"Don't try to scare me with your gangster aura. This is not a place for you to cause trouble!"

The waiter spoke in a timid voice and Gu Sheng sneered softly.

"A waiter in a clothing store dares to bully others like this. I think you don't want to keep your shop open anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng turned his wrist, his eyes changed, and a ray of divine power immediately flew out from his hand and wrapped around the waiter's neck like a snake!

As Gu Sheng hooked his hand back, the waiter's eyes immediately widened.

In just a few seconds, his face turned pale and blue, his eyes bulged out, and his hands struggled desperately, but he could not pull the invisible string that was strangling his neck!

Seeing him like this, Lan Yao felt extremely relieved.

"It's right! Gu Sheng should take action against arrogant people like you! Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper, get out here!"

Lan Yao shouted loudly, and the others followed suit.

Gu Sheng loosened his grip slightly, but it only made the waiter feel a little better and he did not let him go.

Perhaps because they made too much noise, a woman in blue soon walked out from behind the shop.

Seeing the waiter's embarrassed look, her expression changed.

"What are you doing, gentlemen? Bullying my people in my store is a bit too much."

Hearing the woman's words, Gu Sheng curled his lips coldly.

"Your people look down on us and speak rudely to us right away. Is this how your store treats its customers?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao nodded vigorously.

"Yes, we just wanted to take a look at the dress, but he was so rude. Not only did he belittle us everywhere, he also said we were worthless. We didn't kill him, which was already a great favor to you!"

"So, the shopkeeper still wants to protect his men?"

After Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said this, the woman looked at her subordinates coldly.

"Is what they say true? Is this how you treat customers in my store?"

Hearing her question, the waiter broke out in sweat, but his life was still in Gu Sheng's hands, and he had a lot to say but couldn't utter a word.

Noticing his condition, the shopkeeper looked at Gu Sheng.

"I wonder if you could let him go first and let him explain the matter clearly."

Gu Sheng flicked his wrist and withdrew his magical power. The waiter was immediately thrown out. He lay on the ground in a mess, covering his throat and coughing.

Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper stepped forward and kicked him.

"Don't pretend with me here, talk!"

After being kicked, the waiter hugged her feet.

"Boss, I am wronged. As soon as these people came in, they took a fancy to the most expensive garments in our shop and even took them down to touch and look at them. You can tell from their poor appearance that they are just ordinary people. How can I give them such expensive garments?"

Hearing his words, Gu Sheng sneered.

"And then what? You ask us to pay first before we are eligible to see the dress? Is this the way your store treats customers?"

After saying that, Gu Sheng set his gaze on the shopkeeper's face.

"Boss, is this how you instruct your subordinates to do things?"

After being asked this by Gu Sheng, the shopkeeper felt ashamed. He got angry and kicked the waiter in the stomach.

She didn't hold back her strength, and the waiter was not prepared either, so she kicked him so hard that he vomited blood.

However, the shopkeeper did not intend to let him go. He stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and slapped him hard.

"When did it become your turn to have the final say in my shop? You are a lowly person, and after working here for so long, you have learned to bully others. Who gave you the qualifications? You dare to slander my shop like this, get out of here today!"

After she slapped the waiter a few times, his face was swollen like a pig's head and covered in blood, making people not want to look at him a second time.

But even so, he kept begging for mercy and didn't want to leave.

The shopkeeper seemed a little annoyed and called his men to throw him out.

After the shop was quiet, before the shopkeeper had time to come back to speak, another person came hurriedly and said something in her ear.

After hearing what her subordinates said, her face changed slightly and she said something in a low voice.

At this time, Luo Chuan suddenly whispered: "The man who just came has the aura of Shengya Layman, and it seems... there is also the aura of King Luo, but the aura is too weak, I can't feel it clearly."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng and others looked at each other.

They never expected to hear news about Master Shengya as soon as they arrived in Pingcheng.

Soon, the people around the shopkeeper left, and she walked towards them again with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, everyone. My subordinates were ignorant and rude to you. So, I will pay for whatever you want today. How about that?"

"No need, we can afford to pay for the things we buy."

After Lan Yao finished speaking, the shopkeeper smiled guiltily.

"You guys should give me a chance to apologize."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"If the shopkeeper wants to apologize, why not tell us some news?"

"News? What do you want to know? We are a small shop, so we may not be able to provide you with the news you want."

Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Gu Sheng smiled.

"The shopkeeper can run such a big shop by himself, so he must be quite capable. The news we want to know should not be difficult for the shopkeeper."

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know the purpose of some people who shouldn't be here."

After saying this, Gu Sheng shook his sleeves, and a breath of air flew out of his sleeves.

Gu Sheng was not sure whether she was Master Shengya's person, so when he released his aura, he deliberately mixed some of Master Wushuang's aura into Master Shengya's.

Sure enough, after sensing the breath, the shopkeeper's face changed again and again, and it took a long time before it stabilized.

She looked Gu Sheng up and down, as if she wanted to see through him.

It could only be that Gu Sheng was an old and shrewd man. Facing her gaze, his expression never changed, so she couldn't tell anything.

The shopkeeper was defeated, and after thinking it over, he said, "Dear guests, how about we move to another place?"

After Gu Sheng nodded, she closed the shop and walked to the back with a few people.

Along the way, Gu Sheng kept looking around.

When passing by a secret room, he looked sideways and found that there were many scarecrows in the room, and there were talismans on the scarecrows!

The moment he hooked his wrist, he clearly felt the breath of Master Shengya!

The silver needles on the scarecrow were flashing coldly, and it was obvious that it was being targeted!

When Gu Sheng wanted to take a closer look, the shopkeeper seemed to sense something and quickly raised his hand and closed the door. He said in a panic, "No one usually uses that room. Let's go to the back to talk."

