Gu Yue was so frightened that his heart stopped beating.

Shi San and Wu Feng protected Gu Yue and Gu Xu almost at the same time, with the daggers in their hands already unsheathed.

The man holding the lantern was a man in dark Taoist clothes. Seeing everyone pointing swords at each other, the Taoist was not particularly panicked, and his expression did not change.

"Please come this way." The Taoist priest stretched out his hand in a normal manner, asking everyone to move over.

Gu Yue and several guards looked at Gu Xu at the same time.

Gu Yue felt that the person who came to them at this moment would not be an ordinary person, but the male protagonist's attitude came first in everything.

Sure enough, Gu Xu nodded after just a moment's thought. Wu Feng and Shi San put away their swords, and Wu Yun still stayed behind, following the Taoist priest towards the row of bungalows.

The Taoist priest opened the door of the innermost room and let them in, then closed the door and left.

Five people stood in the dark, and no one spoke first.

Gu Yue, on the other hand, was casual. He bent down to take a closer look, found a low couch, and sat down on it. Seeing his relaxed attitude, the others were no longer so vigilant. They put away their weapons, Wu Feng and Wu Yun sat on the ground, and Shi San still stood there, motionless.

About a quarter of an hour later, there were chaotic footsteps outside. A bright light shone through the paper pasted on the window, and it seemed that many people had come and were standing in the yard in a disorderly manner.

Gu Yue was not worried at all that the Taoist priest would betray them. He pulled Gu Xu over with the help of the light and carefully checked if he was injured. The arrows that just broke through the air really scared him. Fortunately, he had the aura of the protagonist, which allowed him to pull Gu Xu in such an urgent moment.

The man with a rough voice outside was talking, but it was too far away to hear clearly. Another voice asked and answered questions, and the conversation continued for a while. The footsteps started again, but gradually faded away. The lantern light outside the window paper also dimmed, and the room became dark again.

Gu Xu was not injured, but there were some small scratches on his face caused by branches and leaves. Gu Yue was heartbroken and carefully blew away the dirt and grass debris around the wound.

What if such a beautiful face was disfigured?

Touching the account book tied to his body, and finding it steady, Gu Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

The operation was successful! And with the participation of cannon fodder, everyone was able to pass the level without any injuries. It was really cool.

Only then did Gu Yue feel his legs go weak.

Gu Xu was carefully touched by him, and her face turned red. She waved away Gu Yue's hand without knowing why, and looked towards the door. The shadow holding the lantern was gradually approaching.

The door was knocked, and then pushed open. The Taoist priest, who looked to be about 30 years old, walked in and lit the oil lamp in the room with a fire stick in his hand. The light illuminated five faces still covered with scarves. They all looked like bad people.

This Taoist priest had his hair and trouser legs tied up, looking capable and neat, a bit like Wang Ye in some cartoon.

Therefore, Gu Yue felt that this person was definitely not simple.

Still look familiar?

"You all should settle down here tonight. The main road down the mountain is blocked by the guards of Jiaoyuan, so it will be safer to leave during the day." said the Taoist priest.

Gu Xu would not take the lead in this situation where the enemy and us were unclear, so Gu Yue naturally took on the role of leader. He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, smiling, "Thank you for your help, Taoist priest. I wonder why you did this?"

The Taoist priest had a stern expression, and was not moved by Gu Yue's words: "The matter of Jiao Garden is against the harmony of heaven, and helping you is my duty."

Does he know what we did?

Gu Yue raised his guard: "I don't quite understand."

"This is the indication of the hexagram, and I am also following the way of heaven." The Taoist said. His eyes were fixed on Gu Yue for a long time, making Gu Yue feel uncomfortable; then he moved to Gu Xu's face, observed for a while, and frowned slightly.

Gu Xu hid behind Gu Yue for a while, not wanting to be seen in full.

"I have met you once, but it happened so much in advance." The Taoist suddenly said.

Gu Yue thought he was talking to him, but when he looked carefully, he saw that the Taoist's eyes were directed at Gu Xu behind him.

Not knowing the specific intention, Gu Yue hesitated for a moment and did not move away. Instead, he still held Gu Xu firmly behind him.

No one in the room responded, and the Taoist priest didn't think anything of it. He continued, "If you don't want to reveal your true face, I can't predict your fate. Is this your choice?"

"I don't need anyone to tell me what to do." Gu Xu said calmly.

"Well, you are carrying a destiny, and I can't completely calculate it. I can only tell you one thing: when you have to make a decision, you must think carefully and be cautious."

"Thank you." Gu Xu nodded.

What does it mean? Gu Yue was anxious. It was a classic riddler segment. Every time he saw something like a prophecy in a novel, he wanted to rush up and grab the collars of those experts and ask them to explain it clearly.

Since it's advice, please explain it to me clearly!

"What do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Gu Yue felt that this kind of opportunity to really travel through time and encounter the Riddler was rare, and he had to get it out!

"..." The Taoist looked at Gu Yue. Gu Yue could sense a strong sense of speechlessness from his eyes.

"Maybe it's to make me choose carefully." Gu Xu answered for him, "I will."

Gu Yue thought to himself, of course I know! What to choose? Who to support as the emperor? The prince! Is this a hint to choose the prince carefully? No, no, up to now, Gu Xu has not had any deep connection with the prince. Maybe he is trying to persuade him to choose the prince as soon as possible?

Why hasn't Gu Xu met the prince yet? Is it because of the appearance of this cannon fodder? Yes, he was suspicious before, which probably made Gu Xu suspicious, so he didn't form an alliance with the prince for the time being. As long as he showed the prince's kindness and kindness, plus the two Wumen secret guards around the prince, this thing should be able to succeed, right?

Gu Yue is nervous!

The protagonist must go through some tests, and Gu Yue is worried that Gu Xu will not be able to overcome some difficulties without the help of the prince.

He firmly believed in the Taoist's words that he "carried a destiny". The protagonist was the son of destiny for the world, and didn't the entire plot revolve around him?

Gu Yue thought the Taoist priest had finished talking and was about to leave. He was thinking about his next move. But he didn't expect the Taoist priest to look at him again and said, "My dear friend, please follow me."

Gu Yue looked around, then pointed at himself: "Me?"

"...Yes." The Taoist nodded.

What are you going to do? Kill people to silence them? Impossible. He'll just be cannon fodder.

However, this Taoist priest was able to calculate that Gu Xu was a special person with a destiny. Maybe he could also tell that he was a time traveler?

Is there any golden finger for me?

Gu Yue suddenly became excited.

He hurriedly followed, and did not forget to turn around and tell the remaining four people: "Wait for me here, I will be back soon."

The Taoist turned and walked out of the room, and Gu Yue followed happily.
