The young voice left Song Huize momentarily stunned. He raised his head and saw a black-clad man with a silver mask standing before him.
Song Huize’s mind raced.
He was certain that he had never seen this person before.
In other words, this person shouldn’t be here to confront him about selling fake medicine.
With this thought, Song Huize managed to regain some composure.
“I’m curious, sir, why have you been following me? I don’t recall us ever meeting before.”
Gu Qingluan lowered her eyelids, her gaze slightly chilly as she stared at his wrinkled old face. “You must have made quite a bit of money selling elixirs tonight, haven’t you?”
Song Huize’s eyes darted around, secretly speculating: Could this youngster be here to rob me?
Heh, with such formidable cultivation, he could do anything, yet he chose to rob others’ money!
Song Huize felt indignant, but he dared not show it.
The Black Market was a place where the law of the jungle prevailed.
Open and covert robberies were an everyday occurrence here.
To his surprise, it was happening to him today!
Song Huize cursed his misfortune inwardly.
He pushed himself up from the ground, performing a Wind-Cleansing Technique to remove the dust from his body. “1 don’t understand what you’re talking about. 1 don’t sell elixirs.”
Gu Qingluan sneered and a golden light shot out from her fingertip.
Song Huize attempted to dodge but found his body suppressed by overwhelming pressure, rendering him immobile. In his mind, he cursed this person’s ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.
The Golden Silkworm Thread pulled out something from his embrace, revealing a pile of soft clothing—precisely the outfit he had discarded earlier, including the mask and wig.
“You can continue to play innocent,” Gu Qingluan said as she tossed these items in front of him, smiling knowingly.
This swindler was indeed skilled. His disguise technique was impeccable. Whether it was the appearance of the middle-aged man with the goat’s beard or the old woman, they were all lifelike. If it weren’t for her proficiency in disguise and the fact that she had locked onto him with her spiritual sense, she might have been deceived as well.
Song Huize’s face darkened. Did this guy have X-ray vision? How did he know everything?
Anyway, he had been recognized, and there was no use denying it any longer.
“All right, all right, 1 admit it. I’m the one who was selling elixirs just now. What do you want? Since you know who 1 am, you should understand that someone from the Island of No Return is not to be trifled with!”
Even now, he was trying to intimidate by saying he was someone from the Island of No Return.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes narrowed, her voice turning cold. “Enough talk. Hand over the money you swindled tonight!”
He wasn’t even scared at this point?
Song Huize compared their strengths. The difference was too vast. He couldn’t win in a fight, and saying he was someone from the Island of No Return didn’t seem to intimidate his opponent either. It seemed he would have to give up the hard-earned money from tonight to save his life.
He pulled the bag hanging from his waist and threw it at her feet, looking away in pain. “All the money is here, it’s all yours.”
Gu Qingluan scanned the bag with her spiritual sense. It was filled with Xuanling Crystal Hearts and Xuanling Stones, worth dozens of Xuanling Crystal Hearts.
My goodness, in such a short time, he managed to swindle so much.
Before tonight, who knew how many people he had deceived in the name of the Island of No Return?
Gu Qingluan’s expression darkened, and her eyes grew even more dangerous. “Saying you are someone from the Island of No Return comes in handy, doesn’t it?”
Seeing her angry demeanor, a realization dawned on Song Huize, and he looked utterly astonished. “Y-y-you… You’re from the Island of No Return?”
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow, and before she could speak, Song Huize knelt before her with a thud.. “Master! 1 beg you to take me as your disciple! I’ve been searching for you so desperately!”