After saying that, she stopped walking in front of them by herself and walked forward while staring at them.

While she was looking back, Luo Chuan quickly approached Gu Sheng and whispered, "Brother Sheng, there is the aura of King Luo in that room, and it is very strong and strange."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and everything became clear in his mind.

It seems that the place they randomly found was the right one, and it really seemed like God’s help.

After making up his mind, Gu Sheng stopped looking around and quickly followed.

In the yard, everyone sat opposite each other, and the shopkeeper spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, which sects are you from? What is your purpose in coming here?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng said, "We are from Mirror Gate. You should be able to guess the purpose of our trip."

Gu Sheng didn't say it directly, but the shopkeeper had already guessed it.

Because she had just felt the aura released by Gu Sheng, she could guess something from the aura.

"I don't like beating around the bush. I'll just say it straight. If you're here for Master Shengya, I can give you some information. Of course, the premise is that you have to stand on my side. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing the tentative tone in her words, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Now he knew that the shopkeeper was an enemy of Mr. Shengya, but the shopkeeper didn't know what his position was, so it was normal for him to test him in his words.

"Don't worry, our purpose is the same as yours. After all, we are from the Mirror Gate and we would never do anything that would harm the martial arts world. The purpose of our trip is to stop others from doing anything that would harm the martial arts world."

As he spoke, Gu Sheng intentionally or unintentionally took out the token of the Mirror Door and the aura of Master Wushuang.

The shopkeeper sensed something and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It seems that we are acquainted after fighting. This is the first time I have encountered the aura I want to encounter in all my years of wandering the world. It is a great honor for me to meet you."

After several attempts, the two sides finally confirmed each other's identity and position, and the atmosphere unconsciously became better.

When they were talking about business, the shopkeeper suddenly took out a jade pendant.

"This is my master's jade pendant. He followed Master Wushuang many years ago. Before he passed away, he told me that Master Wushuang must be there. If we encounter Master Wushuang and her subordinates, we must cooperate and support them unconditionally. If you have a token in your hand, we can have a deeper chat."

Knowing that this was her last test, Gu Sheng directly took out something that Master Wushuang had given him.

After feeling the strong smell and seeing the things with his own eyes, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately became red.

"My master has been looking for this thing for many years, but he didn't see it before he died. I didn't expect that I would have the honor to meet you in this life. From today on, I will cooperate with you unconditionally. Killing Master Shengya is our common goal!"

Looking at her, Hongmei asked curiously, "Who is your master?"

"My master is Wufang."

Hearing this, Hongmei's expression changed, and then she immediately returned the greeting.

The shopkeeper was obviously surprised to see the gift she returned.

"Are you the disciple of Master Wushuang?"

"Exactly. I didn't expect you to be Elder Wufang's disciple."

After confirming their identities again, everyone felt relieved.

After looking around the shop, Gu Sheng said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, your shop is just a decoy."

"Yes and no, because I will be transferring a lot of information here, so I need something to cover it up, but I also need to use the shop to support myself and my subordinates, so yes and no."

Understanding what it meant, Gu Sheng nodded.

"It's really amazing that a woman like you can support such a large industry."

"In fact, half of these things were built by my master. Now I am just living with my master's will. My master called me Little Orchid, you can just call me Orchid. This is the information my subordinates found out. Master Shengya went to King Luo today, and the two of them planned this matter together."

Knowing that the two of them had come together to plan again, Gu Sheng couldn't help but frown and reached out to take the thing in her hand.

After looking at it carefully, her face turned completely cold.

"They spent so much money recruiting soldiers just to build a deadly army?"

"Yes, in fact, they have already trained a batch before, but we don't know where they are hidden, and they have never been used. Now they have experienced several battles and are always at a disadvantage, so they spent a huge amount of money to raise a new batch. I think it should be because they are short of manpower, so they have to train again."

"You are right, because we were the ones who killed their men."

Hearing this, Lanhua was obviously surprised.

"You mean you killed Shengya's people? You actually killed her people? Did you kill the evil demons too?"

"That's right. Both the evil demon and the two white ghosts died in our hands. Before coming to you, we had just destroyed the Fanzi Sect. We thought that there were not many people left on the side of Shengya Lay Buddhist, but we didn't expect that she had trained another group."

Upon learning that it was Gu Sheng and his men who destroyed most of Shengya Lay Buddhist's men, Lanhua immediately stood in awe.

"I didn't expect that Wushuang Layman's people are so powerful. No wonder my master has admired them all his life. In fact, Shengya Layman can do whatever he wants in Pingcheng because he has the support of King Luo. King Luo is powerful and has joined forces with Shengya Layman. He protects her and strengthens her strength, and she uses this strength to protect his position, so he can rise to prominence. If you want to really get rid of Shengya Layman, King Luo can't let him stay."

After she finished speaking, Gu Sheng nodded.

"We know, that's why we came here. Who is in charge of King Luo? He has a special status, so he shouldn't do everything himself, right? Does he have a sect under him?"

"You guessed correctly. King Luo has a Qingcheng Sect under his command. It is also well-known in the martial arts world. On the surface, Luo Qin is in charge, but in fact, the person behind the scenes is King Luo."

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Gu Sheng turned and looked at Luo Chuan.

"Who is Luo Qin?"

"He is the youngest son of King Luo, and also the bastard born to that woman! He was brought back to the palace when he was two years old. King Luo has always felt guilty, so he favors him in everything. He even ignores his eldest son and gives all the benefits to this bastard, just to win the favor of that woman!"

Hearing Luo Chuan's gritting teeth words, Gu Sheng understood what was going on.

Thinking this way, that woman must have a very high status in the heart of King Luo, otherwise his son would not be so valued, and even his status and position would exceed that of King Luo's legitimate son. (End of this chapter)
