Due to Gu Xi’s special identity, no matter how the forces behind him tried to find out, the people of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce did not divulge anything. After all, other than Fan Baohua and a few other high-ranking officials, no one knew Gu Xi’s true identity.
Fan Baohua, this old fox, spoke and did things flawlessly. If they could not find any useful information, they could not just tie him up and interrogate him. If that was really the case, they were afraid that they would become enemies with the mysterious and powerful forces that stand together with the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, the other forces could only return resentfully.
Wu Huaqing and the others were like they were in a dream. They did not even notice when the auction had ended, but Fan Baohua had been waiting for a long time. With Gu Xi’s reminder, he naturally would not neglect this group of people.
“Elder Wu, please come this way.”
At least there was a protective array inside the private room. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he felt an invisible pressure. Streams of spiritual sense swept over, and the powerful pressure disappeared in a flash. However, he felt as if his entire person was exposed.
It was as if all the secrets were exposed.
Wu Huaqing and the others all had secrets in their hearts. If these people who coveted the Flawless pill knew that they were in contact with Gu Xi, and were even the personal disciples of the Sect Master, they did not dare to imagine what would happen.
It was very common to kill people and steal treasures in the world of cultivators. Moreover, they were just a small Supreme Purity Sect, and they could easily be dealt with.
The others walked out with their heads bowed, as if they were guilty of being thieves, or as if they were children carrying gold in their arms.
“Elder Wu, please rest assured. The information about the auction guests in our Chamber of Commerce is very confidential. We will definitely not reveal any information.”
Fan Baohua saw that Wu Huaqing was sweating profusely and seemed to know what he was worried about, so he comforted him.
With these words, although Wu Huaqing still felt a little uneasy, he felt much better than before. “Sorry to trouble you, Manager Fan.”
The smile on Fan Baohua’s face became even more genuine. “These are all things that we should do.”
He glanced at Wu Huaqing and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. “From the way Elder Wu looks, it seems that you are also very surprised that Gu Xi was able to take out such a pill?”
Wu Huaqing revealed a helpless smile and did not answer. Before things became clear, he knew very well that there were many mistakes to be made. Moreover, Fan Baohua had shown great respect to Gu Xi and was trying his best to win him over.
However, he did not dare to bet on the future of the entire Supreme Purity Sect. Moreover, he really did not know about these things.
Seeing that Wu Huaqing did not reply, Fan Baohua did not mind. He tactfully changed the topic to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward. Otherwise, how could he become the manager of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce? He was very skillful in grasping people’s hearts.
“Elder Wu, please wait a moment. Young Master Gu will be here soon.”
Fan Baohua brought them to the VIP reception room and left. After he left, the crowd was like a pot that had exploded from vigorous boiling.
“Elder, what is going on? What is the background of Senior Brother Gu? Does he actually have a Master? He can even refine Flawless quality pills?”
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Gu to have such a great background. If that’s the case, why would he willingly bow down to our Supreme Purity Sect?”
“That’s right. Moreover, Senior Brother Gu was an anonymous disciple before he was accepted as the Sect Master’s personal disciple. No matter how you look at it, it’s a little strange.”
Everyone was talking about it, and countless doubts emerged. However, they did not know that Wu Huaqing’s confusion was the same as theirs.
It was not unheard of for people in the world of cultivation who had multiple masters at the same time, but in the end, it was still a minority. No one wanted their disciple to be half-hearted and inherit someone else’s mantle before he had even learned the ability.
Special circumstances could not be excluded, such as obtaining the inheritance of a powerful figure in the Mystic Realm. However, Gu Xi had already joined the Supreme Purity Sect and was accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, so it would be inappropriate for him to look for another master.
From the current situation, the master he was talking about should be someone he had already acknowledged before he entered the Supreme Purity Sect.
“A powerful figure who can refine Flawless pills as this has already surpassed Alchemy Emperor. He should be proud and arrogant. Why would he allow his disciple to join the Supreme Purity Sect…”
Wu Huaqing could not help but sigh. Logically speaking, he should be happy. After all, no matter what, he would be able to form a relationship with a mysterious powerful figure.
However, when he thought of those factions that were eyeing the Flawless pill covetously, he felt somewhat worried.
Wu Huaqing’s expression instantly became extremely solemn. “I want you all to swear a blood oath with your inner demons. You can not divulge any information about what happened today or about Gu Xi.”
The blood oath with your inner demons could be said to be the most powerful and most poisonous oath. Once you violated it, you would die and your Dao would vanish. Moreover, even your soul would be suppressed by your inner demons and you would never be able to reincarnate.
Everyone’s hearts trembled. When they met Wu Huaqing’s stern and determined gaze, they knew that he was not joking.
Even though these disciples were the core of the sect and would never betray the sect, Wu Huaqing did not dare to gamble. He could not gamble either. If he was about to step into the wrong path, Gu Xi might have ways to escape. However, the entire sect would be in deep trouble.
Not to mention the Demon Region, any random force on the fourth level could wipe them out completely. He had no choice but to make this decision.
As the disciples made their inner demon blood oath one by one, Wu Huaqing said apologetically, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just for the sake of the sect. After all, this matter involves a lot of people. If you reveal even the slightest bit of it, the sect will be doomed.”
He did not have powerful strength, but he was involved with the legendary medicinal pills. There was no need to think about what would happen.
Just as everyone was discussing, someone suddenly shouted, “Senior Brother Gu is here!”
