In the empty restaurant.

The two found a clean place to sit down, and then took off the hats that covered their faces.

Under the hats, there was a man and a woman, but their temperaments were completely different.

The man was about 40 years old, with a stern face, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and thin lips tightly pursed. He was intimidating without anger, and people dared not approach him easily.

The woman who was with him looked like a girl, with delicate features as if carefully carved, and a slightly chubby cheek that made her look more cute and naive.

A pair of black eyes were smart and cunning, and she looked around curiously like a deer in the woods, adding a touch of vitality to this slightly dull restaurant.

Perhaps because they had been waiting for a long time, the waiter did not come forward to greet them.

The baby-faced girl frowned slightly, waved her hand gently, and called out crisply:

"Waiter, order the dishes."

The voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, but like thunder, the face of the shopkeeper who was hiding behind the counter and peeking suddenly changed.

When the two men came in earlier, he still had a glimmer of luck in his heart, hoping that the two men would see that the restaurant was so deserted and would be able to sense something strange and retreat.

But he did not expect that they seemed to be completely unaware and really sat down to order dishes!

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper complained in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If these two men disturbed the interest of the living devil and angered him, wouldn't his small shop be in trouble?

He did not dare to move rashly, so he had to cast his inquiring eyes on the young man in black who was drinking alone.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Gu Cheng took a sip of wine leisurely and said lightly:

"Your store is closed?"

The shopkeeper was as if pardoned when he heard this. He hurriedly nodded and bowed to greet the two guests, and greeted them attentively.

Gu Cheng drank the wine while looking at the two people in front of him calmly.

With his powerful divine perception, he had already figured out the details of the other party.

The middle-aged man had a majestic aura like a mountain, and his blood and qi were surging in his body, like magma rolling.

Although he didn't look strong, the energy contained in his body was probably not inferior to the peak demon in the innate realm!

It was obviously a great master of body refining who had tempered his body to the extreme and reached the peak of the innate realm!

Gu Cheng was secretly amazed. Although he was also a body refining cultivator, his strength was at least two levels stronger than the leader of the Iron Tiger Gang whom he had killed casually before.

Even if he faced her, without using all kinds of trump cards, he would probably have to use at least 70% of his strength to defeat her.

Although the other girl's aura was slightly weaker, she had just entered the Xiantian realm.

But judging from her age, she was obviously a genius who was not inferior to Tang Lingyu.

Gu Cheng's eyes stayed on her for a while longer, and he keenly noticed that the girl had an unusual aura hidden in her body, and it was obvious that she was carrying a rare treasure.

As if sensing his gaze,

the baby-faced girl raised her head and met Gu Cheng's eyes in mid-air. After a brief surprise, the corners of the boy's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet and healing smile.

The next moment, the girl actually stood up and walked straight towards Gu Cheng.

The shopkeeper on the side was frightened, fearing that the girl's actions would anger this evil star. However, the next scene surprised him.

Gu Cheng and the baby-faced girl talked happily, and soon they exchanged names, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

The shopkeeper was relieved, but couldn't help complaining in his heart:

This gentleman is really hypocritical. He was also disturbed while eating, but the other party was replaced by a beautiful and sweet-voiced beauty. You are so easy to talk to?

...

"Mr. Xiao, you are not a native of Chongshan County, right?"

Huang Qiuyue sat next to Gu Cheng, with her elbows on the table, her hands supporting her cheeks, and her big black eyes flickered:

"Then when you go to Chongshan City in the future, you must tell me so that I can do my best to be a good host."

"Good host?"

Gu Cheng raised his sword eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Why, do you want to take me to visit the Chongshan City Demon Suppression Division Yamen?"

"Hui?"

Huang Qiuyue's smile froze, and she subconsciously asked back:

"How do you know..."

Halfway through her words, she saw the playful smile on Gu Cheng's face, and immediately realized that she was being tricked.

Hesitating and unable to speak, his silly expression like a groundhog made him look even cuter.

"Stupid girl!"

The middle-aged man on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and walked to Gu Cheng, clasping his fists and saying:

"Sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Xiao."

After that, he took out a talisman from his sleeve and activated his true energy.

The talisman ignited without fire and turned into an invisible barrier, covering the area and isolating the breath and sound inside and outside.

"I am Liu Qingshan, a deputy general of the Demon Suppression Department of Chongshan County."

After Liu Qingshan did all this, then introduced himself:

"I'm just trying to make friends with you. If I've offended you, please forgive me, Mr. Xiao."

"You're too polite, General Liu."

Gu Cheng put away his joking expression, bowed in return, and his attitude was quite polite.

Although he was wearing a vest now, they were all colleagues of the Demon Suppression Division after all, and the other party's strength was quite good, so he had to give them some face.

"Speaking of which... did you two come to Tieyun City to investigate the matter of the 'Rebirth Religion'?"

Gu Cheng shook his wine glass lightly, glanced at the two of them, and asked directly to the point.

"This..."

Liu Qingshan and Huang Qiuyue beside him changed their expressions slightly, looked at each other, and then nodded slowly:

"That's right... I wonder if Mr. Xiao made any unexpected discoveries when he destroyed the two gangs?"

"What can those two gangs of rabble find..."

Gu Cheng shook his head, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

This time he stayed in Tieyun City, originally wanting to fish in troubled waters in the affairs of the Rebirth Sect. Now that the Demon Suppression Division has intervened, the more muddy the water, the better.

So he pondered for a moment, lowered his voice, and said meaningfully:

"But... if you two want to investigate the 'Rebirth Sect', you might as well explore the City Lord's Mansion at night, and you may get some unexpected gains."

After speaking, Gu Cheng drank the wine in the glass, left a silver ingot, and got up and left.

"City Lord's Mansion?"

Liu Qingshan looked at the direction where the black-clothed young man was going away, frowning, thinking about something in his heart.

They have been investigating secretly in Tieyun City for many days, but have no clue.

Previously, they dared not act rashly because of the city lord Shen. Could it be that the problem lies in the city lord's mansion as this "Mr. Xiao" said?

But if so, doesn't it mean that the city lord Shen, who is in seclusion, is colluding with the Rebirth Sect?

"Sir Liu, that 'Mr. Xiao' should not have lied to us."

Huang Qiuyue picked up the chicken leg that Gu Cheng had not touched on the table and said vaguely while eating,

"Although I don't know what his purpose is, I can see with my eyes that he is definitely not a bad person."

"Oh? Can your 'spiritual eye' magical power also judge the good and evil of others?"

Liu Pianjiang looked surprised.

"That's not the case..."

Huang Qiuyue swallowed the food in her mouth, with little stars in her eyes and a silly smile on her face:

"But I can see through his true colors. He is so handsome, how can he be a bad guy?"

"..."

Liu Qingshan's face was dark.

If it weren't for this girl's "spiritual eyes" ability, which could see through the disguises of the spies of the "Rebirth Religion", he really didn't want to bring this stupid girl to carry out such a secret mission.

However, the proposal of that "Mr. Xiao" is indeed worth a try.

"It just so happens that I heard that City Lord Shen is still in seclusion. Tonight, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to find out!"
