After a period of time, Feng Tianian withdrew his hand and raised his purple eyes to look at her.
Gu Qingluan immediately asked, “How is it? Did you find them this time?”
A faint smile appeared on Feng Tianlan’s face. “Yes, if I’m not mistaken, they are in the Shadow Tower.”
Gu Qingluan showed a surprised expression. “They’re actually in the Shadow Tower? Could it be that Yan Laogui is associated with the Shadow Tower?”
Although she had used the Soul Absorption technique to search Yan Laogui’s memories, it was only a fragment of his consciousness, and she didn’t know the full extent of his relationship with the Shadow Tower.
If Yan Laogui was hiding in the Shadow Tower, it would be tricky.
As the top power in the Black Market, the Shadow Tower had strict security, making it difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.
But even if it meant going to the most dangerous places, they had to explore them!
Gu Qingluan said, “I know the Fourth Master Tang of the Shadow Tower. Perhaps 1 can ask him for help.”
She explained her plan to Feng Tianian.
She would go to Fourth Master Tang as “Jun Qing” and ask for his assistance, while Feng Tianian would temporarily stay in the Stellar Space and follow her into the Shadow Tower.
Once they were inside the Shadow Tower, they would split up.
Feng Tianian would look for Yan Laogui, and she would delay Fourth Master Tang.
Once he located the remnants of Xiaonan and Yuanxi’s souls, they would reunite.
This was currently the most appropriate plan. It allowed them to enter the Shadow Tower smoothly without alerting suspicion.
Feng Tianian nodded in agreement with her proposal.
Yan Laogui had been severely injured, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t take it out on Xiaonan and Yuanxi. Every minute counted.
The two of them didn’t delay any further and immediately headed to the Shadow Tower.
When they arrived outside the Shadow Tower, Gu Qingluan presented the token given to her by Fourth Master Tang.
After a moment, a Shadow Tower disciple led her inside.
This was the first time Gu Qingluan had entered the Shadow Tower during daylight.
The architecture of the Shadow Tower primarily consisted of dark elements. After passing through the main gate, a massive square came into view.
Gu Qingluan discreetly observed her surroundings while following the Shadow Tower disciple towards a three-story tower.
The disciple escorted her to a guest room inside the tower.
Gu Qingluan noticed a man with his back turned to her in the room, which struck her as odd.
When the man turned around, it wasn’t Fourth Master Tang but the Hall Master Lin!
Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered slightly. “What is the meaning of this, Hall Master Lin?”
Hall Master Lin smiled and said, “Please forgive me, Mr. Jun. Fourth Master Tang happened to be absent from the Shadow Tower right now, but when 1 heard you had come, I allowed you in.”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable with the way Hall Master Lin looked at her.
However, her meeting with Fourth Master Tang was just an excuse, and she certainly couldn’t leave because of it.
She nodded and said, “Thank you, Hall Master Lin. I’ll wait here for Fourth Master Tang. You’re a busy person, and there’s no need to entertain someone like me.”
A glint appeared in Hall Master Lin’s eyes, and he gave a meaningful smile. “Mr. Jun, you’re being too humble. Your medical expertise has made you a sought-after healer. However, your enigmatic identity has led many to seek help directly from our Shadow Tower. If you allow it, you may find yourself quite busy. Did Fourth Master Tang previously entrust you with saving someone? If so, you don’t have to wait for Fourth Master Tang. 1 can escort you there immediately.”
Gu Qingluan hesitated. “Is that… appropriate?”
“No problem. Honestly, the person in need of treatment is one of our hall masters here at the Shadow Tower. Whether Fourth Master Tang takes you or 1 do, it makes no difference.”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but feel that there was more to this situation.
Hall Master Lin seemed to be interrupting Fourth Master Tang, possibly trying to take credit.
Hall Master Lin gazed at Gu Qingluan with a faint smile. “What do you think, Mr. Jun? Do you doubt my character?”
“How could that be?” Gu Qingluan smiled. “It’s just that this matter was entrusted to me by Fourth Master Tang, and if 1 diagnose and treat the patient without going through him, it might not sit well.”
“Your consideration is greatly appreciated, Mr. Jun. However, he’s currently on a mission and won’t be back at the Shadow Tower anytime soon. But the patient’s situation can’t afford any delays. If you go now to provide treatment, you’re actually assisting him. If any delay on his part results in the patient’s condition worsening, the responsibility would fall on him.”
Hall Master Lin had reached a point where Gu Qingluan couldn’t easily refuse without potentially offending him. If she were driven out, it would be troublesome.
So, she pondered for a moment and nodded. “Then, please lead the way, Hall Master Lin.”
Hall Master Lin’s eyes lit up slightly. “Mr. Jun truly understands righteousness. Please follow me.”
With that, they left the guest room.
While Hall Master Lin wasn’t paying attention, Gu Qingluan released Feng Tianian from the Stellar Space.
They had already discussed everything that needed to be explained in the Stellar Space.
They would stay in contact using the Transmission Jade Technique.
Gu Qingluan tried to delay as much time as possible, waiting for Feng Tianian to find the remaining souls of Xiaonan and Yuanxi and reunite with her.
As soon as Feng Tianian appeared, he immediately concealed himself in the shadows.
Once Gu Qingluan had followed Hall Master Lin some distance away, Feng Tianian left the tower..
