Chapter 402 Big shot?
Everything went as usual that night. After admiring the various materials and jewelry they had bought, the two of them washed up. After the old nanny and the maid went out to sleep, Gu Shiyi dragged a bloody person out from under the bed. Pu Yanlan leaned over to take a look and found that it was the man from the couple they had met at Old Man Jin's place a few months ago.

At this time, the man's face was pale gold, his eyes were tightly closed, and his chest was only slightly heaving. The wound should be in his lower abdomen. The lower half of his body was already bloody red. At this time, the blood in his abdomen was still flowing, and the ground under him was a deep red. Pu Yanlan frowned,
"Why is it him?"

Gu Shiyi also looked helpless.

"I don't know whether it's his bad luck or ours!"

It was unknown whether this person was injured by his enemies, but he ended up hiding in their house. Gu Shiyi looked at the dying person on the ground with dissatisfaction.
"Yan'er, how about...let's throw him out!"

He obviously offended his enemies and hid in their house, which brought disaster upon them!
Pu Yanlan also nodded and said,
"My state of mind has been getting more and more perfect recently. I am afraid that I have made another breakthrough. If the people he provoked caused any trouble, it would be a disaster!"

The two discussed for a few sentences, and Gu Shiyi didn't waste any words. He bent down, picked up the man with his arm and walked out. Pu Yanlan stayed behind to clean up the traces left by the man. In order not to attract attention, the two of them lived like ordinary people. There was no suspicious formation in the yard, which gave the man an opportunity. The man hid in their bedroom when no one was at home. The blood from his lower abdomen dripped all over the room. Pu Yanlan was careful and looked at every place carefully. She rubbed her fingers continuously, releasing small balls of fire to clean up the blood bit by bit.

When Gu Shiyi came back, everything in the inner room was the same as before, as if the man had never been there. Pu Yanlan came over to help Gu Shiyi take off his clothes, and threw them into the brazier along with his shoes. She lit a fire and burned all the clothes on the two of them and those stained by the man.

"Where did you throw him?"

"I threw him to the authorities!"

Pu Yanlan was shocked.
"Throw it to the government?"

Gu Shiyi chuckled and said,

"When I was leaving, I happened to see government runners patrolling the streets. I thought about it and threw him on the road that the runners had to pass. I watched them carry him away before I came back..."

After a pause he said,

"At least he's still alive. If we throw him to the government, maybe he can be saved..."

As for whether the man’s enemies will come looking for him after he is rescued, or whether his true identity will be discovered by the Sanyang Sect and driven out of Goyang City, that is not something they can control!

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Well, it can be considered as leaving him a glimmer of hope!"

The Sanyang Sect has a good reputation. For those cultivators who refuse to pay spirit stones for shelter and hide in the city, as long as they have not committed any crimes that would anger God and people in the city, most of them will have their spirit stones plundered away and will be driven out of the city. They will not be killed!

If that man really has any enemies, maybe the Sanyang Sect can help protect him!

The two thought that throwing the man out would be enough, but they didn't know that this was just the beginning of trouble...

On the second day, when Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan both opened their eyes from their meditation, they both noticed something was wrong.
"eleven……"

Pu Yanlan had just said two words when Gu Shiyi stood up and walked out of the inner room with a solemn look. In the small courtyard outside the bedroom, beside a stone table in the middle, a middle-aged scholar in a Confucian robe and scarf, with a handsome face, was sitting there, holding a book and reading it with relish. Gu Shiyi glanced at it and saw that there was a light layer of frost on the table in front of him from last night, but the place where the middle-aged scholar's elbow was placed was clean. Gu Shiyi's heart trembled, and he looked at Pu Yanlan.
This thin layer of frost fell at dawn. The middle-aged man had been here for at least two hours, but the two of them had never noticed it!
When the middle-aged scholar saw Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan coming out one after another, he looked up at the two of them and said calmly,
"woke up?"

His tone was so natural that it seemed as if this was his home and the child coming out of the bedroom was his own. However, the gentler his tone, the colder Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan felt on their backs. Gu Shiyi forced a laugh and said,

"When did you come, senior? Why didn't you even say hello? It's really rude of us two juniors not to go out to greet you!"

The middle-aged scholar looked up at her, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his long eyebrows flying into his temples raised, and asked,

"you know me?"

You know we have nothing to do with each other and have never met each other. So what's the meaning of you breaking into our house and guarding outside the boudoirs of two unmarried girls?
However, this cultivator who could appear without anyone noticing must be at a higher level than the two of them. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan did not dare to offend him. Gu Shiyi could only laugh again and asked carefully,

"I haven't asked you your name yet, Senior. I wonder what you are doing in my little courtyard?"

