The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

I have witnessed Gu Yi's ability.

Dugu Ao decided to trust this old friend's relative!

Fortunately, this is exactly what Gu Yi wants.

I agreed without much thought.

The fourth in command, who witnessed the whole process, just glanced at Gu Yi with a calm expression.

Didn't say much.

After that, it's crazy working hours.

During this period, Concubine Mu Ling did not leave on her own initiative.

No one drove her away, and she was happy to observe and learn from Gu Yi.

Logically speaking, Mu Lingfei, an outsider, should not interfere with these things close to the core of Xiaoyao Tower. However, considering that the eldest daughter of the Mu family, who has high attainments in martial arts, knows nothing about other things and is an absolute naive person, Shen Lingjiao thought about it and let her behavior go.

In other words, Miss Mu will not help.

It's impossible for her, the fourth in command, to help her cousin Qingshanke grind the inkstone?

But after all, he is an outsider, so we must be cautious and careful!

Things that touch upon the core of Xiaoyao Tower are handled personally by Shen Lingjiao and Dugu Ao, the two heads of Xiaoyao Tower. All other miscellaneous trivial matters are handed over to the hardworking and honest man Gu Yi. In fact, the work assigned to Gu Yi is even greater than that of Shen Lingjiao and Dugu Ao combined!

The core is the core because if it were as common as ordinary trivial matters, Xiaoyao Tower would have been completely figured out by the spies of the hostile forces and nothing would be left!

Two tables.

Shen Lingjiao and Dugu Ao sat at one table, while Gu Yi and Mu Lingfei sat at another.

The former worked hard and was full of resentment.

When the latter is busy, he actually has the leisure to drink tea and chat?

But Dugu Ao, who had to endure Shen Lingjiao's scolding from time to time, was very envious!

"Are all the businesses run by your Mu family in Xiaoyao Tower managed by you alone?"

While everyone else was busy, the leisurely Gu Yi took the time to speak to Mu Lingfei, who was staring at the side carefully, but her beautiful eyes revealed a clear and foolish look.

"This... is the truth."

Mu Lingfei said somewhat embarrassedly, "Business is still too difficult for me. I only visit the family-run restaurant occasionally and can't help at all."

"The Mu tribe only operates a restaurant in Xiaoyao Tower?"

Gu Yi asked curiously.

"No."

Concubine Mu Ling's cheeks flushed slightly.

"That means the elders in the family asked you to look after the restaurant."

Gu Yi continued to ask: "If there are people who seek to cause trouble, will they be suppressed by force?"

"No...nothing was assigned to me. All families cooperating with Xiaoyao Tower within its territory are basically protected by the building. If there are any troublemakers, law enforcement officers will come forward to punish them."

Mu Lingfei stuttered, but her little face became even hotter.

"If that's the case, then what are you doing in Xiaoyao Tower?"

"I didn't like staying in the clan, so I took the initiative to find an excuse to come to Xiaoyao Tower to look after the family business. But in fact, I... I just changed the place to practice."

"Oh I see."

Gu Yi showed a look of understanding.

But then he felt strange again, so he returned to the previous topic and asked the key point: "But, you just said that you occasionally go to the family-run restaurant to take a look."

"You don't need to do it yourself, why not indulge in the great Dao and practice wholeheartedly?"

It's strange. He admitted that he knew nothing about business. He came here under the pretext of looking after the family business, but he only visited the restaurant occasionally.

In the territory of Xiaoyao Tower, there are rarely any troublemakers.

Even if there are any, Xiaoyao Tower law enforcement officers will go out personally to suppress them.

Mu Lingfei can completely immerse her mind in cultivation.

Why bother?

"Because, eat...eat!"

When she said this, Mu Lingfei turned her head away in shame.

His ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.

Gu Yi's hand, which was holding the brush and writing, suddenly trembled and stopped. He looked up at Mu Lingfei, whose face was extremely blushing, and said hesitantly, "Because, eating?"

I remember that ten years ago, when the fourth brother made a scene at the Nanwu marriage venue, Miss Mu was already a cultivator at the Kaihai realm. Logically, with such a level of cultivation, she should have been practicing fasting. Could it be that the path of physical cultivation is different, and she needs to absorb external energy to replenish herself?

It seems that Ji Cang is also obsessed with eating and loves to eat and drink...

"Yes, that's why I eat."

Mu Lingfei rubbed her hands nervously.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt like a child in front of Brother Gu who seemed to know everything.

Everything he said and did was ridiculous.

