Lifting his gaze, he saw Gu Xiang’s pair of wide eyes staring at him unblinkingly. He found it humorous that he had really been stumped by a little maiden’s questions, but in a split second, a light went off in his mind, and the words leapt out of him. “He’s called Zhou Xu, am I right? ‘Body like a drifting cloud, heart like a floating willow seed’, and he had a brother called Zhou Yun. As for how he looks like…I do not know how he looks like today, because he’s accustomed to disguise. Although, ultimately, he makes no progress whatsoever: no matter how he disguises himself, he can’t be anything other than a man with a yellowish-green face and sleazy features, right?”

He could not be sure whether Zhou Zishu would use the pseudonym of “Zhou Yun” or “Zhou Xu”, but he thought that with the man’s personality, he would only use those few names, and so he bluffed his way through with half-truths.

But he had actually stunned Gu Xiang with his words, who said, semi-believing, “Huh? Does Zhou Xu still have a brother?”

In the long period of time she had known Zhou Zishu for, even if she had heard Wen Kexing say that he might be among the top brass of Tian Chuang, she found him very mysterious. Where he had come from, from where he would leave[26], which sect had he been of and other details like that were all unknown to her, and she had never heard that he even had a brother.

Another thought flashed in her mind. The two people in front of her: it was difficult to tell for the man in blue, but the man in black was truly one of those experts that she had rarely come across in her life. Even if her master was present, it would be difficult to tell who was more skilled. If he wanted to harm her and Zhang Chengling, it was as easy as squashing two bugs dead. There was absolutely no need for him to lie, and so, in her heart, Gu Xiang truly believed them.

Lord Seventh saw that he had these two tykes stunned, and lowered his eyes. He watched the fire flickering unsteadily, and chuckled soundlessly.

And thus, on the second day, Gu Xiang brought Zhang Chengling along with her and left with these two men, carefully avoiding detection by others. Lord Seventh brought the two of them to a bank, where the shopkeeper and the boss who resembled a ball of dough behind him came out immediately to welcome them, respectfully addressing the two men as “Master” and “Great Shaman” respectively.
