The content on the scroll was very simple.

It only contained a brief introduction of the traitor.

Name: Ouyang Xuan.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Betrayed the sect three months ago, massacring sect disciples.

Will meet someone at the Moon Gazing Inn in the city in two days, and then return home to worship ancestors.

Besides these, there was only a simple portrait.

A woman.

Ordinary features, overall ordinary temperament.

However, the two pigtails she wore were quite eye-catching.

Returning the scroll to Chen Yue, Gu An said his thanks.

Only then did he turn around and follow the two senior brothers and sisters away.

"I've troubled the senior brothers and sisters."

At this time, Mo Lan and the other's eyes were uncertain, and in the end, they both remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu An did not breathe a sigh of relief.

People with scheming minds are dangerous.

These two can also be patient, which means they are more difficult to deal with than expected.

But now is not the time to think too much.

"What do senior brothers and sisters plan to do?" Gu An took the initiative to ask.

"Aren't you quite opinionated?" Mo Lan said with a chuckle.

"I should still listen more to the opinions of senior brothers and sisters," Gu An said humbly.

"We look so young, don't you feel ashamed calling us senior brothers and sisters when you're so old?" Ye Song asked after walking out of the room.

Mo Lan said in a strange tone: "Senior Brother Ye is wrong, he is weak in cultivation, if he doesn't call us senior brothers and sisters, should he call us junior brothers and sisters?

How thick would his skin have to be to dare call us that?"

Ye Song seemed to have just realized, nodding with a smile, saying, "So that's how it is."

Gu An followed behind, not refuting.

He found that after coming to the outer sect, many people would bring up age.

It seemed that the older you were, the less value you had.

There wouldn't be much respect.

Especially for someone like him, old and weak in cultivation.

He wasn't worth anyone's kind words.

Improving cultivation, besides self-preservation.

There was also an important point, which was to allow others to speak to him normally.

Evening.

The three arrived at Greenwood City.

The city was extremely large, containing not only people from the sect but also various major families.

But no matter what force it was, it was far inferior to the Azurewood Sect.

Or rather, behind each major family, there were more or less some strong individuals from the sect standing.

Soon, the three arrived at the Moon Gazing Inn.

"We'll stay here for one night, the other party should be coming the day after tomorrow." Saying this, Ye Song looked at Gu An and said:

"You stay in the lobby to observe the guests, no problem, right?"

Gu An nodded, not offering any objections.

Of course, his words carried little weight, it would be useless to object.

The Moon Gazing Inn had three types of rooms: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

Heaven-class rooms cost two spirit stones a night, with many formations inside, and rich spiritual energy.

Earth-class rooms cost one spirit stone a night, with half as many formations and half as much spiritual energy.

Human-class rooms cost five broken spirit stones a night, with only simple defensive and soundproofing formations, without gathering spiritual energy, it was as it was.

Ye Song and Mo Lan stayed in Earth-class rooms.

Gu An chose a Human-class room.

Not that he couldn't afford an Earth-class room, but it wasn't necessary.

Moreover, slightly showing weakness would always make people underestimate him.

If there was a conflict, it would be easier to catch them off guard.

After confirming the room, Gu An sat in the lobby.

He began to observe some of the people in the inn.

This wasn't a very good inn, there weren't many strong individuals.

Mostly young people, Qi Refining Seventh or Eighth Layer.

Ordering some peanuts, Gu An quietly observed, hoping to see the traitor.

Until night, there were no discoveries.

Thus, he had no choice but to return to his room.

Not rushing to rest.

For cultivators, with higher cultivation, sleep time would also decrease.

It wouldn't affect the next day's spirit much.

After reading Myriad Manifestations Forest for a long time, Gu An planned to rest.

It was already past midnight.

Suddenly, the Ring of Fate changed.

Gu An checked the content at the first moment.

Immediately afterward, a passage appeared in his mind.

【Last night, Ye Song went to Mo Lan's room, mentioning your matter. They think you are scheming and can be patient, but not much.

At forty-some years old and Qi Refining Seventh Layer, you can't understand your own position.

The only thing you have going for you is that you don't have much lifespan left, and you dare to charge and kill, after all, you don't have many years to live.

Such a person is useful to win over, but not very useful, and may even have rebellious thoughts, difficult to control.

After comprehensive evaluation, they feel you are not worth winning over, but it is still possible to try, failure doesn't matter, using force to make you tell about Ren Shan is enough.

Afterward, tell the sect that when investigating the traitor, you were killed.】

Gu An was a little surprised, from the Ring of Fate's perspective, these two people were extremely clear-headed, not as straightforward as they were during the day.

So, were they deliberately testing him?

For a time, Gu An was quite alarmed, he originally thought he was facing only some arrogant people, who would have thought the other party was also hiding.

"So I was also arrogant, almost underestimating them."

Gu An sighed silently.

However, this matter was indeed because of Ren Shan.

If the secret doesn't come out, it will really never end.

I have to find Ren Shan again.

But if I don't really get the secret out, finding her will be useless.

"Things are quite complicated."

Gu An didn't think too much, but began to rest.

The next day.

Gu An came to the inn lobby again, drinking tea and eating peanuts.

Half a day passed, but there were still no discoveries.

In the evening, Gu An ate braised beef and rice.

According to the information, Ouyang Xuan was meeting someone at the inn tomorrow.

So, there was a high possibility she would come over tonight.

Sure enough, as it got dark, a woman walked in, not with pigtails, and also wearing a mask.

But Gu An only glanced at her and knew that the other party was Ouyang Xuan.

After confirming that the other party went to Human-Class Room Six, Gu An found Ye Song and them.

"Any discoveries?" Ye Song asked.

Gu An nodded: "Went to Human-Class Room Six."

"You did a good job with this matter." Mo Lan pondered for a moment and said: "Since you discovered it, then we can take you as the leader to carry out the capture, and then you will have the greatest credit for this task.

The greatest credit is worth fifty merits."

Are you telling me to be cannon fodder? Gu An thought in his heart.

Then he shook his head and refused, saying: "Without senior brothers and sisters, I wouldn't have discovered it at all, the greatest credit is naturally for senior brothers and sisters."

"You have a good heart." Ye Song nodded and said: "You go try knocking on the door, logically speaking, no one knows you, we will be watching you from behind at all times.

To prevent you from being in danger."

Gu An didn't refuse again, these two were determined to make him cannon fodder.

Afterward, he came to Human-Class Room Six.

Ye Song and Mo Lan were secretly observing from behind.

Gu An came to the door and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" A vigilant voice came from inside.

Gu An said calmly: "Guest, your water is here."

"Leave it at the door." The voice inside continued to come.

"Guest, there is something wrong with this water, it's best to take a look." Gu An continued to speak.

At this time, there was a moment of silence inside.

Then the door slowly opened.

Soon a woman wearing a black robe appeared in Gu An's eyes, the other party also saw him at the first time.

The other party froze, a look of horror flashed in her eyes.

She was about to close the door.

Thus, Gu An hesitated for a moment, and planned to let her close the door.

If he didn't handle things well, Ye Song and them would come knock on the door themselves.

Hiding behind would be much safer.

But just as he was about to retreat, he heard a whistling sound from behind.

Turning his head to look, he found a huge palm attacking from behind.

Gu An was a little alarmed, this palm was coming towards him.

Not fatal, but Ye Song was intending to let him go in first.
