Chapter 988: Monster Hunt (26)
Gu Mansion
"I have ordered people to clean up two rooms in the east wing. Master Xuanyi and Master Yun should go to bed early."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. You should rest early."
Gu Jin smiled bitterly, "I would like to take a rest, but I still have some things to deal with in the shop."
Yun Shen seemed to be concerned and asked, "What happened to Mr. Gu's shop? Do you need any help?"
Gu Jin waved his hand, "No need to bother Mr. Yun, it's just a small matter. The cloth shop owner just reported that someone was causing trouble in my clothing shop, and I need to go there in person."
Yun Shen was "understanding" and said, "Business is more important. Mr. Gu, go and take care of the business in the shop."
Gu Jin looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "Then I will not personally escort you two to the wing room. I am sorry for that."
After Gu Jin finished speaking, he turned to look at the butler and ordered, "Butler, take Master Xuan Yi and Young Master Yun to the wing room."
The butler responded respectfully, "Yes, sir."
The butler bowed to Yun Shen and Xuan Yi and gestured for them to come. "Please follow me, both of you."
The butler sent Yun Shen and Xuan Yi to the side room and left.
After the butler left, Yun Shen transformed directly into his original form and climbed through the window into Xuan Yi's room.
Xuan Yi was not at all surprised by Yun Shen's sudden arrival. He reached out to catch Yun Shen as if it was nothing strange, and stroked the cat Yun Shen twice very naturally.
Yun Shen lay obediently in Xuan Yi's arms, but his words were very unruly, "A Yi didn't go to bed, is he waiting for me to come?"
Xuan Yi was already used to Yun Shen's "outrageous talk" and replied calmly, "Yes."
Without giving Yun Shen a chance to distort his words, Xuan Yi continued, "Do you want to follow Gu Jin, or take this opportunity to investigate the Gu Mansion?"
Yun Shen smiled and said, "Ayi really understands me more and more. Is it possible that we have a tacit understanding?"
Xuan Yi automatically filtered out Yun Shen's teasing and said to himself, "Gu Jin should have gone to Wanhua Tower."
Seeing that Xuan Yi didn't respond to him, Yun Shen gave up joking and got down to business.
"There is definitely something strange about that white porcelain vase. Gu Jin probably went to Wanhua Tower just for the white porcelain vase. As long as we follow Gu Jin, we should be able to uncover some of the mystery."
"But before we find out the true strength of Gu Jin, it's better not to confront him head-on, lest we both lose the game."
"Moreover, Gu Jin knew that we had noticed the white porcelain vase, so he would not blatantly take it away and arouse our suspicion. At most, he would just erase some key evidence related to the white porcelain vase."
Xuan Yi nodded, "Then let's explore the Gu Mansion first."
Xuan Yi and Yun Shen searched the Gu Mansion and actually found something.
There is a dark room in Gu Jin’s study, which contains many portraits of fox spirits, all of which are signed by Gu Jin.
Yun Shen pointed at the graceful fox demon in the portrait and said, "Gu Jin and the fox demon must be acquainted with each other."
Xuan Yi looked at the portrait with a strange expression. Could it be true, as Yun Shen said, that Gu Jin was connected with the fox demon?
Yun Shen guessed, "The demon hunters who came to Ningyuan County before failed to find the fox demon's hiding place. I think it was because Gu Jin deliberately diverted their attention and provided cover."
Xuan Yi echoed, "It seems that Gu Jin left the house tonight most likely to inform the fox demon."
Yun Shen said thoughtfully, "Does the fox demon's taking those people away have anything to do with Gu Jin?"
Xuan Yi pulled Yun Shen out of the dark room and said, "Let's go back to the room first."
