Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Just when Gu Chan was feeling guilty, someone suddenly knocked on the door from outside.

Gu Chan quickly shouted, "Who is it?"

"Manager Gu, someone is waiting for you in the lobby downstairs. They say he's from the Seven Stars Sect." The waiter said at the door.

Gu Chan just seized this opportunity and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go down and meet the people from the Seven Stars Sect."

The five people nodded in unison.

Gu Chan quickly stood up and rushed out, walking downstairs.

As soon as she left, Cheng Hao stared at Ma Zheng and said, "You've been with the shopkeeper for so long, what's his situation?"

"You're overthinking it. The boss is a man, and I've slept with him before, how could I not know that? And when we were at the border, we even took a bath in a lake! We were just a short distance away from peeing." Ma Zheng said with a grin.

The doubts of Cheng Hao and the other three were instantly dispelled.

At this moment, they could only think that Nangong Jin had a problem with his brain, otherwise who would do such a thing.

In the lobby downstairs.

When Gu Chan came down, she looked up and saw Bai Zhuo sitting at a table by the window on the right.

She immediately walked over, sat across from him and said, "Why are you looking for me so late at night?"

"Our leader would like to invite you to the Seven Stars Gate for a chat." Bai Zhuo said.

Gu Chan tilted her head to look out the window, her expression becoming embarrassed.

Bai Zhuo asked in confusion, "By the way, when I first came in, I saw ten guards from the Xianwang Mansion guarding outside. They said that the young prince will come here tomorrow to marry the young princess. You also live here. Have you seen the young princess? What does she look like?"

"Don't mention it. The one that lunatic wanted to marry was me. It was because I was in Zhaixing Pavilion during the day and I answered the couplet he gave me. Then he said that the immortals would point the way for me and insisted on marrying me." Gu Chan said with an awkward smile.

"Hahaha……"

Bai Zhuo was stunned at first, then he opened his mouth and burst into laughter.

At this moment, he seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

Gu Chan drank her tea with her head down feeling guilty, not daring to say anything more about it, for fear that her identity as a woman would be exposed.

After laughing for a while, Bai Zhuo finally stopped laughing and said, "Who told you to provoke that little prince? In our South City, everyone knows that he is born sickly and unlucky with women. He talks nonsense every day. If you provoke him, he will do anything weird."

"By the way, I heard that someone was taken into the mansion by him before, and when he came out, he was tortured beyond recognition. What on earth happened?" Gu Chan asked curiously.

"Just listen to their nonsense. Those people are the most heinous criminals in South City. It's normal for the young prince to bring them into the mansion to give them a good beating, or even kill them. It's just that he didn't make it public. Over time, people spread rumors that he has a special hobby and loves to torture people. But in fact, everyone who knows the situation knows that he is punishing the wicked." Bai Zhuo explained the situation clearly.

Gu Chan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she changed her opinion of Nangong Jin.

From the time she met him in the daytime until now, she had always felt that the little prince of Nancheng was either a mental patient or had special hobbies. But judging from the current situation, she was afraid that she had underestimated him.

And now think about it carefully, if he really did something that was against the will of heaven and earth, would King Nanxian turn a blind eye and allow his son to act so recklessly?

Furthermore, during the daytime at the Zhaixing Pavilion, whether it was the twenty or so scholars or those who were watching the excitement, they were not afraid of Nangong Jin. Instead, they were willing to recite poems with him.

All these signs are enough to show that the young prince Nangong Jin definitely has two faces.

After understanding this, Gu Chan immediately reached out and touched her chin and muttered to herself, "It seems that this little prince is not as simple as he seems on the surface! I'm afraid I really have to escape tonight, otherwise when the wedding procession arrives at the Xianwang Mansion tomorrow, I will be forced to do it."

"If he wants to marry, just let him! If he likes to play, just play with him. Anyway, if he really marries you into the palace, everyone will laugh at you. King Nanxian might even turn around and declare your marriage invalid and adopt you as his godson. This is also a very normal thing." Bai Zhuo said with his hands spread out.

Gu Chan looked at him with disdain.

Why should she play with Nangong Jin?

She led the caravan all the way south this time, but she had her own mission and goals, and had no time to waste on such trivial matters.

Thinking of this, she changed the subject and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I will find a way myself. Go back and tell your leader that I will be there tonight."

"Ah? You're being watched so closely now, how can you go?" Bai Zhuo said in surprise.

After saying that, he tilted his head to look out the window, and seeing the guards outside standing guard tightly, he couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Chan said unhappily, "Don't worry about it, I have my own way."

"Okay! Then I'll go back to the sect and wait for you." Bai Zhuo said with a strange smile.

Then he immediately stood up, said goodbye to Gu Chan and left.

Gu Chan did not hesitate and hurried back to the room upstairs. She said to Cheng Hao and the other three, "Go and tell everyone to pack their bags. We will leave at midnight."

"Where are you going?" Cheng Hao asked.

"Someone from the Seven Stars Gate just said that their leader wanted to talk to me. It's a good opportunity for me to take the caravan to hide in the Seven Stars Gate first. I'm too lazy to play with that lunatic Nangong Jin!" Gu Chan said coldly.

Cheng Hao and the other three responded solemnly, and immediately went to each room as she said, instructing everyone to pack their bags and prepare to run away.

Gu Chan quietly activated her physical skills, summoned an illusory white mist, and peered out through the window. She then secretly controlled the white mist to slowly drift towards the ten guards guarding the inn, causing them to fall into an illusion.

In this way, the ten guards always thought that Gu Chan and others were still in the inn and had not left at all.

But in fact, after midnight, Gu Chan quietly found the shopkeeper to check out the room, paid the money, and then led everyone to sneak out through the back door and headed towards the Seven Star Mountain where the Seven Star Sect was located.

Early the next morning.

Just as Nangong Jin got up early to wash and pack, preparing to lead Ying Wu to Yuanlai Inn to pick up the bride, a guard ran into the room and reported to him, "It's bad, young prince, Manager Gu and his men ran away overnight."

"Didn't I tell you to watch him? How did he run away?" Nangong Jin asked calmly as he sat at the table.

"We suddenly became confused last night for some reason, and thought they were still in the inn. When we woke up in the morning, the shopkeeper told us that Manager Gu and his men had fled just after midnight. He had also asked the shopkeeper to help him look after the goods, so they didn't take any of the goods with them. They all ran away." The guard explained with a bitter face.

"Ha ha……"

Instead of getting angry, Nangong Jin started laughing strangely.

The subordinate stood in front of him with his head down. Seeing his moody look, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
