai Hongtu saw this and said softly: "What did Gu Xiaoqi discover?"
Gu An said: "It does smell like blood."
At this time, the counter clerk in the service hall quickly came to Gu An and Dai Hongtu, and said with a smile: "Dai Xiaoqi, this...is this?"
"Gu An, Gu Xiaoqi, a small flag from the evil department of Ping'an County."
The steward works in this office hall and deals with various casual cultivators every day, so his response ability is naturally very strong.
Hearing Dai Hongtu's introduction, he was stunned for just a moment. Regardless of Gu An's age, he immediately raised his hands and said, "It turns out that it was Gu Xiaoqi who was disrespectful and disrespectful.
I have been in Chichi County and have never been to Ping'an County. I apologize for not recognizing him immediately."
Gu An said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I have just taken office not long ago. Even if you have been to Ping'an County, you may not be able to recognize me."
The steward smiled awkwardly and looked past Gu An and Dai Hongtu at the ten regular team members behind them: "Dai Xiaoqi and Gu Xiaoqi, why are you bringing so many people here?"
Dai Hongtu glanced at Gu An, then turned to look at the people in the Loose Cultivator Alliance who were still in the hall: "Is Elder Zhao here?"
"Here, I'll go right away..."
Before the steward finished speaking, he heard a strong voice coming from behind.
"No need, I'll come here myself."
An old man with a goatee and a thin face slowly came down the stairs.
Five breaths later, they arrived in front of Gu An.
"Wear a small flag."
He cupped his hands slightly towards Dai Hongtu, and then looked at Gu An after meeting him.
"Gu Xiaoqi from Ping'an County Town Evil Division, how old is Gu Xiaoqi?"
Gu An said calmly: "Two and a half months ago, I just turned sixteen."
As soon as Gu An said these words, the whole place fell into silence.
After taking a deep look at Gu An, Zhao Zhengming said: "Gu Xiaoqi, what a talent."
Gu An pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you, Elder Zhao."
"This elder would like to know why you two directly led people to break into our casual cultivator alliance?"
Dai Hongtu naturally took half a step back and placed Gu An in the center.
This gesture made Zhao Zhengming stunned.
He originally thought that Gu An was just here to watch the excitement or to study or something, but now Dai Hongtu's actions showed that Gu An was the real owner.
Gu An didn't care about Dai Hongtu's little moves, looked at Zhao Zhengming and said with a smile: "I want to talk to Elder Yue Langyue of your alliance about some things."
"Elder Yue?"
"Yes, I wonder if I can ask Elder Yue to come out?"
Zhao Zhengming let out a breath: "Gu Xiaoqi didn't know something. Elder Yue had some insights five days ago and has gone into seclusion."
Five days ago, based on what Huang Qing said, it happened to be the day for his departure... Gu An thought silently.
"Really, this is really unfortunate." Gu An walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and slowly said: "It's my first time to come to Chichi County, and I don't know that Elder Zhao and you, the casual cultivators in Chichi County, are here.
alliance.
How is it different from the one in Ping'an County? I wonder if Elder Zhao would allow me to visit it."
Zhao Zhengming was silent for a moment, glanced at Dai Hongtu, and then looked at Gu An: "Of course you can, why don't I, the elder, accompany Gu Xiaoqi to visit."
"Excuse me, Elder Zhao."
"It doesn't matter, I happen to be fine, elder."
With that said, Zhao Zhengming stepped forward and walked alongside Gu An. Dai Hongtu waved his hand when he saw this, and the ten team members behind him quickly followed.
Zhao Zhengming walked forward while introducing the internal structure of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to Gu An.
But while walking, when he came to the backyard, Zhao Zhengming found that Gu An suddenly stopped and looked at a courtyard.
"Elder Zhao, does this courtyard belong to Elder Yue?"
Hearing Gu An's question, Zhao Zhengming frowned: "Yes, how did Gu Xiaoqi know about it?"
"Haha, it's nothing, it just smells rather strong."
With that said, without waiting for Zhao Zhengming to respond, Gu An had already pushed open the half-open courtyard door and entered.
Zhao Zhengming's expression changed and he stepped to follow.
A young man who was pounding herbs in the yard saw someone coming in. He was about to ask, but he saw Gu An's clothes.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he suppressed the panic in his heart. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Zhengming who came in from behind and said, "Elder Zhao, are these two adults from the Suppression of Evil Department here?"
"This is Elder Yue's second disciple, Zhang Hai." Zhao Zhengming said, "You should have seen Dai Xiaoqi. This is Gu Xiaoqi from the Zhenxie Division of Ping'an County. I brought them here to visit."
Hearing this, Zhang Hai felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was a visit...
Zhang Hai, who felt much relieved, immediately raised his hands and said, "I've seen Dai Xiaoqi, Gu Xiao...qi!"
As he spoke, Zhang Hai suddenly noticed that Gu An came up to him and smelled him, so that Zhang Hai's voice trembled with fright.
"The taste is a bit bland, I guess I just practiced it a while ago."
Gu An raised his head and looked at the room behind him under Zhang Hai's frightened eyes.
The smell of blood suddenly decreased a lot. Are you using this blood energy to practice?
"Dai Xiaoqi, prepare to take out some new clothes from my baggage."
