Gu Qingluan casually responded, “Not really, I’m just a bit curious.”
Fourth Master Tang gave her a deep look, not exposing her lie. His gaze swept around, and he said in a low voice, “The person who obtained the contact has had contact with you. That’s all 1 can say for now.”
Suddenly, he raised his voice, “Today, we must thank Mr. Jun for his remarkable healing abilities, which saved so many people. Otherwise, we, who belong to the Shadow Tower, wouldn’t know how to solve the problem.”
Gu Qingluan pondered his previous statement.
Someone she had contact with?
Today, she had interacted with quite a few people.
Which one was he referring to?
Just then, a figure approached. “What Master Tang was said right. Mr. Jun, with your exceptional medical skills at such a young age, do you have any interest in joining our Shadow Tower?”
It was Master Lin!
Gu Qingluan temporarily set aside her doubts and smiled calmly, “Thank you for your kind offer, Master Lin, but I’m not one to enjoy constraints. I can only offer my apologies.”
Master Lin looked at her and then at Fourth Master Tang. “Mr. Jun might have misunderstood our Shadow Tower. We’ve always respected strong individuals and would never impose constraints. Master Tang, why didn’t you brief Mr. Jun about us? It seems he has some misconceptions”
Fourth Master Tang smoothly steered the conversation, saying, “I’ll clarify things next time. Master Lin, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”
Master Lin sneered inwardly. “No need for me to trouble myself? You’re afraid rd s.n.a.t.c.h him from you.”
He turned to Gu Qingluan. “Mr. Jun, if there was any misunderstanding caused earlier, I hope you can forgive any perceived disrespect.”
Gu Qingluan detected the underlying tension between the two masters but had no intention of getting involved.
She responded in an official and composed manner, “Master Lin, there’s no need to worry. Anyone would doubt my abilities.”
Gu Qingluan glanced outside. “It’s getting late. I wonder if we can leave the Shadow Tower now?”
Master Lin, feeling relieved that Gu Qingluan held no grudges, showed a sincere smile.” Mr. Jun, please wait for a moment. After we’ve discussed matters within the Shadow Tower, if everything is in order, everyone will be permitted to depart.”
Gu Qingluan nodded, bidding farewell to the two men.
Unlike before, she and He Lianjun had become the center of attention wherever they went.
He Lianjun exclaimed excitedly, “Brother Jun, you’re famous now!”
Gu Qingluan sighed.
She didn’t need this kind of fame.
Being observed like a monkey, where every move she made was scrutinized by those with ill intentions, wouldn’t aid her in her actions.
Nevertheless, she pulled He Lianjun aside into a corner and asked him, “Are the two people you saw earlier here?”
She almost forgot that He Lianjun had also seen the 999th VIP.
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Yes, one of the people you’re looking for, didn’t he just save you?”
“Is it him? Are you sure?”
“Yes, it’s him! I have a good memory; 1 wouldn’t mistake him!”
Gu Qingluan quickly looked around.
But she didn’t see the figure with the black mask.
Did he leave again?
How did he end up here just now?
Could it be that one of his companions was poisoned, and now that the poison was cured, they left?
Gu Qingluan hurriedly left the room.
“Brother Jun, where are you going?”
“I have something to attend to. You don’t need to follow me!”
She recalled He Lianjun mentioning a scheme involving the Chaos Stone to harm people. This suggested that the man with the black mask might be in jeopardy.
There was no reason to drag He Lianjun, an outsider, into this situation..
