CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 293: THE TRUTH IS IN MY HANDS

"Team leader?"

Shang Huo was slightly surprised.

He didn’t expect to encounter the team leader here.

Gu An nodded, calmly looking at the person in front of him. Shang Huo was a man of few words, but diligent, without much ambition.

He probably didn’t have any powerful backers.

Being able to work in the second team involved some luck.

But it was mostly because the former team leader took a liking to him.

After all, such a person can get things done without causing trouble.

Convenient and reassuring to employ.

"Was that just your friend?" Gu An got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Shang Huo looked surprised, then shook his head and said, "It was a senior who has shown me kindness."

"Did you give away all your Spirit Stones?" Gu An asked again.

Shang Huo nodded and said, "She was the one who initially got me into the Inner Sect, so..."

Gu An fell silent for a moment, then said, "If she comes to borrow Spirit Stones from you again, will you lend them to her?"

Shang Huo shook his head: "I don’t have any Spirit Stones left."

Gu An did not say anything more and let him go back.

Originally, he wanted to reveal the true face of this senior sister to the other party.

But after pondering, he decided to let it be.

The other party was Shang Huo’s guide to the Inner Sect.

For him, she indeed was a benefactor.

Lending out Spirit Stones was not unworthy of consideration, and which young man doesn’t harbor excitement?

Especially for someone who had helped him, a beautiful Immortal at that.

It was inevitable to have some thoughts.

Not to mention she was approaching him intentionally, saying things that spark romantic fancy.

For Shang Huo, this was also a time of beautiful memories tinged with excitement.

Even if it’s a Dream, to rashly shatter it seemed rather cruel.

Especially since this situation was initiated by himself.

There was no need to make others suffer, to feel the cruelty of this world.

Afterward, Gu An went towards Shang Huo’s residence.

A short while later, he came out from the other party’s place.

He carried an odd Magic Treasure carving and a talisman that he didn’t know if it was effective or not.

With that, he headed towards the door.

This long-term undercover mission should also yield some results.

On the other side.

Zhang Qing walked on her way back, feeling a bit disappointed: "Just five thousand Spirit Stones; isn’t the Sixth Courtyard of the backyard said to be extremely wealthy? It seems that rumors can’t be trusted, the wealthy ones are probably not those at the bottom."

Thinking this, she felt that if she could make the dean of the First Institute willingly hand over Spirit Stones,

That would certainly save her decades of struggle.

But five thousand is also alright, not only profiting but also dispelling suspicions, it could be described as reaping multiple benefits.

It just required saying a few sweet words to that ordinary and inferior waste.

"Talking to him disgusts me, sickening."

Zhang Qing sighed as she pushed open the door.

She felt that she had been tainted these past few days.

But now she was free.

That also meant she was clean.

But just as she opened the door, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked warily at the person who suddenly appeared inside: "Who are you?"

Gu An sat on a high chair, looking at the woman at the doorway and said, "Don’t you recognize me? Then, do you recognize these things?"

Saying so, Gu An tossed the things onto the ground.

These were the rudimentary Magic Treasure and talisman he had gotten from Shang Huo.

So ordinary, even when framing someone they were stingy, truly just finding an excuse, then having someone strike at oneself.

Then administer poison.

Do they think like this they can dispel their suspicion?

With the Law Enforcement Hall intervening, pressured by the Merit Hall, these false accusations will become their own inciting fuse.

Bringing about their own doom.

Seducing someone like Shang Huo with beauty might work, but it would fall short when dealing with the Law Enforcement Hall.

"What are these things?" A flicker of panic passed through Zhang Qing’s eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and questioned, "Elder Brother barging into my residence unannounced, are you intending to act inappropriately?"

"Accusing Shang Huo and also deceiving him out of his Spirit Stones, isn’t that a bit too much?" Gu An asked.

"Too much?" Zhang Qing saw that the person in front of her knew everything, discreetly notified her senior sister, and sneered, "Elder Brother is the Dean of the First Institute, how can you say something so naive? He admires me, I saw it at first glance.

I took the initiative to contact him, even though it was to my disadvantage.

He gave me Spirit Stones voluntarily, did I force him? Or did I threaten him?

He himself is foolish and willing to pay, am I to blame for being unkind?

What logic is that?

If he hadn’t had thoughts about me, how could I have so easily taken advantage?

Taking his Spirit Stones is me showing him respect, maybe he even secretly feels pleased.

Accusing him naturally highlights his value.

Whether he’s happy or suffering, what does that have to do with me?

That’s something he brought on himself.

As for whether it’s genuine or not, that has nothing to do with me.

Did I make him treat me sincerely? Did I force him to give the Spirit Stones?

Weren’t all his actions voluntary?

Since it’s voluntary, whatever consequences arise, it’s his own responsibility.

Saying I’m excessive, doesn’t that make Elder Brother seem hypocritical?"

Listening to her words, Gu An’s expression did not change in the slightest: "Junior Sister does make some sense."

Then suddenly.

Gu An stepped forward, coming right in front of her.

Then, with lightning speed, his hand moved up and down.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed.

Zhang Qing’s whole body tilted from her face to her body, almost unable to stand stable.

At this moment, she covered her face, raised her eyebrows, and looked at the person in front of her, eyes burning with anger.

"You’re seeking death."

Saying so, power condensed in her hands, lightning surged around her, ready to crush the person in front of her with thunderous force.

However, Gu An was quicker, pressing down on her head, then forcefully pushing down.

Bang!

A heavy collision sound arose.

Gu An looked at her frightened and angry expression and said, "Junior Sister, what’s with that look? Since I so rashly entered your residence, isn’t that to tell you I’m harboring ill intentions?

And if Junior Sister doesn’t leave, isn’t that voluntarily staying?"