As a monk, he actually visited the family-run restaurant again and again just for some worldly desires. If this got out, it would be so ridiculous.

"Miss Mu, have you not yet started fasting?"

"No, I'm just greedy."

Concubine Mu Ling was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look directly at Gu Yi.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide.

Laugh if you want to.

Anyway, that guy Gu Feiyao always mocks her by calling her "the greedy girl".

Really, why would the people of the Ancient Clan come to her Mu Clan's restaurant when they don't go to the teahouse run by the Ancient Clan? And he happened to catch her eating and drinking to her heart's content, her mouth full of grease...

"Really? Then it seems that Miss Mu is also a person with great fortune."

After saying that, Gu Yi got busy with the work at hand.

After that, I didn’t mention the issue of “eating” much.

Seeing this, Concubine Mu Ling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Is this gone?

The thing I worried about did not happen.

Not only did it fail to alleviate Concubine Mu Ling's inner embarrassment.

On the contrary, she felt a slight sense of loss.

It was as if I was being overly sentimental, but the other person didn't take it seriously at all.

"Can the phrase 'deep blessings' also be applied to me?"

"Of course, Miss Mu, there's no need to belittle yourself."

Gu Yi smiled and said, "As the saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing, and being good at eating is wisdom. Do you know what people called the last 'greedy girl' who couldn't resist the temptation of worldly delicacies?"

It turns out that Brother Gu also knows the "greedy girl" meme...

The last one who couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food...

Mu Lingfei's eyes lit up: "Brother Gu is talking about the Sword Lord!"

"Uh, pay attention to the questions. Sword Master is not a 'greedy girl'."

Gu Yi blushed for a moment, then continued, "I'm talking about the Ghost Eye Yaoyue from Wuli Mountain, who ascended to the other side after only twenty years of cultivation and was hailed by the world as 'the first person to achieve immortality.'"

"How can Ghost Eye Yaoyue be the first person to become an immortal?"

Mu Lingfei rolled her eyes, "Compared to the Sword Lord, Fairy Qingyue is still far behind!"

Ten years ago, Gu Yi learned from Mu Cuilan that Mu Lingfei had always regarded him as a goal to surpass. Unexpectedly, ten years later, her original intention remained unchanged.

It should be said that these words made him feel much more comfortable.

But the fact is the fact, the first person to become an immortal has long since changed hands.

Just like the title of being invincible.

It started with Thunder Lord, and then came Sword Lord.

"The Sword Master has long since retired. Now is the era of Ghost Eye Demon Moon."

Gu Yi smiled and said, "We must equally respect every senior on the path of cultivation. Compared to Ghost Eye Yaoyue, even that Sword Lord is slightly inferior."

"Brother Gu, you are wrong about one thing."

Why is this greedy girl so stubborn?

Although he feels very happy to be praised, but blindly praising him will only make him become too proud!

However, just when Gu Yi was happily waiting to be praised.

Mu Lingfei turned her gaze back to him, looked at him seriously, and said calmly: "Sword Lord is dead."

"He died ten years ago."

Miss Mu actually knew about this?

Gu Yi was slightly surprised.

Come to think of it, the Mu tribe is one of the two strongest tribes in Nanwu.

This matter was kept secret from others.

How could they hide it from the most outstanding genius of the Mu family in our time?

At this moment, Gu Yi suddenly thought of the purpose of his trip. Since Mu Lingfei was his... his number one fan girl in the past, she should know about the imposter, right?

Let’s just give it a try!

"But I heard that the Sword Master seems to have reappeared."

Gu Yi showed a puzzled expression, "This matter has been widely circulated in the Central Plains. Three months ago, when I passed by, I saw the back of the deity from afar."

"Don't tell me, it's quite similar to what was described in the rumors."

"Ah."

Mu Lingfei sneered, "If he is the Sword Lord, I might as well believe that the Sword Lord is you, Brother Gu."

"Ha, haha, Miss Mu, please stop joking."

Gu Yi laughed dryly and said to himself, "How could I be the Sword Lord?"

"That's according to what Brother Gu sees."

Mu Lingfei said with a serious expression, "Brother Gu, what makes you think that the imposter is the Sword Lord?"

"Uh, them, the same white clothes, with jade swords hanging around their waists."

Even though Gu Yi was the former Lord of the Sword, when he was asked to describe his own appearance, apart from these two points, he really knew what else there was.

"Well."

A white light flashed in Mu Lingfei's hand, and a flawless white jade sword appeared out of thin air. She held it in her hand and stuffed it into Gu Yi's thigh.

