The man previously on the ground struggled to his feet, his limp evident as he caught up with her. He inquired, “Mr. Jun, what would make you consider assisting us?”
“To secure my assistance, it hinges on your sincerity. I won’t aid individuals with mysterious backgrounds, nor will 1 assist those concealing their true identities,” Gu Qingluan responded as she reached the alley’s entrance.
The noise of the main road reached their ears—shouts, bustling traffic, and a continuous stream of people.
The two men following her exchanged a glance.
The shorter one asked, “What should we do?”
“Our master’s identity is prestigious and cannot be revealed casually; doing so would be a sin. But if we don’t tell Mr. Jun, we may not be able to bring him back, and that would mean failing our master’s command.”
As they hesitated, Gu Qingluan had already entered the crowd.
They immediately rushed towards her without thinking too much, saying, “Mr. Jun, we agree!”
Gu Qingluan didn’t stop her steps, and they had to keep pace with her as they whispered, “My master is Zhou Qingyu, the first young master of the leading family in Nanqing. I hope you can accompany us for a journey, Mr. Jun.”
Zhou family?
Gu Qingluan paused for a moment.
Some of the girls they had rescued from the Fifth Prince’s mansion a few days ago seemed to be from the Zhou family.
What a coincidence.
Gu Qingluan had heard of the Zhou family in the South Qing Kingdom.
Unlike the newly risen Gu family, the Zhou family was a genuine ancient noble family with a history of a thousand years. They had a strong foundation, produced many talented individuals, and had many outstanding descendants. Zhou Qingyu was the most outstanding figure of this generation and had a well-known reputation on the continent, even earlier than Gu Lingxue.
As famous as his talents were, Zhou Qingyu was equally renowned for his character—a well-Im own good person.
Gu Qingluan glanced at the two men in front of her, doubting whether those rumors were true.
Could a widely acclaimed good person have such secretive subordinates?
To find out if it was true or not, she would have to see for herself!
“Where are we going?”
Seeing that she seemed willing to go, the two men were delighted. “To the Immortal Ascension Tower, not far from here.”
The Immortal Ascension Tower was the largest tavern in the black market.
“Lead the way.”
The two men were ecstatic. “Please, Mr. Jun!”
One of them took the lead, and the other followed.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t ignore the ulterior motives of the mastermind, but she didn’t confront them about it
After walking two streets, they arrived at the brightly lit Immortal Ascension Tower.
The Immortal Ascension Tower was likely the tallest building in the black market, with a total of ninety-nine floors that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky.
It was Gu Qingluan’s first time here, and even from a distance, the aroma of alcohol wafted towards her, causing her eyes to brighten.
“Go get some fine wine!” Gu Qingluan instructed one of Zhou’s servants. “Remember, it has to be the best.”
“Huh?”
The other man nudged him. “Hurry up! 1’11 take Mr. Jun to see the young master.”
With a gesture of “please”, he said, “Mr. Jun, let me take you to see the young master.”
Gu Qingluan nodded and followed him into the tavern.
“What floor is Zhou Qingyu on?”
“On the fiftieth floor.”
Gu Qingluan wondered how they would reach the fiftieth floor.
Unlike the Heavenly Realm Continent where you could fly with a sword at will, it wasn’t that easy here.
Then, the Zhou family servant led her into a square space that looked like a box with one missing side.
Someone had just come out of it.
After they entered, the Zhou family servant pressed a button on the wall with special symbols engraved on it twice.
Then, a white light appeared in front of them, and their box suddenly lifted off the ground and soared into the sky.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.
Was this a teleportation portal?
No, teleportation portals weren’t this slow.
With her divine sense, Gu Qingluan could see that the box they were in was rapidly ascending. If it were a teleportation portal, they would have arrived at another location in the blink of an eye.
In no time, the box stopped its ascent, and the white light in front of them disappeared.
“Mr. Jun, we’ve reached the fiftieth floor. Let’s go.”
Gu Qingluan nodded discreetly and followed him out.
The Immortal Ascension Tower was constructed in extreme luxury.
The Zhou family servant led her to a room and knocked on the door, announcing, “Young Master, Mr. Jun has arrived..”
