"Is this Master Chen really as miraculous as the rumors say?"
Bai San Niang's face showed a hint of suspicion.
She had also heard rumors about Chen Yan on the way.
However, rumors in the martial arts world are often exaggerated to attract attention, so she doubted Chen Yan's ability to know everything.
Bai Zhantang laughed and said, "Mother, Da Zui is right. Manager Chen, well... how should I put it? You should treat him like a living god. There's nothing in this world that can stump him."
A living deity?
Bai San Niang was speechless and patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder.
She laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, you're getting more and more naughty! You even lie to your own mother. Everyone in this world is just a mortal, where are the immortals?"
"You'll see if you try it later."
Bai Zhantang pursed his lips, but did not refute.
After setting out the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes, she asked Mo Xiaobei to call Chen Yan to eat.
After a while.
Mo Xiaobai, Chen Yan, and Ah Huang entered the inn.
The diners in the inn all stood up and respectfully greeted Master Chen.
Seeing this, Bai San Niang frowned.
She was a public official who handled countless cases.
She had also encountered situations where people revered Chen Yan like a god; these were cases of a group of brainwashed cult members.
"Could this Master Chen also be involved in a cult?"
Out of professional habit, Bai San Niang secretly kept it in mind.
He thought to himself, if Chen Yan really is the leader of a cult, he should bring him to justice today and send him to the government for questioning.
Chen Yan took his seat.
Old Bai was about to introduce Bai San Niang to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan guessed Bai San Niang's identity and laughed, "Old Bai, no need for introductions. This must be your mother, the Hook Senior from the Six Doors. I've heard so much about you."
This sentence greatly shocked Bai San Niang.
He was utterly astonished. How did Chen Yan know his identity?
He thought to himself, even if Chen Yan is a cult member, he is a cult member with some power, and he must not be careless.
"Ah Huang, have a bone."
Chen Yan picked up a piece of meat bone and gave it to Ah Huang.
Guo Furong was surprised, "Why does Ah Huang seem a little different from usual today?"
Chen Yan just smiled, didn't answer, and continued eating.
During the meal, Bai Zhantang asked his mother about the whereabouts of Gongsun Wulong.
Bai San Niang sneered.
Judging from Chen Yan's youthful appearance and his cooped-up location in a small place like Qixia Town, he probably doesn't even know who Gongsun Wulong is.
well,
This is a perfect opportunity to expose Chen Yan, the leader of the cult!
As soon as he makes a mistake, arrest him immediately.
To everyone's surprise, after listening to Bai Zhantang's question, Chen Yan only pondered for a moment before laughing and asking, "What about Gongsun Wulong's whereabouts?"
There's no need to go through all that trouble to find him; he'll come to you on his own.
You little rascal!
Bai San Niang listened to Chen Yan's reply.
I felt a mixture of admiration and annoyance.
Chen Yan's all-purpose answer left her with no room for criticism.
He became even more wary of Chen Yan, feeling that although Chen Yan was young, he was confident, steady, and had a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances, making him a difficult opponent.
"What? Do you think I'm lying, Third Sister?"

Chen Yan noticed the strange look in Bai San Niang's eyes and smiled.
Bai San Niang simply smiled and denied any suspicion.
Chen Yan didn't argue with her, and said calmly, "Gongsun Wulong kills people everywhere and indiscriminately slaughters innocent people. This has become a demon in his heart, causing him unbearable pain."
In order to get rid of his inner demons, he killed a Shaolin monk, a Wudang master, and a learned scholar of the current dynasty.
But none of these people could help him overcome his inner demons.
Therefore, after hearing the rumors about me, they will definitely come to Qixia Town to find me, probably within the next few days.
After listening to Chen Yan's account, Bai San Niang was once again shocked.
He was about to slam his fist on the table and stand up to question Chen Yan about his identity.
How did they know that Gongsun Wulong had killed a Shaolin monk, a Wudang master, and a Grand Secretary of the court?
These matters are all recorded in the Ministry of Justice's archives, and are kept very secret; even most people in the Six Doors (a government agency) are unaware of them.
But why?
Chen Yan, however, knew everything.
Chen Yan didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to eat with a nonchalant air.
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he said, "He's here..."
Just as he finished speaking, a blurry, pixelated figure appeared at the entrance of Tongfu Inn.
The man was dressed in a simple cloth jacket and had a kind and gentle appearance.
However, there was a faint scarlet color in the depths of his eyes, which was quite terrifying.
"Gongsun Wulong!"
Bai San Niang exclaimed in surprise.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Collapse of Gongsun Wulong!
"Gongsun Wulong!?"
Upon seeing the old man appear at the inn's entrance, Bai San Niang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Her exclamation was partly due to surprise at Gongsun Wulong's sudden appearance, but more so because she was shocked that Chen Yan had actually guessed correctly.
There's no need to look for Gongsun Wulong; he'll appear on his own.
"Could it be that he is truly as omnipotent as the rumors suggest?!"
Looking at Chen Yan, Bai San Niang was horrified.
Chen Yan remained calm.
In the original story, Gongsun Wulong came to Xiucai to help him get rid of his inner demons, but before Xiucai could use his words to kill Ji Wubing, Chen Yan was rising to fame.
Gongsun Wulong would naturally stop looking for the scholar and instead look for himself.
His deduction was indeed correct.
However, Gongsun Wulong's arrival came even faster than he had imagined.
It seems that this old man is tormented by his inner demons even more deeply than in the original story.
"He's Gongsun Wulong?!"
"That ruthless, bloodthirsty demon!?"
"One of the highest-paid individuals by the Six Doors?!"
Upon hearing Bai San Niang call out Gongsun Wulong's name, the other diners in the inn also gasped in surprise.
They had all heard of Gongsun Wulong's demonic power and felt their hearts pound with fear, afraid that this old demon would unleash another massacre.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Master Chen?"
Gongsun Wulong, though imposing and powerful, was very polite and asked with a cheerful smile.
While eating, Chen Yan replied, "That's me."
Gongsun Wulong's expression brightened, and he hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting: "This old man is right. I would like to ask Master Chen for a favor."
Because I have killed too many people over the years, I am haunted by their vengeful spirits, and I have developed inner demons.
"I would like to ask Master Chen to help this old man resolve his inner demons. If you can accomplish this, just tell me who your enemies are, and I will kill them all for you, leaving no one alive!"
Everyone in the inn felt a chill run down their spines again.
Has killing so many people caused him to develop inner demons? Just how many people has Gongsun Wulong killed? No wonder he is one of the most wanted villains by the Six Doors.
