Chapter 113 As if there is no one around
Yu Sheng didn't say anything.

In her perception, in those dark corners that were out of her sight, there were fourteen auras of varying strengths hidden.

These fourteen people are obviously the Wan family's servants. The position they each occupy has a hidden meaning. As long as they take a few more steps, they can form a formation, and the restaurant is at the center of the formation.

From a certain perspective, the Wan family almost moved out half of their family assets in order to get Yu Sheng and Gu Zhuo to stay tonight.

Isn’t this also a kind of sincerity?
"I want to talk to you, too."

Yu Sheng's voice was very faint.

She looked at Gu Zhuo and asked softly, "Would you like a cup of tea to help digest the food?"

Gu Zhuo has no objection.

If you say you want to drink tea, then really drink tea.

Wan Shouyi whispered an order, and in a blink of an eye, the servants of the Wan family cleared out a place in the restaurant, placed tea sets and desks in it, and even laid a thick carpet to protect against the cool autumn night.

All these things happened in a moment, until the water in the iron kettle was boiled and then poured into the teapot to meet the tea leaves. The whole process took no more than half a quarter of an hour.

"I have something to ask you."

Yu Sheng spoke softly and poured two cups of hot tea for herself and Gu Zhuo.

When Wan Shouyi heard this sentence and looked at this detail, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

It was as if the person hosting the banquet tonight was not him, but this seemingly ordinary girl in a green dress.

He was silent and thoughtful for a while, but still couldn't sense the bluffing from it, so he nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Yu Sheng said calmly: "What did the Taoist master hide in Yunmengze?"

Wan Shouyi smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "Neither I nor the Wan family knows about this matter."

Yu Sheng didn't take it seriously and said casually, "But that thing made you determined to form an alliance with the evil heretics led by the Tianming Sect, and at the same time prevent the Tianjian Division from passing on information to the upper levels, and do your best to suppress the situation within a small area."

Wan Shouyi's smile became even more bitter. He sighed deeply and said, "If I understand correctly, your words are not an accusation, but a conclusion."

"Ah."

Yu Sheng said: "Yes, you can understand it that way."

When she said this, her tone was emotionless, just narration, so it was accurate.

Then, she looked at Gu Zhuo and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"let me see……"

Gu Zhuo looked at Wan Shouyi and asked with rare curiosity: "If nothing unexpected happened tonight, what would have happened to Chen Chi and the other three?"

There was silence in the room.

Even the sound of boiling tea disappeared.

Wan Shouyi's bitter smile is long gone.

His expression became very complicated. After being silent for an unknown period of time, he slowly said, "I don't know what you are talking about, so I can't give you the answer you want."

Even if it is clear, it can only be unclear.

Because these are facts that the Wan family cannot admit and answer.

"I can only interpret these words as a provocation."

Wan Shouyi looked at the two people sitting opposite him, shook his head and said, "Because no normal conversation in the world would go like this."

Having said that, this poor-looking big shot did not overturn the table in anger. Perhaps it was because he had suffered too much such anger in his daily life?

He then said, "I also have questions for you two."

Yu Sheng said nothing.

Gu Zhuo said: "Please speak."

Wan Shouyi asked, "Why are you two here?"

Gu Zhuo said: "I heard the news."

Wan Shouyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Since this was not an accidental encounter, then what happened tonight is related to you two?"

Gu Zhuo said: "Of course."

Having said this, Yu Sheng looked at him and thought that this was too honest.

Wan Shouyi continued to ask: "Are you two determined to get involved in this matter?"

Gu Zhuo was very patient and said, "Yes."

Wan Shouyi looked at him and said, "Is there no possibility of withdrawing?"

Gu Zhuo said: "No."

Wan Shouyi poured himself a cup of tea to calm his mind.

In fact, the conversation went much better than he expected.

Although Gu Zhuo was extremely stingy with his choice of words in every answer he gave, there was no ambiguity at all, and his words were as direct as the edge of a sword.

Wan Shouyi thought about this, put down his teacup, and said, "I have one last question."

Gu Zhuo waited quietly.

Wan Shouyi looked into his eyes and asked seriously, "I want to know who you are."

Unlike before, Gu Zhuo finally did not hold back with his words this time.

He asked back, "Are you sure?"

The moment the words fell, Wan Shouyi suddenly frowned, as if every previous word had turned into a sword edge, suddenly piercing into his heart of Tao, bringing endless chill.

Before he spoke, he always believed that he would not waver on this matter and could face all the answers calmly.

However, at the moment when the truth was about to come, as he and Gu Zhuo looked each other in the face, the confidence in his heart disappeared at an inexplicable speed and ceased to exist.

It's like winter snow exposed to the spring sun.

