Chapter 2008 - 1587: Gu Changsheng Is Not Human at All!

"Master, what’s wrong? Have you found any hire postings most suitable for Brother Shui Mu and his group?" Yong Qing immediately asked, seeing his master look up, thinking there was a clue.

"No, I think I heard someone calling someone..." Alliance Leader Yong Qing’s old face looked confused with a solemn expression, shook his head, and mumbled.

"Calling someone? Master, are you kidding? This is the Mercenary Alliance’s territory, shouting loudly is prohibited. Who would dare..." Yong Qing said with a laugh, he hadn’t heard any sound at all, right?

Could it be that his master is aging? Experiencing illusory hearing?

"Naturally, you couldn’t hear it. It’s one of the Transformative Realm’s divine skills: secret whispering!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing anxiously walked out from behind the desk, furrowed his brows and pondered, "Shi Wujue! They are calling the name Shi Wujue..."

Gu Changsheng used secret whispering, which cannot be heard unless by masters of the Transformative Realm. However, coincidentally, there was indeed a master of the Transformative Realm within the Mercenary Alliance, none other than Alliance Leader Yong Qing who was angered to the point of nearly boiling a moment ago by Gu Changsheng!

Therefore, Alliance Leader Yong Qing could hear the sound clearly and unmistakably!

"Shi Wujue? The name Shi Wujue? Is he famous? How come this disciple hasn’t heard of him?" Yong Qing asked, raising his hand to scratch his head, looking puzzled.

"Very famous! Extremely famous!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing immediately leaned his hand on the desk and, gazing at Yong Qing, said in a deep voice, "You have never left Smelting City and are unaware of the world’s years below the mountain, but in this world, there is indeed someone named Shi Wujue..."

"Who? Who is so famous that even you know, Master?" Yong Shu asked immediately, blinking.

"Beyond the roaming nations, standing alone in the world, the Master of Linyuan City, Shi Wujue!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing lowered his gaze and recounted what he knew.

As a master of the Transformative Realm, Alliance Leader Yong Qing had traveled far and wide, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to transcend. With his strength, acquiring the knowledge of the world was not difficult...

Thus, the name Shi Wujue was very familiar to Alliance Leader Yong Qing...

Additionally, he had heard rumors of Shi Wujue’s recent actions...

"Arrogant and unrestrained, inherently haughty, a woman beyond the Transformative Realm... who travels alongside Shi Wujue..." Alliance Leader Yong Qing looked towards the source of the sound outside the building, his lips trembling more with each word, finally slapping his old face and exclaiming in surprise, "It’s her! It’s them! Never thought, the favored children of heaven like them, would one day gather in Smelting City, would lodge in our Mercenary Alliance!"

Southern Emperor Changsheng, Crown Prince Zhou Mu of Great Zhou, Master of Linyuan City Shi Wujue...

It’s them!

It must be them!

It is said that the Master of Linyuan City, along with Southern Emperor Changsheng and His Highness Mu, the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, left Linyuan City for Northern Mongolian to attend the Legitimate Princess Borjigin Nian’s alliance wedding. Now it seems, this statement is half-true, half-false. They indeed came towards Northern Mongolian, but not to the Royal City, but to Divine Mount Qilian in Southwestern North Mongol!

This discovery suddenly relieved Alliance Leader Yong Qing. Heaven knows how frustrating it was for him in his age to find that his cultivation isn’t even up to that of a woman. Yet, when this woman is Gu Changsheng, Alliance Leader Yong Qing suddenly felt everything was reasonable and easily accepted!

Who is Gu Changsheng? The Southern Emperor! And who is the Southern Emperor? A mysterious woman of the Central Plains!

To overturn the past and aspire to the Nine-Layer as a woman, is this something ordinary people can accomplish?

Absolutely not!

Therefore, thinking back on encountering Gu Changsheng today, it became apparent; Gu Changsheng was not an ordinary person! No, more accurately, Gu Changsheng is not considered a person!

Can a person commit such shameless acts?

The key point is she is the Southern Emperor!

As a Southern Emperor, to be so shameless, the expression of Alliance Leader Yong Qing—they could no longer describe his state of mind as merely impressed!

He’s practically about to prostrate himself, isn’t he?

"Quick, quick, quick! Easy and straightforward job listings! What on earth counts as an easy and straightforward job listing? Hurry and find it! If we don’t find the right one, it could lead to deaths!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing came to his senses, practically shouting this out loud!

Then, under Yong Shu’s uncertain gaze, he dived headfirst into the registry of job listings, causing a storm as he rifled through it.

Yong Shu scratched his head, looking utterly perplexed, "Who are they? Exactly who? Master, what’s wrong with you? You didn’t also get a Divine Soul Injury, did you?"

