According to Old Man Wang, he had indeed seen the second in command traveling with the caravan ten years ago.

After all the bandits around him died of poison, the second in command found the poison master and told Old Man Wang that there was still a light in his eyes and he had the belief that he could not die here.

Good luck is a bit.

The most important thing is the belief in survival that supported him to come back from the gates of hell!

Maybe he thought Old Man Wang was interesting.

Instead of ending Old Man Wang's life, the second-in-command gave him a chance to repent and reform, and gave him some advice and taught him some business tricks.

After a long time, Old Man Wang turned to the good side and immersed himself in business for many years. Finally, his hard work paid off and he successfully reached a cooperation with Gucheng as a businessman.

The money earned...

In order to make up for his debt to his wife and children, as well as the sins he committed in the past, he took out half of the money to let his wife and children live a good life, and donated the other half to the poor people who were suffering from misery.

"My Lord said that since I was able to escape death, it means that I am not destined to die."

Old Man Wang expressed his true feelings and said sincerely: "I am very grateful to him!"

"For this reason, I have always adhered to my principles. No matter how much I earn, I always give half to help those who are deeply oppressed."

"Because I was once one of the oppressed people."

Old Man Wang sighed deeply and said, "Since then, I have tried countless times to find the master... no, the benefactor! I want to thank him in person!"

"I also know that people like me are destined to only be able to stand behind and look up at the benefactor's back."

He said with deep emotion: "Perhaps the kindness at that time was just a casual act of the benefactor, not worth mentioning at all, but for me, if it weren't for the benefactor, I wouldn't be who I am now."

The second brother has always been very accurate in judging people.

Gu Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Where did he go in the end?"

"Left with the poison master."

"I have no idea where exactly you are going, so please forgive me, Master."

Old man Wang didn't know whether the person in front of him was an enemy or a friend of his benefactor.

But for the sake of his family, he could only report the truth and dared not hide anything.

It can be seen that Old Man Wang did not lie.

Gu Yi frowned slightly.

He spent a full 80,000 spirit stones to get this information, and even traveled all the way from the Central Plains to Mobei for this purpose. Would the clues stop here?

Could the fall of Blood Wolf be related to the second brother?

Gu Yi quickly denied this conjecture.

The second in command disappeared ten years ago, and Blood Wolf was killed five years ago. Based on his understanding of Shanggu Zimo, even if he wanted to take revenge, it shouldn't have taken five years to do so.

What’s more, Xiaoyao Tower is Shangguan Zimo’s hard work.

If he were still alive, it would be impossible that he hadn't gone back to take a look in five years.

The blood wolf has been killed, and that’s all Old Man Wang knows.

Where should I start with the remaining clues...

Poisonous Gu...

Could it be that Blood Wolf’s guests are those evil cultivators who raise poisonous insects in the Black Magic Hall?

Gu Yi found the highlight from it.

In his impression, there are only two forces that can satisfy the two requirements of not fearing the revenge of Xiaoyao Tower and playing with Gu. One of them is Wu Lishan, one of the old first-class forces in the Central Plains.

The other one was the Black Demon Hall that was driven from the Snow Village to the desert by the Mingshen Sect.

It is unlikely that Wu Lishan would do that, as he does not have the motive.

There is no need to make enemies with Xiaoyao Tower.

The key point is that although he plays with Gu, he has no interest in iron puppets!

There is no reason to attack the Xiaoyao Tower caravan to steal the puppet refining parts.

But the Black Demon Hall is different. This hall and the Puppet Heart Hall are both one of the twelve halls of the Blood Alliance. The puppet refining parts that are robbed can be sold at a high price to the Puppet Heart Hall.

At least, the poison master caught by the second in command is definitely related to the Black Magic Hall!

Have an idea.

Gu Yi planned to go to the neighboring lonely city first to inquire about the news of the Black Magic Hall.

Gucheng is a big city and also the seat of a powerful force.

The overall strength may be a little bit weaker. If it were placed in the Central Plains, it would only be considered a second-rate force, but in the Western Heaven Region, it could barely be considered a first-rate force.

"Master, I can't raise that amount of money in a short time... Three days!"

Old Man Wang held up three fingers and said, "In just three days, I will definitely hand the money over to you!"

"A lot of money?"

Gu Junjun looked up at Gu Yi.

