My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own Chapter 138 – Another Assassin

Chapter 138 Another Assassin

At that moment, Zhou Chang and Qin Han volunteered to stay behind at the venue of the convention.

As for Bing Ning and Yao Guang, they went to the outer market to stroll around, preparing to buy some things.

The Gu siblings said that they were going home. Since they were finally able to return to the capital, it wouldn't be right if they didn't see their family.

It seemed that they came from a rich family.

As for Ruan Qinghe, she had an impatient personality and liked to wander around.

If she could go out, no matter what she did, she felt that it was better than just waiting here.

Plus, since her family was not in the capital, she had nowhere else to go, so she followed Fang Yuan.

The place they were going to was a little far from the venue. It was the medical center in the west of the city.

The so-called medical center was naturally a place for Gu masters who specialized in healing Gu worms to earn the resources needed to nurture Gu worms.

This was the path of survival for Gu masters like them.

Without the ability of a battle type Gu master, they could not obtain materials by killing demon beasts, so they could only use this method to earn primeval stones.

Because of the Gu Dao convention, there were not many Gu masters roaming around in the city, and it was a little deserted.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

The few medical centers that they passed by were crowded with many people. They seemed to be Gu masters who were injured in the convention and were here to seek treatment.

Ruan Qinghe tilted her head and looked at the signboard above their shops, muttering to herself.

“Two Gu Medical Center, Three Gu Medical Center, Four Gu Medical Center… why are these people naming themselves so casually, and what does this mean?”

“It should be the number of healing type Gu worms they have. The more Gu worms they have, the more skilled they are in medicine. Of course, their fees might be higher as well.” Fang Yuan smiled, “Most secular Gu masters are straightforward. Putting up such a signboard is easy to understand.”

“Is that so…” Ruan Qinghe revealed a look of realization. “Then which one should we enter?”

Fang Yuan turned his gaze and pointed in a direction. “Over there.”

Ruan Qinghe looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the signboard said 'Six Gu Medical Center.'

To be able to raise six healing type Gu worms at the same time, their skills and financial ability were the top on this street.

Just as they were about to walk in, a young man with long hair and a gray robe walked out.

The man walked with his head lowered and did not notice that there was someone in front of him, and he bumped into Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan did not move at all while the man staggered back two steps. The medicinal bag in his hand fell and the contents scattered all over the ground. “Ah…”

The man raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan. His eyes lit up slightly, and then he quickly put away his pleasant surprise and showed an apologetic expression. “I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that there was someone outside. I'm sorry.”

“No worries.”

Fang Yuan waved his hand, using his spirit essence to collect the medicinal herbs on the ground, sending them to the other party.

“Thank you.”

The other party was very polite, bowing to Fang Yuan again before leaving.

Fang Yuan and Ruan Qinghe stepped into the medical center, and suddenly the Soul Devouring Gu in his acupoints gave off an inexplicable feeling of desire, causing him to stand still.

Ruan Qinghe took two steps forward and realized that he was not following her, so she asked, “Senior, what's wrong?” “I smell blood, and it is very dense.” “Ah?”

Ruan Qinghe looked around and found that there was no one in the medical center hall, but the door to the backyard was open. She could not help but say, “Maybe there is a Gu master in the backyard who has suffered a flesh injury and is being treated.”

Fang Yuan silently used True Sight Gu to look around and found that there was no trace of a living person in the backyard.

Obviously, the smell of blood came from a dead person.

His heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He did not even have the intention to go in and investigate. He directly pulled Ruan Qinghe out of the shop and turned into a side alley.

“Senior, what are…”

“There was something wrong with that person.”

Fang Yuan circulated his spirit essence in his palm and aimed it at the back of his waist.

Instantly, a small thing was sucked out of the black robe and fell into his hand.

(Enemy Locking Gu]: Can be hidden on the target to have a tracking effect. “That person… is your enemy?” Ruan Qinghe clearly recognized this Gu worm and immediately connected the dots. “I don't know him.”

Fang Yuan was also very confused, and he could only guess. “Maybe he's here to assassinate me, just like the group of people from last night.”

“An assassin… But how did he know we were here… I… I don't know him either.”

Ruan Qinghe was a little flustered. Since the assassin was able to find Fang Yuan at this time, didn't that mean she had a connection with the assassin?

“It should be a coincidence.” Fang Yuan patted her arm. “Don't panic, let's take a look at the situation first.”

Saying so, he put the Enemy Locking Gu back and pretended not to notice.

Ruan Qinghe bit her lips, feeling that she needed to prove her innocence. But just as she was about to speak, Fang Yuan covered her lips and pulled her into the darkness.

“Oh…”

Ruan Qinghe moaned. She was not prepared at all. She took an unsteady step forward and fell into Fang Yuan's arms.

She raised her head and saw the commander of the imperial guards on the street leading a team over.

She immediately stopped moving. Her pretty face was slightly red as she leaned against Fang Yuan's chest, feeling the warm and heart-palpitating touch. The commander of the guards sent people to charge into the Six Gu Medical Center. Soon, the guards returned and reported to the captain.

“Captain, the person is indeed dead, and the Gu worm was stolen. From the color of the blood, it should have been not long ago.”

The captain of the guards nodded in understanding, and he ordered. “Bring people to inquire about the situation of the Gu masters in the nearby shops. If there are any suspicious characters, report them to me. I need to go back and request for more people. The six Gu medical path support Gu master is dead, this is a big matter, we have to treat it seriously, do you understand?”

“Understood!”

The group of people agreed in unison. “Move out!”
