According to the rules of the Shadow Tower, they wouldn’t disclose information about guests to outsiders. For Fourth Master Tang to tell her such information was already an exception, clearly implying that he wanted to do her a favor.
Gu Qingluan understood this and thanked him, saying, “Thank you! I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
“Farewell.” Tang Sier nodded and watched her leave.
After a while, one of the Shadow Tower attendants approached Fourth Master Tang and asked, “Fourth Master, would it be unwise to disclose information about the distinguished guest to him?”
“Have we disclosed anything?” Fourth Master Tang gave him a sidelong glance.
The attendant’s expression changed when he heard this. “Fourth Master, you’re right. We haven’t said anything.”
“Brother Jun, have you obtained your treasure?” He Lianjun saw Gu Qingluan coming out and immediately approached her.
Gu Qingluan urgently asked, “Did you see anyone coming out from inside just now?”
He Lianjun nodded. “Two people just came out.”
“Did you see where they went?”
“Why do you want to know, Brother Jun? Do you know them?”
“Just tell me which direction they went! 1 have an urgent matter to find them!” Gu Qingluan’s tone became slightly anxious.
He Lianjun pointed in a direction. “Those two left together and headed in that direction.”
That direction…
Seemed to be towards the main gate of the Shadow Tower.
Gu Qingluan immediately rushed over.
If she was a step too late, it would be difficult to find them after they left the Shadow Tower.
He Lianjun didn’t know what she was planning but followed her.
Gu Qingluan saw the tightly closed main gate ahead, and her eyes lit up.
With the gate sealed, did it mean that the person with the 999 had not left yet?
Suddenly, a strong wind attacked her from behind.
Gu Qingluan quickly dodged.
The attacker missed and stopped behind her.
Gu Qingluan turned to look.
It was the black-clothed masked figure!
Cold light flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.
Why would they come out and attack her instead of finding a place to hide properly? Were they tired of living?
“Help me!” The person stared at her and uttered just two words as if they hadn’t attacked her at all.
A faint scent of blood filled the air.
Before Gu Qingluan could respond, He Lianjun interjected, “Hey, you’re quite interesting. You attacked my buddy just now and still got the nerve to ask my brother for help?” He Lianjun had rushed over, out of breath, and had heard the black-clothed masked person’s words. He found it amusing.
He had seen the attacker emerge from the corner with his own eyes, attempting to attack his buddy.
If his buddy hadn’t dodged quickly, he might have already been knocked out, and who knew what the attacker would have done to him!
Gu Qingluan crossed her arms and looked at the masked figure. “Give me a reason.”
“I have something you want on me.”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow, half-smiling. “Tell me what 1 want.”
The masked figure was about to speak when they suddenly sensed fluctuations of arcane power in the air and hurriedly said, “Gold needle!”
Gu Qingluan’s eyes narrowed.
Someone was approaching!
And it wasn’t just one person!
Without time to ask how the masked figure knew, she grabbed them and said, “Relax, don’t resist!”
The black-clothed masked person tensed all over, almost preparing to counterattack, but they restrained themselves in time, as instructed by Gu Qingluan.
Following that, a white light flashed on their body, and the masked figure disappeared on the spot.
“Hey, where did he go?”
He Lianjun widened his eyes.
The person had vanished right in front of him!
Such a big person, where could they have gone?
Just then, the sound of strong wind grew closer.
Several figures descended from the sky and landed in front of Gu Qingluan and He Lianjun.
The leader’s sharp gaze swept over Gu Qingluan and He Lianjun.
“Have you seen a black-clothed person with a masked face?”
“No.”
Their straightforward response didn’t satisfy these Shadow Tower personnel..
The leader scrutinized them and asked in a less friendly tone, “What are you doing here?”