"White clothes, jade sword."

She raised her hand and gestured, "Brother Gu, you are now also a Sword Lord."

"Miss Mu, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Gu Yi said bitterly.

Please, he just woke up less than half a year ago, don't mess with him...

He probably doesn't want to spend his later years in obscurity...

"Regardless of what you said, white clothes and jade sword."

"I'm just short of words and can't find any other adjectives."

Gu Yi quickly returned the burning jade sword on his thigh to Mu Lingfei, forcing a smile and saying, "Miss Mu, there's no need to argue with me. It's not just me who thinks so; everyone feels the same way. I can even hear people shouting 'Long Live the Sword Lord' from a distance away."

"You're Brother Ye's cousin after all."

Perhaps the noise here was too loud, disturbing Shen Lingjiao next door. When she heard this, she interrupted with a look of disdain: "Old Gu died a long time ago!"

There is a flaw!

Gu Yi seized the opportunity and said, "But Fourth Master, this is not just what I saw, my cousin saw it too!"

Shen Lingjiao paused, turned around and asked in surprise: "Brother Ye saw it too?"

"good."

Gu Yi used his own words to explain what he and Ye Yongzhen saw and heard at that time.

After Shen Lingjiao listened patiently, she didn't wait for Gu Yi to ask about the fake sword master's true identity. She asked back, "What did Brother Ye do? Why didn't he catch him and beat him up?"

Could the "Brother Ye" mentioned by the Fourth Master be the man in green clothes?

Concubine Mu Ling pondered in her heart.

"No, my cousin was also stunned for a long time at that time."

Gu Yi shook his head, thinking that they were finally getting to the point. He took this opportunity to explain the purpose of his visit: "I don't know what my cousin is thinking, but he asked me to come to Xiaoyao Tower. First, to wish everyone in the House of Honor all the best on his behalf, and secondly, to inquire about the Sword Lord."

"Then he might miscalculate~"

Shen Lingjiao's voice was brisk, but it gave people a feeling of gloating: "Why didn't you catch him earlier or look for him later? Why did you send you here to question him after he escaped? That's a nice thought."

"Could it be..."

Gu Yi frowned slightly: "The Fourth Master also doesn't know the Sword Lord's origins?"

"I've known Zhen Jianjun for so many years, and I only found out about his death at the very end."

Over the years, Shen Lingjiao had long since accepted this fact. She said, "He's just a fake Sword Master, and he hasn't done anything harmful. I'm exhausted like a dog every day, so why would I bother with all that? Besides, he's just an imitator who looks similar. What's there to investigate?"

I'm afraid it's not just a matter of looking alike...

When they first met, even he, the former Sword King, was so shocked that he was speechless.

Gu Yi thought.

“Even without having to specifically investigate.”

Gu Yi still had some hope and asked, "With Xiaoyao Tower's strength, we can find out by just asking around, right?"

“If it was the Xiaoyao Tower in the past, let alone the origin of a mere fake Sword Lord.”

Shen Lingjiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying with a smile, "Even the Dragon Emperor far away in the Eastern Divine Region can tell you exactly what color underwear he's wearing today!"

"But I can't do that now~"

"Sharpshooter Yang Yi was caught writing in his diary. After a stern warning, he can no longer do that~"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi burst out laughing. If he remembered correctly, the sharpshooter Yang Yi from Qi Shi Mansion seemed to be a distant cousin of the second in command.

He is so brave that he commits a crime right under our noses.

"You are late."

At this time, Dugu Ao, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, his voice still listless and lifeless: "Xiaoyao Tower stopped doing intelligence business eight years ago."

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, I asked you to come to Xiaoyao Tower often when you have nothing to do..."

Shen Lingjiao continued to bury her head in her work, murmuring softly as if sighing, "When the previous Palace Master of the Flower Palace and more than half of the people in the Flower Palace forced Goddess Song to abdicate, you secretly assisted. Xiaoyao Tower was almost destroyed, but you didn't show up. And you still say you don't value love over friendship."

The sound is not loud, as thin as a mosquito or fly.

But it still couldn't escape Gu Yi's ears.

What does this mean...

Xiaoyao Tower stopped doing intelligence business eight years ago. Not only that, but with the chief leader who was at the level of unity of thoughts and the fourth leader who commanded the puppet army in charge, the entire place was almost wiped out?

It seems that apart from the disappearance of the second in command...

Xiaoyao Tower must have encountered some major incident!
