Chapter 5 You See This
Even if Gu Yu had embezzled Lin Qianshan’s treasure, he still stood before Zhou Yi righteously, showing no signs of guilt.
Regardless of the treasure’s origin, now that it was in his hands, it was his.
Why should he feel guilty for obtaining a treasure through his own strength!
Therefore, Gu Yu couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips as he looked at Zhou Yi.
“Brother Zhou, we are already near Southern Border. Do you know where your master lives?”
“My master’s residence… I don’t know either.”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s question, Zhou Yi looked up with a troubled expression and scratched his head.
He wasn’t saying this to stay with Gu Yu, but he genuinely didn’t know where his master lived.
The reason was that his master was a restless person; even when living in Southern Border, he would change places every few days and never stayed in the same place for too long.
Zhou Yi had complained to his master about this many times, but it had no effect.
As for why he couldn’t settle in one place long-term, Zhou Yi simply thought it was because his master was still playful when he was young.
However, as he got older, he realized his master was indecent and often teased young women, especially widows, calling them “gege” and “meimei.”
This made Zhou Yi feel ashamed just watching. He thought that although his master’s appearance had not aged due to a fortunate encounter, his heart had also not aged!
However, women in Southern Border were not as demure as those in other places. Upon discovering Lin Qianshan had a woman in every port, they immediately came charging over furiously.
Then, it was constant moving and moving again…
“You don’t know where your master lives? Then how do we contact him?”
Gu Yu didn’t ask too many questions about what Zhou Yi said, but rather focused on how to contact Lin Qianshan.
When Zhou Yi heard Gu Yu’s question, he was no longer as hesitant as before and quickly stated the contact method.
“As soon as I arrive in Southern Border, my master will send someone to notify me. I don’t need to do anything; I just need to wait obediently.”
“How do you determine your location?”
“Look at this.”
Listening to Zhou Yi’s words, Gu Yu suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and continued to ask.
Afterward, Zhou Yi didn’t say much else but rolled up his sleeve.
Then, a small red mark was seen on his wrist.
When Zhou Yi raised his hand and pressed the red mark, it seemed to come alive, moving up, down, left, and right, causing Gu Yu to quickly step back several paces.
This red mark was likely a Gu worm.
As the saying goes, have you never eaten pork, but you’ve never seen a pig run!
Although Gu Yu didn’t have much knowledge about Gu worms, he had read novels before transmigrating, which had some introductions to Gu techniques.
Even if there were some exaggerations added, it did not affect Gu Yu’s understanding of Gu worms.
He felt that this thing was terrifying!
Seeing that Gu Yu did not like the Gu worm, Zhou Yi stopped fiddling with the red mark and quickly put down his sleeve.
“Because of this, there’s no need to worry. I’ll just go with you!”
At this moment, Gu Yu knew he couldn’t get any more information from Zhou Yi.
However, he also needed to ask about Zhou Yi’s knowledge of Southern Border.
Although “Gege” was very cooperative now and answered whatever he was asked, he was not very familiar with Southern Border.
In fact, among the Eighteen Villages, “Gege” only knew Zhongjia Village.
He was now considered a mountain bandit because others brought him along. Relying on his large physique, he managed to ascend to the position of bandit king.
Therefore, they were now in a difficult situation.
Without a suitable guide, this trip to Southern Border would be very unfavorable!
“Let’s set aside your master’s matter. Are you familiar with the Southern Border region? Because we don’t know anyone here, and the mountain bandits we just captured don’t know much either.”
“Yes, I’ve traveled all over Southern Border since I was young, so I’m very familiar with it! Wherever you want to go, I can lead the way.”
“We plan to go to Zhongjia Village this time, but we also need to stay on the outskirts of Southern Border for a few days. I’ll entrust this journey to you.”
“No problem.”
Seeing Zhou Yi readily agree, a large stone in Gu Yu’s heart was finally put down.
Although “Gege” claimed there was nothing on the outskirts of Southern Border, so many days had passed, who knew what the situation was like.
Therefore, they had to be more careful.
Just thinking about the Gu worms made Gu Yu’s whole body tingle. He hoped he wouldn’t encounter too many this time!
It was truly terrifying.
“A’Yu, how did it go?”
“I didn’t find out Lin Qianshan’s residence, but Zhou Yi is very familiar with this area of Southern Border. We can have him lead us through the outskirts of Southern Border towards Zhongjia Village.”
When Gu Yu rode back to Gu Mengyao’s side, he directly shared his conversation with Zhou Yi, letting Gu Mengyao know what had just happened.
Originally, Gu Yu’s biggest goal in going to find Zhou Yi was to find out where Lin Qianshan lived.
Once he found the location, he would follow him to see… if there were more Thousand-year Ice Silkworms.
Lin Qianshan could possess so many, even more than the Tianshan Sect. He wondered how he got them!
However, now that he knew Lin Qianshan lived in Southern Border, Gu Yu had some guesses.
He heard that the favorite food of the most powerful Miao疆 Gu worms was these Thousand-year Ice Silkworms.
If these ice silkworms were just food for the Gu worms, then Lin Qianshan must be a very powerful Gu master.
He would not be easy to deal with.
However, if they couldn’t trade with Lin Qianshan, Gu Yu felt he would have to resort to force!
Although Gu techniques were very powerful, Gu Yu’s medical skills were equally formidable.
Let alone a few worms, even if an evil dragon appeared, he could take it down with a handful of medicinal powder.
Not to mention, the newly obtained Medical Scripture also contained specific prescriptions to deal with Gu worms.
In short, they absolutely could not return empty-handed from this trip to Southern Border!
“Did Zhou Yi agree?”
“Of course he agreed, because he doesn’t know where his master lives either. He needs to use Gu worms to pinpoint the location, and then have someone come find Zhou Yi… During this time, Zhou Yi will follow the team.”
When Gu Mengyao heard what Gu Yu said, she also felt relieved and had more confidence in the upcoming journey.
With a local like Zhou Yi leading the way, they would likely be able to avoid a lot of danger.
These Imperial Guards who followed were all trained by her personally. If anything happened in Southern Border, Gu Mengyao would be very sad.
They were all her soldiers; nothing must happen to them!
“That’s good. From now on, I will have them be even more careful!”
“Mm, Mengyao, don’t overthink it! What ‘Gege’ said felt a bit exaggerated. When we get there…”
“Report! Instructor Gu, a corpse has been discovered ahead! After inspection, it was found to have died not long ago!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to comfort his “little wife,” an Imperial Guard suddenly rode over.
The words that followed made Gu Yu twitch his lips, thinking how quickly trouble had arrived!
