Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Secret!

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Xu Pingchang’s face instantly turned pale.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhou Yu said lightly:

"Why are you here?"

"I..."

Xu Pingchang struggled for a moment under Zhou Yu’s gaze, but eventually, he obediently said,

"I... was ordered by my family to come and subdue the Blood Gu Clan!"

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t expected the Kyoto Xu Family to cross several provinces and dispatch people so far to deal with the Blood Gu Clan, which surprised him.

"Does your Kyoto Xu Family have a deep-seated hatred with the Blood Gu Clan?"

Xu Pingchang shook his head:

"Not exactly a blood feud."

"It’s just that the Vajra Gu of the Blood Nobility is of great use to our Xu Family, so we must subdue the Blood Gu Clan and have them fully cultivate Vajra Gu for us."

"Vajra Gu?"

Unexpectedly, the Xu Family was after this!

"Why is your Xu Family so eager to obtain the Vajra Gu?"

"This... I don’t know."

"I just heard from my elders that the situation in the Capital City is unstable, and there will be significant upheaval in the near future, so we must accumulate power in advance."

"Upheaval?"

"What impending upheaval?"

Xu Pingchang shook his head and replied.

"I really don’t know."

"This is absolute secrecy, and even within our Xu Family, only a few people know."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

His Divine Touch had been observing Xu Pingchang the entire time.

He was certain Xu Pingchang wasn’t lying.

Yet, what was this so-called upheaval?

Zhou Yu’s eyes flickered with depth.

At this moment, Xu Pingchang took a deep breath and said,

"Zhou Yu, you’d better let me go quickly, or you’ll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

"You still dare to threaten me?"

Xu Pingchang shook his head and said:

"I’m really not threatening you."

"This Blood Gu Clan quest is crucial for our Xu Family, so the family has also implemented strict protective measures."

"If I’m missing for too long, my family will immediately receive news."

"By then, they will surely send even more formidable experts."

"Zhou Yu, I know your capabilities are extraordinary, and even Old Li and the others are not your opponents, but I must tell you, our Xu Family has beings even mightier than them."

"Once they take action, even if you manage to escape, those around you will suffer."

"I am really not trying to threaten you."

Xu Pingchang’s tone was full of pleading.

It was clear that he wasn’t threatening but trying to save himself.

Zhou Yu’s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke:

"Since you’re planning to subdue the Blood Gu Clan, you surely know the way to enter, right?"

However, Xu Pingchang shook his head.

"I don’t know."

"Don’t know?" A cold light flashed instantly in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Xu Pingchang was startled and quickly explained:

"I really don’t know how to enter the Blood Gu Clan, but our Kyoto Xu Family has an insider in the Blood Gu Clan."

"He will guide us into the Blood Gu Clan."

"Insider?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Who?"

"I only know him... he’s called Hei Gu."

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Yu had no reaction, but Yun Feifei beside him turned pale instantly.

Even her breathing grew rapid.

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Sister Yun, you... what’s wrong?"

Yun Feifei, with red eyes, said:

"This Hei Gu is the enemy who destroyed my family."

Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned, then gently patted Yun Feifei’s shoulder.

"Sister Yun, rest assured, I will help you get revenge."

Yun Feifei nodded.

"Thank you, Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Pingchang and said coldly.

"How do you contact Hei Gu?"

Xu Pingchang shook his head:

"I can’t contact him. He’s always been in touch with the elders in our family, and this time, upon entering the Blood Gu Clan, we are just following his instructions, waiting at a specific place where he deems appropriate to appear and then lead us into the Blood Gu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.

This Hei Gu seemed quite cautious.

If that’s the case, it could indeed be troublesome.

At this moment, the Valley Master and the Great Elder also came out.

They had just taken Healing Pills separately. The effect of Medicine King Valley’s Healing Pills was unquestionable, and the state of the duo had noticeably recovered.

Seeing Zhou Yu interrogating Xu Pingchang, the Valley Master quickly asked:

"Young friend Zhou, what do you plan to do with this person?"

A cold light flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes as he considered whether to eliminate Xu Pingchang directly.

Perhaps sensing Zhou Yu’s murderous intent, Xu Pingchang panicked.

He quickly said,

"Zhou Yu, release me, and I can tell you a secret."

"A secret?"

Zhou Yu asked impassively,

"What secret could be worth your life?"

"Promise you won’t kill me first," Xu Pingchang bargained.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me?"

"Stop the nonsense, either speak up or I’ll send you on your way now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Pingchang trembled with anger, but he didn’t dare to push Zhou Yu’s limits.

Finally, he had no choice but to lower his head.

"The secret is related to the Kyoto Yan Family’s third Miss who was about to marry Lin Wanhao of the Yan City Lin Family back in the day."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart was stirred.

He remembered that Bai Yuzhen had told him that before she and Lin Wanhao married, the Kyoto Yan Family’s third Miss had also passionately pursued Lin Wanhao, but was ultimately rejected by him.

It should be noted that this was over twenty years ago when the Yan City Lin Family was far less influential than it is now. Meanwhile, the Kyoto Yan Family was a top-notch family throughout the Dragon Country.

Given such a disparity between the two, why would the Yan Family’s Third Miss take an interest in Lin Wanhao?

This question had been posed by Zhou Yu to Bai Yuzhen back then, but even Bai Yuzhen didn’t know the answer.

Zhou Yu always felt that this matter was not simple and might be connected to why the old man wanted him to protect the Lin Family.

Unexpectedly, Xu Pingchang knew.

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Pingchang and said expressionlessly.

"Continue."