The middle-aged scholar looked up and down at Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan, pointed at Pu Yanlan and said,
"You look like a cunning girl, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You...you look like an honest girl, just answer the question!"

The smile on Gu Shiyi's face froze, he exchanged a glance with Pu Yanlan, and silently retreated to the back. Pu Yanlan stepped forward and saluted,

"I wonder if senior has any advice?"

The middle-aged scholar said,

"I'm Zhao Wuxi, the lord of this city. You two have been in the city for three months. How come you haven't reported it or paid the spirit stones?" Zhao Wuxi?
Aren’t they the four great disciples under old man Sanyang?
The old man Sanyang has four disciples, Wuxi, Wubei, Wuyou, and a young disciple Wuxia, who is said to be a female disciple who has always been guarding the old man Sanyang. The first three disciples are in charge of a city each. It is said that Zhao Wuxi is the eldest disciple and has reached the early stage of transformation!

However, even if he did so, he should have no ill will towards the two of them, otherwise he would have slapped them to death like slapping mosquitoes. Why would he wait until now to talk nonsense and pretend to be cool with them?

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan thought to themselves,

"F*ck, is the Sanyang Sect so powerful? We were so careful, but they still found us?"

Also, isn’t this city lord too cheap? Don’t you have countless disciples in the Sanyang sect?
Why does the city lord come here in person to collect the spirit stones? This... After all, you are a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Aren't you a little too idle?

The middle-aged scholar seemed to have understood their thoughts from their stunned expressions. He frowned, put down the scroll in his hand and said,
"Since the two of you entered the city, your whereabouts have been under the control of my Sanyang Sect. Since you entered the city, you have always behaved yourself and have not caused any trouble to the people, so I have been holding back, but..."

His words suddenly changed.
"Last night...did you take someone out of your courtyard?"

When he mentioned last night, Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan's eyes froze. Gu Shiyi took a step forward and was about to speak, but the middle-aged scholar waved his hand and said,

"Don't talk..."

Then he pointed at Pu Yanlan.

"You speak!"

Pu Yanlan hurriedly said carefully,

"Senior, we are innocent of what happened last night. That man showed up in our courtyard on his own. You also know that we entered Gouyang City just to practice in peace and quiet and did not want to get into trouble. That is why we placed that man on the path that the patrol officers must take. Is he... that... is he... dead?"

Pu Yanlan speculated, could it be that the man last night had some relationship with Zhao Wuxi from the Sanyang Sect? They did not rescue him last night, so the man died from his injuries. Now Zhao Wuxi came personally to cause trouble?

Zhao Wuxi glanced at her and nodded.

"died!"

"He's dead... This senior, this matter has nothing to do with us. When he sneaked into our house last night, he was already seriously injured. When we sent him out, he was still breathing... Senior, this matter is not our fault!"

Pu Yanlan hurriedly explained, and Zhao Wuxi snorted and said,

"Whether he lives or not, I have no intention of helping him to avenge..."

"So... what does Senior mean?"

Pu Yanlan was a little confused and blinked. Zhao Wuxi said,
"Tell me in detail what happened in your courtyard last night. Don't hide anything..."

Pu Yanlan looked at Gu Shiyi and said to Zhao Wuxi,

"Senior, it was my sister who first discovered the man last night..."

Zhao Wuxi glanced at Gu Shiyi. He seemed to dislike Gu Shiyi very much. He nodded reluctantly and said,
"speak!"

Gu Shiyi then said,
"Senior, I and my friends were out shopping last night, and we didn't get home until it was almost dark. As soon as we arrived at the door, we sensed a strange aura and a strong smell of blood..."

After Gu Shiyi opened the courtyard door and entered the inner room, he saw the man lying in their bedroom. He was already semi-conscious.

"...I have seen him...his abdomen was smashed by a magic weapon. He was able to escape despite such a serious injury. This was a great achievement. I did not have any elixirs to treat him, so I did not dare to touch him. Later, after discussing it with my sisters, I sent him away because I did not want to cause trouble..."

Zhao Wuxi frowned when he heard this, and stared straight at Gu Shiyi.

"Did he say anything?"

Gu Shiyi thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"No, he was already unconscious at that time..."

Gu Shiyi was really telling the truth. The man didn't say a word from beginning to end. Even if he did say a word, with Gu Shiyi's experience in the underworld, he would most likely pretend not to hear it!
