As soon as Gongsun Tu spoke, the other five people surrounded Gu Xuan and Ye 'er, whether intentionally or not.
Their meaning was clear. If they didn't answer the question, they would treat their identities as vice leaders as fake.
As for how to deal with them, that was — kill them!
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking calm and composed.
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll be merciful and answer your question.
Tell me, what question do you have for me? "
Gongsun Tu's "answer your question" became "ask for advice" in Gu Xuan's mouth.
Moreover, Gu Xuan said it so confidently.
His eyes were full of disdain as he spoke, as if he had seen through all of their little tricks.
His behavior angered Gongsun Tu and the other five, but also made them tremble in fear.
This Young Master Xuan was too confident.
If Zhang Xuan's identity was real, just the crime of questioning the vice hall master would be enough to put them in a tough spot.
However, they had no choice. Who would dare to bring Gu Xuan to the 91st floor without confirming his identity?
They would be in danger of losing their heads.
Gongsun Tu said uneasily, "The Hallmaster is a rare genius in the world. Needless to say, he has great attainments in formations and alchemy as well.
However, it's said that Vice Leader Wen and Vice Leader Tang have no interest in them at all. The leader has been furious many times.
I wonder if it's true? "
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled at Gongsun Tu.
The question seemed to only require a "true" or "false" answer, but it was actually a huge trap.
The leader had never lost his temper with Vice Leader Tang. He had only lost his temper with Vice Leader Wen.
However, in Gongsun Tu's mouth, he had lost his temper with both of them.
This was the brilliance of Gongsun Tu's question.
"You're quite gossipy. Let Fairy Dongshi ask such questions in the future.
After all, it's a woman's nature to gossip. It won't be awkward.
You're a three-foot man. It's not good for you to be so gossipy. "
Gu Xuan recalled the words of the six during their discussion and quickly organized his words.
However, when everyone heard the word 'three feet' from his mouth, they all looked like they were trying to stifle their laughter.
Gongsun Tu's face turned blue.
Gu Xuan continued, "My martial niece Wen and martial niece Tang …"
"Wait, what do you mean?
Aren't you the Vice Palace Master? Shouldn't Vice Hall Master Wen and Vice Hall Master Tang be your Senior Brothers?
How did he become your martial nephew?
You look younger than the two Vice Palace Masters, don't you? "
Gongsun Tu interrupted.
Gu Xuan glared at Gongsun Tu. His words were shocking.
"Do I need you to remind me of my relationship with the two Vice Palace Masters?
Do you know why you don't even know of my existence?
The fact that your status is low is only a secondary reason.
The main reason is that my status is too high!
Your Hall Master and I are not master and disciple, but senior and junior brothers.
You don't need to know the secret behind this. In short, don't interrupt. "
Gu Xuan's words made Gongsun Tu and the other five look bewildered.
They had thought that Gu Xuan's identity as the Hall Master's youngest disciple was the limit.
They had never expected him to say that he was the Hall Master's Junior Brother.
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the effect he wanted.
Since he had started to bluff, he naturally had to make a big bluff.
"My martial niece Wen and martial niece Tang have no talent in pill dao, but martial niece Tang is obsessed with formations.
Senior Brother is satisfied with his formation dao cultivation.
The one who angered senior brother is my martial niece Wen.
It's fine if he doesn't like pill dao or formations, but he chose to learn the art of refining, and what he refined were all weird things.
There were a few times when he even slept on the same bed as a puppet fairy. It was ridiculous, and that angered senior brother.
This matter is extremely secretive, and I'm only doing this to satisfy your curiosity. If you dare to spread it, haha! "
Gu Xuan was almost gritting his teeth when he said the last two words.
The threat in his words was self-evident.
Ninety percent of Gu Xuan's answer was obtained from the discussion between Gongsun Tu and the others.
Vice Hallmaster Wen had indeed angered the Hall Master several times because of the art of refining.
