Chapter 359 Staying safe
Chapter 359 Staying safe
But this small force, which had been operating for over ten years, was naturally not worth the Gu family's attention.
Who knows if you want to repay a debt of gratitude or seek revenge?
The Gu family is in business, so of course they wouldn't ruin their own reputation, especially since Zhu Wuyao only maintains single-line contact with Gu Lang and Li Fuwei.
He didn't let slip a single word.
Hearing Rong Zhao's angry outburst, Hu Sanlang picked up "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" from the table, quickly read the first article, and said:
"Could it be that Wuyu really encountered an accident?"
It's often said that intellectuals look down on each other.
If Wuyu were still alive, and saw a junior as her equal, and her former rivals stirring up trouble, would that little girl really be able to tolerate it?
Rong Zhao pulled the stool out and sat down at the table, saying:
"During the mine rebellion, we didn't even have time to exchange names."
"She was young at the time, and although her body cultivation was somewhat lacking, she was able to fight her way in and out of that group of cultivators three times. She must not be some unknown junior."
"But over the years, we've met with some quite famous young people, and we haven't seen her anywhere..."
Hu Sanlang remained silent for a moment.
Could it be that he misjudged the situation, and that the little girl never escaped from the Liquan Boundary?
At that moment, they were like frightened rabbits; as soon as the cage door opened, they fled in panic, none of them daring to look back.
Although everyone's cultivation was completely suppressed in the Liquan Realm, they were of no help whatsoever.
In those situations, the only option is to make the choice that maximizes the benefits.
Indeed, he left Wuyu alone in the Liquan Realm.
If Wuyu has already met with misfortune, then wouldn't there be no way to repay the kindness shown to him back then?
Not knowing the name is one thing, but the most crucial thing is—
Wu Yu only used his original appearance to meet the two once or twice, and then used a thin stone shard to destroy his appearance.
Moreover, that iconic black broken sword was destroyed in front of everyone, and it might have been replaced with another weapon after it came out, so it can't be used as evidence to find the person.
In other words, his name, appearance, and weapons were all unknown.
This greatly increases the difficulty of finding the person.
Thinking of this, Rong Zhao looked at the "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" on the table, and then thought of the little bell and Youdaoshi, which made him even angrier.
Hu Sanlang watched as she set the ten thousand book reviews ablaze and said:
"Perhaps she has regained her appearance and changed her weapons."
"We might meet her but not know her, who knows?"
"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now. Once our little sect gains some prestige, we'll naturally meet more people."
"If we meet then, and she encounters any difficulties, at least we can help her out."
After venting her anger on "Ten Thousand Volumes of Book Reviews," Rong Zhao calmed down. She nodded and began to discuss serious matters, saying:
"At our current scale, we can hardly be called a small sect."
"By a measure, we have enough strength, but we lack cultivation techniques and secret treasures as a foundation for inheritance."
"The Koma clan had already shown us goodwill some time ago, and a merger was only a matter of time, but the Queshan clan has not yet expressed its opinion..."

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

If there is anything else that can serve as evidence of their acquaintance, it is the "Exquisite Collection of Paintings" which Hu Sanlang used to pass on his teachings to Mu Changying.
While at Xiaotian Sect, Zhu Wuyao began to sketch the second painting on his left leg.
This time she didn't have any particular thoughts and just opened a blind box.
When the disciples finished their assessment and left the Star-Picking Tower, the second painting was finally completed—the majestic green mountains were hidden in the vast and boundless sea of clouds.
Zhu Wuyao thought about it and concluded that the origin of this painting was probably because she had traveled to many places.
If this were modern times, she could easily become a travel blogger.
In the cultivation world, it was purely because he was penniless and couldn't use the teleportation array, so he was forced to do it.
In addition, there was really no useful information, so I could only wander around aimlessly.
Now I have spirit stones in my pocket and connections in the underworld.
Zhu Wuyao saved himself many days of walking.
She took out a map, glanced at the approximate area drawn by Gu Yiguan, and determined the direction.
Ruan Ayao, who was standing next to her, glanced at her map and said:
"You and Gu Yiguan have a good relationship."
"what?"
Zhu Wuyao was stunned for a moment, then realized that the map was indeed extremely detailed.
There is also Gu Yiguan's handwriting on it.
In an era when travel and communication were not very convenient, detailed maps and even strategic information were invaluable. Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao turned slightly to avoid Ruan Ayao's gaze.
I won't let her see it.
Although Ruan Ayao also had her own map, it was given to her by Zhaixinglou after all, and it might have marked some information unique to the family.
Ruan Ayao was unaware of the details.
Judging from this small detail, it's reasonable to assume that she and Gu Yiguan had a good relationship.
Zhu Wuyao did not offer any further explanation.
She put away the map, clasped her hands in a fist salute to the disciple guarding the teleportation array, and followed Ruan Ayao out of the teleportation array area, paying the remaining balance.
Ruan Ayao accepted the spirit stone and said:
Farewell, and may we meet again someday.
"If you encounter any danger, even if it's just a minor problem, you can come to me for Gu Yiguan's sake, and I can go to the Taibai Sect."
"If it's a big problem, I'll trouble you to lead it to the territory of the Southern Juque Sect, and not into the territory of the Western Taibai Sect."
Zhu Wuyao nodded and said:
"I'm only here to find someone, I don't want to cause any trouble."
Zhu Wuyao has always been kind to others, humble and modest, indifferent to fame and fortune, and of noble character. He never gets into disputes with anyone.
In this life, life can be summed up in four words: be content with your lot and keep to yourself.
To this day, the greatest atrocity she has committed was in the panoramic motion-sensing game featuring the demon race.
Ruan Ayao actually believed it.
After all, in the past ten years or so, the cultivation world had indeed not heard any news about Zhu Wuyao, so quiet that she thought he had died and disappeared.
She nodded slightly and bid farewell to Zhu Wuyao.
Heading to the garrison of the Taibai Sect disciples.
This place is relatively remote, so many new and interesting things don't get here until later.
For example, there are rumors about Zhu Wuyao in "Ten Thousand Book Reviews".
As Ruan Ayao approached the gate, she bumped into the sect disciples discussing Zhu Wuyao—
"Is this Zhu Wuyao truly a thief of fortune?"
"Doesn't that mean she can exchange fortunes with whomever she desires? How is that any different from evil and heretical practices?!"
"He stood on the arena for seven days... without a single defeat..."
Ruan Ayao paused slightly.
Although she wasn't a fortune teller, she still had a bad feeling.
Pushing open the door, before her fellow disciples from the Taibai Sect could greet her, Ruan Ayao spoke:
Tell me the details of Zhu Wuyao's message.
Her junior sister quickly handed over "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," not expecting that Senior Sister Ruan would actually like to listen to such gossip?
Ruan Ayao turned to the page concerning Zhu Wuyao—
"Fallen Leaves Invite Autumn to Make a Strong Comeback, Remaining Undefeated for Seven Days in the Arena, and Breaking Through to the Golden Core Stage in the Final Battle."
"Such a brilliant and extraordinary person is bound to cause a stir wherever he goes!"
"If it remains silent, it will be for nothing; but when it does, it will be a sensation."
"Let's wait and see what kind of storm she'll stir up next!"
Ruan Ayao slammed the book shut.
