But immediately Wang Ergou said "Haha" and said: "Master Xiao Zhuo, actually this matter is not a big secret. Everyone in the industry knows it."

"Well, that's it."

I said calmly.

Wang Ergou said that everyone in the industry knows this, which can be regarded as a standard answer.

But this answer can easily lead to loopholes if it only requires someone else to prove it.

At least this is the first time I've heard anyone say this.

And I vaguely felt that Wang Ergou meant to lure me to Ghost Heaven Palace by telling me this matter.

"Master Xiao Zhuo, do you know why Zhao Er and the corpse exorcists keep staring at you and want to know what your grandfather's secret is? So this time, the Zhao family issued a reward order. In fact, for

You are also at a disadvantage."

Wang Ergou pondered for a while and said.

Zhang Qing, who was standing by, heard Wang Ergou say that someone was going against me, and immediately expressed his stance: "Brother Gou, if anyone dares to go against Master Xiao Zhuo, I will kill him."

Wang Ergou ignored Zhang Qing.

I looked at Zhang Qing's righteous look. Maybe he didn't understand what we were saying?

But when I heard that someone was being unfavorable to me, I immediately stood up and took a stand, which was somewhat touching.

"Why is it so bad?"

I asked.

"If Guitian Palace has something to do with the secret that your grandfather has kept for ten years, everyone may think that you have the key to unlocking Guitian Palace. Do you think they will ask you to get the key before they go to Guitian Palace?"

Wang Ergou's eyes fell on me and started to wander around.

This is a hint to me.

I hummed and said, "What people outside say is completely nonsense. My grandfather didn't leave any secrets for me at all."

"Master Xiao Zhuo, we believe what you said, but do you think others will believe it?" Wang Ergou's voice suddenly lowered again, which gave me the feeling that he was still hinting at me.

"Brother Dog, who is out there? Wouldn't they believe what I said?"

I said calmly.

But Wang Ergou said at this moment: "Master Zhuo, many people outside will not believe what you say. In fact, you are still relatively dangerous now."

"Well, I understand, Brother Dog."

I answered.

"But Mr. Zhuo, you don't have to worry. No matter what happens, I, Wang Ergou, will definitely stand with you." Wang Ergou suddenly changed the topic.

Zhang Qing did not lag behind, and continued: "That's right, Master Xiao Zhuo, if anyone wants to hurt you, they should attack me first."

"Yeah, um, drink tea, drink tea."

I'll pour Wang Ergou a cup of tea.

Wang Ergou took a sip of tea. While he was drinking tea, he was also observing my reaction.

After chatting for a while, Wang Ergou answered a phone call and said that he had something to do and asked me to call him as soon as possible if I encountered any unexpected situation. He would definitely show up to protect me.

mine.

I hummed and sent him away.

Zhang Qing said to me: "Master Zhuo, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will give you a break."

Hearing Zhang Qing say this, I feel more and more that he is an honest person, but if someone is too honest, he will be taken advantage of.

He was probably used by the elders of the Corpse Exorcist Sect before.

I nodded and looked at the time. It was about five o'clock in the afternoon. People setting up stalls in the antique street were arriving one after another.

As I looked at the increasingly lively and bustling scene outside, I began to murmur in my heart.

I feel like Wang Ergou is trying to scare me.

But... what he said actually makes sense.

Once this crisis breaks out, many people's eyes will be on me.

I will be exposed to everyone's eyes, and my fourth uncle should know about this.

so……

After thinking about it, I gave my fourth uncle a call.

After the call was put through, the fourth uncle's voice came from the other side, "What's wrong? Xiao Zhuo."

"Fourth Uncle, what does the Zhao family's reward order mean?"

I asked straight to the point.

My fourth uncle must have heard some rumors. After waiting for a while, he said to me: "Xiao Zhuo, you don't need to pay attention to the reward order issued by the Zhao family. Just pretend that this thing didn't happen."

"But……"

"But what? Do you know the old man's secret? Then you tell me the secret, and I will turn around and declare to the outside world that I know the secret. I will see who dares to come and cause trouble for me."

Fourth uncle finished speaking and waited for me to answer.

But I couldn't help but take a breath. My fourth uncle seemed to be using this "reward order" to force me to reveal my grandfather's secret.

"Xiao Zhuo."

Maybe I didn't answer immediately. After waiting for a while, my fourth uncle's voice sounded again. I came to my senses and said, "Fourth uncle, I don't know grandpa's secret."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a busy signal on the other side of the phone. He hung up the phone without hesitation.

In fact, I still don't understand why my grandfather told me to beware of my fourth uncle before he died.

I took a deep breath, puzzled.

In this current situation, I am in danger.

I suddenly felt that no one was trustworthy, so I wanted to find the one person who was most likely to keep me safe among this group of untrustworthy people.

After thinking about it, a figure quickly appeared in my mind.

This person is none other than Xu Pingchun.

I really don’t know who to look for except Xu Pingchun.

Xu Pingchun still has a certain status in Jiangcheng, and ordinary people will easily dare not to trouble him.

With his signature, he can help me block at least 80% of the dangers.

After thinking for a while, I didn't waste any time and quickly called Xu Pingchun.

"Xiao Zhuo, why did you call Grandpa Xu today?"

I paused for a while and said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa Xu, can I stay at your house for a few days recently? If not, I can live in a tea house."

In fact, when I say this, Xu Pingchun should probably know my intention.

And this matter has spread, Xu Pingchun is also an old fox, now it depends on whether Xu Pingchun is willing to protect me.

After waiting for a while, Xu Pingchun smiled and said, "Of course. It just so happens that the idea you gave me last time really worked. Should you come here by yourself, or should I send someone to pick you up."

In order to avoid trouble and unexpected risks in this situation, I quickly said: "You'd better send someone to pick me up. Thank you, Grandpa Xu."

After hearing what I said, Xu Pingchun nodded and said, "Okay, where are you? I'll arrange for someone to go there right away."

"It's in my shop."

"good."

After a brief communication, we hung up the phone.

I said to Zhang Qing: "Look at what you have to pack. We need to stay at someone else's house for a few days."

"I don't have much, just a few clothes, Mr. Zhuo."

"Um."

I responded calmly and didn't say too much nonsense.