He had answered Gongsun Tu's question. A correct answer would earn him a hundred points and eliminate twenty percent of the suspicion in everyone's hearts.
However, Gu Xuan wouldn't take such an ordinary path.
Therefore, he made up a story about Vice Hallmaster Wen and the puppet fairy sleeping on the same bed.
This was where Gu Xuan's brilliance lay.
Not only would he reveal a secret that everyone knew, but he would also reveal a secret that no one knew, or even dared to know.
There was no way to prove the truth of such a thing, and Gongsun Tu and the others didn't dare ask anyone else for confirmation.
Otherwise, the Hall Master and Vice Hallmaster Wen would have the urge to silence them if they heard the slightest rustle of grass.
Fear was written all over the faces of Gongsun Tu and the others.
How would they dare to know such a secret?
Just knowing about this matter would put him at risk of being silenced!
Gu Xuan chuckled, looking as if his evil plan had succeeded.
"Haha, I've been holding it in for too long. Now that I've revealed it, I feel much better."
The faces of Gongsun Tu and the others turned green.
You're happy, but we're not happy!
However, discomfort being discomfort, their suspicions towards Gu Xuan were already reduced by 30%.
However, they now hoped that Gu Xuan's identity as Vice Hallmaster was fake.
Only if it was fake would it mean that the secret they'd just heard was also fake. Only then would they feel at ease!
"Cough cough, Young Master Xuan, you must be joking. We won't take this seriously."
Gongsun Tu wasn't stupid. He insisted that Gu Xuan was only joking.
"I still have something to ask you, sir.
Do you know who killed Dao Guihai, the Emissary of the Heavenly Dao, the commander of the guards of the World Suppression Prefecture in the south? "
"Tsk tsk, Dao Guihai's death is a great secret.
Are you sure you want to hear it? Won't you regret it? "
Gu Xuan seemed to be in a difficult position.
Gongsun Tu and the others' eyes flashed.
Although this secret was indeed a secret, only two out of the six of them knew about it before.
However, there was no reason not to know about a Vice Hallmaster.
If Gu Xuan didn't know, then he was almost certain that he was a fake!
"I don't regret it. Please tell me, Young Master Xuan."
Gongsun Tu pressed.
Gu Xuan rested his chin on his hand.
"In that case, I'll tell you.
Dao Guihai wasn't a true Emissary of the Heavenly Dao. He was a spy sent by the Blood God Hall to the World Suppression Prefecture in the south! Commonly known as a spy!
His death wasn't caused by the Blood God Hall. The people of the World Suppression Prefecture in the south discovered his identity as a spy and had no choice but to self-destruct.
Although he's dead, the World Suppression Prefecture in the south, the territory of one of the four World Suppression Angels, had a spy from the Blood God Hall. It's too embarrassing if word gets out.
Therefore, to save face, the World Suppression Prefecture in the south insisted that Dao Guihai was one of them and that he was killed by a sneak attack from the Blood God Hall. "
It was another perfect answer.
Gongsun Tu and the others' suspicions about Gu Xuan lessened by thirty percent.
However, Gu Xuan laughed and changed the topic when he spoke until this point.
"Actually, this is just a set of excuses from the Blood God Hall.
The truth isn't just that.
Dao Guihai had been in the World Suppression Prefecture for tens of thousands of years. How did he suddenly get exposed?
Actually, it's all because of my Martial Nephew Tang. The fairy he likes and this Sea Returning Saber made him a cuckold.
Martial Nephew Tang is a sentimental person. How could he tolerate this?
First, he killed that fairy, then deliberately exposed Dao Guihai's identity and caused him to self-destruct.
Speaking of which, it's all a sin.
This is an extremely secretive matter. Don't talk about it. It doesn't matter if I talk about it, but if you talk about it, you'll be killed.
Haha, I feel better now. "
Gu Xuan had a refreshed look on his face and actually urged him.
"What other questions do you have? Hurry up. I can't wait to answer them. "
