Chapter 177 -101 Secret Sect Shang Clan Rumors_2
“Gone? How could he possibly be gone? I received a message from the Master this morning telling me to have the carriage ready for him, how could he just leave?” Yuan Bao was on the verge of tears; he had passed by his own house without entering when he came, and when he left, he didn’t even say goodbye.
Is this still his master?
“You brought the carriage?” Gu Changsheng looked at the dejected Yuan Bao with wide eyes.
“Yes, the Master asked me to send a spacious and comfortable carriage, but he ended up leaving first…”
“Hehe, your master didn’t leave first, he had already left by midnight yesterday…” Such was the harsh reality…
“Then why did the Master even ask me to prepare the carriage?” Yuan Bao sniffled.
“I need to go out tomorrow; the carriage will be just perfect for my use. This is like falling asleep and someone giving you a pillow, so convenient!” Gu Changsheng smiled contentedly.
“What do you mean ‘falling asleep and someone giving you a pillow,’ it was clearly the Master mentioning it for you to prepare.”
“Alright, alright, he came back secretly and left without notifying many; you better not dwell on the painful departure. Xiao Leizi, hurry and get an extra set of dishes, let’s eat!” Gu Changsheng gestured to Yuan Bao and tried to distract him with food.
Sure enough, Yuan Bao did not disappoint her; as soon as he heard the mention of a meal, he immediately lost his abandoned sadness and hustled to an empty spot to sit down.
After breakfast, Gu Changsheng went back to the courtyard to delight in watching Yue Xilou torment his disciple.
Yue Xilou’s demands on Gu Ze were much stricter than Gu Changsheng’s. Foundational practice such as hitting targets was naturally essential. For such skills that did not involve the sect’s secret techniques, he did not mind giving Han Mo some pointers as well.
Little Meat Bun and Han Mo, inseparably linked by misfortune, stuck in the courtyard under the autumn sun, their foreheads gradually beaded with sweat.
Gu Changsheng and Yue Xilou sat leisurely under the corridor, enjoying their tea.
“Where are you headed to?” Yue Xilou flicked a breeze that made Little Meat Bun’s shaky little body dare not move an inch.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng shifted his gaze from his son to Yue Xilou, “You didn’t ask me, but I was about to ask you. Flower Peacock, in the Itinerant World, is there any famous fortune teller?”
Evildoer Zhou had earnestly instructed her to find a fortune teller, one naturally renowned and famous far and wide.
“A fortune teller?” Yue Xilou looked at Gu Changsheng in puzzlement, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“The evildoer asked me to go to Ju Frost to find a fortune teller.” Gu Changsheng shrugged and replied truthfully.
“Zhou Mu asked you to find a fortune teller?” Yue Xilou’s extremely beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, “The Itinerant World mostly deals with the fighting factions’ disputes; fortune-telling is often explored by those in Taoism and Mysticism, but I’ve not heard of any truly exceptional individuals.”
“That shouldn’t be…” Scratching his head, Gu Changsheng looked towards Yue Xilou, “Have you heard of someone named Shang Xie?”
As soon as Gu Changsheng’s words fell, Yue Xilou’s expression changed and he spoke in a lower voice, “Did Zhou Mu tell you about this person?”
“Yes.” Gu Changsheng nodded, “Do you know of him too?”
“No, I don’t know this person. The secrets of the martial world, ten years ago there was a disturbance in the dragon veins of Dragon Breath Mountain, attracting countless birds to circle the mountain for forty-nine days. It was then that the Hidden World Families of the Secret Sect lineage bore a son, and their surname is precisely Shang!”
“What happened next?”
“Afterwards, the news alarmed the Capital City. People rumored that this child was a true dragon manifested, which had brought about the Image of the Phoenix Rite. Troubled, the Emperor secretly ordered the army to sweep through Dragon Breath Mountain, and since then the Secret Sect lineage ceased to exist!” Yue Xilou’s face showed a hint of regret.
“This is getting more and more fantastical, dragon veins? Secret Sect? What in the world…” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help the twitch of his lips after hearing.
“Believe it or not, that’s how it is reported; the tale says that the last person from the Secret Sect to emerge, named Shang Qing, was able to command the winds and summon the rain, transform seeds into soldiers, allowing the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to win battle after battle and thus overthrow the former dynasty…”
“The more you talk, the more bizarre it sounds! I admit that there might be extraordinary people who can foresee the elements and predict storms, but transforming seeds into soldiers, that’s absolute nonsense!” Of course, there are some people gifted out of the ordinary, possessing some scientifically inexplicable supernatural abilities…
“Hehe, I didn’t really believe it either, but the rumors are indeed marvellous, and it’s precisely because of this that the Imperial Family feared the Secret Sect and eventually led to their being wiped out all at once.”

“It’s not entirely so, the evildoer asked me to find someone named Shang Xie, and it’s the first time I’ve heard this surname, probably just like that Secret Sect survivor you mentioned.” Gu Changsheng propped his cheek, sharing his speculation.
“Right, the surname Shang is indeed rare; fitting into Zhou Mu’s eyes, it must be related to the Secret Sect lineage.” Yue Xilou seriously nodded, “If we can have the fortune to meet a descendant of the Secret Sect, I would be benefiting from your light.”
The Secret Sect, a legendary existence in the martial world!
“Don’t hold out too much hope, according to the evildoer, we’re looking for a fortune teller, and you said it yourself, Mysticism is often the domain of those in Taoism, it might just be a Taoist, or even more likely, a charlatan…” Unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng suddenly thought of a saying from his past life: I’m not a fortune teller under the Sky Bridge, I can’t spin endless tales you’d love to hear!
So mystifying!
“What are you spacing out for? Whether it’s as we speculate or not, we’ll know once we go to Ju Frost tomorrow.” Yue Xilou glanced at his lazy disciple who took advantage of their conversation to slack off and spoke sternly, “Gu Ze, if you dare to slack off again, you’ll have no lunch today!”
Gu Changsheng watched with schadenfreude as his own son straightened his target with a pained face, and also watched the shameless master who boldly threatened his own son, silently nodding his head.
A strict master leads to an outstanding disciple! She was sure she’d have an outstanding son!