Wan Shouyi remained silent, but the struggle in his eyes could not be concealed.

"give up."

Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly, looked at him and said, "That's an answer you can't bear." There was an uproar in the audience.

The Wan family servants who had not yet left, the priests who were hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity, and even the Wan family children who had hurried over were all stunned by this sentence.

Gu Zhuo turned a deaf ear to it.

He took a sip of his hot tea as a farewell and stood up.

Yu Sheng followed him.

Under the gazes of countless people, the two walked out, as if they were in a leisurely garden.

Just when the Wan family priests hiding in the dark were about to step forward, Wan Shouyi suddenly raised his right hand to stop what was about to happen next.

Only after the two men disappeared at the end of the long street did the atmosphere in the room become a little more relaxed and no longer so depressing.

"why is that?"

A disciple of the Wan family couldn't help but ask.

Wan Shouyi didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fixed ahead, as if Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng had never really left.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally came to his senses. He sighed and said, "Of course it's because every word the man in black said was true."

The man frowned and said in confusion: "Since everything he said is true, why don't you ask him about his realm?"

Wan Shouyi was reluctant to give an answer because he thought it was a very stupid question.

But he was sure that most of the people present were stupid.

Whether it was because he was used to looking down on others, or because he had unreasonable absolute confidence in the Wan family, or for some other messy reason, he made such a stupid mistake.

In short, in his opinion, this group of people are really not smart enough.

"Because I asked."

Wan Shouyi said, "It was about whether what happened tonight was related to you two, and he answered yes."

The person who asked the question was a member of the Wan family. At this time, he had a general idea of ​​what happened in Yunmeng Ancient Lake, so he was even more confused.

“But isn’t it Xian Yishu who saved the person tonight?”

"…What about further ahead?"

Wan Shouyi finally couldn't help it anymore. He looked at his people as if they were idiots and asked expressionlessly, "Have you forgotten the wind that exposed everything under the moonlight and stars, and revealed everyone's true colors?"

There was an uproar in the room again.

Yes, the dramatic changes tonight were ultimately caused by that gust of wind, and everything else came from it.

However, the problem is that no one felt the slightest trace of Taoist aura in that gust of wind; everything seemed so natural.

It's like the natural rhythm between heaven and earth.

If that is really the Tao, what level of Taoism is it?
Therefore, many people have doubted the appearance of that gust of wind, but no one is willing to really think about it deeply because the truth is too terrible.

"Just as scary as the names of those two people."

Wan Shouyi was silent for a while, hiding the next sentence in his heart: "No, perhaps the names of those two are more terrifying."

……

……

Walking in the night breeze, Yu Sheng seemed to be lost in thought.

Gu Zhuo suddenly said, "Chen Chi must have been detained by the Wan family again. It's a bit miserable."

Yu Sheng came to his senses and asked, "Huh?"

Gu Zhuo said: "As long as he is not an idiot, he should have realized the moment the Wan family cleared the scene that someone in the Wan family wanted to cause trouble for you and me, and he had to take action after realizing this, otherwise he would not be able to explain himself."

Yu Sheng said: "Do you think what I did was wrong?"

Gu Zhuo hummed.

"Yes, or more accurately, inappropriate."

He said to Yu Sheng: "I think before you do anything now, you need to seriously consider what consequences your choice will bring to the people around you."

There is a deeper meaning behind these words.

Of course Yu Sheng understood.

This is just to make her get used to her current identity and not do things like what she did tonight again.

She then said: "You seem to have a lot of experience in this area."

This sentence also has a different meaning.

Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Because I know who I am, just like the poor-looking Wan family patriarch just now. Why did he let you and I leave in the end? It's because he knows his identity too well and is unwilling to directly bear the risk of knowing the truth."

Yu Sheng thought about it and said, "That makes sense."

Gu Zhuo said: "What I say always makes sense."

Yu Sheng asked: "What are you going to do next?"

After tonight, the Wan family might still stick to their current position, because cutting off one's arm is a very courageous act, but no matter what choice the head of the family makes, things will become more secretive.

In fact, Wanjia has been very successful in this regard.

Until this moment, they still hadn't left any clues pointing to themselves—not counting Wan Shoukang's attempt to plant a killing move in the two men's sea of ​​consciousness with the Heavenly Demon Dance.

Even this incident alone is enough to plunge the Wan family into an abyss of no return.

In short, it would be difficult to get more clues about the Taoist master's inheritance from the Wan family.

"Go and have a chat with those evil heretics."

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "After all, I am also half a member of the Tianming Sect."

　I don't know what I ate, but I had poop four times in two hours and my whole body was numb.

　　But I said yesterday that I would write two chapters, so I’ll just write them. The next chapter will be written very late, probably around five o’clock.