"A lot, a little more than what your fairy gave me."

Gu Yi replied casually.

"I go!"

Gu Junjun took a deep breath and was immediately shocked: "Isn't that rich!"

He knew the money might be a lot, but he didn't expect it to be so much!

How much did the fairy give you last time?

A full one hundred thousand plus spirit stones!

"You keep the money."

Gu Junjun:?

Old Man Wang:!

"Just consider it a small token of your thanks for the after-tea snack for your wife."

Gu Yi turned and walked outside.

Gu Junjun saw this.

First, he quickly glanced at Old Man Wang who was standing there in a daze.

Then trot to catch up.

From a distance, I could still hear the little guy's angry questioning.

"Why not? Don't feel bad about money, even if you feel bad about anyone!"

"Forget about ill-gotten gains."

"What do you mean by ill-gotten gains? That's not something you won honestly... Oh! I get it!"

The sound faded away.

It took a long time for Old Man Wang to come back to his senses.

Is this the end?

Madam's after-tea dessert...

Perhaps what the immortal master said is right. It is common for couples to quarrel. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Only with more patience and tolerance can they live together for a long time.

As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace!

After meeting Old Man Wang, Da Gu and Xiao Gu moved to the isolated city next door.

This is an isolated city in the desert that is comparable to Bailian City in terms of both buildings and population size. The only difference between the two may be that the overall economy of the isolated city is far less developed than that of Bailian City, and the strength of its top leaders is not as strong as that of Bailian Pavilion, which is located in the center of Bailian City.

But as a big city, it has almost everything it should have.

Although its economic level is slightly backward and its strength is barely enough to be a cabinet, it has the advantage of a good public security environment, smooth political affairs, and harmonious people. Most of the people living in it can have enough food and clothing, and are protected by the isolated city from the threat of desert bandits. They can go out safely even at night.

And all this is thanks to a great hero named Xi!

"Gu Yi, it looks lively here."

Gu Junjun raised her hand and placed it across her brow, looking around curiously.

"Yes."

Gu Yi looked around with a bit of surprise.

There was also a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Unlike Gu Junjun who had just arrived, this was not Gu Yi's first time in the lonely city.

But in his memory, although the lonely city was big, it was far from being as prosperous as it looks now. On the contrary, when he first came here, the streets were full of refugees with mutilated limbs, and even the walls of the buildings were leaning to one side and the other, giving Gu Yi the illusion that he had accidentally entered a slum.

"In this isolated city, bureaucracy is rampant, and corruption is rampant among the upper echelons. Officials act like masters, protecting each other and living a life of luxury and extravagance. Meanwhile, the people at the bottom are being exploited. Not only are they emaciated, they can't even afford to eat, and are often whipped by the upper-class rich."

Gu Yi was very surprised and said to himself, "I never thought that for so many years, Bailian Pavilion did nothing and allowed the desert bandits to run rampant in the desert, burning, killing and looting. Instead, it was the lonely city, which was lagging behind by who knows how many levels, that woke up first and gave the people living there an explanation."

He glanced at the rebuilt high-rise buildings nearby and said thoughtfully, "Who built this? The Hua family, or the people living in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Gu Yi, what are you talking about?"

"nothing."

Gu Yi shook his head and said, "I just felt sad about this ever-changing world."

Mobei is really very different.

"Just ask someone for information."

Gu Yi gently pushed Gu Junjun's back and said, "Go, don't just eat and do nothing. Remember the formula I taught you. If you run into trouble, I will find you through the soul seal."

"Also, don't go too far. I'm afraid you'll have been chopped into eight pieces by the time I get there."

"...Can't you just think of something nice for me?"

"Go quickly, you and I will split up and encourage each other."

"......All right."

Looking at Gu Yi's departing back, Gu Junjun also turned around and left in the opposite direction. Soon his eyes were locked on a broad and gorgeous back.

"Brother, may I ask you..."

"Ah~, whose child is missing~"

The other person was clearly a man, but his voice sounded sharp, thin and soft, and his posture was charming, especially his smiling expression, which gave Gu Junjun goosebumps.

"Excuse me! Goodbye!"

Gu Junjun quickly turned around and walked away, but just as he took a step, someone grabbed his arm and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

Damn! Gu Yi had just left when he encountered a monster!