"Divine Soul Injury, my foot! This is way more serious than that! You don’t understand, so don’t ask. Are you just going to stand there as decoration? If you’re not going to help find a job listing, then get lost! Give me some light here!" Alliance Leader Yong Qing practically didn’t lift his head, anxiously rummaging through the registry while growling lowly.

Yong Shu saw this and was completely speechless. He felt that his master was always so capricious, making things up as he went, and now he’s doing it again!

Thus, Yong Shu didn’t take it to heart at all, turning around to busy himself with the aftermath in the main building!

Outside the main building, in the Mercenary Alliance, Gu Changsheng and his group were going crazy searching for Shi Wujue!

"Godfather, this is really deadly. Shi Wujue, don’t you dare get into any trouble. If something happens to you, it’ll be a real disaster!" Yuan Bao, holding Baby Jin Bao, was running around like a headless chicken, searching everywhere in the Mercenary Alliance for Shi Wujue’s figure.

"Hey, your name is Yuan Bao, right?" Baby Jin Bao tugged at Yuan Bao’s clothes, timidly asking.

"Yes!" Yuan Bao didn’t even glance at the little one in his arms, continuing to search for Shi Wujue’s figure.

"So Yuan Bao, tell me, why is Gu Changsheng so anxious as soon as Shi Wujue disappears? From what I see, Gu Changsheng and that evildoer are the real pair, so why is she so concerned about Shi Wujue?" Baby Jin Bao counted on his fingers one by one, "Isn’t it said that a woman can only have one man? Why does Gu Changsheng have two men?"

"Two, my foot! You little brat, what do you know about men and women?" Yuan Bao, hearing Baby Jin Bao’s words, immediately knocked on his little head, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shi Wujue has a great favor and feelings for my wife, and his current physical condition is very bad. According to his own words, he doesn’t have much time left and won’t live long! My wife once quietly instructed me to take good care of him, but I was too caught up in the commotion in the main building and ended up losing Shi Wujue..."

"But he’s a grown man, and his martial arts are so good, being a top-notch master, he should be fine. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill!" Baby Jin Bao said, his little face full of indifference.

"What do you know? Shi Wujue’s health is bad, very bad! My wife once suffered from a backlash of forbidden power, using up all her vitality, and it was Shi Wujue who cured her. However, my wife got better, and Shi Wujue ended up like he is now. Did you notice his white hair? I’ll tell you a secret; he relies on drinking the blood of Black Men daily to sustain his vitality! Heaven knows what may happen if he leaves people’s sight!" Yuan Bao became more urgent as he spoke, his pace quickening several steps in the search for Shi Wujue.

"What? A backlash, using up all vitality, and he could still cure it? Yuan Bao, are you kidding me? I may be young, but even I know that using up vitality is incurable, isn’t it?" Baby Jin Bao had a look of being deceived because of his age.

"Believe it or not, it is true. Otherwise, why would you think my wife regards Shi Wujue differently? He has a life-saving grace for my wife! A great grace, do you understand?" Yuan Bao retorted coldly.

"Great grace... I don’t understand... It just feels like there’s something fishy going on between them..." Baby Jin Bao shook his head, very certain as he spoke, "A woman who suffered from a backlash still being alive, don’t you think that’s strange? A man whose vitality was used up living again, don’t you think that’s strange?"

Baby Jin Bao blinked his big eyes, solemnly looking at Yuan Bao, and asked in a serious tone.

"What’s so strange about that?" Yuan Bao looked bewildered, feeling that at this moment, Baby Jin Bao was the strange one.

"The Heavenly Dao has its rules, the Great Dao has its locks and chains, those who touch them must die. This is the cycle of heaven! Even in the Post-Ancient Era, where the Heavenly is Flawed, the Great Dao has never been decadent, and how could they do such a thing? Don’t you find it strange?" Baby Jin Bao looked up at the sky, his face serious as he continued, based on their spirit’s perception, this was completely against common sense!

"Is it really that strange?" Yuan Bao, questioned by Baby Jin Bao, also started to feel a bit unsure.

"Very strange!" Baby Jin Bao nodded.

"And what does that imply?" Yuan Bao’s mouth twitched.

"What does it imply... What does it imply... It implies they’re not human!" Baby Jin Bao blinked excitedly, "I told you, Gu Changsheng is destined to become a god, for someone as defiant as her, if she doesn’t become a god, it would be against the heavenly principles. I guessed it right, otherwise, how could she still be alive after using up her vitality? How could backlash allow for continued vitality? Haha... I am indeed wise and mighty; following Gu Changsheng is definitely the right choice!"

"..." Yuan Bao looked at the joyfully exuberant Baby Jin Bao, now more convinced than ever that his wife’s relentless efforts to shake off Baby Jin Bao were indeed wise and mighty!

But right now, finding Shi Wujue is the top priority...