Gu Junjun used all her strength to pull the arm that Hua Jingchen was holding.

My face turned red, but it was of no use.

"Brother, please let go!"

Gu Junjun gritted her teeth and said, "Don't embarrass me in front of Gu Yi!"

You can recite the mantra so quickly.

If Gu Yi saw this, he would be laughed to death!

"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

The more Gu Junjun resisted, the more playful Hua Jingchen became: "You little one are so cute, so fair and tender. What's your name? How old are you? Do you need any help?"

"Just let go. I don't need any help from you."

"But you just wanted to ask me a question."

"That was just now. I don't want to think about it now."

"Geese, geese, geese..."

In the end, Hua Jingchen let go of Gu Junjun, and reminded her, "Be careful, there are a lot of bad guys in the city, and they only like fair and tender little guys like you!"

Gu Junjun refused to listen to any advice and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Yes, there are all kinds of monsters and demons!"

After leaving these words, Gu Junjun turned around and bumped into something elastic with too much force. As his center of gravity was unstable, he sat down on the ground.

It hurts a little...

Gu Junjun was confused and hadn't figured out what was going on.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang in my ears.

"Hey! Who is so bold! You even dare to touch a tiger's butt!"

Yan Xixi felt like she was hit by something and turned around quickly.

The street thugs didn't see it.

Instead, I saw a little guy sitting on the ground with his teeth bared.

"Hey! You little brat, is that you? You were the one who touched my butt just now, weren't you?!"

"Touch your butt?"

Gu Junjun was stunned. "Sister, please stop slandering me. Who touched your butt?"

"Still quibbling. You're so young, but you're not a good person!"

"No, I really didn't. He can testify for me."

Follow the direction Gu Junjun pointed.

Yan Xixi looked at Hua Jingchen who was trying to suppress his laughter and asked, "Is that true?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this guy touched it. I saw it with my own eyes."

Hua Jingchen blinked at Yan Xixi with a smile on his face.

Yan Xixi understood.

She looked away and stared at Gu Junjun who was sitting on the ground in a daze. She felt vaguely familiar with him, but she still put her hands on her hips and shouted softly: "Now, what else do you have to say!"

Gu Junjun was stunned and muttered, "There really are a lot of bad people in this city."

"Say!"

Yan Xixi insisted: "How do we solve this problem?"

"Sister, I really didn't touch..."

"Still trying to quibble, huh?"

Gu Junjun has experienced firsthand how it feels to be unable to express your pain.

He said innocently, "If that doesn't work, I'll let you touch my butt too. That way, we'll be even, okay?"

Yan Xixi/Hua Jingchen:······

This little guy has a rather strange way of thinking.

"No, you must give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Then, how can I explain to you so that you will forgive me?"

"Tell me what you intended to do!"

Gu Junjun had a complicated expression.

He suddenly felt a little regretful that he didn't summon Gu Yi the first time he encountered the monster.

"I was a dog in my previous life, and I wanted the shit out of your ass. Is that okay?"

Yan Xixi:······

It's better not to explain, it's disgusting...

"what happened?"

At this time, another young lady who was not reserved but dignified came over.

"This little brat is so naughty at such a young age, touching my butt."

Yan Xixi pointed at Gu Junjun and complained to the visitor.

"what?"

Xi Zhaozhao blinked, "Why did he touch your butt?"

"I want the shit out of my ass."

"...Xixi, this joke is not funny."

"That's what he said himself."

Yan Xixi rolled her eyes, "How would I know why!"

Xi Zhaozhao felt a little embarrassed, then she reached out and helped Gu Junjun up, and also helped pat the dust off the little guy's butt, "Here, I taught him a lesson for you."

"It's okay, go back and find your parents."

"Geese, geese, geese..."

Hua Jingchen let out a light goose laugh and explained, "Okay, it's just a misunderstanding. Go back, go back. Sister was just joking with you."

"...This joke is not funny."

Gu Junjun was speechless, thinking that a boy’s reputation is also very important!

"Always remember to keep your eyes and ears open."

Yan Xixi stretched out her palm and placed it flat on Gu Junjun's hair, patting it a few times. She said a little smugly, "Luckily you met me this time. If it were anyone else, they would have been punched like a panda with two punches! Forget it this time, but be more careful next time, okay?"

"Meeting you is my bad luck!"
